best material, while II the job is let out
by contract, plan which Is being ear
nestly advocated by the "new woman !"
Of to-day, there Is often some very In.
ferior stuff inserted. II man builds
his whole character structure after the
plan drawn by his mother and upon the
foundation laid by her, he will win the
love Of friends and command the admi-
ration Of strangers; and If he does not
reach the highest round in the ladder
Of fame in this world he will be the re-
cipient Of far greater honors in the
next. Boys, build to the foundation
laid by mother.
Many interesting games have been
played in the political arena at the
National Capital recently, among which
was the one played In the House the
other day. Capt. Tom Reed lined up
his bully boys with glass eyes, dressed
in false faces and masquerade costumes,
for the purpose of kicking the political
pigskin back over the administration
line. He was strongly resisted BY Capt.
Charley Crisp, with arms and legs
akimbo, who bore down on him with all
the power Of his quarterback, half
back, iull-back, ends, center, guards,
and tackle, but owing to the weak and
crippled condition Of Capt. Crisp's lit
tie team from injuries received in the
game of November. '04, Reeds light run
ners secured two touchdowns and
sent the sphere whirling through the
goal. It was a clear case Of being out
numbered, and referee Grover Cleve-
land will doubtless call "foul" on the
burly Tom from Maine, and acquaint
him with the fact that he is on q polit-
ical gridiron.
When it comes to hunting ducks,
twisting the lions tail, throwing bombs
into the enemy's camp and stirring up
all the hornet nests in the world all In
one week, our esteemed friend and
neighbor, G. Cleveland, is without a
parallel, and he is no slouch when 1t
comes to raising a family of girls.
Grover is smart; girls don't have to
90 to war-then, too, girls are so much
nicer than boys. Just think, If Grover
boys should turn out to be girls he
would not be in constant dread Of their
having to go to war, learning to drink
liquor, smoke cigarettes, chew tobacco
and "cuss." Grover is right.
There has been a time-honored GUS
tom among the departments to allow
employees half Of the day preceding all
national holidays, but for some reason
! the cabinet has recently declared all
half holidays off, and the poo~ govern
ment clerks are going about with tears
hanging to their eyelashes, looking as
sad as though they had lost dear rel
ative or front tooth.
Yankees are the shrewdest people In
the world. They have had q law on
the governments statute books ever
since the close of the civil war, prohib-
iting exc Confederate commissioned off,
GERS entering the U. S. Navy or Army,
but as SION as there is shadow OF a
possibility OF q skirmish with foreign
jcountry, and knowing the fighting
qualities of those ex-C Confederates they
hasten to repeal the old law and pre-
sent the chivalrous, (?) magnanimous,
| (p) generous (?) deed to the South as q
Christmas gift, and some Southern
people jump up ana say tnanky .nsy
Mars Yankee" what fools these
mortals be-"
According to the Washington Post,
''Private John" Allen tells his latest
Joke on himself. He says that his old
colored ''mammy," (so common in ev-
ery Southern home in anti'bellum
days) declares that MARS John is
zactly like his pa, who was allus can
didate, and Mars John hain't never
been nuthin' but q candidate sence he
vas grown, "Private John" tells this
as q Joke, but the question arises, can
| it be properly clased as joke, SO far
as he is concernedy
Quite number Of Mississippiaus In
Washington have organized a social
club, and spend some very pleasant
evenings together. Some evenings
they have very interesting. programs,
consisting of essays, recitations, music,
etc. By this means many OF the Mis-
sissippi colony up here become &C.
ouaiuted with each other In q social
way which OF course adds greatly to
their pleasure, and somewhat breaks
the monotony Of city life.

One goes to hear him the first time

because Of his wonderful power to at

plain as an old shoe, as simple as the A,

ever nv pleasure to listen to.
