CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

THE POWERS OF THE SPEAKER.
Most of the bills introduced in Con-
gress are petty measures of SPECIAL leg
islation with which the National Legis-
lature ought net to deal. General legis-
lation and, under authority of law, ad-
m.lnisuative action might relieve the
two houses Of great deal of their pres
emit vast business, which is not proper
business at all The House of Repre-
sentatives in tbs membership is now
more than five Times as large as it was
when all the original states had rati-
fled the Constitution. There is Prob
ably no prospect that the number Of its
members Will be materially reduced.
But 1t must he hoped, and public opin-
ion ought to demand, that this number
should not be further increased by the
next apportiOnment which will he made
in few years, and possibly by The
next Congress.
If popular government Is to be per-
petuated in this country the House OF
Representatives must be restored TO its
functions as a deliberal.ive body. Care
full consideration and discussion areone
of the chief objects Of its existence aud
its principal duty. Free and full oe-
bate must be recognized as a right as
sacred as the members right of voting
Sooner or later the speaker will have
to content himself with his proper
duties, and II necessary, he must be
divested OF the power of appointing
committees. A reform of the House of
Representatives is more necessary
than reform of the rules which regu-
late the Senate's proceedings.-B

COUNTERFEIT MILEAGE TICKETS
b. & o. r. r.

Recently there appeared in Pittsburg
a man giving the name of R. c. Lucas,
accompanied by a woman calling her
self May Anderson, who attempted to
dispose of counterfeit B. & o. Mileage
Books. They did succeed in selling
some to the brokers, and then departed
for Cleveland, where they registered at
the American House as r. c. Lucas and
wife.
In their efforts to dispose of the
spurious tickets, they aroused suspi-
cions, which were at once communicated
to the b. & o. Agent, who Immediately
took such action as led to the arrest
and conviction of the woman. who was
found guilty of selling counterfeit tick
cts. and sentenced to six months in the
work-house, and to pay fine of $500
and costs.
The man succeeded in making his es-
cape, but as he is known to the railroad
people and the police, his arrest is only
question Of time.
The b. & o. officials have taken every
precaution to prevent the sale OF use OF
these spurious tickets, and have eX-
pressed a determination to prosecute
to the fullest extent of the law anyone
caught attempting to use counterfeit
mileage, or other bogus forms of trans
portatiOn, and will be especially vigOr
GUS against brokers found offering
them for sale.

Was I'm tke Wrong Business.
The Balder twins have been getting
into trouble again. This time it was
with a new clearinghouse keeper who
had bought out the Widow Clancy's
business and didn't know there was a
twin in it. The widow had always been
generous to a fault-her own and every-
lbody's else-but the new dispenser of
provender had talent for measuring
and slipping and keeping tally on every
buscuit that was served. She saw Har-
old, the thinnest twin, eating his sup
per, and the dimensions of his appetite
was, and was told that he was regular
Iboarder and belonged to the Balder
family, but not a word of his being a
twin.
"Land salSel" she said, "he must be
hollow from his head to his heels. l
can never make any money with such
a cormorant as that to feedl"
She saw pork and beans, fried hash.
eggs on toast and bread without stint
disappearing under the hungry admin
istration of a boys appetite. and she
hurried into the china pantry and took
out small memorandum book and be-
gan figuring on profit and loss. She
was at it some time, and when she re-
turned to the dining-room she expected
to find it empty. What was her horror

she tackled the boy.
"You must be hungry" she said, with
whitening sarcasm.
''You bet 1 am" said the other twin.
Eugene, as he began to devour the
nearest dish.
Young man, you'll have a fit of
apoplexy, and 1 won't be half sorry.
Anybody who gorges himself with two
suppers ought to die"
Eugene understood in a fash, but he
only said, demurely:
''Wait until I've eaten this one-may-
lbe won't need any more"
The new clearinghouse keeper went
Through the apartments in fury, look
ing for the Balders, toinform them that
their son was eating himself to death.
The first one she saw was the boy him
self playing checkers with his father.
Her eyes grew round.
"How on earth did you get here be-
fore me?" she asked.
"Oh, that was dead easy" said Har-
old, who saw the usual complications.
and he was happy. 81 came as soon as
I finished my supper"
''But you had just begun all over
again." shriel0ed the tormented and
perplexed woman, and then Father
Balder came to the rescue and ex-
planned about the twins. But the awe
stricken head of the commissary de-
partment said that she should sell out.
for she thought there was something
uncanny about the Chicago
Gimes-Herald.

The Bow Couture.

/ Among other novelties, the startling
change which has descended upon us
in the matter of coiffures is not the least
remarkable. We have borrowed our
fashions this year from almost all
sources, but chiefly from the early days
of the present century. 1t is certainly
from those good old days that the re-
vival of bows Of flhair has come back to
us. The loops generally stand upright,
but may lie more fatty. Jewels looped
over the hair will be worn again. just
as they used to be, only they do not
hang over the forehead, but are set
further back on the head. The bow
coiffure is gaining in popularity. and
there are many variations of the same.
1t may be enhanced by artificial cher
ries or punches of artificial grapes. The
eherries are specially becoming to a
runette.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

cHAINLEss BICYCLES.

The above name has come TO mean a
safety bicycle, driven with some con-
Meeting device between the pedal shaft
and rear hub, which dispenses with the
well-known driving chain. or course,
all of the original rubber-tired bicycles
were chainless, but as the wheels were
large, the cranks were connected di-
rectly to the wheel axle We hear
much of the relative merits of chain
VS. gear, and are often asked which is
best.
We do not attach too much import
ance to tests which are made in the
laboratory, inasmuch as the wheel is to
be ridden outside OF the laboratory.
Briefly stated, the chief objections TO
a chain are that il wears, and hence
gets "out of pitch" and that 1t is Sc
riOusly interfered with by mud and
dust. Its advantages are that it is SIM
pie and easy to repair, and that 1t per-
mits imperfect alignment of the sprock-
ct wheels, whether the fault is in the
manufacture or caused by the subse-
quent springing Of the frame
The advantages of the gear are that
il admits of a very neat appearance,
and is easily kept claen on the outside
and well oiled on the inside. It's dis
advantages are that it must be some
what heavier, costs more to make and
is not so easy 10 repair. AS to ease OF
propulsion, either may be superior to
the ether. according to workmanship
and conditions. We believe, however
that for heavy hill climbing the bevo
geared wheel will net run so easily as
a good chain; while for cOasting ol
running where but little power is used
lhe gears might make a better showing

For the Tired HOusekeeper to Re

A living-room without couch is a
room but poorly furnished. In fact,
there is no room in the house except the
kitchen where o lounge is out of place.
1T is almost a necessity in the sleeping

1T is useful in the upperhall or in the IL

where the tired housekeeper may well
retire from the tolls of the kitchen and

strength greater, for such a brief rest

upholstered couch, in whose concealed
depths dust and vermin may easily

home mechanic insert q set of single
bed springs or a wOven-wire mattress

inches wide. Mount this frame on cas-
ltors, lifting it about nine inches from

size over it. Cover it with a movable
cover of heavy muslin, and over this
drape a Bagdad rug or arrange slip

lows of feathers or down for the

materials in harmony with the various
