When the late Congressman Cummings
was a Washington correspondent he re-
ceived the graphic orders to get some in
formation from Secretary Seward, but the
latter CURLY told the young man he could
not be bothered. Cummings drew himself
up and said very deliberately: "You seem
to forget, sir, that there are three parties
seeking this interview-you the secretary
Of state; the correspondent of the New
York Sun, who comes to you on a perfectly
proper errand, and an American citizen,
who considers himself the equal of any man
on earth, and who will not be insulted by
you or any other person" Mr., Seward
promptly invited him to sit down and gave
him all the Information he wished.
Back in the COS Governor Nye of Nevada
was an inveterate poker player. One time
while at Saltwater he was playing poker
in the presence Of Capsule, peace chief ot
the Piutes. Capsule asked the governor 4
play with him and the request was granted
The play was two bits ante and a dolla'
limit. The Indians capital was $40 ant
the governor, who cheated outrageously
soon won all the money. Capsule then pu
up his saddle, which quickly went with hi

cash. His blanket followed. His pony
was staked and lost. The governors face
wore a wicked smile. Governor, said the
Indian, "you got my money, my saddle,
my blanket and my pony; now | bet you my
squaw." The governors expression at once
became benevolent. "Capsue, he explained,
Il cannot take your wife-the p~aleface does
not indulge in double blessings Of this
variety: but if you will promise never 10
play poker again ! will give you back your
money and your property" Capsule was
delighted and always after that told the
story to illustrate what a great man was
Governor Nye.
Thirty years ago General Palma, now
president-elect of Cuba, hastily buried his
mother, a victim of Spanish cruelty IN an
obscure cemetery in Bayamo, with a wooden
cross to mark the spot. Last week, with
all tokens Of respect and love, he and his
friends disinterred the remains, paced them
in a stately tomb bearing a tablet with this
inscription: "Candelaria Palma, whose be-
loved son Tomas has returned after thirty
years and given her a Christian burial"
Cardinal Martinelli, who learned English
in Dublin, speaks it with the soft brogue
peculiar to that city. He saws that shortly
after his arrival in this country an old
woman called at the delegation upon some
matter Of minor importance and was granted
an audience with the affable apostolic dele
gate. Then she startled the people of
Washington by assuring them that the new
delegate was an Irishman. Indeed, then
he is Irish" she said, because heard him

Roosevelt, then colonel Of the Rougl

a slave, and a loyal, great-hearted, loving
worshiper of his master. Years went on
and the war continued. On one day an OIL
Ger bearing dispatches or going back ON
furlough stopped with General Hampton,
who learned that the man was going to Co.
lumbia:
Here, SAM" said he to his body servant,
you got married the day before you left
home, and it is now three years since you
have seen your Dinah. This gentleman is
him to take you along. Get ready, Sam,
you"
The servant cast his eyes on the ground
and great tears welled up into them.
Are you tired of me, Massa Hampton"
he said. why do you want to get rid of
me?"
The general again expressed his convic-
tion that Sam must want to see his wife.
and that this was a good chance.
well, then, ! don't go a step, massa,"
said the slave. Use a gwine to stay alone

What for, Sam? Don't be- foolish"

Sam died while the general was in the
United States senate, and his master, hav-
ing word OF the loss by telegraph, packed
his bag and went home to Columbia to walk
humbly behind the faithful servants body
at the funeral.

Sol Smith Russell used to tell Of three
little nieces Of whom he was very fond.
They lived in Kansas City and one after
noon he took the youngest tot for a walk.
He also bought her some candy, saying
she might have 1t when they reached home.
The child urged; Let's wun, Uncle SOL
but he pleaded that he was tired. Then the
little one pumped Town on her kneess on
the sidewalk and prayed: "Oh, bod, Please
make Uncle Sol wun." The actor thought,
"Well, it's a question of my losing my dig
nifty or OF her losing faith in God" And
so the pair ran as fast as they could.
But we walked together no more" he
used to add.

Mark Twain tells the following story in
the North American Review: "Once l was
received in private audience by an emperor.
Last week l was telling a jealous person
about 1t, and / could see him vince under

the whole episode to him with considerable
elaboration and nice attention to detail.
When l was through he asked me what
impressed me most. ! said: His maJesty's
d~elicacy. They told me to be sure and back
out from his presence and find the doorknob
the best l could do; it was not allowable
to face around. Now, the emperor knew it
would be a difficult ordeal for me, because
of lack of practice, and so, when 1t was
time to part, he turned, with exceeding
d~elicacy, and pretended to tumble with
things on his desk, so that l could get out
in my own way without his seeing me- He
struggled along inwardly for quite a while;
then he said, with the manner Of a person
who has to say something and hasn't any
thing relevant to say: You said he had a
handful Of special brand cigars lying on the
table?' Yes; l never saw anything to match
them l had him again, He had to tumble

The St. Johnsbury Caledonian gives

Mrs. E. H. Campbell died very sud-
denly at her home, Monday evening.
She had been to the store and on re-
turning upstairs dropped dead almost
instantly. She had been apparently in
her usual good healthy and her death
must have been caused by heart failure.
She was born at Highgate, as years ago
and about p years ago was married to
Mr.. Campbell, who with seven children
survive her. The children are Mrs.
Grace Simpson and Mrs. Lulu Twombly,
whose homes are both here, Eddie, Nina,
Andrew, Emerson and Clifton, who live
at home. She also leaves brother, E.
+. Sargent, of St. Johnsbury. The fu-
neral was held Wednesday, Rev. Mr..
McDougal officiating. Mrs. Campbell
was most kind and helpful neighbor,
always ready and willing to lend her
assistance when needed and a woman
who will be very greatly missed in the
community. She was also an active
member of the Grange. The family
have much sympathy from many
friends

cations are that the Legislature may

that there will be a contest over the

ably be made to fix the time for a
vote on the same later than January.

The Referendum.

There seems to be a growing feel
ing among the friends of prohibition
that the Clement wing of the Repub-
lican party, aided by their Demo
cratic allies, have over-reached the
the temperance wing of the party,
and that the much talked of referen-
dunn, wherein it was proposed to sub
nit the new license law to the people
for their acceptance or rejection, is in
reality no referendum at all.
The darby minister who said that
he would preach at the schoolhouse
in District No. II, the next Sabbath
ode Lord willin -, and two weeks
from tomorrow, "wedder or no, )"
fairly illustrates the existing condi-
tons at Montpelier at this time.
The bill, as it stands up to date,
provides that the people may vote
upon it next month, and if they vote
afirmatively the new license law goes
into effect next pril if they by their
votes say that the bill is not accepta-
BILE, the people will still have forced
upon them the unacceptable law, the
difference being only that it takes
effect in 1904 instead of 1903.
This new talk about the unconsti-
tutionality of the referendum is the
stumbling block over which lots of
good Republicans are falling. Why
not fix it so that in case the people
decline to approve the bill it shall
not become a law at all, or if so, let
it become so a hundred years hence?
1t is easy to say that another session
of the legislature willintervene before
Dec. /, 1904, and that in case the
people vote "No" on the referendum
in January, 1908, the legislature of
1904 can repeal the condemned law
and remove it from the statutes.
Is this true? Is it not rather true
that Bennington, Rutland, Chitten-
den and Washington counties will
always send twelve senators opposed
to the repeal of this new law and that
the immense influence of the liquor
interest will turn heaven and earth
to find somewhere the other four
senator's necessary to prevent the re-
peal of the law which this session of
the legislature proposes to fasten
upon us, whether the people want it
OF not?
The Republican party, it is true,
must keep faith with the people; but
Gov. Mccullough expounded the
referendum in his letter last summer
when he said that this matter should
be submitted to the people for their
acceptance or rejection. Did he cor
rectly express the sentiment of the
Republican party of Vermont when
he suggested that the bill should be
submitted to the people as well for
rejection as for acceptance? I'm
doubtedly he did. Place upon the
statutes the bill which is now before
the legislature, and which has prac-
tically passed both Houses, and the
temperance element of this genera
ton will work in vain for any repeal
thereof, whatever the vote of the
people may be on the referendum
