WASHING ON FER

lated country. with almost insignifi.
cant representation in Congress and
washington was a struggling village,
accessible only by wagon or horse
back over mud roads. To shake hands
then with the official representatives
and the citizens" was a light affair
and for that reason a gracious one.
Now 1t has become ponderous for
maiity, that every one concerned
would be glad to have omitted.
One of the recent improvements in
social affairs inaugurated by the Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt has been in
the matter of cabinet dinners. 1t has
been the custom for the President 10
dine once during the winter at the
home of each member of the Cabinet.
The President and his wife with all
the cabinet members and their wives
or daughters constituted the party at
each one of these dinners-thus last
year when there were eight Cabinet
officers the same sixteen people met
at eight different dinners in the
course of eight or ten weeks. That
it was bore went without saying
until the President intfmated it by
giving out this winter that he would
expect to meet at these dinners per
sons outside the Cabinet circle.

gutteral voice:

This is the Protestant Episcopal

He Strengthened himself up, and,
pointing wavering finger toward
the altar, sLid:
isn't that the figure of st. Joseph
up there on the right?''
The sexton was forced to reply in
the affirmative.
"Yes." replied the sexton.
What is that in the center?"
That is the statue Of our Savior"
The Irishman with look of ming
led triumph and contempt, said, look
ing the sexton as nearly in the eye as
he could:
For Gods sake. whin did thin
turn Protestants?"

He Was Surprised.

From Lippencotts.l
An Irishman somewhat under the
influence of liquor, ambling home on
recent evening, happened to pass 2
church, and being attracted by the
sound of music, paused for awhile and
then staggered toward the entrance.
With his natural bump of caution
however, he looked up at the spire to
see that the proper kind of cross
was on it, for to the mind of most
good Catholics it would be almost a
sacrilige to go into a Protestant
Church. He saw the cross, which ap-
iparently satisfied his scruples, and he
went in, sitting down in a pew near
the door.
The heat being somewhat Cypress.
i've he fell asleep.
After the service had ended tic
sexton began at the altar to turn
out the lights.
Coming down the aisle he stumbled
over the foot of the sleeping man in
the pew. and. looking down, diagnosed
the case in moment.
He gave the sleeping man a shake
and said: See here, my good man
wake up and get out of here al
once. You are in the wrong plac.
anyway-this is not your church"
The Irishman sat up, rubbed his

Beginning of "Lloyds."

Two centuries ago a man who had
a cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid OF some OF the
risk by inducing friend to jake an
interest with him. 1t was necessary
to write out statement of contract
to which the guarantors subscribed;
this was the first underwriting. These
two men happened to be frequenters
of Lloyds coffee house in London,
which was favorite place for the
merchants of the town to gather to
discuss business or to gossip. Others
Immediately saw the advantage of the
scheme which their colleagues had de-
vised, and on the next voyage the RISK
was parceled out among larger num-
Der of the patrons of the coffee house
Out of this small beginning has grown
the great European maritime agency
still bearing the name of the humble
coffee house.
