QUAY. THE REFORMER

The Hon Matthew Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania
IS engaged in a great work That he does not know it
does not IN the least matter for the result is likely to be
the same He is striving with effective might for the
reformation of the close corporation known as the United
States senate.
Senator Quay has become famous by reason of
his efforts III the reform line AS matter of fact there
are people in his home state who would scoff fife
should assume the pose of the reformer But God moves
IN mysterious way his wonders to perform" and Sena
tor Quay has become instrument in the hands of Prov
dence to bring about change in the conduct of public
affairs III the senate.
Day by day Quay obstructs public business in order
to force his omnibus statehood bill Day after day the
senate yields to Quay for be it known the senate is alto
geter too honorable body proceed by rule and is
not possible to apply clotue the member from Penn
syvania
The senate proceeds by consent of the members the
house is governed by rules Whatever may be said of
the rules of the house. however tyrannca they NAV be,
from the point OF view of the minority it must be con-
ceded that the popular body does business-whch the
senate does not.
The outcome of the good work that is being done bv
quay will be the reformation of the methods of doing
business Ill the senate. That must come in time for
though the of the United States like all great
bodies, moves slowly, still it will move some time and
the public will be the gamer
And when the time comes for the senate to adont
modern methods it will be demonstrated in spite of
what his enemies have said of him. that the Hon Mat
thew Stanley Quay has not lived in vain.

Is Total Stranger, Sanford was hop,

Track, but he wrote Cousin LATE to
be sure and come right to the House.
Sanford saw a very pink Week ahead
of him. He was not very Strong for

lead Cousin Lafe around and show him

somewhat Of a Rube. He wore White

So far as Sanford could learn, Cousin
LATE was a kind Of moral Sign-Board
and snow-white Object Lesson in the
Jay Town which claimed him as its
own. He was a Cemetery Trustee and
Chairman of the Committee to solicit
Funds for new Y. M, G. A. Building.
Also he had been prominent in the

A BEACON LIGHT FOR YOUTH.

George Washington has gone somewhat out of fash
ion In these days when capacity to dissemble is regard
ed as requisite to there indsposition to
follow the lines laid down for himself by the man whose
lie and accomplishments should as the guide and
beacon of youth and manhood
1t is not to be doubted that there are living TODAY
boys quite capable of assuming the role made famous by
the immortal George in the cherry tree incident But
tha because 1t is still possible for BOYS to be bows
Even the corrodng influences of the times have nor vef
reached extreme youth and it might be better for the
rising generation might contribute to better and clean
er manhood if the example of Washington were more
pers1stently held UP before the youth of the day
The disposition to commerciaism has put Washnp-
ton out OF countenance And yet is to be doubted if
boy could have better training the commercial life
than close study of the life of the Father of His Coun
try For Washington was, above all things else notably
good business
By adherence to rules of conduct which he laid down
for himself and which contained all the essential Gle
mets of in business life Washington carried ON
the conduct of large and varied interests and vet he
never permitted his private affairs interfere with his
duties as citizen the prompting5 of his patriotic
heart He was the most conspicuously successful man
OF his time, looked at from any point of view
Arguing from this material standpoint it would be
the better part of discretion for the parent and teacher
to put before the young the life of Washington 1t would
make for better manhood and higher citizenship if
the youth of today knew of George Washington even

Once there was a Man living in
Big Town and he had a Cousin whom
he never. had seen. Some people are
very lucky as to their Relatives.
The Man who lived in the Wicked
Metropolis was named Sanford and the
Cousin who lived out In the Woods
was known as LATE, although his real
Name was Lafayette.
Every Christmas, Sanford would
send some kind of a stingy Gift and
then LATE would retaliate by shipping
in a fat Turkey for Thanksgiving.
There was a formal Exchange of Let
ters about twice per Year.
Sanford was a good deal Upset one
day to receive Word that Cousin La
fayette was coming to spend a Week.
Whatever Joy he felt, he did not show
at all.
The visiting Cousin is liable to be a

vorable conditions, but 1t is more than

OUR DISPLAY AT ST. LOUIS.

The Gle be is quite of opinion with the Joint
committee OF the legislature that 100000 is enough
money for the Minnesota display at the worlds fair to
be held in St Louis That amount of money iudicous1v
and economically used, will provide an exhibit ADEQUATE
in every respect.
There is an element of doubt as to the utility and
prohtabeness of such exposons the to be held
The United States whole isn't in need of population
III excess of the normal increase and an exhibit Of
American goods in the United States is not seen by
pie we want for customers The number of foreigners
coming to St Louis to the fair will be an ininites
mai traction of the whole attendance In the first place
foreigners haven't the money travel on and if they
had they would prefer to go Paris Berlin London or
some other European capital. When mddle-cass for
egners come to the United States they come to stay
bringing with them their worldly possessions
AS spectacle for people, of course the
tar at ST. Louis will be great event 1t has been ten
years since there has been display such proportion
as to ent1te to be called national affair Since then
the people have become better off, they have money to
spend now, and many hundreds of thousands even mil
llons will take holiday trip to St Louis
Minnesota, Of course, should be adequately repre-
sened but not gaudiy goregously That such repre-
sentation be had for the sum of 100000 is conf
IDENTIFY believed The fact that theere prosperous times
all the for guarding against extravaganza
and the reckless Of public money. 1t woud-not be
bad idea tor the legislature to provide as possible
against the possibility of deficiency bill for the fair
exhibit and make condition that contracts for the
expenditure of money of the appropriation can
be made.

HIS VALENTINE.

My valentine I seize my pen.
To write to you the yearly verse;
shall not tune my Tyre again
To raptures which my soul immerse
Nor sing the archness Of your look
shall. not praise your sapphire eyes,
All, no! chant your bread and pies,
My valentine, for you can cookl
My valentine, love the glow
The ruby glow so softly spread
Upon your tempting, velvet cheek
When you have been a-baking bread.
Your hair Is golden. thick and fine,
In cleaning coil, and curl and loop.
And best of all, on, one divine!
! never find it in my soup!
My valentirei Let others write
Their lyrics to your hands and brow.
Your biscuits are as feathers light,
Your cakes are tempting anyhow.
Let others sing your charms so sweet,
With poetasters' gentle art.
For me, the things you make to eat
Have won the highway to my heart.

WHEN RUDYARD WRITES.

When KipIing takes his pen in hand
He may turn out screed
That will be seen in every land
And mighty kings will heed.
He may produce vagrom rhyme,
With every grace bedight,
But what he writes at any time
Will please the Kiplingite.
1t may be something which will ring
With bugle and with drum,
Where dusty soldiers hoarsely sing
Their chorus as they come;
It may be something sonnet-like,
All fanciful and light
Whatever theme his pen may strike
Will suit the Kfplingite.
When Kipling takes his pen In hand
He looks across the world,
And when the broad expanse Is scanned
The Ink is swiftly hurled
Kings on their thrones or wifey's kin
Are equal in his sight;
He may be sage or harlequin
And please the Kiplingite.
