The Leak.

Brigadier General George H. Harries
Of the District of Columbia militia was
for many years an active newspaper
worker at the capital. Some years ago,
when a Senate investigating committee
was trying to ascertain who gave the
press information concerning their ex-
ecutive sessions, George Harries en-
tered a committee room where Senator
Faulkner of West Virginia and Senator
Bate of Tennessee were discussing the
question, and Senator Faulkner said:
"Harries, I wish you would frankly tell
me how you newspaper fellows get in
formation concerning the transactions
Of our secret sessions"
After a moment of reflection Harries
replied: II should have no objection to
telling you if 1 knew you were author
lied to receive the information"
"Then why don't you tell the commit
tee?" inquired Senator Faulkner.
rs the committee properly consti-
tuted and duly authorized to receive
such information, Senator?"
"Of course it is"
How do you make that out?"
"Why it was constituted by the Sen
ate in the regular way, under the
Dolph resolution replied Senator
Faulkner. He then went on to give
every detail Of the manner in which the
Senate, in executive session, discussed
and adopted the resolution; how the
committee was constituted, and that il
was empowered to make the investiga-
ton. When the Senator had concluded
Harries said:
well, Senator Faulkner, that is the
way we newspaper fellows get our in
formation concerning all of the details
of the proceedings of the secret execu'
tive sessions of the Senate"
Senator Faulkner did not catch the
full significance of Harries' remark un-
til Senator Bate quietly and good hu'
moredIy said: Faulkner, If every Sen.
ator were as easy to pump as you are
we might as well hold our secret ses-
sions on the ortico."-Saturday Even

PneqPPles for RooSevelt.

The steamship Ventura, which ar
rived in port on Monday, carried pre-
cious freight. as the following from
the Honolulu Pacific Commercial Ad-
vertiser attests:
president Roosevelt will, inside of
two weeks, have reason to be de
lighted'-that is, if he has a. tooth for
pineapples. No doubt the President
never saw such fine pineapples as are
grown in Hawaii, and plot has been
matured to give him both sight and
taste Of the finest pines that Hawaii
produces.
Acting Governor Atkinson, upon
reading about the arrival at New
York in good condition of pineappIes
forwarded hence by Edgar Henriques,
was struck with the idea of giving
President Roosevelt and Cabinet a
treat of the Hawaiian delectable fruit
Accordingly he sent for Mr.. Henriques
and engaged him for the selecting and
packing Of a case of pineapples for the
President and his official family.

Il Thesis on Mary.

Mary was a girl af Dlatonic tenden-
cies. She loved a little Lamb. Mary
belonged to the Band of Hope and
was the original precursor of the s.
P. c. A. Love, though, is cruel, ac
cording to the poets and therefore
Mary was not worthy philanthropist.
If Mary had any brothers or sisters
it was very selfish of her to love the
Lamb so much. Maybe she didn't love
her mother; maybe her mother was
cruel to her and made her sweep
down the kitchen steps every Thurs
day as near IL o'clock as possible.
That may account for the psychology
icaI truth of reasoning set up in
Mary's mind which ultimately result
ed in her affection for the Lamb. The
only theory to explain in any satisfac-
tory manner Mary's love for the Lamb
is that she was girl of PIatonic ten
dencies.
An English psychologist has en-
deavored to arrive at solution of the
problem by advancing the theory Of
prenatal influences. At present, how
ever, no one is in a position to state
authoritatively that the constant pres
sure Of an angora goat rug in the
front parlor of Mary's mothers home
would so work upon the subconscious
self resident in Mary's mothers mind
as to produce by its aura a love for
the Lamb in Mary. Such casuistries
belong to the domain of pseudo-sci-
ence rather than to pure reasoning.
Since there is one link lacking in
the chain and that the direct evidence
of Mary herself we must lean to the
most natural solution of this vexed
problem, the one that first suggests
itself to reason, the one that best
stands the test of every contradictory
hypothesis brought to bear upon it.
Mary was a girl of PIatonic tenden-
cies.

He Had No Chance.

Ex-Congressman James d. Richard
son of Tennessee, who has given up
politics for Masonic activities, delights
to tell stories about the great Amer
lean game. IL had a friend" related
the Congressman recently to a group
of listeners, "who was a cotton planter
near New Orleans. One evening he
boarded a Mississippi River steamboat
bound north. Becoming lonesome. my
friend began looking for a little game
Of draw. He was not long in finding
1t, and sat in. He lost from the start,
and as the game progressed the stakes
kept getting higher. About o'clock
in the morning my friend began to
realize that his chances Of getting even
with that game were slim, when Just
then the steamboat whistle blew loud
and long. The planter pushed his
chair back from the table and said:
Gentlemen, have played in this hyar
game all night. I have lost and have
nothing to say on that account; but
I'll bet 800 that 1 can hOiler louder
than the whistle on this boat The
stakes were put up and one Of the
gamblers fastened to the engineer and
bribed him to put on all the steam pos
sible. The party repaired to the deck.
The whistle was blown The planter
yelled, but his voice was not heard
Gentlemen" said the victim OF the pO-
ker sharks, in this hyar yellin' contest
lost my money far and squar'; but
had a better chance to win than I had

Indian Politics.

The effect Of education upon the In
dian has been to revolutionize politics,
and the Indian has taken up the white
mans method: the campaign commit
tee has taken the place of the barbe-
cue and campaign literature the place
of the stump speech. The Indian takes
to politics like mosquito to a swamp.
He can tell the effect of a policy upon
his people quicker than a white man;
and an Indian politician, If one can get
him TO tell the truth, can make an ac-
curate estimate Of the result of an cleo
ton long before it takes place. The
Choctaws, while they do not show so
much progressiveness in other lines as
the Cherokees, are the best politicians
Of the Five Tribes.
The Choctaw Indians have dropped
the old Indian campaign and NOW the
winning party wins on a basis that
would do credit to any political ma
chine in the States. A regular cam
paign committee is appointed. It has
plenty of money. From the time it is
appointed until the campaign is over it
devotes its entire time to the cam
paign. The greater part of its work is
compiling and distributing campaign
literature. Every issue that is involved
in the election is gone over thoroughly
and every argument is answered. This
literature is printed in English and
Choctaw. The party that has adopted
the new method has won every cleo
tion in the Choctaw nation. The party
that clings to the old Indian method
is Observation-Disclosures City Journal
