LEGISLATORS WOES.
Members Of Pennsylvania House
Must Not Wear Shirt Waists.
The Speaker Declares That the Com
Portable Hot Weather Garments
Must Not lie Worn In the
Legislative Halls.

The shirt waist is barred in the house
OF representatives Of the Pennsyr
vania general assembly. Speaker WIKI
ham 4. Marshall holds that il is be-
meath the dignity Of the members TO
work in their shirt sleeves, even if the
weather be oppressively hot, and the
shirts Of the latest style and approved
cleanhness
Only one member, Mr.. Emory, Of
Venango, has thus far attempted TO
transgress the rule. He wore baggy
silk shirt waist affair, which looked
wei, and he escaped the eye Of the
speaker for some time, but Mr.. Mar
shalps attention was directed TO Mr.
Emery by one of the clerks, and the
mandate OF the chair was Numbered
forth:
"Gentlemen sitting in this house
with their coats off will please put
them on"
1t is difficult 10 say what might have
happened If Insurgent Emery had led
revolt or moved for the suspension
Of the rules. He obeytd the speaker,
but just 10 show that he didn't care
who knew that ne was the transgres-
sor, he rose slowly in his seat, stepped
ont into the aisle. and put on his coat
in leisurely way. Then he famed
himself with his house calendar.
The members of the house sneak
away from the afternoon sessions
whenever II Is possible. Most Of them
hunt cool spots, but many go 10 the
baseball games and other places where
an enthusiast forgets about the
weather. rain or shine. On Thursday,
when Speaker Marshall wanted a few
sergeanis-at-arms TO close the doors
against members who were trying 10
play hockey he could not find any
sergeants-at-arms, and on Friday. be-
fore going away, there was general
roundup Of well-paid house employees.
and they were informed from the
highest authority that they must at.
tend TO business.

DECENT BURIAL FOR ANIMALS.
Editor of Northwestern Christian Adj
vocate Urges Consideration Mt
Least for Dead Pets.

Decent burial for pet animals when
they die is urged by ID. ID. Thompson,
editor of the Northwestern Christian
Advocate. He says: 'As TO the pro-
priety Of burying animals in GENE
teries with human beings there is
room for doubt, The time was when
human beings we're treated az dogs
and other animals are treated TO this
day. Such treatment was due TO the
fact that slaves or common people
were regarded as not possessing
souls, were not entitled 10 burial in
consecrated ground. That animal
pets should be so treated when they
die is a shock 90 all who had for
them an affection which contributes
TO the pleasure and happiness of life.
The impression upon the minds of
egldreQ would be more elevating. as
well as less narrowing, II their pets
were buried in a manner which
showed for them consideration due
70 any object which bas life, Regard
for the feelings and character OF
children, IL there were no other mo-
tive, should cause greater respect to
be shown dead animals and birds,
and secure foT them q decent burial"
