Then all at once our hostess
Comes in with some nice treat,
And smiles on all our faces
As we sup, and eat.

Abraham Lincold, so the story goes,

through the dog, killing him instantly.
The case was then taken to court. When

was about Thad Stevens. Stevens.

the civil war, was walking down
Pennsylvania avenue one morning with
a colleague. They stopped in at George
Parker's place, across from the old
Willard, for a teddy, and before leav-
ing Thad toyed for few minutes with
the faro bank and won sl0O-a hun
bred dollar bill. Resuming his walk,
he was accosed off the capitol steps
by a Quaker delegation from Pennsyl-
vania, some OF his constituents, who
said they were interested in worthy
charity in his district, and would like
10 receive a contribution. Thad took
the hundred dollar bill from his pocket
and, with a grand flourish, handed 1t
to the spokesman, who was profuse IN
his thanks Turning away, Mr.. Stevens
said to his companion, God moves in
