DIGNITY OF PUBLIC OFFICE
GLOSSARY Of Words Used la Ordinary
Debate by Now York Law
makers.

! For the benefit Of the large num-
Der Of students Of parliamentary
practice, senatorial procedure and all
the dignifed details of lawmaking
as conducted in this state, we have
collected from various reports of the
recent debate in the state senate over
the highway bill the following gloss
ary of words useful in orderly dis
cussion: Snake, hyena, swine, bull,
squealer, welcher, liar, thief, hog,
mug, swill, fiphap.
For the purposes of accuracy it
should be noted that the "hog" was
"blind," the bull "red-eyed" and
that "black perfidy" was honored by
Aguished mention. Nor should
sths1s be the slightest suggestion Of
any partisan or geographical SUI
Iperiority in vocabulary. Saratoga
and the Bowery divided the honors.
Such debates as this permit a pa
S%triotic people to behold in its proper
setting the true and inherent dignity
which public Office bestows upon all
those who, even for the briefest time,
occupy it-New York Sun.

HOW BUTLER GAVE MESSAGE
What Sir William Said and What Ser
want Told Reporter Quite
Different.

This is a story long well known
in Fleet street:
''The late w. s. Gilbert was abso-
lutely fearless; he could cross the
Strand or punch a head with any
man. He once collared a burglar in
his own house and trussed him
splendidly for the subsequent police
man. Next day a reporter from
Fleet street called to interview him.
The butler came to the door and car
ried the journalists message in to
Sir William, who roared out across
the hall:
"'Tell the Daily - man to go
to -.
"The butler came back with q
grave face, unconscious that Sir
Williams outburst had been over
heard, and said:

SUCCESSFUL WOMAN FARMER.

Mrs. Hester B. Pinkham has q
farm of SIS acres near Pennington,
N. H., and is said to make more
money on it than many men on the
same number of acres. At the age
of six she was getting up at five in
the morning to milk the cows and
when old enough she learned the
shoemaking trade. Then she mar
ried and her husbands health fail
ing, they rented a 2O-acre farm, and
she helped by keeping boarders. In
six years she made $1,000, selling
homemade bread, fruit, vegetables
and other things. She is now forty
five years old, and her husband be-
ing dead, she does all the work, and
is a splendid business woman. Her
rule is to buy when other people
have to sell.

ALLIGATOR HARD TO KILL.

An alligator's tenacity Of. life is
remarkable. 81 remember one time"
pays an English traveller in India, Il
was with a shooting party on the
Ganges, when the natives brought in
| si1-foot alligator. They hoped some
one would want to buy it; but no
Jne did, so it was determined to kill
he creature. It was hauled out Of
he tank and tied to a tree. Bullets
from a small rifle or an ordinary r.
pore gun seemed to only irritate the
aurian, and he did not seem to care
Sery much when a native thrust a
pear down his throat. Finally they
gere obliged to get axes and chop
sf its head. Even then the tail
hrashed around, and the body was
lmost cut to pieces before all move
1ent ceased"

ON THE ROAD 70 RECOVERY
Sure Sign That Miss Amanda Lowry
Was Going to Get
Better.

There were certain traits which
distinguished Miss Amanda Lowry
from most Of her neighbors, and al
though not all of them were adj
mirable traits, they were Miss
Amanda's, and therefore accepted
lovingly by her friends.
When she was taken suddenly ill
with pneumonia, the village was in
great distress.
II went in to see her just a min
ute,o said a fearful friend, ''and she
scarcely looked at me. ! don't think
she really sensed l was there. But
yet they say she's a mite better, if
she can only get some strength into
her. The fever's gone, but she lacks
interest, she's so weak"
A few days later, still fearful, but
JOYOUS, the same friend made a more
encouraging report.
"She looked at me, Amanda did,
where / sat, way across the room,
and then she beckoned to me. you
so take a look at yourself in the
glass; she said, and tell me if you've
got your brooch on straight. 1t looks
canted to the left, to me-
"And twas" said the neighbor,
wiping her eyes. "She could hardly
speak above a whisper, but when I'd
straightned it, she said, That's all
right and turned over and went to
sleep. She's going to get well!"-

sWINDLERs USE OLD TRICK
Tenderloin Character Pays $500 for
Six Giitterins PIsces Of
Glass.

Two smooth swindlers, who posed
as thieves, but were really patrons of
a Market street dealer in cheap jew
elry, have feeced a number Of Ten
derloin characters Of large sums of
money in the last two weeks through
applying modern methods to an old
trick. One Of their victims, William
Snyder, proprietor Of a resort in
North Ninth street, has appealed to
the police for the arrest of the men,
in hopes of recovering the $500 they
got from him for six pieces of glass,
which he mistook for diamonds.
AT the suggestion of the swindlers
Snyder took two of the diamonds to
a pawnbroker, who offered to lend
him $3.50 upon them. Snyder has
tened back to where the swindlers
were waiting and said that he would
buy the six for $500. But n of the
rogues, pretending to suspect that
Snyder had carried information to
the police, snatched the two stones
from his hand and moved as though
determined to depart.
Snyder, fearing to lose the chance
to buy the diamonds, hastily bor-
rowed $500 and gave it to the
strangers. In return, they handed
him six glittering pieces of glass. 1t
was not long after their departure
that Snyder discovered that he had
been swindled.--Phi!adelphia North

WAS PRISON OF KINGS.

In presenting to the town of Hert-
ford the ruins of it's old castle, the
marquis Of Salisbury presents little
save ancient memories, says the Lon
don Chronicle. But these are, per-
haps, more valuable and important
than those Of any other castle in
England. For two kings were held
prisoners within the ruined walls
John of France and David Bruce OF
Scotland. Henry VIII. and Queen
Elizabeth were fond Of the castle,
and paid it frequent visits. The
burgesses ~reciprocated Henry's kind
" feelings toward them Che had
granted them all a general par

PIANO DROVE JOHN AWAY
Takes Good Deal to Upset chinaman'c
Nerves., but Piano VIII Do
the Job.

The destinations of an untram-
meled life in New York has lured
other Chinese servants away from
western families who had migrated
with their retinue to New York, but
John of the bankers family had re-
NAMED faithful through two years
of metropolitan temptations. At last
he gave notice and refused to tell
why. Finally the manager Of an
employment agency offered a solu-
ton Of Johns detection.
ct is because your little girl has
got big enough to practice on the
piano." he said. "John cant stand
that. A Chinaman hates a piano. It
takes a good deal to upset Chinese
nerves, but a piano is capable Of
completing the job most effeetually.
Heretofore there has been but little
piano playing in your house; now
that there is a prospect of several
hours of practice every day John
clears out. We have that trouble
with all Chinese servants. There
are many western families in New
York who would like Chinese help,
but as soon as an otherwise willing
servant learns that there is a piano
in the house he declines the job

our house down and scattered the
