ELLEN TERRY's STOCKING.
How She Happened TO Wear It On
Her Head Instead Of.
Illustrated American.

Illustrated American.
Ellen Terry, whose "Few Words
About Art" have been so faVOrably
commented upon, is one of the readicst
of women in an emergency, as well
as one of the wittiest in telling of her
difficulty afterward. All this was seen
the last night Of her engagement in
America.
1t was during an intermissiOn Of her
part when she slipped into the back Of
a friends box, chatting and waiting her
cue. While talking she dropped on her
knees, and, calling every ones atteD-
ton to knot Of crimson resting on her
blonde locks, began relating funny e1s
perience of that very evening.
She said her costume that night de-
manded red snood in her hair, and to
the CONSERVATION of herself and hex
maid ii was discovered on reaching the
theater that the ribbon had been for
gotten. They rushed about In great
state, looking for any bit of vivid color,
but to no avail, and were In despair,
when Miss Terry thronght of a sub.
stitute. Quick as flash her scarletsilk
stocking was drawn off, black one sub.
stituted, and when the curtain rose her
toilet was complete.
She showed how heel and toe had
been deftly treated, but observed that
in an imprisoned scene she was nearly
overcome with laughter thinking of the
bit OF fine hosiery figuring on her
tragic head.

ELECTED BY THE HOUSE.
A Brace of Exciting Incidents I'm
Our Political History.
Arkansas Gazette.

Arkansas Gazette.
Since the foundation of the governs
ment two presidentiol elections have
been thrown into the house, where the
vote is taken by states, and each state
Is entitled to one vote. In 1900 Jeffer-
son and Aaron Burr were candidates
on the same ticket. The law then gave
the presidency to the candidate receive
ing the highest vote, the next highest
to become vice president. The Repub.
licanS, who supported Jefferson and
Burr. chose 70 electors, and the Feder.'
aliSts, who supported John Adams and
c. &. Pinckney, chose IS electors. Each
elector voted for two persons, and un+
fortunately the Republican electors
gave Jefferson and Burr 70 votes each.
Neither having majority, the election
was transferred to the house, which
elected jefferson on the thirty-sixth
ballot. The excitement caused by the
contest, heightened as II was by Burr'B
intrigue to secure for himself the pres.
idency which the party desired for JEFF
ferSon, secured a change to the present
law.
In 1924 Jackson, John Quincy Adams,
were candidates for president. This
was the famous "scrub race" of our
political history. Jackson led In elect
oral votes, and also in the popular Vote,j
but did not receive majority. Mr..
Clay had not then separated from the
Republican or Democratic party; but
he disliked Jackson. and gave as "a rea-
son for declining to support Crawford
the latter's infrm health. dis influence
elected Adams, and created revolution
in politics which caused the latter'B
overwhelming defeat by Jackson fox
reelection four years later.

THRENODY.

Watching here alone by the fire whereat last
year
Sat with me the friend that week since yet
was near,
That week has borne so far and hid so
deep.
Woe am 1 that I may not weep,
May not yearn to behold him here.
Shame were mine, and little the love 1 bore
Now to mourn that better he fares than love
may fare
Which desires and would not have indeed
its WILL
Would not love him so worse than i'll,
Would not ciothe him again with care. q
Yet can love not choose but remember,
hearts but ache,
Eyes but darken, only for one vain thoughts
poor sake,
For the thought that by this hearth's now
lonely side
Two fast friends on the day he died
Looked once more for his hand to take.
Let thy soul forgive them, and pardon heal
the sin
Though their hearts be heavy to think what
then had been,
The delight that never while they live
may be-
Loves communion of speech with thee,
Soul ana speech with the soul therein.
o my friend, o brother, a glory yelled and
mdIIGu!
Never love made moan for life more evil
starred.
Was it envy, chance, or chance-compel-
ling fate,
Whence thy spirit was bruised so late,
Bowed so heavily, bound SO hard?
Now released, it may be-if only love might
know
Filled and fred with sight, it beholds US
blind apd low
With pity keener yet, If that may be,
Even than ever was this that we
Felt, when love of thee wrought us woe.
None may tell the depths and the heights of
life and DEATH
What we may we give thee: word that sorrow
saith,
And that none will heed save sorrow:
scarce song.
All we may who have loved thee long,
Take; the best we can give is breath.

Good Story on Judge Brown.

Washington Special.
A characteristic story OF Judge Brown
was related by Senator Mcmillan this
afternoon. Some years ago Judge
Brown built new house. The work.
men, in way workmen have, pottered
about until at last in desperation Judge
Brown determined to occupy the house,
although the men were still at work.
The first night he slept there he was
awakened some time, after he had gone
to bed by finding man in the room with
a mask over his face and d revolver In
his hand. The burgler told the Judge
that he wanted his valuables, and asked
him where they were kept. The judge
was very cool, and with good deal OK
indifference told his midnight visitor
where the plate and other things Of
value were. Meanwhile the burglar
was putting in his time to good advant-
age and uppropriating all the personal
property in reach Near the head Of
the bed was small table, in drawer
OF which was loaded revolver and
watch which had been given TO tho
Judge by his father. When Judge
Brown was lying in his bed and the
burglar was roaming around the room
he caught sight OF piece OF jewelry on
the bureau. and to get possession Of IL
nc IuTLeQ Ills DdCk W LH0 udn ITO was
robbing. This was the judges OPP
portunity. Quick rs a flash he
put his hand IN the drawer and
pulled out the revolver, and, without
moments warning, fired at the burglar.
Brown and the thief gave simulta-
neous yell and the robber fled. Judge
Brown jumped out Of bed and ran after
him, still holding the revolver in his
hand. At the foot of the stairs the burg.
lar turned and fired. Judge Brown,
who was coming down the stairs.
promptly returned the fire, and the two
men stood there and blazed away al
each other until their revolvers were
empty. The noise of the firing brought
out the neighbOrs, but the burglar es-
capped. A search showed that he had
been wounded, as there were marks Of
blood, but Judge Brown bad escaped
without q scratch. A little later the
man was captured, and he was so badly
wounded that he died. So Justice
Brown, like the new senator from South
Carolina, had killed his man.

OF the union in regard to the elght-hour
question during the coming season.
On New Years eve grand inaugural
ball was given at Armory hall by Arbi-
tration Lodge $40. The hall was

number of members of labor organiZa-
lions were in attendance.
The plumbers union held special
meeting Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose Of deciding on regulations for the
guludnC0 VI Tie various pluHDlnR Shops
in the city. Some dissatisfaction is
manifested by the members of the
union. owing to the fact that some of
the shops are working more than eight
hours. The question received thor
ough discussion, and 1T was finally
agreed to adopt the nine-hour plan for
the whole city. This, it is expected,
will prove to be a satisfactory arrange
mem Tor both emnloveS and the bOSS
plumbers. 1t is intended, however, to
take up this question again when the
building season opens.

doubtless prove to be of considerable
Importance. The legislative committee
which was appointed some time ago to
draft several eight-hour bills has been
carefully going over this field of labor
legislation and Will make detailed re-
port. A number of members of the
Legislature were interviewed by the
committee and their conclusions will
tend to shape the future policy Of the
, league.
The cigarmakers' union holds its reg
ular meeting Thursday evening. The
newly elected officers Will be installed

wholesome kind we call domestic"
She is a frst-rate housekeeper when
ever she has a house to keep, and does
much with her own hands that few
English ladies would attempt. This
edonestlcity is partly forced upon her
by. the scarcity of servants,
exercise for her quick wits and
"home" affords. In England it is COM
mon for a mistress to think she has done
her whole duty wheu she simply orders
s'room is to be thoroughly cleaned"
''nice dinner sent up" but an Ameri-
can mistress usually knows exactly how
the room ought to be cleaned, and
exactly how the dinner ought to be
cooked, and enters into all the details.
In sounding thus much the praises of
American women / may seem by impli-
cation to render scant justice to Eng
lish ones. But, be it remembered, am
writing only of the superior class, and
even so imply 20 more than that 1t
presents a higher average of certain
social merits than the corresponding
class in England.
Moreover, in conclusion, am anxious
above all things to insist upon the fact
that the charms of American women are
mainly due to their privileges, and must
not be put down simply to nature and
grace. They are the best-treated women
in the world, and this it is which makes
them fresh and entertaining and capa-
BILE. Let the Englishmen who admire
them take the lesson to heart, and see
whether they cannot educate the women
in their own country up to the American
standard in these respects by treating
them in American fashion.
The American gentleman Is usually
devoted to his wOmankind; he both adj
mireS and respects them, and eXpendS
great deal of his leisure and his
money in providing them with that
good time" they always crave. They
have never been his drudges. nor even
his subordinateS. Mr.. Bryce observes
fetches his wife's keys, where
as an English ore would as
naturally send her to the top
of the house for shis. This is typical of
a great deal Men in this country seem
to consider women or value them only
in so far as they are in some way sub
servient to their interests. In America,
a woman's welfare and happiness is
valued for itself, and is held to have as
much independent worth as a mans
Mr.. Bryce fancies it has even more !
Here women live mainly for men;
there, men seem to live mainly for
women, and what wonder that they reap
some reward! The genial atmosphere
they create for woman tends to bring
out what is best and most attractive in
her; they supply her with moral sun
shine, in which the good qualities that
are especially feminine ripen. She feels
appreciated and understood by men,and
this draws her EN- revanche into kindly
sympathy with them, and into fuller
partnership with their lives and inter

The animal meeting of the Farmers

Ihan usual interest to many mem

interesting and novel feature of ALI

curiosity. 1t will no doubt prove to be
the cause of many spirited discussion
before IA verdict as to its merits or
dement's is finally rendered. While
labor organizations have grown quite
rapidly in this state, and their member

course has been conservative, especially
as regards the most feasible plans upon
which workingmen in cities could or

OF trade union philosophy, and the plan
was based upon many years experience
of those that had given this work
careful study. This continued agitation
has disabused much Of the prejudice
that formerly existed against trade and
labor organizations, so that there are
some who will insist that the present
work is the most effective. On
the other hand, others claim
that the lines of trade unions
are narrow, and ask that a wider scope
be given to wOrkingmen who study
economics. They insist that a semi-po-
litical society like the auxiliary Cltl-
zens' Alliance will give them this much
desired latitude. OF course, there will
arise many questions as to matters OF
detail which will, under even the most
favorable circumstances, make the
work of building up the Citizens ALI
ance very slow process. But in view
OF the experience of past years, and the
many disappointments it may be SAID
that the older organizations are now
better prepared to take this question
under consideration than ever before.
The question of personal leadership will
cut but little figure, as the plan must be
carefully thought out by the rank and
file, who are expected to form the
nucleus of this new movement.
