"Somc years ago General Brooke was

covered the military and one day this
young man had a few words with officers
at Fort Omaha because he was refused
information about a court-martial.
General Brooke heard of this and
when the reporter came into his office,
asked about it. The reporter exclaimed,

daughter, Naomi, is the most engaging
dignified and dutiful little girl OF eleven
ever seen in that part of the city across
the creek. So she has been taken by her
mother to call on a great many older per-
sons and has made the acquaintance Of
numerous boys Of fifteen or thereabouts.
Not long ago one Of these boys came to see
his friends mother very formally and sat
and talked with her until the tensity Of a
formal call nearly burst his jacket. Then
he arose with q polite bow and asked for q

The mother was greatly mystifed. She
concluded after q while that the boy had
photographed her little girl on the sly, and
in order to find out she sent him word she
would make the exchange.

NAMED HIMSELF,
How Mr.. Payne Managed to Get on a
Committee.

How much embarrassment a very small
deviation from the customary paths Of
procedure can cause the one who makes 1t
on the floor Of the House Of Representa-
tives was illustrated one morning this week
when Mr.. Payne Of New York, republican
floor leader and chairman Of the ways and
means committee, undertook to secure the
appointment Of conference committee on
a bill which the Senate had passed with
slight amendments over the provision as
1t passed the House.
To those who do not know the method
pursued in the appointment Of conference
committees, the versatility Of the Speaker
In selecting such committees is usually sur
priSing. All is easy, however, when the
chairman Of the committee from which the
bill comes complies with the practice. He
simply pins little slip Of paper to the
document on which Is written the names Of
the members he desires appointed and the
Speaker in announcing the committee reads
these names, of which the chairman himself
heads the list.
In the case in question Mr.. Payne for
got to prepare his little slip. and after he
had secured the unanimous consent the
Speaker suddenly noticed the lapse on the
part of the gentleman from New York"
and with twinkle In his eye he very dis
tinctly questioned "Who would the genfie-
man from New York like appointed on that

Payne's broad countenance. He glanced
hurriedly around at his colleagues, and
the merriment he saw on their faces only
produced another blush. 1t was up to-
Mr.. Payne to name himself as the head
Of the conference committee. He Uttered
an audible "ah." and stopped again. BY
this time all the old hands at legislation on
the floor were enjoying Mr.. Payne's d.
lemma, and hush spread over the oham-
her Mr. Payne made a bold plunge to
have 1t over, and haltingly and blushingly
pronounced the words: II suppose 1t ought
to be the chairman of the committee. ana
Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.. Richardson
At this point the smile became audible
around Mr.. Payne, and the Speaker. who
was also enjoying the joke announced In
ringing voice, "The chair appoints MIR.
Payne, Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.. Richardson"
After Mr. Payne had received the mock
congratulations Of dozen or so members.
he hastened to the official stenogra pher and
whispered instructions that nothing un-
usual be made to appear in the Record.
