after having adopted a resolution to
meet Monday at 10 o'clock.
Forgot Where He Was.
An amusing incident occurred In the
Senate yesa erday. Mr.. Cooke. member
OF the House from Norfolk. was in the
chamber, and Mr.. Lovenstein. who was
in the chair. asked If the Senator from
Norfolk referring to Mr.. Snead) wished
a certain bill placed upon the calendar.
MIR. Cooke. ever ready 10 promote the in
terests OF the city he represents. and for
getting that he was on the side OF the
house in which he had no voice. promptly
told the President pro tenn that he did.
The roars OF laughter with which his
motion was received by the body caused
him to realize his absent-mindel mistake,
and he joined in the laugh at his own
expense.
May Adjourn To-MorrOw Night.
The probabilities are now that the SEES
sion Of the Legislature will end Monday
at midnight. The sentiment Of the mem
bers of both the Senate and the House
seems TO be opposed to extending 1t for

offered in the lower branch.

ing town of Coyingtoa; a few gears
ago a negro woman living near Coyipg-
ton lost a son, by death. A week or 50
ago the woman had a dream in which
the sou appeared 10 her and told her
that If she would go TO = certain corner
of the house and dig she would find =
fat rock, underneath which she would
find q lot of silver money. The woman
awoke and was SO much wrought up
over the vision that she aroused some
of the family and went at once to the
designated spot and began to dig.
Soon the fat rock was reached and re-
moved with trembling hands and high
expectation. A small box was re-
vealed; this was taken out and opened,
and, TO the wonder and establishment
of all present, it contained 30 silver

Not necessarily. He may be cons

of the Modern Curse.
Much il said about American dys-
pepsia, but there ia one native race Of
America that Is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse. The
sturdy little EskimOs defy all the laws
of hygiene and thrive. The Eskimo,
like the ordinary dweller in America,

this difference, that he is never salts
fed while a shred of his feast remains
unconsumed. His capacity is limited
by the supply, and by that only.
lie cannot make any mistake, says
the Youths Companion, about the
manner of cooking his food-for as a
rule he does not cook it-nor, SO far as
the blubber or fat of the arctic animal
Is concerned, about his method of eat
ing 1t, for he simply does not cat il; he
cuts IL into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick, and then lowers the
strips down his throat as one might
lower a rope into a well.
And after all that he does not suffer
from Indigestion. He can make a good
meal OF the flesh and skin of the wal
rus, provision so hard and gritty that
In cutting up the animal the knife must
be continually sharpened.
The teeth of thelittle Eskimochild will
meet in bit of walrus skin as the teeth
OF an American child would meet IN the
flesh Of an apple. And that when the
hide Of the walrus is from half an inch

bears considerable resemblance 10 the
skin Of an elephant The Eskimo child
will bite IT and digest it. too, and never
know what dyspepsia means.
