There was a clerk who spat and a ste
nographer who told in the Department Of
Justice. The clerk spat by habit, and
soorned the signs hanging around on the
walls reminding him that it was not only
unhealthful to expectorate on the floor,
but was also forbidden by the rules of
the District Board OF Health. Also the
clerk scorned the protests of the stenog-
rapher, who, being a nice man, one who
does not eat tobacco and has no impera-
tive need to spit, objected bitterly to the
habit OF his fellow-servant
At last realizing that his protests were
in vain, the stenographer told. But in
stead of telling his superiors in the De-
partment of ustice he wrote q formal let
ter to the tuberculosis commissioners Of
the district. Shocked that such fragrant
violation OF the law could be going on I'M
checked in the Department of Justice. the
tuberculosis commissioners descended In
a body upon Attorney General Bonaparte.
They told on the stenographer who told on
the clerk who spat. Thereupon Mr.. Bona
parte dispensed justice on the spot. He
discharged the clerk who spat in VIOLA

Justice might be even handed, he dis
charged the stenographer who told, not
for telling, but for telling the wrong peo-

The death OF former Congressman
Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania recalls a
once famous episode In the House Of Rep
rescntatives when, during the angry days
before the civil war, actual bloodshed
or even murder were narrowly averted by
one Of the most humorous occurrences on
record During the debate on the Lecomp-
ton constitution for Bleeding" Kansas,
February 5, 1858, Mr.. Grow happened to
stray over to the democratic side Of the
house to speak privately with one OF the
democratic leaders. In doing so he had to
pass the seat of Lawrence NJ Kett
a representative Of South Carolina, who un-
fortunately was very drunk. As Grow
came up the aisle Keitt told him in
churlish tone to get back on his own side
OF the house, where he belonged. Grow
replied that the house was free to al.
members, and pressed on. At that Keitt
sprang up and attempted to catch Grow
by the throat On being thus attacked
Grow struck out with his fist and. whether
from the force OF the blow or his own
unsteadiness, Keitt fell to the floor. In
stantIy the house was in wild uproar.
Knives were freely drawn and bloodshed
seemed certain. But just as the carving
was about to begin a gasp and then a shout
Of laughter went over the house. William
Barksdale Of Mississippi was the man who
all unconsclously had saved the house from
a dIsgracefuI event and Mr. Grow from
possible early death. Barksdole boosted a
luxuriant head Of auburn hear, worn APP
parently a little long after the fashion OF
the day, and 1t had been the admiration
OF the house without arousing even sus-
picion Of it's genuineness. But at the hrst
sign Of trouble some one clutched or struck
atBarksdale. The next second he stood ex-
posed TO the house his head as bald as a
billiard ball and the auburn wig on the
floor. Overcome with confusion Barksdalo
rendered the sight still more ludicrous by
hastily seizing the wig and putting 1t on
wrong side foremost. When the house re-
covered from it's laughter knives and wea-
mons of war including a swimming Gus
plaor with which one valiant member had
hastily armed himself were sheepishly put
