serted by its protectors. sinks into obscur-
ity Or 1t may be slain in the flower Of
its youth by the fell blow of economist
or other enemy, cut off in the prime of a
promising career, to be resurrectcd at the
Eext Congress when the turn of the politi-
cal wheel has relegated the economist to
those bucolic shades from which an all
wise Providence had seen fit to separate
him for e. brief period.
To get bill through Congress requires
unremitting effort and watchfulness. The
measure must be pushed from step to step
by its sponsor through the devious maze
of official action. and if the effort is re-
Taxed at any point in the journey, there
the bill will stop until routed out again,
other bills with more energetic promoters
taking it's place in the meantime. In the
case of bills before Congress ii is a strik-
Ing exemplihcation Of the biblical assertion
that many are called, but few, are chosen,
for out Of every thousand bills introduced
not more than a dozen are destined to be-
come laws.
A Sample Bill.
Let's take private pension bill any one
at random. and follow it through insein-
ing that 1t becomes a law. Here is a bill
offered by Mr.. Poole of New York to iE-
crease the pension of a constituent. This
person. for reasons considered good be-
iieves that he should get a larger pension
than the one allowed him under the gen.
eral law, but it requires a special act of
Congress to make an exception in his case
so he gets his representative 10 introduce
bill. Mr.. Poole writes out the bill on a
blank form and some morning after the
House has assembled drops it into box

PERHAPS all women do not possess the
delicate sensibili;ias of the brunette, but
there is no doubt that very large num-
Der of men who are we'll equipped in other
directions display a most objectionable ig
norance or carelcssness when 1t comes to
decora ting their fronts beneath their chns.
Such Individuals seem to have an unhappy
faculty OF plunginS into the fncongruouS
when it comes to color and shape in neck
wear. An apt illustration of this was seen
at recent afternoon tea where well
known gentleman. who Is stout and short
and whose neck is built on the sturdiest
sort of a plan, appeared in the highest of
high straight collars and light green tie,
arranged as a cour-in-hand, and tied so
tightly and pulled down so straight that
one bright girl wondered why Mr.. J. didn't
simply wear an asparagus stalk for a
scarf.
All this goes to prove that men should
give more attention to the proprieties when
it comes to collars and ties and perhaps
e few points on the general subject of
Gress may not be out Of place.
Much Uncertainty Exists.
1t Is surprising what vast amount of
uncertainty exists among men who are
we'll informed on almost every other SUBJ
ject upon the question Of what is really
the correct mode in dress to be followed
on certain occasions. This Is particularly
the case regarding what IS known as full
dress. Even among men who attire them
selves in a swallow tail suit every evening
may be f und individuals who do not con-
form to the rigid requirements of the law
and when il comes to those who only &C.
casionally have demands upon them that
need full dress app aarance the inconsistent
cies are glazing. The proper accouterments
of a gentleman for any occasion after sun

at the Speakers desk. There 1t is seized
by clerk, entered in book, numbered
and sent down to the government printing
office where several hundred copies are
printed. They come back to the House the
next day and a clerk sees that one of them
goes to the committee on invalid pensions.
The printed bill looks like the above.
Now, there are great many similar, and
possibly just as worthy, bills ahead of this
one in the committee, and Mr.. Poole must
begin his hustling for his friend Case at
this point. He tells the committee the
facts about the case, and finally enliStS
their attention in behalf of the bill. 1t
is taken up. considered carefully, the War
Department records examined to verify the
statement of facts, and if the case presents
especial features of merit the bill is order
ed to be reported. This is the first victory.
If the committee had not Endorsed the bill,
or if they had been SO Indifferent to
postpone il, the measure would never have
seen daylight again. A report, containing
the findings of fact and stating the grounds
upon which Mr.. Case asks his increase, is
then drawn up. and, together with a copy
of the bill, is taken into the House by a
member of committee and reported. The
measure now takes it's place upon the
House calendar, in other words, the docket,
to come up for consideration in due order
unless otherwise provided, is printed again,
and the Endorsement upon the bill IS like

The House calendar is the rock upon
which many a worthy bill is stranded, left
high and dry by the receding tide of legis-
lation at the close of Congress. 1t is i'm
possible to reach all of the bills reported
during the ses sion, and Mr. Poole must
look sharp now to float his craft at some
high tide. If his bill is anywhere near the
top of the calendar, Mr.. Poole may afford
at the session devoted to pension bills, or
he may by a stroke of luck almost miracu-
lous, pass his bill through the House by
Unanimous consent" To do this he must
induce the Speaker to recognize him some
day Immediately after the reading of the
journal, to ask the House to pass the bill
by general consent and suspending all the
usual rules.
1t is hard to get the Speakers recognition
in the first place. for there are something
