Sam Wright, who trade with Quay

day to vote, to a man, for Frank Hol
lenback and Lew Jones, In the First

HIS MODESTY.
Walter Wellman's Washington Letter.
A good story Is told here about a Demo-
cratf.c congressman who, In the fifty-first
or Reed congress, hod a good deal to say.
though he was not much encouraged by
hla fellow members, and Is now for some
unknown reason compelled to live In the
retirement ef private station. Whea Tom
Reed was carrying everything before him.
counting quorums and silencing the fierc
est of the opposition as If he liked that
sort of amusement, this congressman be
came very much excited. In the cloak
room one day he addressed Crisp, Mills,
McMillan and a lot of leaders on that side
or tne nouse as follows: -"I'll tell you
what we have to do. This thing must be
stopped. We must organise an assault.
Four or Ave of the strongest, ablest, most
forcible and eloquent men on our aide
must attack Reed one after another. And
I am willing to be one of them myself."
The same gentleman, who was endowed
with the sort of conceit which gave him
many hours of unclouded happiness, waa
called upon at a dinner given In honor of
the completion of the monument to the
late Senator Shields to make a few re
marks. He talked for a long time, the
most striking feature of his discourse
being the following: "It was a fortunate
thing that I occupied a seat In the house.
I was I who Introduced the bill making
appropriation for this statue. When God
in His infinite wisdom made me a member
of congress He secured tho erection of
this noble monument"

EATING CROW.
In this country "eating crow" Is a prac
tice confined to unsuccessful politicians,
but It appears that In the guise of plover
these blackbirds have been eagerly de
voured by epicures in . Germany. The
Boston Traveler learns that two months
ago, plover being unusually scarce in the
woods around Wittenberg, where each
spring thousands of those delicious birds
are snared for the gormets In the large
cities, a speculative dealer lilt upon the
plan of trying young crows As a substl.
tute. It was found that crow whea
young, Inexperienced and well-fed, is a
dainty morsel, the flesh white and tender
and of fine flavor. During the last weiks

CLEVERLY ANSWERED.
Some curious replies to the questions of
examiners find their way to the pension
office. According to the Washington cor
respondent of the Kansas City Times, an
applicant who 'was asked "when and
where and how he contracted senile de
bility" the other day forwarded this anT
davit: "1 cannot say precisely when and
where and how I contracted senile de
blllty. It haa come on gradually. 1
seemed free from it at my birth, yet If I
had not been born so far back as I was
then I wonld not be suffering from it so
seriously as now. The . most eminent au
thorities are agreed that old age Is of
permanent character, and I begin to feel
certain that my chances for becoming
younger are exceedingly slim. In my
case senile debility Is not due to vicious
habits, yet I have a habit of getting older
each day. I have been infirm from age
ever since I began to grow old. .
The Duke of Marlborough said that he
owed his success ns mvth his elegant
deportment as to his talents.
