Drinking JOb Filled,

Every man to his job was the motto of Captain Evan P. Howell, of Atlanta, Ga., when he was editor of The Con- stitution,'' said a Washington news paper writer who did his early work on that journal. 'I will never forget the calldown the captain gave me one day when I had shown up considerably the worse for three days Indian fighting expedition. He called me into his den and read the riot act in this way:
 Been on anothSr bat, eh? Now, boy I just want to say to you that this joint Is run on systematic principles. There is a job for every man, and every man must stick to his job Bill Hemphil does the praying. Henry Grady the scheming, and, by gad. sir, do the drinking for the whole outfit. I am not ready yet to turn this job over to you or any other member of the force. Il you can't leg 1t around town here and write your stuff without drinking, then you had best throw up your job before requested to do so.'
 I didn't give the captain an opportunl ty to jump all over me again, but l lei him go ahead and fill his own job"

The Rnin. of Monday.

Yesterdays reports to the Weather Bureau show that the rains of Monday night and yesterday morning were quite general over Middle and Southern Alabama. over the section where drought of several weeks duration had prevailed. The rainfalls varied from 152 inch at Thomasville and from ar inch to one and one-third inch over other middle counties to three-fourthS of an inch at Mobile and one-haf of ar inch at Eufaula, leaving only few counties along the Florida line, where good showers were not received.
 These rains were of almost incalcula- ble benefit to the crops, particularly cotton. which, through lack of mois' ture, was at a critical stage, The rains have started moderate rises in the Ala bama River, which has been unusually low for the season.

Marchnnd's Career in the French Army
 Has Expired.

Paris, May I..--~oIonel Marchand' s career in the French army closed at noon today when his period of arrest for publicly criticislSg his superiors expired and the official acceptance Of his reslgna- tion was handed 10 nim. In an interview he said he would give out a statement answering the falsehoods of the military authorities"
 The colonel maintains 1t was Emperor Nicholas who desired him to accompany the Russian forces in the Far East and says he will willingly give up the gold lace of dress parades" and is ready to surrender his decorations if desired. However, if war breaks out, France can count on his devotion and life.
 In the meantime. Marchand intends to take up an active career. He does not specify his future plans, but his use of the words active career" appears to indicate his intention of entering politics | or offering his services to Russia.

whipping Post fir Washington

A quiet ettort has been made to au- thorize the establishment of the whip ping post in Washington for the punish ment of wife beaters and petty offenders, Major Sylvester is convinced the whip ping post would result in much good in the way of reforming the worthless and in reducing the heavy expense of caring for those who had as soon be in the workhouse or jail as at their homes.
 OnA of the advocates of the measure, a Representative from New York State, in speaking of the matter said:
 If whipping posts were authorized throughout the States 1t would be well. Many years ago when Judge Cole pre- sided in the police court at Albany a viIlainous specimen of humanity was be- fore him, charged with having brutally whipped his wife. The evidence showed the most hesrtless cruelty on the part of this wretch who had promised to love and protect the woman whom he made hiI wife.
 Tho prisoner asked to be permitted to make a statement, which request was granted ard he began by saying tha' all he wished was justice Judge Cole who felt thoroughly outraged, stopped him with
 " You clearly-proven brute! You can get justice here, sir, for this court ha no power to hang you.

0Of Course He Died."

A farewell story by Representative Robinson of Indiana was this:
 Good old Dr. Richard Johnson, of my State, was in the habit of interspersng g his conversation with of course. He'd bring of course in with great frequency, but he was finally cured of the habit by a funny thing he said in court, where he had been called to explain some &C., counts which were being gone over in the settlement of an estate-one of his patients who had died.
 ''The doctor was in a hurry-always was-and talked very rapidly, never thinking that he lost a good deal of time by throwing in his of course.S He began explaining to the court, by saying, If the court will look over this bill you will find that MT. Smith was taken sick, and of course he sent for me to visit him professionally, of course l did visit him. sir, of course. and found him in a very dangerous condition. I pre- scribed for him, of course, and this Is the prescription, or the bill for the pre- scription, of course. which he took. And of course he died.
 The good old doctor was rigged so unmercifully about his and of course he died that he never used 1t again. When talking to him after that if any one said of course his face would flush and his anger could be easily detected

LlncoIu's Joke.

"I drove out to Soldiers Home the other afternoon said a Representative from Pennsylvania. and was greatly en- tertained by an old soldier who showed me through the Anderson house, the building which was used by President Lincoln as a summer home.
 The old fellow told me also laugha- ble joke the President. played on one of the foreign ministers who accompanied him one day to the home. It was in the early fall before there had been any frost, and the persimmons-which were then plentiful in that locality-had not been ripened by the frost. The foreign minister spoke to Mir. Lincoln about this beautiful fruit and expressed wish to try it, asking the name.
 That, said Mir. Lincoln, Is the great American 'Wrongsideout," a most de- Hghtful fruit, which must be eaten quickly In order to enjoy its most excel lent flavor
 "The coachman was instructed to drive under one of the trees, and Mir. Lincoln pulled off a couple of the not half-ripe persimmons. Handing one of them to the minister, hc said:
 Now. sir, eat 1t just as fast as you can.'
 'The foreign minister bit the thing. and immediately began to make ugly noises with his mouth, which was almost drawn double MT. Lincoln leaned back In the carriage, and laughed heartily"

Fenr the Lord,


 One of the best cloakroom yarns Of the session of Congress just closed was told by Representative Davey of Louis lana. He related that in West Felict- ana parish there was a man named Gun nels who had been rather careless in the manner in which he had brought up his sons, the boys being regular neighbor- hood terrors, and eternally in some ugly scrape.
 One day Parson Bloom, an aged Bap- tist minister. who appeared to have the reformation of the Gunnels boys on his mind, sought the old gentleman and made strong and affecting appeal to him to bring the boys to the right way of living lest they wind up with ropes around their necks.
 Brother Gunnels.' said the old min ister, I fear that your boys have not been brought up in the fear of the Lord
 "'Fear of the Lord. parson,' exclaim- ed Gunnels. Fear of the word, sir; why. those internal boys are so afraid of the Lord that they dare not go out even on Sundays without a brace of pistols. They are hell-bent and nothing will save them except the rope.

 Well, those are powerful likely trees answered the judge. and Began ought to have got not less than seventy five pounds
