1t wasn't a sprilg day, for there was
lingering feel of Frost, but there was
challenge of spring in the smell of the
air. You could almost hear the sap start

fcse bush seemed to be trying to pro-
claim the borning bud.
The housewife went out and looked al
the sweet peas and huTnmed a song under
her breath. The farmer MAI examined
his seed corn and whistled a tune.

bright stars lighting his wobbly way.
When the folks walked up it was a little
cloudy and the day seemed doomed.
Breakfast was glum and dour. The
biscuits were soggy, the coffee was drug

Then the miracle.
The sun climbed over the fog bank in
the east and IL was resolved into sweet
vapors. The WasherwoInan hung out the

A bird sang and the whole of creation
thrilled.

MARK TWAIN ON A. WARD.
Judges Magazine of FunD

tJuQSe Magazine or Fun.)
Mark Twain's story anent Artemus
Ward is one of his funniest yarns. One
day, when Artemus Ward was travelling.
a man approached him in the train, sat
down and said:
Did you hear the last thing on Horace
Greeley|-
Greeley? GreeIey?" said Artemus,
Horace Greeley-WhO is hep
The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty soon he said:
George Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal of a row over in England. DO
you think they viii put him in a bastile2'
Train? Train2 George Francis Train ~
said Artemus sOlemnly, Il never heard of
him.
This ignorance kept the man quiet fiji
tee minutes. Then he said:
What do you think of General Grants
chances for the presidency Do you
think they will run him.
Grant? Grant2 Hang il, man." said
Ward, you appear to know more stran-
gers than any man I ever saw"
The man was furious. He walked off
but at last he came and said:
You COMPOUNDED ignOramus. Did You
ever hear of Adam? p
Artemus looked up and said: Adam
What was his other name?'

to say in English, IT poque for so
much" and the following players are
TO respond. Il poque against you
Show this word 'poque" TO any Or
binary English-speaking person not
acquainted with French and he would
undoubtedly separate it into two syl-
tables and call it poque. In the German
the world poche is already as near polk
er as the vowel sound will admit.
What more natural than that a re-
sident of New Orleans of French birth
or extraction already familiar with the
game of ~oque, and seeing asands
played for the first time. should use
the expressions ''Je poque dun jeton,"
etc. and that the English or German
speaking person adopting the game
should say. 'I po-que?"
From this # is q short step to drop
the curious and difhcult foreign name
of asands altogether and call the game
po-que and later TO spell 1t poker.

is A GOOD BILL.

The house committee on foreign af-
fairs has returned a favorable report
on the Longworth bill. This measure
carries an appropriation of $4,000. 900 to
be expended in the purchase of homes
for the more important American lega-
tons and embassies IN foreign coun-
tries II is thought that the sum will
meet all requirements. Suitable homes
can be purchased for a considerable
number Of embassies for $1,000 900, not
withstanding the fact that several Of
them, such as those in London, Paris.
st. Petersburg, Berlin and a few 9TH
ers are apt to be quite expensive. The
details, however, can be worked out
later.
The committees report contains an
admirable summing up of the necessity
for the passage of the bill. 1t says, in
part:
THE underlying purpose Of this bill
is to remove the one at present absO-
lutely necessary qualification-that of
great wealth-for the holding Of high
diplomatic office under the United
States. 1t is an open and notorious
fact, and one which cannot be and is
not disputed. that with the very small
salaries paid to our diplomatic ENJOYS
in comparison with those of other
countries. none but very rich men can
aspire to these offices; that no man.
of however great learning. experience
or ability. can represent this country
abroad unless ne be a man of great
wealth.
mo matter how much salaries might
be increased there would always be an
evidence Of the wealth Of each partic-
ular incumbent according to the style
Of residence he occupied. II. however,
a suitable and dignifed official resi-
dence be given TO each Of our diplo-
matte ENJOYS. then, at least so far as
external appearances are concerned,
the rich man and the poor man will
appear alike"
Further along the committee says
that the real object Of the bill is not
30 u.tscii 10 better the condition Of our
p-ese9t diplomatic ENJOYS, although
that IN many cases is desirable. as to
create a condition under which these
high offices will come within the reach
