hour or so when he has been very

She wasn't just in the mood, SO she

The agricultural appropriation
bill was before the house. Repre-
sentative Rixey of Virginia was adj
vocating an increase from $4,000
to $4,000 for the experimental
farm owned by the government at
Arlington. He said the small
amount allowed was not enough to
produce substantial results.
Representative Wadsworth, in
charge Of the bill, pointed out that
$4,000 was appropriated for the
farm annually and that year after
year this mounted up and in time
would become formidable. "Rome
was not built in a day." he added
in conclusion.
"No," replied Mr.. Rixey; "Rome
was not built in day, and if Romu-
lus and Remus had been members OF
the committee on agriculture Rome
never would have been built. =

Squaring Accounts.

An office boy in London owed one
of the clerks three halfpence.
The clerk owed the cashier a pen
ny.
One day the boy, having a half
penny in his pocket, was disposed
to diminish his outstanding indebt-
edness and paid the clerk to whom
he was indebted one halfpenny on
account.
The clerk, animated by so lauda-
bic an example, paid one halfpenny
to the cashier to whom he was in
debted one penny.
The cashier, who owed the boy q
penny, paid him a halfpenny.
And now the boy, having his half
penny again in his hand, paid an
other third of his debt to the clerk.
The clerk with the said really
current" coin squared with the
cashier.
The cashier instantly paid the boy
in full.
And now the lad, with the half
penny again in his hand, paid off the
third and last installment of his
debt of three half pence.
Thus were the parties square all
round and all their accounts adjust
