now, she wears a cover-all mackin-

worse than any thunder-plump that

Another woman in window makes
the astonished beholder believe she

Representatives Brownlow and Glib
son are the only Republicans in Con-
gress from Tennessee. To relieve
their loneliness they indulge in good
deal of good-natured banter. Brown
low took great care in selecting
persns in his district to stand civil
service examinations for positions,
and as luck would have it not a
single one failed toattain the requir-
ed grade. Gibson was not so lucky,
and not a single man from his dis
trict passed the examinations.
"How is this. Brownlow?" asked
Gibson. "All your men have passed
the examinations, while can't get a
single one through in my district"
ooh, that's easy" replied Brown
low. "If there was single man in
your district capable of passing civil
service examination you wouldn't be
in Congress"

Not Much Romance Connected With
the Divine Passion To-day.
A dreamer and a man of action
loved woman.
The dreamer said 81 shall write
verses in her praise they will touch
her vanity, and she will love me for
them"
But the man of action said How
old-fashioned. shall corner the stock
market, and that will bring her"
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he
induced a friend of his, who ran 10
cent magazine. to print them. And
the man of action cornered something
or other, and became a Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married a
man who inherited his money, and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud of his
verses that he didn't care, and the
man of action was so busy that he
didn't care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married. Smart Set.

Where the To-day Went.

Here is a characteristic story of
Captain, afterwards General George
Pickett, famous at Gettysburg. 1t
was at the time of the disputes be-
tween England and America as to the
boundary line between British Column
bia and Washington territory. Capt
Pickett had just mixed himself a
toddy, when his attention was arrest
ed suddenly by courier, whose mes
sage caused him to mount immediate
ly and ride off, leaving the drink be-
hind him. He was gone some hours.
When he returned the empty glass
was on his camp table, whereupon en-
sued the following colloquy:
Orderly"
Eyes, sir"
where's that toddy?"
Threw it away, sir; thought you
had done with it, sir"
Where did you throw it; down
your throat?"
Eyes, sir; down my - throat,
sir" accompanied by regulation sa-
lute.-Pittsburg Gazette.

Repaired the Church Roof But it All
Came Back.
The. following story is told of an
American who visited an old Eng
fish church and struck up converse
ton with the rector. The two went
up to the roof for the sake of the view
and the rector pointed out how badly
in need of repair were the leads;
going on to talk in hopeless way of
the poverty of the parish.
The American rubbed his chin and
then offered to put on a new roof at
his own expense. The delighted rec
tor closed with the offer. The Ameri-
can was as good as his word, and
when on the completion of the work
the rector thanked him effusively, he
quietly confessed to having made a
very respectable profit out of his
Charitable" work.
The rector asked for an explana-
tion and then the American informed
him that there is a certain amount
Of silver in lead, which was now ex-
tracted, but in old times it was left
because its presence in the lead was
not suspected. The quantity of the
silver in the lead on the church roof
was sufficient to pay all expenses and
to give the American a tangible profit.
