as hard for newspaper men as sena-
tors to follow, for it all occurred in a
few seconds. But it is the substance,
Senator c. L. Blease appeared to be
speaking in spirit Of pleasantly
but Senator Brown did not think so.
Senator c. L. Blease gained the
floor and continuing his speech said
that he was surprised his remarks
had been taken in a spirit of reAec-
ton but if reflection was taken that
he was responsible and would be at
any and all times. He was sorry that
that bill had been introduced at all.
He had meant no reflection on any
state officer.
"Small Politics.
Senator Brown hoped that he had
always appreciated the dignity at
tached to the senate and he thought
that when any complaints were to be
made they should be brought in
proper form. He had no interest in
the matter, and desired to treat the
senator from Newberry as he would
treat the senator from Anderson,
with all due respect and courtesy,
but he could not help making the
point of order under such reflection,
even charges. He thought the SEN
ate too august a body to NEEDLE
with such "small politics."
Senator G. L. Blease said he had
heard great deal Of senatorial cour-
tesy, but he did not propose to pay
any more attention to it than a grub
worm in the street, if it interfered
with his duty. He had alluded to the
solicitors in a spirit Of pleasantly
and was greatly surprised when the
senator whom he had always regard
ed as his friend, took exception.
Whenever he had any reflections to
make upon a man he made them to
his face.
The senate had regained it wonted
composure when Senator Eugene
Blease rose and said that he was sor-
ry that his bill had prodced such de-
bate. He spoke heartily and we'll for
it and proposed an amendment to it
which struck out the names of rel>-
tions mentioned and made it more
like the constitutional provisions.
The bill was killed by an aye and
nay vote on Senator Buffers motion.
The vote was as follows:

The second violinist handled his bow
mechanically and even listlessly. Once
or twice he so far forgot himself as to
draw the attention of the conductor,
who raped with his baton and glared
at the offending player

was tired, which was often the case,
the music that danced round his brain
was quite different from what he hap

the conductor came up to him.

he felt that he was holding himself in

street, and then, crossing to the main
thorougnfare, he struck into a similar
street on the other side. As he opened
the dingy door of his lodgings tall
man in a fur-lined overcOat passed.
A simple supper was laid out upon
his table, which he hardly touched.
The room was poorly furnished, though
comfortable and clean enough. Across
one corner stood a piano. His violin
anu piano were Jacks chief treasures
they represented possibilities which
kept hope alive in him. With their
aid he could conjure up visions far
more beautiful than anything which
reality could show him; they enabled
him to express himself-the inner self
which shrank from contact with the
world. lie drew ruled paper toward
him and began to cover it with those
symbols which sometimes mean so
much more than words.
But after a time the creative i'm
pulse left him, and he turned to an
almost completed portion of his work.
Parts he tried over on the piano, for
other parts he took up his violin, after
each trial altering a note here and
there. The time slipped on. Hardly
a sound reached him from the dwind-
ling traffic that passed the end of the
street.-The street itself was perfectly
still. With that silence there came
sudden impulse to him to play. Il
wonder whether l could manage that
sonata to-night?" he said, aloud.
He sat out. the music, tucked his
violin under his chin, and began to
play. The instrument throbbed under
his fingers with the acute sympathy
and consciousness which only vio-
linist can understand. He knew that
ne was playing finely, he knew that
the music was good, and he was the
maker of both. The thought filled

the human mind stands applied at the

While the discoveries above men,

Madison, Wis. February 22.-(Special.) The test case of Equitable Life Assur- ance society on behalf of the foreign in. stirance companies doing business in tho state of Wisconsin, has resulted in a signal victory through the decision hand- ed down by the supreme court of Wis consin, reversing the decision of the Dane county circuit court in favor of Commissioner Hest The question in- yolved the construction of section l9oc of the revised statutes, the commissioner maintaining that the word May" as used in. the statute should be construed as mandatory and that the deferred div idend policies was prohibited by the statute as thus construed.
 The supreme court holds that the stat ute is permissive. that the Equitable has not violated the law in issuing deferred dividend policies and that the latter form of policy, constituting 75 to 80 pe- cent of all the insurance written, Is val i'd and not in conflict with any provision of law. This marks the end of one If the most interesting and important cases in the insurance company in many years. The case was presented on be .. half of the society by J. c. Flanders, D. T.

Chicago, February 22.-washington's birthday was commemorated by exercises for the school children under the aus pices of the Union League club and by a meeting for the geenral public in Or chestra hall, which was crowded. The orator of the day was Henry S. Pritchett. of Boston, president of the Massachusetts institute of Technology His subject was Shall Politics Be a Profession or a Bu- siness?"
 He said in part:
 "If the problems of the state are the problems of the whole people, then he who sets himself to the study of these problems is a servant of the whole peo- pie and his profession is enc to be ex- alted-not brought into contempt to be respected as the noblest, not despised as the most unworthy Let us frankly de- cline to give high place to him whose political leadership depends on appeals to the emotions and who will not learn to discipline his own tongue and his own temper. That man who cannot discipline his own self, who cannot discuss questions without the sting of personal skepticism and bitter words Is unftted for the high profession of politics.
 'The American people, looking over the years when they have followed ineffi- cient leaders, through the wilderness of bloodshed and sectional strife, may well demand in the future a leadership which shall have courage honesty, moral pur- pose and, joined with all these. a ca pacity for clear thinking which. shall make the great qualities of the peoples champion"
