about a complete cure.” When troubled with

HIS LEG I3 PULLED.
That Is How a Southern Congressman
,Regards His Lot.
“Some people may think theta. con-
gressman saves a pile of money out of
his salary,” said a. well-known southern
congressman, who was talking- in :1
Washington Star reporter on the vicis-
situdes of running for office, and es-
pecially for congress, “but a man has to
be a small walking bank to accommoa
date the large number. of his ‘friends’
and supporters who need a. litt.le~'money
for some urgent matter. In my state
we have to make campaigns and appear
before the people at meetings. Well, .i
have never attended a meeting but that
I did not. have some kind of a. subscrip-
tion poked into my face. Somebody
wants something for a. church and for
missionary purposes or for helping
some fellow who has been burned out.
“You can’t avoid subscribing, and
have to head the list with the largest
. sum. Then about the time you think
you are through with having your leg
pulled some lazy fellow will walk up
.I had for .
and say: ‘How do, gineral?
quit my work fer come out and hear you
terday, and I thunk yer mout giv’ me
a. dollar.’ While you have the greatest
contempt for the man, you give him. the
dollar. _
“When you leave the meeting you are
out anywhere from $20 to $50. These
, are just a few instances of what a. candi-
date has to spend money for. After he
gets through thecampaign and is elected
he has to furnish every dead best from
his district who should happen to come
to Washington with money. I’1e ac-
tually given them money and railroad
. tickets to get home and have them go
back and 11 ork against me.”
IRONY OF FATE.
1t Pursues ’l‘wo Eminently Respectable
Ladies \Vho Could Not Agree.
Not long ago there were two ladies
stopping at the same boardlng house.
They were single ladies, be it said, and
both highly respectable. But for some
reason, says the Minneapolis Times,
known only ' to themselves, they
"couldn’t get. along,” and matters went
between them from bad to worse till
they “quit speaking.”
They both got tired, of course, living
in the same house with amort‘al enemy,
.1111 finally both determined to move.
Arrangements were made, and, as luck
would have it, both moved the same
day. Lady ‘No. 1 loaded up her house—
hold goods in the morning, and in the
afternoon a. dray pulled up and car-
iied 3.11 ay the trunk, shawlstraps, and
other effects of lady No.2.
Lady No. 1 was just composing her-
St 1f to view the surroundings of her
new ’lodging place, when a. wagon
stopped. at the front door and'began to
unload a. collect-ion of articles unmis-
takably feminine. .Shesized up the.
trunk and went 'do'wnstairs, filled with
a. horrible suspicion, to interviewthe
landlady.
I-Iei'l'suspicions were true. They had
moved‘ into the same house. .
a’l‘herc is~no more to the story. Of
course, they should have made up their
. differences and lived in peace and char-
But they did-not. Lady.
ity ever after.
No. 2 never got her trunk inside of the
, house.
DEAF MUTES DANCE.
A Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps
the Step for Them.
A social club of (leaf mutes exists in
Warsaw since 1883, and as there are
11 large number of persons thus afflict
ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the
club is doing very well. During the
last 11 eek of ("1rn11a1 the club arranged
:1 bail, an in order to enable the mem—
ber, t.o (Eince to the music in time, :1
very curious plan was adopted, which
piovcd quite efficient. A large papei
(1011 was rigged u 1 on the piano, and
the play-fer, also a deaf mute, who fu1-
nished the music, which, of course,
couldnot be heard by the members of
the club, used a. pedal to make fl 0
’ pziper figure move up and down in time
with the piece played. A large sign
alongside announced the character of
the dance, and thus it became possible
for the deaf mutes to enjoy the (illness
as if they were not afllicted with their
organic shortcomings. Besides that,
they were spared the agony of those
who could hear, for some wag had tam-
pered with the piano, which was fright-
fully out of time, even the player never
noticing that fact. The (leaf mutes
danced int-0 the early morning hours
and unanimously voted the entertain-
ment a magnificent success.
DEAD, YET ALIVE.
An Interesting Enoch Arden Case in an
English Court.
A' curious Enoch Arden case, in which
the lord justice of appeal had to inter-
vene in order to bring a man to life
again legally, has just been decided in
England. Forty-two years agon wo:m~
an married a. sailor in the British navy,
who desertedywent to the United
States and was not heard of again for
36 years. ' Six years after his disap-
pearance she married another man,
with whom she lived for 18 years, but
from whom she at last obtained a. judi-
cial separation and alimony in 1892.
The second husband pleaded that his
marriage was null, Ans her fiist hus—
band was alive at the time, but the jury
in the divorce court found thatthe 11111.11
was dead. Last year husband No. :3
discovered husband N o. 1, brought suit
again and produced him in court, where
he was fully identified, but the. judge
held that. as a. jury had declared he was
dead, he 'could not admit. that he was
alive and dismisscd‘the suit. The. appel-
late judges seem to be of his opinion,
for they refused to allow the appeal and
unnul the marriage on the ground of
the man's being alive till the second
husband had given security that he
would pay the woman an allowance.
