the society to the last HE HIRED WEBSTER A Sharp Nantucket Mans Bargain With the Great Lawyer Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services A sharp Nantucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution in an amusing way however He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket one week in June and he posted to Websters office in great haste It was a contest with a neigh bor over a matter of considerable local interest and his pride as a litigant was at stake He told Webster the particulars and asked what he would charge to conduct the case Why s id Webster you cant af ford to hire me I should have to stay down there the whole week and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth I couldnt go down there for less than 1000 I could try every case on the docket as well as one anl it wouldnt cost any more for one case would take my time for the entire week anyway All right Mr Webster quickly re sponded the Nantucketer Heres your 1000 You come down and Ill fix it so you can try every case Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word He spent the entire week in Nantucket and appeared on one side or the other in every case that came up for hearing The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in liti gation and received in return about 1 500 so that he got Websters services for nothing and made a good profit to boot The Hygiene of Underwear The average person wearing two sets of underclothing a week says the Youths Companion will make the change in the middle of the week but it would be far better if the two sets were kept going the entire week on alternate days With the biweekly change the clothes worn during tho day are aired only for seven or eight hours In the twenty four and never have the purifying process of a sun ning With two sets going on alter nate days one set can be aired two nights and one day and if possible should be hung up where they can re ceive the direct rays of the sun for some hours They should not be kept in a dark closet A Vonderful Cataract The falls of Iguazu situate where Argentina Paraguay and panse lands

decrepit with age When a truth Is so old as that its In a fair way to become a lie Ibsen Wit said Humor of JOSEPH W BAILEY A MAGAZINE writer once asked the first ten members of the press gallery at Washington that he met whom they re garded as the ablest man in congress Every one of them answered Senator Bailey of Texas Bailey does not in dulge in much humor in his speeches i though he at times crossed swords with Tom Reed and held his own with the best debaters in both the house and senate He is especially happy as a story teller Bailey first appeared in politics In Texas as a delegate to a congressional convention He of course spoke elo quently for his man There was a deadlock and so great an impression had Bailey made that some one pro posed to nominate him and a stam pede started in his favor Bailey felt in honor bound however to stand by his candidate and tried to stem the tide for himself but all in vain Final ly an inspiration struck him lie an nounced that he had not nyi jed the constitutional age of twenty ve and as a result his name was dropped and the man he favored was nominated Bailey failed to say however that he would have been twenty five before he would have had to take his seat if elected The way Joe Bailey finally got his nomination to congress is told in the following anecdote He was again a delegate to the con vention and on the way met an old farmer Going to the convention asked Bailey Yep said the farmer Ever hear of a young lawyer named Bailey around here asked Bailey Nope said the farmer Good speaker bright felloAv I understand suggested Bai ley Spose so said the farmer Yes continued Bailey and he will be over there today and Ill tell you what well do Well call on him to make a speech You see all your friends tell them about Bailey and well call on him The farmer said all right No more was said about the matter until there was a lapse in the convention Sud denly the farmer got up and suggested that the convention hear from Mr Bai ley a risiu young lawyer of these diggins he said an a feller who talks like puttin out fire Bailey Bailey Bailey more than a dozen i yells went up and Bailey came forth He made one of the hottest speeches of his life and the upshot of the whole thing was that the risin young law yer of these diggins got the nomina tion for congress They were telling ghost stories in the Democratic cloak room in the senate and Senator Bailey asked if anybody had heard the story of the man who had been reading late at night and who turned around to find something in the shape of a man but without a head sitting close beside him The man jumped up said the sen ator bolted out of the house and ran like a whitehead until ho could run no farther When he was exhausted he sank down on a log gasping but hope ful that he had left the apparition be hind To his intense horror he found the same figure sitting beside him on the log when he looked around He was too much played out to run just then so he sat and shivered In a minute the figure hitched up close and said That was a very pretty race we had wasnt it Yes gasped the man but it isnt a marker to the one were going to have as soon as I get my breath A young friend -of mine said Sen ator Bailey married not long ago a woman of fifty years She was rich and ugly he was handsome and poor The day after their wedding I met the bride and groom on a Pullman train The groom went into the smok ing compartment with me and we lighted up He smoked gloomily Well Jack I said so this is your honeymoon eh He smiled grimly honeymoon he said moon with me Dont call it my Its the harvest Senator Bailey was stopped one day by a Texan Senator Id like a little chat with you he said I do not know you What can I do was the reply I am one of your constituents and I want a consular job Ive written you to send me to Moji Indeed Thats thoughtful of you Why didnt you say Szzechuun I I would have senator came the faltering answer if Id only known how to spell it I am convinced the senator said on one occasion that it is more fun to be a poor man than a rich ono Now there may come times when I want S500 and it worries me to get it but I can tell you that it doesnt worry me half so much as it worries a multi millionaire to get a million or two when he needs ready money He takesi his story to a banker The banker says List me your securities Then the banker picks out the choice ones makes a call -loan and as soon as he ees the millionaire is hard pressed alls the loan and grabs the securities You cant tell me that the poor man1 isnt the happier of the two
