A Joke on Reed.

A good story is told in West Vir-
ginia involving two of the congress
men from that snug little state and
Thomas B. Reed, the gigantic speaker
of the last house. The two West Vir-
ginianS are Blackburn B. Dovener and
Romeo Hoyt Freer. Both are small in
stature and wonderfully alike in their
general appearance. Together they
went up to the ponderous Maine man
to be introduced.
''Humph!" said Mr.. Reed, sis that
the best the Persimmon state can
do?''
''What do you mean?'' asked Mr..
Freer.
Nothing" drawled the elephantine
speaker. 81 was only wondering at
the uniformity of things down your
way. I suppose the horses are all
ponies and the persimmons all
dwarfs-''
''Wen,' interrupted Mr.. Freer.
''there is one thing in our favor, the
persimmon has more taste than the
pumpkin
The laugh was on the speaker, and
he acknowledged it by cordially grasp
ing the hands of the lilliputians and
joining in the merriment.-Success.

average of one month, these being
records that are not equaled else

A few drops of alcohol mixed with a
little olive oil in the proportion of two

of alcohol is better mixture with
which to rub polished tables than the
plain oil. The alcohol cuts and takes

A good way is never to apply liquid
odor directly to an article of clothing,
but keep sachet bags everywhere in the
wardrobe. By this means every article
of clothing has faint aroma, too sub
