form. With the obstacle OF the lords re-
moved. there might possibly be chance
Of home rule bill passing: without It

MY LADr'S HAT.

Through many a seasons cloud and sun
And wind and rain.
I've watched the sands OF fashion run.
And loved you. Jane;
And never has my firm belief
In your fair fances caused me grief
NV deep devotion has been sound
When you've elected
To trail your skirts upon the ground.
And quite protected
MY mind has been from haggard doubt
When you've essayed 10 do without.
In strange and devious paths where you
Have sought for beauty.
I've followed. and rosy view
Has been sweet duty;
Determined ever to admire
The fashion OF my James attire.
But now. all. now. that roseate hue
Too surely dies.
A hostile and electric blue"

And all around. injecting me,

Which erring man

Since shades began:
Such shades az make the blood run cold
And blanch the cheek OF young and old.

And pale, I send
My fearful resignation In.
And office" end

stylish equipage, or, indeed. any kind Of

smaller men. who thinks that Is beneath
the dignity OF a statesman.
Simple and straightforward In manner.
like almost all really great men, he hates
pretentiousness an he does hypocrisy. and
n 10 all appearances as democratic In
his dealings with everybody as when he
was unknown outside Of his own State.
He Is ovcrbearing and sarcastic at times.
but he does not truckle and tOady. and
he does not bully. and underneath II all
he has really kind heart. He loves
his friends and hates his enemies, like
the Roman that he Is. But he helps
sometimes, as well as hurts. even those
who are opposed to him. and he does a
favor most graciously. 1t Is perhaps
needless 10 say that he IS man OF his
word, who make promises carefully. but
keeps them more carefully.
With all his love OF sarcasm and habit
OF saying witty things at the risk OF Of
Tending somebody. Mr. Reed is extreme
~ courteous and tactful in dealing with
his fellow-me mbers. Those who imagine
that he Is above seeking their commenda-
ton and support by the usual methods
Of shrewd politicians make mistake
for he is a man who pays very close at
tention TO the political straws that may
blow across his pathway.
He has hard row 10 hoe az Speaker OF
the House In the coming Congress. In
view Of the fact that he Is a promising
presidential candidate. and no one appre-
clates this fact better than himself. His
desire for the goodwill Of all his Republi-
can colleagues is shown by the fact that
some time between the elections in 1894
and March Attn last he wrote personal
note OF congratulatlon TO each Republi-
can member-elect
Those who enjoyed personal acquaint-
ance with Mr. Reed were sratihed 10 be
so kindly remembered. and those who had
never met him appreciated the compli-
ment stu more. This is one reason why
there is not one discordant note In the
song Of praise that reaches the ears OF
Mr.. Reed as he comes again 10 take up

transition gave scope for endless inge-

changing fashion OF dress, which forced
a new tactic upon the thief: the pocket
was invented, maybe, because the hang
ing purse was too easy a prey for the
thlevsh scissors. But no sooner did the
world conceal its wealth In pockets, than
the clyf er was born to extract the booty
with his long nimble fingers. And the
trick was managed with admiral fore
thought which has been a constant ex-
ample TO after ages
The file was always accompanied by
bulk, whose duty II was 70 jostle and dis
tract the victim while his pockets were
rifed The bung. or what not. was rapidly

ried off before the cry OF stop thiefP'
