While in Maine. last summer the
President invited the old guide to join

visit Washington in February, and it
was promptly accepted.
The most important feature of the

JOKE ON SENATOR HoAR.

Observation-Disclosures.

Example Of Massachusetts Statesman's
Observation-Disclosures.
Senator Hoar's absent-minded ex-
plot last week of securing the passage
by the senate of a measure that had
already become law recalls the story
of the senator, which is sometimes told
in these parts. He was at a private
dinner attended by a number of public
men and citizens. One of the guests
had just finished an anecdote, and the
laugh had scarcely subsidized when Mr..
Hoar started in, saying that reminded
him of something, and told over again
the same story that the company had
just listened to. Mr. Hoar's telling
was naturally a great success, for
everyone realized at once that he had
been thinking of other matters when
the story was being told the first time,
but had caught barely enough of the
thing to be reminded of the anecdote
as it lay in the recesses of his own
mind.-Springfeld Republican.

her bent over her pleading for it. She
took it out, touched it softly with her

both laughed happily.
The sun of Ascension Day rose
brightly over st. Pierre. People went
early to devotions in the old cathe-
