As outlined by the Washington specials
it is the policy of Mr. Reed. who will be
speaker. and a good many of the republi-
can leaders. to do nothing at the session
of congress which begins next Monday,
except TO pass the appropriation bills. II
these specials are reliable. the purpose
of Mr.. Reed and those who will likely be
guided by him, is TO make no effort to get
the country out OF its embarrassing finan-
cial situation. believing that the more
troublesome the situation becomes. the
better it viii be for the republican party
in the national election next year. In other
words. Mr. Reed and his immediate fol-
lowers are simply politicians. who are
looking out for their own political sue
cess. They are not statesmen. and do not
think the question of the welfare Of the
country is of much consequence.
Mr.. Reed may be a shrewd politician.
but he viii find that what the people want
but craftsmanship. The people VIII judge
the party leaders by what they do for the
general welfare of the country. and not Dy
their displays of shrewdness in manipu-
lating party politics.
very different sort of man is Senator
Hawley. of Connecticut. In an interview
a few days ago he said that he was going
to Washington prepared to join the demo-
Gratis in leglslating for the good of the
country. He recognized the fact. he said.
that congress should take hold of the
financial question and deal with it in a
business and statesmanlike way. The only
thing that is now hindering prosperity is
the unsatisfactory condition of the coun-
trys financial affairs. and there would be
very general disappointment IL congress
should adjourn without attempting to pro-
vide the financial relief so urgently de-
manded.
1t Is an insult TO the intelligence of the
country for Mr.. Reed or anybody else to
pretend that our financial troubles are due
wholly to democratic legislation. In a
speech in Biddeford. Maine few days
ago. Senator Frye, a distinguished repub-
lican leader, admitted that the business de-
preston began under a republican admin
istration. AS matter of fact much. if not
all, of the country's financial troubles, can
be traced to republican legislation. For
that party. therefore, to permit the coun-
hope of gaining a party advantage would
be convincing evidence that it is not
worthy of the confidence of the people.

Harrison's Cape May Cottage.

figure, presumably Intended for the angel

A Colonial. Thanksgiving.

In Leslie's Weekly.
Mine Ancestor Josiah ~
Of family tales be trae)
Within his heart felt keen the smart
OF love for Mistress Prue.
And yet, and yet, the pouting pet,
All! she was shy and coy;
But Ancestor Josiah,
He was willy boy.
Twas on Thanksgiving morning,
The hour was that of prayer,
The sky was bright, the earth was
white
And tingling was the air;
And Ancestor Josiah,
His Bible under arm,
In spruce array took solemn way
Toward Prue-her fathers farm.
He paused not at the gateway,
Nor at the good-house door.
And by her side, grave, reverent-eyed,
He knelt him on the floor.
q, wonder-wide and marvel-wide
All eyes were opened therel
Yet was there heard no greeting word
Except the fathers prayer.
But when from long devotion
Were raised the heads low bowed,
Why, sir. so rude, dare you intruder
The sire out-thundered loud
Then Ancestor Josiah,
With penitential look
81 do obey" they heard him say,
THE mandate of this book"
And, deft of hand. his Bible
He oped the covers of,
And clear one verse he did rehearse-
Thou shalt thy neighbor lovew
o, what smile there spread the while
He turned his lips to WOO
Thus. Ancestor Josiah
Won fair Ancestress Prue.

Has BIaclIisted Insanity.

The following story is told of John Bren-
nan of Stevens Point, as criminal law
yer, says the Milwaukee Jour
nal. The story goes that farmer who had
killed his wife in the northern part of the
state sent for Mr.. Brennan to defend him,
Offering to deed him his farm if he would
take the case Brennan wanted his pay in
advance and so the farmer made over the
property to him. The murder was a most
brutal and cold-blooded one, and Brennan
knew that there was but one plea that
might save his client from a life sentence,
and that was insanity. The trial was one
of the fercest ever fought in a Wisconsin
court. The attorney for the defense occu-
pied whole day in his closing address to
the jury and the effort was a mastery one.
The jury found the man insane, and he
was sent to Oshkosh. Once there he i'm
proved rapidly, and in a few weeks was
discharged. His first act was to sue Bren-
nan for the recovery of his property, on
the ground that he was insane at the
time he decided it. In the face of his own
argument that the man was insane Bren-
nan could do nothing, and the farmer won
his case Brennan has blacklsted insan-
ity as a defense for murderers

Congressman Elijah Morse of Massachu-
sets, better known as stove POLISH
Morse, is the fastidious statesman who
wants to put a stop to cigar smoking in
the hall of the House of Representa-
tiVes, says the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Times-Herald. Mr. Morse
is probably the only man in congress who
got rich through his fastidiousness. Years
ago Mr.. Morse started out from South
Bend Ind, selling stove polish on the
road. His travels finally took him to
Oshkosh, Wis The future statesmans
profits on his sales did not average more
than 81 day, and of course he couldn't
afford to stop at the best hotels. He reg
istered his name at a little hotel and was
told he would have to sleep with another
guest. Mr.. Morse did not like this, but
there was no help for it, and he went to
bed. After crawling under the coverlets
he made an unpleasant discovery. His
bed-fellow had come in from the streets
where the mud was ankle deep, and re-
tired with his jag and his boots on. That
settles it," said Mr. Morse to himself Il
have tried bedbugs and fieas and cock
reaches, but to sleep with man with his
boots on is more than / can stand. I'm
going to quit the road and go into manu-
featuring stove polish for other fellows
to SELL" He did so, and grew rich and
came to congress. All this good luck
dates back to the man of Oshkosh in bed
with his boots on. l know this story is

It must be a dry and shriveled heart
which cannot find much to be thankful
for on this glorious day. The possession
of the five senses, or any one of them. is
an incompatible blessing which should
stir the most devout and grateful emo
lions. Health is a blessing beyond the
power of riches to bestow, yet is a free
gift of the great Creator. Home and
loved ones are inestimable in their value,
yet very few of even the poorest are with
out one or both of these treasures.
The country has been blessed with peace
and bountiful harvests. and there are
few individuals who do not find their
condition more satisfactory than it was
year ago. There is not person but
