How to live on $1,000 year, as a
member of congress, was a problem
which kept me awake many a night, -
says Senator Dolliver, of Iowa. Three
years ago L moved into a small fiat
away out in the northwest part of the
city, and clear outside of the social
swirl, and since that move was made |
have always had little money in my
pocket for car fare at least. Previous
TO that time it was hard times all the
time. In my home town, or in any
other town in Iowa, S., 600 year would

of living on par with the neighbors is
so much less"

about four blocks away from the
capitol. You see, my wife did not want
me to come back to the senate; but l
told her l must go either to the senate
or the poor house, and so she let me
come to the senate. Now, with SIS, 900 q
year, and living in small fiat, we can
get along and probably,get little bit
ahead. You must know that when a
senator takes fat, that fact is recog-
nized by all society as notification that
the senator is too poor to give enter
tainments and squander fortunes in
flowers and wines. l am one of the
poor men in the senate, and shall live

NEST when he doesn't try to be. A
paper printed at Newcastle, in CIV
ing an account of an inquest, de-
clared that "Richard Wilkinson, one

In speaking of the naval maneuyers

HARD TIMES IN GERMANY.
One-Third Less Than Usual Ii Being
spent for Gifts in the kaiser's
DOminiOns.

The most conservative estimat ties
place Germany's Christmas spendings
at one-third less than year ago, as
result of the economic crisis. This de-
crease, however, is said to be accom-
panied only by reduction in value, in
dications showing that there will be no
diminution in volume. Merchants de-
clare that this is conclusive evidence
that the hard times have affected both
the masses and the classes, all of
whom, while intent on perpetuating
the traditional splendor of the German
holiday season, have found it neces-
sary to indulge themselves on consid-
erably cheaper basis. August Tietz,
proprietor of Berlin's biggest depart
ment store, said to the Chicago Record
Herald correspondent:
Zone striking effect of the depres-
sion has been the driving into the de-
partment stores of class that has
hitherto scorned to deal outside high
priced speciality establishments. The
increase of sales from this source COM
pensates for the shrunken purchases
of regular patrons. Speciality stores,
however, enjoy no such means of re-
coyery. Costly goods remain uncalled
for. A demand exists only for bar
gains. whether in diamonds, bric-a-
brac or Clothes"
The curbs are lined with hawkers
and vendors, ranging from old men to
mere babies. The merchants have
drawn their recruits for holiday time
largely from families whose regular
means of breadwinning in shop and
factory have vanished.

Something About Their Linguistic
Aptitude and Musical De-
yelOpment.

The Alaskan Eskimos are highly
intelligent, Industrious, moral and
honest according to their standards
in such matters, which differ some
what from our own. They are strictly
truthful, of kindly, cheerful DISPOSE
ton, and exceedingly gentle, patient
and tactful in their manners. In Illus
tration of their intelligence, it was in
teresting to note that while their lam
guage embraced but fed hundred
words as against our overwhelming
vocabulary, they and not we made all
the advance, evincing the keenest in
terest in the acquisition of the white
mans tongue. In voicing their pro-
ficiency in this direction it was not I'M
common for some of the more sensi
tive among us to be shocked upon be.
ing saluted by some precocious maid
en- with string of oafhs, strangely in.
toned, culled for our edification from
the explosive speech in general use
among the representatives. of higher
moral Development. The natives soon
learned such tunes and songs as were
whistled or sung in their hearing.
These they reproduced with consider
able accuracy, words and all. The
words were, however, generally
sounds Theoretically similar to those
heard, and were sometimes, ia fact,
quite amusing This sudden musical
development seemed remarkable, con-
sidering that their natural attempts
include only monotonous dronings,
accompanied sometimes by an uit-
measured inane drumming on sort
of tambOurine. There are many art
lists among them whose carvings and
etchings on ivory are of high excel
lence, says the Era.
There is marked difference in tie
adaptability to Caucasian customs be-
tween the menand women of this race.
The men are much keener in anticipat-
ling what is likely to meet with white
| favor, and lose no time in at least con-
cealing habits and inclinations that
are seen to be Objectionable, while tie
women make but little progress in this
direction. The contrast is best shown
at the white mans table, one or two
meals sufiicing to prevent any painful
exhibitions from the men; whereas
| with the women no improvement is to
be observed. With either sex, at such
| times, the unselfish soiicitude for their
absent friends is sure to evince itself
| in their setting aside the choicest NOR
, sells of food to be taken to them, never
failing, however, TO ask leave TO do
