Senator Proctor's Four-Word Speech.
THarper's Weekly1

"a Southern senator says that one OF
the best and briefest of speeches that
he ever heard in the upper house OF
Congress was one of four words delivered
by Senator Proctor of Vermont. This
speech, 1t appears, was a retort to a
sarcastic fling by a colleague from Massa-
chusetts. He had said: No man In YER
mont Is allowed to vote unless ne has
made two thousand dollars trading with
Massachusetts people Whereupon Proc
tor arose deliberately and observed:
And we all vote 4"

F. {. 3.

We heard a man say the other morning
that the abbreviation for February-Feb
means Freeze every body, and that man
looked frozen in his ulster. It was an
parent that he needed the kind of warmth
that stays, the warmth that reaches from
head to foot, all over the body. We could
have told him from personal knowledge
that Hoods Sarsaparilla gives permanent
warmth, II invigorates the blood and
speeds 1t along through artery and vein
and really fits men and women, boys and
girls, to enjoy cold weather and resist
the attacks of disease. 1t gives the right
kind of warmth, stimulus and strength
ems at the same time, and all its benefits
are lasting, There may be a suggestion in
this for you.

who had oftentimes solicited her to in
sure herself and family asked him on
one occasion if he would insure the cat.
The agent, to the establishment and no
small amusement of some friends,
promptly offered to do so, provided she
paid the first premium down. The wom-

pressed her willingness to do SO, and
placed a shilling on the table. The
agent quickly produced proposal, filed
it in and obtained her signature while
those present were on the tiptoe Of ex-
pectancy as to what was to follow.
"Now, madam, with your permission,
may l see the cat?
Certainly" she replied, at the same
time pointing to glass case which con-
tanned the stuffed remains of the poor
defunct cat.
A chorus of derisive laughter burst
from all present, but to their dismay

same time pickirs up the shilling, and
exclaimed:
