WHAT has the Legislature done anyhow
They nave been in session since the 10Th
day 81 January, and What few bills they
have acted upon favorably, the Governor
has seen fit to veto. Some of the members,
who enjoy an outing away from home,
have had more fun since they were elected
to the Legislature than tvor befUrciu their
lives 1t has been one continuous round
Of pleasure, with little to 40, plenty to eat
and work for their patent ink pnllers
while talking over public matters with the
lobbyists, male and female, who have made
their appearance AZ Dover during Tho SEES
sion. Nothing Is more pleasant 10 some
rural nombers than to have fair lob
byist tickle them under the chin and look
sweet at them, and ask in the hlaudcst
manner what they intend doing with the
bill they are Interested in. This session Of
the Legislature has certainly taken the
bun.

Mr.. JOHN 7. DiCKEY and tho owners of

snly ones who were opposed to the trading
BtAmps were the newspapers and the ,ncr-
chants who were unable to procure stamps
10 give their customers, As 1t is good
thing and the members of the Senate say
that the merchants shall not have what
oheY want, the people should now insist
that with every purchase thoy should be
s given trading stamps. To make the prae-
7 tice obnoxious is for the public to insist on
Receiving trading stamps Then some
! dozen nero hants from our city told the
members Of the General Assembly that
the stamps benefited their business and
they thought the Legislature should not
Interfere with their rights as merchants.
They should be compelled to give trading
stamps with every purchase made from
them, Cooperative plans have been tried
before, but have never succeeded. The
trading stamps hive knocked them silly.

 T touched the cord that was vibrat- ing" he said. .'There hardly seemed any need to ask. I only spoke half an hour-a brief half hour. And then the money began to come in. All oyer the auditorium people began writing out cards and sending them up. The sums ranged from 50 cents to $10.000.
 Hive hundred and more people con tributed to it, I should say, made up this amount. I call this S112,000 actual cash, but some of it was pledged. That IS, it was not handed up to us in money but was put at our disposal. The S1o,- GOO will come to us during the year, probably in two or three or four checks as we dit as we call for it, perhaps S2,500 at once, perhaps even $5,00O in a lump.
 The names of tbe donors we do not like to give. We ourselves know them. but should we make these names pub- lie, much of the contributing would be cut off. These people give quietly: they do not want to be found out. One contributor is lady who gives us &. GOO year That this may not be found out, that the risk of it's being even sus- peeted may be lessened, she sends this money to us-always-in three sep arate checks. Many people know that she contributes to the Alliance, but no one that she gives anything like this sum.
 Wonderful, do you say. that we raise all this money? No, not at all! The object of the Christian alliance ras been to seek through the country and find out people who believed in deep- CT spiritual life and return to the apostolic idea, people who would devote certain part of their income to our aims You will not find people of fash ion among us, though you will find many who have much money. These people give us so much year after year. We can count on them.

Jove I could not whistle that tune to save my neck and you will admit that said neck needed saving right at this moment.
 "Then l began to think how 1 was to get past the fellow-if there really was man over by the wall. You see was more than half convinced that my nerves and imagination were at work again. I determined on detour around the other side of the piano, and, stepping along brisldy, with just as unconscious an air as l could mus ter, passed behind the piano, and around by the door. The man never moved from his position by the wall, and got out safely, with the convic- tion that trying to prove thing to cne's self isn't always a wise thing to do, as I had only succeeded i'll rem dering my nerves all the more cratic by my second visit.
 T reached home and turned in for the night.
 Next morning had hardly finished breakfast when the doorbel rang fu- riously and the senior warden of the church was ushered in.
 Were you at the church last night, Robyn" he said, much excited, and without waiting for my answer went on to tell me that thieves had broken in, stolen the entire new carpet of the Sunday school room, the communion service, all the cushions they could lay their hands on, part of the library and, in short, pretty much everything of value.
 They were undoubtedly there dur ing my stay in the church, and it is mighty lucky for me that they didn't brain ne when I passed the fellow in the Sunday school room. But he eyi- dently felt secure in the fact that I could see hardly at all, and had made any motion that would have betrayed myself or the fact that did see him, it would have been all up with me.
 But whistling is a great comfort, there's no doubt about it. Only you want to make sure that your whistle will work well at all times. St Louis Republic

 But I continued to whistle, oh. dear, yes; and I think I went through that silly ballad tune twice while 1 stood and like Mieawber waited for some thing to turn up. Nothing turned, and my hair finally regained it's normal position on my head.
 Then, walking boldly through the room. I stepped out at the front door, unlocked it and down the steps o the sidewalk, winding up the chorus of Maggie with a flourish.
 And then, and then only, did I realize that had been whistling the tune at all.
 Walking up the street in the direc- tion of my car 1 thought over the af- fair and the more I thought the more convinced was I that somebody was hidden away in that Sunday-sehool room.
 If it is a tramp and he stays there all night and sets the church on fire, my conscience will prick me forever afterward,' was my final conclusion. Clearly it was my duty to find the po- liceman on this beat and go back to the church.
 But, concluding to find policeman and then finding him are two totally diff ferent propositions, as you may have heard before. After hunting about ten minutes or so-it was raining, too, by this time, coming down hard-I gave tip the struggle, and resolved to go back alone.
 If there is no one there, then I'll just prove to myself that I've been i1n- aginative and nervous, and that's what I'm beginning 10 think, anyhow So back went

The man of God" who on his pulpit platform in New York has the Midas toi1eh and at a beckoning of his finger can draw money in thousands out or the pockets of an audience plaln III fashion and in speech, largely of the humber classes. Rev. 4. k SlmP- son, of the Christian and Missionary alliance. is assurediy character Tn the religious world of to-day. 1t was this preacher that on October 16, in Inorning and evening meeting in his auditorium, the Episcopal tabernacle, amassed the sum of S112,000 i'll actual cash. By many thousands is this the "collection record" The man who has accomplished, however, does not con- sider it at all extraordinary.
 within a few years, he said, the other night, in the study of his resi- dence at Nyack, N. r., T expect our offering will amount to million dol lars-yes, in one single day"
 It has been contended by many that at these scenes of offering" there was much stage play" that while some money undoubtedly did pour in, great proportion of the sums announced were fictitious, intended merely to arouse the assemblage and stimulate it into giv- ing. To many it has seemed incredible that such total as S96.000 could be do- mated in single morning. People have more than once openly doubted the possibility. But competent au- thority has made it known that the financial miracle has really been wrought.
 Seated opposite this man in his study I talked with him for an hour and more, watching closely his face anG bearing, seeing if 1 could detect any thing of a mask in this preaeher-ex- horter, mannerism that would reveal a possible deception. It was impor- tant to learn this-the fact of the au thenticity of these 'offerings"- though of the value of the service of the alliance at home and in foreign lands there can be no doubt.
 Under this scrutiny the famous evan eeIist did not for a moment finch. He went quietly on with his very simple tale. His sim, ministerial figure in it's suit of clerical black lay back in g half coiled attitude in his big study chair. The room had rows of book shelves around three sides, desk that looked like the desk of financier, and a library table, untidy with it's litter of papers and volumes.
