A communication from the Senate
announced the concurrence of that
body in the report of the Conference
Committee amendments to House
Bill No. 10
Rep. Bond reported for the Commit
tee on Passed Bills that the following
had been handed the President for
consideration: Senate Act No. s, pro-
VidiDg for Government appropria-
tiOns; Act No. Is, providing for the
giving and filing of bonds; Land Act
of 1895, Senate Acts IS and 10, fixing
Board of Education appropriations;
joint resolution approving cable con-
tract; Senate Act No. II, repeating
Railway Act of 1890.
Rep. Hanuna introduced the follow
ing resolution: Resolved, that the law
books now in possession of members
of the 6Ouse be mrde the property of
the same, and that they be paid for
out of the appropriations for the pres
ent session.
Rep. Bond thought the resolution
should not pass. The action was sim
ply degeneration in the times of the
old regime.
Rep. Rycroft-"I, too, object to the
resolution, because L haven't any of
the law books"
Rep. Winston moved for indefinite
pOstponement. If any of the mem
bers were in need of books he thought
it would be better to buy them out of
their own pockets.
Rep. Hanuna said the session was
about at an end, but the duties of the
legislators, instead of closing too,
would continue. 1t was absolutely
that they study the laws in
the time which would elapse between |
this and the regular session in order |
TO De 1ully prepared Tor the duties !
which would undoubtedly fall to their /
lot at that time. The next session was /
for ninety days. If the various repre- !
would have the laws down !
TO fine POINT by that time the session |
would be much shorter one. The /
one great failing in the House he at !
to ignorance of the laws.
When Reps. Robertson and Kamau- /
Oha were away the House was at sea
on points Of law. These gentlemen
could not be at the meetings of the I
House every day. II would be a good .
thing for the other members TO brush
up little on. law, and for that reason
he had il troduced his resolution.

COlors for Women.

That blondes should wear blue and bru-
nettes yellow and red is one of the COM
monplaces of the past that modern ex-
perence is proving a fallacy. AS rule,
blue, especially at nj ght, is not becoming
to many blondes. the effect being too
fade and insipid. Whereas on a black
haired beauty there is no more color that
is more becoming than the cerulean blue.

zo-tints of a brunette's coloring. The ef-
feet may be understood by imagining an
Italian type of beauty against a blue sky.
Red and yellow. on the contrary, tend to
make dark person look swarthy. Deli
cate tints of pale pink and blue are, as a
rule, much more refned-lookng and more
suited to marked coloring. Pink is the
color par excellence for blondes; then
comes certain shade of maize yellow or
sunshine yellow; while red or cherry IS
really lovely at night with a golden head.
Dead white, either to blondes or brunettes,
is apt to be trying. unless the, .wearers
have great deal of color, in which case
it is extremely becoming to both; other
wise it is best to relieve it with colored
flowers in the corsage.--New York Trib-

SAVINGS OF YEARS.
Curious Collection of Money Deposited il

Curious Collection of Money Deposited in
a Lebanon, Pa, Bank.
Representative Woomer of Lebanon,
Pa, relates an interesting episode that oc-
Cured in his bank at home. Mr.. Woomer
is cashier of the Peoples bank Of Leba-
non, and one day a few weeks ago the
executive of the estate of Mrs. Moses
Light walked in and deposited $1,000 cash
which he had found had been put away in
various places by the deceased. The mon
ey had been accommodating for years and
wears and was the patient savings from
the sale of produce.
Among the deposits were 100 pennies,
including many issues of the old ''cop-
pers.'' There were $13 in notes of the
State bank of Lebanon. Fortunately
they are still good, as the Lebanon State
bank never failed, but was merged into
the present Lebanon National bank. There
were SAT in fractional currency, 3, 5, 10,
25 and 5O-cent "shinplasters." Some of
the latter were in the original sheets in
which they were printed. When it be-
came known that these relies were in the
bank people thronged in to purchase them,
and in an hour all the ''shinplasters' had
disappeared.
There was also $40 per cent. inter-
crest hearing note issued by the govern
ment in the early part of the war. There
was a large quantity of old silver, includ-
ing half dollar that was minted in 1919.
There were several of the first issue of
greenbacks. as crisp as though they had
come off the presses at the bureau of
printing and engraving. This money had
been boarded year after year in prefer

Recalls Old Times.

Social Buffalo is having a great time
with duplicate whist. The women are
daft over it, and the Commercial says
that concise invitations now take this
form: Duplicate whist at s; two tables;
Individual scores Husbands may be or
dered at H." Which moves the cynical
Rochester Post-Express to remark: THE
breezy frankness of this is delicious, and
one can imagine Buffalo husbands rush
ing about in desperate haste each evening
at II. Doubtless they meet on the door
steps of the houses where the symposia
are held and chat and jest together over
the charms and whims of their ladies,
just as their own coachmen used to do
in the simple and good old days when
husband and wife went to balls together
or played hearts each with the other for
partner. But those evenings are long past.
The ladies rule, and the only comfort
that the docile but freezing Buffalo hus-
bands have now is the remembrance that
in those same old days ladies sometimes
fell in love with coachmen, and so may
yet smile with affection upon husbands!

INDIANS AS HUNTERS.

They Do Not Brighten the Game Out of
Districts as White Men Do.
''It is a remark often made by old
timers who knew the Western country
when the red man was as common there
as the tenderfoot is now,' said a sports
man from the Rockies, ''that Indians
never scare away game from region in
which they hunt. But, they say, wherev
er the white man comes with his firearms
game is bound to be killed off or driven
away. These sayings are true with the
qualifying statement that by reasonable
game laws game of all kinds can be pre-
served and, even when nearly extermin-
ated, restored to almost it's original plenti-
fulness in districts not too fully occupied
by man and his domestic creatures.

him without abandoning the region
where he abides.
1T is when white hunters of the sports
men variety invade it's haunts, their pres

feet, their clothes alien in appearance to
the hues and contours of the creatures of
the wilds, and their purpose shown by the
crack and crash of firearms, that game
begins to migrate to other feeding
grounds Add to this the increasing and
indiscriminate slaughter for slaughters
sake that characterzes the white mans
hunting, and it is easy to see why the
depopulation of the forest and plain, when
unrestricted by law, is speedy and sure.

SONGS DOMAIN.

The poet we'll the poet knows
In ambush turks where'er he goes
Lisps hidden in each wind that blows
Laughs in each wave,
Signs from the bosom of the rose,
Walls from the grave. 49,.
And Orphic laws of lutte and verse
All the symphOnious worlds coerce,
That hour by hour their parts rehearSe-
Winds, strings and reeds,
In this orchestral universe
The maestro leads.
But though all life and death and birth,
And all the heavens enzoning girth-
Earth, and the waters meath the earth,
Are Songs domain,
Nor aught so lowly but is worth
The loftiest strain.
IT'S from these moods, in which Life stands
With feet earth-planted, yet with hands
Stretched toward visionary lands,
Where vapors lift
moment, and aerial strands
Clean through the rift
The poet wins, in hours benign,
At older than the Delphic shrine,
Those limitations, faint and fine,
To which belongs
Whatever character Divine
Invest his songs.
And could we live more near allied
To cloud and mountain, wind and tide,
Cast this unmeaning coil aside,
And go forth free,
The World our goal. Desire our guide,
We then might see
Those master moments grow less rare,
And oftener feel that nameless air
Come rumoring from we Know not where;
And touch, at whiles,
Fantastic shores-the fringes fair
Of fairy aisleS;
And hail the mystic bird that brings
News from the inner courts of things
The eternal courier-dove whose wings
Are never furled
And hear the bubbling of the springs
That feed the world.

A Farthing with History.

A farthing with remarkable history
was one of the productions in case at
a recent circuit court at Aberdeen. It is
dated 1884, and in that year, when it
was at its brightest and best, it was
passed on a Kincardineshire merchant as
a half-sovereign. The merchant, when
the mistake was discovered, wrapped it
in paper and put it away in a separate
drawer along with number OF spurious
coins. After lying there ten years it
was stolen by burglars, who were evident
" under the impression that it was a
half-sovereign. The possession of the coin
led to thir capture, and resulted in five
years imprisonment each.-Edinburgh

Col John A. Cockerill is writing some in
teresting letters from the West, where he
has been hunting and hobnobbing as the
guest of Buffalo Bill. Speaking of Sheri-
dan, he thus illustrates the wild sense of
humor in the big-hearted Western peo-
pie: There came to the Sheridan inn bar
room one day a man who had been firing
a defective breech-loading weapon, and
the. charge, blowing rearward, had de-
posted line of blue powder grains, eX-
teding from his right eyebrow to the roots
of his hair. AS he pushed back his hat to
take drink toiler at the bar caught a
glimpse of the odd mark. CHATS a fine

sandstone, was discussing cyclones with
an old inhabitant. Don't have 'em here
at ALL" he proudly said. "But don't you
know" he continued, ''that it takes two
people to see a cyclone-one to holler
Here she comes and tother to holler
There she goes damn her!' And this
led me to believe that the veteran had seen
at least one in his time"

The Most Decisive Conflict Waged Against
the Romans.

The battle of Cannae resulted in the
severest defeat the Romans ever experl-
enced at the hands of Hannibal, or any
one else. There We're engaged in this
struggle 10000 men, of whom $1,000,
or 81 per cent, were killed on the field.
No prisoners were taken and the wound
ed were all massa cred. After the battle
Hannibal sent to Carthage two, some say
five, bushels of gold rings taken from the
engagement. Some of Hannibals gen
erals desired him to march at once to
Rome, but he declined to do SO, believing,
as was probably the case, that his force
was insufficient to invest, much less to
beseige, the city.
