No. let's have it.
Well. there are several Of our we'll

Thomas, J. w. Buchanan, Sam Vile,
and others whose wives are absent on
visits to distant relatives or refugeeing
from the fever. These temporary
widowers got together in their loneli,
ness and despondeucy, and agitated
the immediate organization OF suicide
club. A message was sent to the dis
tant wives notifying them of the dread
determination, and replies were re-
ceived in due time expressing unquali
fed approval. Then the idea O
organizing was Immediately abandoned

Kan, has reached its third chapter. The
first chapter told how Mrs. Lease borrow
ed good gold dollars on her property, and
then refused to pay them back when the
mortgage became due. She had the money,
but the property had decreased in value,
and they could take it. The second chap

and the property sold. and a deficiency
Judgment obtained against Mrs. Lease, who
vowed and removed that she would fight
the shylocks and Wall street cormorants
and bankers of Lombard street till death
and then some. The third chapter has just

time &c. the right r,en on each OF the

served one change would neeessitase

Speaker Reed is said to have explained
that hts reason for Withholding the list
from publication was that ne intended
waiting until the last moment, spring II
on the members. and. before they bad
time TO read IL, jump on a train and
take refuge in the rock-bound state Of
Maine whore few could reach him.
Probably the list is as satisfactory as
any humanity devised instrument could
De. bat Mr. Reed would have done better
had he left on. Of consideration all geo.
graphical claims and ignored preferences

mar who seemed best to fit the place
For instance. instead OF putting Mr.
Hit In as chairman OF foreign affairs. our
foreign relations should have been looked
have been placed at the head Of COM
mittee on strikes. Newiands should have
had territories. and Tongue or Saye.s the
judiciary. Hull should have had the navy
instead o. .he army. which should have
gone 10 Knox or Cannon. Either Plow-
man. Lamb or Melville Bull could have
managed agriculture. while Mr.. Walker
should have had postroa6s. instead Of
Loud. who would have been better heard
On approx! atoms, and Howell should also

and measures. but he should have been
kept of public lands. and so should
Marsh. ke;chum or Catchings ought 10
have been set 10 look after Indians, and
Fischer on rivers and harbors.
There was nothing specially apprOpri-
ate In making Gardiner chairman OF
labor: the head should have been Barber
IL 70 Smiths were available and Mills
would not serve.
Powers is not so bad for Pacific rail-
roads. but the committee might have been
strengthened by Robbins and Skinner.
George w. Ray Is a good man for invalid
pensions, but he wants one more initial
letter before bis name TO be complete.
Bankhead IS out OF place except on cur
reGcy and banking. and Lensz should
have been with him. The immigration
committee should have gone to Louden-
slayer. Ermentront or Sauerhering. aid
Young should have been conspicuous on
the militia committee.
Either Moon or Meseck was entitled to
a place on postofiices. and Overstreet on
roads. with Wheeler on bicycle paths.
Cooper would have been useful Oh coin
age, and Green on currency.
These few suggestions. had they been
made in time. might have saved MIR. Reed
many a twinge and swear; but he took
nobody into his confidence. and any such
advice as this would probably not have
been appreciated as kindly as 1t viii! be
