THREE THINGS.

Remember. three things come not back:
The arrow sent upon its track
1t will not swerve, it will not stay
Its speed; it flies to wound or Stay;
The spoken word so Soon forgot
BY thee, but it has persisted not;
In other hearts Ills living still.
and doing work for good or i'll;
And the lost opportunity
That cometh back no more TO thee.
In vain thou wcep'st. in vain dost yearn,
Those three viii nevermore return.

The Laugh on Mr.. Bell.

Representative Bell recently had his
wires badly mixed with some of his Colo
RADIO constituents, and now they are hav-
ing a good laugh at his expense. When
he goes out TO Denver again he expects to
provide them with something more sub
stantial than a laugh, in order that he
may square himself.
Last week, while the oleomargarine bill
was under consideration in the House =
messenger boy rushed up to the member
from Montrose and handed him tele
gram, which Mr.. Bel! mechanically tore
open and read as follows:
Hon. John c. Bell House of Representatives,
Washington, d. c.:
The live stock interests Of the entire county
expect You, representative OF ike stock
State, TO strcnuously oppose the passage of the
oicOmargariuc bill as mimical to our live stock
interests. JOHN W SPRINGER,
President National Live stock Association.
Mr.. Bell folded up the sheet of yellow
paper, tucked il away in his pocket, and
continued to listen to the discussion o,
the measure BY and by he thought tc
reply. and this is the happy assurance
and the encouraging response which hq
wired to the president OF the Live Stock
Association:
~SIon. John ". Springer, President Live stock
Association Denver, col:
have received your telegram in due time.
do not think there Is bit Of trouble about the
bill YOU mention. 1t seems to have a good ma
ioriiy aud when the time comes Tor a vote il
viii be carried all right.
JOHN & BELL
This was encouraging news to a man
who wanted the bill defeated, and Mr.
Bell is now wondering how it was that he
got the Live Stock Association confused
with a dairy association and made such
a horrible mistake.

4 WatchfuI senator.

Senator Cockrell is the closest attend
ant upon the sessions of the Senate among
the minority Senators, AMI conducts
nearly all his business from his seat in
that body. He is ever watchful and tire
less. and one would never suspect that
while he is turning the pages and closely
scanning the contents of some public doe
ument he has one eye on the proceedings
Of the Senate. Senator Cockrell has the
privilege Of addressing the Chair without
rising. as his lap is generally full of doe
uments. and it is not until after he has
made several remarks that he is able to
deposit the burden from his lap and rise
to a standing posture.
Mr.. President. let that bin be report
ed" is often heard from Senator Cock
rell, and when the bill is again read the
Senator from Missouri usually has some
thing to say about IL. Nothing seems to
escape him.
