Joseph II. Choate told story at 9
banquet. Chauncey M. Depew arrived
late and in his turn told the same
story. He did not understand the pre-.
mature laughter and the lack of tn.
multi when he concluded and asked his
neighbor what was the matter. "You
told Joe Choate's story five minutes
after he had finished it." Mr.. Depew
laughed. "Choate's story?" he said
''Why, Adam told that to the snake at
their first meeting. / knew Choate
would tell it, but thought he followed
me-"
Senator Hoar, OF Massachusetts, says
the finest compliment he ever received
was the remark made by juryman
many yearsago. Mr.. Hoar was attorney
in case tried before 81 good men and
true in Massachusetts court. After
the verdict had been returned one Of
the jurymen gave this as his reason for
voting as he did: esquire Hoar told us
it was right and just" The senior SEN
ator from the Bay state is quoted as
saying that he would rather have
earned such tribute of homely con-
idence as that than all the panegyrics
which biographers have bestowed
upon famous advocates.
While in congress Private" John
Allen, of Mississippi, could hardly be
induced to give serious answer to
serious question. The older members
knew this and seldom went to the
southern wit for information, but new
men often came to grief by doing so.
Shortly after Mr.. Littlefield, Of Maine.
had taken his seat after his first term
he wanted some figures in a hurry.
Turning to Mr.. Allen, he said: "Par-
don me, sir, but you were at Gettys-
burg; can you tell me how many fed
eral soldiers were killed outright
there?" 81 am very sorry, very sorry.

PATS FIRST THOUGHT.


Back in the good old days when
nerves and railroads were little KNOW
an old stage road ran from Lake
Champlain to Ogdensburg, N. T. pass
ing through the little town OF Soooln
This village nestled in valley between
two great hills, over which the WHITE
ribbon of the road wound steeply, says
Lippincott's. 49,.
| Upon one OF the trips OF the stage
the regular driver, who had Deen =
home for some weeks recovering IRON
IN illness, was riding inside while ms
red haired, mild-featured, blg-ooneu
Irishman acting as his substitute occu-
pied the drivers seat upon the Do4'
The day was beautiful one ana the
passengers were enjoying their drive
keenly, their appetities increasing as
the distance lessened between tneu'
and the town OF Sodom with its prom
ised pause for Refreshments.
Suddenly, as the heavy stage lu"-
bered ever the brow of the hill, down
which the road plunged at sharp
angle, running through the little town
at its foot and ascending the hill be-
yond, the passengers became conscious
that their pace had been recklessly IN
creased. Faster and faster they WENT
dashing down the hill at rate rapidly
becoming a furious one. Trees ana
bushes at last became but a dizzylng
blur along the road. All chung to the
Keeling stage and held their breath IN
TERROR, while on the stage raced, down
the hill with ever-increasing speed, into
the town, past the hosiery with the
waiting host left standing In amaze
at the door, past the post office with
out pause, and out upon the road lead
ing up the face Of the hill beyond.
There the pace slackened, and as the IN
cline grew more steep, at last the
smoking horses came to standstlu.,
With one accord the dazed passengers
tumbled out and surrounded the driv-
er, who now stood at the head OF HIS
reeking leaders.
''What is it, Pat? What is it? Did
they get away from you?' came the
questions.
Nope replied Pat with set face.
'it wor that" pointing grim1y before
him. There lay the stage-tongue
dragging uselessly on the ground at
the heels of the horses. and completely
severed from the coach. At a glance
the regular driver 'comprehended the
ofzthe danger to which the
of that stage, deprived OF
its sole means of guidance, had been
exposed, and, realizing the miracle OF
their escape, he turned sick and tainted
where he stood.
Later, back at the inn, when the ex-
element had somewhat subsidized and
fresh horses were being put to the re-
paired coach, someone turned to Pat
and asked:
"fat, what was your first thought
when the pole dropped?"
'eyYell, sor," he answered, settling
The auid more comfortably in his
,heek, "me furst thought wor, Lord.
Ia mercy on our sowls!' Thin thinks
to myself. De- horse that can't

ing was done by woman who works
by the day. After supper the lady
of the house discovered that half Of
it was still hanging on the line, the
other half being in the tubs. With
the assistance Of son, she took
in the washing from the line and
spent an hour wringing out the
clothes in the basement, while three
strong women rested themselves in
their rooms, reading novels.

it, when help is 80 scarce?'' said she.

PARADISE OF OLD WOMEN.
West Indies and South Amer,c. Have
Many Who Have Passed the
Century Mark.

Women live to a greater age in
the tropical countries than they do
in temperate chimes. The torrid zone
appears to suit them. They are less
liable to tropical diseases than men
are, and as a rule they live longer.
In the West Indies and South
America women centenarians are too
common to be noticed. Rider Hag-
CARDS Gagool might be duplicated a
thousand times over in those regions.
Many old negresses alive to-day in
Jamaica and Trinidad were mothers
Of families when they were emanci-
pated from slavery by Queen Vic
toria 65 years ago.
One old woman in Barbados has
celebrated the coronations of four
British sovereigns, beginning with
George ~. She fully expects to cell
citrate another, for, as she SAYS,
cheerfully, she is ''only &c."
In Colombia and Venezuela one NAV
find many old women who wildly
remember the struggle of Bolivar,
the South American Washington, to
free those countries from the Span
ish yoke in the beginning of the last
century. In Hayti there dwells an
aged mu1atto woman who asserts,
probably with truth, that Toussaint
L'Ouverture was her godfather.
Very old women are exceedingly
common among all jewellers in the
tropics, whether they be white, vel
low, brown or black.

Ike most disputes the Harrison
l. Peyton "feud' started over q tri-
vial matter. Squire Harrison claimed
possession of little neck of land
which jutted out into the Mississippi.
Old Archibald Peyton said the neck Of
land in question belonged to him. The
Mississippi is SO constantly shifting its
banks that boundaries are confused
and it was hard to tell which was in the
right. The courts finally decided that
the land belonged to Archibald Peyton.
And OF course irascible Squire Harri-
son vowed vengeance and declared that
all intercourse between the Harrison
and Peyton families must cease. Arch
ibald Peyton was more than willing it
should.

! WHOLESOME SALADS.
nules for the Guidance Of Those Tn.
initiated Into the Art Of Pre-
pairing Them.

To dress a salad, put the lettuce
chicory or whatever vegetable is to be
used, perfectly washed, dried, chilled
and with each leaf separated, into q
salad bowl large enough to hold it
without bruising the crisp leaflets. It
large glass bowl can be provided It
adds much to the beauty of salad,
says Good Housekeeping. Serve on q
silver tray with the oil and vinegar
cruets, salt and pepper and salad
fork and spoon.
Always remember one rule; the oil
must be poured first on the salad. If
the leaves are first wet with the vine
gar, the oil will not adhere but run to
the bottom Of the bowl, making salad
which tastes only Of vinegar, pepper
and salt. For this same reason the let
tuce must be perfectly dry; if wet the
oil wil not coat it properly Set the
lettuce or chickory in bowl looking
as Il the head were still entire but with
each leaf separated. Hold a salad spoon
over tie bowl; into it shake some pep
per and salt, then fill the spoon with
oil. Allow this to sprinkle over the let
tuce:: toss the leaves lightly till they
shine. add two more tablespoonfuls
of oil. tossing again with gentle hand-
ling. Run the spoon and fork down the
sides of the dish and lift the salad with
an upward movement, letting it mix as
it falls back. Afterward, sprinkle with
two taElespoonfuls of vinegar, then
serve. The proportions of oil and vine-
gar may be varied to suit the taste.
-Four parts OF oil to one Of vinegar
is liked by lovers of oil.
A very delicate flavor may be impart-
ed to al plain green salad by rubbing
the inside Of the salad bowl with half
cut onion or sprinkling the lettuce
with finely cut chives.. If the faintest
possible! flavor Of garlic is liked make
what the French call chapon. Rub
cut garlic over cube of stale bread
and toss it with the salad while dress
ng it.

The fat cattle market is pretty much

first half of last week, although the

until Thursday there had been close to
a 10 a 15c advance on desirable
beeves. There did not appear to be
any urgency to the demand from any
quarter, and on Friday, with only a
moderate run, the market broke fully
a dime on the general run of beef

advance of the first half of the week.
