Regarding the session of the Illinois
General Assembly At Springfield last
spring Republican member of the
House--a man believed TO be entirely
trustworthy-sad: THE corporations
dictated the commltteeships in so far
rs they believed their interests de-
manded t. or course they did not
recommend all the members OF COM
mlttees, but only enough TO control
matters. There Is no doubt that the
gateway to places upon the important
committees lay through the favor of
certain representatives of corporate
capital.
Among the lobbyists at Springfield
last spring was an eN.member OF the
XLth General Assembly. He confessed
to me that he received money for his
vote upon several occasions while he
was in the Legislature. know he was
telling the truth, for confirmation Of his
statement had reached me from rell'

the farmers all over that part of the
country. Well, the first evening was
passed in the big dining room, all of
us crowded about the roaring log fire.
That is, all of us, excepting the young
lawyer from New York and-myself.
We were seated on a chintz-covered
soap-box, off in a dim corner of the
room, discussing-er-the possibilities
of effect of mlstletoe on--ah-mankind.
Before the candles were brought in to
announce the time for disappearing
We two had begun to understand each
other. 1t was our first meeting, but in
the country, and at Christmastide, peo-
pie become acquainted very quickly.
THE next morning we all arose at
o'clock, and after the jolliest kind Of a
breakfast, we hauled in great punches
of evergreen, reels of crowfoot moss,
and pile after pile of holly and mistle-

on Christmas morning, and these
were suspended from the branches OF
the tree. Mistletoe was everywhere,
and so were the girls. The conse-
quence will be readily understood-the
men were not of the variety known as
shy.
1T was long past midnight when We
trooped OF to orr rooms and o'clock
struck before the last good night rang
down the darkened hallway. AS soon
as all was quiet, stole from my room,
and tip-toed down the corridor to my
cousin Stella's door. 1t was locked,
but tapped gently, and was soon ad-
mitted. We two girls slipped down
stairs, where l had told the butler Gan
old servant of my uDc!e'sl to wait for
us. And the. we put our three heads
together and concocted grand
scheme, for the undoing Of everybody
in the house. We tugged and hauled
that big overloaded Christmas tree
from the parlor, through the hall into
the library, and then We exchanged
the names on all the presents. 1t was
almost daylight before We finished. but
We were amply repaid for our trouble.
BY 8 o'clock everybody was dressed
and down stairs, exchanging greetings
and gifts. Stella and / were the last
to arrive, and our entrance was the
signal for a grand rush to the pastor.
And 10! the big Christmas tree had
flown. My uncle was enraged, the
guests much excited, and the young
lawyer from New York looked very
much amused A search was prompt
ly instituted, and of course the tree
was found in the library, standing in
stately solitude.
who on earth could have put 1t
there? No one knew-and no one
could guess-Stella ana / were particu-
larly obtuse. And after awhile the
presents were distributed. The young
married woman's card was inclosed in
a bundle of embroidered flannel petit
coats to my darling husband, and
darling husband presented his little
love- with volume Of Mother Goose
tales, and red bathing suit; my old
maid cousin received Dutch pipe and
a pair of hunting trousers: my uncle
got half dozen tulle wells and pair
of gold garter clasps"

A western lady who formerly lived at

piest Christmas of her life. The climax
Of this merry occasion was a house
party given at the home of her uncle
not many miles from Cambridge. The
lady writes:
MY uncle owned big place about
twenty miles from town, and every
year he invited all his relatives to
spend the Christmas holidays with
him. He was widower with two chill
