ing the cookies of the heart" He says
that in the counties Of Kent and Essex,
England, the phrase is commonly used and
is invariably applied to the pleasures OF
eating and drinking. When he was a
schoolboy Mr.. Clarke heard it explained
that the right and left auricles Of the heart
were supposed to resemble In appearance
the cookie or shellfish found in that Part
of the kingdom; from this lancied resem-
blance arose the phrase "cockles Of the
heart" meaning the two shell-like diyis-
ions, or auricles, of the heart. 49," says
Mr.. Clarke, "upon taking drink or upon
feasting on highly spiced Yiands, the
cookies of the heart received the first pleas
urable impression, and so it was that the
whole heart was speedy set aglow."-

sister, with great emphasis and delbera-

I drew long breath of Surprise and

truth.
"She wants to see you about the house, !"
continued Deborah, in her most matter-of'

purchased the house which she was SO

Where "Tecump" Got His Name.

Gen. Sherman's middle name, "Tecum-
seh," he owes to his father, wao had re-
moved to Ohio just before the war Of 1919
with the British and Indians, and, in
spite of Indian depredations, seems to
have caught fancy for the great chief Of
the Shawnees." In the new edition Of his
life, Gen. Sherman says that his father
had tried for years to get one Of his sons
named "Tecumseh," but that he did not
succeed until his mother had named son
for each of her brothers. Then she ran
out of names, and Judge Sherman had his

The PrOtectionisls' Victory.
WILLIAM R. MORRISON,
LEADER OF THE TARIFF EEFoRMERs IN
THE 49TH, DEFEATED FOR HE 50rH
CONGRESS-

The defeat Of William r. Morrison, of
Illinois, is the most remarkable result
OF the political contests this November
MIR. Morrison, leader of the TaIi.f re-
form men in the present Congress, is
counted among the beaten candidates
for seat In the House OF Representa-
tlves. Free traders and those more or
less In sympathy with their views feel
acutely the defeat Of their leader in the
House of Representatives at Washing
ton; and Protectionlsts, on the other
hand, are happy In the contemplation
OF their unexpected victory Less than
two weeks before election there seemed
to be no chance that the Protectionist
candidate could win. His success was
due to the appearance on the field Of
dispute, namely the eighteenth district
OF Illinois, OF John Jarrett, ex- Presi-
dent OF the Amalgamated Association
OF Iron and Steel " orkers, who claimed
to be the representative of the Work
ingmen's Tariff Club of Pittsburg,
Penn. He worked with great energy
to procure the defeat of Mr. Morrison,
In the interests of Protection, and his
success is the leading fact in domestic
politics at the present tim.
The eminent statesman whom his
action has retired to private life, Will
liam r. Morrison, was born in Monroe
County, Illinois, on the l4th of Septem-
Der, 1925. He was educated at the com
mon school and at Mckendree College
of his native State. At the end of his
course in college he began the study of
law, and soon after his admission to the
Bar, became Clerk of the Circuit Court.
He also became politician of local
prominence, and was elected for four
consecutive terms to the Illinois House
of Representatives, serving one term as
Speaker His career in the State Leg
islature was such as to commend him
for still higher honors, and retiring
from that body he was elected to the
Thirty eighth Congress He was re-
elected to the Forty-third, and has
until now retained his seat.

A Gritty Prima Donna.
MINNIE HAUK WADEs OUT OF A TRYING
SITUATION.

A very pretty story is told of Minnie
Hauk, which is said to be true in every
detail. While at Seattle one afternoon
with two of her lady friends she conclud
ed to 90 out on the sound for few hours
crab fishing. They didn't want male
escort, and consequently they kept their
proposed trip a secret. The afternoon Sc
lected for the excursion came, and with
nets and spears they embarked in a boat,
and Minnie being a good oarswoman, the
trio were soon out on the water, labbering
away about everything but the object of
their venture. They were getting along
swimmingly, when their boat came to "a
standstill. Looking over the side they
found they were stuck fast in the mud Of
an oyster bed, and as the tide was going
out and they were mile and a halt from
shore. there were the brightest prospects
for fve-hours' vigil. The case was rem
dered more critical from the fact
that Minnie was billed to sing
at the opera-house that night, and it
looked very much as though she would
not be able to keep the engagement. 1t
was dilemma. and all the ingenuity of
the three women was brought to bear on
the case. but every minute the water went
lower ard the boat stuck faster. They at
last gave up in despair, and settled down
to wait till the tide should lift the boat out
of the mud. They sat there two hours in
the hot sun, and their faces were well
bnrned, when their attention was attract
ed by shout. and turning. they saw the
old weather beaten keeper of the oyster
bed sitting several hundred yards away in
his boat grinning at them. They beck
oned to him. and leaving his boat in deep
water, he rolled up his trousers, and
wading over to where the ladies were,
tried to shove off their boat, but it was no
use. it wouldn't move.

The ladies shuddered and looked at
each other despairingly. But Minnie was
