the Legislators who are on the fence
The latest census of the members of
the house willing to express themselves
indicates that the friends sandr oppc-

divided, and that the wavering, or
those on the fence, hold the balance Of
power.
1t is not only common gossip, but
has been publicly declnreds from the
platform by representative and respon-
sible citizeus that Doodle fund Of q.
half-milIion dollars is Ia Springfield
awaiting the final passage Of the. meas
ures before distribution. and that the
bulk of this sum has already been al
lotted on paper to those senators
whose votes enabled the measure togo
through the upper house. The dis
tricts represented by these senators
have been placarded at the instance Of
reform organizations with posters de-
nouncing them as unworthy their
names being encircled with, suggestive
dollar marks. Out of these tactics
have grown several libel suits. . "A 4

 Who is not interested in the story of the Pilgrims? How we delight to know something of the personal life of the founders of New England; their trials and tribulations, their loves and TO- mances. Not few traditions have been handed down to us. Longfellow has made use of one of the most attractive of these, and in his "Courtship of Miles Standish" has embalmed it in litera- ture. Semi-historical novels have been based on the pretty legend; but it does not seem to have occurred to anyone until recently that Puritan life and tra- ditions are capable of good-natured and humorous operatic treatment. Yet, when once the suggestion is made, it daWns upon all what an exquisite trav- esty may be made of Longfellow' S dainty taie; the difiident lover so em- barrassingly charged with the suit of another; the gruff warrior, hiding his passion under the guise of business, and the precise and eminently proper ways of the men and women of the time, in whom, however, human nature asset ted itself much as it does at the present day.
