Senators Gall, Parks, Earl, and
others deserve much credit for their
gallant fight against the bill for an

against bills in which these Senator'S

1t has been asked why Mr.. Wilson.
of West Virginia, who was in the
chair when the Turpin- Waugh Coop
er mill occurred on Thursday, did not
read the riot act and order Repre-
sentattves to lay down their mouths
and disperoe. The fact is lie had no
power. The chairman of the Com
mittee Of the whole is utterly without
authority to compel the committee to
come to order. His authority is a
delegated one. He must use his per-
sonal influence in restraining the
members on the floor. He has no
power to direct the Sergeant-at-arms
to maintain order for when the Com
mittee of the whole is considering a
measure the House is technically not
in session. Even when such an able
manIas Nj. Wilson occupies the chair
he is absolutely powerless to control
the body over which he presides.-
TheSergeant-at-arms-canbe called out
only by the Speaker and the mace of
Office cannot be waved over the heads

Delegate Walker, from this dis
trict, made strong speech against
the proposed increase of the State
school tax, but we see neither his
name of that or Delegate Brosius
among those mentioned as voting
against the measure. There must
be some mistake about this. and We
would like to be able to inform our
readers correctly in regard TO it, as
we cannot believe that they either
lodged the issue or failed TO vote
in accordance with the interest of
their continents.

was may know where to find relief.
When my son was seven years old he
began to complain of soreness in his right
leg. A white swelling soon appeared Just
below the knee joint, and extended from
the knee to the ankle. At the same time
he was taken with an attack OF fever,
which was broken up, but the leg became
very badly swollen, causing him great
suffering, and the muscles SO contracted
that his leg was drawn up ut right angles.
He was unable to walk, could not even
bear to be handled, and 1 thought him a
Confirmed Cripple.
AFTER time we had the swelling
lanced, midway between the knee and the
ankle, and it would discharge over a pint
of pus at times. decided to take him to
Cincinnati to have the leg operated upon,
expecting he would lose it. But he had
become so poor and weak that thought 1
would let him gather some strength, II
possible, and bought bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and began giving it to him.
This medicine soon woke up his appetite,

The Decay of Winter sports In Canada

AHe DECAY OF thbter sports In canada.
The average inhabitant of the States
in going to Canada III the winter time
expects, ] have no doubt, to see the
streets and hillsides covered with snow
shoes and toboggans, He may be sur.
prised to learn that there is but one
really good toboggan slide in Canada.
and that is at Montreal. while snow
shoers are numbered now by tens where
formerly they were counted by hun
dreds. 1t is simple enough to under
stand what has brought about this
change in what is usually accepted as
the typical Canadian winter sport.
4 few years ago.. when tobogganing
and snow shoeinghourished purely for the
great sport furnished. the professional
impresario, aided by the hotel proprietor,
conceived the idea of booming Montreal
and incidentally enriching themselves
by holding winter carnivals, the main
expenses of which We're borne by Mon
treal merchants. For a time they drew
largely, and Canada was literally alive
with snowshoes and toboggans. but anon
they palled, and the last much advertised
carnival" was highly uninteresting from
a spectators point of view.-Harrer's
