Spectators helped him on, however, nnd tho parado proceeded. When It was over we climbed several flights of stairs tei my rooms to get rid of the armor, which had become unbearable. As I walked I made as much noise- as a tinware peddler. When we reached the room I tried to lelleio my partner first, but found that the fasteners were patented and neither of us knew- the combination.

Not being able to attend regularly he was not always fully in formed in icgard to the work done by the loiUe, and his ready wit only saved him from commit ting glaring blunders on several occasions. Tilings were coming pretty easy for him, con sldcrinif his "lustiness" on some of the pre. scribed forms, when, unluckily for him, he ar rived tho other evening several minutes aftrr tho lodge had been opened. He found that the gentleman "on the door" svas not tho friend Ye expected to find there, but a stranger who took a "peek" at him through the loophole, shook his head and went away.

Cincinnati Knqulrr. Consul to Hades. pOIt SEVKKAI. years there was employed as messenger and doorkeeper for tho secretary of the navy a stalwart colored man wno was aequalnted with the personal appearance ot nearly every cfilccr In the navy who visited Washington during his stay "in office." He even came to consider himself quite a personage, and when officers returning from a long cruise would appear in person to report he was often a littlo too familiar to suit the tastes of some of tho more aesthetic of our tars. Usually, however, he received a good nitured response to his effuslra. greeting, and was generally regarded as harm less It not useful. Not long ago a giuff old sea dog, a comma dore, who had Just returned from foreign shores, thought he would have some fun with the col ored man and brother. In answer to the greet ing he received the commodore said: "What, John, are jou still here? Why, I thought jou wculd have been promoted ere this. It is a burring shame that you, who have served the government and the party so faithfully, should be left here. If I were you I would ask for a consuhhlp somewhere. You could get It callj-, and yen deserve it. You Just stick it out and jou'll get a chance to travel to' foreign countries. Insist on it." "Well, Mister Commodore, whar do y'u t'lnk I had cughter go!" "Whj-, Just tell the secretary that you want to be consul to Hades."' "Whar's that!" "Oh, that Is a nice warm place, where tho climate will just suit jou" Sure enough the colored brother went In to the secretary at the first 01 portunity. He stood there till Mr. Long noticed his expectant look and inquired what he could do for him. "Master Secretary, f'se tired of my Job; I don't like it." "What Is the nutter now?" asked the august ductal, not a little surprise-el. "I wants to be consul. Tho Republlcais hain't treated me right, nohow; Pse worked mighty hard fur the pahty down in Aiauam , and I wants to be consul." Scenting something. Long asked him whero he wanted to be consul to. "I thinks that I'd like pow'ful well to go to Hades, suh." "Hades!" ejaculated Long, laughing. "Vvho told jou about that!" "Commodo' ." "Well, vou go and find out Just where that is and come back, and if j-ou want to go there then I gi.ess we ran ti-e j-ou up," said the sec retarv, almost smothered with a desire to laugh. The- story got out somehow, us such stories do. Some sav'the secretaiy thought it too good to keep, but at any rate It was soon current throughout the department, and the doorkeeper, much chagrined at the laughter it caused, re signed, and is today slnvlng customers In a barber shop in a hotel not far from the capltoU Washington Post. An Excellent Liar. Pnr.Mni.NT" M'KISIXY had quite an amuslnj experience recently when he visited tho state war and navy departments shortly after 1 n m., when the departments clco. He and ssistant Secretary Cortetjou were out for a walk, but when they iciehed the street It began to rain The president suggested that they lake refuge in the state department. They passed into the building without eiuestlon and walked to Secretary Hay's office em the second floor. The secretary's office was closed, and the presl dent himself tried every door in the department. A messenger flrally informed 111cm m.i . vu clerks and officials had gone. "We'll call on Secretary Hoot In the war de pirtment," said the president, and they v-alked around tlw corridor. The same conditions confronted them there, and the nresident a a last chance went to the navy department to see Secretary Long. Hern thev walked into n reception-room and the presi dent, in telling the story to the cabinet, de tailed what transpired. "I met a bright young colored man, he said, "vvho asked me to be seated, and stated that ha would see whether or not the secretary was In. The messenger apparently did not recognixe me. We sat waiting tor several minutes, and tho messenger returned and said: Tin sorry, sir, but j-ou have Just missed Secretary Long. Ha only this minute left for home.' " The president then turned to Secretary Long with the remark: "Long, if I were you I would promote that messenger. He's the most excel lent liar I ever heard." Now- every messenger in the dpirtment is an. xlously awaiting a visit from the president. Pittsburg Dispatch. The Effect of Higher Criticism. REV. I)B.
