When a senator is elected in the United States he sends his credentials 4on in advance. They are presented by his colleague, read from the desk and filed in the secretary's office unless somex objection is raised, when they are sent to the committee on privileges and elections for examination. When a senator elect appears he steps quietly up to the clerk's desk, escorted by his colleague, takes an oath to support the constitution of the United States and is then led to a desk on the outer row, which his colleague has selected for him, where he receives the congratulations of his friends and introductions to the senators who care to make his acquaintance. He looks as wise as may be and waits for adjournment, when he goes to the secretary's of-1 fice, writes his autograph in a big red book for the use of the cashier and draws his mileage. In the English house of lords the proceedings are very different. A newly created peer enters that historic chamber in a robe of scarlet velvet trimmed with ermine, attended by two fellow peers, who act as his sponsors and escorted by the bla"k rod, as the sergeant-at-arms is iown, and the garter king at ar arrayed in a gorgeous tabard. T, procession marches around, making low bows to the empty throne and to the presiding officer, who is the lord high chancellor, from different parts of the gilded chamber, to which that imposing person gravely responds. When the new peer reaches the throne he kneels reverently and places upon Via nmnfr aVioip nrKoro hia maipatv lug VIUJ/UJ VllUlt y TTUV?V uiujvwy ought to be sitting, the patent of nobility he has received from his sovereign. He is then led to the woolsack, where the lord chancellor administers to him the oath. His sponsors next lead him to the proper bench, where he takes his seat for a moment. Then all three rise and bow three times at the vacant throne and three times to the presiding officer. The lord high chancellor then leaves the woolsack and comes down to shake hands with the new peer and welcome him to the house. The other peers come also and tender their congratulations. Bruce's Mother. The inspector was examining standard 1, and all the class had been specially told beforehand by their master, "Don't answer unless you are almost certain your answer is correct." History was the subject. "Now, tell me," said the inspector, "who was the mother of our great Scottish hero, Robert Bruce?" ' He pointed to the top boy, then around the class. There was no answer. Then at last the heart of the teacher of that class leaped with mi I ?l. ?i. j joy, me lk>y wuo wua btauuiu^ nu the very foot had held up his haud.

THE OBJECTION TO JOHWT IV Wo. P.allw Whan tk. Ait. uation Was Explained. The Gaylords and Nelsons have always been'neighbors and intimate friends. So when John Gaylord at twenty-foui\?as fine a fellow as ever was, began ft see what an altogether charming girl Molly Nelson was there was naturally no opposition. Indeed, as the "affair" became serious it was evident to all, including John and Molly themselves, that the parents concerned were delighted. As yet there was no formal announcement, but every oneknew that it was "understood," and evening after evening John talked to Molly on the front porch, often lingering after the other Nelsons had retired. The surprise of the two was consequently great when one evening a> shuffling step was heard in the hall, and presently Mr. Nelson appeared in slippers and dressing gown, candle in hand. Quite evidently he had gone to bed and then got up? JLUI ovuic |;uipvov. "Why, father, what is the matter?" Molly's cheeks were burning, as her father stood there hesitatingand eying John closely. John, leaning against the doorpost, where he had stood for the last fifteen minutes saying good night to Molly,, felt decidedly uncomfortable under Mr. Nelson's gaze. In fact, it was embarrassing all around. But John is a young man who goes straight to the point. "Is anything wrong, Mr. Nelson?" he began. "Am I to infer that you object to my being here ?" "Well, no, not exactly, John." Mr. Nelson coughed slightly, hesitating. 'It's only that mother and T would like to get a little sleep." "Father," cried Molly, quite indignant, "we couldn't have been disa 1 t T-l I 1 luruing any one: uuiui uas uetru talking very low"? "I don't ctoubt that, my dear/' Mr. Nelson was beginning to enjoy the situation. 'It's not that, nor have 1 any objection to John's talking to yon. In fact, I haven't an objection in the world to John nor to his conduct, except"? Mr. Nelson is open to suspicion of having prolonged the matter unnecessarily at this point. ?"except in one thing Mrs, Nelson and I do object seriously, my dear Jbhn, to the habit you seem to have formed this evening of leaning against the hell push. Our bedroom is next to the kitchen, and this continuous bell ringing is not conducive to repose." A Tabloid Fable. A man once collided with an op- j portunity. "Why don't you look where you are going ?" growled the man. "Don't you recognize me?" asked the opportunity pleasantly. "No, and I don't care to.

''There had been some trouble at a club between two young ifjfl men. One threw a glaslof wine 3 H into the other's face. J 3 other did not resent the insu.i as he should have done. When his fsr ij I ther heard of it he threatened to ^ M disinherit his son unless he whipped ,-9 the man who had -thrown the wine B in his face.
