He Needed the Clerk
When Tim Campbell was in the Fif
tieth congress he stole a clerk from
Congressman Scott Scott was a new
member and was made chairman of a
committee which gave him si clerkship
He kuew nothing about the clerk
Campbell did Through sonir means
or another he had the clerkship trans
ferred to his own committee Six
months later Scott learned of the trick
Meeting Campbell he said
That was a nice piece of petty lar
ceny
Tut tut Mr Scott said Campbell
my committee needed a clerk worse
than yours Then with twinkling
eyes he continued You are a
liouaireand canjifforxl to hire halfa
dozen clerks while I must go to tne
government for clerical assistance
The ready reply amused Scott The-
two men were always the best of
friends thereafter
Anxious Traveling
A traveler in Hussia noticed tnat the
train he entered was all decorated
with flags and banners and t every
station it passed stood a company of
soldiers and a band playiug the natiou
al anthem The traveler asked a
brakemau the reason of all this cere
mony The braeman lowering uis
voice replied
I dont mind telling you sir but in
the strictest coutideuce be it under
stoodthat a carriage in this train litis
been engaged for his majesty But his
majesty as a matter of fact wont
set off till this evening Thus the plot
hatched against him may take effect
on this train you see and our gracious
sovereign will be saved
The brakeman touched his cap and
passed on and the traveler suddenly
grown pale and nervous stared from
the window anxiously
Tho First Patent on Matches
Before 1S33 when wooden matches
with phosphorus were made in Vienna
people were dependent upon flint and
steel to secure a Ifclit The first pat
ent for a phosphorus match in the
United States was taken out in ISoli
by A D Philipps of Springfield Mass
For many years people refused to use
them but by 1845 rhe ill smelling and
clumsy old tinder boxes were generally
discarded and are preserved like snuff
boxes as curiosities
