AN EXTRA SESSION
Becomes Necessary For Phil.
jppIne Legislation

Washington, Jan. 26--Tbe brief
recommendation in the message of the
PRESIDENT sent to the Senate urging
Immediate legislation in the interest
OF the Philippines, caused general sur.
prise among Senators and occasioned
speculation upon the probability of an
extra session of Congress Immediately
after March 4. Senators generally
say they have had no inlimation from
the White House that special session
of the entire Congress NAV be desi.
rable but they unite as one man in
say ing that no Philippine legislation
IS possible during the remaining five
weeks OF the present session 1t is
therefore most likely that special
session will be called.

An exchange warns housekeepers

An exchange warns housekeepers
against the tramp sewing machine
repairer, thus: "The man who
comes around cleaning sewing
machines is to be watched. His
game is an old one, but he is still
playing it where he can. He takes
the job of cleaning the machine.
While the lady of the house is not
looking, he slips out some of the
delicate machinery, produces a
broken piece similar to it, and
announces that it will have to be
fixed before the machine can be
used. By rare good luck he has
duplicate part, and can fix it for
three dollars and eighty cents.
Then he puts back the piece he
slipped out, collects his money and
departs to play the same game on
someone else. If your machine
needs cleaning you had better take
the head from the stand and take
it to some reliable agent or most
any good mechanic. They can clean
it in good shape, and if repairs are
needed they can supply them at
reasonable rates. But do not let
the tramp touch the machine.

TO THE RESCUE.

to her pleading promised to ieave the
band and the border altogether.
He kept his word, and, shortly after
ward, believing that it would not be
best to begin married life in poverty,
started west in the hope of soon win
ming competence. For awhile he did
well, fighting and trading on the plains,
and was just making ready to return
when month old letter came telling
of the death of his fiancee.
From that time on for several years
he drifted everywhere through the
west. Now he was a cowboy in Texas,
now prospector in the mountains
of California, sheep herder in
Utah, or a freighter on the trails
west from Ogden. Finally, about 12
years ago. he returned to ST. Joseph and
obtained place on the city police
force During all the time he was here,
the past 12 years, he was accounted
one of the cheeriest natured men in
the town, and, though he spoke at rare
intervals Of the girl who died long ago,
even those who knew of his great at
tachment for her did not believe that
the disappointment troubled him very
deeply. But he never married.
In the rawlings of his last illness, how
ever, the burden of his unsettled
thoughts was of her-she was the one
woman of his whole life.
