The selection of Hon. John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi to be the lead
er Of the minority on the floor of the
House of Representatives promises well
for the leadership of the Democratic
side during the current Congress. 1t
IS the common opinion that the minority
leadership is an empty honor, with
out power or influence in legislation.
That. however, is not the exact truth.
The minority may lack the power to
enact legislation, but that it has in
fiuence in directing legislation cannot
be doubted BY adopting a policy of
patriotism and economy, and living up
10 it strictly, the minority party can
light up the dark places in legislation
and prevent the majority from rid
ing rough-shOd over the rights of the
people for the benefit of it's favored
interests. The leader of the minority
is placed. like a Waterman on a tower
in position TO take notice of all that
is passing and to raise an alarm if he
detects anything wrong. With the
leadership held by a man of conserva-
tism, sound judgment, ability, and tact,
the opposition is careful of it's PROPOSE
lions, knowing that weaknesses will
be discovered and evil intentions ex-
posed.
John Sharp Williams is one of the
ablest men in the House. He is in
the prime of life and active mentally
and physically. Ten years of service
in the House has given him the tacti-
cal schooling that is needed for the
leadership he has assumed. An alum
nus of three universities, of Tennessee,
Virginia and Heidelberg, he is pos
sessed CT a finished and polished edu-
cation. AS a debater he is logical,
forceful, convincing. His is not the
fiorid style of oratory. He does not
talk to hear the sound of his own voice,
except only when he has something to
say. And what he says carries weight
with it. Whenever he rises to adj
dress the chair, the whole House list
ems. He abominates friVolity, especial
ly in business so serious as that of
making the laws of a great nation.
There will be neither froth nor red
fire about the leadership of Mr.. Will
liams. He is a shrewd, earnest cap
able, honest man, and his work on the
floor of the House during the winter
will doubtless be heard from in the
campaign Of next year.

"A very little whisky sufices me-
said the man at the end of the table,
according to the Philadelphia Record,

ing little experience 1 had years ago,
when l was hunting big game out

in the way of tooth pulling--a genuine
doctor of dentistry was, of course, out

toothache which was aggravated by a

cry remedy l could think of. By that
time l was about insane, and, leav-
ing the camp in charge of my man,
who had saddled my mule, l drank
over a pint of whisky and set out
early on my long ride. 1 took some
more whisky with me in a flask and
drank that on the way. Now, for the

it had on me. 1t had had no effect
whatever when l arrived at my desti-
nation, except that it had made the
awful ache trihe less unbearable, l

and, l may say. it taxes a very small
quantity of whisky to give me quite a
little jag, as a usual thing. What do
you think happened when that treach-
erous tooth had been pulled out by a
brawny amateur, and in no gentle
way? Why, John Barleycorn got in
his work so effectively that l had hard

Just to Get Even,

Il have remembered what you told
me about the company you work for,
George" she said to the young tele-
graph operator who was calling on
her, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Il be-
lieve you said it was a grasping mo-
nopoly."
"Grasping monopoly is no name for
it, Mamie he exclaimed. why, the
company is so stingy that it breaks
pennies in two so as to make exact
change for overtime work"
That's what YOU said before.
George" she said, so l will just make
it all the trouble 1 possibly can. l
won't let it make cent out of me that
l can help. I've told lot of the other
girls, too, and when we send kilograms
we're just as mean as we can be-"
How, Manner" he asked, looking a
little troubled.
why, we always write the full ten
words, and use the very biggest words
we can think Of"
He got up and started for his hat
and overcoat.
Why. George!" she cried, tits all

For me?" he exclaimed.
Indeed yes. We're trying to make
the mean, stingy old company all the
trouble possible"
THE company" He almost tore a
sleeve out of his coat as he yanked it

Busy Drummer,

No, thanks, l shouldn't care to be
the snare drummer in the band, the
duties are too diversified and the ac-
ton a triffe continuous, says a writer
in the Worcester Post. l started to
count the number of parts taken by
the individual who holds the post, but
lost track of his multifarious stunts
at seven. Apparently, the manipula-
ton of the drumsticks is but a sec
ondary accomplishment. In one piece,
for instance, he started off at his
nominal duties and rolled and sattat-
ted right merily, then, abandoning
the sticks, he did funny things with
a couple of pieces of sandpaper, which
he dropped for a tamburine. This in
turn, was discarded for a triangle,
and then came another intermezzo on
the sheepskin.
Having got thus far he displayed
still further versatility and opening
his mouth gave voice to a cook-a-
doodle-dOo. Then came the barking
of dog, the soft signing of swine and
the love songs of a well-developed
calf, winding up with an unexpected
performance with a genuine revolver
that brought four women to the verge
of nervous prostration. O, yes he was
also an important number of the
chorus in several songs. No, thanks,
l shouldn't care to be the snare drum
mer in the band

A Wretched Trade.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Once on time, so I've been told,
There lived a Yankees daughter
Who loved a noble, skinny, old,
Who came across the water.
That is, she loved the license tag
He wore upon his collar;
And he-he loved the money bag
That held the Yankee dollar.
A thousand countrymen to curse.
And ne'er a one to bless him;
He even had to have (far worse)
A man along to dress him!
The ordinary mental feat
To him was necromancy;
He couldn't do a thing but eat
And drink and murmur Fancy
The Yankee maid. so I've been told.
Snapped youth and grace and
beauty,
And to the bargain added gold
To swell the beggar's booty.
She gave herself--lest these should he
Considered somewhat scanty.
And went to live across the sea
In some old moldy shanty.
She went away to be his wife.
And watch the drear years drag.
Love, youth, and wealth. a long, long
life
To earn a license tag!

A story of IseIin.

OF the childhood of c. Oliver Iselin,
manager of the cup defender Reliance,
they tell many stories in New Rochelle,
where Mr.. Iselin has his country
house, "All View"
According to one of these stories,
the boy Iselin and half dozen other
boys took a walking trip through the
state of New York a number of years
ago, One night, rather late, they pass
ed a farm whose gatepost bore the
sign Milk for sale"
Iselin said: We'll have some fun
with the milkman," and he entered
the yard, busted himself mysterious
ly for a moment, and then pounded
on the door.
A figure in white appeared at an up
stairs window and a bass voice said
What's the matter down there ?"
The matter is" piped the boy, that
your best COW is choking. You had
better come down to her."
The milkman dressed hurriedly and
descended, but of his kind informant
lie could find no trace. Neither could
he find any trace of a choking COW.
There was, though a turnip stuck in
E(is pump spout. With an oat he
drew it out and returned to bed.

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the
scalp and hair are caused by parasitic
germs. The Importance of this discov-

over-estimated. 1t explains why ordi-

most expensive character fail to cure
dandruff, because they do not, and they
cannot kill the dandruff germ. The

positively destroys the dandruff para

with personal effects belonging to the
congressman, and were destined for
Washington, under the congressmans

goods thus transported, at public ex-
pense under the postal frank privilege,
was 1900 pounds. The congressman did
not send his house and COW to Wash

The college men" of the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology had lot
of fun the other day. The freshman
football team captured a little pig,
painted it yellow and pasted 1907" on
it's sides. The pig was taken to the
grounds as the mascot of the team. A
crowd of sophomores, eXasperated by
the audacity of the fresh" gang in
having mascot and parading it in
their very presence, chased the little
pig and beat it to death with clubs in
front of the grand stand. There is some
satisfaction in the statement that the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals has taken up the matter
with the purpose of Furnishing the
wantonly cruel act.
