A young Irishman had run up a small
bill at the village store, and went in to
pay it, first asking for a receipt. The pro-
prietOr grumbled and said il was too much
trouble to give receipts for such small
amounts. II was just as we'll to cross the

line across the book.

OH
cago, chairman of the naval af-
~ fairs committee Of the house, is
N a somewhat pOnderOus individual,
49, and some of his critics are dis"
posed to claim that he takes himself a trile
more seriously than is absolutely neces-
sary- They were discussing him one even
ing In the lobby Of one OF the Washington
hotels, and his colleague from Illinois,
Uncle Joe" Cannon, was appealed to for
an opinion.
WELL" said the next speaker of the
house, Floss is all right, but somehow he
always reminds me Of the prayer offered by
the negro preacher. The invocation began
this way: oh, thou mighty. alI-suficient,
self sufficient, inefficient God!"
J. T. Trowbridge tells this story OF Tleo-
dore Parker in the Atlantic Monthly:
Parker was one of the anti-slaVery lead
ers, one whose ability as a preacher gave
him something more than a local reputa-
tion, and carried the odium OF his name as
far as those OF Phillips and Garrison were
known and hated. How he was regarded
in South Carolina was illustrated by an
experience a Boston merchant once had at
Charleston. An excited crowd, gathering
around the hotel register, where he had
written his name, observed him with sus-
piciOus whisperings and threatening looks,

which became alarming, when the excited
landlord stepped up to him and said anx-
iously: Your name is Parker?' That is
my name, sir Theodore Parker Of Bos-
ton, the abolitionist?' oh, no, no, sir. l
am Theodore d.. Parker. a very different
man! The landlord heaved a sign OF re-
lief. I am glad to hear it, he said. And
allow me to give you a bet of wholesome
advice: When you are registering your
name in southern hotels, write the ID"

Captain Joe" Pierce of Tennessee was
one Of the important adjuncts of the dem
ocratic congressional headquarters in the
last campaign, relates the Washington
Post. One evening as Senator Carmack was
entering the elevator to go to his room at
his hotel someone said:
Senator. nave you seen anything of
Captain Pierce this EVENING"" Carmack
was in a hurry and replied in all offhand
way: "Oh, Pierce 10 dead"
The colored elevator boy heard this and
told the next friend Of Pierce's thai came
along that the captain had crossed the gale.
That friend told the next Tennessee man
he met. and so the story went the rounds.
Early next morning Senator Carmack's tel
ephone rang.
