NEW SHORT STORIES.
MIR. Reeds suggestion.

A territorial delegate from the south
west who occupied. hotel rooms close
to those of Mr.. Reed during the latter,s
last year in congress was well liked
by the late speaker. for his sterling
rough diamond qualities. This, terri
togfal delegate sidestepped and bueked
for several years before he could be
brought to the wearing of evening
clothes. He wasn't opposed to the dress
suit on principle, like certain young
statesman from Texas, but when his
friends suggested the desirability OF
evening togs to him he always told
them that he was afraid he would feel
like fool in the things.
Mr.. Reed and this territorial dele
gate We're both invited to a club din
ner, and they arranged to go to the
affair together from the hotel. On the
night of the club dinner about half an
hour before the two men were to start
the delegate, looking sheepish, hang
dog and guilty way down to the
ground, appeared in Mr.. Reeds den.
He wore an evening suit. 1t was a
bulgy, hand me down looking outfit,
but it was an evening suit all the
same. Mr.. Reeds eyes twinkled when
he saw the suit, but he didn't say any
thing The delegate twitched around
Mr.. Reeds den nervously, rubbering ut
the speaker out of the corner of his
eye to see what kind of hit the dress
togs were making and having horrible
difficulty with his unoccupied hands.
Mr.. Reed, his eyes twinkling all the
time, nevertheless remained mute, and
his silence got the Delegates nerves
all a-jingling. and, getting up and fac
ing the speaker, lie blurted out:
"Confound it ali. Tom, how do you
like this suit?"
ITS first rate" drawled Mr.. Reed.
"Why don't you buy One?"

Colonel Was His butcher.

AS General Plumer has just got a
well merited step to major general
ship there is no reason why l should

engaged in putting down the rebellion
in Matabeleland in 1896, the defense of
Bulawayo was in the hands of the Blu
iawayo field force, and the commander
of that force, who had taken up sol
dfering for the time being, was in the
days of peace a butcher. The COM
mandant one night when going his
rounds came plump against sentry
who was smoking, and then came this
conversation:
what do you mean by smoking,
sir?" asked the commandant sternly.
