A STRIKING CONTRAST. ~
Entering the United States Senate and
the House cf Lords.
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

"Well," my bov," said the inspector
encouragingly, "who was
she?" * . "Please,

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. You
have trodden on my corns," replied
the man as ho limped away.

Clovor Method by Which He 0loured
Some Evidence,
"I had to resort to a queer ruse
once to get an admission from Jt
man I was after,'* said a private de- ;
tective. ''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. The^father was a mem- "7?
ber of the same club, and he inad6;Jg|fl

fellow. Soon after this the son met 9 9
the man who had insulted him and '?9
whipped him. The fight occurred >JH
on a prominent street, and as two I fl
of the young man's friends were '? 9
with him at the time there was talk 9
of an action against them and hit u 9
father for conspiracy. Our agency <: fl
was retained to get the evidence9
needed. 9
"It was decided that it would be 4 9
necessary to get an admission from 91
the father of the young man who ,-9
.had made the assault. I was told to V>|9
get it. I tried many ways and failed. 9
fie did not know I was a detective. m
He had known me for a number of M
years, but thought I was engaged in % 9
other work. I had another plan tc get
from him what I wanted. I told : 9
him a New York publication was * 1
having the affair written up and il- - fl
lustrated.
"I said I had seen the picture of ; 1
the fight which had been prepared I
for it. He was pleased at the pub-. .M
licity that the fight was to get, for
the story of the affair at the dub >1*
had been printed, and he wanted it
known that his son had avenged the j VJJ
insult. I intimated that if he carbd > '-1
to see it I thought I could get him i ,1
the picture that had been prepared J -m
for publication. He was eager to v M
,fl had a friend, a newspaper art- "J|J|
ist, who made me a picture. He /J 1
made a faithful copy of the street -M'M
scene where the fight occurred, and ira
he made a fair likeness of the fig- J "|1
ures in it. vThe picture showed one
man stealing up behind another and A M
striking him from the rear. Behind '% Jj
him were two other men, who were ' -m
supposed to have accompanied him
