She Knew Mr. Simpson.

Two refined-looking ladies sat in tho members'gallery of tho House of Representatives picking out the vurious statesmen on the Hour with the aid of tho chart in tho Congressional Directory. A rather loudly attired young lady sauntered in and took a seat beside them. “Do tell me where Jerry Simpson is,” exclaimed the newcomer; “1 have hoard so much about him.” One of the ladies pointed out tho Alliance Kansan in the arena beneath. “Oh no, that isn't Jerry Simpson,” protested the loud young lady confidentially. “I would know him booausolhave seen his piotures.” “And 1 have known Mr. Simpson for some time myself,” replied tho lady. “Well, lie does not Boom to be such a budlooking man after nil,” tho vociferous young lauy commentod after a oaroful scrutiny. “I wonder if he brought his wife with him.” "I believe she is in tho city,” tho quiet lady assorted. “I would like to soe hor, too. They do say she isn’t so very awful. How do you supposed she likes all the tilings the papers say about him." And the fashionable maiden rattlod away sevorni conjectures in regnrds to Mrs. Simpson. “She doesn’t mind it,” responded the elder lady. “Do you know Mrs. Simpson, too?” Inquired tho young sightseer. “Very well,” remarked the other serenely. “I am Mrs. Simpson."
