Although the result was foregone
conclusion, yet this did not abate the
eager interest attached to the close of
a great contest. Early in the day the
debate was listless, though enlivened
at times with virulent criticism by Sen
ator Allen and by speech from Senator
Burrows of the finance committee.
Senators Gallery, Morgan and Stewart
occupied the time up to three o'clock,
when the vote was prom pity taken.
Then came a long parliamentary battle
over final adjournment. The opposi-
ton endeavored to score point by COM
pelling a vote on laying the presidents
message before the senate, and, sue
ceeding in this, attacked the majority
for refusing to act on the presidents
recommendation. The main desire of
those opposing adjournment was to Sc
cure a vote on the Harris resolution call
ing on the president to stop the sale of
the government interests in the Union
Pacific railroad. For four hours an ac-
rimonious parliamentary contest was
waged. Gradually the tactics of the OPP
position were overcome, ana shortly be-
fore seven o'clock Senator Morgan with.
drew further opposition and the resolu
ton for final adjournment was passed.
complimentary resolutions TO Vice
President Hobart were adopted and at
nine o'clock the final scene was enacted
by the formal adjournment of the ses-
sion.

My mother she's so good to me;
Ell was as good as I could be
l couldn't be as good. No sir,
Can't anybody be as good as her.
She loves me when I'm glad or mad;
She loves me when I'm good or bad;
An what's a funniest thing. she says
She loves me when she Furnishes.
I don't like her to punish me;
That don't hurt, but it hurts to see
Her cryin', men cry, an men
We both cry-and be good again.
She loves me when she cuts and sews
My little cloak and Sunday clothes;
An when my papa comes home to tea
She loves him m ost as much as me.
She laughs an tells him all said,
An grabs me up and pats my head;
An hug her an hug my pa
And love him purt nigh much as ma.

his face clean shaven, his dress
neat His hands were clasped
loosely behind him, his eyes were
bent on the ground, and so deeply
was he thinking that he did not
see the quick stepping, bright-eyed
little old lady coming toward him
until she spoke.
"Day dreaming, Israeli" she said
in half laughing tone. II do be-
ieve you'd walk right over me and
never know I was there, if I didn't
give warning of my approach
The old man gave a start and
looked his blue eyes Frightening
aud his face breaking in to smiles.
"Well, we'll, Maryv he said, shak.
ing both her hands and holding
them for an instant afterward. IL
am glad to see you. l was think
in only yesterday that twas about
time you was back from Ellen's.
And how be We? You're looking
real clipper"
II do feel as smart as ever did
in my life, only other folks wont
believe it. Katie, now, thought l
oughtn't stir out of the house to-
day, being as came from El1en's
yesterday; but told her [ had been
hived up long enough, and 1 was
going to walk out as fairs the

Eyes; had a cold last winter:
just common, ordinary cold-and
you'd "a thought it was pneumony
at the very least. Marthy and
James took turns stayin' with me,
and the up shot of it all was that it
want safe for me to be livin' alone,
and must go and live with them.
And l tell you, Mary, there amt
been a day nor night that 1 hain't

II know just how you feel" said
the little old lady, sympathetically.
"Twas just so with me when 1
broke up and went to live with my
granddaughter"
"Ain't they kind to YEP" asked the
old man, solicitously.
"Oh. land, yes" laughed the little
old lady. "They couldn't be kinder.
They arrange everything for me,
between 'em. I must stay with
Katie in summer, because it's
cooler and pleasanter in the coun-
try then; and must spend my win
tiers with Ellen, because her house
is heated with a furnace and there's
more goin' on in the city. And
they're both dreadful afraid I'll
overwork, or not get sleep enough,
or eat something that won't agree
with me, or hurt my eyes or have
fall, or something equally awful.
It's we'll meant; but there! Israel,
sometimes I feel as if I'd just like
to overwork, and eat what would
disagree with me, and sit up until
