Embarrass Him.

"Will you allow me to ask you a

audience.
Certainly, sir" said the lecturer
You have given us lot Of figures
about immigration, increase Of wealth,
the growth Of trusts and all that"
said the man. Lets see what you
know about figures yourself. How do

Slowly and deliberately the orator
took glass Of water.
Then he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner. Lightning flashed
from his eyes. and he replied, In
voice that made the gas Jets CULVER:
Advertise for 1t, you ignoramus!"
The audience cheered and yelled
and stamped, and the wretched man
who had asked the question crawled
out Of the hall total wreck.

For years several representatives in congress
tried to secure an appropriation to be used for
the building Of monument to General Miller at
Peterboro, N. H., which town "Ill Try Sir
lived on farm before the Of 1872 and for
years after its close. The representatives who
had the matter Of pushing the bill in hand used
the words OF Captain Miller at Lundy's Lane to
express their own determination to secure a vic
tory. They certainly did try and the speeches
that were made before the library committee Of
congress held patriotic appeals in every sentence.
Apparently, however, 1t easier for Miller to
capture q battery against odds than it was for
members of congress to capture the dollars neces-
sary to build a monument Of enduring stones
to his memory.
1t case Of try and try again While the
cause Of Miller. whose heroism was worth
dozen monoments, was being pleaded congress
voted money for memorials to other men less de-
serving Finally, however. New Hampshire
member who had been digging into history found
out something about "Tll Try Sr's' career which
was not generally known. Congress had been
told time and again that Captain Miller not only
had shown conspicuous galantry at Lundy Lane,
but that prior to that fight he had thrashed
superior force of British and Indians at Managua
Congress had also been told that Miller had com
manded the center column of General Browns
army, which routed what apparently an
overwhelmingly greater force Of the British at
Fore Erie
These things didn't make an impression Con-
gress seemed to think that inasmuch as Miller
was soldier that 1t his business to defeat
superior lorces ol the enemy every day In the
week without imposing any monument-raisng
duty on posterity. The New Hampshire member
however, found out that after the war Of 1912
Miller went back to his farm near Petersboro
plowed fields chopped wood and mked the COWS
instead Of going to Washington to ask the gov
ernment to do something for him on account of
his record
Miller's popularity was such after the treaty of
peace that the government probably would have
been glad to give him anything that 1t had to
give. When I'll Try Sir" asked why he
was playing Cincinnaus instead of taking a Job
in Washington. he replied: when men begin
leaving the farms for the cities the nation will
begin to decay"
Congress was told OF this saying OF Miller's
and either admiration for his choice Of farm
er's life else belief that he was prophet
who before long might have the truth of his
prophecy proved, brought favorable report
from the committee on library in the matter OF
the monument at Petersboro.

|ccease OF pension for the widow Of n soldier
There were papers forwarded to him which bore
on the case, and these he turned over to the
committee ON pensions after his bill had been
introduced
The widow did not get her money, and 1t was
not long before the whole house knew why The
member who had espoused the widows cause
had been in congress for years, and the joke at
ms expense was too good to keep, and one after
another OF his colleagues walked up to his desk
and congratulated him the wisdom shown in
the plea which in written FORM he had
turned In to the committee to win the Widows
case.
1t Is perhaps needless to cay that the mem
Der had never read the plea. 1t set forth the
fact that while the amount Of pension increase
the widow OF the soldier hero asked for was
large, 1t must be understood that she came Of
good family, moved in the best social circles and
was In need Of n large sum Of money to keep up
appearances.
Upon occasion senator's and representatives per.
nit their constituents to do their talking for
them in congress. Petitions como In floods at
times, with the object Of securing legislation by
external pressure. In the Smoot case, and in
the pure food and army canteen matters the pleas
OF the people came in by the tens Of thousands.
The members OF both houses present these let

the petition to do the res. If they are potent

spite of the logicians, says the Literary
Digest. 1t is simply the collection and
correlation Of data to such an extent
that they are ''impersOnally valid
that is, are true independently of the
mind or personality of the investigator.
He says:
The method of science is not spe-
