Some punster played quite a
joke on Gov. Gordon a week or
so back. Be addressed a let
ter and inclosed a Confederate
$lO bill to a veteran soldier
and old friend of Gov. Gordon,
who bad previously indulged
on the governor to push his
claims for a pension. 'i’ll 3 gov
ernor’s name was forged to the
letter. The old soldier came
to the capital oh a high horse
to see what it meant. When
lie left the governor was still
on a higher horse to find out
the guilty forger.

A Stale street business man
sent a boy on an errand nut,
long ago, and the fleet looted
youth look a remarkably long
|time about coming and going,
j When he finally returned, how
(ever, he walked quite jauntily
over to where the merchant sat
and laid a note on tlie desk.
The latter merely looked blank
Jv at the youth and inquired
what he wanted. “I'm the boy
sir.” What boy? inquired the
merchant. “Why, the office
bay. The boy you sent up to
the bank.” His tormentor look
ed at him steadily over his
glasses, and then, with a bland
smile of recognition, said, Why
so, it is. But how you have
changed since I saw you last!
The office boy evidently appre
ciated the sarcasm. Lie has
been a model of dispatch ever

A Bad Temper.
A boy who does not control
his temper is the slave of a cru
el master. The wise man says:
“lie that hath no rale over his
own spirit is like a city broken
down and without wails,” He
is in a defenseless condition.
The enemy runs over such a
city and sacks it without let or
hindrance. It is no harm to
have a hot temper and a hasty
spirit if they are kept under
control. The sin lies in not
controling them.
Joseph Cozby, called Joe for
short, was one of the mogt hot
tempered boys I ever knew.
He got angry at every little
thing. His temper ran away
with him at all times, and for
the most trival causes.
A bad temper grows rapidly
by the food upon which it feeds.
It soon gets to be a giant in ev
en small boys. By tiie time
Joe Cozby was fifteen years old
there was scarcely anything of
him but his temper. It stood
up above him raid stuck out
on all sides of him. Hie boys
of the neighborhood despised
Joe; and it was no great won
der, for he was truly despis
a'ole. Whan he sought to put
wood on the fire, and the tengs
crossed—a most vexatious
tiling—he would rave and
stamp and jerk and throw the
tong? down on the floor and
stamp them with his feet. At
such times he looked like a
fool, which he was. When
plowing in the field he was al
ways yelling at the horse, a
good animal, which, by the
way, had more sense about
plowing than Joe had. Any
where within a half mile of the
field you could hear Jo rav
ing and storming at the pa
tient ohl horse. If the plow
struck a root and the handles
gave Joe a punch in the breas:,
which is always likely to occur
in anew ground field, Joe’s
temper knew no bounds, lie
would gather up a stick and
beat and bang the plow, as it
that would do any good. Joe
quarrelled so much that he fell
into a quarrelling, whining'
tone whenever lie spoke. lie
had had a fine, musical roice;
but these qualities had now de
parted on account of his tem
per.
About the time ef which we
write, Joe went out into the
beautiful prairies of Mississip
pi in company with other boys
—not cow boys—however—to
look after some cattle. Joe was
riding an old mule, and the
mule had the fault or mis for
tune of stumbling at a fearful
rate This kept Jee in a rage.
IJo howled and screamed at tho
mule, beat it with a stink and
jerked it until tho poor mule's
mouth was bleeding profusely,
lie got out liis knife once or
twice and stuck it into tire
mule, though the mule’s thick
hide was nearly proof against
a dull knife. This only made
matters worse. 1 veiiiy be
lieve the nude would have quit
stumbling if he could have done
so. He soon got so that vvliea
he stumbled lie would just
throw up ids head and stop
short, and this would, general
ly bring Joe's head and the
mule’s in com act. and then
the latter would dodge and try
to run. At last when the mule
made an extra big blunder and
got, his head up, Joe caught one
of the mule’s long ears in both
hands, and putting it between
his teeth bit it nearly off. The
old mule was equal to the emer
gency, however, and quick as
thought jerked his head to the
ground, humped his hack and
elevated his hoofs at angle of
forty-live degrees, and sent Jce
Cozby, like a pair of winding
blades, about twenty feet to
the front. The fall knocked
the breath out of him and stunn
ed hnn for a time, and the
mule scampered offiuto the tall
grass.
When Joe came to. he look
ed around and asked, “Whar’s
my mule.”
That fall did Joe an immense
amount of good. From that
time he began to haul in his
temper, and in a year or two
had it under good control. He
was master of hints ill’ then
and a good ruler of men an!
mules.
Now boys, if you want to
manage men or nrules, learn
how to manage yourselves.
You can not be rulers while you
are slaves to your appetites
and passions. Gilderoy.

Washington, March24.—The
members of the majority of the
ways and means committee are
leading a hard life since the
premature publication of their
report to the House of the tar
iff bill. Every industry that is
unfavorably affected lias its
lobbying friends either in
Washington oren route to pro
test. The committee room is
besieged by emphatic pleaders
who announce that if this or
the ether thing isn’t undone,
the republican party will be*.
The biggest howl comes from
tiie New England shore men
who threaten to present an
enormous petition against tak
ing hides from the free list.
The hide men are quite rsloud
in their appeals that they must
be protected against foreign
competition. As between the
divided interests of the men on
the western farm who will be
relieved of an extra tax on
ready made shoes, while he
trudges to market with a calf’s
hide that will have to come in
to competition with the pauper
hides of Europe, and the clash
ing interests of the hide men
and the shoe manufacturer,
there seems to b® a chance for
fine congressional deliberation.
The pension appropropria
tion bill, involving tiie expend
iture of $98,500,000, passed the
House on Friday, There was
no attempt at opposition furth
er than few remarks about tho
c ring need of reform in tire
Pension Bureau and a few
words from Mr. Allan, mildly
protesting against the growth
of the pension system. But
there were more political
st imp speeches than the House
has heard for many n day. The
entire gamut of of pension leg
isiatiou was sounded. Gener
al Grosvenor, who can be nl
ways trusted for extremely par
tizan speeches, led off for the
republicans, while Gen. Spiuo
j la took upon himself tho task
of showing that the democrat-
I
ic party was the only and orig
inal, simon-pure, all wool friend
ol the soldier. Then the
debate degenerated into a free
light, in which the combatants
were badly disfigured- Gen.
Spinola lost his temper, and
wound up by reading a letter
irom Kansas to the effect that
prohibition and the republican
administration were failures in
that state. What bearing the*
missive had upon the pension
bill he did not say and the
question is still unsolved.
The House Committee on
the alcoholic liquor traffic will
favorably report a biil provid
ing for the appointment of five
commissioners by the presi
dent, who shall hold office not
longer than two years. The
bill is rather hazy as to the ex
act duties of this commission
er, as aside from inquiry into
the general character of intern
perance. In a general way it
is asked to ascertain first,
whether or noliutemperance is
an evil in this country, and sec
ond, how it can best be re
st rained. The inquiry on the
first point belongs properly to
the census bureau, if anywhere
The second inquiry may be of
some benefit.
Senators Stanford and Sher
man jostled each other in the
debate on public buildings Sat
urday. Sen. Sherman object
ed to giving San Diego $300,-
000 for a public building, while
Dayton, Ohio, only asked for
SIOO,OOO. Sen, Stanford ad
mitted that the towns were
about the same size, but added
that the building in San Diego
would contain, besides the post
office, the custom houses, inter
nal revenue office and land of-
fice. Tie Ohio senator was
not exactly satisfied, but the
bill went through all the same.
After occupying a large part
of the time of the senate ever
since December, the Biair edu
cational bill has been finally
buried by a vote that makes
its resurrection during the pres
ent session impossible. The
Blair bill has been a gigantic
monument to buncombe for the
last eight years. Apart from
Sen. Blair, who is a fond par
ent to every child of his legis
lative fancy, the bill has had
very few real friends among
the republican leaders. Its
doubtful constitutionality and
its unwieldy and visionary pro
visions long since condemned
it Still so long as there was a
democratic house and demo
cratic president, the senate
cheerfully and readily passed
it. Now that the entire ad
ministration is republican the
republican senate discovers a
change of heart, the bill is
abaudoned and after his eight
consecutive days speech, Sen,
Blair finds himself alone and
with the empty bag to hold.
