Stepped Loud and Fast.

Gentlemen. you shall hear me-" said
Isaac. and he proceeded 10 step loud
and fast, IN his hurry 10 get away alive.
II was a long walk Of six miles, and
through mud and stones. Ike reached
Washington at dawn and he was a
sight HIS fine csat was spattered with
mud his boots were in strings. and his
heart broken. He touched a friend for
ticket 90 New York, and he never
wanted 70 hear the word army again.
When ne went into politics, Ike quit
professional gambling. He was once
coming across the Mississippi river on a
boat and his good wife remarked that
she wished he would quit the cards She
complained that she had no social
standing because she was the wife OF
gambler, Ike said nothing, and then ne
took pack OF cards from his pocket
and threw them n the river. Then ne
told his wife that MS days Of gambling
were over. and he kept his word.

Congress was Ia session. and that fact
led TO his long service and popularity
When the Democrats were IN power
Ike had a job as assistant doorkeeper
When the Republicans were in charge
Ike Hill was the Democratic whip.
Served Under Many Speakers.
He has seen Speaker after Speaker
come anG go, and nearly every Speaker
under whom ne served Is dead General
Keifer is the oldest ex-Speaker living.
and Ike Hin served under him twenty
eight years ago. Later he served under
Carlisle. and years before he served
under Blaine.
OF late. Colonel Ike has been in failing
health. He is long past the three
score and ten limit, but would never tell
his age. lie kept up well during the late
long session. but gave evidence Of fail
ing powers. During the early summer
his nephew, A. ". Aahbrook, Of Johns
town. Ohio. was nominated for Con-
gress. This gave Ike great joy, and he
had planned 10 go home and aid the
nephew toward election in a district
now renresented by a Republican. but
usually the district is Democratic,
One of His Famous Stories.
When the Washington friends Of Ike
Hill wanted 70 amuse a new member OF
Congress they would have Ike tell the
story OF the time he came down from
New York during the war TO whip the
army" He meant to whip It with cards
and he had heard IN New York that a
good card player could get rich by Wis
iting the army camps right after pay
day So Ike came here 10 visit the
camp at Alexandria in 1853. AS he told
the story. he was dressed in his Dest
with a long tailed coat. patent leather
boots then I'm style and he looked the
gay gambler OF the stage and the dime
novels. He had q gO0dly bit or money
and expected with his superior profess
sl0nal knowledge Of poker TO add might
ily 10 his wealth.
He had no trouble in getting into
game. He had wisely planned TO hit the
camp just after pay day and the Of
ficers were glad Of a game with swell
New York sport. Ike knew how" and
IN a few hours he had all the money the
officers had Wagered and he also had a
few diamond pins. a few watches and
other trinkets. He was about 10 leave
the tent when he found one OF his vic
Tins barring the exit.
Wait a minute. stranger" said the
officer.
''Yes. SIR" said Ike, trembling IN his
new boots.
Stranger, you have $50 Of mine" said
the officer.
Yes sir" assented Isaac in a feeble
tone OF voice.
Put Il on that table" was the com
mand as Ike looked into revolver.
Yes sir" gasped Ike, and then each
officer repeated the operation until all
the money Ike had won and the jewelry
was heaped on the table with the cards
and chips.

other medical men have been ap-
preached as 20 the practical results TO
be obtained through the treatment OF
tubercular cases in tents, along the
lines suggested by General Stenberg.
and a majority agree that the District
authorities would do well to take II up
in connection with the new hospital
The first agitation for local munici-
pal tuberculosis hospital dates back six
years ago. when public sentiment be
gan TO be considerably stirred up over
the apparent Increase of white plague"
victims i'm the District. Congress was
asked To appropriate the funds for the
erection Of a large general hospital, with
the idea of ceutralizing the treatment
Of miscellaneous cases. The feeling pre-
vailed, however, that the plan aimed at
taking away from the other hospitals.
the annual appropriation given them
by Congress. and for that reason form
idabIe opposition developed and the pro-
fect was defeated.
At the last session of Congress the
Commissioners succeeded In getting
100000 for the proposed hospital al
though s150O00 was asked for. but with
the distinct object Of devoting the hos
pitaI to the treatment OF tuberculosis
cases alone.
Plan Assignment Criticised.
Some criticism has been heard con-
cerning the assignment Of the plans for
the new hospital 70 an Out-Of-tOwn arch
itect. 1t is suggested that the bill could
be as acceptabIy filled by local talent.
and perhaps at a less cost to the Dis
trict. While it IS recognized that Mr..
Daly's fee. stated at per cent of the
total cost. or 5000, is not excessive,
yet many ared ispOsed TO think that
were Il the intention 10 have these plans
prepared in the Office of the Building
Inspector. this sum could be used to a
good advantage If spent in providing aC-
cOmmOdatiOns. through he erection Of

Then a big officer remarked, in chilly
tones: Stranger, have you not a weas-

more coin Of the realm?"
Yes. sir" gasped Isaac, and he was
told 10 pull out that weasel skin and
deposit it on the table.
Then two soldiers led Ike 10 the
bridge and one of them said: stranger.
there is the long bridge TO Washington.
You make tracks over that bridge as
