| speech. The senator at former state
 conventions has sounded keynotes that
 were taken up by Republican glee
 clubs.

 "Keep on letting well enough alone" in the campaign rallies this year. The convention was distinguished for harmony in the chorus for Hanna in all that was done. One of the last reconciliations was that of Senator Hanna and former Governor Asa s.

 and Hanna never spoke as they passed each others quarters. They had not spoken since the memorable contest for the senatorship in 1897. Before go- ing to the convention they met in the most cordial manner. The delegates who "got them together" gave glowing reports around the convention hall of the way they were calling each other Mark and Asa" again.
 The ticket nominated is as follows: Secretary of state, Lewis c. Laylin of Norwalk; judge of supreme court, Will liam B. Crew of McConnellsville; food and dairy commissioner, Horace An
 keney of Xenia; member of the board of public works William Kirtley, Jr.,

A MINERs COMPTJNrEN,r

Bret Harte once told me of the high est compliment ever paid him. Ee was making trip by boat between San Francisco and Portland, Ore He came late and found all state rooms taken. He saw the captain and urged him to give him q berth The captain replied, You are too late sir. All are taken.''
 Harte had just published ..The Luck of the Roaring Camp and he thought his name might help him so he present ed his card to the captain, who looked at it and said, T am very. sorry, MT Bret Harte, but I have given up my own berth and nothing is left" At this point q grim-looking miner, who stood near by, with two revolvers in his belt. stepped up to the captain, and taking the card out of his hand without asking permission, turned to Harte and said..'B you Bret Harte?' T am," said Harte. Well" said the miner, s'be you the Bret Harfe who wrote The Luck of the Roaring Campy" Harte replied that he was. Then the miner put forth hand as big as the bounty of Providence, and Harte laid his delicate hand i'll the palm of it and, as the miner began to close in on it, and Harte's bones began | to crack, the miner said: You want barth. de ye? Well, I've got barth ye can have, and if yo want two barths l I'll shoot that son of a sea cook in the barth over mine, and plunge him over board.
 What the miner wanted to say was 'sGod bless you, Bret Harte. you can have what l have, and if that isn't enough, I'll make other passengers al vide with you. It was tlte miner language. He knew no othass Il lsi Harte claimed that 1t was the best ] compliment ever paid Alln.

THE COFFEE POT.

When new coffee pot is to be pur- chased the array of different makes In ali the known, well wearing materials. is appalling to the buyer. Yet with all the French drip and instantaneous coffee pots one of the most practical cooking school teachers advises the selection of a common ten cent coffee pot. After new coffee pot has come into the house the morning beverage is delicious and the praises for that particular coffee pot are sung high, no matter what the cost was But grad ually and almost before the family re- alizes it the coffee has taken on that same twange that the coffee of old had. Serious charges are laid at the door of the coffee dealer. but it is found out that the coffee is the same as when the coffee pot was new and the coffee has been kept in an air tight jar so none of the strength has been lost. It must be the cooks fault then, but she declares that the beverage is made the same as usual. After all it is her fault although even she may not real ize it. Oe course the coffee pot is washed every time it is used. and put ins the close cupboard. with the lid of the pot closed. The same ways have been followed ever since the household was established. but do not let them be followed forever. Give this same old coffee pot q spring house cleaning, if it isn't beyond redemption; if it is. get new one for you can afford it. Put a small teaspoonful of soda in the pot and fill it with cold water and place the coffee pot on the back. part of the stove for the water to slowly heat and simmer. Wash out the coffee pot and see the brown coating come off which has been ruining your coffee. Scour the pot on the inside and rinse several times with boiling water. Dry with a clean towel free from lint and place in the sun to air The pot is now just as sweet and pure as the utensils used for milk. and the morn ing coffee will once more be cheering beverage. Keep the inside of the pot shining as bright as the lighthouse re- Hector A shining outside pleases the eye. but the polished inside satisfies the taste.

Senate Agrees to Dispose or Fn1Atp~
 pine BiI1 Tuesday Next.
 WASHINGTON, May 29--An agree ment was reached in the senate yester- day by which a final vote on the pend ing Philippine government bill and all amendments will be taken on Tuesday at 1 p. m. Pending the vote the senate will meet at Il o'clock each day except Friday, when the senate will not sit, it being Memorial day. On Monday and Tuesday the debate will be under the fifteen minute rule
 MT. Burrows (Mich.) explained the bill at length and urged its enactment, maintaining that 1t would advance the interests and promote the prosperity of the islands. In his judgment it would be mistake to accord to the Fflipinos self government and inde- pendence now. Such proceeding could result, he said, only in disaster to the inhabitants and possible anarchy in the islands.
 The house spent the day debating the bill to increase the subsidiary coinage by coining the silver bullion in the treasury and to recoin standard silver dollars as the public necessities may require. The limit of subsidiary coin age is now S10O,O0O,OOO The bill in- creases this to an indefinite amount, in the discretion of the secretary of the treasury. The bill aroused the oppo- sition of the Democrats, who claimed it was only a step in the direction of the complete striking down of the sil- yer dollar. The debate drifted into a general discussion of the silver ques- ton. Very little interest was shown, and Mir Cochran twice made the point that no quorum was present.

SOLVED THE TRAMP PROBLEM

q think have solved the trmap prob- lem in a perfectly satisfactory way, said the New Jersey farmer, as the subject was under discussion. Tt did no good whatever to put up signs warn ing them off or to keep bulldog at the gate. 1 tried all that, and last spring 1 made change. I put signs for three miles around reading, 'Tramps Please Call at the Baker Farm, and All Tramps Welcomed at Bakers and the result is that not over three of them have called. The other day, to show you how it works, a tramp came along and looked things over and said to me:
 ss.Any constables hidden ill the barn?'
 Mot one' I replied.
 How many bulldogs you gotg
 None at al1.'
 "'Got lot of spring guns or bear traps set about the placer
 Nothing of the kind.'
 Has feller got to do days work to get a meal?'
 No work at all. You come right in and l will give you square meal for nothing. and if you want to stay all night I'll give you the best bed in the house.
 "He looked at me in a puzzled way for about q minute" continued the farmer. .and then indulged in a wink and said:
 You can't play that little game on me. old man. This is my sixteenth year on the road'
 But what gamer I asked
