Why th# Tramp Got No Old Pant* at tha Chines* Legation. All the members of the oriental legations, with the exception of the Chinese, have cut their hair and adopted conventional male attire, says the Washington Post. The Chinese minister and his suit still cling to their draperies and wear upturned shoes and four cornered hats. A tramp who rang the bell at the Chinese legation not long ago asked if the gentleman of the house had a pair of old shoes to give away. "DOH'T WEAR 'MX," fUJD MIKE. Mike, the Irish bhtler and tutelary genius of the establishment, opened j the door. "No shoe," he said, "that would be of any use to you. This is the Chinese legation, man," he added, thinking that would be sufficient explanation for any seeker after castoff clothing. But it signified nothing to the tramp, who had never heard of the Chinese legation. "Maybe the gentleman has an old pair of pants," he began, pursuing his inquiries. Michael realized the futility of further explanation. "Don't wear 'em," he said briefly and closed the door. Devil Loses Scent. Representative Dayton of West Virginia says that a negro preacher in his state preaches the doctrine that no person can be saved unless dipped under the water. Recently the son of Ham illustrated one of his sermons by telling this: "Once I was out huntin' on the ! mountains, an' I saw a great big ; buck come bookerty-book-book down the mountain side. Dat buck was | followed by the dogs, bow-wow-wow, just as hard as they could clip it. i "De buck jumped into South ! branch, swimmed across, an' de dogs ome to de river an' barked an' barked, but dey done loss de trail, for de buck done loss de scent off his feet by jumpin' in de river. Den de dogs turn dere tails an' go back up de mountain side. "Jis so it am, brederen, wid us, whites an' blacks, Dimikrats and . 'Publicans. If we get in de water i an' wash our 6ins erway de debil loses scent of us an' we gits safe home ter glory an* choses our own musical harps to sing psalms."? Washington Times. The Turk's Reply. According to President Francis, the brightest thing said on the grounds during the St. Louis fair was uttered by one of the attendants at the Turkish mosque on the Pike when an elderly spinster fell into conversation with him and, showing the customary inAest in his spiritual welfare, remapped, "I hope you j go to church evpy Sunday like a Christian." irmo, madam," he replied. "I go epry day, like a Turk." This calls J^mind the story of the traveler in all^^mmedan country who asked his guide if it was safe to leave certain baggage exposed without a guard.

Richard Olnev was attacking that bellaose spirit which he has very cljKrly termed the war bacillus, in the course of his attack he had occasion to refer to a certain diplomat. Wh.ile Mr. Olney was speaking a man with bow legs passed and saluted. "There goes Hunt," said Mr. Olney. "A more bowlegged man never lived than he." Then, going back to the diplomat, he resumed: "The trouble with this diplomat is that he is all things to all men. With A he is a Methodist, with B he is a Prohibitionist, with C he is a Presbyterian and, by Jove, with Hunt he is Wvdegged."?Baltimore Herald. LAST HOPE VANISHED.
