Refers to Those Who Have Won Senatorial
HonOrs for Illinois.

HOnors for Illinois.
The senator-elect then addressed the
joint session, saying in part: MIR.
Speaker, Senators. and Representative
of the FOrty-Third Assembly: l wish
to express to you my grateful acknOwl-
edgements for the high honor you have
conferred upon me in electing me
senator of the United States from the
grand state of Illinois. / am deeply
sensible of the honor and | appreciate
fully, too, l think, the responsibilities
accompanying it. In the eighty-tive
years of statehood which Illinois has
enjoyed as n member of the federal
republic l find list of distinguished
men who have represented her in the
senate of the United States, whose
names ont only enrich the pages of the
history of this state, but that of the
nation as well. No lcGislation has been
enacted by the congress of the United
States since 1918 in which the senators
from Illinois have not played con-
spicuOus part.
douglas. Breeze, Trumbull, Yates,
Logan, Oglesby and Palmer are names
that arouse the patriotic pride of every
IllinOisan. They not only placed the
name of Illinois in the front rank of
all the states which. form this republic,
but by their conspicuous ability be-
came great public characters. Their
deeds are imperishable and their words
serveas an inspiration, not only to this,
but to all the coming generations. They
form part of that splendid galaxy of
statesmen who have matle this repub-
lie the mightiest nation that has eX-
listed in the tide of time, and who have
set an example of loyalty and patriotic
devotion to duty that will last as long
as time itself.
"A state which has been honOred by
such men i'm the senate of the United
States naturally and rightfully de-
mands of their Successors a devotion
to duty and conservation to the best
interests OF the state and nation that
know no wavering or variableness
whatever. As far as my abilities war
rant / can assure you. gentlemen, that
it will be my highest ambition to profit
by the example of these distinguished
men and to so discharge my duties as
senator to meet the unqualified APP
prevail. not only of you, who honor me
with this great Office, but of the people
of the state, who have clothed you with
authority to exercise this great trust"

of the progress of Illinois since her
admission as state, and said Hold

promises only happiness ends in disap-
pOintrnent and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins. At
ter while she finds that it takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into a chair many
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
Cloudless on the morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL TIME
in many a woman's life comes lust a.
this period of Encouragement and de-
spair. She finds indications of disease
of the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis

takes prescribed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this woman's case is
durable on the evidence of women who

President ". II. Sexton returned
this morning from attending the
Western league meeting at Kansas
City. He reports a profitable session
and gratifying unanimity of senti-
ment on all the main points raised
during tire meeting. Yesterday the
board of directors was completed by
the election of W. \. Rourke, of Oma-
ha, to membership. The greater part
of the day was given up to revision
of the constitution. Yesterday also
the pennant was officially awarded to
Kansas City for the season of 1902.
Mr.. Sexton states that the report
published that there is no limit To the
salaries of the umpires is misleading.
While the constitution does not pre-

rectors have agreed among them

the walls are built of twigs, interviewer

substantially is the work done that,

The doorway is the smallest opening
possible for the bird to enter, and is
frequently so disguised that it is no
easy matter to discover it, even though
you may have first seen the bird dart
through it.
The outer doorway opens into a
small ante-chamber, which leads
through a small entrance into a larger
room, which in its turn opens by a
doorway into a spacious apartment
raised one step above the floor of the
other chambers and carpeted with soft
leaves and velvety moss. In the last

CLEVER FOX TERRIER.
He Might Almost he a Circus
Performer.

In Jamaica, New York, there lives
a very clever little fox terrier dog
who might almost be circus per-
former, so many tricks has he
learned. But his star performance"
is one in which he shares the honors
with a tiny Maltese kitten. In fact,
it is really the kitten that is the
star" The kitten is dressed in
dolls clothes, and submits with
much grace while the buttons are
fastened and the strings tied. Then
the fox terrier is told to "sit up"
which he does, without delay, bal
ancing himself on his launches.
Then the kitten baby is laid in his
arms" and both keep perfectly still
till the command is given: kiss the
baby gently"
Then the doggie bends over and
kisses kitty. Kitty does not like this
bit, but she submits with good
grace, only fattening her ears to
show her disapproval.
The minute the kitty baby is un-
dressed he shows her much less gal
lantry, for, with joyous bark, he
| starts to chase her, and the little
bundle of fur leads him a dance all
over the house, stopping now and
then to arch her back and spit at
him furiously.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Any BOY Can Construct One and
Thereby Leave the Old Family
Cat without Occupation.

Years ago cats had value all their
own, according to their ability to rid n
house or barn of the rats and mice
which infested these buildings, but
with the introduction of the automatic
trap, the felines may possibly have
been the authors of the exclamation
recently attributed to the horse when
the automobile made its appearance:
my occupation is gone!" However,
the cats still have the consolation of
being retained as pets, with an occa-
sional mouse as a secondary considera-
ton. The trap has come to stay, and
goes on dealing out death to the rodents
with as much regularity and faithful

A great many other birds build very

that. 1t is not very large bird-not

in former times. We show herewith
the latest idea in the trap line, which
comes to us all the way from Cape
Colony. This device is to be suspended
from the pantry shelf, and has an open
ing leading across what looks to be
perfectly safe path to the bait inside
the cage. But woe to the mouse or
rat which attempts to reach that bait,
for the path turns out to be a fitting
platform, which at the proper moment
swings on its pivots, releases itself.
