'She wants me to buy a new three vol­ ume novel from her. If I'm out of the way when she calls you can talk to her.' • 1 asked how 1 was to recognize her. 'You'll rec­ ognize her easy enough." said Mr. Tinsley. 'She is a fa!!, striking looking woman, and she'll talk to you .".1st like a man.' A few days later a tall lady called. I fancied she might be MUs Marryat She looked around the office, and then, addressing me. she said. Is Till in?' "To this I replied that Mr Tinsley was not In Could I do anything for her? '1 must see Bill himself.' she 1 said. 'Tell the old ho'trv.ler I called.' ' 'You're Miss Marryat V 1 ventured. 'Yes. But stop! How the dickens do 81J yon know I'm Mis» Marryat? I never saw yon before.' " "yol 'bs miss mar­ ryat?" speech delighted the company. A lady congratulated the major's wife upon her husband's brilliant ef­ fort. "Oh, Mrs. H.," she replied, "yoti don't know how fond the major is of them. I've seen him with two or three on his lap at once"-- "Oh, Caroline!" gasped the major, who had overheard the conversation. "Just teasing the life out of the poor things," went on his wife, wholly ob­ livious to the shouts of laughter. A Bad Guess. Representative Ralph W. Moss of Indiana hurried to Washington when congress started up and engaged com­ fortable living quarters before his wifu arrived. She reached the capital som<> weeks later on a Saturday night. The next morning she said: "Now, Ralph, we'll go ' r> church, of course. Which church have you been attending?" "Wh-er-uh, w h i c h o n e Imv? 1 been attending, you say?" rcpr>a'ed V-'.e eon gressman. "Why. there's a ;;i ;,lr v nic:> little church down here Just a couple of blocks. It's such an easy walk that I've been going there rather (han to some of the more fashionable churches." "All right, if you feel at homo there, that's where we'll go." said the con­ gressman's wife. "We haven't much time, anyhow." So they put 0:1 their things aud went to the little cauich dowu the street. When they got inside they made a. startling discovery.

If you could cast away the pain. The sorrows and the tears And let the joys alone remain From all departed years. If you could quite forget the sighs And recollect the song-- What think you? Would you be as wisst . As helpful or as strong? If you could lay the burden down That bows your head at whiles, Shun everything that wears a frown And live a l ife of smiles- Be happy as a child again. As free from thoughts of care-- Would you appear to other men More noble or mora fair? Ah, no! A man should do his part And carry al l his load. Rejoiced to share with every heart The roughness of the road, Not given to thinking overmuch Of pains and griefs behind. But glad to be In fullest touch With all his humankind. "Not In It" With Nat. Mr. Goodwin was playing poker at the Lambs club. After various raises- he was eventually called in one pot. "Name your hand, Nat." said Willi* Collier. "I have four queeas," said Mr. Good- Win. "Wrong, Nat," said Mr. Collier. "You had four queens." Which i> 'Inted reference to- his mat­ rimonial misadventures may have In­ spired this latest yarn, says the New- York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. Mr. Goodwin was de­ tected gazing passionately into the window of a florist's establishment when a friend came along the street. The friend paused at Mr. Goodwin's elbow. "Wonderful American Beau­ ties in there, Nat." said the friend. "Uh, huh," said Mr. Goodwin. "I'm very fond of that flower," said the friend, "because I married an American beauty." "You haven't anything on me." said Nat, turning sourly away. "I married a cluster." Labouchere and the Bible. One day a friend went into the office of London Truth and offered to bet La- bouchere that he could name a book he had not got in the place. On inquiry this book was specified as the Bible. Labouehere offered to bet the man $50 that he had this book, and then deftly turned the conversation, writing mean­ time a note furtively to the clerk out­ side to go downstairs to the booksellers onderneath and borrow a Bible. Later he returned to the subject of the bet and, calling the clerk in, bade him pro­ duce the book. He said afterward that he was afraid the boy hadn't cut the pages so as to prove it had been in use some time. This enhanced the joke, as no one in those days ever saw a Bible with the pages uncut. clerk have publication made as out­ l ined, and that he be authorized arid I d irected to draw warrant on the treas- I urer for the amount when publication l ias been made in accordance with this plan, said motion was unanimously I carried.

John Sharp Williams says the best nominating speech he ever heard was made by Private John Allen, who used to be a member of the house from Mississippi. The man Allen wished to get ou the ti' Uet was au e.\-('onfeder­ ate soldier o had lost both legs and bad a crippled itrm. There were many things that < mild have been said about the man s war record, but Allen wished to be brief He got up. looked at the fellow and brought the entire gather­ ing to Its feet by his speech. He said: "1 desire to nominate all that's left of poor John Smith" - PhiladelpUta Ledger Rough on the Major. Captain Jinks was giving a party and had arranged a nice little toast list in deference to the presence of Major Clacquer. an able after dinner speaker. The latter was attended by his wife, a very deaf old lady, who was much at­ tached to him. As the gallant officer was to reply to the toast of "The Babies." his wife, knowing his fond ness for children. Judged that it would suit hlni admirably. At the last mo­ ment. however, the major's subject, un­ known to Mrs. Clacquer, was changed to "The Ladies." But It made no dif­ ference to the officer, and his sparkling Wasted Time. John Sharp Williams, senator from Mississippi, was walking along the street with a constituent in a dry town. "By the way," inquired Williams, all of a sudden, "would you care for a small drink?" The man stopped right in the middle of the sidewalk and stared at him. "Mr. Williams," he began, when he had recovered his speech, "they say you are a smart man. After you were graduated here you went and got your self graduated at Heidelberg, over in Germany. But with all your educa­ tion, you can ask more blamed fool questions than any man 1 know. Of course I'd like a little drink, but where- can a man buy it down here?" "I know where there's a limited amount of the stuff." replied Williams. "Then, why didn't you tell me that In the first place," said the constituent, breathing normally again, "and not waste so much time with foolish ques- tionsr--Fred C.

Sir Joseph Ward met the editor one day. "Have you a bishop on your staff?" he asked. "A bishop!" the editor exclaimed. "No, I haven't." "You ought to have one. you know," Sir Joseph said earnestly. "But why on earth should I have a bishop?" asked the agitated editor "Because, my dear sir." Sir Joseph explained smoothly, "many of your newspaper's statements need conflrmt- tlon so badly?"
