SHE TALKED TO BABY.
But the Music Reached the Spot Mt
Which She Ahmed.

The genuinely tactful married woman
of the present day doesn't portray her
husbands shortcomings to him in di-
rect manner. She tells it all to the baby
when he is sitting in the same room. The
way this scheme works was illustrated
in happy little $2250 per month home
on Capitol hill the other evening. The
man and his wife had had a few words.
He was sitting by the front window,
reading the paper, and she was goo-goo-
ing to the baby in her lap.
"Yes," she crooned to the baby, "its
father is nasty, i'll tempered brute, isn't
he, tum-tums, and he's always snarling
and growing around the house, isn't he,
mammals itty oopsy-woopsy
Then she glanced at husband and ia.
ther out of the corner of her eye in order
to ascertain if she had succeeded in get
ting rise out of him. He only cracked
the paper neryously, however, and went
on reading.
''And he's getting to be as stingy as
miser too, isn't he, mammals oybsy-boy-
bsy?" she went on, dandlng the baby up
and down, "And he makes big row
over every penny l spend in the house,
doesn't he, mammals pet, and he knows
that I've made over the dresses l had
when l married him over and over again
until they're nothing but ragses, doesn't
he, mammals itty tipsy-wipsy?"
Again she glanced over at him to see
If she had him going, but he went right
on reading the same line for the seventy
fourth time, when she resumed:
'And he dresses himself like n nabob,
doesn't he, mammals oobsy-woobsy, and
he's never at home and he spends more
money on drink and cigars than he let's
me have for a weeks grocery bills. and
goodness gracious only knows what
keeps him out until about o'clock in the
morning three nights in the week, and he
treats baby's itty g'anmother like a
brute, and he never has civil word for
anybody, and he is beginning to drink
like fish and to neglect and hate his
family, isn't he, mammals topsy-wopsy

ther at this point, throwing down his pa

will permit me to talk to my own baby
won't you?"
Why, of course woman has a right tc
talk to her own baby, hasn't she? This

! spots, involving, as it does. much less
danger of fierce and noisy come back
than if he is addressed in direct fashion

POLITICAL DRIFT.
From Philadelphia Inquirer.

There are some things about the Demo-
cratic party which one cannot but help
admire. This week the Democratic
State Committee met and talked over
the situation, just as though nothing had
happened, and just as if the campaign
was still on. 1t is suspected that the
| committee really discussed the matter
of having the Democratic members of
| the Legislature vote with the Regular
Republicans for two Republican United
States Senators, but, if it was discussed,
the committee would not say so. There
is no doubt however, that some of the
men who are high in the councils of the
| Democratic party are in favor of such
a plan, and all that deters them from
doing so is that they cannot deliver the
votes of the men in the General Assem-
lbly. The Democrats in favor of this plan
are confronted by critical situation.
The great majority of the Democratic
party are not in favor of the Democratic
members of the Legislature voting for a
Republican. They We're not elected for
that purpose They were elected to vote
for two Democrats for Senators. III
they are relieved of this responsibility
they would have as much right to vote
for two Union as two Rebular Republi-
cans, and some of them might do it.
This would cause trouble at once, for
Addicks is looked upon by the Demo
Gratis as the destroyer of all their hopes
and any Democrat who voted for him
would be dropped from the Democratic
party at once.
AS stated some time ago, the plan OF
the Democrats will be to divide the Re
publicahs. The first movement of this
kind made will be an offer of the Demo
Gratis to assist the Regular Republicans
in organizing both Houses. The object
of this is plain. In the first place il
would place the two Republican parties
in the Legislature at loggerheads, and il
the second place it would place the Regu
lar Republicans under certain obligations
to the Democrats. Another scheme o
the Democrats is to convince the Regu
lar Republicans that the admission o
/ the men who are contesting for seats il
, the General Assembly would mean NOR
votes for Addicks, and they will try Il
get the Regular Republicans to unit
with them in keeping these Union Re
: lpublicans out of the Legislature. Thi
: would further add to the hard feeling
between the Republicans, and the Demo
: Gratis would be in good shape Whining

THE FULL DINNER PAIL"

"The full dinner pail slogan which
the Republicans worked during the
late campaign was hit upon by mere
accident" said a New York newspaper
man who was in the city recently.
"The idea suggested itself one day to
Grant Hamilton, who is the present art
editor of Judge, but when he mention
ed 1t to his associates in the Office they
received it coldly. You see, Hamilton
comes from @ small town in Ohio
where dinner pals are as plentiful as
blackberries, but in New York no
workman would think of Juggling
around such a machine, and they are
almost absolutely unknown. None of
the fellows in The Judge office had
ever seen one. What do they look
like, anyhow asked member of the
staff. I'll draw you a diagram re-
piled Hamilton, but when he attempted
to do so he found that he had forgotten
how the confounded thing looked. He
couldn't remember whether the cup at
tachment was on the top or the bottom.
Just then Zimmerman, the carica-
turist, came in. Hello, Zimv eX-
claimed Hamilton. Did you ever see
dinner pail-an old fashioned tin din
ner pail, with knife sticking on the
outsider Did II replied Zim, who
boasts of having painted signs in his
early days. why, 1 used to carry one
of 'em myselfv However, when he at
tempted to draw picture of the con-
trivance he fell down almost as hard as
his chief. I'll go out and find one of
the real things he said, and accord
ingly he and Flohri and Tom Higgins
Of The Judge art department organized
themselves into an exploring expedi-
tion and started out. After much
prowling they discovered bona fide
pail at a household supply store and
bore it back in triumph. Hamilton
used it as a model for full dinner
pail which he introduced into his next
cartoon, and the thing made such hi
that it was soon afterward adopted as
campaign emblem by the Republican
national committee" - New Orleans
'Cimes-D Democrat.

JUST so. THEY ExPEorRD.

The question may be properly asked,
EWhat do the people of the State expect
fthe Republican party to do? This is cas-
Billy answered. In the first place, the Re-
Epublicans of The State, with a few excep-
Hions, expect the members of the Legis-
Gature to elect two Republican United
Estates Senators. 1t expects them to be
ected with Republican votes, and not
through any collusion or combination
rith the Democratic party. There are
aough Republicans to do this and the
eople expect them to get together and
lit.
he Wilmington correspondent of the
jiladelphia Inquirer rightly sums up
Ee situation in the above paragraph.
He puts it broadly. The decent people
kf the State without regard to politics
Expect the Republicans in the State AS
kembIy to elect two Republican United
Mates Senators. They realize that that
what the people commissioned them to
10 at the recent election. They also ex-
Beet these two Senators to be nominated

ly another way of saying what is
fually true, that the people of Delaware
Expect the Republicans Of the Assembly
elect Mr.. ]. Edward Addicks one of
the United States Senators.
1t is not the people generally who are
ppposing the election of -nr. Addicks. If
the people could vote on that question
they would elect him by the handsomest
majority that any candidate ever got at
the polls in this State. 1t is the self
constituted political leaders and bosses
pf the State who having failed to defeat
him at the polls, are now ready to enter
into an unholy political alliance to de-
feat him. We overheard one of these
gentry, Democrat, venting his spleen
tine other day. His language was the
only proof needed against him, but his
. record happened to be of the most un
savory kinda party hack and doer OF
lirty work for bosses as corrupt a:
himself was amusing himself with th'
idea that he was talking politics. 1t was
bimply blackguard abusing a gentle
Bnan.
