LEGGED man let in, whom he soon recoe-
nized as the chief agent of the second
section of Secret Police. "Why, friend
Lomaque," cried the gaoler, advancing
towards the courtyard, what brings
you here this morning, business or
pleasure?"
Pleasure, this time, citizen. I have
an idle hour or two to spare for walk.
find myself passing the prison, and
can't resist calling in to see how my
friend, the head goaler, is getting on"
Lomaque spoke in surprisingly brisk
and airy manner. His eyes were suf-
ferlng under violent fit of weakness
and winking; but he smiled, notwith-
standing, with an air of the most invet-
crate cheerfulness. Those old enemies
of his, who always distrusted him most
when his eyes were most affected
would have certainly disbelieved every
word of the friendly speech he had lust
made, and would have assumed it as
matter Of fact that his visit to the
head-gaoler had some specially under
hand business at the bottom of it.
'How am getting on?" said the
gaoler, shaking his head. "Overworked,
friend-overworked. No idle hours in
our department.. Even the guillotine
is getting too slow for us!''

the other. "Come and have a look at
them" He spoke as if the prisoners
were collection of pictures on view, or
set of dresses just made up. Lomaque
nodded his head, with an air of happy
holiday carelessness. The gaoler led
the way to an inner hall, and pointing
lazily with his pipe-stem, said: "Our

In the corner of the hall were huddled

A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand tho Taste o
His Customers.

Two men were discussing the var.
tous food products now being supplied
In such variety and abundance.
One, g grocer, said, II frequently try
a package or so Of any certain article
before offering it to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form a different
idea than my customers have.
For instance, thought I would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such call for it.
AT breakfast I didn't like it and supper
proved the same, so naturally con-
cludeds that my taste was different
from that Of the customers who bought
it right along.
"A day or two. after, I waited on a
lady who was buying a Csc package
and told her couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste Of Postum.
:" I know just what is the matter
she said. you putSthe coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes Of that time it simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled;

Not the Place He Wanted.

An English tourist in the West
Indies had been warned against bath
ing in river because of alligators,
so he went in swimming at the river
mouth, where his guide assured him
there would be none.
How do you know there are no al
ligators here?" he asked, when he
had waded out neck deep.
"You see, sah," said the guide,
"dey's too many sharks here. De alli-

 Congressman John Sharp Williams ard David \. De Armond, both dem- ccrats, got into wrangle over com- ,nit5ee appointments to be made by speakcr Cannon. The dispute waxed warm, and finally Williams, who could restrain his rising anger no longer, called Dc Arrlond a liar and struck him i, tho face. The mix-up tan began in real earnest, and for sovera! minutes the blows fell thick and fast. Williams seemed unable to land on his more skilled opponent, but the latter was putting his fists to Williams face with great vigor.
