BY e. ). EDWARDS.

In the summer Of 1892, Just after the
republicans had renominated BENJAMIN
Harrison for president and the democ-
had,named Grover Cleveland as its
~Sadidate for the third time, Speaker
Thomas B. Reed and Associate Justice
OF the United States Supreme Court
y. =. =. Lamar CHANGED to meet in the
parlor car Of a train bound from Bos-
ton to Maine. The pottly ''cxar'' OF the
House Of Representatives was clad in
the lightest kind Of summer suit, and
his straw hat rested on the back OF his
mead, as was customary with him; the
Justice was dressed in the conventional
Earb which used to distinguish the
ptatesman Of the south, excepting that
he wore a high silk hat. The tails of
bis frock coat reached far below his
knees. and his black trousers were
somewhat baggy. Over his coat the
justice had drawn an old fashioned
linen duster that reached almost to his
feet.
After the two had greeted each other
warmly, h speaker asked the Justice
what he thought the outlook for the
presidential election as
Il am persuaded-in fact, I am abso-
lutely convinced-that Mr.. Cleveland
will be elected" replied the venerable
member of the supreme court,."and by

ular vote.'
Mr.. Reed asked the justice upon what
he based his opinion, and in reply the
Justice spoke Of the factional troubles
in the republican party, the somewhat
desperate contest Al Minneapolis
which resulted in the denomination 81
Harrison, n particularly Of the dis
satisfaction with the financial and BUSH
ness situation. Then hi said: .Mr.

OF all the queer materials which nature

One OF the thousands of special uses to
which asbestos is applied is for covering
walls. Instead OF plaster, which must be

Sanity Test.
I'd like to own an aeroplane,
One of the latest brands that be.
30 that my friends would go insane
In green-eyed envy Ger me;
And as l ak along the street
With chest extended by q span.
The folks who saw me on; hi beat
Might say: There goes the airship
man"
I'D like to own the latest brand
IA model "N~ineteen-ten" At least:
One that, u%psoaring from the land,
Might rise up like q cake of yeast;
But when the day came to AXE wins.
With thousands scattered DER the
ground,
5Td put some wheels beneath the thing
And hire5a horse to haul me round.
