GARDNER FORGOEs HIS PIPE.
Secretary MoOdy's successor In Congress
Doesn't smoke II Now in the Cloak Rooms.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-Capt. Augustus
Sixth Massachusetts, district. and successor
Of Secretary Moody. has learned during his
two weeks service as statesman that long
established customs cannot be ignored
with impunity. even In such democratic
body as the House Of Representatives.
Capt. Gardner. it must be said. smokes a
pipe constantly. That's. he did until week
or 40 ago. Now he does not smoke pipe
when within the walls OF the Capitol.
During the first few days of his member
ship Capt Gardner jauntily took his briar-
wood from the side pocket of his sack coat
and pulled away in the cloak rooms without
a thought that anybody would take ex-
ceptions. But it was impressed upon
him by a colleague, acting in the interest
OF the other 1857 members of the House
that pipe-smoking was hardly a dignfied
proceeding in or about the House. In
stantly Congressman Gardner saw the point
and not another Whit Of his briarwood has
he taken in the Capitol since. Once out
side the sacred precincts. however, out
comes the pipe and Gardner is himself
again.
Except for the little matter of pipe
smoking, Mr.. Gardner is one of the most
attractive and popular men who has come
TO Congress in many years. He have been
asuccess from the start and has caught on
to a remarkable degree And this not
~ithstanding somewhat OF a handicap, to
which attention was called by the Secretary
Of the Navy when he greeted Mr. Gard
ing OF the session.

handshake, I'm glad to see you, and wish
you all sorts of success, but you must re-
member, you know. that you carry the load
Of a father -in-aw fSenator Lodgel, a pre-
decessor. and a very doubtful reputation.
Mr.. Gardner made his Washington del VI
as a guest OF the Gridiron Club, and at once
established his reputation as a ready,
witty and attractive after-dnner talker.
He was running along in a clever way,
to the great entertainment of the guests
when a club member solemnly arose and
suggested that Senator Lodge. who was
also a guest, thought that his son-n la "
was talking too long
We'll, that is the first piece of sensible
advice he ever gave me- promptly replied
Capt Gardner and he sat down with hearty
applause ringing in his ears.
"A few nights later. at the Tantalus Club
dinner, Mr.. Gardner made another hit
with a speech Of good-natured satire.

Maine for the Speakership, and the next
day in the House he delivered some re-

acid as preservative. that proved him

an unconscious humorist. Bright. ready

Mother, Who Is III at Her Denmark Home.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ?l.--Jacob A. Riis of
New York. the well-known author and
lecturer. was the Presidents guest at
breakfast yesterday morning. In con-
versation at the breakfast table Mr.. Ris
said that his mother. 40 years old. living
in Ribe, Denmark. was i'll. and that illness
at her age might prove TO be Of the most
serious nature Without waiting until the
meal was over the President wrote the
following cablegram:
WHITE House..
WAsHINGToS. Dec. 20, 1907. ]
Mrs. Riis Ribe. Denmark:
Your son Is breakfasting with us We send
our loving sympathy.
THEODORE and EDITH ROOSEVELT.
Mr. Riis in referring to the incident,
said:
Il do not believe I shall be called back
to Denmark very soon now. They have a
very great opinion Of the United States
and Of its present head over there, and wheI,
that dear old mother of mine gets that
cablegram from the President of the United
States ! expect she will get right out OF
bed cured. and live at leas; ten years
longer"
At the time when it was believed that
the United States would acquire the Danish
West Indies the President notified Mr..
Riis that he had selected him for Governor
of the islands. Mr. ltiis. however. de-
clined the appointment and recommended
another eminent American Of Danish birth a.,

THE CIRCUS AND NELsONs.

Those who know say that every act of the Great Wallace Show, which vis- it's this city on Tuesday Nov. I, is an extraordinary one, and that there is nothing common or cheap about the whole show.
 Every number on the program is a feature, but great stress is laid upon the Nelson family, as the amusement caterers of the world consider this groupe of premier acrobats to be the finest ever known. Their act is in describable. For twenty minutes they are busy every second giving con- tinuous performance of a hundred of most intricate and difficult feats ever accomplished, and it is all done with such rush that light headed person may become dizzy with watching them.
 For three years B. E. Wallace has had bona fide cash deposit of $10,000 posted to back his challenge to the world to produce any act equal to that of these justly celebrated aero bats. The Nelson family act is truly a phenomenal one, and they are with out superiors. From the broad -shoul dered, sturdy grandfather down to the five year-old tiny, curly headed grand daughter, they are all natural adopts in acrobatic work. The female members seem to be the hardest work CTS and best artists and get the most applause, with the exception of the little tot, who is brought from the dressing tent in 'scarpet bag"

MURDERER's RECORD.


 Forrest City, Oct, 2s.--According to the Marianna Courier, Charley Young, who was burned at the stake here last Monday night, is the same fiend who brutally murdered his step- mother ten or twelve years ago. Ow- ing to a difference in the division of the estate, Young walked in on the woman lying on 8 sick bed and shot her brains out with a winchester. ". M, Harrington was then sheriff of the county and chased the murderer into Mississippi, where he lost all trace of him. Young returned to the neigh borhood where he committed his last crime about two years ago and has been living there since.

son left his home early last Friday, taking with him his shotgun, and did not return home that day or night. Saturday party went to hunt him, and at 3:3O found him dead by small bush, with his head almost shot off, q mile from his home. One ball entered the neck and ranged upward, coming out above the left ear. He was a good citizen and leaves his wife and five children. It is the opinion of neighbors that the killing was acci- dental.
