0NE evening this summer I was
~ standing at the edge Of the
wood not far from my home. At
my, feet lay the lake, and close by
a brook danced and glittered in the
sunlight. Behind me were the
majestic trees Of the forest, and
the odor Of fresh flowers and leaves
all around came to me. Every
thing was still, not a ripple was
to be seen on the lake, and the
water glittered and cleaned in the
beautiful sunlight. Occasionally
a fish jumped out Of the water, and
not far away from me muskrat
was lying in it's house. I could
hear the distant lowing of cattle
returning home from the pasture.
I love peace and stiffness, and

longed to see. The stiffness was

HENDERSON WAS SURPRISED
To Hear That the MilIers Were Going
for His Official Scalp.

Dubuque, Ia, July 29.-Speaker
Henderson. in an interview yesterday
on the reports about the National Mil
lers' Federation's grievance against
him on the ground that he prevented
the passage of the London dock BILL
said: Il had not heard anything Of it
until Saturday last. when l first saw
an article on the subject l was great
ly surprised to see anything of the
kind from the millers, whose friend
have been all the time. and tried to get
their bill through. 1 gave them the
floor once and let it come up the Sec
end time. but members in charge Of
the measure wanted it passed over, as
they hoped for a compromise between
friends and enemies Of the bill.
This was twice the bills friends
had an opportunity. Later I proposed
again to have the blu called up by call
ing upon the committee, but Mr.. Taw-
ney. author of the bill. was absent that
day and other friends Of the measure
were unwilling to have 1t come up In
his absence, so that is three times the
bill practically had its day In court,
and for the reasons named failed to be
disposed of, but i'm no instance was it
any fault Of mine."
