"a. maa a Halter"

Probably very few persons who fire.
Quently use the expression "As mad as
a halter" have any idea as to what IL
means or why halter is necessarily
any more subject TO fits of anger than
a plumber, a blacksmith or a carpen-
ter. The expression is said TO have
come into use half century ago, when
the manufacture of hats was done
wholly by hand. The most striking
thing about the process was that OF the
beating up Of the felt. The halter first
dipped the mass OF wool and hair fire.
quently into hot water; then, SELLING a
stick I'm each hand, he belabored the
mass most vigorously, stopping now
and then to get his breath, until the
material was matted together In a
rough sort Of felt. The lively beating
administered to the felt, as II the work
man were actually incensed, gave rise
to the familiar simlle.

"tnquests are sometimes very funny
affairs" remarked a western man. II
remember one In the early days Of my
county In Kansas. A man was found
dead by the side OF small stream out
on the prairie. No mark was found
on his well dressed body. His gun
was fully loaded In his hip pocket. and
$20 was found In his pocketbook. or
course the coroner took charge OF the
money. A jury was lmpaneled and
after finishing Its deliberations found
that the man clearly died OF heart fail
ure.
The coroner promptly paid from the
dead mans pile the $t2 due for ex-
penses and discharged the jury. The
S13 remaining bothered him. He ar
gued that to turn that S13 over to the
county, to be held In trust for the
mans possible relatives, would be the
same as throwing II away. The man
was a stranger in those parts. Possi-
bly, he had no friends.
The coroner was equal to the occN-
sion, however. He declared himself
dissatisfied with the verdict and call
ed the jury together again. They sat
on the body second time and found
exactly the same verdict, but the coro.
ner's mind was at ease. The $2S was
exhausted. ed."-Washlngton Star.

he had lost all power Of self criticism

Newspaper Correspondents to Have Access
to the state House.
Dover, Feb. 2.--Speaker MoCom-
mons, yesterday, informed the house
that the governor had ordered the
House chamber closed at 10 o'clock at
night to all excpet members and officers
of the body. No explanation of the
order was made. For some reason not
stated, the Senate was not told that the
governor had issued similar order re-
speeding the Senate chamber.
Representative Holcomb said the
governor had no more authority to issue
the order than the Chancellor or any
other State officer had, and, in support
of his declaration, read law passed
two years ago, which gives to the Gen
eral assembly the control of the Senate
and House chambers and the rooms
in the third story OF the State House.
Representative Robertson requested
that the law be read q second time and
after the request had been complied
with, he said ne saw the point of Rep
resentative Holcomb's contention.
Representative Baynard upheld the
governors action.
1t is now understood that the news
paper correspondents Will have access
to the Capitol at all times.
