The first course, us usual, was corn meal mush and milk. It was Berved In Scotch fashion, witb the hot mush in one bowl 11 nd the cold milk in another.

' Have some more milk to finish your mush, colonel," said McCormick. Sev eral minutes later the colonel's mush bowl was empty, at which McCormick said. "Have some more mush to finish your milk." And so it went, with milk for the mush and mush for the milk, until the unfortunate colonel was hope lessly incapacitated for the four or five courses that came afterward. Faith.

The father of Senator Dolliver of Iowa was a Methodist circuit rider In the early sixties in northern West Vir ginia. : .f One Sunday morning he was on bis way to preach at one of his several appointments when he met a young fellow trudging along with a mattock on his shoulder. Mr. Dolliver. anxious to do good at nuy time, 'stopped his horse and said: "Good luoruiug, my son. Where are you going this fine day with a mattock on your shoul der?" . . The yonng fellow answered: 'I am going over here to dig out a fine big groundhog. Where in thunder are you going?" "I am out looking up some of the lost sheep of Israel," replied the minis ter. -s . The young fellow's face lighted up. and he exclaimed, "There's a big buck over here at Uncle Billy's, and I'll bet that's one of them r -National Monthly. His Fast Friends. A teacher lu a New England gram mar school fouud the subjoined facta in a composition on Longfellow, the poet, written by a fifteen-year-old girl: "Henry W. Longfellow was born in Portland, Me., while his parents were traveling in Europe. He hud many fast friends, among whom the fastest were Fhoebe and Alice Cnrey." He Drew the Line. Old John was a lawyer's confident!.'.! clerk, and ho had the pernicious hublr of going to n neighboring saloon every rfioruing at 11 o'clock and taking a small glu'ss of whisky. He was not proud of this habit; hence after th; whisky he always took a clove. Tut :ne nioruiug It happened that there were uo cloves on the bar, nr.rt Joh:i. ufter. having considered the mat JS ger Agent, Portland, Oregon ter, at a snttn nw onion xroo tu free lunch tray. That would destroy the telltale) whisky odor, no doubt as well as the clovs had always done, and, so thinking, he returned to bis desk. It was a double desk. At It he and bis employer sat face to face. John on bis return was soon aware that his employer noticed something. - The man's nostrils quivered, ha sniffed, and finally, with a grimace of disgust he broke out: "Look here, John; Pre stood whisky and clove for nineteen years, but I draw the line at whisky and onions P' Clyde Fitch's Jok.

' . ; "What are you doing nowT asked Smith; " i am in my doctor's hands.! replied Fitch. 'He tells me I'm In a bad way and has absolutely forbidden me to do any brain work.'

New York Times. - " : r- ' ,. ' Hair Monstrosities. . French theater managers In the eighteenth century' had worse evl! than picture hats to contend against. Marie Antoinette, who was short even according to French standards, set the fashion of high coiffures, and ultra -fashionable women prided, themselves on measuring four feet ' from their "chins to the tops of their beads. These structures took about six hours to erect, the hairdresser mounting u ladder In the process., Some coiffures were almost as broad as they were long, with wings sticking out about eight inches on each side of the head. For the "frigate" coiffure the hair was rippled In a huge pile to represent the wares of an angry sea and surmount ed by a fully rigged ship. As c con sequence of these monstrosities dis turbances In theaters occurred almost dally until an ordinance was' issued against the admission of women with high coiffures to the floor of the bouse.
