Furthermore, thu (inestion of a parcels post with thu I'nited States is up for iliseii.isinn, and Mr. Chamberlain is know.ii to be deeply interested in Hint subject.

Senator Vest has told many stories, but one experience of his hat not reached the general reader. It oc curred many years ago, but the sen ator, telling it uot long ngo, was still chuckling. lilt his younger days Senator' Vest was an ardent hunter and uu author ity on the wild life of the prairies. He as living on the advance line of civili zation and his hume was known far and wide for its cordial und u lunula nt hospitulity. There Mr. Vest one day received a visit from a rich and f;imous hunter from Loudon who brought a letter of introduction from a friend living in the Knglish capital. And the KnglUhman had brought with him his own hunting dogs. Senator Ve&t had dogs of his own and lie could not re press bis surprise, but the L'nglishmuu asked him to wait and see. They drove for many miles and finally the wagon was left in care of the men, and -Mr. Vest and the Knglishman started out onthequest. They did well. The dogs of the Knglislnnnn were nut worth much, but the Missouri breed gave ex cellent sporU "Just wait and p'ne my dogs a chance," declared the Knglishman. "All they need is a stronger scent." "They got it," said the senator, tell ing the story to n New York Sun man. "Yes, they got it. Some distance away was a little hill and in the siile of the little-hill were little holes. Sud denly the Knglish tun n's ting got the stronger scent and started for t lie lit tle hill with the little holes. . " 'Call hem back,' 1 shouted to the Knglish iha n. "'Oh, no,' he replied. 'Now lhey'e got it. Now they've got it.'" " 'They will get it if they don't keep nwny from there,' 1 answered. I'.ut with all I could do I could not call him ! back. He would not listen and he got so excited that he started on a run af l ter his dogs. I "Well, it was my time to he moving, ; too, for 1 knew what was coming; so JOKE WAS ON DOCTOR.

Curry, special ambas sador to Spain, tells the following an ecdote, says Harper's Magazine: In the discharge of his duties in promoting the cause of education he has been frequently called upon to address the pupils of schools he has been visiting. On one occasion he was at a rural school, and the usual address was expected at the close of the exercises. The children went DR. J. L. M. CURRY. (Noted Southern Educator, Politician and Publicist.) through a number of calisthenic exer cises, which were, probably, Bome what elaborated in honor of the dis tinguished visitor, and then came t ho doctor's speech. Thinking that it wus a favorable, occasion to impress upon his youthful auditors the importance of drill and practice, the doctor, after expressing ta ylMsw that the exercises had given him, told the children that they had done far bet ter titan he could have done, and then asked: "Can some one of you tell me why it is that I cannot do these calisthen to exercises aa well as you have dona them?" After on instant's pause a small hand went up, and, on receiving . aa encouraging word from the doctor. a little boy stood up and said: " 'Cause you are old and stiff in the fints" which was not" exactly the answer either expected or desired. for Infants and Children.

I called my dogs and made for the wagon as fast n the good Lord would let me. Just as I crawled in 1 turned and saw the show, and I never pitied unybody in my life as much us I did that Knglishman with the dogs that wanted a stronger scent. Out of the holes came little animals and you never saw such a mix up In your life. The dogs ran for the Knglishman and jumped around him for protection. Then the Knglishman tried to get awny from the dogs for protection, too, und the whole combination started for the wagon. "Put the whip to the horses," I t.ld my man, 'and don't let them get within half a mile of us.'" "Hi, there, wait for nic!' cried the Englishman. "'Keep your distance,' I responded, and to the driver I said, 'Whip 'em up.' So we went mile after mile over that I nrnirle. T rilMed the Kno-lishninn frnin the bottom of my heart, hut there are times when pity must not get too close. I kept him in sight so that he should not miss the way, but he hnd to walk. J Once in a whhe he would run ns though I would nllow him to catch up with the wagon, but every time he did we put on more speed. When we neiired town, I hnd to call back to him that his com pany would not he desirable for ot least 24 '-ours. I never saw him again." "And the little animals in the little holes ir the little hill, senator?" Mr. Vest wii asked. "Polecats," replied the senator. "The Knglishmnn hnd rend about quail livhig in holes in the prairie hills and he wouldn't change his mind when I tried to explain tilings to liim.

The bnby had been left in the yard, sleeping in its buggy, and the sister had been asked to go out and see to him. There the little girl saw a big rattlesnake coiled at the feet of the infant, and, realizing the danger, seized a broom and tried to kill the reptile.. The snake, dis turbed, darted at the little girl, coiled around the handle of the broom and slipped down it, striking Its fangs into the child's neck.
