It is to be announced —let the day be blessed—that Uncle Joe is to be vouchsafed an undisturbed sitting in his high chair unto the end of the session. Prevailed over by the charitable Taft, the wicked insurgents have covenanted not to throw him out, but let him expire by the natural sources upon which congress runs. Uncle Joe it going back to his Danville nephews and nieces there to stand for a 're-election. It is hardly to be doubted that they will treat their venerable Nunky Joe with kindness and affectionate regard. But there will be stop. Congress no more for him will hold the honors -of the puissant and the distinctions of the mighty. He will not sit upon his omnipotent throne to receive the cringing suit for favor by the humbled and the prostrate. He will take a plain seat and when he wants to be heard he will, as Is the erstwhile days when his glory was undawned, respectfully rise and say "Mr. Speaker.” Whereupon he may be heard, and he may not be heard. Uncle Joe he long may be, but he is to become merely the common or garden variety of statesmen. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. goldeFjubilee (Continued trom page 1) quence the membership decreased.

Beside us in our seeking after pleasure, Through all our restless striving after fame; Through all our search for worldly gains and treasure, There walketh one whom no man likes to name. Silently he follows, veiled of form and feature. Indifferent if we sorrow or rejoice. Yet that day comes when every living. creature Must look upon his face and hear his voice. When that day comes to you, and Death, unmasking, Shall bar your path, and say, "Behold the end.” — What are the questions that he will be asking About your past? Have yon considered friend? I think he will not chide you for your sinning. Nor for your creeds or dogmas will he care; He will but ask: "From your life's first beginning How many burdens have you helped to bear!” —Ex■"Next Thursday I will be five and twenty-three, So come and take luncheon with me,” Was the original little couplet on the Invitations issued the first of the week by Mrs. John Stewart, corner Fifth and Marshall streets to twelve ladies for her birthday luncheon of Thursday evening.
