The subject came up in Sunday
School, last Sunday, of Children's

to committee. The school should
make this one of pleasure to the lit

The Defendants pleading.

In a rural district in the west of Eng
land there lived an eccentric old farm
err who was continually appearing be-
fore the magistrates for allowing his
cattle to stray on the highway.
During the hearing of his case for a
similar offense upon the last occasion
he elected much laughter from the pre-
siding gentlemen on the bench" and
others.
The chairman. addressing the defend
ant, asked:
do you plead guilty or not guilty?"
"Well, yer 'onor, expects as l be
guilty. But don't be too hard on a
reg'lar customer."-Tit-B Bits.

John Randolph.

The most fragrant bit of diplomatic
jobbery in the history of the United
States was perpetrated by that Virginia
scapegrace, John Randolph of Roanoke.
Randolph was appointed minister to
Russia in 1880. He sailed for his post
in June of that year, but remained
there only ten days, and then departed
suddenly for England, where he, raised
high jinks for nearly a year, after
which, returning home in October.
1881, he drew $21, 4O7 from the treasu-
ny, with which he paid off some of his
old private debts.-New York Press.

There is probably no situation easier

is ill or feels unable to perform them.

And Mr.. Aldrich had checked the
horse enough to depart.
1t was cold. with a driving mist,
several evenings later.
"Poor Bess!' she said to the painting
horse. "Tired, aren't you?"

the road, running YEARLY, as though

''iSow, go, Bess.' she cried as she
sprang into the buggy.
AS she approached the little town she
could hear swelling din of discordant
voices. She dashed through an alley
and came out in the street in front of
the shafthouse. The women were
sweeping around the corner just below

tossing arms and distorted faces held

brown eyes frightened mischievously,

She fairly hurled the word at her,
and Dilsey received it with moan of
terror.

IT E SNALLE5T MEMBERS.
Two Representatives In the House Who Are the Most Diminutive
 of Statesmen.

The baby member of the house is Representative Lever, of South Caro- lima. He is only 27 years old, and of the late Representative Stokes, and when the latter died was voted by a grateful constituency into the va cant seat, states the Washington Post.
 Every day at 11:45 o'clock Bert Kennedy, assistant doorkeeper, warns all persons not entitled to the floor to vacate, ''the rules of the house re- quiring the same.'' For three days Kennedy saw a small boy sitting at a desk and coolly disregarding the off cial summons to retire. He threw his piping, penetrating voice in the direction of the lad, but without eff feet. On the third day Kennedy told his troubles to Amos Cummings.
 If that boy don't get out of here before F o'clock I'll throw him out, 7 said Kennedy.
 What boy?" asked Cummings.
 Sitting over there,'' replied Ken nedy, pointing in Levers direction.
 T wouldn't throw him out" said Cummings.
 Why not?' inquired Kennedy.
 ''Because,'' remarked Cummings. you might lose your job. He's a member of the house.
 Kennedy didn't say word, and representative Lever remained undis- turbed.
 Speaking of little men, the new congressman from New York who de- feated Perry Belmont could be hid- den away in a gripsacl1.
 Viewed from the gallery, Mr. Less Ter seems like blade of grass. He is certainly less than five feet high, weighs about 60 pounds. and his arms are like pipe stems. He wears boys shoes and boys hat. Under his hat, however, are brains entirely out of proportion to his size. Every body agrees that he has plenty of ability.
