HOW'S
Your Liver !?

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
It acts with extraor-
dinary power and efficacy.
NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED.
As general family remedy for dyspepsia
,rpid Liver, Constipation, etc, hardly eve
e ANYTHING else, and have never been dis
pointed in the effect produced; 1t seems t
almost perfect cure for all diseases OF th
omach and Bowels.

QUEER BOX IN BAGGAGE CAR.
waltz at private dancing school, when
the man Of the mace rushed in upon
them and waltzed them away to the bar
of the house, there to make their expla-
| nation
When q member is called before the
bar to give reasons for his absence he is
not sworn to tell the truth. 1t would be
exceedingly awkward at times if this ex-
action were made Of him, for statesmen
have been taken out Of professional gam
bling dens and worse places by the un-
relenting but happily secret keeping
officials. The man of the mace must
have discretion as well as zeal, for it
would not do to take an intoxicated
statesman into the presence of the house.
That would offend the dignity of the
body, and be decidedly uncomfortable
for the member. In such cases the officer
discreetly reports mot to be found"
More than one statesman of renown
owes his fair fame to the retcence and
discretion of q sergeant-at-arms or his
assistant. 1t is matter of general con-
gambling and worse vices are much less
frequent now among public men than
they were in the old days. There are
no public gambling houses in Washing
ton, and the members who often get
drunk could be counted on ones fingers.
Some strange stories are told by as
sistant sergeants- -at-arms concerning
their experiences with junkets and fu-
nerals. 1t is the duty of these officials to
act as funeral masters when a member of
the house dies, and to make all arrange
ments for transporting the corpse to the
place of lnterlnent, accompanied by a
committee of congressman. AS a rule, of
late years these funeral excursions are
managed with dignity and solemnity,
though it would be contrary to human
nature if few small jugs and q limited
number of bottles of wine and boxes of
cigars were not included in the para
phernalia Of woe. Many funeral scandals
have come to light through publication
of the items Of expense, but one story
has down to this time escaped the chron-
iclers of the press. 1t was told the other
day by an ex-sergeant-at-arms.
Il was managing funeral trip once"
said this gentleman, "and the Journey
was long and tedious one. The com
mittee insisted that should lay in sup
ply Of whisky and wine, and did So
But there was no place to store the goods
and no place in which to keep ice and
the other articles which help to make
those things go OFF smoothly. So we
went into the baggage car and there
fixed up a little bar Of our own. And
what do ynr suppose it was we put our
bottles on and took our drinks froml
Why, the pine box. in which lay the re-
mains Of our deceased member"

more, is Of as sterling worth as the first
of its line
The mace has its high priest in the
person of the sergeant-at-arms. Every
day at high noon, when tho house meets,
this official enters tho hall, bearing the
symbol in his hands, and places it upon
Its pedestal. When the house adjourns
or takes o recess he carries it away to its
cloister. Sometimes he takes it away
when the house continues in session, or
appears to do 50, and this is something
which the visitor cannot understand
The explanation is a asimple one Nearly
every day the house resolves itself into
! committee Of the whole house on the
state Of the Union. Usually on such oc-
casions the speaker retires after calling
member to the chair, though he may
preside if he wishes to do SO. The COM
mittee of the whole is not the house of
representatives, but what its name in
dicates, a simple committee of which
every member Of the house is member,
and consequently the mace has no proper
place as silent guardian of its delib-
erations
When SO ordered by the speaker the
high priest of the mace lifts the ancient
symbol from its place and carries it,
held aloft, upon the floor among the
members. II there is disturbance there
you may be sure it will quickly disap-
pear.
This high priest Of the mace is also
sort of father confessor to the statesmen
of the house. All, if his secrets were un-
yelled what sensations there would be
IN the landl The sergeant-at-arms has
many delicate duties to perform besides
that of polishing up tho gold eagle
Once in session or SO it happens that
call of the roll failing to disclose the
presence Of o quorum, the sergeant-at-
arms is ordered to apprehend absent
members and bring them before the bar
of the house. The sergeant-at-arms is
supposed to know just where these de-
Hnquents ire to be found, and he and
his assistants generally do know. "A
drinking saloon not far from the Capt.
tol is usually drawn on for limited
number of statesmen.
A few doors down New Jersey ave-
nue., almost on the site of the first
manor house erected in the Capital City,
select poker coterie is occasionally in
terrupted by the knocking at the door of
the sergeant at arms. In the immediate
neighborhood are two or three other
dens in which jack pots are once in
while broken up by the appearance Of
the officers Of the house. Not many
years ago three young statesmen were
caught in house on this same avenue

plight They were Willing away the

mystery. They see, standing upon 9
round marble block, at the right of the
speakers chair a contrivance which
looks like bundle of sticks, surmount
ed by ball and bird No one pays
attention to this queer device. 1t is SC
seldom used and SO often seen standing
in its place that members and other
habitues of the hall appear to be un-
mindful of it's existence. The stranger,
however, rarely fails to ask what it is.
Lucky, indeed, is the visitor who sees
the mace in action. The mace is mighty
when stirred to movement.
ltCould not exert a more potent charm
if it were a heather idol and the occu-
pants of the floor it's devotees. When
the mace is taken down from its pedestal
and carried upon the floor the visitor
may feel sure there is crisis. There is
extraordinary disorder, q fsticuff or a
riot. AS rule, the mace is not used
more often than once a year, but it's every
appearance creates a sensation. There
was never yet a man SO bold us to dis.
pute right of way with the mace. All
heads are bowed before it; all tongues
silent. And why not? 1t is the only
royal insignia in this government. 1t is
the most potential instrument of cere-
mony or ensign Of authority on this con-
tinent The mace represents the mai
esty of the American house of commons
and that means the people. The ad-
miral of the navy may have his flag and
the general of the army his star, but
what are they if the body the mace rules
does not support them?
All honor, therefore, to the mace, and
do not sneer at it because at first glance
it appears a relic of ancient mummery,
a meaningless, decorated stick. The
pages lounge and play about its pedestal
as if it were piece of furniture, but it
is really the one potential wand in this
country, the one inanimate object which
typifes actual power.
Compared to the mace the gavel is
nothing. The gavel appeals for order.
The mace enforces it. The gavel is a
mere mallet, sounding instrument,
which may roar and pound and rattle
force which has but to be seen and it is
obeyed A member may disregard the
speaker and express contempt for his
gavel, but the man who failed to bow
before the mace would endanger his
right to sit in the house. He might
even insult the speaker, for he is but an
officer of the house, its creature. The
mace invariably commands his respect,
for it is the house itself.
When the American congress first met
it was perceived that it should have, in
some form, symbol which all men
would hold in awe and reverence, and
SO mace was fashioned of ebony, bound
with silver, and surmounted by silver
globe and an eagle of solid gold. 1t was
baptized, crowned and enthroned, and
reigned supreme till the British soldiers
came along in 1914 and burned the Capt.
tol. Then the mace was destroyed The
solid gold eagle disappeared, and no
