Belva Lockwood, the we'll known
womans rights agitator, is daily
visitor at the Capitol in the interest
of several measures pending to give
relief, as we'll as political recognition
to the women of this country.
Mrs. Lockwood wears a high poke
bonnet, parts her hair in the middle
and in many other ways suggests the
carfcature of the venerable maiden
supposed to represent Mrs. Democ-
racy." She was on the floor of the
House of Representatives recently be-
fore the days session commenced. AS
she strolled down the middle aisle in
front of the Speakers desk, in earn
est conversation with Deputy Sergeant
alarms ike" Hill, the rounderup of
the Democratic minority. Representa-
tive Champ Clark exclaimed:
Bless my soul, here comes Ike
Hill and the living Mrs. Democracy"
The members on both sides of the
House Immediately recognized Mrs.
LOckwood's resemblance to the carica-
ture referred to, while Mrs. Lockwood
smiled and waved her hand coquettish-
ly as she disappeared through the
doorway under the escort of Col. Hill,
During the debate on the Charleston
navy yard amendment to the naval. bill
in the House of Representatives last
Tuesday Representatives Legare OF
South Carolina and Kitchin of North
Carolina had addressed the House sue
cessively under the five-minute rule
They INDUCED in what might be term
ed friendly dialogue, so it was difficult
for Speaker Cannon to determine which
member had occupied the five minutes
allotted to each under the rules After
the debate had continued ten minutes
Speaker Cannon created laugh by an
nouncing:
''The time of the gentleman from
North Carolina and the gentleman
from South Carolina has expired
The House promptly recognized the
application of the old story about the
Governor of North Carolina and the
Governor of South Carolina and roar
of laughter followed, in which Speaker
Cannon joined heartily.

Held In a Confidence Man.

This story has the ring of famili-
arity, but it is told as fact, though
names are not given:
A gray-headed Western sheriff stood
on the corner of Broadway and Twen-
ty-third street last Thursday, when a
slick gentleman approached him, held
out his hand and exclaimed heartily:
by Jove, how are you? It's ten
years ago since we met ou5 West.
isn't it?"
The sheriff gripped the profered
hand earnestly and replied: "Eet's see.
The West is pretty big place Maybe
you can be a leetle more specific.
Hang it," replied the slick gentle
man. Can't seem to locate the Llace
to save my life."
"Ahi have it," cried the big sher-
if. Il have it, l knew your features
were familiar, and I'll bet that the
place / saw you in was Leaville
where I helped lynch - - 49,

And so saying he twirled the dapper
gentleman Ground. kicked him solemn
ly across the street, and as a parting
shot said:

the side of the house.
The sea air soon began to act on the
bronze, but instead of oxydiZing even
ly, it became blotched. An expert adj
vised that, until the oXydizing was
well advanced, 1t would be wise to
keep the Mercury cleaned with a
preparation supplied by him. He also
advised that care be taken to remove
the dust and sand that were blown on
1t, and one of the maids was told to
attend to it daily.
Within few days the maid an
nounced that she was going to leave.
She refused to give a reason, and they
let her go. Her successor remained
only three days, and then she quit
without notice at all, and fled from the
house before daylight. The third maid
remained only two days. The brok-
er's wife was perplexed first, then
mystifed. The other servants pre-
served a deep but embarrassed silence.
In real trouble of spirit, the brokers
wife confided in all her neighbors and
friends, and the Mystery of the Maids
became a topic of fervid discussion
at all the suburbs various feminine
gatherings. 1t grew in interest when
a fourth maid left after three hours
service.
And then the cook, hard pressed by
her mistress, explained the mystery
with many bushes.
Sure, am" she said, with a red
face, "they all do say as how 1t amt

mates in New York pride themselves
upon their respective kennels of high
ly bred dogs. Several of them are
specially devoted to St. Bernards and
there is a friendly rivalry among them
as to which one can boast of the best
st, Bernard.
Mr.. Rupert recently went to Bal
timore, and purchased at a steep fig
ure, from Thomas Shenfroths, a young
st. Bernard pup by Little Champion
Napoleon
There were several bidders for this
dog of high pedigree and Mr.. Rupert
is congradulating himself in bringing
the long pending negotiations to a
successful issue.
There are several well known New
Napoleon" pup, but Mr.. Rupert out
pointed and outbid his competitors by
personal visit to Baltimore.
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, has the
reputation of being the practical
business man in politics." 1t was up
on that platform that he was elect
ed to the Senate. He hopes to be re-
elected on a similar appeal to the
New York Legislature next year in
spite of the personal ambitions of
former Gov. Frank Black, and former
Secretary Root to succeed him.
Senator Depew's political rivals are
disposed to make campaign capital out
of a mathematical break the eloquent
Chauncey made a few days ago, while
pleading before the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, in
behalf of new postofflce building for
New York city.
In addressing the committee Senator
| Depew declared with dramatic en-
phasis:
Il wish to direct the attention of the
committee to the important fact that
so per cent. of the mail coming into
| and departing from New York City
is handled by two great railway sys-
TENS. The New York Central handles
60 per cent. and the Pennsylvania
handles 40 per cent
At this point, Representative Gill
lette of New York, chairman of the
committee, interrupted Senator De-
pew's flow of eloquence by remarking:
Senator your arithmetic appears to
be slightly faulty. You stated that
80 per cent. of the mail is handled by
two railway companies yet you go on
to show that these two companies
handle 100 per cent. of the mail"
How do you reconcile these conflict
ing statements?'
A burst of laughter followed by all
present and Senator Depew blushed
and offered an explanation, which was
inaudible.

New York. Feb. 2S.-District Attor-
rey Jerome is never happy unless he
is at the forefront. Whenever he can
not do something unusual, he tries to
say something unusual. .
Some of his sayings have been very
startling indeed. Sometimes certain
people in this community receive his
words nowadays with whole dish
full of salt.
For instance, when he told not long
ago of a gambling house where a fool
ish millionaire lad had been done out
of nearly half million dollars In a
crooked game there were plenty of
people who, not to put too fine a point
upon it. shrugged their shoulders and
wondered.
Personally, Mr.. Jerome is nothing
else than bundle of contradictions.
There are times when he expresses
himself on the most commonplace top
les in very picturesque style. There
are times when he makes most pic
turesque assertions in very common
place style. There are times when both
his assertions and his style are COM
monplace.
