ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Old String Story.

Ex-Speaker Reed has retained an
old fashioned method of reminding
himself of certain things to be done
during the day. 1t is not uncommon
to see him enter tho House of Repre-
sentatives with string tied around
his little finger. This was the case
one morning recently when he brought
with him white piece Of cord tied
with ends hanging an inch from the
knot about the little finger of his left
hand. Newspaper men speculated on
what was to be done during the day.
When the ex-Speaker endeavored to
twist the Speaker up in parliament.
ary decision during the morning most
of them thought that that was what
the string meant. The man from
Maine, however, did not cut the cord
off when he got through that little ef-
fort, 40 that it is still mystery.
A story is told OF Mr.. Reed and his
peculiar habit. A little child of his
family had plsyfully attached n string
to the ex-Speaker's finger, rs she had
often seen him do in the morning.
This was done by the little one so
quietly that it was uunoticed at the
time. Mr.. Reed got to the Capitol,
and when he took his seat he saw the
string. Then he relapsed into brown
study. He couldn't think what it had
been put there for. For the first time
in his life he thought he WAS getting
absent minded and was fearful lest he
should leave some important duty un-
done. The little mischief maker
watched for him in the evening and
asked him il he h,d attended to 1t.
"Havc attended to what?' he in
quired.
"Uh, [ tied the string on SO you
would think to bring me box of
candy said the child, and then the
cloud was lifted from the mind Of the
leader of the Republican party. 1t is
needless to say the little girl got the
candy. Washington News.

Dogs Ficrccr Than Wolves,

A pack OF three wolves and two dogs
are running together east OF that city.
Those who have observed the animals
say that the dogs are the leaders of
the pack, and that they are much
more fcrocious than the wolves. The
dogs approach the ranches in fear-
less manner, and bring the wolves up

REsUNING WORK

tators an interesting exhibition and

the losers of property. the steslers of
property and the receivers OF stolen
property. and also between the green
goods men and the particular officers
whose duty II was to interfere with
their nefarious work.
The testimony went to strengthen the
proof of corruption In police business in
all directions and to show the necessity
OF such n complete reform as will purify
the whole Department But nothing
was done to bring the developments
higher up than they have reached al

garnished with celery tufts and tiny
heaps of lobster coral and caviar. The
