SOME HOT SPEECHES.
Democratic Members Criticize Each 9th
ers Votes on the Revenue BILL

| WASHINGTON, May 3.What promis-
| ed to be an uneventful and uninteresting
session of the House was thrown sudden
Iy, after three hours consideration of pr-
/ waite bills, into session of spirited
speechmaking among Democratic mem
bers that savored at times much of acri-
mony. The storm was precipitated by
Mr. Lewis Dem, Washn.), who referred
in the course of a speech to the recent
vote of Mr. Cummings, of New York. in
support of the war revenue bul with it's
Incorporated bond feature. He made ref
erence toAAIr. Cummingss assertion that
this period was a time for placing the
country above party. intimating that the
New York member had served the Re
publican party and perhaps contributed to
the satisfaction of unpatriotic monopo-
lists and capitalists This brought an
impassioned and patriotic speech in reply
from Mr.. Cummings, interspersed with
some sarcastic comments that intensified
the interest and called an outpouring of
members from the cloak rooms. Mr.
Clark Dem, MOI. entered the lists and
proceeded to criticize unreservedly six
Democrats who had voted for the revenue
bill on it's final passage, and questioned
their Democracy Messrs. Fitzgerald
(Mass), and McAleer Penna), two other
Democrats who voted for the bill, were
heard in defense of their votes and in ref
utation of the Missouri member. Just be-
fore the recess until the night session
was taken, the leader of the Democrats,
Mr.. Bailey CTexas), spoke briefly in depre-
cation of the speeches Of the Democratic
members as being subject to misconstruc-
ton, indicative of more serious differences
within the party than really existed He
reviewed the record to show that no APP
preciable ground for such construction
existed.

The Rev. Mrs. Munns

The Rev Mary Munns of Dawson.
Spring county, Ky, though a woman of
limited education, has been licensed as
Il preacher by theological college of
that state, and by her eloquence and
surprising works is creating a sensa-
tion in the southwest. She declares that
although after her conversion in 1869 she
was strongly urged by the inward spirit
to preach the Gospel, difIldence in her
powers caused her to refuse, whereupon,
as punishment, God deprived her of
the use of her hands and feet.
When this afIiiction fell upon her she
prayed in these words:
20 Lord, if it is thy will that should
take to the pulpit for the conversion of
sinners, restore me the use of my limbs
as a confirmatory sign"
This was at night, and next morning,
when she rose from her bed, she did so
without assistance. Not only that. but
she fully possessed the power of her
hands and feet, and, as it seemed to her,
found an eloquence on her tongue she
had never known before. Since she en-
tered the pulpit she has preached 1913
sermons and been instrumental in the
conversion Of thousands of sinners She
does not claim to work miracles, but her
followers and admirers assert that the
power of healing.
Mrs. Munns was born in 1852 in Ken
lucky. She is descended from a race of
pastors, and is the Sam Small among
women preachers.-Kansas City Star.

A Mystery of Literature

Some time ago gentleman of literary
tastes who subscribes for all the best
magazines read a poem in his favorita
perodical-read and reread 1t, but failed
to grasp its meaning. He was persuad-
ed, however, that it had a meaning or
its own, or it would not have appeared
in a periodical enjoying reputation as
a judge of good literature. He there
fore submitted it to critic who made
a speciality of that kind of work. but the
latter returned 1t with the Endorsement:
You are too much for me this time?

good health and can't lose any more

WINGED that there must be something in
it. he wrote a friendly letter to the editor
asking to oblige numerous readers by
explaining the poem.
Several weeks elapsed before the re-
ceived the following letter from the edi-
tor-in- chief:
"My Dear Sir-I was interested to read
your letter. Although the poem ap-
peared in our publication, must admit
that l do not quite catch the authors 8

you. Perhaps he can throw some light
on the subject. ] can't. Yours truly"
etc.
He took the EDITORS advice and tackled
the author. who. being unable to explain
the thing himself. replied evasively:
THE things of God are foolish to the
world"

poem by him as one of the curiosties Of

GIRLS CARRY LATCH KEYS
The Womanly Spirit Asserts Itself in
Heart Shaped Rings

Not content with wrestling every
known perquisite Of emancipated man.
the Bachelor Girl has now torn the last
sacred belonging from his. This time it
is the latch key that goes-the latch key
that heretofore has been supposed to be
the sole property of the man about town,
who meanders home in the Wee small
hours, somewhat the worse for wear.
But the Bachelor Girl is nothing if not
determined, and so she has adopted the
last remaining article that man could
cali his own. When the key came the
pocket had 10 come with it, Of course,
ana now it is cut in the back of the dress
skirt, very near the belt line, and with a
bit of a flap over it to conceal the fact

scious that she may at least enter her
own door at all sorts of coveted and fas-
cinating hours without arousing every
one, from the butler to the aged grand
parent, who "disapproves, Harriet, dis
approves"
When the pocket came the key chain
had to follow in its wake, and behold,
from a suspended button proudly sewn
to the tailor girls ''Weskit' hangs the
jewelers. device. for she has not been
cmancipated long enough to leave off
sterling silver and take To plain nickel
plate She will, though, when moons
have rolled around and she becomes as
wise as that latch key will let her be.
The chains come in all the loveliest de-
signs that ever cajoled maid-a maid,
that is, who has not become SO mannish
that she cannot see why she should not
wear carved links and gem-set gold coils
to suspend her door key from.
Some of them have dogs heads linked
together, with emerald eyes, and much
fobbery attached, but The majority are
plain, with oXidzed or frosted surfaces,
and as fiat as possible. The iat ones do

ness she was forced into some Of the

A THRIFTY INDIAN GIRL
She Secured an Education and Fur
nished Home

| In 1892 the "Seger" school was built in
Oklahoma territory, among a colony OF
Cheyennes and Arapahoes, considered
among the widest, most backward and
non progressive of all the Indians. For
tunately the superintendent of the new
school, John Homer Seger, had already
gained their confidence In another capac-
| ity, so that when they were asked to put
| their children in school they said that
they would as soon as they were weaned
And they carried this out literally.
| Many incidents are told illustrating
the splendid work which has already
been accomplished, directly and indi-
rectly, by the school, for often the intlu-
ence in the community is equal to the
actual amount of education within this
| school walls.
| One of the girl pupils, who entered the
school when it opened, has had quite a
remarkable record. Having no previous
education and leaving her really savage
home for the first time, she has demon
strated what education is doing and will
do for the red man. There is system in
nearly all the government Indian schools
by which those pupils who are both in
dustrious and frugal may earn money
| in the sewing room, or on the farm, or in
some one of the schools other industrial
departments. OF course. this must be
outside of their regular work. This
young girl, after taking a regular course
as scholar. was judged capable Of fill
ing salaried position. In the course of
short time she filled not one, but sew
eral, and worked in the sewing room
besides. Out of her savings she bought
a wagon. harness, team. organ, bedroom
set and a sewing machine, all in view of
her prospective marriage to a young
Indian to whom she was engaged, and
when they We're married she took
enough savings with her to build neat
home. All this was accomplished in
three years time.-Cincinnati Tribune

THE FAD" GIRL
Nations Defenders Are Asked to Help

In the rage for belts and buckles there
comes a new fad for the girl of style to

Persian Lamb Skins

The skin of the Persian lamb is dyed
in this country as lustrously and well
as abroad. and garments of this are pur-
chased cheaper in this country than
elsewhere in the world, says the New

purposes began to find popularity with
the appearance of electric seal. or brown
dyed rabbit fur, from which the hair had
been eliminated by machinery. 1t takes
a good furrier to tell at a glance the diff
ference between the real seal and it's en-
itation, whereas the real Persian lamb
garment is easily recognized by even in

A NOVELTY
School in Paris Where Blushing Is
Taught

IduSuC
A school where blushing is taught is
the latest novelty in Paris, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. If there is any place
where blushing has become a lost art.
one would certainly think it was Paris
but the Parisians, on the other hand. de-
clare that it is result of Anelomana
and the influence of the American girl.
The young woman who plays golf and
rides a bicycle in "rationals," in the
freeSt camaraderie with her male
friends, is likely to acquire self-poise
which will make the flush of embarrass-
nent stranger to her cheeks, and the
city where women are bicycling on the
boulevard, with their bare knees ex-
posed, has felt the necessity of a reac-
dion. The classic grace and simplicity
of the early years of the century. with
their accompanying downcast eyes and
Shippers. are now in vogue again, and
the maidens who have forgotten how to
blush are going to school to learn that
primitive art. They say it is easy
enough to droop the eyes and affect BASH
fulness. but TO call up mantling color
is as difficult as pulling eyeteeth.
How the crimsoning flow of red blood
to the pallid cheeks is accomplished in
these fin de steele schools of department
it is hard to imagine, unless it is that
they have taken page out of DuMaur-
ier's joke book and emulate the society
girl who surprised her friend by always
blushing at the right time. How can
you manage it?" asked the other girl,
enviously. "Oh, it is very easy" the ex-
merit blusher replied. "I SimDlV think of
something that makes me blush"
