Much to his friends encouragement
Mr.. Croker listened with unfeigned in

apparently enjoyed the narration Of
the exciting events Of John Morgan,
Billy Bones. Black Dog. John Silver
and the others. Wherefore. finding
Mr.. Croker~tn the library the next

MEAN TRICK PLAYED BY FATE
Chances Are That Statesman Had
Hard Time Explaining Mat
ters to His Wife.

The story is that 1t happened about
like this:
A representative from Indiana came
on to Washington when congress
started up, and engaged comfortable
living quarters before his wife ar
rived. She reached there some time
later on Saturday night. The next
morning she said:
Nov, Ralph, well 90 to church. OF
course. Which church have you been
attending?"
"Wh.er-uh, which one. you say?" re-
piled the congressman. why.
there's mighty nice little church
down here just a couple Of blocks. It's
such an easy walk that I've been 60
ing there rather than to some Of the
more fashionable churches"
"All right, If you feel at home there,
that's where we'll co." said the con-
gressman's wife. I'VE haven't much
time, anyhow"
So they put on their things and went
to the little church down the street.
When they got inside they made
startling discovery.
They were the only white people In
the church.-Philadelphia Ledger.
