r' A CRUEL CLIMAX. Prank Barr's Election Bet ana How It Worked Ont. It was several years ano, when Nashua, rf. H., was enjoying thc ex? citement of nn annual e tty election and, as waa natural, the followers of th? t#? political faiths were considerably WTQiJght U)>. Frauk Barr, then a railroad otllcial In Nashua, now general manager of the Boston ami Maine railroad, and hu brother, John ii. Barr, a prosperous Nashua hardware dealer, dropped Into the Parker House, Booton, ami tliere chauced to meet Qepgge Howers, a Nashua clothier, now dffil. The conver attka drifted to politics. Frank B'irr was sure the mau he favored would he elected mayor, while Howers, who was Of the opposite political faith, was COU" fident of the winning powers of his fa? vorite. "Bet you tho best dinner In Boston my niau wins," exclaimed Frank Barr. "I'll Just go you on that," replied Bowers, and the two shenik hands. "Don't I ring lu on that duiner?" asked John Barr. Both agreed that he should be one of the party, whereupon he suggested thats all parties concerned being In I Boston then and in one of the* best hotels and with good appetites, then I was the time to have the dinner. The j others thought lt would be better to walt for the election to decide the wager, but John Barr argued that there was no time like the present lie further suggested that he would settle for the dinners and when the bet was decided the loser could settle with him. The proposition was no sooner made thau accepted by the other two, and a private dining room was engaged and the order for the best dinner the house afforded was Knlged with Uie clerk. When the bill was called for at the j desk lt toe>k a little more thau $20 to I settle lt. "Mighty good dinner," said Johu ' Barr, "and it was nice of you fellows tO take me in. There is hut one thing < missing, and that is the cigars," ami , he walked toward the cigar counter, j Ile did not pick out any domestic brand, but called for the best. While he was absent Bowers said?; "Say, Frank. I am not so sure about i my man wluulug." "Neither am 1," replied Frauk Barr, j "Let's call the bet off, then." "All right," said the other. John Barr returned nnd passed around the Havanas. "What were you fellows laughing about and shaking hands for?" he asked. "Oh, nothing," replied his brother, "only we agreed to call the bet off." "Called the bet off: Well, then, who's going to pay for the dinners?" demand? ed John. "You have, haven't you?" inquired Frank.?Boston Herald. MAak the Mlns.na." John Burns, the English radical and reformer and a prominent member of King Edward's cabinet, was. during on election meeting. Interrogated by a sturdy voter who wanted to know just what John Burns, the cabinet minister at high pay, did with the enormous in? crease of wagM over the workman's modest wage. The new cabinet officer was equal to the occasion. "How do you spend lt, John?" roared the elector. "Ask the missus," said tho honest, self reliant John, and the crowd roared out Its applause. No room there for the microbe of divorce to get foothold. No focus for the stegomyla of distrust and Incompatibility. "Ask the missus" is a whole library of marital wisdom. If a man's wlfo knows where his money goes, it ls, in one thousand minus one case, spent for the best interests of the household. The man that can look his brother squarely in the face and say, "Ask the missus," ls no spendthrift, no bogus high roller, no gambler, no cheat. "Ask the missus," and her happy, hopeful, ; trustful, contented face will be answer enough of the faith she holds in the man who trusts and loves her. "Ask the missus" would put divorce lawyers out of business. "Ask the mis? sus" would keep the worthless foreign noblemen off the American grass. "Ask the missus" would build homes Buch only as the founders of the nation knew. Men of America, take the cue from John Burns. Make it possible to say to every Inquirer as to where the mon? ey goes, "Ask the missus."?Louisville Herald. England'. Panper Clergymen. No case can be more touching than that of the Impoverished clergyman in England, struggling to keep up soda! appearances, while he and his family want bread. Ten cases are reported of deaths of clergymen in the work? house, one of the number, we are told, having once been wealthy and spent large sums in charity. This takes place in a land where luxury is at its great? est height, where fabulous sums are giv? en for baubles and even for rare post? age stamps, and it is said that full $500,000 a day changes hands at bridge, While millions untold are expended on the forces required to purchase the mental luxury of thinking Imperially and to p.iy the coal of unnecessary wars. The benefit of the meals bill might at all events be extended from the parent whose child goes to school without breakfast to the clergyman whose sou, when warned of the din? ner hour, replies, "It is not my turn for dinner today." Think of the lot of the pauper clergyman's wife! Depio elation of tidies and of the rents of glebe, with increase of the cost of liv? ing, with overcrowding of this, ns of the other learned professions, is no doubt the Immediate cause, but if the faith of the people in the doctrine were unshaken the preacher and his family would hardly be left to starve.-Toron? to Sun. BRITISH BRIEFS. England's first representative parlia? ment assembled In 1265. Caesar conquered Britain in the year 65 B. C. The Roman occupation con? tinued nearly 500 years, or until 410 A.D. In 1079 was passed the habeas cor? pus act, which, along with the right of trial by jury, ls the great bulwark of Anglo-Saxon liberty. The great plague was introduced into London In 1G04 by bales of cotton Im? ported from Holland; 100,000 persons succumbed to the disease In one year. Cromwell's long parliament assem? bled in 1040; Charles I. was beheaded Jan. 30, 104G, und Cromwell became lord protector In 1053. In 1880 the Stuarts were restored to the throne.

Thc desperate Intrepidity :lIul war" like heroism e?f the early settlers of Il? linois are illustrated ly an Incident narrated in "Hlstoi i ? Illinois." Tbe eariy days we-re a time of hardship, danger and death. Every forest covert, every tuft "I' prairie grass, might bide some skulking red enemy. Among the eurly frontiersmen "as a Captain Whiteside, whose name became a ter? ror among ihe Kickapoo*. A party ol' fourteen white men led by Whiteside made an attack upon an en* campmont ol' Indians ol' greatly supe? rior force', only one" Iud lan escaped. During the heal e>f the skirmish Cap? tain Whiteside was -severely wounded, he thought mortally, having received a shot In the side As he fell he calle! : > his sons to ' keep e>n lighting and liol to yield an Inch of ground or pen,iii the savages e to touch his body.

' With that daring ami disregard for l pain so often characteristic of border * men he Immediately whipped out his ' knife, gashed (he skin, extracted tlie | ' ball aud held it up. crying: I * "You're not dead yet, father!" ' The old man leaped to bis feet, re- ( newed the tight and bore his full part * to the end. Many such Instances of ' heroism distinguished the men who In ' those days of peril were called upon to . 1 defend the frontiers ot' illinois. I ' EASILY SCARED.

"My knees promptly refused to work. I could not move a muscle, and so with all the British pluck and courage of which we have read so much I calmly resigned myself. By ibis time the hide? ous beauty had advanced to within ten : yards of Ita prey, when, to my surprise, the two boys accompanying me hastily ? dismantled themselves of all baggage, and, with all muscles stretched, ready j for a sprint, they stood their ground j and, without moving an Inch, began to whistle for all they were worth. "Quickly noting the satisfactory re- j suit of the maneuver, I blew my whistle hastily and with good will. The shrill notes struck strangely on the | untutorcxl ear of die rhino, for he promptly turned tail and fled." A Short Cut. "There goes a man," observed a steamship agent as he directed atten? tion to a surly looking individual who bad just engagetl passage for Europe, "whose efforts are devoted to con? structing short cuts In business meth? ods and In eliminating all time con? suming men and their propositions from his busy existence. Ile is a man of very few words. Some years ago this gentleman crossed the ocean and had a very unpleasant trip. One morn? ing a sympathetic passenger offered him a lemon, expressing a sincere wish that lt would give relief. The pale traveler seized tlie lemon, hurled it viciously into the ocean and growled: " 'This ls a quicker way than the other.' "?New York Times. An (Mil Moorish Cantons. As n people the Moors are already well Inclined to anything that gilds life, a correspondent says: "Nothing delights them more as a means of j agreeably spending an hour or two than squatting ou their heels In tho j streets or on some door stoop, gazing' at the passersby, exchanging compll- I j ments with their acquaintances.
