The Closing Argument.

In the days when Ben Hardin repre-
scented a Kentucky district in Con-
gress,-more than eighty years ago.
transportation was still primitive.
The member made his way from his
home to the capital on horseback. An
incident told by his biographer, Mr..
Lucius P. Little, shows how he re-
lieved the tediousneSS of the road.
One evening on the eastern slope OF
the Blue Ridge he approached a town
where he intended TO rest for the
night. Three young gentlemen
mounted on spirited horses, overlook
him. From their dress and mnaner he
readily recognized them as members
of the Virginia gentry. They eX-
changed the salutations of the road,
and young Hardin discovered that they
were sprightly, good-humored and en-
trely satisfied with themselves.
On the other hand, the young men
set Mr.. Hardin down as a country
pumpkin. Very few words passed be-
fore Hardin discovered how he was
esteemed by his companions, and he re-
solved TO act the part attributed to
him.
He learned from the young men
that they were on their way TO the
town near by; that debating society
would meet there that evening, and
that they were to be leaders in the de-
bate. He inquired the question to be
discussed. 1t proved to be one that
he had frequently debated in his con-
gressional canvass. From his artless
questions the young gentlemen CON
cluded that they had found a character
who would afford some amusement IL
he could be induced to speak. After
some awkward excuses, he agreed to
speak if permitted to come last. He
said he could "pick up some points
from other speakers and be sort o pre-
pared"
A larger crowd than usual gathere5
that evening. The young genleren
escorted their guest to the hall, aud
seated him where the audience could
have fair view of him. Hardin was
more artless than ever. The audience
made no attempt to conceal its amuse-
ment. Finally, it came the young Con-
gressman's turn TO speak
Hardin rose with an assumed awk-
wardness that caused litter to 60
round. He slowly Strengthened his
stalwart form, his eyes lightened with
the fires of intelligence, and in the
modulated voice of trained orator he
began his speech. The audience was
| al first astounded. AS the situation
dawned upon them, they were carried
away by enthusiasm. They laughed
and wept and stamped and shouted
He at last concluded by informing the
audience that ne had truly said tha
he was from Kentucky; that he was
Member of Congress then on his
way to Washington.

LITTLE LIFE CoNFIDENCES EXPERIENCE COUPLE PHILOSOPHC, THOUGH MARRIED
 

They had been to the theatre and after the show had gone to the Cafe Royal for a bit to eat Both had on their best clothes, the food was good, the cafe orchestra playing it's prettiest and the place was crowded with the city's fairest women and best known men. yet Andrew sat disconsolate, with a furrow be- tween his eyebrows, replying to Imo- genes sallies in monosyllables.
 "Cheer upii she said. "The worst is yet to come Or is that what is the matter? Are you allowing thoughts of the check you will have to pay to inter- fere with your enjoyment?"
 No replied Andrew, with a painful attempt at a smile. "it is not that which is troubling me-
 ''what is it, then?" she persisted.
 "Oh, never mind me- said he, with an attempt at cheering up. "Go ahead and enjoy yourself I am all right"
 Now. Andrew said Imogene, half playfully, T insist there is something on your mind, and I don't see why you don't tell me what is the matter.
 One time there was 8 little boy who had nice big square piece of cheese called Happiness. He was very fond of this particular kind of cheese and it was really almost necessity in his life
 But from time to time there was a little mouse called Discomfort, which slipped out of a hole in the corner of his room of life and nibbled off a corner or a piece out of the middle of his cheese of Happiness. At last the cheese was almost gone and he was getting more and more disconsolate,, and deep furrows were coming in his brow and he was getting wrinkles like an old man.
 Close beside him all this time was good fairy called Wife, who had a nice trap to catch the mouse of Discomfort and stop the slow devouring of his cheese Happiness; but the little boy was a stubborn boy and would not tell Wife where the hole was in the room of life that the mouse Discomfort came in, and she could not, catch itA
 Still the mouse cam9 in, and slowly the cheese of Happiness disappeared out of the room of life!
 "The little boy had been brought up to think that all little boys should be stoics and keep their troubles to them selves, and felt that wives were things to be amused, dressed up and played with, and felt that it was not stoicai or manly to let them into the se~~et of where the mouse Discomfort ~4< get ting in, so she could set her trap and catch It.
 The good fair Wife sat and tried in every way she could to get the boy to tell, but he would not and still the mouse Discomfort slipped into the room of life, and slowly but surely the, cheese Happiness disappeared, till at last, dis traught, the good fairy Wife sat and was ready to burst into tears because the boy had no confidence in her!

What could she do? She had used all her Embellishments and at last tried to set her wishes into fable and as she closed the fable the tears were just under her eyelids and she just sat and waited"
 Imogene looked into his eyes across the table, and he smiled little foolishly. A pretty story, honey, and l do not fail to see its application. If you must know the truth, 1 bought some new shirts this afternoon and they are No. 16 and l forgot to buy new collars. So am trying to look happy in Is shirt and 151a collar!'
 Imogene first looked cross, then hurt. Then she laughed at him gayly as he immersed his 'grinning face in his nap kin.
