A LITTLE NUnSLnse.
Story Of Newsboy Who Wanted TO Be
Obliged With Match.

A small newsboy who had made
the find of a half finished cigar on
the pavement stepped into a small
shop to obtain a match.
"Say, give US match, will your
he asked of the woman behind the
counter.
Owe don't give matches; we sell
them," she replied.
,"How much?"
"a cent box"
One dirty hand went into his
pocket, brought out a penny and
placed it on the counter.
"Give me box"
The box was purchased. With q
grave air the small boy took it,
drew out match, struck a light
with all the grace possible and puff
ed theoretically upon the discarded
cigar stub. Then, leaning conf
dentially across the counter, he ex-
tended the box of matches to the
woman and said:
"Say, you jest take this box Of
matches, will yer, and put it in
some place where you can lay hands
on it easy, and when some other
gentleman steps in and asks for a
light don't sell him match; give
him one on me-" And with lord
ly nod the young American made
his way back to the street.-Lippin-

CONDENSED STORIES.
How Lord Houshton Came to Be Called
"cooI of the Evening""

Sydney Smiths name for Monck'
ton Milne, afterward Lord Hough'
ton, was "Cool of the Evening"" and
the reason for this choice is partly
revealed in the anecdote below
which is taken from the "Remi'
niscences of Royal Academician."
At London dinner given by
distinguished man, Sydney Smith
had the place of honor, and Milne
was among the other guests.
Mines manner to the great wit
and divine was lacking in the re,
spect due to age and position. He
calmly addressed him as "Smith,
which every time made those who
felt what was proper vince as at q
personal affront. z
Finally Milne said, with some
thing of an air:
T'm going on to the archbishop's
reception at Lambeth palace"
ooh, are you? So am l." and
Sydney Smith. 'May I ask if you
have d carriage here?"
NO." said the "Cool of the Even
ing"
"Well, I have, and I shall be hap
DIV to give you a seat in it, but you
must do me one favor. Don't call
the archbishop Howley%
The voice and manner of piteous
entreaty convulsed the company and
crushed Milne, who retired as soon
as possible from the table.

THE CANADIAN TURNED TO HIS FELLOWS

The CANADIAN TUNNEL III HID rELho"o
Tribune. The major detailed many
humorous incidents of his expert
ence in the metropolis of 'Our Lady
of the Shows" Among others he
told of the call of party of Cana
dams after the Alaskan decision was
made public. They were, naturally,
highly indignant at the decision,
and one of them said to the major,
"Well, 1 suppose you'll try and an
mex what there is left of the British
possessions next"
ooh, 1 don't know" replied the
major.
"Why, wouldn't you be in favor
of annexation" inquired the speak
er, surprised at the majors tone.
"Well, you see," replied the ma
jor slowly, eff Canada were annex
ed to the United States 1 would lose
my job"
No smile greeted the reply, but
the Canadian who had asked the
question turned to his fellows and
said very gravely: gentlemen, l
think we ought to do all in our
power to make Major Edwards stay
in Montreal pleasant and to facili'
tate his work. He is drawing a
salary from the United States which
would cease if we were annexed,
and therefore we will oppose annex

JOKE ON BRISTOW.
Some One Did Some scribbling Under
His Picture.

Washington, March 18-General Bris-
tow's picture hangs in the Republican
cloak room and beneath it in bad writ
ing is: 1.-The Congressmans Friend"
Whoever hung the picture put under
the following explanations:
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Joseph L. Bristow, new and very
good photograph. He is man who
means business from the word go. Like
everyone else, he forgets occasionally,
as witness the recent charge that in the
heat of his pursuit of other men, he
absentmindedly appointed his own
father and son to lucrative posts in the
department. He retorts that they were
regularly appointed, but nepotism is
still questionable and the retort there
fore loses some of its weight"
Republican members who had not
been hit gathered about the picture
to submit sarcastic comments. Nobody
knows who hung the picture; but it is
alleged that the handwriting is mar
velously like that of Serene Payne.

a bill to make it possible for witness
to give testimony without having his
evidence used against him, and which
eliminates the excuse of declining to
testify through fear of discriminating
himself
Amendments providing that the

September l next, nor apply to pend

cussion brought out this utterance
from Mr.. Jerome, who declared that

! give immunity to Richard Garfield,

other season of prosperity at Sara

! Mr. Jerome said he had found OBJ
structions and obstacles placed in his
way from the beginning, but he was
| determined to pursue Garfield to the
end and to make it plain exactly from
whom he was receiving protection.
Proceeding, he said that beside Can
fields there We're seven other such
such places in New York city that he
was after, where it is impossible for
the police to get in or for any one else,
except they secure an introduction or
! have a card from some safe person.
Senator Elsburg, chairman of the
| committee remarked that he had re-

protesting against the enactment of
the measure.
