HE DIDN'T GET IT. CoiiErcvnan Hilly JlasouN Hottie of Catchup. Congressman "Billy" Mason, of Chicago, lives during liisstay in Wash ington at tho Strathmoro Arms, a family hotel on Twelfth street. Som e time ago a nice old lady, who had known Mr. Mason in his boyhood up in Catarangus county, N. Y., sent a bottle of her very choicest home-made tomato catchup to him, saying she hoped it would remind him of the days when he used to come over to her house, a chubby little chap of 5 or 6 years, and stand around looking hun gry and friendless until she covered a huge slice of bread with catchup and gave it to him. "I'll save this," said the congress man, "until some time when I have my boyhood appetite with me," and he sat for a long time looking at tho bottle and musing over those Joyous days when tho old homestead and the few neighboring houses constituted his world and shaped and bounded hi3 ambitions. Tho other day Mr. Mason came home from a long, tedious session of the house and, bustling in preparation for dinner, said he was as hungry as a bear. "Are yon as hungry as a boy?" asked his wife. "Yes; as hungry as two boys." "Then this will be a good time to open your bottle of catchup." "That's so," said the Congressman, and his eyes sparkled with the antici pation of a whole meal on bread and catchup. The Mason family were lirst at the table, but soon the other guests of the house arrived, and the long family-like board wjis surrounded. Mr. Mason took a few raw oysters to whet his already keen appetite for the bread and catchup. Presently the lady who sat next to him reached over and helped herself to;the catchup. "Oh," said she, "tins is perfectly delicious catchup; try some," and she passed it to tho gentleman next below her. Ho in turn passed to the next, and so it went tho entire length of the table. Then it crossed over and re turned along the other side. Higher and higher Mr. Mason saw each suc cessive guest raise the bottom of the bottle as lower and lower its contents ran. Then the last one spanked the bottle and tho catchup was gone. "It's no use," said the congressman to his smiling wife; "a man with seven children grinning in his face might as well give up trying to make a boy of himself, anyway." And after a few minutes of sober, philosophic silence, he said; "I'm gladldid't get any of it. I should probably have been dis appointed."

A panic ensued, and in the rush to escape,, four children were crushed to death by the frightened worshipers. Important Land Decision. Secretary Noble to-day decided a land case which involves the right of mortgagees in contested cases, and is of interest wherever public lands are taken under the homestead law. The entry man in this case was James Boss, who filed on land in the Fargo, N. Dak., district. His Fargo claim was cancelled for lack of good, faith. Be fore this, however, he executed a mort gage to the Colonial and United States Mortgage Company. The compaaj did not notify the land office, and so had no hearing when the case was un der consideration, and it claims it has had no day in court. The secretary rules that it was not entitled to notice unless it had notified the local office of its interest in the land. As the entry man failed to show good faith, the company would have no claim, for the secretary holds that the transferee on a mortgage stands in the position of the entryman rather than that of a bona fide purchaser. Secretary Blaine has announced most positively that he will not be a candidate for nomination in 1892. At the same time he does not hesitate to declare that if his health had been as good two years ago as now he would not have written either the cablegram from Florence or the one sent after wards from Scotland to the Chicago convention. It is apparent from the general tone of Mr. Blaine's remarks that he does not expect either Cleve land or Harrison to be nominated.
