from senator's or as to what senator or
senators gave information concerning
the happenings in executive session.
The rest of the witnesses were like un-

months effort, the committee desisted
from its labors and reported that Z
was impossible to ascertain from whom

Pending the work Of this committee,
your correspondent walked upon the
Hoor of the senate and held converse

concerning northwestern news. After
the exchange of few sentences Sen

The Minnesota senator, although one
of the most dignifed and reserved of
men, laid back in his chair and almost
laughed aloud at the absurdity of sus-
pecting Dolph, who was chairman of
the smelling committee. Frank His

then adjoining that of Davis, had over
heard the latter part of my remark,

and entering the press gallery, looked
down upon a singular scene. Senators
Davis, Hiscock, Pettigrew, Carey and
Edmunds stood around the desk of Sem

the smiles of mischievous tormcntprs.

THE SPRING GIRL.

The winter girl is going and the summer girl
is coming;
The buds are on the trees, and the birds begin
10 sing,
And we're nearing fast the time when we Il hear
the bees a-humming,
For already earth rejoices with the promise OF
the spring.
The winter girl and summer girl have charms
there's no denying
The one in fCrs rejoicing, the other in pique;
But for the maiden Of the spring no lover ia
there signing
No vernal poet yet TO her has sung tuneful
lay.
And yet we know she's fairer, sweeter than tho
two together,
In her handsome new spring bonnet and her
raimcnt inc and gay;
She's like the lily and the rose in one when
fines the weather,
And she walks TO church with modest air on
joyous Easter day.
Talk not about your winter or your summer
girls, pray you,
Tho furs and scalskins Of the one, the others
furbelows;
But go 10 church with me On Easter Sunday
twill repay you
And see the spring girl blooming in her bon
net and new clothes.

kinds of nourishing food, often came
to see Glory, and many were the or
anges and gay picture books which she
brought to brighten the child's weary
life. Glory liked nothing so w ell as
visit from Miss Gay. She loved to
touch the pretty soft dress and to
breathe in whiffs of the delicate per-
fume with which the lady's handker-
chief was scented.
After G lory's mother died Miss Gay
often talked to the child and tried to
comfort her by telling her of the happy
place to which her mother had gone
and how she was no longer tired, nor
hungry, nor sick. But glory could not
believe this. She knew that her mother
had been carried away and buried, and
she was sure she would never see her
again.
They took her off and put her in
the ground and heaped it all on top of
her and know she is not happy" said
Glory.
Miss Gay then told her about that
first Easter Sunday SO long ago and of
Him who came out of the dark grave,
but Glory would not be comforted
AS Maggie sat stitching on the ma
chine and her sister lay gazing out of
the window, they heard footsteps
ascending the narrow, rickety stairs,
and to Glory's great delight Miss Gay
appeared in the doorway. In her hand
she held beautiful dark-red rose,
which she gave to Glory as she sat
down by her bedside This rose, with
its rich, velvety petals and its delicious
fragrance, was wonderful thing to the
sick child. but it did not mean to her
what it means to you. Perhaps you
will not believe it, but this was actual
ly the first flower she had ever seen,
and though it seemed very beautiful
she did not dream that it was a living
thing-that it had grown from tiny
green bud into this lovely flower.
After talking awhile Miss Gay pro-
ceeded to unfold some plans she had
been making, and before she was half
through Glory's eyes were shining with
excitement. Miss Gay had consulted
doctor about the child and he thought
there might be possibility Of curing
her if she could be in some place where
she could be carefully taken care Of
and Miss Gay proposed that she go to
hospital situated not far from the alley
where she now lived and let this doc
tor try to cure her. 1t would take
many months and then he would not,
perhaps, be successful But after talk
ing it over, Maggie agreed with Miss
Gay that it would be worth trying; and
as the lady promised to bear all the
expense and Glory agreed to lie still
whole year if she could only walk
around at the end of that time, it was
decided that in the morning she should
go to the hospital.
She cried little next day at parting
from Maggie, but her sister was to
come to see her every Saturday, so she
choked back the tears and drove of
with a smiling face, waving her hand
to Mrs. Mcguire and her six children,
who were crowded at the window to
see her off.
When they arrived at the hospital
Glory forgot all lonesomeness in the
wonder with which she gazed at the
two long rows of tiny white beds
stretching down the whole length of
the room. To her eyes, unaccustomed
to anything but the dingy room and
its battered furniture, everything
looked very grand; and when, after

printed brief synopsis Of the discus
sions in executive session on the Chill
question. Certain members of the sen
ate are very indignant about the mat
ter, and are threatening an investiqa-
ton concerning the senatorial leakage
upon this question. 1t is probable that
there will he sufficient sober sense
and good judgment in the body to pre-
vent them from enacting another farce
like the Dolph smelling committee.
Ten years ago Senator Edmunds
asked Gen. Boynton how senatorial
secrets were discovered, and the re-
Spouse of the distinguished correspon-
dent was: senator Edmunds if You
will give me your word that You will
not repeat to anyone what | say to you,
! will give you the information which
You desire" Tie senator from YER
mont gave immediate acquiescence of
secrecy, and Gen. Boynton added:
There is a large air shaft leading to
the senate, which is covered by a brass
CRATE on the floor Immediately in front
Of the vice presidents desk The cor
respondents crawl up that shaft, one by
one, taking turns, and taking notes of
everything that is said in executive scs-
sionS."
1t is probable tsat the senator never
until this day told anyone what he
had learned, but it is a well known fact
that the door leading to that air shaft
has been locked from that day until
this, so that it is impossible for any Of
the wicked fellows TO crawl in there.
As matter of fact. Gen. B0ynton gave
the senator fairy story oat Of his own
imagination, because none of the cor
respondents ever had entered that air
shaft, and it would be physical impos-
sfbility for any of them to ascend it
under any circumstances. But the
senator was satisfied with The cxplana-
ton given him, and no harm was done,
not even TO Cen. Boynton's conscience,
because he was joking when he told
that story and had no idea that the sen.
ator took it in dead earnest until he
learned afterwards that that air-shaft
door had been hcrmetically scaled.
And, after all, nobody knows how the
correspondents gather their forbidden
news concerning secret sessions.

But the breeze had now almost en-
tirely died down and Mr.. Maguire's
Sunday shirt hung limp and molonless
in the glare of the August afternoon,
al uncons ious of the fact that it was
shutting out completely the small
square of sky which the lame child in
the dark little room loved to gaze
upon.
Glory's bed was a hard cne-so hard
and lumpy and soiled that you would
not care to lie upon it for an hour
even, and yet this poor child had lain
there ever since she was two years old,
and she was now thirteen. Eight
year-old Maggie used to be left in

went out for a days washing or clean
ing, and one day little, over burdened
Maggie had let the baby-sister fall and
she had never taken a step since.
Maggie was grown up now and was
stitching busily upon the machine, for
She did tai oring. and, though the suns
rays beat down upon the tin roof over
head and the air was close and suitry,
Tt~ 1T would not do to stop work, for
she must earn enough to buy food for
herself and Glory and to pay the rent
OF the tiny room where they lived.

dren as long as She was able, but at
last she had fallen sick, and it was only
