pers. The six members who voted
against the bill were Democrats. Mr..
Littlefield, of Maine, was present, but
did not vote on either the rule or the

the rigorous terms of the rule. 1t had
been their purpose, they said, to offer
the Littlefield bill as an amendment to
the bill.
Mr. Dalzen Pa.), Mr.. Overstreet

as there was no quorum present. An
amendment was adopted to appropri-
ate 100000 for additional land for the
site of the government sanitarium for
disabled volunteers at Hot Springs.

Of the great English cabinetmakers

are placed, preferably. on the landing
at the head OF the main stairway,
though sometimes the brass table Is
to be seen In the entrance hall. On

NO practical use aside from that OF
their interest and beauty. They are

the bedroom candlesticks are kept
ready for use to light visitors upstairs

Women More Honest Than Men.

The number of women now en-
ployed In business and confidential
positions which offer opportunities to
dishonesty is very great. but 1t is rare
ly that any embezzlement. defalcation
or breach of trust Is committed by
them. This is perhaps to be explained
largely by the absence among women
of many of the temptations to which
men SO often lay themselves open
and also In great measure by that
sensitiveness as to reputation which
is more acute among women than
among men.
