Acquiring a Specimen.

Mrs. Franklin had always spoken
her mind, and she intended to do it
as long as the gift of speech was
spared her. Her children and grand
children knew her habit, and found
1t not always cheering.

young man 1 saw last night for the
first time said the old lady to one
of her daughters.
81 think she was attracted to him at
first because he's such an athletic fellow
and such splendid swimmer" the
mother of Edith ventured feebly, after
moments casting about in her mind
for a satisfactory answer.
''Humph!" snorted Mrs. Franklin.

Could Argue Both Ways.

James Whitcomb Riley tells story
of an old fellow who asked for work at
the Riley farm in the poets boyhood.
He was set at hoeing potatoes, but did
not prove to be especially Industrious.
When taken to task for his lack of ap-
plication he only replied:
wall, the Good Book says DO all
things in moderation
"Well, it came on dinner time at
last says the humorist, ''and the old
codger did his share nobly. In fact,
he ate enough to kill two or three or
binary men. Someone gently limited
that his text didn't seem to apply. He
opened a worn little Bible and imper-
turbably pointed to q passage.

eth to do, do it with all thy might! !"

THE BABY AT THE GATE.

It's so fur off till Thanksgivin' 1 don't
feel like L kin wait;
Lord, l got to speak about it-'bout the
baby at the gate;
Bout the baby-laugh a-bubblin' round
my cottage all day long;
Bout my baby's mother laughin' an
a-breakin' inter song
Little snatches just o. music that her
mother useter sing.
Lord, feel I've got ter thank Ye fer the
Tilt an dip an swing
or this Universe around me just a-spark-
lin full O. joy.
Lord, though I'm glad I'm her daddy,
most wish L was a boy.
Wisht was a boy just this much-that
l could git down an play
'Thout a-bein quite so clumsy; 1 can't
seem ter sense the way
That she'd like to have me do-can't play
jackstones like l did
When L was another like her, like that
tousle-headed kid
But If l was just a baby then l couldn't
be her dad;
So, just take it altogether. I'm plum sat
isfied and glad
That things are just this way with me.
Glad? I'm glad as l kin be
When l look at that kids mother an
she looks an smiles at me.
So can't wait fer Thanksgivin' I'm so
thankful, Lord, to-day;
thankful for the mornin' -glories. an the
lift an dip an sway
OF this glad old world beneath me. Lord.
50 thankful | can't half
Way begin to tell Ye of it 'thout a-stop-
pin, Lord, ter laugh;
An we amt a-askin' nothin' when we say
our prayers at night
We just knecl to say our thank You, an
say eVerything's all right:
An it's 50 fur to ThanksgiVin' that II
don't seem we kin wait
Fer to tell how thankful we be for the

for the printing in pamphlet form OF
speeches which tne congressional ora
tors desire for ma,iing throughout
their districts and the country.
Each senator is allowed 81 and each
representatives SO copies of the Con-
gressional Record for free distribution.
Mr.. Smith keeps the list of the persons
or libraries to whom .ne Records are
mailed and can in a moment tell
whether any congressman has or has
not used his quota. When his number
is exhausted q senator or member must
pay the usual price for any he sends
out in excess. This price varies accor.-
ing to the size of the RECORD. During
the last days Of congress, when day
and night sessions are held, the Rec
ord is sometimes quite bulky, running
up to IFS pages or more. To send a
large NUMBER of these big publications
to his constituents is quite a costly
matter to the congressman, but so pop
ular is the Record in some districts
that many of the statesmen have to go
down in their pockets to pay for those
they have to send out in addition to
their free quota.

1T is a forgery" said Fred, his son,
whereat McKinnon started as though
stung. And now the mob, headed by
hugh Gale, came swarming to their
gate, and their spokesman, in his re-
sounding basso, addressed, himself to
the master
Squire Benton, it is my belief that
the man we want is hidden here or
your premises. Your son has long been
his most intimate friend. Mr.. Ladue
invited our committee to enter and
search. Will you do the same? Or
are you going to shelter rebel spies and
traitors?"
You are not going to enter and
search, answered Benton, sturdily.
This city has been my home since
1t was mere village. This is my
home. and by the eternal, you shall
not violate it,"
Shut up" yelled the crowd. go

suiting action to word two of their
number leaped down upon the flower
beds and came lunging out across the
grass PLOT. In an instant Fred Benton
breaking from Elinor's restraints

without word, sent his clinched ifs,
square at the leaders jaw and tumbled
him among the pansies. His fellows
recoiled to the fence, and a howl OF
mingled wrath and admiration went
up from the mob. Then somebody
picked up huge clod from a pile Of
soft, fresh-cut sod that stood by the
tree box at the edge of the gutter, an6

can't lick thousand fellow citizens.
The only thing is to get you in some
safe harbor until this blows over"
Opening the cellar door, he plunged
his unwilling prisoner into the dark
depths and bounded back to the front
gate just in time to see throng of
men sweeping silently up the wide
thoroughfare, passing him by with
hardly CLEAN of recognition, and
finally halting nearly two blocks away
in front of the little homestead of the
Ladues
Just then the squire appeared,
springing from hack that had driven
swiftly on the trail of the crowd, and
started at sight of his son, standing
there like sentry at the gate.
Somebody was haranguing the crowd,
now completely filling the street from
block to block only 400 yards away,
while men and boys, jabbering excited
to join the throng.
A mighty bass was uplifted over The
clamor and beloved on the night:
They tarred and feathered and rode
our teachers on a rail for no cause
whatever. / move, by God! that be-
fore We let Paul Ladue wear rebel
coat We give him one of tar and
feathers. l know where to find him"
1t was the riff raft of the city that
made up the bulk of the crowd-the
idler, the loafer, the saloon hanger
on, the same class precisely that siA
weeks before had mobbed the men of
Massachusetts, in the streets of Balti,
more. Of the thousand shouting and
Swaying there in the dim light of the
city lamps probably not so men were
respectable citizens, and, all too late,
George Mckinnon began to realize TIL at
he was now powerless to quench the
train his vehement oratory had fired.
MY God" cried Mr.. Benton. "They
are coming here!"
Running toward them along the
sidewalk, distancing the crowd, pale
now and trembling, came McKinnon
Quick he cried. Let me take Miss
Elinor round to Judge Merediths
She's safe there. Come-come, Eli
nor" he pleaded, with outstretched
hand. But the blue eyes looked him
over with utter Indifference. She
would not even vouchsafe reply.
What in heavens name have you
done, McKinnon?" cried the father
Surely you ought to have known it
was playing with fire to arouse these
ruffians. Go in doors, child" he con-
tinued, turning suddenly to her. But
now it was McKinnon who detained.
Stop! You must see,' said he.
Here is what came for him this very
night. Now do you believer"
Benton took the heavy envelope ex-
tended to him. 1t bore the st. Louis
postmark. 1t had been sliced open
with a knife. 1t was addressed to

'twfxt midriff and gorge, Just as a
bulky vegetable, hurting through gas
lit space, landed full on his distended
cheek.
Then of sudden there arose from
the threats of the mob yell of tri-
umph and rejoicing, for at the head of
the steps stood Paul Ladue, facing
them with flashing eyes and without
a tremor. Another instant and before
Fred could interpose, light and agile.
he bounded down the steps, across the
lawn and vaulted to the fiat-topped
fence at the corner, lighting like cat
on his feet, and confronted them.
Who accuses me-and of what am I
accused?" he cried.
You're damned spy" REBEL

crowd. And then big Gale, the black
smith, tore way round to the side
and waved under the pale, quivering
face McKinnon's contribution to the
evenings disturbance-the letter he
would now have been glad to with
draw. What have you to say to this,
Mr.. Lieut.. Paul Ladue, Eleventh Ala
bama?"
Il say it's forgery and Ie." was
the ringing answer.

mo, and you can see their letters
any time you wish"
Damn their letters!" shouted Gale.
Then facing the crowd "Fellow citi-
zens. what shall we do with him?'
Up went chorus of curses and yells,
in the midst of which Fred Benton
sprang to the fence beside his friend,
and his father vainly shouted, begging
to be heard. you be quiet, Squire. J"
answered the nearmost I'VE don't
want you-you're all right" Fred
was felled by stone that struck him
full in the forehead. Paul Ladue's
legs were jerked from under him and
he was dragged, struggling and strik-
ing at every face within reach, and
borne away, the vortex of a whirlpool
of raging humanity whose hoarse
shoutings gradually died to distant
roar as they surged onward down the
slope to Market square, Benton and
McKinnon vainly following, implor-
Ing and protesting. Then one level
headed lad ran like deer to the quar-
tiers of a cadet company across the
river, and while Elinor knelt there by
her stricken brother, chatting his hand
and bathing his disclored brow, the
courthouse bell in rapid clang, pealed
out the alarm of fire.
An hour later, limp and exhausted,
in the care of a physician, and es-
corted to the pier by Benton and city
officials, the victim of mob fury was
borne to stateroom on the Northern
Light" and so on to Chicago.

ity to the mails of the post cards
which have become the rage within the
last two years, or since congress au-
thoriZed their use in the mails. This
form of souvenir and mailing card has
been utilized as a means to pander
to the desire for the risque and racy
in pictures and some of the specimens
are too indecent to pass through the
mails.
Instructions have been given post
masters throughout the country to re,
fuse the worst of these cards admission
and to send them to the dead letter
Office, where they are finally passed
upon by Mr.. Young and his assistants.
1t is little difficult to tell just where
the proper line should be Drawn, but
a large number of these post cards are
are so manifestly unfit for mailing that
the work of the censors is cut out for
them. AS high as 5000 of these SOU
Tenirs have been confiscated and de-
stroyed in one day. The bulk of the
Objectionable cards come from abroad,
principally from Paris, where ideas of
propriety are not formed on whole
some American lines.
Mr.. Young, who acts as chief censor
in the interest of public morality, is
an old-time newspaper man and a
brother of the late John Russell
Young, the noted diplomat, traveller
and writer. Forty years ago Mr. Young
was member of the press gallery here
and for many years was chief CORE
spondent of Horace Greeley's New
York Tribune. He was a member of
congress for two terms from Philadel-
phia.
