What Congressman Hart, of This District,
Wanted of Speaker Reed.
Thcro are several in these two
Kiroughswho have, no doubt, seen
Hoyt's saMrical comedy "A Texas
Steer," which in its portrayal shows
how one, "Maverick Brander," a
Texan, is elected to Congress and al
though a greenhorn of tho worst
type is hi a few days turned into a
man who knows what's what and
doesn't forget to ask for it.
Joseph J. Hart, tho memlier of
Congress from this district has
turned into a Maverick Brander and
if he shows as much assurance in his
futnrolifent the Capital as ho has
already shown since Congress con
vened he will got there a lit Trilby,
with lK)th feet.
He is not at all backward in ask
ing for things in Washington. One of
them is that ho buttonholed Sjioaker
Reed, mid in a confident manner
asked that autocrat of the House to
place him on tho Committees on
Naval Affairs, one of the most im
portatitcommittecs in the House and
ono that requires an intimate know
ledge of tho navy.
It is said that tho sieoker smiled
at tho request of Mr. Hart, but what
ho said is not reported. If our pre
sent Congressman keeps up at the
same rate he will introduce a bill for
the removal of tho Capitol to Milford
so as to lie near ins editorial sanctum.

Congressman Hart Dosen't Want Much.
Congressman Hart, the new mem
ber from this district, one of the tw
Democrats elected from this state
lost year, is not at all backward in
asking for things in Washington. Ho
asked Speaker Reed to put him on
the Committee on Naval Affairs, one
of the most important committees in
the House.and ono that requires
knowledge of the navy, and Reed is
said to have smiled. This prompts
the Hamsburg Telegraph to remark
"Mr. Hart s knowledge of naval af
fairs was gained while navigating
the trout streams of Pike county, or
handling the oar on a raft in Pike
county lumber streams," or sail
ing around with his friends c
Salt river.
Died While Waltlnf.
The Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania, has affirmed a judgement
of
the Mercer county court against the
Erie road, awarding tho heirs
Patrick Gallagher, of Sliaron. $4,650
for damages, by reason ofanooci

The man and his wife have died

Woman' Ways.
A domestic wife is a blessing, but
not if she is too domestic.
A wife is willing to be oliedient,
but she hates to bo considered a
slave.
When a woman sa3's no she wants
you to insist upon her saying yes.
When a woman, her soul should
always lie at least as well clad as her
body.
If a married woman commences as
a slave she will never regain her
freedom.
Very few married woman sin even
in thought when they have good
husbands.
A great many woman transfer to
their baby the love they once had
for their husband.
Even when a woman is in love she
never forgets to see that her hat is
on straight.
The woman who is a good cook
can always retain the respect of her
husband, if not his love.
A woman should be diary with
her kisses and caresses even to her
husband. We get tired even of
cunvus buck duck, if we have it
every day.
