Art and and the Cabinet.

With the wane of the discussion on
the subject of bear hunting in the cabi-
net has come another spicy topic, with
the point of the joke all on Secretary
Hitchcock, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune.
The duties of the secretary Of the in
terror are somewhat hazy and i'll de-
fined in the minds of the majority of
people. The corresponding range OF
subjects referred to Secretary Hitch
cock is somewhat astounding. He af-
firms, however, that the limit was
passed the other day when he received
the following request through the mail;
'Will you please give me the names
and addresses of three or more art stu
dents, where they want woman with
a perfect form to pose as modelY
"That seems clearly to belong to the
secretary of the exterior" was Mr.
Hitchcock's dry comment.

SAVED FAMILY FROM OCEAN.
How Captain WhaIen Rescued
His Wife and Children.

Captain Lewis Whalen stood on the
coal barge, Lady Jane, which parted
its hawser of Clinton and was pound
ing and sinking, battered by the hur-
ricane, says a New Haven press dis
patch.
Here come my children" shouted
Captain Whalen.
The tug McWilliams stood along
side, but could not get within so feet
of the doomed barge.
Selling his two little sons. he swung
each around his head till he had gain
ed momentum enough to hurl him in
to the arms of the crew of the McWil-
liams. He babe his wife strip off all
but her light dress. She obeyed and
the crew of the MeWllliams threw
aboard the barge stout rope, one end
made fast 10 the stays of the tug. Cap
tain Whalen tied the other end of the
rope around his wife's waist, picked
her up and threw her into the sea.
The crew of the McWilliams worked
like trojans and hauled her aboard the
tug within minute. She was uncon-
scious from the shock of the ice cold
water, but soon revived in the en-
CINE room of the tug.
Captain Whalen followed her in a
leap which gave the tug crew chance
to pull him aboard and the barge sank
within two minutes after the Whalens
left it.
1t was loaded with 500 tons of coal
and was bound for New London.
Captain Whalen aud his rescued
family were brought here on the
McWilliams and took train for
their home in Jersey city.

If ex-Speaker Reeds epigrams and
scattered witticisms thrown off in the

"The senate is a place that good rep
resentatives so to when they die"
One of Reeds replies to the late Rep
resentative Springer Of Illinois, who
received many sharp thrust from
him, is also celebrated. Springer had
retorted to Reed on one occasion that
he would rather be right than be
president"
~You need not be alarmed" respond
ed Reed coolly; you will never be
either"
Congressman Sherman OF New York
relates this story Of ex-Speaker Reed,
which has to do with visit made by
Mr.. Reed to Lake Champlain, New
York: Mr. Reed, Mr.. Sherman and
Congressman Foote were being shown
around by a native who had the story
of that region at his tongues end and
who, much to the amusement of his
listeners, was throwing in lot of his
torical fiction as establishment to his
tale. The native seemed to take par
ticular interest in "stufing" Mr.. Reed,
whose identity was unknown to him.
In a spirit of fun Mr.. Sherman intro
duced the eX-speaker.
''This gentleman" he said to the ma
tive, lis Speaker Reed, the speaker of
the American congress-"
"Do tell" said the native without
any great degree of astonishment.
na 80
continued, addressing the eX-speaker.
''They do say as how you be the great
est speaker what they have ever had.
They do say that you can speak for
fifteen hours ON a stretch"
This is too much" said Mr.. Reed.
"He takes me for United States SEN
ator."
The following story is told of Thomas
B. Reeds aptness, for it will be gener-
ally conceded that few men have equal
led him in his Quickness at repartee.
Mr.. Reed was conducting some of the
Canadian members of the joint high
arbitration commission through the
capitol at Washington one winter.
They were greatly impressed with the
importance of their cicerone and the
ease with which all places flew open
at his appearance, But they finally ar
rived at door which failed to swing
aside at the speakers ''open sesame"
"Your authority does not seem to be
SO absolute here" remarked Sir Will
frid Taurier To the car
ooh, it isn't hair trigger, but it will
be all right in minute" responded Mr..
Reed. At that very moment the door
was opened by unseen hands, which
persuaded his followers that he had
spirits also at his command.

What TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use Of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 20 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

One day when a discussion on pen
sions was dragging its slow length
along Mr.. Reed, who was the very pic
ture of health, amused a coterie OF
friends in the cloakroom by giving a
reason why he should have pension.
1t ran something as follows: Il had
never been able to make more than
$500 or 5000 a year." said he, with a
chuckIe ''till / was appointed acting
assistant paymaster of the United
States navy at a salary of $1,4OO, with
board, lodgings, uniform and two serv-
ants to wait on me. That induced an
extravagant style of living, which l
have kept up ever since and which has
cost me thousands and thousands OF
dollars, for which the government
ought in good conscience to compen-
safe me-"

received Mr Reeds letter. The ex-
speaker began by saying that he was
"a young fellow in the law business
and was afraid of charging too much"
and concluded by saying that If $1,OOO
wasn't too high he might send that
amount. The rest of the letter was
written in Mr.. Reeds characteristic
style of droll humor.
81 wouldn't have baked for a mo
ment at paying fee of $25,0o0," said
the corporation man in telling Of it aft
erward, ''but drew a check and wrote
a letter about like this:
Dear Mr.. Reed-If the young fellows in
the profession are going to be such bears
in the market, how are the older ones 60
ing to make living? I have taken the
liberty Of tampering with your bill by in
closing a check for 81, 500.
The next morning the man received
the following telegram:
Washington, D. C.-You are altogether
too good for this world. T. B. REED.
Mr.. Reed won the case for the corpo-
ration.
A good story is told in Vest Virginia,
SAYS Cyrus Patterson Jones, involving
two of the former congressman from
the snug little state and Thomas B.
Reed, the gigantic ex-speaker. The two
West Virginians are Hon. Blackburn
B. Dovener and Hon. Romeo Hoyt
Freer. Both are small in stature and
wonderfully alike in their appearance.
Together they went up to the ponder
GUS Maine man to be introduced.
"Humphp' said Mr.. Reed. els that
the best the Persimnon State can do?"
What do you mean" asked Mr..
Freer.

speaker. II was only wondering at the
uniformity of things down your way.
suppose the horses are all ponies and
the persimmons all dwarfs"-
'WeIl," interrupted Mr.. Freer, there
is one thing in our favor-the persim-
mon 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.
The speech which opened Mr.. Reeds
way to fame was short. 1t was deliv-
cred not long after he began his career
in congress. He had not up to that
time taken much part in debate, but
one day while he was making a some
what labored argument an older men,
Der tried to break him up by putting a
question to him suddenly and demand
ing an immediate answer. Reed gave
the answer readily. Then he paused,
turned toward the speakers desk and
drawled out;
"And now, having embalmed that fly
in the liquid amber of my remarks, l
will go on again"
The house roared. The galleries took
it up. The newspaper correspondents
sent it flying all over the country, and
to his own surprise more than any
one else's Reed found himself man of
note from that hour.
