allowed him remained undiminished.
lie was able to move and even to sit
up in bed without assistance. When
rational from time to time he assured
his wife that if he recovered he would
owe it chiefly to her unwavering
cheerfulness and encouragement And
he added, simply:
'sI Will Get Well If Can.
There is much to be done at Washing
ton, and I must do my share"
When delirious he believed himself
upon the floor of the senate. In a
voice, whose hollow loudness echoes
in silent sick room. he called upon
the vice president for recognition, and
begins with vigorous parliamentary
phrase, to declare fragments of the
nation's foreign policy. Many a SEN
tence is notably original and luminous.
But an announcem as to the Phil
ippines will be followed by a phrase Of
comment upon the Monroe doctrine, or
a suggestion of impending war with
Spain. His official, his patriotic duties
are with him always.
The unvarying tenor of recent bulle-
tine, the absence of any symptoms in
dicating that the senator's ,na!ady has
been checked, are circumstances not
to be ignored. The most devoted of
the senator's friends are therefore
more than apprehensive.

at Midway and stated that he knew
nothing of the trouble until he had
read of it in the papers. The parting

Eight thousand manuscripts were re-
ceived by The Ladies' Home Journal
during the year just closed, but out OF
the entire number only eighty were
found worthy of publication. The
Manuscript Bureau of The Ladies'
Home Journal is operated at a large
expense, but the hope of discovering
new writers or some aspirants with I'M
developed talent warrants the outlay.
It can be seen that the articles secured
by such a careful winnowing process
brings the cost of each up to and above
the remuneration paid our best writer's.
These facts bring refutation to the
oft-repeated but none the less CHROME
Gus assertion that only well-known
writer's of established literary reputa-
ton are able to find place for their
work in the magazines. Exactly the
contrary is true. The Ladies' Home
Journal, through the manuscripts con-
sidered, has discovered three or four
new writer's of excellent merit and
great promise and this find" its edi-
tor regards as fully warranting the
large outlay of maintaining an expen-
sive bureau for reading all the manu-
scripts submitted
