The bill was then declared adopted
on a viva voce vote. Mr.. Fordney,
(Repn., Mich.,) one of the Republican
insurgents demanded yea and nay
vote. The number seconding Mr.. Ford
ney were too small and the request was
denied.
On demand OF Mr.. William Alden
Smith, (Repn., Mich.,) another Re-
publican insurgent, the house divided.
Those arising to be voted in the affirm
ative were in SO overwhelming a ma
jority that great shout went up.
Those in the Affirmative numbered
335. Those opposed numbered 21 -
''and SO the bill was passed" announc-
ed the speaker at 4:38 o'clock
Just as Mr.. Payne had offered his
adjournment motion, Just before 1t had
been acted upon, Mr.. Hildenbrandt, Of
Ohio, was given leave to present priv
ileged resolution, upon his persistent
demand.
The clamor In the chamber died
down. Members wondered what was
to happen. They were all ears.
The stentorian tones OF the clerk re.
ported the request for an additional
employe in the house bath room.
The roar of laughter that went up
was almost sufficient in volume to
raise the roof.
The resolution was agreed to and the
house adjourned.

From the Gospel According TO St
Luke, Chapter II, Verses 80.
And she brought forth her firstborn
son and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes and laid him in manger, be
cause there was no room for them in
the inn
And there were In the same country
shepherds abiding in the field keeping
watch over their flock 10y night.
And. 10. 1le angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them, and they were
sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them: Fear
not, for, behold bring you good It'd
ings of great joy. which shall be to all
people.
"For unto you is born this day in
the city OF David Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you,
ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes. lying in manger."
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest. and on
earth peace, good will toward men,
And it came to pass as the angels
were gone away from them into heav-
en- the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem
and see this thing which is come to
pass. which the Lord hath made known
unto us"
And they came with haste and found
Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying
in the manager.
And when they had seen 1t they
made known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this child.
And they that heard 1t wondered at
those things which were told them by
the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things and
pondered them in her heart
And the shepherds returned. glorify-
ing and praising God for all the things
that they had heard and seen as it was
told unto them.

William S. Morrow vs.. Arthur T..
Moore. Rescript by Wswell, {. j.
A contract for the sale of real estate,
wholly oral, does not become enforcible
by reason Of The fact that the vendor has
signed deed In accordance with the
oral contract, go long a. that deed r.
mains in hia possession Or under his con-
troll, aud 1t is equally under his control
while 1t is in the possession Of his at
torney. Nor does the signing of deed
of land agreed to be conveyed and it,
being sent 10 the attorney of the person
signing constitute memorandum in
writing which will satisfy the statute OF
frauds.
Although the owner OF real estate may
have determined TO sell his property at
a certain price he Is under no obligation
to communicate that fact to a prospec-
tive purchaser, but may obtain a larger
price If the purchaser Is willing to pay
1t. Where there is no obligation upon
vendor 10 inform purchaser Of fact,
1t is not fraudulent concealment to
withhold Information In regard thereto.
Il is considered by the court that the
facts IN this case do not disclose that
the check In suit was obtained by the
plaintiff by means of any fraudulent
misrepresentation or fraudulent con
cealments of material facts, and that
the evidence shows a sufficient consid-

Beware of oyersweetness. A little
acid is good for the constitution.

You will differ on many things, but
don't dispute thnm; agree to disagree.
Be unseldsh. even If he isn't. It's
the only way you can be blameless

Opposltes attract. Keep your own
spice of individuality. but don't let it
stoop to aggressiyeness.
Never try for effect The average eff.

Give him plenty of rope. He may
love you ever so much, but he doesn't

Don't imagine that love makes up all
of his life 1t is only one side of 1t.
But make il the best and brightest
side.
If he forgets his appointment and

Table Mats,

The common custom of using rush
mats under hot dishes as a protection
to the polished wood does not appeal
to housewife as giving an air of
daintiness to a prcttily set dining ia
BILE, and we suggest a pretty idea for
table mats. Cut a round or oblong
piece of linen the size desired and en-
broider with sprays of flowers or a
conventional design, then cut two
pieces half as large for the underside
Place the two straight edges together,
which should be on the selvage ut the
middle across the center When placed
In this manner they are the size of the
upper piece, and both should be basted
together and a scallop worked around
the edge through the top and under
side. Now you have a mat withfan
opening In the center, into which you
can slip a piece of asbestus cut the
shape of the linen, only trihe small

slip out the asbestus and laVrder same

Chasing the Rainbow.
portland Advertiser).


The story is told of Maine farmer
who became dissatisfied with his home
town, and his condition in life generally,
and decided to sell hts property and
move to some more promising field out
side the State. He consulted real
estate dealer and placed the business of
selling the farm 10 his hands, whereupon
the real estate man constructed an aG-
vertisement, describing the farm and its
location and praising both in such glow
irg terms that the farmer was himself
convinced. So he paid the agent for his
trouble and settled down Oh the old farm
for the remainder of his days contented
and happy. There is double moral to
this story. The first teaches us that the
glowing descriptions of distant oppor-
tunities so frequently brought to our
attention, are written by men who have
something to sell. The second shows
the importance of realizing the oppor-
tunites that are near at hand. We are
all too apt to view familiar scenes and
home associations with measure of
contempt. They are all well enough in
their way, we think, but they do not
compare with the opportunities that are
waiting somewhere in the distance.
When we look upon an artists repre-
duction of bit of beautiful landscape,
we think of the scene as existing some
where away eff from our accustomed
round of travel. We do not realz} that
the same artist might stand at our own
back doors and receive an even greater
inspiration. Hence the importance of
being told now and then of the beauties
and resources OF our own state and
neighborhood. Advertising pays even
If it brings no other result than to cause
us to better appreciate our own posses
sions. Otherwise we may gain such APP
probation only when we return from
chasing the rainbow.

Portland Press: The Springfield Re-

quarter million dollars to be paid for the
friars' lands 10 the Philippines is to come
out of the pockets OF the American tax
payers. II Is not clear how the Reput-
lican makes that out, however. Accord

tary Root Is soon to invite proposals for
subscriptions to an issue Of Philippine
government bonds for the purchase of
the lands They will bear interest at
four per cent, will be payable at the
pleasure of the Philippine government
after ten years and will be due 10 thirty
years. The lands, after being purchased
by the insular government, will be re-
sold, or they may be leased for period
not exceeding three years, and the pre-
ceeds of all sales and leases are to con,
stitute trust fund for the payment OF

South American Feeling.
Boston Transcript

In the interest of historical accuracy
1t may be well to remind readers who
may have been misled by certain
speeches in the United States Senate
that Latin-American republics are not
all either Indifferent or hostile to our
course with regard to Panama: Brazil,
Mexico and Nicaragua recogniz d the
republic of Panama at a very early stage
of its existence. They had taken this
action at the time when Senator Hoar
said that no republic from the Gulf to
Cape Horn had reeognZ Ptnama.
Since his words were spoken, Peru has
recognized Panama. There Is very
general desire in South America to see
the Panama caunal completed. South
American public men realize that their
countries will be immensely benefited by
the opening of the great waterway be-
tween the two oceans.
