The agony of the Delaware Senatorial
deadlock is over, boss Hanna of the
National Republican Committee taking a
hand in the affair and forcing the with
drawal, temporarily at least, of ]. Edward
Addicks, who has been struggling for the
prize of the Senatorship by fair means
and foul, most especially foul, since 1888.
The Union and Regular republican fac
tons in the legislature succeeded in effect
ing an agreement on Monday whereby
]. Frank Alice, Addicks Republican, was
elected to the United States Senate for
the four year term, and L. Heisler Ball,
Regular republican, for the two year term.
The little State of Delaware, which has
been unrepresented in the United States
Senate since March, 1901, and has lacked
full representation since March, 1899,
mainly through the influence Of Addicks,
at last gets its full representation, after
one of the most bitterly waged contests,
born of corruption, in the political history
of the country
In summing up the result of the agree
ment between the warning factions Della
ware daily pays its respects to the Addicks
forces in the following paragraph owe
presume that the Union republicans are
very we'll satisfied with the result They
did not get Addicks, but that does not
bother them. They much prefer, for
reasons that it is not necessary to specify,
to keep Addicks aspiring and striving for
a senatorship rather than electing him
and thus robbing him of his interest i'll
the politics of this State. They are no
doubt immensely pleased to know that in
all human probability they will have Ad-
dicks to furnish the sinews of war for
another campaign, in his desire to sue
coed Senator-elect Ball after the 4th of
March, 1905"

CURE FOR A KICKING cow.
FARMERS Method May Have Been All
Right, But 1t Was Not Carried
Out Right.

An old farmer-old enough to know
better-says that the way to cure :.
COW of kicking is to catch her by the
leg just as she is about to kick.
She should be grasped firmly, as
close to the hoof as possible, and the
grip must not relax until the kicking
impulse is over. Of course, the
kick must be headed off, as it were,
and not met halfway, nor even three
quarters way, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. 1t is a good idea TO
get the hired man to accustom him.
self to this simple fact, but at the
same time it must not be forgotten
that good hired man can easily be
spoiled by careless inattention to di-
rections.
AT first it might be well to use /
cowcatcher, or possibly an ordinary
fender, together with a catcher's
mask and padded gloves. Naturally
1t VIII be well to conceal your APP
pearance from the cow as much as
possible, because so many cows are
timid and easily scared by strange
objects. Then when the cow slightly
raises her hoof and shivers appre-
hensively along the ankle, don't wait
Tor further developments, but grasp
the lower leg firmly and hang on for
dear life.
A man named Mullins had a kick
ing COW of IA horsepower, and some
body told him about the grab-the-leg
cure. Mullins told it to his hired
man. The hired man had had the
milking stool kicked from under him
several times, and the milk pail bat
tered into scrap tin, and he said he
would be glad to try the recipe. So
he put on pillow for chest pro-
tector and jumped for the leg as soon
as he saw the premonitory symp-
toms.
Well, sir, he went through the
stable window as neat as you please,
taking the sash along with him.
When Mullins reached him he was as
dazed as mudlark.
"Nearthquake?" he feebly NUT
tered.
"No," said Mullins, ''the COW kicked
you"
Sow kicked mel" the hired man
repeated. II wonder how it hap
rened?"
81 wonder?" said Mullins.
But Mullins thought he knew,
though he hesitated about saying so,
for fear of hurting the victims feel
ings-and he was hurt enough al
ready.
The trouble was that the hired man
was so awfully cross-eyed that he
had grabbed the wrong leg!

Wakeful Children,

For long time the two year old child
of Mr.. P. L. Mcpherson, 50 N. Tenth St,
Harrisburg, Pa, would sleep but two or
three hours in the early part of the

parents. Her mother concluded that the
child had stomach trouble, and gave her
half of one of Chamberlain Stomach

stomach and she slept the whole night
through. Two boxes of these Tablets
have effected a permanent cure and she
is now we'll and strong. For sale by Eli

There has been much criticism of the
renovation of the White House and of
the Office building erected for the Presi-
dent in the White House grounds. The
decorations have been described as inap-
propriate and incongruous and the office
building as too small and insignificant
To persons who have had an opportunity
of seeing both buildings, however, there
seems little ground for criticism. The
President gave orders to have the White
House restored to its original design and
that has been done, adding much to the
convenience and beauty of the mansion
The office building was made insignificant
purposely with view to preventing its
detracting from the beauty of the White
House itself. Historically the interest in
the White House has been materially
increased by its restoration to the appear
ance it bore in the days of Jefferson.
