A story of FuseIi.

who grew in fame after ITO. when he first
formed the resolution to devote his talents
to painting, was rather fond of sarcastic
remarks a I the expense of his friends. saws

Northcote, a contemporary, exhibited his
Judgment of Solomon" FuseM looked at
it with a smiTk on his face.
How do you like my picture?'' inquired
Northcote.
Much was the answer. THE action
suits the words. Solomon holds out his
fingers like a pair of open scissors at
child, and says: Cut it, like II much. 8"
Northcote remembered this when Fusel
exhibited a picture representing Hercules
drawing his arrow at Pluto.
How do you like my picture?" inquired

Gen. ]. c. Bates. one of the new ma
jor generals, is one of the few officers who
speaks a Philippine dialect fuently. He
is said to be a master of two.
Only one man that served in the Con-
federate Senate during the war is now
to be found in the United States Senate.
That is Vest of Missouri. When he retires,
which is expected to take place before
long, the last of the Confederate senators
will have passed from public life.
The rich South Africans in London
have been much criticised for the small
part they have taken in the war that is
now being fought chiefly in their behalf
The only woman who seems to have done
anything is Mrs. Sydney Goldman, wife
of one of the richest of the millionaires
who has gone to the TransVaal as a field
nurse. She was the daughter of Lord
Peel. Her sister, Mrs. Rochfort Mcguire
is giving the use of all the vacant cot
tages on her estates to the families of

Joe xNheeIer,s Bluff.

Manila correspondent of the Washing
ton Post thus relates how Gen. Wheeler
heard the news that there was talk of
running Dewey and himself for the pres
idency.
He was silent for moment and then
said:
Just after my class had been gradu-
ated at West Point the officer command
ing gave us little talk 10 this effect:
"'''You will now be sent TO join your
outfits in various places. 1t is quite pos
sible that you will find in your new post
some officer whose rank Is even higher
than yours You will see in a moment that
his ideas of conducting post or cam
paign are hopelessly wrong. You are fresh
from the academy and you know. He is
old and set in his ways-had been pretty
good soldier possibly-and yet is wholly
unfit to be your chief now. You will feel
that it is your duty to tell your COM
mander a few things about soldiering-but
don't do it. He won't understand it. And
don't ease your mind about him TO any
also the orderies, and the ear of all ears
is the post commander, who will show
some old-fashioned phases of soldering
when your words reach home"
g L never quite forgot those words of the
officer commanding, observed Gen. Wheel
er. His words were significant, but his
manner was as kind as possible.
Just at this moment word was brought
in that Col. Bell had ridden into Tarlac
and found it deserted And in the general
panic of the moment Gen. Wheeler babe
us goodnight sweetly, and the orderly
showed us where we were to bunk"

Here. says the Chicago News, is story
with a moral. A countryman had just
returned from a journey 10 Paris. One
of his cronies asked him what opinion he
had formed of the Parisians. Delightful
people," he replied, but frivolous.
changeable and altogether incapable of
forming an attachment of any duration"
How long were you there2" asked his
friend Three days"
A writer says: 81 happen to know a case
which illustrates forcibly how easy an ac-
cident might have affected the whole
course of history. A few engineers, of
whom Sir Bevans Edwards is the only
survivor. composed the party which Blew
UP the docks at Sebastopol. There was a
shaft thirty feet deep, with a gallery run
ming horizontal from it. At the bottom
of the shaft just inside the gallery, stood
one Gordon-afterward of China and Khar-
toum-with a lighted candle in his hand.
The powder was lowered in flour barrels
and one of these slipped from the sings,
fell TO the bottom of the shaft and broke
up, so that Gordon was left standing up
to his knees in gunpowder with a lighted
candle in his hand. That there was no
premature explosion was a miracle, and if
that miracle had not been worked the odds
are that a different dynasty would be rul-
Ing in China and that Lord Kitchener
would never have had the opportunity of
making his famous march to Khartoum."
In Lewis Melvi,le's recent Life of
Thackeray" there is a diverting descrip-
ton of the first meeting of the great
novelist and Charlotte Bronte. She had
formed an ideal and expected him 10 live
up to it, and. austere little genius that she
was, was inclined to be angry with her
favorites if their conversation or conduct
fell below her Ideal.

he said, "the miserable humiliation of see
ing her ideal of me disappearing down my
own throat as everything went into my
mouth and nothing came out of it. At last
as I took my fifth potato she leaned across,
with clasped hands aud tears in her eyes,
and breathed imploringly:

when James Munroe Was President.

From the Youths Companion.
Though fashion-plates were quite IN
known,
Was ever beauty like arrayed?
Entertainments spell has never flown
From dainty lace and rich brocade
The DANES, the maids, the gowns they
wore
Were taste and grace and beauty blent
And hearts We're warm unto the core
When James Monroe was President.
The beaux, rare gentlemen, forsooth
Wore wigs combed up in powdered puff
And no one blushed to take, in truth
From silver box pinch of snuff.
Sweet Courtesy held high command,
And men were peers to all intent,
The mark of rank an honest hand,
When James Monroe was President
And tallow nodded round wick
When burning seemed as diamonds
bright,
They'd scarce have traded candle stick
For twinkling incandescent light,
The danes, the maids, and gallants all.
Who long have slept meath earthly
tent,
The same whose presence graced the ball
When James Monroe was President
All long the years that intervene
Yet, laugh, we scoffers, as we may,
Still Purity's acknowledged queen,
And Courtesy is king to-day.
Hearts beat as warm to-day as then,
And charitys as kindly meant
AS twas 'mong those, Gods noblemen,
When James Monroe was President

COMMISSIONER EVANS UNDER FIRE

Mr.. Evans, the Commissioner of Pen
sions, does not give satisfaction to the
Grand Army of the Republic. 1t is al
most thirty-five years since the close of
the Civil War, and yet there was appro-
priated the other day for pensions the
enormous sum of $145 900. There is not
a European country that is not amazed
at the amount which is distributed in this
country in pensions. 1t looks as if one
party were about as much TO blame as
the other for this great pension burden,
a burden which threatens to increase
rather than diminish.
A committee of the Senate has been ex-
aiming Commissioner Evans during the
last few days for the purpose of finding
out why it is he is not more liberal in con-
STRUNG the pension laws. Pensioners and
pension, attorneys complain that they do
not get as much money as they ought to
have. What they mean is that they do
not get as much as they would like to
have. If everything In the treasury were
turned over to them they would not be
satisfied. They would insist upon addi-
tional taxes being levied for pension pur-
poses.
Commissioner Evans explained that as
liberal an Interpretation was given to the
pension laws now as in the past but that
there was a demand for a more liberal in
depreciation. He pointed out that the PEN
sion attorneys were insisting upon giving
the laws a meaning that they would not
bear. Assistant Commissioner Davenport
called attention 10 some of the pension
abuses. For instance, he said that if a
pensloner. afflicted with rheumatism. who
was getting $50 per month became bed
ridden, so that he had to have the at
tention of a nurse, the law permitted an
increase in his pension to $72 per month
If he got about again. however. this in
crease must tie stopped. But how is the
pension office TO know that the pensioner
is not still practically helpless? As a
matter of fact 1t does not know, and il
seems thet many of these pensioners who
have had their pensions increased from
$50 to S72 per month go on drawing the
larger amount, Notwithstanding the fact
that they no longer have an attendant.
and Congress refuses TO amend the law so
that the commissioner would be in a posi-
ton to know when the government was
being defrauded.
If the truth could be obtained II would
appear probably that hundreds of millions
of dollars in pensions have been paid out
by the government to persons not enti-
tied to anything from the government.
Doubtless many of the examiners are in
different about their work, much prefer
ring that the applicants shall get PEN
sions even though not justly entitled to
them. There are $500 of these examiners.
and it is hardly reasonable 10 suppose that
all of them are careful of the interests
of the government.

ONE VIEW OF THE CURRENCY BILL,

ONE VIEW OF THE CURRENCY BILL
There are two reasons why the Demo-
Gratis have not made, and are not making
more vigorous fight against the goio
standard currency bill. One is that they
know hat the Republicans have the requl-
site majority and have determined to pass
it. Therefore it would simply be a waste
of time to make a long drawn out hght
against it, The other is that they believe
that it will help their party in the presl-
Dental election. There is good ground Tor
ttis belief At the last presidential cleo
ton many Democrats voted against Mr..
Bryan because they were afraid that if
he were elected the currency of the coun-
try would be put on silver basis, ana
there were many bimetallists who voted
for Mr. Mckinley because the Republican
party promised that II would make every
effort to secure International bimetallism
If the gold standard bill becomes a law,
it will not be possible to change the laws
so as to favor silver for several years.
Hence. gold Democrats will feel free to
vote the Democratic ticket at the next
presidential election. BY passing the gold
standard currency bill the Republicans
VIII prove to the satisfaction of the whole
country that they were not sincere when
they placed plank in their platform in
1876 in favor of international bimetallism.
Therefore the probabilities are that the
gold standard currency bill win strengthen
the Democratic party.
Ii is a matter of comment in the New
York papers that when Mr.. Bryan visited
New York in 1896 the values of all kinds
of securities were affected injuriousiy.
When he was in that city the other day
the security market was not affected IN
the least. The reason his presence dis
turbel values in 1896 and not in 1900 is al
legged to be that in the former year free
silver coinage was feared Now free sill
yer coinage is regarded as so improbable
by the ffnanciers of New York that Mr..
Bryan's presence in that city causes no
alarm.
There nave been some indica tons that
Republican leaders are somewhat in
doubt whether they have not made a mis-
take in committing their party TO the gold
stacdard. 1t is probable that they have
been guided largely by the corporations
and the trusts. They may find out that
the trusts and the rich men do not rule
tie country absolutely. The plain peo,
pie have votes, and they may take a no.
ton that the Republican party is so com
pletely in the power of trusts that the
good of the country requires a change in
the political complexion of the govern
ment Certain it is that the Democratic
leaders now feel more confident of sue
cess this year than at any previous time
since the last presidential contest.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Buffalo IN. " Courier Dem) says:
Several organs of the dominant party
have pointed with pride to the appear
ance of new treasury surplus. Unmind-
fun of recent events they say that such a
thing could happen only under Repubn-
can administration. If honest and eff
Gent administration has Introduced large
economies and reduced public expenditures
and thereby secured a surplus for the gov
eminent, il is also a thing to claim credit
for 1t cannot be successfully asserted
that any Important measure of this kind
has been adopted during the present period
of Republican power at Washington.
The more prosperous condition of
the treasury at the present time is the re-
suit of heavy, taxation which the people
assumed nearly two years ago TO defray
the expenses of the Spanish war, the short
duration of which could no more be fore
seen than the weakness of the enemy.
The credit for the new surplus is due,
wholly and exclusively, to the taxpayers
of the country who were willing TO as
sumo a great load and are toilng to I'LL
the Golfers of the government"
The Birmingham (Ala) News (Dem)
says: Some of the press dispatches class
Senator Turner of Washington as Dem
ocrat He was elected as a Populist and
prior TO becoming such he was a Repub-
lcan and he'd sway many years ago as
carpet bag boss in Alabama. The Democ-
racy has a sufficiency of sins to answer for
without having Turner and his record un-
loaded upon it,"
OF the Florida Republicans choice for
vice presidential honors, the Cleveland
Plain Dealer Dem) says: The Hon Tim
othy L. Woodruff vice presidential posi-
bnity, is accused OF wearing fancy waist
coats. But who cares how fancy they
are, long as the pockets are capacious?"
The Houston CTex) Post Qnd.) says:
The Hepburn Morgan Nicaragua canal
bin will certainly become a law during
the present session Of Congress. The Pres
ident stands ready to sign It, Speaker Hen
derson Is strongly committed to It and a
poll of both houses reveals a powerful
majority in It's behalf"
