IF YOU WANT A DRINK.
One Must Ask for "sherry" In the
Congregational Restaurant In
stead of whisky.

If you are a stranger and happen to
be in the capitol when the appetite for
red liquor strikes yon, tits necessary to
give the bartender in the public restau-
rant the password before your thirst
can be quenched. II you ask him for
liquor he will say he has none. But if
you tell him you want sherry he will
hand over the liquor bottle, says the
ST. Louis pcst-Dspatch.
Sherry" is The password, and is
known 10 everyone who has occasion to
visit the house bar. Beer in bottles is
dispensed to the thirsty on both sides
OF the capitol. but on the senate side It
is not possible TO get sherry" The
result is that the house bar does a hand
some business.
The government furnishes every
thing in the senate restaurant save the
eatables, the silverware and linen. Ice,
coal, fuel and Illuminating gas are paid
for out of the government funds. For
the house restaurant, however, the
lessee buys ice and fuel.
The charges in the senate restaurant
are nothing short of exorbitant. while
more moderate prices prevail in the
house. The more select crowd Of repre-
sentatives, however, usually adjourn
10 the senate restaurant at lunch hour
preferring to pay little more for the
privilege of being in the company of the
grave and reverend senators.

Now as matter Of fact, this balancing
has nothing at all to do with the run

nothing 1t is the way wheel runs
when under a load that shows its quail

have long appreciated this fact. Last
summer there was a coasting contest
near New York, and among the con-

same weight. One rode wheel which

Court House loan OF 900 ON Satur-
day. It was a mad piece Of work. but
there was method in the madness. It's
promoters merely took advantage OF
an opportunity to endeayor to convince
the public that It is in such a prosperous
condition that 1t can go about the counr
try dealing in bonds in blocks Of sG9,-
900. NO doubt il was all talked over he
fore the bid was put in. The adyer-
tising feature on the game. and the op-
pormnlties afforded to impress the peo-
pie with the financial responsibility or
the concern were probably the princi-
pal lines of conversation. Had the
Levy Court awarded the loan to the
Economic Insurance Company, we inn
aglne that there would have been a
humi-dating backduwn unless some
body with money had come to its re-
lief A corporation which is apparently
afraid TO have the state or its business
made public; which does not figure in
the Published list Of Insurance conn
panles authorized to do business in the
state; which puts unlicensed solicitors
in the field, and does other unlawful
things not calculated TO inspire public
confidence cannot be in a position to
buy $4,000 worth OF county bonds We
repeat that the bid was nothing more
than a bluff; and this is made doub,g
apparent when its bid was 3ik psu

There was tall young woman at the
Horist's, q self-possessed young person,
with that sublime air of unquestioned
omniscience which the diploma of a
small institution Of learning alone can
confer. 1 emphasize the small, for the
big universities do not confer ON
niscience. They go further and teach
their graduates what Socrates in his
wisest moment discoyered-that they
know nothing. Anyway. this young
woman knew It all and the timid,
shrinking little elderly woman with her
didn't.
"oh, Jenniel" the little woman said
"ain't those hrysanthemums just love-

Jennie looked vexed, but she correct
ed the plural with kind condescension.
"Yes, mother" she made answer.

That one word condescension reminds
me Of conversation l overheard the
other day between two worthy danes
