Washington, February 3.-The
Nicaragua canal bill, which was
ordered reported from the House
Committee on Commerce today,
has an excellence chance of pas

had three little kittens found the nest and
took it IS home for her young ones. The
old hen remained on the nest part of the

she saw the kittens there she seemed to
regard thenl as her progeny. She would
hover them in the nest and cluck to them
with the greatest complacency The cat
didn't want co give up her children, how

kittens, while the hen remained in posses

family discovered the hens theft, however,
and restored the kittens to their real

1 HAD heard the whistle of the postman
at the door, and leaned over the
banisters to inquire of my landlady if
there were any letters for me.
There was no immediate response to my
query, and | inferred from the suspicious
silence that either Mrs. Metcalfe or her
daughter was inspecting my letters,
probably reading the postcards, if there
were any.
One card from my tailor to notify me of
his removal; one from Louis Durande to
tell me that he could not keep a certain
engagement with me and letter from
Percy Cresmer, who had warmed his slip
pers at the same college fire with me
scarcely three years ago.
His epistle ran thus:
"DEAR BELTON: | claim your congratula

GETTING THEIR MONEYS WORTH.

That chap with a mania for getting his moneys worth is familiar charac- ter in this business" said a hotel clerk the other evening. "A few days ago a man registered here early in the morn- ing, was assigned a room, and hurried out to attend to some business. saw no more of him until about dusk, when he dropped in to inquire for mail, and remarked incidentally that he would leave on the night train Very we'll, I said, and made out a bill for the use of the room during the day. Use of the room! he exclaimed; why, haven't even opened the door' I can't help that, Sir, I replied It was held at your disposal, and I'll have to make the charge Then give me the key!' heroared in a fury; if have to pay for using it I'll see that I get my money's worth!' He rushed up stairs, threw the bed clothing all over the floor stamped on the pillows, and crumpled up all the towels. Then he came down and paid the bill with the air of a man who has done something clever. The net cost of his performance was probably eight or nine cents for laundry, and it's chief re- suit was to give considerable unneces- sary work to tired chambermaid who was in nowise responsible for his griev- ance. Yet I dare say he will boast for months how he made the hotel sweat for trying to impose on him."

He rushed into the dining room and ordered everything he could think of, his sole idea being to get even for that charge It was sumptuous repast and what he couldn't eat he messed up. When he got through the waiter hand ed him a check for $40. Whats that for?' he asked in surprise. Your din ner, Sir said the waiter. But I've all ready paid for 1t in my bill,' he pro- tested.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX GIVES
 A CHuDREN'S PARTY

l As told in New Orleans by the New | Orleans Times-Democrat is the follow | ing: The other afternoon Mrs. Wilcox entertained all the little girls along
 the beach before they would return to their city homes and school. dozen or more of the misses arrived about half an hour before the time set and
 sat whispering and ehivering about
 rocks and galleries of The Bungalow
 till their hostess discovered them. It
 is in such occasions as these that Mrs.
 Wilcox rejoices She did not time un-
 necessary in the mauvais quart d'heure
 usual to grown up parties, but at once
 sat her little guests down to well-lad- ened tables and entered into just the quality of conversation which would appeal to little folk.
 These felt so much at home at once that they made no pretense of playing with the dainties, but consumed cakes and comfits to the limit of their capa- city Please unbutton my belt" re- quested one young lady helping herself to some caramels. Mrs. Wilcox ac- commodated her, but as this did not bring perfect relief, two under waist bands were loosened, the last one springing open, leaving a gap. The young woman sighed with relief and fell to with renewed 2est. A ten-year- old laid a cream-puff that was rather too expansive for her indextrous handling upon her plate with the re- mark that she didn't like that cake" Others were at once offered and the young miss wasD piacated. Isn't it droll?" asked Mrs. Wilcox as an aside. "One only finds unveneered nature among children. Fancy one complain ing of the comestbles at big peoples partiesi"
 When three plates apiece of ice cream and quantities of the other deli cacies had been put beyond the range of the naked eye, conversation became fluent. Without any relation to what had been said a little girl blushed very red and remarked Mrs. Will cox, what do you think? Every body along the Beach calls me Mrs. Freddy Welsh!" Whereupon she clapped her hands before her face in unconcealed embarrassment.
