On a farm rainy days are a trial 10
housemothers more than TO anybody else.

II the family can AFFORD but one IRE 10

there IS another place where the. children
and boys can be comfortable and not IN
the way. nothing pays better on the farm
than this extra good IRE. and consequent
quiet TO all concerned
A mother who has 10 do her own work
may set help on rainy. cold days that she
cannot get on fair work days; but. as
rule. everybody is glad when the rain
ceases and the house Is cleared out. II L
had my life 70 go over again. with raising
and nursing little children. worrying with
sick children and struggling TO keep the
domestic machine in running order. I'd al

Therefore. I call attention to the value
OF an extra FIRE where the mother and the

Mr. spurueon,s orphanaue.

Rev. Charles H Spurgeon was a great
preacher in thought. also in action. His
great preaching ability was supplemented
by great executive ability in making HIS

OF these good works his orphanage or
orphan asylum was one of his greatest,
and still remains as a monument TO his
memory

orphans and has received nearly twenty
FIVE hundred within its walls. The move

A week passed and there was no Dewey.
HH was almost forgotten by his compan-
ions. But Frank, in his lonely grief, had
TAKEN 70 long walks in various directions,
with an eager, ever watchful lookout for
a yellow dog. He was growing more and
more hopeless as he saw the frequency Of
the dog wagon visits. The license and
collar were carefully hidden away against
the possible time OF their need.
Then he came once more upon Pete, the
Blank street boy.
"Hulio." chuckled that worthy, ''how,s
yer dawg?"
Frank regarded him with a suspicious
glance. You got him?" he inquired at
length.
Pete's freckles deepened into iercer
red, and he sputtered Indignantly.

own house and his own gang and Frank
raised his voice in a shrill cry Of rage.
And Dewey heard the beloved voice and
struggled out from the cover where he
was hidden and came Ieaping down the
stairs, giving Joyous tongue.
Pete was enraged. and he let fly a vic
ious kick at the dogs lean sides. Then
Frank rose in his might and smote the
Freckled one fiercely. and, fearing the
Blank street gang, whom it does not do to
meet single-handed, he picked up Dewey
and fed. Fled back to the safe shelter OF
'Steenth street-his heart light, his eyes
dancing and his mouth uttering foolish
endearrnents to a yellow face that lolled
a red tongue over his cheeks and neck.
There was great rejoicing in the cellar
that day. Dewey, collared and licensed
and cranned with sausage from the deli
catessen store, was king Of the carnival.

 Tine same spirit that animated the patriotic policy of homestead lands for the people is behind the wise policy of erecting public buildings by the govern ment.
 The aim and intent of the homestead law was to aid in making contented' prosperous, patriotic and God-ledrlns citizenship by conferring the inestimao-e blessings of home.
 And today, around the sacred altar of the homes of the plain people or our country are born the noble inspirations that give strength,' stability and purity to our republican form nf government it is there we find the real nursery or American liberty and our splendid man hood and womanhood. A liberal policy in the erection of public buildings leads to the same end"

SPEAKER HENDERSON.
Has Been Considerably Drubbed By
 Congress.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 The full etXent of the drubbing admins tered to Speaker Henderson and his asso- ciate managers of the House of R. p:e- sentatives. in connection with the pass age of the Cuban reciprocity bill, can only be appreciated by those who are familiar with the speakers enormous power and the arbitrary use he makes of it. A re- volt such as occurred seemed beyond the range of possibility.
 Persons intimately associated w;th Con gressional life had frequently heard the pi edction that some day the ruling cliqu2 would be overturned. The prophecy ap- peared each time that an important piece of legislation about which there was difference of opinion came up for action. The overturning, however. did not come until last Friday. That, was black Fri day for the Speaker and the Committee on Rules and their prestige has suffered beyond repair
 Heretofore when there were signs of disturbance and revolt they quieted them by means of the caucus That is the great leveler of party differences. They could not get caucus however, for the consideration of the Cuban reciprocity measure. The ao-caled beet sugar insurg- ents would not consent to go into a meeting where they could be harnessed by a vote of the majority. They have proved to themselves and to the country that the Speaker can bc overthrown. and to this extent at least have rendered a SSINiCt Ol iillHtdSuTtdDlt NdIuG.
 Hereafter. so long as the present rules of the House are maintained. no man will be safe who attempts to play thr role of despot. In the ordinary affairs of the House he will undoubtedly have his way, but on great public questions iu which the whole country is interested he will have to yield to the opinions of his colleagues or suffer defeat as did Hen derson.
 How far the revolution will affect Hen derson's future is yet to be determined. On the face of things Henderson's career as speaker. regardless of the outcome of the next Congressional election, is inn ptrilcd. The men who voted against his dictum will of necessity be his enemies They feel that so long as he remains in charge of the House machinery they are marked as the agents of his humiliation Viewed from this standpoint. the vote on the reciprocity bill can be considered the beginning of movement to destroy the Speaker. With Henderson will go Payno, Ddlzell, Grosvenor and the other repre- sentatives who have contributed to mak, his regime the most unpopular that has ever been known in the House of Rep reSentatiVes.
