The Decline of Pie.

A writet in the current Harper's
Weekly laments the passing of the
American pie habit as it fourished a
generation ago. Americans, he thinks.
eat other foods than pie now. Patent
breakfast foods compete audaciously
with pie for the supremacy of the
breakfast table. Pie does not adver-
tse. and a food that does not advcr.
tise cannot expect to maintain its tyr
amy over the digestive apparatus Of
a nation OF readers. Pie is no longer
the champion Of the food list But
what seems especially remarkable
about It is the lack of individuality
about the pie of commerce. The lunch
room keeper recognizes only two kinds
of pie-good pie and spoiled pie. Con-
sumers must be equally undiscrimina-
ting. In the age when pie was king
1t was not SO. Then there were pies

The Goose Got Away.

To the Hon. Josep,1sibley of Penn
sylvania the yarn-loving members of
the House are giving credit for this
story:
There was rich old farmer who
lived in one of the interior districts
near Philadelphia, and who got tan.
gled up in a money transaction with
one OF his neighbors. Mr. Alston, for
that Wa his name.' sought an attor.
ney, who gave him letter of intro.
duction to a brother lawyer in Phila-
delphia, at which place it was neces.
sary to enter the suit. The letter was
delivered to the lawyer, and while he
was reading it he was called out of
the room, leaving the letter on his
desk Mr.. Aston let curiosity get
the better of him and read the letter,
which closed with a postscript stat
ing that "Mr. Alston is fat goose: ::
pluck him heavy
That was enough for the old farm
er, and seizing pen he wrote: "P. s.
No. 2-The goose has flown, feathers

1t took him about three seconds to
amble down the stairs and into the
streets, and he has not had anything
to do with lawyers from that day to
