"fou don't. ELI? It's nothing to

'But he hasn't got worms. You

Bowser."
"Do you know you arc talking to
that ohild's fathet?"
"Of course"
"And that | probably love him q
thousand times more than you do |?
Mrs. Bowser, | want peep at that
child's eyes. The book says il he's
fifty the whites of his eyes viii be
streaked."
"But he isn't fifty, and il you
try to look at his eyes you'n wake
him up
"And I'll ste about those eye
teeth at the same time. DO you
know whether hc is tongue.tied or
not ?"
"Of course not"
"But you don't know for certain.

1t isn't one mother in twenty who

Self. l propose to give this child

and now. I'll begin with his eyes
and then work down. You see"
And of course MIR. bowser poked
hls finger in. the young Bowser's eye
as beginning to the general in
spettion. lie didn't mean to, OF
course, but he did it just the same,
and the action was followed by a
yell which WIS heard across the
street. The yell was followed by
display of flying heels and hands,
and Mrs. Bowser caught up his
Offspring and began to dance about
and pat him on the bick and make
use of soothing expressions. A 3
year.old youngester with his right
eye almost pokcd out is bound to
raise row about it. Mrs. Bowscr
tried to get possession of him, But
Mr.. Bowser persisted ia dancing
around and yelling, Shoe, shoe, till
he backed up to the baby carriage
and fell over it and came down
with n yell aud crash which set
the doorbelI TO ringing. He didn't
know when young Bowser shrieked
in bis ear, fastened both hands in
his hair and braced both feet
against the pnefnal chm. Mfs.
Bowscf had the indignant and
frightened chlld when the father
kicked the sIiyers and splinters ana
ruins aside aid got up. He looked
for his family medical guide and it
was burning cbeerfully in the CRATE.
lie struck a pose to say something
to Mrs. Bowser, but she wouldn't
look up. Ifc therefore walked of
to the library and banged the door
after him, and she saw no more Of
him TIL midnight. Then he came
creeping up TO the family bedroom
and ripped bis collar OF, twisted his
necktie over his head and growled
to himself.

They would doubtless resent be-
ing called lobbyists, but there can
be no doubt that the work upon
which the gentlemen who are here
representing the Various parties in
terested IN Pacific Railroads legisla.
tion, now being considered by
House and Senate committees, are
engaged in is lobbying pure and
simple. Each and every one OF
them is after legislation that will
protect the interest he represents,
regardless Of the interests Of tie

In addition To recovering s27, =
1924 paid out on fraudulent or
illegal pensions, the Democratic
management of the Pension Bureau
has saved the Government in the
Deighborhood Of million dollars
during the last twelve months by
the discovery Of frauds and the
stopping of accrued payments on
them. That is Just the sort Of
thing that the people have right
to expect from the Democractic
management OF every branch Of the
Government.

Coxey's march upon the Capitol
was ono OF the most farcial fiszles
of tho age. To-day he and Carl
Brown and Christopher Columbu
JortS are being tried in the Police
Court for violating the law in at
tempting to make speeches from
the steps of the Capitol. They are
not likoly to bc severely punished
probably small Gnos as a warning.
Ii the foolish men now on their
way to Washington to join Coxey
could get within smelling distance
of the pcst.hole in which the poor
Coxeyites are contradictory SAYS
camred---they would turn back at
once. lnasmuch MS Coxey was told
by the Health officer of the danger
attendant upon putting those poor
devils III marsh partially filed
with the dumpings of city filth,
with an open sewer on one side and
stagnant green sctimmed ccsspools
on The other, and tho foul atmos-
phere thoroughly impregnated with
malarial germs, it looks as though
he would be glad to gam little
additional notoriety by having q
lot of them die like dogs. Nearly
all OF the four hundred men now
there are half sick from exposure
and lack of proper food, and the
daily inspections by the Health Off
clals is followed by tae ambulance
carrying some of them to the hos
pItals. Coxey, being comfortably
quArtered ut hotel, says he in
tends to keep these men mere un'tfl
they are joined by several hundred
thousand, but he won't. Those
who don't get sick will desertj every
day some Of them get arrested for
begging in the streets and arc sent
down as yagrants.
