HERE'S 4 QUEER THING.
The "Aornin8 HOuxss In the senate
Begins at Noon and LAoAp
About Two Ho1RS

The morning hour" il one of the
queer things of the United States
senate. In the first place the morn
ing hour" is two hours long, though
it may be completed in ten or Is
minutes. In the second place, says
the Washington Star, it never oc-
ours in the morning, but begins at
~ o'clock noon, except ON the rare
occasions when the senate meets at
10 or II o'clock. Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, is responsible for the
elongation of the morning hour 10 as
to make it cover 12O minutes. Prior
to IA years ago the "morning hour"
while existing in the afternoon, was
but an hour in length, but a resolu-
ton submitted by Mr.. Hoar was
adopted August 10, 1888, and that
provided that the morning hour"
should be two hours in length or that
it should end at two o'clock. This
resolution provided "that after to-
day, unless otherwise ordered, the
morning hour shall terminate at the
expiration Of two hours after the
meeting of the senate" The morning
hour is devoted to the presentation
Of petitions, the introduction of bills,
reports of committees, etc., and is
the time when all sorts of little mat
ters of that kind are attended to. At
two o'clock the presiding ohacer lays
before the senate the bill on the cal
endar, which is set aside a. having
precedence over other measures, and
that is generally the time for long
speeches of all kinds unless unani-
nous consent is secured to consider
pension bills for specified time OK
unobjected bills on the calendar.

A successful newspaper correspondent
succeeded in eluding the censor in
South Africa and kept his paper, Lon
don daily, constantly informed concern
ing the peace negotiations by securing
the service Of q mining engineer and
referring to the negotiation as the "Pax-
fontain Mine''. All statements were
made in commercial verbiage and ap-
peared to refer to the sale of the alleged
mine.
It is stated that several OF Msndelsoh MS
"Songs Without Words" were composed
by his sister who attributed their author

the family, and an effort to count them
only ended in bewilderment. One, a
girl probably eight years Of age, was
busy forming circular slabs of dough
by the simple expedient OF slapping
them between her hands, which, by
this time, were clean, and then cooking
them in q grease-filled skillet on the
stove.
It was a. glorious stove, humble
looking affair, made of sheet iron and
with real fire In it-no driveling little
gas blaze, but general conhgration of
wood that threw out heat in joyous
wealth and made the tent as warm az
any home in the city and far warmer
than the most of them. And yet there
are persons in the city, and many of
them, who have thankfully huddled
about their wretchedly cold stoves,
with the gas playing tag between the
coal and the mixer, and have thought
of those same Gypsies with compas'
sion-thought how they must be sui
fering from the cold, and not under
standing why they did not evade these
cold months by treking to the south.
"Cold?" echoed Stanley, adroitly
balancing q coal on the apex of the
heritage in his pipe. "Well, I CUES. not.
Sit down and get warm. Not much
danger Of getting, cold as long az the
wood lasts, and the whole outside il
our woodpile," and he gave q compre'
hensive wave of his hand toward the
woods that surround the camp.
1--WE tried going south several years
ago, but the women folks got sick, and
we've staid in the north for The last
three winters. No trouble about keep
ing the tent warm, and even if there
was, we're pretty we'll hardened, 80 we
wouldn't feel it much. Look at Jim
there" Jim, IN urchin, scarcely old
enough to attract. the notice of the
truant officers, bashfully followed his
head into the tent. and was duly in
spected. Without gloves, oversoat or
lear bobs," with thin shirt open at
the throat, one stocking halfway
down and shoes unlaced-Janaes was 4
spectacle to give an Eskimo sh1vers,
but he seemed not in the least uncom-
Portable himself. And the rest of the
children seemed equally lightly clad
ell with their waists or shirts open at
the throat and some even barefooted.
Nov we spend our winters in the
NORTH" continued Stanley, "either in
Ohio, Indiana or Illinois. Indiana is
the best state, though" and quick
smile from his wife corroborated the
statement, 'partly on account of the
better roads in the state and partly
for business reasons," with a porten-
tous look, '''cause people in the state
seem to like to have their fortunes
told, and that's where we make most
of our money, especially in the winter
-nothin' doing in horse trading then.
How many children have II"
The question seemed to be some
thing of a poser, for he turned to his
wife with a puzzled look, and, after
some conversation in Hungarian, an
swered: '"Twelve and two married
sons. There are five families, each one
with tent, and 26 people altogether
in this crowd. The other people down
there got here about a month ago, two
or three days before we did. There are
three families-one for each tent-and
IS people. All the girls in the camp are
downtown now telling fortunes, and
most OF the men are out somewhere.

eFS-An Interview,

A bare-legged tot, scarcely more
than three or four years of age, with a
~hopelessly tangled mop of hair and big,
blue eyes, toddled out of tent in
Malott park one day in December, made
it's uncertain way toward Fall creek,
and standing on the snow-covered bank
gravely contemplated the cold water.
Then, with a judicial air, it tottered
back to the tent and disappeared
through the flap, says the Indianapolis
News.
There were others in the tent
most enough to populate . small town
just an ordinary GypsJ family. In
one corner the father was sprawled
with comfortable abandon on pile of
disreputable bedding, pulling at pipe
that had probably been handed down
through many generations, and he
was apparently without care in the
world. He is an old patron of the camp
ing grounds about the city, Gus Stanley
by name, and as genial and hospitable
a man as one would care to meet. The
mother, plethoric creature, but with
traces still of certain type of Gypsy
beauty, was busily engaged in an ap-
parently interminable effort to wash
the dye out of bit of red cloth.
The odd corners of the establish
ment were filed in by Heterogeneous
collection of camp odds and ends and
young Gypsies. No matter where the
eye turned it rested on a member OF
the family, and On effort to count them
only ended in bewilderment. One, a

These Rushing Days. 'E

These Rushing Days. 'E
It is strange, indeed, to look back up
on the manners and customs Of the rae
ing world in the year Of the first Derby
and contrast them with the new meth
DDS. In 17S0 there was the journey
down to the little Surrey town, and a
coachman thought himself lucky If he
could force his way from Westminster
to EPSON in twelve or fourteen hours
without dislodging a wheel en- route.
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all, for those We're
days when tradesmen thought, Ike
John Gilpin. an outing once in two
years as much as they could afford.
In those days, too, visit to EPSON
meant making week of it. Lodgings
had to be taken in the town by those
who were not fortunate enough to be
invited to share the hospitality of some
local magnate. RacISs began about II
q. M, and after witnessing one or two
heats the, company would retire to the
town to dine, returning later to witness
the conclusion of the sport.
Nowadays the man Of fashion for the
most part elects to travel to and fro
by rail. He gets his Derby, as 1t were
while he waits. 1t is quite possible for
him to partake Of an early luncheon in
Pan Mall, witness the great race with
out acquiring a wrinkle in his collar or
disturbing the nap of his box hat and
land back at his club in time for 5
o'clock tea and the special editions Of

MISTOOK HIS MAN.
A Cautious American Tourist and His
.r..ss Travelling COMPANION.

A Cautious American Tourist and His
Travelling Companion.
A cautious American travelling from
Paris TO Nice some years ago found, n
stranger in the compartment in which
he had secured q berth.
"Are you Mr.. -" said the stran-
ger. a II. ..
The American In surprise answered
affirmatively.' = t'
"Ha" said the stranger. 81 inquired
at the booking office who was to be
my travelling companion"
The American realized that this was
no ordinary man and soon found him
self almost hypnotized by the stran
gers commanding eye.
When the man proposed cards. the
American suspected that he was pro
fessional gambler. He made many OK.
cuses, finally saying that lie cared fol-
none of the games which his compan-
ion suggested.
"All right" was the Disseminating
reply; "we'll play anything you like"
When the American mentioned an
obscure French game, which he hoped
the other would not know, and found
his suggestion taken up eagerly, ht
was more than ever suspicious.
But" asked the American. do you
know how to play it"
NO" was the reply, 'but you can
teach me-"
The American now had, little doubt
that the man was a card expert, look
ing for victim, but, as no suggestion
of high stakes was-made, he concluded
to venture and after some hours play
ing had seen nothing on the part Of his
fellow passenger that looked like
cheating.
But when next morning his compan-
ion suggested that they play again to
while away the time the American
grew suspicious again and pleaded q
headache. -
When they entered the station n
Nice, the man handed the American
his card. 1t bore the name Of Lord
Russell Of Killowen, lord chief justice
of England.-Youth's Companion.
