Gen Towards Practical Joke.

One of the best stories told of Gen. Sherman related to a prac- tical joke which Gen. Oliver 0. Howard unconsciously played upon him near the close of the war. Gen. Sherman delighted to twit Howard upon his absti- hence where spirituous liquors were concerned. Nothing more invigorating than cold water was to be found in Towards headquarters. On one occasion when Gen. Sherman was visit ing Gen. Howard with his chief medical officer, Sherman winked mischievously at the man of medicine and said:
 Doctor, have you a seldlltz powder in your quarters! l don't feel just right and am sure one would do me good.
 The medical officer was equal to the occasion and told his con- mander that he did have such an article, inviting Sherman to his quarters to get it. Gen. Howard intervened, however, with the remark that he had plenty of seidlitz powders of very good quality, one of which he would be glad to give Gen. Sherman. The general's desire for medicine lost some of it's keenness, and he told Howard he wouldn't think of putting him to the trouble of fixing up the dose. ''No trouble at alI." declared the obliging Howard, and he straightway pro- duced glasses and water. Sher- man turned to the medical officer for relief, but that worthy With effrontery gravely remarked:
 "Come to think of it, General, I don't believe 1 have a seidlltz powder in my outfit, so you had better take the one Howard has prepared"
 There was no way to get out of it. and with very bad grace Gen Sherman swallowed the foaming decoction, and was never known to complain of needing rood;oino in Towards tent again. Washington Star.

and Mr. Scott were looking over the latter's big plant, Mrs. Mc- Kinley not being present, the President said: "Oh, by the way, MT. Scott, didn't 1 hear you and Mrs. Mckinley arrang- ing to play cribbage some time:"
 "Yes" said MT. Scott, i've are going to play"
 "Well, what kind of player are You?" asked the President.
 "Oh pretty fair,I guess; l play a pretty good game
 "Well, so do l." said Mir. Nc, Kinley. "But, do you know, it may seem strange, but it is @ fact, that I have never been able to play we'll enough to beat Mrs. Mckinley" As he said this he ] looked at Mr. Scott with a slg- nifcant smile. Their eyes met. ! It was enough. MT. Scott un- derstood, and it was safe to say that he did not beat Mrs. Me- Kinley.
 I doubt if a better illustration of Mrs. McKinley's constant con- sideration for the comfort and pleasure of his invalid wife could be found.-Boston Journal.

Sol Smith RusseIl's Niece.

Sol Smith Russell had three young nieces living out West, and he was very fond of them. One day, while visiting his brother-a jeweler in Kansas City he took the youngest Of the trio to walk. As they pass ed a candy shop the child asked for some sweets and her uncle acquiesced, only on condition that she would not eat any until they got home. She promised and was given the candy. Then they started home.
 .:Let's wun," said the child, pleadingly, to her digniied, Lin colnic uncle.
 No, my dear, it isn't nice te run." he answered.
 "Oh let's do Wun. Sne cOdAeu
 Again he refused. Then the chubby little hand squirmed from his and, dropping down on hel knees right on the pavement she scorned the passing people and in a clear little voice prayed
 "Oh, God, please make Uncle Tol wunn'
 "It was simply a question o1 my losing my dignity or heI losing her faith in God" saio the actor in after years, so VI ran as fast as we could. But w walked together no more. - Philadelphia Times.

McKinley's Consideration.

I heard one of the best McKin- ley stories the other day 1 ever listened to. When the President and party went West not many months before he was shot, Mrs. Mckinley, it will be remembered went too. While talking with MT. Scott one day, the man whose firm built the Oregon, Mrs. Mckinley said: ooh do you play cribbage, Mir. Scott. "
 "Yes," was the great ship builders answer.
 "Well, so do l." said Mrs. Me Kinley. 1T wish you would play a game with me-"
 "I should be delighted to dc so," was the reply.
