which is best understood by so many
of our fellow citizens, therefore we
respectfully pray your honorable body

Tom Reed's Insinuation.
Once when Thomas B. Reed was
with the late Senator Wolcott of Colo
rado and Joseph CJioate, Mr. Choate,
when asked to take a drink, said that
he neverdrank.never smoked to excess,
and never gambled in his life. Wol
cott, who was a sinner in every one
of these lines, looked pathetically at
Reed and said: "I wish I could say
that" "Say it," said Reed; "Choato
did."
No Heed Paid to Begging Letters.
As nearly as can be ascertained, the
wealthy persons of lew York city re
ceive 35,000 begging letters a day
from strangers, and the writers stand
a better chance of finding money than
in getting from them, for even the
most liberal of philanthropists do not
dispense their charity excepting ac
cording to careful plans and after in
vestigation. Wasteful Philanthropy.

them think they were pennies. It
makes me tired. There were about a
dollar's worth of buttons there."
