1t is reported that Senator Bev-

mittee on foreign relations, made a
protest to Senator Plat and others Of
the managing combine Of the senate.
An attempt was made to mollify him
by telling him that he had been placed

could watch Senator Mason and keep
him from pulling the wool over the

The Unready Seeker.

A Georgia darky went out to an old
field to "seek and pray"
It was dusk, and he knelt down and
put up a long petition that the angels
would come and minister unto him.
Presently he heard tapping as of
wings behind him, and in a second he
was making race-horse time on the
home road, where he jumped into bed
and covered his head from sight.
Suddenly there was loud knocking
at the door. and his startled wife
cried:
"John, get up dar, fer de Lawd's
sake! De angels you have been seek
in is come fer you'll"
Lem stay dar," was the trembling
answer. "Tell IN thoo de keyhole dat

The government printing office has
a new employee in the person of an old
colored man from Quantico creek,
who sweeps the floors and does all
sorts of chores about the big print
shop. And thereby hangs tale which
sounds more like the narrative of the
doings of Haroun- al-Raschid than
those of latter day ruler.
President Roosevelt and DR.. Rixey
were down in the woods along QUAINT
co creek for a days shooting a few
weeks ago, when they encountered a
venerable old colored man, of whom
they inquired as to the haunts of wild
turkeys in the neighborhood. The old
negro declared that there ''wuz
whole heap of 'em around dis place"
but warned them not to shoot the first
bird that appeared, as this would
scare away the flock and cut short the
sport.
The president and DR.. Rixey, with
their dusky guide, stationed them
selves behind some blinds which the
latter had erected for his own use and

But the president could not resist the
temptation and blazed away at such
close range that the bird was almost
blown to pieces, while the coming
flock scampered away into the thick
woods.
"Unm- m-mumphnh, now see what

President Roosevelt was so impress
ed with the old negro's foresight that
he thought to test him along other
lines and found the old fellow quite
intelligent.
''How would you like to work for the
government" the president continued.
''Now yo' shoutin' in earnes, man.
I'ze been wantin' toe get in de guv'
ment nigh untoe fo' yeahs. Is yo' one
OBJ dem guv'ment 'ployeesw
The president managed to keep a
straight face and to tell the old man
that he was one ''guv'ment 'ployee''
who had more bosses than all the rest.
The sequel Of the story is that the
old negro is now working in the gov
eminent printing office as a general
utility man at $50 month.
Representative Rupert has a con-
stituency which has no particular need
of garden seeds, but he gets an allot-
ment just as do the representatives
from the rural districts. He has a
friend in New York who owns a model
tenement house, and a month or so
ago Mr.. Rupert instructed his secre-
tary to send some seeds to the people
who live in the model tenement. He
has just received this letter: For the
love Of the board of health, quit send
ing those garden seeds into this dis
trict. Half the tenants in my model
house have filed their porcelain lined
bathtubs with soil and have started
model truck farms with the seeds you

After serving two terms he returned
to the ministry, taking up the work of
an itinerant, and travelled more than a
million miles, visiting every state in
the Union except Florida.
In 1885 he was prevailed upon to re-
turn to Washington, serving as@chap-
lain of the house until 1893, when he
was invited across the hall to perform
the same duty for the senate, where
he is likely to remain until the end of
his days. The veteran minister has
been blind since he was five years old
and has been in the ministry almost
sixty years. His daily journey on foot
to and from the capitol, attended by
one or both of his devoted daughters,
is a familiar scene on Pennsylvania
avenue.
Those who see Associate Justice
Gray of the supreme court sitting sol

eral, was making an argument before

ing the locality in which the land in
dispute was situated and held it up
for the inspection of the court. 1t was

marked, "Mr. Attorney General, l re-

1t is not an uncommon thing for Rear
Admiral Walker, who is a great dog
fancier, to receive visits during office
hours from several of the younger dogs
he owns, who are not as faithful as the
old fellow, but who now and again call
upon their master. The Office of the
commission is situated in a downtown
building, on the fourth floor. The ele-
vatOr man knows the rear admiral's
dogs and when they arrive he lets
them enter the elevator and puts them
off on the fourth floor. They go in and
wag their tails at their master, but
soon leave after having received pat
on the head and a quiet talk in the dog

mastered after years of study. Any one
