AN ABsENT-MINDED SECRETARY
The best evidence Of Senator Vests re-
cuperation is the fact that he is again
telling stories. Yesterday, in the cloak
room, one of Mr.. Vests colleagues
gave an exhibition Of absent minded
ness which recalled to the Missouri
senator an incident which happened in
his state.
L was at a mass-meeting once upon
a time" said Mr.. Vest, when we dis
cussed a resolution Of some kind or
other for several hours. Finally one of
the delegates began a speech, which
wandered all over creation. Someone
interrupted him with the remark that
he ought to confine his remarks to the
resolution.
"'Yes, said Judge Philips, who was
presiding, the gentleman must speak
to the resolution
"'Let US have the resolution read,
suggested someone in the meeting.
Judge Philips stopped down and
whispered to the absent-minded secre-
tary, Read the resolution he said.
"'H'm?' queried the secretary, wax
ing up. What resolution"
1.-The one we have been discussing
for several hours replied Judge Phil
ips.
THE resolution was hunted for high
and low, but could not be found. On
the secretary's desk there was a bit OF
paper which looked as if it had been
nibbled by a mouse. 1t was all that
remained of the resolution. The ao-
sent-minded secretary had eaten the
rest"

A GOOD CAT SToRY.-I once had a cat
which always sat up at the dinner table
with me, and mad his napkin round his
neck, and his plate, and some flsa. He
used his paw, Of course, but he was
very particular and behaved with ex-
traordinary decorum. When he had
finished his fish sometimes gave him
piece Of mine. One day he was not
to be found when the dinner bell rang,
so we began without him. Just as the
plates were being put around for the
entree, puss came rushing upstairs and
sprang into his chair. with two mice in
his mouth. Before he could be stopped
he dropped a mouse on to his own plate
and then one on to mine. He divided
his dinner with me, as I divided mine
with him.-Glasgow Evening Times.

No REASONING REoUIRED.-Presiden
Patton, of Princeton University. re-
Gently delivered a sermon at the Fifth
Avenue Collegiate church, his subject
being Faith" DR.. Patton spoke of the
blind faith Of the client who puts him
self at the mercy of the lawyer in pre-
pairing an action for trial, and of the
confidence of the sick in intrusting
themselves to the physician.
"A case of blind faith" said the cler-
gyman. The doctor writes out a pre-
scription. Oftener than not you cannot
read it; you don't know what it is. He
tells you to take it. Yours not to rea-
son: yours but to do and die"
Whether or not DR.. Patton meant it
there was a distinct ripplet throughout
the congregation.

CHEROKEE.

Gaffney Ledger, March /: One of the
saddest deaths that we have had In
our city for some time, occurred Mon
day night at Ii o'clock when Mrs. Mag
gle J. Carroll was suddenly called to
her reward. Mr.. Samuel Harman,
an old man who lived near Pacolet,
came to his death in a rather peculiar
manner Tuesday. He had ridden into
Pacolet on horse which was quite old
and feeble, to make some purchases. On
his way home his horse fell and threw
him into ditch and then fell on top of
him, crushing the old man to DEATH
No one saw the fall but he was soon
discovered and the horse taken off of
him. He was nearly dead when taken
out of the ditch, and soon after breath
ed his last without having regained
consciousness. Mr.. Harmon was about
Is years of age and had lived near Pac-
olet all his life, in company with a Sis
ter, who is 10 years of age. The old
man had many friends and no enemies,
and it is a matter of regret that he
should lose his life in such a manner
......The lawyers from neighboring
towns who have business in court, have
already begun to arrive, and others
be present. The usual crowd of spec

inquest that Williams was in the house
when Jenkins entered. The latter said
Good evening"" In response to this
salutation, Williams invited him to the
place where bad Negroes go when they
die. Jenkins did not accept the invita-

strated with him so that he died. The

About ten days ago there was small
wreck in the railway yards, and an en-
CINE and a few cars were dumped rather
promiscuously. 1t was reported that
there was a dead man in the deal. 1t
was necessary to get a solid substance
to hitch the tackle to by which the en-
CINE was to be righted. For this pur-
pose a large post was sunk in the
ground. This is sometimes known as
dead man" An Oelwein citizen asked
Agent Sayle where a certain party was.
and the gentleman responded: He is
over there digging a hole for the dead
man." The Mortified citizen at once
started the report that man had been
killed in the wreck, and that they were
burying him in the yard. Who the cl-
CARS are on the reader may decide, says

coming? Why the era Of condensed

half hundred other condensed things
have been on the market for years.
Celery salt appeared on the restaurant
tables few years ago. and now you
can't pick up a bottle and shake 1tsovef

ondiments and relishes; but the latest
thing out in the east is condensed on

is to shake the box over your steak and

Onion salt will knock all of those relish-

II don't know how onion salt is pre-
