The Pork Barrel.

The Peoria Star relates a story told
by Arthur w. Dunn, who has charge of
the Legislative work at the national
tells how legislative appropriations
came to be designated as THE Pork
Barrel" 1t was in the 51st congress
under the domination of Tom Reed. In
those days they did not have omnibus
claims bills, but two days were set
apart for the consideration of public
buildings bills. 1t is doubtful whether
Reed would have allowed that time if
Seth Milliken Of Maine had not been
chairman of the committee on public
buildings and grounds and had every
thing cooked up to take care of the
Pine Tree state ahead of all others
There was a great scramble for place.
and late in the afternoon, about half
past 5, with a dozen bills still on the
calendar, one of the economists on the
republican side moved to adjourn. In
stantly there was a great clamOr among
those whose bills had not been reach
ed, and high above the din and uproar
was heard the voice of Tom Clunie.
Clunie was a democrat, representing a
San Francisco district, and was one of
the best fellows imaginable. Every
body liked him. Jovial, smiling, with
good word or a joke for everybody,
he was beyond doubt one of the most
popular men in the house. Hold on,
there; hold on, there!" shouted Tom,
and his voice rang out so loud that
everybody stopped. Don't adjourn
until I get my piece OF pork" He at
tempted some other explanation, but it
was drowned in roar of laughter 1t
won.
The house refused to adjourn, and
the appropriation for public building
in Tom Clunie's district in San Fran
cisco was passed. Ever since that time
everything that means an appropria-
ton for a congressman district has
been labeled Pork" and congressman
have been abused because they were
pork barrel statesmen, so that
mans standing in his district now is
estimated upon his ability to get pork
for his constituents.

path of the Namato spirit of chivalry.
Again. the sword was emblematical
of true gentility. which is never over
bearing or vulgar in department, but
| sternly self repressive.
No man knows when first the forge
for fighting weapons was set up in the
dawn of Japanese history nor who
was the man who first replaced the
rude bronze blades OF a primitive folk
by the tempered steel of the Yamato
blade. There is in the imperial collec-
ton of swords at the castle of Nara
the weapon worn by the Crown Prince
ShotOku. who compiled the constitu-
ton Of seventeen articles in A. d. G93,
the oldest sword known in Japan. From
that weapon, which was straight and
not curved as all other swords of Nip
pom are. down 70 the fall of the Toku-
gawa shogunate in the middle of the
last century there is an unbroken his
tory of the art of the swordsmith.
Twelve centuries of recorded art in
swordmsking and the names of over
10000 makes constitute the history of
the sword III japan.
The Japanese blade, placed almost
in art and utility. differs from the
Arabian weapon in one material detail
OF manufacture. Instead of having
uniform high temper, which gives the
remarkable debility possessed by the
Damascus blade, the japanese sword
has two tempers. a hard and q mild
steel.
The edge of the blade is hard with
the finest temper. the body and back
of a milder temper. sufficient to give
some elasticity. \ Japanese sword
cannot be bent half double with the
pressure of d hand: it is nearly rigid.
Though sword manufacture has ceas-
ed to be in Japan today outside Of the
government arsenalS. which turn out
only the accepted military blade of the
modern army, the country is filed with
priced relics of the past art, and these
are relics which the japanese will not
sell. A posseSsor of one of the old
swords, keen and blue white in luSter
as the day it was forged, would sell
his house. even himself maybe, before
he would part with his iron Bible of
Bushido for money.-Japan Magazine.

The Argus Daily Short Story
The Alabama Pirate Chick-By Kngsbury WEIGH.
Litsra ~

There We're during the civil war sew
eral Confederate privateers fitted out
to prey on American commerce. The
most important of these were the Ala
bama and the Florida. The former,
commanded by an eX-ofIicial of the
United States navy, literally swept our
merchant marine. which at that time
had taken the lead in the worlds car
ryinS trade, from the seas.
Raphael II. SemInes was the captain
of the vessel. which was often dubbed
q pirate, and when she was sent to
the bottom in CherbOurg harbor by
the KearSarge she left i successor in
a real pirate. one that fiOated the skull
and crossbones instead of the stars
and bars.
The birth of this offShoot. for which
Tarantula would have been an appro-
pirate name, was in this wise: There
was among the crew of the Alabama,
which was made up of the most des-
perate men of all nations, one named
Dixon. He is said to have been a mild
hammered man, slender and delicate
looking, but as bloodthirsty as a tiger.
He was called Crocodile Dixon. the
surname being abbreviated to Crocky.
In 1868 the Alabama visited the Indian
archipelago. Dixon deserted and set
up in the business OF piracy on his own
account
He succeeded in getting n small
schooner, which he named the Semmes
in honor. or, rather dishOnor. of his
old commander, armed her, gathered Il
crew such as could easily be picked
up in that region of pirates and pro
ceeded to make himself master Of ev-
erything that foated except men-Of-
war, from which he scUdded away as
fast as sails would carry him Piracy
has always been in vogue in that part
of the world. and Malay pirates have
often figured in stories of luckIess trav-
elers who have been forced to walk
the plank. At any rate, Crocky Dixon
concluded to make ii his field.
One evening Crocky Dixon sat on
the deck of the Semmes putting Il
cigar and watching big ship maneu-
