DIDN'T APPEAL TO SENATOR
Western Statesman Had Wrong I'm
preston as to Recipient Of Pro
posed Wedding Present.

Soon after the converting OF a new
session of congress the announcement
was made of the approaching mar
riage OF Arson @. McCook, who was
then secretary of the senate. A sub
scription was Immediately started
among the senators for the purchase
Of a wedding present. Two or three
prominent senators volunteered to col
lect the money. Senator X, one OF
the richest men In the senate at that
time, was one Of these.
Seeing a new western senator who
had not yet been approached on the
subject, Senator X went to him and
said:
Senator Slocum, want you to give
me $25."
What fort" demanded the new
member.
For McCook's wedding present."
explained Senator x.
I'll see you about 1t tomorrow"
answered Slocum, with a scowl.
"All right" said Senator x, as he
walked away, "but don't forget it."
Senator Slocum watched him until
he was out of hearing, and then, turn
ing to his colleague remarked, with
warmth:
'Well, I've heard of cheeky things
In my life, but that man beats all!
What do you think? He just asked
me to give him $25 to buy a wedding
present for his cook!"

Discomfort NOT ALL GOOD
Are other Things to Be
Considered.

II is perhaps true that some writer's
and teachers have accomplished the
gospel of contentment with our lot. 1t
is not always we'll to be contented with
our lot Advancement in every line has
been made by people who were dis
contented with their present oppor-
tunities and broke through to some
thing higher. But, even allowing this,
it is undeniably true that there is a
vast amount of unholy and wasteful
discomfort. We are apt to think pref
ty constantly how much more and how
much better we would do If circum-
stances were different. While history
presents many cases of people who
broke away from humble task to force
their way to something higher, it is
fuller of instances in which a man or
woman, by doing with patient faith
fulness an Insignificant task, has been
celled to greater things.
The answer to the problem is the
old rule of living by the minute. 1t is
almost never right to leave task
unfinished. This day, this hour, this
minute, puts a task into our hands.
Because of the nail the shoe was
lost; because of the shoe the horse
was lost; because of the horse the
rider was lost; because of the rider
the battle was lost" So it was the
blacksmith, after all, who lost the bat
tie. If he had done his work well, the
cause might have triumphed.-Chris

Too Innocent for Pa.

The young man who thought he
knew how to manage old men told the
girl whose father he had just inter
viewed on a matrimonial topic that
he believed everything would be all
right.

he said. HE even went so far as to
borrow $40 from me. Surely, he can't
refuse to let you marry me after
that"
Don't be too sure" she said. you

The next day he found that he did

Useless extravaganza.

The charitable lady was treating q

Wash That Sticks.

In making whitewash that will not
scale off, find the following very
good, writes a contributor to the
Washington Herald Dissolve glue in
hot water, and add in the proportion
of a pint OF water to four gallons of
whitewash; or dissolve an ounce Of
gum arabic in pint of boiling wa
ter and stir in, observing the same
proportions. Before applying this or
any other wash. scrape the wall clean
and smooth. Another good method
is to add ultramarine glue, as it gives
a pretty tint A little salt added to
the whitewash is very good; it pre-
vents il from rubbing off.

He Obeyed Orders.


Sir Henry Roscoe tells this Of the
scientist Faraday and his assistant,
Sergeant Anderson: Anderson was
the sole assistant to Faraday and of
course was utterly uneducated in sci
entific matters, but he could obey or
ders, which is not always character
istic of an educated man. One day
Anderson was told by Faraday to
keep stirring a pot containing some
chemicals over a fire until he return
ed. Faraday, being in the habit Of
going upstairs to tea in his rooms
and coming down directly afterward
TO work in the laboratory during the
evening. For some reason he was
prevented from coming down again
and forgot that he had told Anderson
to watch the pot. On coming down
the next morning he found Anderson
SIN stirring the pot, having been at
it the whole night and thus carrying
out the order which was given him

Partisan Street BARRIERS.

The French capital. like that Of
China, has its street BARRIERS. In Paris
the perambulating tonsorialists carry
little box containing the usual out
fit of their calling. Their chief pat
rons are laborlng men.
The street barber OF Paris usually
places his customer upon the banks OF
the Seine or in some spot aside from
the crowd, covers his knees with a
newspaper, and proceeds TO work. For
only one sou he will shave a man, cut
his hair and generally impart to him
more or less smart appearance.
These BARRIERS are said to make
quite a respectable sum even at the
small fee they charge.

COOKING Kevnotes.

Leftovers of fish can be safely kept
in the refrigerator by putting them
in a fruit jar with rubber and sealing
them tightly.
A wire basket is good thing to
keep the eggs for cooking in, as one
can see how many eggs are on hand
without taking the basket OF the
pantry shelf.
A cheap and durable toaster for a
gas stove is a piece OF sheet iron.
over this a fve-cent wire toaster can
be used without danger of burning OF
blackening the bread.
