JOKE ON THE CONGRESSMAN.
Waiter Drew Wrong Inference from
Guests Attitude.

A Georgia congressman gleefully
tells of an experience during his last
visit to New York.
The representative had put up at an
American-plan hotel. When, upon sit
ting down at dinner the first evening
of his stay, the waiter obsequiously
handed him bill of fare, the con-
gresham tossed it aside, slipped the
waiter dollar bill, and said, Bring
me good dinner"
The dinner proving satisfactory, the
southern member pursued this plan
during his entire stay in New York.
AS the last tip was given, he men,
toned that he was about to return to
Washington.
Whereupon, the waiter with an ex-
preston of great earnestness, said:
well, SIR when you or any of your
friends that can't read come to New
York, just ask for Dick "-Harpers

TRAGEDY OF A BROADWAY CAR.
Truly 1t Is Everybody for Himself" in
New York.

There were six in the seat OF the
Broadway surface car, which was too
many. However. everybody who board
ed the car seemed to take fancy to
that particular seat, so some were also
standing. A very small man sat
crouched on the end seat, pretty girl
next TO him. The small man seemed
to be very restless, and no wonder,
for all the rest were pushing the pref
ty girl, who necessarily pushed him in
way that seemed to infer that his
room was better than his company. At
length, unable to endure it any longer,
he all at once showed his shoulder
under the rail and fell out, apparently.

Russla,s National Anthem.

Russias present national anthem is
probably the only one that was ever
adopted as the result of an open com.
petition. The musical committee an
pointed to do the first rough work of
selection, rejected all the anthems
sent in except two, the respective mer-
Its of which were left for the emperor
himself to determine. One was by
Glinka, the renowned composer of
Life for the Gar" the other was by
Lvof. Glinka's anthem was thorough

form of a march; Lvoff's was more
solemn, but much less original. He
knew, however, that highly military
style of decentralization would an
