Mr.. Redmond played his part in the

Mr. Redmond played his part in the
little ambuscade with great adroitness
and skill. When he got up from the
empty benches around him he spoke
as though he just wished to make a.
formal protest against what he con-
sidered an act Of unfairness on the
part Of the government, and his lang
uage was brief and almost perfume
tory. He evidently managed to convey
to Mr.. Wyndham and to the whips the
idea that suited his purpose-namely,
that there was nothing serious on hand
and that he and his friends meant no
mischief. Mr.. Wyndham at once fell
into the trap. He assumed that all
that Mr.. Redmond required was some
kind of pledge which would make
things more satisfactory at another
epoch. And Mr.. Wyndham made Il
few pleasant and honeyed observations
which, in ordinary circumstances
would have been quite enough to have
prevented division. Mr.. Redmond
got up again, and, still in studiously
casual and perfunctory style, made Il
mild protest against the action of the
government, and then suddenly, but
very quietly, made the announcement
that he would have to go to a division.
Mr. Wyndham saw, too late prob

been easy for him to have passed an
other ten minutes or quarter of an
hour in a more elaborate answer, and
by that time the forces of the govern
ment would have been in the house,
| and he would have been secure of his
majority. But he sat down after his
few hOneyed words, and thus before
| anybody knew what was to befall, the
division was called, and the division
bells were ringing all over the house.
The division bells in the house of
commons are like the knell of doom.
After they have once begun to ring
| everybody is silenccd; the fatal hour
has come; no human power can give a
moments respite. And thus it was
that, while Tory members We're rush
ing in cabs to the house, while soon
after they were beating their hands
against the doors closed against them,
while few minutes later they were in
force able to beat all comers, it was
then all too late. The Irish coup had
told; the government were in a mi
nority; and that is how governments
are beaten--and broken-in the house
| of commons.

who cannot make something out Of q
man they marry if they only half try.
The making Of man lies with wo-
man and story comes to my mind
that puts the idea most aptly.
There is among my parishioners an
lrlshman Of the old school who, with.
in the past ten years has accumulated
slathers of money. I'll call him con.
tractor.
Il remember when he and his wife
came to me to be married. He was
earning only IS per week and he was
not filled with over much ambition.
His wife had no more education
than he and the pair of them passed
out of my mind for several years until
one day L ran across the man and he
told me that he had gone into bust
ness on his own account. A little while
later | met the wife and she said that
there was no use in Pat working for
another man when he could work for
himself just as well. She had taken
every cent of his earnings and kept ut
MIN until she got him started.
"Only few nights ago I called at
the house of Pat and found him deep
in the blues. His wife was sitting in
corner dressed in silks looking yery
uncomfortable, but very shrewd.
II asked Pat what the matter was
and he said that business was going to
the devil; that he had made only SGO,-
OOO last year and that CORPORATIONS
and syndicates were crushing indi.
viduals He went on in that strain
until his wife finally spoke up.
Look here, Pat said she, you'll
be after starting a corporation of YOUR
own and beating them at their own
game, I'll be your syndicnte.'
"1f I were married and woman
spoke to me in the tone that PATS
| wife used, I'd sweat blood, but I'd
beat the other man and win."

STRICKEN DUMB.
while Defying the Almighty, Man Loses
Hearing and Speech.

"A fearful result of blasphemy was
witnessed in Chicago last week. Julion
kcnfro was stricken dumb Immediately
after daring God to prove His existence
ny visiting these afllictions upon him.
Rcnfro is a southcrncr, coming from
Shreveport, La. lie roomcd with Ed
ward La Crosse, j. w. Burke and !. Tn
Crosse, all of whom are dcyout Cath
ol1cs. Rcnfro scotfed at their belief.
lie went to their church with them and
listened to the services. The priests
at the Holy Name Cathedral talked TO
him at the request of his roommntes.
but without avail
Il am practical man and 1 have
come here to study medicine" said
kenfro. IL do not believe in that
which I do not see and which is not
demonstrated to me conclusively."
Tuesday night the four young men
engaged in game Of cards in their
rooms. When they had tired of the
sport and were about to retire, the old
discussion arose.
"1f there is God let him show me-"
laughed Rcnfro. "Let him strike me
dead. No, l will not ask so great a
proof, for 1 would not live to demon
strate His existence. Let him make
me deaf and dumb. Then I will be-
licvc"
A. moment later Renfro fell to the
floor. DR.. O. G. Draper was called,
and he found that Renfro had lost the
power of speech and hearing. Flc
holds, as do some of his brother physi-
cians, that it was but a coincidence,
but the three roommates and north
side ministers say that it was the di-
vine manifestation.

The Latin for Coda gentleman

The Latin for Coda gentleman
employed a car from Bawnsboy sta
ton to Swanlinbar one very frosty
night last winter, and on their way
remarked to the jarvey as the frost
was entering their finger ends: "It's
a very cold night, jarvey."
"It is, yer hammer"
"Now," says the gentleman, "do you
think you could tell me the Latin for
cold!"
"The Latin for cOwld is it? Well.
disremember it just now, though l
have it just at my fingers ends this
mint" replied the jarvey.

Another good time for snap division
would be between nine and ten o'clock
at night. 1t. would then be the mo-
!, ne ment when most memhersssWere still
lingering over their dinners, and if
party were in full force ON the other
side, they would be pretty sure Of hav-
ing the majority.
But even yet the chances Of beating
government are not great Some
other precautions are necessary to
make the thing sure. And the first of
these precautions is to use the devices
which cover your own strength and
decisive the enemy as to the real pro-
portions between their forces and
yours. This is not an easy thing to do
in the house Of commons, for the ar
rangements are elaborate for keeping
the government whips we'll Informed
from hour to hour and even from mo-
ment to moment as to the exact num-
bers of the different parties. In the
first place, there are the whips them
selves. Two of them are nearly al
ways posted at the door leading into
the lobby through which every men,
Der, as rule passes, or by which ev-
cry member, as rule, goes out. In
| addition to the whips, there is whole
corps of attendants who watch men,
bers as they enter and leave These
| attendants have in their hand printed
lists Of the members; and they tick off
the names Of members as they enter
and leave. They are the eyes and ears
Of the whips; they keep full and con-
slant count Of the temperature Of the
house; and they ought to be able to
tell the exact number of members in
| every part Of the house. Armed with
| this information the whips usually are
able to tell to within one or two what
will be the number if a division be
| taken.
But here it is that the arts of par
liamentary strategy come into play.
I have spoken of that door which leads
into the center lobby. 1t is quite true,
as 1 have said, that this is the door
through which nearly every member of
the house enters and by which he
leaves. 1t is the most convenient way
of entering; and member would hove
to depart from his usual. habits if he
entered in any other way. But mem.
bers, of course, would not mind sub
mitting to little inconvenience in
order to carry out so delightful a pas,
time as springing snap division upon
a government And the favorite STRAIT.
agem is for members to enter the
house by some Of the other avenues
which lie open to them. For instance
a member need not enter the chamber
at all; but, going into the court yard
opposite the speakers house and along
to the lower smoke-room and the ter.
race, he may be ready for the division
bell down stairs in the subterranean
parts of the building while the poor
whips upstairs know nothing of his
presence. This is the stratagem which
was employed by Mr.. Chamberlain and
some of his friends on the famous
night when they sprang the division
| as to cordite upon the house, and, by
beating C.-B., then secretary for war,
brought to an end the Rosebery gov
! ernment.

TEST OF STRENGTH.
Shows That the Elephant is King
and Man is Left Far
Behind.

New York Herald.
Elephants. ca,nelS, horses. zebus.
and men measured their strength in
a novel test held in Madison Square
Garden recently.
Special apparatus had been design
ed and made equal to the scverest
strain that could be placed upon it.
All the long pulls and the strong pulls
failed to destroy the registering
ability and sufficient data was obtain
ed to deduce an inference that at
least Is men would be required to
hold an unruly elephant and that the
energy Of the peaceful animal is not
to be held lightly.
"To test the machine" announced
Mr.. Allen. from all improvised ros-
trum. 'one hundred men will pull on
the ropes
4 small army OF employees were
quickly in position. They pulled
rather airnlessiy and the inventors OF
the machine announced six thous-
and seven hundred pounds. sivty-seven
pounds to the man" With that the
men looked at each other somewhat
askance. and asked for another trial.
"Later!' said Mr.. Allen
Two chestnut draught horses
weighing. it is said, 1900 pounds each,
next made long pull at the end of
an eighty-foot rope. They pulled
and reared. but registered only o.75o
pounds. On a short hitch. close to
to the machine, this was increased
to $3.50 pounds. Then four horses
in similar hitch increased the tension
to 5,125 and fell on the long pull to
$3.50 pounds.
Then entered a pair OF camels. in
leather harness.
"These have never been harnessed
before" said Mr.. Allen. land we ex-
pect very little. because the camel has
better records in pulling in the op-
posite direction"
There was an emphatic urging
and the camels reared and plunged.
gave several piaintive bleats and
finally pulled heartily. 1--WE are az
tonished," said Mr.. Allen. "They
have recorded 2.75o mounds"
Zebus. the sacred cattle of India.
were brought in but no amount OF
urging could make them lift the indi-
Gator above zero. They observed
Sunday by absolute rest.
Then the 100 men had another trial.
"Hi. heave! Hi. heave" the circus
song rang out and the rope and gear
creaked and cracked.
"Twelve thousand pounds" an
nounced the dial keeper. Then so
men pulled 400 pounds. and in an
imaginary tug of war increased this
to 800 pounds. the record breaker.
Then Babe, an elephant. was an
nounced to give an exhibition OF
pushing power. The name OF Babe
is a travesty. She is 50 years old and
weighs six tons.
First big red circus wagon was
rolled in and filled with men. The
wagon weighed 1850 pounds. the men
at least two tons more. The big
hawser was fastened beneath the
wagon. led back to the steel eye OF
the huge register and Babe pushed
against a padded plank across the end
of the wagon. Before it brought up
on the end of the rope it was trundled
off like an infants carriage. When
the strain came the keeper yelled.
Come Babe" and the ponderous
bulk pushed with her head obedientiy.
"Forty-ive hundred pounds! cried
the man at the register.
