/. Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Jones

there was no foundation for the report

:. II have had no correspondence pm
that subject with any one" he said;
"and no suggestions Of that nature
have ever been made to me by any
one, nor have I suggested 1t to any
one. Indeed, the subject has never
entered my mind until saw the report
in the newspapers. There is no occa-
sion for meeting of the national
committee at this time, and no meeting
is liable to be held. In a word, the re-
port is without foundation"

Washington, Dec. %. - Advices re-
ceived at the state department from
Minister Conger indicate that the re-
port that the international agreement
was signed at Pekin Wednesday was
erroneous. While it is said that the
agreement may have been signed yes

there appears to be reason for the .be-

and that it may be necessary to again

think I'm sent for; there's some
thing besides old Father Time after
me, surely. Here is the very answer
to my dismals as to those boys and
their doings. But here comes Dorothy,
singing, apparently in very cheerful
mood.

"Johnnie's trousers are all right for

over my precious tin box, and I find

Perhaps Dorothy noticed an unusual
expression on my manly countenance,
for she paused and said: What are
you thinking about? What has this
old year been saying to you? Are you
meeting all by yourself?"
only a. few ideas have struck me,
Dorothy. Il rather like this den of
mine, especially tonight, and one or
two articles in these books here seem
to have been written especially for me,
and an uncomfortable little voice
has been questioning me. A thought
strikes me that we, you and I, have
drifted apart rather more than 1 ever
dreamed We could. There has been

The man has only to breathe deeply
to take the first great step in the right
way.
Empty the lungs by breathing out as
as much as possible. and then slowly
draw in and in until the chest is ex-
panded to it's fullest.
Five minutes, or even one minute, of
this exercise twice a day will work
wonders.
Another leaflet issued by the same
club gives the following instruction as
regards walking:
To walk properly, to get an elastic,

Every normal man does miles of
walking every day regardless of cars
and carriages.
Let him make bis walking a little
more careful, q little more thoughtful
No need to take an extra step unless
the delight of it inspires the effort.
Let him walk with head up, chin
down, shoulders back, abdominal mus
cles tense and ending each step with a
toe-tip.

Senator James H Lane, OF Kansas
always used to say to those who came
begging him to assist their pet meas
ures: ''Wen, what do you propose 10
do for me in return?"
This was a brutally blunt way or
putting into words what every politi-
clan says in effect when he ignores
the prayers and petitions of women.
It is the philosophical and inevitable
consequences of our ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
lican form of government. in which
position and power are conferred by
the electors. Those who desire pro-
motion must establish themselves IN
the favor of those who can grant 1t,
and there is nothing to be gained by
catering to any other class
This may be placing government on
a low plane It is altruism with a
limit; a desire to help others in the
exact proportion that others help u.s.
1t is the golden rule read backward
Have others do unto you in the pre-
else ratio that you do unto them.
Such is the present status-not the
fault of the Individual. but the re-
suit of the systematic electorate gov
erns Tt gives and it takes away. All
outside of this body are without power
to do either.
This is the position of women Their
interest in political issues, their ability
to comprehend them. their desire to
influence them cannot be questioned
All Of these become more evident with
each national campaign.
