The Pigmy of the House.
Thomas V. Hardwick of the
Tenth Georgia district is the pig-
my of the house standing but five
reet one inch in his high-heeled
hoes and weighing 107 pounds.
When-seated in the house his toes
lust touch the floor and his head
'5 barely visible above the desk in
front. Besides being quite dimin-
utive he is very youthful in ap-
oearalce looking considerably
ounger than 31 years. Mr. Hard-
wick has however a vast amount
of energy and determination and
it is probable that he has a long
congressional career ahead of him.

Six Bits for Eggs.
From 60 to 75 cents a dozen for
eggs according to the ktnd of
neighborhood ore lives in is what
New-Yorkers are being asked these
days of food scarcity. Eggs have
been high all winter prices rang-
ing from 30 cents to 60 cents but
prevailing prces are startling. New
rork commission dealers never
lose an opportunity to make a cor-
ner" and the present little delay
in railroad traffic has given them
a-chance to get in a squeeze on eggs
ft is believed there is a plentiful
supply in storage as this is the time
of year when the storage houses
have a large supply on hand and
delay-in shipping hasn't lasted long
enough to materially affect the sup-
ply.' Bibles From a Senator.
One day recently the clerks m
Senator Scott's committee room
were busy packing up and shipping
Bibles and New Testaments to
West Virginia. The senator had
received a very pathetic letter from
ji school teacher in his state saying
that she was unable to secure cop-
ies of the Scriptures and that the
community was sadly in need of
this kind of literature. Senator
Scott immediately bought a supply
md had them sent. He said he did
not wish the people of his state to
wish for the good book.

Accounting for tht Knights.
When Henry Vrn Dyke accepted
the chair of English literature at
Princeton he gave a special course
in Sir Thorns Malory's "Morte
Arthure" and Tennyson's "Idyll's
of the Ging."
One day the conversation drifted
to the number of knights who com-
posed Arthur's "Round Table."
One of the seniors asked Dr. Van
Dyke how many he thought there
were. "About forty I think is
the number usually conceded" he
replied. "I understand there were
fifty' remonstrated another stu-
dent. "Well possibly there were'
replied the doctor; "but then there
must have been at least ten of tht
knights constantly on the road en
gaged in different quests and pleas-
i ures around King Arthur s realm.
