IWashingtnn Pnstl

At the Army and Navy club i'm Wash
ington one evening a group of officers,
most of them young men, were swap
ping stories of various engagements
during the war with Spain and the sub
sequent troubles in the Philippines.
Among the silent listeners was one
griZZled veteran. a naval commander of
national renOwn. 1t must have oc-
CURED to one of the young men that it
was peculiarly lUdicrOus that officers
not long out Of the academies should
be holding forth with respect to their
exploits, while this old fellow sat 81
lent in corner. So. turning to the vet
eran, one of the young officers blithely
asked:
What is the longest engagement you
ever participated in, admiral?"
1T lasted three years" said the old
chap, without a suspicion of a smile.
and, worst of all, the young woman
married another man.

HOW 1T LOOKED TO suRDErrg.

A dispute has been started over the
declaration Of a minister that not one in
fifty of New York's rich men attend
church. The preponderance of evidence
is against the assertion of the preacher.
not only in New York, but in Chicago
as well.
The question was put up to Bob"
Burdette, or perhaps we should say the
Rev. DR.. r. ]. Burdette, now pastor Of
a church in Los Angeles, who answered
thusly:
The impressions vary according to cir
cumstances. When ] look down at the
two or three thousand people in my con
gregauOn, and see how they are dressed
and especially contemplate the display of
up-to-date hats, I think I am preaching
TO congregation OF milliOnaires. When

A 7-year-old boy walked into the
Roosevelt hospital in Philadelphia the
other day with a cut in his head which
required three stitches to mend. When
asked how it happened, the little fell
low, with tears rolling down his cheeks,
said that he and his little sister were
playing husband and wife. I came
home late" he said, 'and sister took
poker and beat me over the head with
it."

The New York Times. which got off
on the wrong foot last fall and became
meek and lowly follower Of Mr.. Taft
is now harassed by as many doubts
and fears as a sinner at the old-time
mouners' bench seeking forgiveness.
The passing of Roosevelt has not been
followed by d return of those halcyon
days which marked the. Mckinley ad-
ministration, when the prosperity of the
country was capitalized and the future
mortgaged for the benefit of those whom
the Times delights to honor. Mr.. BRYAN
has been the especial aversion of the
Times-no good could ever come out of
Nebraska But in the course of human
events, compelled by stern necessity and
the clamor of the rank and file. the
leaders of the Republican party have
been compelled TO adopt many Of Mr..
Bryan's pet principles, and the Times
fears that his plea for the election of
senators by direct vote of the people
may finally come to pass through adop-
ton by the Republicans. The Times.

I understand that you called on the
plaintiff, Mr.. Barnes is that so?" ques-
toned Lawyer Fuller, now chief justice.
Yes" answered the witness.
What did he say?" next demanded
Fuller.
The attorney for the defense jumped
to his feet and objected that the con-
versatiOn could not be admitted in evil
dence. A half-hour's argument followed
and the judges retired to their private
room to consider the point
An hour later the judges filed into the
