Representative Burleson.

Whenever Representative Burleson, the
enthusiastic young member from Texas. is
seen lettering about the centre aisle of
the House it may safely be assumed that
he is seeking recognition for the purpose
of delivering sTeech. He occupies seat
far back on the Democratic side. Just
under the gallery. and it is not considered
an advantageous position from which TO
make an impressive speech. So whenever
the Texas member has anything to say
he always advances to the front. and while
falling stands in the middle of the centre
aisle.
He has a unique manner Of delivery.
stepping forward in a sort of crouchins
attitude and then retreating. Instead of
addressing himself to the House as
whole. or to the galleries, he almost in
variahly keeps his eyes directed tow ard
the occupant OF the chair. Altogether. Mr..
Burlesons attitude and manner when
speaking is quite different from that of
other members, and he always commands
attention.
He is never lpown 10 address the Chair
from his own Seat and when he has con-
cluded ne gives an illustration of a man
going way hack and sitting down, foI his
desk is m the very last row.

Mr.. McCleary's Forgetfulness.

Representative McCleary of Minnesota
was walking down the Avenue few days
ago when he met colleague who, in a
perfunctory and unconventional way, en-
quired where Mr. McCleary had been.
"Just returning from the White House. -
replied the Minnesota member. Il called
there this morning to make a recommen-
dation for the appointment OF new post
master at X
Whom did you recommend?" asked his
colleague.
Mr.. McCIeary thought for moment,
stroked his beard lifted his hat and ran
his fingers through his hair thought some
more, stammered a little. then reached in
his inside pocket, continued thinking and
finally said
We'll. by George, do you know that
mans name has slipped from my memory
Peculiar l cant think Of il, but do you
know | can't for the life OF me think who
the fellow is And | talked to The Presi-
dent for some time about ii. too.
4 know the name OF the outgoing post
master. Will that help you any,
Rack his brain as he would. Mr.. Nc
Cleary was unable to recall the name of
the man whose nomination ne had recon-
mended. and he could only give his friend
the assurance that the candidate was "a
good fellow" Now he is considering the
adyisability of taking memory lessons.

--WAIKING MATCHES
AND THEIR LESSONS
By JULIAN HAWTHORNE.

fessor) became famous as a walker and
jumper He set out of morning to fish
in lake thirteen miles distant; when he
got there he found he had left his fly
book at home. he walked back for it. and
again returned to the lake; he fshed all
round it, distance of thirteen miles at
least. and finished by walking home once
moTe-thus covering siXty-fve miles be-
tween dawn and dark. One of his feet
he-said felt little but after chang
ing his clothes. he Was ready for a dance
that lasted all night
But amateurs have stopped walking ap-
perently. and thus one OF the noblest and
most healthful of exercises is left to
professionals - and what professionals.
For petty sums they make premature
wrecks of themselYes. For the sake OF
the audience and the gate money they
must walk in "a hall; but could not the
audience Sit in a hall open at one end
through which the walking-trac could
pass out into the open air for a couple
OF hundred yards or so and return? That
would give the men chance for their
lives. But the real way to walk if you
walk for money is on wager; Barclay ,
wagers used to be for al 900: and if we
had real walkers nowadays with good
regulations, they could cDmand as much
backing. AS it is, the men who make
money out Of these matches are not the
walkers, but the promoters.
A better symptom of the progress Of
physical development is the advertise
ments one sees in papers and magazines
Of professors who viii teach you. by cor
respondence or otherwise how to become
strong without apSaratus, and at a small
cost OF time. These professors unques-
tionably have done immense good They
have discovered nothing really ncw-al-
most anybody would know without in
structiOn how to make the movements:
but their merit is that they induce one 10
make them, and to keep it up: one is
stimulated to follow instructions which
cost him $5 a lesson. And when the bcne-
fiji TO the interior organs and to the mus
cles has become manifest. the pupil will
continue the practice for the pleasure and
advantage OF it, II is a fact that fifteen
minutes a day will work real miracles in
the way or muscular and organic i'm
proyement; and the costly advertisements
of the numerous professors prove that
tens OF thousands must be taking their
prescriptions. Let the good work go on
The Washington times., 1902-03-19

In the annual appropriation bill pro-
viding for the expenses of the govern
ment of the District of Columbia is an
item of 5000 FOR transportation Of
paupers." The expenditure of this sum
is under the supervision of the Board of
Charities. and is one of the most per
picking things that the board has to
handle. This appropriation is a very nee
essary one but its expenditure has to
be guarded very carefully. for if free
transportation we're granted to all those
who think they are entitled to it, it
would require many times the amount Of
the appropriation to pay the bill.
All kinds of stories are told by people
who desire to secure free railroad tickets.
Some have come here to seek office under
the Government and have been disap
pointed. Others have come TO secure pat
ents, or in the interest of their pension
or other claim against the National Gov
ernment. There is at all times in Wash
ington a considerab BILE number of people
who have come here for one thing and
another connected with the National Gov
ernment and have been disappointed in
their expectations. Many of these people
apply to the Board of Charities for rail
road tickets to enable them TO return to
their homes.
People who have friends who are sick
in other cities apply for tickets, that they
may so to visit them. Still others are
out of employment and think they could
get work some other place, and apply for
transportation on this account. Some of
these people are in actual distress. and.
after proper investigation. the desired
transportation is furnished in some in
stances; but in very large number OF
such cases, although the people concerned
are undoubtedly in hard luck" their cir
cumstances are not such as would bring
them under the designation destitute
paupers," and it has to be explained to
them that the only transportation pro-
vided for by the city government is for
persons who are actually destitute and
likely to become charge upon the city
When it is explained that the ticket
must be stamped charity on its face

Senate Committee of the Whole.

To the uninitiated the fiction of the
Committee of the Whole in the Senate
is always mystery Its reason is not
apparent. and it is ondered how it. ever
came to be adopted Every bill that
passes the Senate has first to be consid-
cred bv this Committee of the Whole
amended as may be desired. and then
passed upon once more Usually this
process requires between forty five and
sixty seconds at the race horse speed at
which Senator Frye galIops over the nee
essary words.
The other day. during the voting on the
shipping bill the meaning of the Commit
tee OF the Whole mas beautifully illus
trated. Senator Pettus had introduced an
ame endment limiting the amount which
should be paid out under the bill to So
0GO ,O00 a year The Republicans enjoyed
this amendment very much under the
impression that il was a repetition of one
of Mr.. Allison's which had been agreed
to, limiting something to s. 900. 600 Even
the Chair Senator Frye, the father and
champion of the bill. absolutely refused
to allow anyone to explain the two
amendments. under the rule that there
should be no debate during the voting,
and ii was quite apparent that Mr.. Frye
did not consider it necessary to have the
matter explained. The Republicans voted
for the amendment in bunches. and 1t was
agreed TO by a large vote. Then some
one discovered that as a matter of fact
the two amendments referred 10 entirely
different matters-Senator Allison's to the
