STORIES ABOUT coHeREssMEH.

Nothing so fully demonstrated Sena-
tor Daniels popularity as the fact that
in his first race for the senate he had
for an opponent General Fitzhugh Lee
and. having won the contest over one
Of the royal families Of Virginia, II
was plain to be seen that nobody could
beat him, so he has been twice unani-
mously reelected, nobody thinking II
worth the while to run against him
To show what a hold the Lee family
has on the affections of the people OF
the Old Dominion, John Wise tells this
story:
Said he: when F1tzhugh Lee was
governor Of Virginia, called on him
one morning, and while we were engag-
ed in a social chat servant came in
to the room to tell him that China
man named Wun Lung craved for an
audience with him.
Governor Lee jumped up and with
an air Of mock CONSERVATION, exclaim-
ed: why, now, can't allow Wun
Lung to walk up here with that laun-
dry. I'll go down and get it. Ah.
governor said I, 'Wun Lung has no
right to your patronage, anyway. Wah
Lee has done more for you than anyone
else. He made you governor OF Vir-
ginia.'
Hon. William H. Wallace, Of Kansas
City, tells the following:
"At church In rural community
one time, while the deacons were tax
ing up the morning collection, one OF
them, becoming suddenly demented,
walked out Of the door with the money
he had collected in his hat, leaving the
audience too thunderstruck to move or
utter sound. Finally the preacher
broke the solemnity, as he gazed at the
absconding deacon. IF he walks of
with that money, he will be damned,
whereupon an old deacon exclaimed,
We'll. If he hasn't already walked of
with it, I'll be damned"
Hon. Jasper Talbert, Of South Caro-
lima. told the following to illustrate
how Republicans stick to their party:
Down in South Carolina" he said,
"there was a rich man died, and they
gave him great funeral. On the way
to the cemetery the band marched be-
hind the hearse playing the Dead
March in SAUL Suddenly the bass
violin croaked out tremendous ear
splitting discord that drowned all the
other music and frightened the hearse
horses so, that they ran of and threw
the corpse out, and that scared the
other horses so that they ran off, and
there was the very old harry to pay
everywhere. The bandmaster FASTENED
back to the bass viol and exclaimed:
Have you gone crazy? Why in the
world did you play such a discord?
Well, SIR said the bass viol, I didn't
mean no harm; wouldn't have done
any harm for the world If I could have
helped 1t, but the way Of 1t Is this:
You see, sir, a horse fly lit on my note
book, and I thought 1t was note, and
1 played her. Champ Clark.

kJ Upon the corner Of the Profile
House, White Mountains, this autumn,
a party of visitors discussed the pro-
nunciation of the word, giving the
place and the house its name. Some
were for "Profyle;" oehers for PRO
to drive up. one of the party suggested
that they leave it to him. The others
for fun, consented. "Wa-al," drawled
the native, true to the Yankee trick OF
answering a question with question,
would you say twas woodpyle or q
woodpeel that yer had in yer back
yard?"

Tar They were talking about the beef,
which was very tough, at the boarding
house table. Some one suggested that
1t was from an old cow. 1T seems
strange" said Mrs. c., but the tender

or II years old" That's easily ex-
planned" said a big Irishman at the
foot of the table: the cow was so old
she was childish"
