attempted to carry out a similarly
high-handed policy. They not only
limited the strength of the Army to
low figure, but presumed to say in
an appropriation bill where the in
fantry and cavalry should be station
ed. The Republicans naturally re-
fused to grant this unconstitutional
demand. The result was that, after
a sharp conflict, the Democrats were
defeated and the Army bill passed
without the offensive amendments
with which it had been Overlaid by
the dominant party. People at a
distance from Washington were sur
prised at this apparent surrender of
the Democrats, who were in a ma
iority in the House. Then it came
out that the Democrats did not vote
their full strength. Democratic
newspapers charged that their mem
bers were unfaithful to their trusts.
When Congress assembled last week
another partisan measure was intro
duced-a series of resolutions to
give sort of rowing commission to all
the standing committees of the
House to hunt for frauds and obli-
quIties in the performance of official
duty. They were clothed with in
quisitorial and extraordinary powers.
This scheme failed for the reason
that so many Democrats were classed
as "absent and not voting" but there
was this singularity about it, those
who voted on the Army bill did not,
as rule, vote on these resolutions
of Mr.. Wood of New York. This
makes a rather sad showing of party
drill, and looks very much as if ad-
versity was more wholesome condi-
tion FOR the party than that degree
of prosperity which fosters thought
lessness and ind ference, or as is in
timated from Democratic quarters,
the bibulous indulgences of the par
ty become a little too fervent and
frequent for party efficiency and
welfare.

The Chief sinnerg-In Theory.

Wherever Mark went, says ed
ward Eggleston in his new serial
"Roxy," he was successful, and ev-
erybody praised him. Mrs. Hanks,
Roxy's well-to-do aunt, held forth to
Jemima upon the admirable ability OF
the young man, and his great good
ness and self sacrifice in ''laying all
his advantages of talent, and wealth,
and prospects at the foot of the
CROSS"
81 tell you what l think, Henri
ette," replied Jemima, with hel
customary freedom-"I think that's
all fol-de-rol and twaddle-de-dee.
here she set her iron down with EN-
phasis and raised her Redeemed face
from her work, wiping the perSpira-
ton away with her apron. 81 think
it's all nonsense for the brethren and
sisters to talk that way, jest like as
eff Mark had conferred an awful fa-
Vor on his Creator in lendin' Him
his encouragement. Do you think
it's sech great thing to be Col.
Benamy's son and a member of the
Injeany Legislator, that God must
feel nightly obleeged to Mark Ben
amy for bein' so kind as to let him
save his immortal soul? Now, ]
don't" and she began to shove her
iron again. "You"ll all spile Mark
by settin' him up on a spinacle of
the temple" she added, as she
paused a moment to stretch out a
shirt sleeve preparatory to ironing it.
"Jemima," said Mrs. Hanks, it's
wicked to talk that way. You are
always making fun of the gospel.
Pm sure Marks very humble. He
calls himself the chief of sinners"
81 s'pose he does. That's nice to
set himself up alongside of Paul and
say: fSee Paul and me was both
great sinners" That makes you
think he's a goin' to be ike Paul in
preachin.' But s'pose one of the
brethren-Brother Dale, now-was
to say: "Brother Benamy, you're
the biggest sinner in town. You're
wuss an old Gatlin that went to the
penitsnshary, an an you're wuss'n
Bob Cramps that was hung" Dye
think he'd say Amen, that's fact?
but eff bein' the chief of sinners
means anything, that's what ii
means" ;"
"Jemima, I tell you, you're wick
ed. It's right to kill the fatted cali
for the returned prodigal."
"Oh, yes, 1 know" and Jemima
wiped her face again. FBut
wouldn't kill all the the calves OF
the place and then begin on the
ye'rlin so as to make him think il
was nice thing to be a prodigal
I'd be afraid the scamp would gc

And here Jemima broke out with
her favorite verse:

The Democrats of the Represent
ative body in Congress, are not as
stiff in the backbone as it was ex-
pected they would be. Or perhaps
it may be said with more accuracy
and force, that they have too much
backbone to follow party lead sub
missively, and therefore, are a disap-
pointment to their brethren-putting
them in a sort of broken-tooth or
foot out Of joint situation. When
they were IN the minority, there was
no trouble in showing a solid front
and making the best of their strength
polling out their last man. This
was the case especially under the
lead of Vallandingham, Pendleton,
&c. Thus in the days of the Rebel
lion, when Congress was asked for
any measure for sustaining the Gov
ernment in its days of trial, such for
instance, as enforcing confScation,
or authorizing draft, they were ar
rsyed in solid phalanx, in opposition.
So when the step for enrolling the
black man as a soldier for the de-
Tense of the Republic, they were as
one man in favor of the South.
Now that the party has the House,
that compactnesS of organization
seems TO have suffered in its cohe-
siveness, and the party find it troub-
lesome to carry some of its partisan
measures. This was made somewhat
conspicuous when the Army appro-
priation bill was up early in the ses-
sion. The Army having been, by the
previous session, left without sup
port unless il could be ordered about
as the House might direct, no appro-
priation was made. When the pres
ent Congress met, at its first session,
the Democrats, being in majority,

It Was His First.

He was young, and it was his
first mustache. And yet, such was
the amount of tender care and So
licitude that he had expended upon
it, that he had learned to regard it
as of Cyclopean proportions. He
went into a crockery store, and said
to the proprietor:
ga mustache cup, please"
''Certainly, sir" responded the
proprietor, with alacrity; what
style does he prefer"
"It's for myself" returned the
young man, frowning slightly.
"Eh?" exclaimed the proprietor,
in great surprise, staring at the GUS
toner.
81 want it for myself" repeated
the young man, sharply.
The proprietor turned away in a
dazed manner, and in his excess
i've bewiiderment handed down a
gilt edged cup bearing the inscrip-
ton, ''To my child" The young
man looked at it in tone of speech
less astonishment, and shot out of
the door. Rockla,1d Courier.

Wintering Bees.


At a recent meeting of the Ma
tional Bee Keepers Association in
New York City, as reported in the
RurdL Neao Yorker, Mr.. J. N. King
said that in his opinion, one of the
principal causes of the loss of bees
IN the wintering, was their being
put into winter quarters supplied al
most entirely with honey gathered
in September and October, from
buckwheat, the aster, ETC.; that
many of these fall blossoms secrete
honey containing acids that are in
furious to bees. His remedy was
for bee-keepers to remove frames of
comb filled with honey in June and
July, and keep them to replace those
combs filled in the fall. The fall
honey, he said, would be very good
to supply to the bees in the spring.
Rather than use fall honey for win.
tering bees, he would prefer using q
syrup made af two parts of the best
cofee-sugar to one part of pure soft
water, boiled FIVE minutes to DESTROY
the grain of the sugar; then add q
small quantity of salicylic acid. He
formerly had wintered bees, in 8
double-walled brick building, with
a dead air space between the walls
They wintered well, but suffered ter
ribly in the spring. He kept the
temperature at about forty degrees
above zero. In the latter part Of
February the bees would begin t.
breed, and by the time they were
set out upon their summer stands
they would have a good supply o.
brood in all stages of development
Lately he has wiRtered his bees OF
the summer stands well packed il
absorbing material" and seldom
looses stock.

William Cullen Bryant.

The venerable poet and journal
list, William Cullen Bryant, whose
death June 10Th is reported, was
born at Cummington, Massachu-
sets, in 1894. At the early age of
ten years he PUBLISHED some Latin
TRANSACTIONS which attracted at
tention, aud three years later he
wrote "The Embargo" a political
poem. In 1912 he composed his
"Thanatopsis," which gave bin
considerable reputation, and is still
regarded by most of his admirers
rs the finest of his productions.
Three years later he was admitted
to the bar, and for the succeeding
ten years he devoted himself to its
practice, obtaining fair measure
Of success. The world of letters
was, however, more congenial TO
him than that Of litigation, and in
1926 be established the New York
Review. A year later he became
political editor Of the New York
Evening Post, ard since then-a
period of more than fifty years-he
has been identified with that Jour-
nal, having been, for much of the
time, the chief editor and the con-
trolling force which directed it. In
1882 the first collected edition of
Mr.. Bryant's poems was published,
and met with great favor. It's pub
LEGATION here was followed by a
publication in England, where IL
attracted much attention aud evok-
ed great admiration. Mr.. Byrant
visited Europe several times, and
embodied some of the results of
his observations in an interesting
work. Although he gave promise
in early life Of being very prolific
rs poet, he did not bear out his
early promise in this respect, fact
probably due to his activity in other
pursuits. Thus he was q warm
