paper showed by her manner that she
had found something that interested
her, :
“Here's a rather unique idea,” she
said at length. “The writer undertakes to show that personal beauty is a
letter of credit the world over.”
Her “dearest friend” glanced meaningly at the manufactured complexion.
of the girl with the paper, shrugged her
shoulders, and suggested:
“If you tried to pass yours, dear, you
would-surely be arrested for forgery.”

embarrassment.
CURRENCY LEG'SLATION.
The course of currency legislation in
Congress is now being watched” witb
great interest. The probability thai
the Republican claiming a seat from
Oregon in the Senate is not to be permitted to occupy that seat makes it
somewhat uncertain as to whether the
Republicans will be able to control th:
Senate in the matter of financial legislation. It is, however, thought that s
sufficient number of sound-money
Democrats may be found to co-operate
with the Republicans, and if this hop:
shall be realized, the currency questio::
can be quickly settled by the adoption
by members of that party of a system
based upon the proposition laid dow:
by President McKinley in his message
to, Congress, in which he proposed the
retention in the Treasury of the paper
money which is redeemed in gold, and
the issuance of additional nationa)
bank circulation by permitting banks
to increase their notes up to the pai
* value of the bonds deposited as securit}
for circulation.”
HE WOULD NOT SEE IT.
The Omaha World-Herald, Mr
Bryan’s personal organ, faithfully follows the cue indicated by that states
man to the effect that there are still no
signs of prosperity in the country
This is one trouble which Mr. Hearst of
the New York Journal, which lauded
Bryan to the skies in 1896,.and som:
other “traitors,” find-with the ex-eandi
date: that he cannot see the prosperity
aout which everybody else is talking
It is surprising how men will bothe
about such a little thing as prosperity
coming toa few score million people.
It is a fact that the Nebraska exposition
is making prosperity its great feature,
and Nebraska, too, is Mr. Bryan’s own
State; but then such little things as
these.are hardly worth the notice cf
mep go philanthropicas to devote their
entire time to visiting other countrie:
and studying their economic problem:
for the sole purpose of benefiting the
people of their own land.
Two characteristic stories of Ton
Reed’s quickness at repartee are tolé
iu-The Atlantic. When as Speaker be
was counting a quoram inthe Hous:
one angry Demecrat strode down th
aisle, exclaiming, “How do you know]
am present?’ Reed replied: “Does
the gentleman deny that he is present!’
A prosy Democratic member, in th
course of a debate, remarked that he
would rather be right than be President.
“Don’t be alarmed,” Reed replied. “You
will: never be either.”

SENATOR JONES’ LUCK.
Onexpected Find of a Match in a Nevada
; Canyon.
. Senator Jones, of Nevada, according
to the Rochester Times, told the fo!lowing sicry of the finding of a match
on a gold-hunting trip in early days
to a Washington reporter:
“We sct out one day to go up a great
canyon,” says the senator, “and we
found it most fatiguing, for there was
no road. Six miles of travel in the
canyon was equal to 25 on the level.
One of my deputies was with me. At
noon we had gone about half our journey, and we stopped to rest. I was very
fond of smoking and pulled out my
pipe, intending to take a smoke. 1
oaded up and then reached for a match,
There was not one in my pocket. My
deputy was not a smoker, and he did
not carry matches. I was almost, dying for a smoke. “As I was looking
uround almost despairingly I saw a
match lying on the ground right beside
a little stréam that ran through the
canyon. I was almost frightened at
the sight of it in such an out-of-theway place, I picked it up, saying to
myself: ‘Of course, it won't light. “It
has been lying in the wet sand a long
time, and I can’t expect it to light.’
But it did light, and I had my smoke.
I never knew a piece of luck to beat
s
my life in which good fortune. has
stood by me, but it is one of the
strangest.”
