THE CAPITOL BAR RooM.-The pro-
viso added to the thirty-fourth section
of the immigration act by the house of
representatives forbidding the sale OF
intoxicating liquors in the Capitol
building is the subject of much discus
sion among those who have fingered in
Washington and who have been in the
habit Of patronizing the house bar. No
one in the house gave the matter seri-
GUS thought when it was offered. 1t
was confidently expected the senate
would strike out the provision. That
course had been followed upon former
occasions when provisions had been
added to bills merely to crafty the feel
ings Of the considerable number Of per-
sons who were asking for legislation.
The senate, however, knowing the spir-
it Of demagogy that prompted the
house, deliberately retained the provis-
ion, although it was hardly german to
the bill.
The sale of liquors in the Capitol has
been a bone of contention for many
years. Resolutions have been passed
by the respective houses forbidding
the sale, but failed to accomplish the
object intended. For a number of
years past, however, no liquors have
been sold in the senate end Of the Cap
itol, but at the house side everything
has been wide open," and the profits
Of the dealer have been largely aug
mented by reason Of the fact that he
has had the exclusive sale. But while
liquors have not been sold to the gen.
eral public at the senate restaurant, II
does not follow that senators have suf-
fered on that account. There Is. per-
haps, not a committee room on the
senate side in which a private bottle
may not be found, and it Is not an un-
usual occurrence for an elaborate
luncheon, with stimulating fluid ac-
compartments, to be served in senate
committee rooms. 1t Is, nevertheless
true that liquors have not been sold
in the senate restaurant for several
years.
On the house side the sale Of intoxi-
cants is conducted without any effort
at concealment, and within certain
hours Of the day few bars in. Wash
ington set up a greater number of
drinks" than the house restaurant.
There has always been some kind Of a
rule in relation to the sale Of liquors,
but as the house restaurant is under
the speaker and committee Of public
buildings, the rule has been given just
such attention as those authorities de-
cided upon.-Washingt Post.

direction without appearing to see
him. Mr.. Bully Immediately took the
place that had been vacated by the
side of Miss Juliet. But did she sub
NIT quietly to this arrangement? No
lady Of the human form divine" could
have shown her displeasure more
plainly. She turned her head away,
stepped down and walked off in the
direction her lover had gone. Mr.. Bull
ly stood for a moment as If meditating
and then he, too, stepped off the mimic
stage, and all became common chick
ems once more.
A hen came off the nest with one
chicken. She was very sensible hen
and did not waste too much time on
that one. When she thought it was old
enough to look after itself, she went
to laying again. This chicken would
go with her to the nest and when the
time for sitting on the eggs came the
patient little creature assisted In that
process too. When the brood was
Matched she followed with it, and after
few weeks Of this life the practical
mother turned the family over to the
elder sister, and again went about
what she considered to be her chief
business in. life-to lay eggs.
1t was novel sight to see the half
grown chicken taking care Of the
brood. She did her best to initiate the
mother, scratching and trying to cluck
but making a strange noise. The little
chickens followed her constantly and
seemed to forget all about the mother.

COLLECTING DOG TAX WITH A GUM
Levi C. Devore, the assessor of Lon
dondery township, has found more
dogs than any inhabitant ever dream
ed could belong there.
Since the close Of the hunting sea-
son, Mr. Devore has been studying the
last assessment relative to the owners
Of dogs, and concluded that many per-
sons evaded the dog tax. In making
his visits, he carries with him a pock-
ct rifle. After assessing real estate
and horses and cattle, he asks: "Do
you own a dog?"
mo, sir" was the usual answer.
Whose dog is that outside the
door?"
II don't know"
do you want him assessed"
mo, sir"
"Then I will kill him." remarks the
assessor.
He produces the rifle, but before hi
has time to go out to shoot the dog
the owner says, Don't kill him. I will
pay the tax
The assessor has killed but foul
dogs, while a large number have
been added to the tax list.-Philadel.

THEY ALL KNEW MILWAUKEE,.

What Caused a wisconsin d. A. r..
to Have a Tired Feeling In WASH
ingtOn.
One Of the Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution, who is a member of a
northwestern chapter, was at the re-
cent congress, which closed its session
in Washington at 1 o'clock Sunday
morning last. She tells the following
story:
II met at the capital the wives and
daughters Of most of the foreign en-
bassies and legations. Charming wo-
men; but What funny ideas some OF
them have. What queer questions
they asked! =
when I was introduced to the wife
Of one Of the ambassadors she said
with sweet simplicity:
$50 you come from the northwest?
What state?'
when I said Wisconsin, she said:
'Ah, yes, you know Milwaukee, then.
"If I know any town 1t Is Milwau-
kee. But wondered why this woman,
whose home Is leagues beyond the SEAS
and who has not been in this country
long, should speak as she did Of Mil
waukee. Later in the evening when
my curiosity had free rein I drew her
out on the subject and she said:
"T should so much like to see the
great American city where they make
such delicious a beverage. All, the
Milwaukee beer!'
1.-THE next one I met said:
"'You are from the northwest? And
your home is-?'
Wisconsin,, I said.
"T do not know 1T, you will pardon
me, L do not know. where it is, she
answered.
Wisconsin" said, is the state Of
which Milwaukee is the metropolis
"'Ah,' she replied, fairly clapping
her jeweled hands. I know-1 know,
now. Milwaukee Is where the Ameri-
can beer Is made
"Then there was another bewildering
woman who spoke no English, but I
learned through an interpreter that
she so much longed to see Milwaukee,
because, she said, it was the city which
was better known to her family than
any in this country, next to Washing
ton, as her family all liked the beer
that was made there.
"And then I met foreign minister
and he was so polite, so courteous, as
they all are, and when I said. in reply
to his question, that I was from Wis
consin, I added quickly:
my home is not far from MilWau-
kee, which is noted for its beautiful
women
eyes, yes he added, bowling like
courtier, and ze splendid beer
"Well, it was we'll intended, Of
course. But I must say that it got to
be a trife tedious. I rather envied the
women who hailed from other cities.
Milwaukee is a beautiful city, but 1t
has something else besides breweries."

AMONG THE CHICKENS.
Some Stories Indicating the Intelli-

Some Stories Indicating the Intelli-
gence of Barn Yard Fowls.
Chickens cannot talk-at least in any
language that we can understand
but who shall say that they do not
have the same feelings and emotions
that animate the human breast?
I was sitting by the window one day
with my sewing, when a beautiful
Plymouth Rock rooster came along es-
corting two of his own kind and one
black Spanish lady. He walked very
proudly, conversing pleasantly. His
voice had a pleasant sound, anyway.
A fine grapevine opposite the window
seemed to be the destination Of the
party. 1t was in the spring; the grape
leaves were young and tender.
I was moved with admiration as the
young pilgrim displayed his gallantry,
and his unself1shness, too. He picked
off the leaves as high up as he could
reach-and it was astonishing how
high he could reach-and scattered
them on the ground for his compan-
ions, only reserving for himself one
small mouthful at the close Of the
feast. When the picnic was over they
went away in the same order and I re-
sumed my sewing.
Two hens sitting near each other
Matched about the same time. One
had fine brood of chickens, the other
was very unfortunate; the few that
were Matched all died in a few days.
After the last one was dead she con-
tinued to cluck, and would follow the
other hen around. Selecting one little
chick Of the brood she decided to kid
nap it. While the mother was busy
providing for her large family the
childless hen would go close to the lit
tie chick that she so much coveted
scratch for it and talk lovingly to II
until she finally persuaded it to accept
her as q mother 1t took several days
to accomplish her purpose, but she
was patient and persevering and SEEM
ed perfectly satisfied at last with the
one chicken.
1 was once highly entertained by q
little play in which some bantams
were the performers. I do not mean
that they were trained-this occurred
in their own yard and was impromptu
There were two roosters-one red, one
white. The red one was beligerent; ir
fact was perfect bully. He did not
allow the other any privileges that he
could keep from him, and was con-
stantly picking quarrel. He stood sc
far back on his small dignity that
there were very little space between
his head and his tail feathers.
One day 1 noticed the white rooster
and pretty little hen standing side by
side on a low step. They had their
heads close together and looked like a
feathered representation of Romeo and
Juliet. Presently along came the ty-
rant: Romeo, no doubt thinking dis
cretion the better part of valor," while
his enemy was still at little distance
but coming that way. stepped leisurely

| RUSSIAN PEAsANTs.-One Russian
village through which we passed was
the embodiment of filth and squalor
A destructive fire was raging at one end
Of it, and round this all the inhabi-
tants were gathered. One house was
already burned down, a second was
one mass of flames. and the fire was
rapidly spreading to third, yet not
hand was raised to arrest it's ruinous
progress.
"Why on earth don't you put out the
f1re?" shouted my companion to one of
the peasants, who approached me with
servile and wistful look, as If he ex-
pected an Offering of money. Have
you no buckets?"
Surely your excellency deigns to
know that it isn't buckets we need!"
"Well, it isn't strong arms, either,
fancy. Why don't you go to work."
"Your grace wouldn't have us fly in
the face Of heaven! We've sins
enough on our souls without adding
that black crime to them. Wasn't It
Gods own lightning that set Petroff's 8
house on fire couple Of hours ago?
And bad as we are, there's not man
in the village that would raise his hand
to undo Gods holy work."
My friend raised his hand, waved 1t
despairingly and we drove on.
Its a mere waste Of time to rea-
son with them," he said. "They would
as soon commit suicide en- masse as
put out a fire that God had kindled
with his lightning."- Maga-
zine.

"ObituaFy."

Henry Marshall, who Is the only Re-
publican senator from Brooklyn this
year, was newspaper man in his
early days. Even now there are occa-
sions when the senator delights to tell
Of his former experiences as Jour-
nalist, and to dream Of the fortunes
that he would have made had he stuck
to his profession.
Thus is was the other day, that the
Brooklyn senator joined a couple OF
fellow statesmen to hear this old and
mellow story, told by new member
who thought that the tale was likewise
new. It ran as follows:
"Once on a time there was an Irish
man, whose wife, Nora, lay on her
deathbed. Finally the wife said:
"'Pat, Oive lahst bit of koindness
to ashk of ye. Will We be so good as
to roide with me mudder to me fun
eral?'
"'Oh, yes, that will; but it'll take
all the pleasure out Of the day. said
Patrick.
THAT makes me think Of the time
when I assumed the editorship Of the
Seneca Falls Courier" remarked Sen
ator Marshall, gravely, after a mo-
ment's silence. "The next week after
had taken charge Of the paper hay
seed came into the office and wanted
me to publish a half column obituary
Of friend Of his who had died out
west.
"'Well,' said I, 7 can't give up all
that space to your friend. I'd like to,
but I've got to print some other news,
too
"'Never mind said the hayseed,
It'll increase the circulation Of your
paper

asked, thinking that after all he knew
more about the newspaper business
than I did.

A Thick Fog Indeed.

Speaking of fog" the major said,
"you have some tolable thick fogs
around here all right-that fog you
had here on Tuesday, for instance, GER
tainly was a snifterino, but really that
was only a light, thin haze as COM
pared with some fogs I've seen.
"Why, say, when I was living In
West Slabbington, Ark, we had fog
settle down on US there once that was
so thick you could not cut it with an
axe. Oh! Of course, don't mean that
literally. You could have chopped II
with an axe, but not easily, as one
man discovered who had a serious rea-
son for wanting to find out.
"This man was just then getting out
rock for the foundation Of house ne
was building, and it occurred to him
when that fog settled down that he
might get out blocks Of fog that would
do just as well as stone, and that he
could get them in any shape he wanted
with far less trouble. Then 1t was
that he tried chopping out blocks OF
the fog with an axe, but found that II
was too hard work, and so went to get
ting 'em out with steel wedges and
sledgehammers, he and his hired man
working as fast as they could, because
they knew very well that that fog
quarry wouldn't stay there foverer.
"They got out fog blocks enough fol
the whole cellar, including strips fol
caps and sills Of all the cellar windows
and built the walls Of them. And you
can get some idea Of how dense that
fog was when I tell you that those eel
lar walls, laid Of blocks Of it forty
three years ago were still standing
the last time visited West Slabbing-
ton, and the man that built 'em was
still living in the house, hale and
hearty.
''And the walls were not only stand
ing, they We're in good condition as
ever-all but the window caps. These
had finally bent and sagged little In
the middle, and the owner told me
that he had replaced them with stone
caps; but the fog walls were all right
still, and the owner said that he be-
lieved those caps would have stood all
right, too, If he'd only cut 'em just a
little thicker.
"Oh, yes; that was thick fog we
had here last Tuesday, all right, but
very thin and watery compared with
that one I'm telling you about that we
had in West Slabbington, Ark"
