HOW A WOMAN swEARs.

A member of the Virginia Con-
stitutional Convention who was in
the Confederate States army and
followed General Lee TO Appomat
tox, was telling story the other
day about a poor widow woman
with several children, who went to
the Federal quaitermaster TO get
something TO cat for herself and
small children, everything she had
having been appropriated by Gen.
Grants bluecoats.
Gwen, madam" said the quarter
master, ''you will have to take the
test oath before you can get any
thing from me-"
The lady was unused to subscrib-
ing to oaths, and she was nonplus-
sed for few moments. Then she
thought of her children and their
hunger, and inquired
"Do you mean that | must
swear?"
That's the idea exactly. Just
walk up and take the OATH" said
the quartermaster.
"Do you really mean it2" the
lady asked. "Is that the require
ment in the army2"
When informed that the law
must be complied with, she stepped
up to within few feet Of the
quartermaster, with memories of a
depleted larder and a devastated
farm and said with a tremor
"Damn the Yankees :"
A roar followed her novel swear
ing, she got her supplies and went
her way rejoicing, never under
standing why a woman should have
to swear in order to get something
to eat.

If the story that Sampson might
not appear before the Schley Court
of Inquiry was put out as feeler
by the anti-Schley gang in the Navy
Department to ascertain how the
public would take some sort of
official juggling that would enable
Sampson to avoid the trial which
his cross-examination by Gerry"
Wilson, Schley's chief counsel, is
certain to be, as many suspect,
they must be thoroughly convinced
by the howl it raised that the public
will not stand for any such business
as that. 1t was Sampson who was
Schley's first accuser and who was
mainly instrumental IN the forma.
ton of the naval clique which has
so persistently sought to ruin Schley
and it is Sampson who must either
clear himself or forever condemn
himself Although the clique pre-
tends to talk as though Sampson
had no more interest in the court
than any other officer who happens
to be a witness, every mothers son
Of them knows that as soon as that
court gets started it will be plain to
all the world that it is Sampson and
not Schley, who is on trial, and it
is a great deal more likely that the
report and recommendations Of the
court will be against Sampson than
against Schley In view Of these
things tits absurd for anybody to
talk about Sampson not appearing
before the Court.

WHEN FATHER RODE THE GOAT.

The house is full of arnica
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike a note;
The doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge a week ago
Got in at 4 a. M,
And sixteen brethren brought him
home,
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained, and one big
rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been a lively time
When father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch to-day
And practicing his signs
The hailing signal, working grip,
And other monkeyshines;
He mutters passwords, meath his
breath,
And other things he'll quote
They surely had an evenings work
When father rode the goat.
He has a generous uniform,
All gold and red and blue.
His hat with plumes and yellow
braid,
And golden badges, too.
But somehow when we mention it,
He wears look so grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.

completely in the comissary frauds
at Manila and sentenced to three
years in the military prison, at that

from the army. Reads lawyers
have secured promise from Sec'y
Root 10 review the case. One of
the claims of the lawyers is that the
court martial was irregular because
nine of its members were officials
of the regular army; that Read be-
ing a volunteer officer was entitled
to trial by court composed exclu-
sively of volunteer officers. But
the strongest claim in Reads behalf
is that represented by his daddie's

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Preparing To Prosecute the Bio
Steel Trust.
Sampson TO be Tried Instead or SchIey
Prom our regular correspondent.

from our regular correspondent
WAsHINGToN, August 10, 1901
The adage about birds that can
sing and won't sing should be equal
ly applicable to public officials. At
least, that is the unanimous verdict
of a joint committee from the
American Antitrust League and
the Knights of Labor, and most
unpreJudiced men are likely to vote
aye. These gentlemen know that
the Attorney General of the United
States can do his duty, by proceed
ing against the big steel trust for
having violated the Sherman anti
trust law, and they are determined
to make him do it or know the rea-
son why. They are proceeding in
a businesslike way; have employed
two lawyers-ex-Attorney General
Monett, of Ohio, and Mr.. A. A.
Lipscomb, of Washington, to col
lect evidence of the violation of the
Sherman antitrust law and submit
it to the Attorney General with
demand that he begin legal pro-
ceeding in the name of the United
States against the trust. Speaking
of their intentions, Mr.. II. b. Mar.
tin, Chairman of the Joint commit
tee, said "In the event of the
complaint being blocked in the
Attorney Generals office, or if he
does not consider it advisable to act
in the matter, we have decided to
lay the papers in the case before the
President of the United States. In
fact, we are prepared to take steps
for mandamus proceeding if we
are pushed to extremes, but it is
doubtful if either OF the last two
named actions will be necessary,
and we are proceeding with the
idea that there will be no bitches of
any description" They are also
preparing to bring legal actions
against the steel trust under the
laws of-the States in which it carries
on its business. The action of the
committee is receiving endorsement
from every direction and some of
them have been accompanied by
the strongest evidence of genuine G.
ness-cash contributions to aid in
paying the necessary expenses.
