What He Thought.

81 don't take much stock in these
stories about a drowning mans whole
past life rushing bsfore his minde's eye
like PANORAMA" remarked Uncle Al
len Sparks. II got tangled up with a
horse in deep HsUer once, and had .
pretty close csll, but all I thought vas,
'l'G hste to have folks think I hadn't
more gumption than to get drowned
trying to ford a creek where it's ten
feet deep. We must get out Of this!'
And l managed to cut the horses kar-
ness, and We both got out alive. I don't
knoa what the horse was thinking, but
I'm wiling to bet it vas about the
same."-Cnicsgo Tribune.

hands Of South Carolinians. He could
not put Democrats in all the Offices, but
he tried to get the best he could, and if
he could not get Democrats he got the
most acceptable Republicans. He went
to the senate to represent his people
and do the best be could for them. He
highly complimented Mr.. Jchnstone on
his speech for ability and courtesy.
Col. Johnstone had made great
blunder in his subsidy argument. The
strongest lobby in the senate was the
Pacific railways, and they did not fs-
vor the subsidy as he claims, but
fought it. Mr.. Hill, president Of the
Northern Pacific, fought the subsidy
bill all the time. The subsidy bill and
the canal bill have to get together, and
to this Josh Ashley ssid the tenth
