ton? He challenged MT. Rainey to-
make his statements out in the open.
"Wil he" he asked, when he is
outside the protection afforded by the
constitution and rules or this house,
will he out in the open make the
statements that he has been making
here on the floor of this house? Will
he make 50 free with regulations as
he has in addressing u.s."
The Democrats applauded when
Mr.. Burton said it was TO the credit
Of the Democratic national commit
tee that it had refused to have any
thing to do with the alleged scandals
But what consolation is there" he
asked, for the accusation now
made?"
Mr.. Burton provoked laughter lr
saying that Mr.. Rainey felt honOred
at having been put in the Ananias
club. "
THE Ananias club he said has
never taken out articles of incorpo-
ration. II does not hold annual BAN
quets. Its members wear no button
Its members don't buy any busts to
put in public halls. 4 census of the
membership would be excessively dif-
ncult, but am afraid the number of
eligibles would be extremely large.
AIR, Rainey, he said was paramount
ly fitted for the presidency o. the
| club.
"With a carelessness that i'll be-
! fits a member of this house" Mr.
Burton said, ''Mr. Rainey had lis
tened 10 statements of detraction
against men whose regulations should
be above reproach.
Let us have a fair and square and
direct statement and proof of that
which he has already said," Mr.. Bur-
| ton pleaded.

AN ABANDONED VILLAN.-An actor
in a small company was unable one
night to get accommodation at the
only hotel, 1t is said, because its pro-
prietor, a remarkably slow-going per-
son for such a country, recognized MIN
as the villain in the melodrama, who
had stolen a cash box, set fire to
house, killed a detective, damaged a
race horse and betrayed the hero's sis
ter.
But something like this really did
happened to George Scott, manager Of
the Alhambra, in London. In his
younger days Mr.. Scott was a stage
villain Of the deepest dye, and one Of
his favorite parts was that Of the
wicked Levison, in East Lynne"
After playing the character a few
nights in Blackpool he had occasion for
wishing to change his lodgings, and,
knocking at the door Of q house in
the next street, was greeted by the
good lady who opened it with a shrek
and the subsequent exclamation:
What! It's Levison, the dirty vii
lain. Ye can't ave rooms in my 'ouse!
Get out, or I'll call the perlice."

WATCH YOURSELF GO BY.


Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by;
Think Of yourself as "he" instead of
ct"
Note, closely as in other men you note,
Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man
Is you,
And strive to make your estimate ring
true.
Confront yourself and look you in the
eye .
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
Interpret all your motives just as
You looked on one whose aims you did
not know.
Let undisg,lised contempt surge
through you when
You see you shirk, o commonest OF
men!
Despise your cowardice; condemn
whate'er
You note Of falseness in you anywhere
Defend no one defect that shames
your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
And then with eyes unveiled to what
you l0athe-
To sins that with sweet charity you'd
clothe-
Back to your self-walled tenement
you'll go
With tolerance for all who dwell be-
low.
The faults Of others then will dwarf
and shrink,
Loves chain grow stronger by one
mighty link
When you, with "he" as substitute
for a."
Have stood aside and watched your
self go by.

The Forqers' First Game.

The two strangers boldly entered
the towns imposing bank building, to
which they had been directed, and ap-
preached the cashiers window.
What's this for?" inquired the man
behind the window as one Of the
strangers deposited a bogus check on
the slab.
Check for 5000. Can't you read?"
WELL" returned the cashier, smil-
ingly scrutinizing the piece Of paper
you'll have to be identified, you
know"
The first forger pointed to his COM
panion. "This gentlemen1l identify
me-"
AS the second man stepped forward
the cashier looked him over.
"well, I guess it's all right, gentle
men; you both have such open faces
there's no need Of asking your names
or business. Just indorse the check,
please"
This being quickly done, the amount
was counted out and the forgers de-
parted in high glee.
"Ain't he easy?" piped one on the
way out.
'It was a shame to take his money
rejoined his pal. "Our first game was
a cinch!"
But a moment later both novices
hurried back to the cashier.
Say" blurted out the first forger,
''this Is stage money!"
"Well, what do you expect?" was the
cashiers calm rejoinder. 1.-The banks

WHEN DOLLARS LOOKED BIG.-In one
of the magazines lately issued there
was an account Of the method Of run
ming the government wnerein, among
other startling statements, the author
asserted that the annual receipts and
expenditures Of the national treasury
were sometimes as high as 100000
900. The writer had evidently never
heard of the Billion Dollar Congress-
es.' When this article was shown to
one of the senators from Illinois he re-
marked that it reminded him Of a man
who lived in a Connecticut town in the
early SOS. 1t appears that when Lin
coin was a candidate for reelection
the Republicans made every effort to
get the support Of this man, but in
vain. Finally one Of them asked him
why it was that he would not support
Lincoln. I'll never vote for Re-
publican as long as 1 live" was the
emphatic reply. why, they're running
the country. Take Lincoln himself.
Why, he's spent more'n $4,000 already
trying to put this war down, and he
amt stopped yet."-Washington Star.

"THE EMPERoR's ORDERLY."-French-
men Of every rank and class dearly
love titles. The manager Of a Paris
insurance company was decorated with
the Legion Of Honor a few days ago,
and the clerks in the employ Of the
company presented him with a piece
of plate to which their visiting cards
were attached.
On looking over these he was good
deal puzzled and amused by the visit
ing card Of the Office boy" an old
soldier from the Invalides, who was
employed to open the Office doors from
to 4. Under the mans name was the
title "the emperor's orderly" He sent
for the old soldier, who stumped in and
saluted.
"Of what emperor are you the order
ly, and how?" he asked. The old Inva-
lide drew himself up to attention.
Il am the orderly Of the emperor
he said. Napoleon, la petit corporal"
But he is dead. He has been dead
some time," answered the puzzled man
ager.
II dust his tomb for him." growled
the old soldier.-London Express.

ORCHESTRAL OVERsIGHTS.-Thes snare
drummer happened to catch a selection
that called for the use of half a dozen
O. more instruments. To make the
shift from one to another he had to
hustle in a fashion that nightly i'm
pressed persons sitting near. When he
had finished the lively operation he was
putting and blowing and the perspira-
ton was coming out in streams. A man
just outside the orchestra rail leaned
forward and, pointing to the score, re-
marked.
THAT was good work, old man, but
you missed one place"
II did!" responded the drummer in
surprise. why, thought 1 played
everything that came my way"
NO" the other resumed, you didn't
do everything, and 1 saw the leader
glance at you. Right there, in the mid
die Of that measure, is place where

cellar and shaken the furnace, and you
didn't pay any attention to Prov

EGYPTIAN DONKEY BOYS.
Legs and Tongues Equally Active
Iheu Are CannY. 100.

Legs and Tongues Equally Active
They Are canny, Too.
A happy o-lucky lot are the donk-
ey boys of Egypt, bright and full OF
fun, quarreling one minute, then sing
ing, though the latter sounds to Amer
lean ears like an awful wall of mis-
cry.
Scantily dressed in their blue
gowns, their bare feet toughened to
endure any heat or kind Of road, they
add greatly to the interest Of the many
trips taken with them in their land.
The donkey boy has picked up a few
words of English, which his quick wit
enables him to use effectively. The
demand for backsheesh Is begun at
the first acquaintance and is kept up
constantly.
To reply with decision nothing" or
"Bukra (tomorrow) backsheesh,"
sometimes has quieting effect. But
begging is a part Of the business, and
cigarettes, books, white gloves, and
slippers were asked for, while one boy
with seeming unselfishness, pleaded
for money to buy sugar cane for his
donkey.
They sing the praises Of the animals
constantly. This very good dom
key?" He very fast" urging him on
with the "Ah-a-ah"; and you answer,
mo, don't go fast. Ala mahlak, ala
mahlak" (slowly). Upon which the
boy will urge, "Oh, madam, one gal
lop."
Many of the donkeys were fine look
ing and decorated with gay brides and
saddlery, and with the hair cut in
fantastic patterns, says a writer In
the Travel Magazine. A donkey
sheikh owns the animals at any given
place, and the boys hired by the day
in charge of them get their pay from
the traveller, while the sheikh is paid
for the use Of the animal.
This explains in part the constant
plea for backsheesh, which should
never be given until one dismounts at
the end of the trip, and then at the
last minute, as they are never quite
satisfied, demand more and make II
quite unpleasant for the traveller. 1t
is good idea to have an understand
ing in the party and all pay the same
sum, according to the distance trav-
eled.
The boys fully earn their pittance
going many miles sometimes for two
or three piastres. They are quick to
recognize the nationality Of the tour
list. Riding one day with two ladies
at Luxor enc of them said
THAT is a very good donkey you
have. l had him yesterday"
YES" said the other, "his name is
George Washington"
Why" replied the first, that is
strange; yesterday it was Tommy At
kins."
Later the rider said to the donkey
boy:
why did you tell me that the don
keys name was George Washington
and yesterday tell my friend that his
name was Tommy Atkins
oh" answered the boy, "she Eng
lish and those English no like George
Washington"
