necessarily conclude. after a review OF the

which western roads have suffered. With
the possibility of n default In the payment of
interest staring us In the face, the only thing
To be done to keep the property intact was to
file the bill OF complaint praying for rcceiv-

little to say, the court now having taken the
read under Its protection"

SENATE Immediately after the journal
was read In the Senate thls morning. Mr..
Dolnh OF Oregon rose to correct It on the
ground that 1t was inaccurate In failing TO re-
cite the presence of Senators Allen and Kyle
on sundry toll,cals, they having been present
in the Senate and failed TO vote. Mr.. Dolph
said 1t had become apparent thnt IL senators
could talk indefinitely and read from books
end papers without limit, and II the Sen ate
WAS not to amend Its rules or to put dlGer-
ent construction upon them, then the Senate
must drift down the current OF endless talk
without accomplishing any results. He be-
llcvcd he could say that tseuty-six Republic
can senators not only favored the repeal Of
the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman
act, but would be willing to vote to amend the
rules so that the ma ajority In the Senate could
limit debate.
Mr. Dolph regarded as Ridiculous and farrell
cal the procedure in the SENATE when n sena-
Tor suggested the abfcncc Of quorum and
then, upon the roli-call, refused to answer to
his name.
He characterized ns disordcrly aud violatlvc
of the spirit of the rules OF the Senate the re-
fusal OF a senator to attend when requested by
the sergca IN ntnt-nrms. or when he did respond,
refused to vote. That course was bringing
the Senate into dIsreputc and bringing seam
tinl upon II. He vas getting very tired OF
that sort Of thing and thought Il was lime the
Senate should have little backbone.
Mr. Hill of New York snid he had never
shared In the criticism that in tho absence Of
rules the speaker had not the right TO tell the
truth and 10 make the journal refuse TO tell a
lie, that the speaker had not the right TO ex-
erci.c his own .cnser, and when member sat
right In front OF him and did not vote 10 have
the journal show the fact Of his presence.
The SENATE, Mr.. Hill said, was cliDging TO
some traditions from past ages, there was no
sense in 1t and never had been. There was no
harm in what was propored 70 be done. The
lights Of no one would he invaded. The
outy Of senators wss greater than that Of
merely remainine 10 their seats; IL WAS their

The Trouble Is They Never Return ANY

The Trouble Is They Never Return ANY
thing You Lend Them.
''Whatl You remember to return my
pencil? Marvelousl Surely, you ought
10 be set on a pedestal as model for
the rest of your sex"
Thus spoke a man of whom little
blonde creature had borrowed Faber
No. 2, says the Philadelphia Times.
"Well," she laughed, II don't know
whether I would have been any more
thoughtful than the rest of womanSind
if had any place to put it"
''Ahi that accounts for it, then, for
thought there must be some good rea-
son for that unusual honesty" went on
that horrid man.
what a woman borrows, whether It
is money or mucilage, never expect to
see the loaned commodities again.
When she says: May borrow so-and-
SOP it is only polite way of asking for
it, and the man who thinks he will ever
get it back knows nothing of feminine
human nature. Umbrellas are common
property for all mankind, but masculine
rapacity stops right there. Not sowith
the members Of the fair sex.
"They look on everything as borrow
able, which is Synonymous for possess
able. They don't think it wrong to APP
propriate others property SO long as
they have prefaced its transference by
the polite: May l borrow?' Books go
for day and remain for lifetime.
Money is never once mentioned after
the primary transaction, and the small
things of life, such as scissors, pens and
pencils, are gobbled up with an uncon-
scious naivete that staggers the lender.
If return is even limited at one would
suppose mortal offense has been given,
and the only way to keep in your pos
session anything you really value is to
swear you haven't such thing when
the dulcet: May borrow, just for a
,hort time please2' falls on your ear"

An Ancient Chinese Method of Decorat-

Wall papers were little used in Eu-
rope before the eighteenth century,
though they had been long before that
applied to house decoration by the Chi
nese. Those that were first manufac-
tured in the west were adaptations Of
design from Italian brocades, and at
first they were used in an unobjection-
able manner, just as hangings OF the
costlier material were employed,
namely: To fill spaces between obvious
structural lines; and, SO applied, no OBJ
lection could be made to their use. On
the contrary, the invention brought it
within the means of almost every
householder to fill blank wall spaces
with agreeable tracery and harmonious
color.
The cornice, frieze and dado remained
intact; coigns were protected with
molding or plaster work, and the IN
mate might feel that he was living in a
built room and not in bandbox. But
gradually the wall features disap-
peared; paper crept over everything ex-
cept window and door openings, even
into the very angles of the walls, and
it is nothing uncommon now on enter

and proportions to find the walls close

of Old Cattle Roads.
The most famous of the old cattle
roads was, according to Scribner's Mag
azine, the chisholm Trail. 1t was
named after John Chisholm, an eccen-
trie frontier stockman, who was the
first to drive over it. Chisholm lived at
Paris, Tex, was bachelor, and had
many thousand head of cattle on the
ranges in the southern part of the state.
From two hundred to four hundred
yards wide, beaten into bare earth, it
reached over hill and through valley
for over six hundred miles Including
It's southern extension), chocolate
band amid the green prairies, uniting
the north and the south. AS the march
ing hoofs wore it down and the wind
blew and the waters washed the earth
away it became lower than the sur
rounding country and was hanked by
little banks of sand drifted there by the
wind. Bleaching skulls and skeletons
of weary brutes who had persisted on
the journey CLEANED along its borders,
and here and there was low mound

of the breakdown, and spotting the
emerald reaches on either side were the
barren circle-like bedding grounds, p"
each record that great herd had
there spent night.
The weight Of an empire passed over
the trail, leaving its mark for decades
to come. The traveller of to-day sees
the wide, trough-like course, with
ridges being washed down by the rains
and with fences and farms of the
settlers and the more civilized red men
intercepting its track, and forgets the
wild and arduous life of which it was
the exponent It was life now out
