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 siuce.—[Boston Advertiser. 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. Wathiurnuu iautcr. Pn-m the Journal’s Correspondent. 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. opj AEG AINS R&!
