vtded the nation, men of violent par
tisanship filled the seats in Congress
and in our legislatures. An era is al
ways flttingly represented by those
selected by the electorate. This is a
business era and our lawmakers rep
resent finance and trade. Our national
Senate safeguards the interests of bus
mess enterprises national In their
scope, while the lower house of Con-
gress attends to the commercial re-
quirements of the various districts"
Els not that too severe an arraign-
ment of our representatives" asked
Judge Sawyer.
II do not intend to reflect in any way
upon the character of Congress or of
the various legislative and municipal
bodies" declared Col Monroe. II am
simply attempting to make plain my
belief that this is an era of business
and trade, and to point out the fact
that 1t is only natural that these domi-
nant interests should control legisla-
ton. Nothing more important than
business occupies the public eye and
ear. OF course, there are honest and
dishonest business interests, but II Is
always safe to assume that any legis-
lative body is fairly representative of
the prevailing sentiment and the aver
age honesty of its constituents. But
mere is Ine point am driving at-DuSl-
ness problems do not make attractive
or spectacular campaign issues. The
people as a mass take little interest in
the discussion of business problems
which have been injected into political
campaigns. In the second place, the
divergence of opinion between the bust
ness interests which control the respec-
tive parties is so slight that can see
no necessity for the expense and tur-
MOL of an election"
I'm other words" suggested Col.
Sawyer, you hold that the business
interest is dominant in both parties and
has practically consolidated them into
trust. This, you hold, accounts for
the lack of public interest in political
affairs"
Exactly So" continued the Colonel,
"and in my opinion this consolidation
ends the conflict between these two
great parties which under different

! summer resorts and act as walters
through the hot weather. But we'd
none of us have to bother much about
working in vacation time if the theat-
rical women would only keep out of
the model business. Whenever a cho-
rus girl gets out OF work she tries to
get posing to do, and that overstocks
the market with models and keeps the
pay down, whereas If they weren't
available as models at all the market
would be better and the pay so much
higher that we'd have money enough
saved up by the first of June every
year to last us through"
Few or none of the girls that be-
long to the Models Club ever pose
to the photographers who make a
speciality of work for the fashion
pages and the periodicals. They rather
hold themselves above such employ
ment, being, in fact, the "aristocracy"
of the posing class. Nor are they often
required to pose Gin the altogether, p"
most of the artists who drew from the
club being illustrators, who work from
the draped model only.
The Photographic models and the
artists models belong to quite differ
ent classes, and their qualifications are
by no means the same. Coioring counts
for little before the camera, but beau
ty of outline is essential. since the re-
suit will be in black and white, and
the work of the camera can be revised
but little before it goes to the printing
press. With the artists model it's diff
ferent, since the artist can idealize. He
can also make his figures composites
if he chooses, using one model for the
arms, one for the eyes, another for
general pose etc. The model quoted in
this letter has posed mainly during the
last three or four years for her hair
which is abundant and trained to "lie"
in almost any style of coiffure.
Only a small proportion of the pro-
fessional women models in New York
are members of the Models Club, there
being at least five or six hundred in
the town who earn a part or the whole
of their livelihood Sitting for their
pictures"
Many of them secure engagements at
regular models employment agency
and many others make the galleries"
of some of the so-called art pho
tographers their headquarters. The
photographers models undoubtedly
earn more money than the others
Those who pose for fashion plates"
earn the most money probably, since
there Is quite as great a demand for
such pictures one time of the year as
another. In some respects their life is
more trying than that of the artists
models, but they are not subject to
such long sittings without moving

A plant with memory, with nerves,
with digestion; plant that can SUI
fer from Indigestion, that can have
nervous prostration. Such a plant
says the Philadelphia Record. would
seem to be almost an animal. yet
there is one in the University of Penn
sylvania Botanical Gardens that pos
sesses all of these qualities and which
is called the most wonderful plant in
the world. 1t is popularity known as
the Venus Fly Trap or the
Dionaea Musipula, and belongs
Gus plants, which depend partly upon
animal food for their sustenance. 1t
is found only in the extensive swamps
located about Wilmington, N. C. DR..
Macfarlane, the head of the Univer-
sity Botanical School, brought up
numerous specimens with him after a
recent trip in order that his students
might study the remarkable properties
of the half-human plant.
No Venusburg was ever more allur-
ing to an insect than is this aptly-
named growth. Nesting among the
MOSES of the swamps, it presents a
brilliant red-colored trap, like an open
clam shell or an old-fashioned rat trap.
tive hairs and presents an alluring pic
ture to the insects. The fly, or what
ever 1t may be, lights upon the sur
face; the first step of the insect pro-
duces no alteration, but on the next
move or touch the jaws close like a
flash and the insect is fast. With
each struggle the shell presses the
more closely, and once in the grasp
only the strongest beetle can escape.
The struggle causes an acid digestive
slowly digested, the process taking
from 10 to 10 days. Then the shell
opens again and the plant is ready
for another meal.
The digestive fluid has the same ac-
ton upon the white of egg as has
that of the human system, and ii may
be identical, though as yet botanists
cannot discover the same composition.
The irritable relations of the plant
which make II close are in action quite
similar to those of the nerve muscles
OF man and the lower animals, and
further experiments may show that
their fundamental composition is alike.

mains only the personality of the candi-

II believe you are right in your anly-
sis of the situation" said Judge Saw

ion, is not to be desired. A republic
such as ours needs two aggressive and
evenly matched parties. When a ma

SERVANTS IN ECUADOR.
When You Hire One, You Must Take
Her Family, Too.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
If you were living in Ecuador and
wished to hire a servant you could
hardly get one by himself or herself,
but would be compelled to take up with
a drove of them, probably far out
numbering your own family. For ex-
ample, with a cook you would have
to receive her husband and children,
and perhaps also her father and moth
er, into your house to bed and board,
and each would bring along all his
or her portable property, consisting
mainly in domestic pets, such as pigs,
chickens, rabbits, dogs and other live
stock"
The husband may have some trade
which he follows during the day. but
at meal times and when night comes
he returns to the bosom of his fam
lily and yours. 1t would be considered
downright inhumanity to refuse them
food and shelter, and not a servant
in Ecuador would work for so mean
a master or mistress. The children
of your cook may be utilized for light
services, such as running errands
wedding the garden and tending the
baby, but the numerous brood is apt
to be light fingered and certain to
be lousy, dirty and probably diseased
There is no help for it. however, be-
cause eel costumbre" has decreed that
for every servant you hire you must
expect at least a dozen extra mouths
to feed.
Nor is this the worst of it. Occa-
sionally the cooks relatives from an
other village come to pay her a visit
of a fortnight or two-lasting as long
as you will tolerate it-men, women
and children, bringing more dogs, pigs
chickens, etc, to be housed and fed.
Fortunately they are not accustomed
to "downy beds of ease" or sumptu
Gus living, but consider themselves in
clover if plentifully supplied with
beans cornmeal and potato soup. and
will sleep contentedly on the stones Of
the patio or the straw of the stable
The danger is that some of the stranger
hangers-on may not be as honest as
the cook herself is supposed to be, and
cases are known where thieves and
even murderers thus gained admission
to the inside of the casa, with disas-
frOus results

It's a long time since have had the
pleasure of listening to an old-fash-
toned political argument" remarked
Judge Sawyer, laying aside his favor
lite paper. And it's a long time since
have read an editorial with the IA
miliar political ring. When I first sub
scribed for this paper it never had a
word of censure for q, Democrat or a
kindly statement about a Republican
or his party. In those days-and they
were not long ago-a Democrat would
not allow a Republican paper to come
into his house, and a Republican never
saw the inside of a Democratic jour-
nal. 1t is not so in these prosaic
times"
when l was first elected to Con-
gress,' observed Col Monroe, party
feeling ran so high in and around Lin
colnville that persons of opposite po-
litical beliefs had as little to do with
one another as possible. Young women
marched in torchlight parades, and
signed agreements pledging themselves
as did the fathers and brothers of
these young women. All members of
each of the two great parties firmly
believed that the rival organization
was bent on running the country.
Shootings, and murders for political
causes were common. AS a rule Dem
ocratic merchants depended for their
patronage on Democratic customers,
and it was seldom that any but Re-
publicans entered Republican stores"
II remember very WELL" unused
Judge Sawyer, what a row was
created when it was discovered that
the new minister of our church was
not in political accord with the ma
jority of his congregation. He was an
eloquent, able and God fearing man,
and never tinctured his sermons with
the slightest hint of politics, but he
was compelled to resign and seek a
call from a community which imagin-
ed it voted as it prayed"
II haven't changed my political opin-
ions in forty years." declared Postmas-
ter Jenkins, proudly. 1t occurred to
Col. Monroe that. in common with
thousands of others, Jenkins had moth
ing with which to change an opinion,
but the Colonel held his peace. II
never voted for a man who wasn't on
my ticket, and never will" continued
the Postmaster, and / think that a
man who is always Topping around
from one party to another is not to be
trusted"
How do you account for this in
creasing lack of partisan feeling? ?"
asked Judge Sawyer, addressing Col.
Monroe.
