In summer money Is fairly plentiful
with the Maoris, and the natives buy
clothes and wear flannel and sub
stantial materials. In winter, when
money is scarce, they are often reduced
to straits, and their clothing is of the
most flimsy nature. This causes great
mortality. The little children especial
ly suffer through the ignorance of their
mothers, and Mr.. Bennett gave many
sad instances where a knowledge OF
diet and nursing would have saved the
lives OF the babies. In one district

In connection with the movement for

excellency the governor and Lady Ran

scheme. recently had a most interest

At one end of the room was group

grizzled heads forming a picturesque
dado round the cleaning amber-col-
ored walls. To some of the chiefs
present their surroundings must have
been strange, though they never lost
their self-possessicn or dignity. and
their eyes never wandered down the

of them carried meres or clubs. The
governor in short opening speech i'm

educating the Maori girls, the future

the more prominent items of the pro-

chiefs. Then Rev. +. Bennett Zone of

which hitherto has not been published.

bright Sunday morning, and MIR. Wan

that he would confer substantial
money prize upon the pupil who gave
the best answer to the following ques-
ton; Whom do you love above all
others?"
Upon the announcement number of
little hands went up. Mr.. Wanamaker
selected one of the children. and said,
We'll, whom do you love best?"
II was little girl. who replied. Il
love my brother best"
Mr.. Wanamaker was much pleased.
He said that the love of sister for
her brother was one of the sweetest
affections. because, as long as broth
ers and sisters loved one another there
could not be discord in families. Then
he asked the little girls name.
"Bessy Crawford" she replied
Then he proposed the question to a
boy.
Il love my parents best the lad re-
piled.
Mr.. Wanamaker was once more
highly pleased. and spoke at length
upon the fourth commandment, and
the lesson derived therefrom.

which vastly increased the value OF the
ranch. Mrs. Scott became intensely in
terested in theosophy and was a devot-
ed follower of Annie Besant. She de-
sired TO devote her entire time to the
new cult and to be freed from all other
care and responsibility. Therefore she
made satisfactory business arrange

pied ny Senator Hanna.
Corned beef hash and buckwheat cakes
are the chief dishes offered. and CON
noiisseurs say that those are the finest
dishes OF the sort they have ever
tasted.
Mr.. Hanna numbers among his Sun
Gay morning guests fellow senators,
diplomats, cabinet officers and the up
per ten of the nations society. AS he
is remarkably free with his invitations
the table is always filled at his sun
day morning breakfasts. Several Of
his guests, Uncle Joe" Cannon of Illl-
nois among them, were so fascinated
by Mr.. Hanna's hash that they did not
wait for an invitation the second time
they felt hungry for that sort of food
but made their way 10 the Hanna home
and the first intimation the senator
had of their coming was when the
butler announced their coming. Mr..
Hanna, however, says he hopes there
always will be enough hash for all.
One of the most amusing men in the
House of Representatives is Peter J..
Otey. who represents the Sixth Vir-
ginia district. Mr. Otey is a Scared
veteran Of the civil war, having served
in the Confederate army from the out
break of hostilities until peace was de-
clared. He took part in the Western
campaign which ended at Donelson and
Shiloh, was senior field officer under
Early at Cedar Creek, and received q
Af
Market. It is this military experience
and the hardships he suffered in the
field that make Mr.. Otey so warm a
champion of the soldiers, an advocate
of all measures that conduce to their
comfort and benefit. The same quail
ties that won his fame as a stump
speaker make him a successful orator
in the House. and his speeches on no
matter what subject are interesting
and apt to be humorous. Although a
warm partisan, he is never acrimoni-
GUS, and he Is given to telling funny
stories in an inimitable way. Mr.. Otey
is a member OF the committees on
claims, the District of Columbia, Immi-
grafton and Naturalization, and is q
favorite ON both sides of the chamber
The wife of Senator Gamble of South
Dakota is a native of Minnesota. She

school during the winter. While Mr.
Gamble was member of the House o.
Representatives last year Mrs. Gamble
