MRS. DENlsoN's TRAVELS
President of General Federation OF
Women's Clubs Has Established
q Unique Record.

Mrs. DENIES T. S. Denison, presi.
dent of the General Federation of
Women's clubs, is at present at her
home in West One Hundred and Third
street, Manhattan, resting between
journeys. And she probably needs the
rest. For three months she was as CON
tinually on the road as a commercial
traveller. In those three months she

a lifetime, and all without going out

the Mississippi six times. got almost
out to the coast twice and kept en-
gagements in Louisiana and Texas,
and engagements in Michigan and the
Dakotas. She visited % states in all,
Travelled about 10000 miles, talked to
not far from 100000 women and came
home fresh as daisy and having
gained weight during her travels.
That is something of record even
for these strenuous days, and now she
has started off again to Florida first
and then to Arkansas and Tennessee
and possibly to one or two other places.
All this, of course, on federation bust
ness. Who takes the place of presi-
dent to that enormous aggregation of
women must make up her mind to put
her own private and personal affairs
entirely in the background for two
years. And even that Mrs Denison has
not done, inasmuch as her mother has

did not foresee when she took the

the petals so arranged as to leave
space for the painted portraits of the

painted picture a tiny photograph may
be inserted if desired, and if cleverly
done the effect is good, although the

for it was he who urged and encour-
aged his wife to go into club life and
cheered her through her first moments
of stage fright and was so proud and
pleased at the general recognition of
her brilliancy and graciousness and
ability that sha couldn't help being
pleased and proud with him.
Speaking Of her travels-and even
as she spoke MIS-. Denison was dressed
and ready to go to big local club re-
ception as guest of honor"-she said
to Brooklyn Eagle reporter: 81 had

way. 1t seemed to me that each town

They are such forceful, brainy, prac.
teal creatures. They don't seem to
waste so much time on unimportant de-
tails, but get right down to the meat
of the matter. l suppose that in our
eastern cities our various reforms and
charities and public works are SO well
organized, so crystallized that there is
not SO much for the clubs to do. But
out west the women's clubs are an ac.
tive living public force, doing things
that ought to be done, accomplishing
things that need accomplishing. And
their hospitality is not mere civility;
their politeness seems to be a deep
seated courtesy that springs from real
kindness.
II think any one who had been on
my recent trip with me would have
realized the uses of women's clubs
Possibly occasionally they would have
realized their abuses, too. But in the
main they do stimulate and develop

an obsession with women But those

be something else. OF course, whole
lot of them take themselves with ire

funny.

HINTS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS
Caring for the Baby Is Robbed Of
Many Trials by Adopting

Young mothers usually know very
little about the care Of babies, and this
lack of knowledge is apt to make the

the mother time to attend to other

stuffing for Green Peppers.

Corned beef hash is said to make an
excellent stuffing for green peppers.
OF course no one would make hash on
purpose to stuff peppers with, but hash
is often left over. A housewife of an
hash left over filled some peppers with
it, poured around them brown gravy
of butter, flour and water and baked
them. She says there is no doubt of
the success of that experiment.

most desirable seat in the senate
Next in order are Allison, of Iowa;
Proctor, of Vermont; Hale. of Maine;
Hoar and Lodge, of Massachusetts,
and Burrows, Of Michigan. German,
of Maryland, occupies the conspicuous
seat in the king row on the demo-
cratic side. Aldrich, who is usually
regarded as the floor manager for the
republicans, has never chosen a seat
in the king row, but has place just
behind, and Hanna's place adjoined
that of Aldrich. Frye, of Maine, and
Plat, of Connecticut, are in the very
front row, although Frye's place is
usually occupied now by John Kean,
of New Jersey, while the Maine SEN
ator presides over the senate.
So long as the republicans have so
pronounced a majority in the senate
it will be the fortune OF some of them
to be isolated in the corner of the
democratic section of the chamber.
Just now there are enough republicans

forced to choose seats-Hitt, of ILL

bers of congress.
The excitement is an indication of the
sensitiveness of statesmen at the capitol
Just now to any development which
might seem to connect them, even re-
motely, with the Irregularities in the
post Office department 1t is due largely
TO the oflciousness of somebody in the
government printing office who for the
lack of any other headline manufac-
tured for the document the title
"Charges Concerning Members of Con-
gresz," when, in fact, there were no
charges whatever and the document con-
sisted simply of compilation of routine
letters, such as any congressman is
writing daily to department officials, on
all sorts of matters affecting his dis
trict.
In the entire list of congressman
whose names were published there is
not one who is properly open to criti-
cism for anything that he did, for there
is no intimation that any one of them
profted directly or indirectly through
tke advances they secured in the allow
ances for post offices in their districts
In almost all the cases the sums in
voived were small, amounting in only
two or three instances to more than
$500 year, and in almost every in
stance all that the congressman did was
to forward with his Endorsement the
local postmaster's request for an adj
vance.

Foraker and Depew, and he leaves
among the democrats a number of re-
publican unfortunates.
The bowling for desirable seats in
the senate is about as lively as any
thing that happens in that staid and
dignified body 1t is always case
of first come first served. Favoritism
or influence count for nothing. When
ever senator is approaching the end
of his term and there is any question
whatever about his reelection some
one of his associates who happens to
be less fortunately placed in the
chamber is sure to file an application
with the sergeant at arms for the seat
which may be left vacant. The first
man who gets his application in gets
the seat. There is never any other
outcome.
Instances have been known where
senators have filed applications on the
seats of venerable or invalid associates
whose days on earth were supposed to
be numbered. That sort of thing is
not apt to make man popular at the
time but nothing succeeds like SIC
cess and after little while break
of this kind is pretty sure to be forgot.

was all the greater compliment be
cause he had never been connected
with the committee before and had no
special familiarity with postal affairs.
He has made record already for eff
cheney which gives him a rank among
the real leaders of the house.
Overstreet is still young man. only
little over 40, but he is serving his
fifth term in congress and he is like
ly to serve good many more before
he gets through with politics.
In several recent campaigns he has
acted as secretary of the republican
congressional committee, so that he
knows the political end pretty we'll
and understands how to get along
with the level-headed statesmen whom
he runs up against in the course of his
legislative activities. He comes from
Indiana, which is a hotbed of politics
where some kind of political fighting
is going on from one years end to an
other. Babcock, of Wisconsin, has
been chairman of the congressional
committee for the last ten years. He
and Overstreet make an efficient pair.
At the beginning of every campaign
they have got together, solemnly
shaken hands and pledged themselves
not to have anything more to do with
the congressional committee. Then
the party leaders come at them and
they go back on their promises to each
other, take off their coats and settle
down to work as usual. This year
they got together in the same old way
and, after talking the matter over, de-
cided that they would not make any
rash pledges about the future.

The Iowa Battle With oleo.

In Iowa the battle with oleo has
been severe and long drawn out, Year
after year the sellers of oleo have
had to fight for existence in the state
courts, and the butter-makers have
been almost uniformly successful. The
dairy commissioners of Iowa have
been men that have not hesitated to
use the full power of their Office to
make the dealers in cleo conform to
the state law. The result has been
that in recent years very little oleo
has been sold in Iowa. Recently the
commissioner, II. r. Wright, has won
four cases, and an appeal for a new
trial in the last one has just been re-
fused, and a fine of 5000 imposed. The
last battle was won over the use Of
the word yellow" in the Iowa law,
the makers OF the cleo declaring that
their product could not he thus desiS'

erwise. The fact seems TO be that
the cleo in question was only slightly
yellower than is white butter as made
at this time of year. But the prac-
teal result was that it was difficult
for the buyers to tell it from winter
made butter.
