The senate lobby was crowded, and sen ators were In their Beats, on the tiptoe of expectancy, for the strains of martial mu sic could be heard from all directions. At this Juncture a figure In a glittering- and brilliant uniform pushed through the crowd and marched half way up the aisle. This wai Marshal-of-the-day Hawley. Drawing; his sword, he made a profound military salute and announced with much pompos ity!

The other strove to correct him by saying aloud, "Abraham warn't thar." But the speaker pushed on, heedless vt the Interruption, and took occasion to repeat, still more decidedly, "I say when Abraham built the ark." "And I say," cried out the other, "Abraham warn't thar." "Well, I bet." said the other, with Indignation, "he was thur, or tharabouts." .Now York Tribune. , Riley In 'iuow Me" State. During the lecture tour that James Whlt cunib Hiley once made through t lit state of MlHtourl he found himself one day com pelled to put up at a particularly unin viting hostelry in a town not fur from Jef ferson City. Mr. Hiley says that when, after a hard night on a shuck mattress, he came down to tho villainous smelling "dining-room," ho was In anything but a cheerful frame of mind. He seated himself at a table opposite a rough looking fellow who was busily en gaged In conveying his f'Kl to his mouth by means of his knife. "I might have suffered this without com plaint," says Mr. Rtlev, "but when ho began to dig with the same knife into the Amusing The Rabbit's Bad Habit. a, WIT .TV A T mumln. rllarnrtSA- if I lately In tho woods, longed for ' I rnmnnnliinMliln. There were no other cats near, and he felt very lonely. Buddenly It occurred to him that there might be plenty of white rabbits around, and that he felt hungry as well as lone some. So tho big wildcat began to sing a plaintive song, the burden of which was: "Oil, my sweet white rabbit, when you are scared you run in a circle." A white rabbit heard him, and said to Itself: "Ho, ho! That dangerous fellow, the wildcat. Is ubout, Is he? Well, I will show him that I do not run In a .circle." So off the 'rabbit started, and ran with all his might. Then he stopped and listened. Again he heard tho song, nearer than before, and off be started again. Sev eral times ho did this, and each time the song seemed nearer. You see, the rabbit had formed the bad habit of running in a circle, and now he could run no other way, try as he might. So he kept circling on, ever getting nearer to tho wildcat, until at last the cat, with a final buret of melody, said: "Oh, my sweet white rabbit, when you are scared you run In a circle," and pounced upon lilm and had him for supper. This Is the story the Indians tell, and it shows how a bad habit gets so fastened on one that, even to save his life, he some times cunnot break It off.

Senator Alger of Michigan tells a story about a "call-down" one of his friends re ceived at the hands of a Kansas farmer some years ago. The senator was speeding through Kansas on a return trip from Cali fornia, where he has Immense timber Inter ests. Seated with him was a friend from Michigan and as they passed through Kansas a prosperous farmer came Into the car and took a seat Just opposite them. The senator and his friend were dis cussing the relative value of Michigan and Kansas lands when the former said: "I think that Is a mighty good farm." and he pointed out the window at a typical sun flower plantation. "It may bo good enough," said Senator Alger's friend, "but I wouldn't take It as a gift." The Kansas farmer, who had been listen ing to the conversation, said, addressing Alger's companion: "Did I tinderstand you to say you are . from Michigan?" "Yes, from Michigan," replied the Wol verine traveler. "Well, I want to remark," replied the farmer, who had been stung by tho slight on Kansas, "that you are the first Michi gan man I ever saw who wouldn't take everything in sight, gift or no gift." t'lrcnlt rrenelier's Notes. U was at a big meeting that all this was said, more of a citizens' meeting than a church gathering, and Mr. Dukes asked: "Now what can you do for the preacher? I don't Intend to put the burden of my living upon any one family, but upon all of you turn and turn about. I will not, however, go where the latch-strlng Is not hanging out of the door. What can you do for the preacher?" One old lady who bad a dim recollec tion of a small church In tho pine woods of Georgia, when sho was a girl1, said: "I kin eat him, but I can't sleep him." "That's good; now who next?" asked tho nii.islonary. "Well, if Sister Jenkins Is gwlne to eat Mm, I'll agree to sleep him, but I can't wash him." "That's good; who next" Then another sister spoke up and said: "Well, Ml wash him, but I ain't much on' bilcd shirts." Florida Times-Union. Reunions Candor. A clergyman in Richmond.

If twenty children are present, give each s, card with a number on It, number ing the cards from one to twenty, with a tiny pencil attached to It with ribbon. The name of the child, Is written on the back of the card. Pass around slips of paper folded, and have each one promise not to tell what Is written on his slip. The person In charge will then call the number, and each child must look to see what num ber is on the slip received. Kor Instance, if two is called, tho one holding the slip with that figure will get up and draw on the board a picture of the animal the paper designates, the others putting down on their cards opposite the number called, the animal they think It Is. After twenty animals have been drawn and guessed, the correct list Is read, the children marking their cards with the ones they have correct. The boy or girl who rightly guesses the greatest number will receive a prise. The one guessing the smallest number must also have a prlxe for consolation.

Dwight L,. Moody once called on n minis terial brother In an eastern town, dialrlng to spend the next day, Sunday, with him. The minister was agreeable, but said that he was ashamed to ask Moody to preueh. "Why?" asked Mr. Moody. "Well," was the reply, "our people have got Into such a habit of going out before the close of the meeting that It would be an Imposition on a stranger." "I will stop and preach." said Moody. When Sunday arrived Mr. Moody opened the meeting, and then encouragingly said: "My hearers, I nm going to speak to two sorts today, tho sinners first, then the saints." After earnestly addressing tho supposed sinners, he said that they could now take their hats and go. Rut tho whole congrega tion waited and heard him to the end. New York World.

"Where do you suppose he went to?" "To heaven, sir." "Has he ever cheated anyone there?" of the princess, and If It were taken off and worn by another the princess would die. Once on the occasion of his daughter's birthday the rajah presented her with a pair of slippers, studded with pearls and diamonds. The princess went into the mountain to gather flowers, and whllo stooping one of hor slippers dropped off and fell into the forest below. A prince, who was hunting In this forest, picked up the lost slipper. Noticing Us smallness and rare beauty, he desired (O make the owner his wife. This wish of the prince was mado known throughout the empire, und although great wealth was promised to anyone bringing information concerning the owner of the slipper, no one appeared to claim it. The prince became very unhappy. He gave up all his pleasures and devoted bis life to the search. After many months had passed without success some people from the rajah's coun try heard of the prince's desire and told him where the princess who owned tho slipper could be found. The prince visited her and, finding her lovely beyond his hopes, a royal wedding quickly followed.' Some time after another wife of the prince In India a prince has many wives being Jealous of the new wife, stole her golden necklace and put It around her own neck. The rajah's daughter died, but her body did not change, nor her face lose its bloom and life-like beauty. She lay In state In the royal palace, where every day the prince went to see her. He loved hor as ardently as when she was alive, and called the wise men from far and near to tell him why this was so, and why r.o change came over the face and form of his loved companion. The wise men could not give any reason that satisfied the prince. He never would have known the truth had It not been for a little serving maid, who, dearly loving the princess while she lived, was found one day weeping by her bier when the prince arrived to mourn his loss.

Colonel Abe C! ruber tells this of himself. He was standing on a street corner one day recently when he was approached by one of his constituents, who said abruptly: "I tell you what, Mr. timber, I've got a girl that loves me. I was Just passing her home when sho stepped out Into the street, and she looked so pretty that I couldn't help giving her one on the lips right then and there." "Did she stand for It?" asked Mr. Grtiber, "Did she stand for It?" repeated the young man: "why, she got up on her toes." New Y'ork Times. Domestic Hardens.

He profits by them. Indeed, though. It Is so with too many mis takes, errors, and misconceptions. Isn't It? "I once knew a young draughtsman who sat bent over a drawing board from 9 till 5 dally, drawing, drawing, drawing. "This was hard work. Tho young man needed a lot of sleep to keep him fit for It. But tho baby he had recently been married robbed him of four or live hours' rest every night. "At 4 o'clock In the chill gray dawn of an October morning the poor young draughts man, as he paced the floor with the shriek ing baby in bis arms, said to his wife, wearily: " 'I wonder why it Is this child won't sleep at night.' " 'I can't imagine,' the young woman an aswercd. 'I haven't a bit of trouble keeping her asleep In the daytime.' " A Delicate ( ompllment. Many delicate compliments have been paid the fair sex by men subtle In speech, but here Is one straight from the heart of an Illiterate negro that Is difficult to excel: It Is recalled by the Rev. C. V. Smith of Kansas City, In telling tho story of a mar riage fee. "When I was preaching at Walla Walla, Wash.," ho says, "there was no negro preacher In town, and I was aften called upon to perform a ceremony between ne groes. One afternoon, after I had mar ried a young negro couple, the groom asked the price of the service. " 'Oh, well," said I, 'you can pay me whatever you think It Is worth to you." "The negro turned and silently looked his bride over from head to foot, then slowly rolling up the whites of his eyes to me, said: " 'Lawd, sati, you has done ruined me for life; you has, fur sure.'

The nock lace was placed around the neck of tho dead princess. At Its restoration her soul was reborn In her, sho came to life and, happy In the prince's love und devotion, lived a long life of happiness and useful ness. Ted's Story of Thanksgiving. We had all sat down to dinner un that glad Thanksgiving day There were uncles, aunts and cousins who had come from far away But betore he carved tho turkey grandpa turnod to little Ted; "Can you tell us why we celebrate Thanks giving day?" Iiu said. Now Ted was only six, but he knew the story well, And he urew himself up proudly, for 'twas one lie loved to tell. "The 1'ilgrlriis wished to worship God the the way that they thought best. But the king said they must go to church along with all the rest. "So they fled across the ocean and they came right over Lere: 'Twus Just as cold ad could bo 'twas the winter of the year; And our country then was different, and of of course there was no duck, So the whole one hundred of 'ml had to land on i'lymouiu Kuck. It was such a hard, cold winter that they died off thick und fast, But finally it was over and the spring had come at lust; And when the 1'llgrims gathered in their harvest in tiio lull, They felt so very happy, they were thank ful, one and all. "And they thought they'd set apart a day In which to praise und pray. And they also had a feasting which they called Thanksgiving Duy. And that is why we keep it when our crops are gathered in. Because we, too, are thankful to have rilled each loft and bin. "And I'm thankful to the Pilgrims, be cause they made the day. For 1 like a good big dinner and a time to romp and play." And when our Ted had finished, "That was well told," grunpa said, And the aunts and umiea shouted, "Here's three cheers for little Ted!" St. Nicholas.
