THEY DON'T PLAY POKER.
Statesmen at the Nations Capital
Take No Part in the
Card Game.

It was formerly quite the thing to
tell stories about big poker games
among the members of congress. Much
was said about the Senatorial game"
"millionaires' game and the con
gressional game" and always We heard
about great punches of money chang
ing hands, bluffs as high as the banks
of the Mississippi, and all sorts OF
stories.
frequently, says the Washington
Post, the senator, representative, dip
lomat or rich man was named, and the
winnings or losses told with as much
gusto as if they had really happened.
There were some pleasant poker games
in days gone by, and occasionally some
wonderful plays, but one night, with
few interesting incidents, furnished
material for a month of stories.
Some of those who figured in the
poker stories became annoyed at the
notoriety they gained and abandoned
poker entirely. For many years now
there has not been enough poker in the
capital to hang a story on.

Not So verv Spanish


In the course OF speech declaiming
against the admission of New Mexico
to statehood Senator Spooner dramat.
ically held aloft a paper containing
a list of municipal officeholders in a
city Of that territory. He declared:
ut reads like the muster roll of a
Spanish military company" Senator
Cullom suggested that Mr.. Spooner
read some of the names, but the latter
tossed the paper aside disdainfully,
saying: Il cannot read Spanish" SEN
ator Foraker, who favored admission,
picked up the paper and after glancing
at the names, said: with the SEN
ator's permission will read them.
Here are few of the names: Thomas
Smith, William johnson, James G..

DoDo IN NATIONAL MUSEUM
Perfect Skeleton of the Extinct Bird
Has Been Placed on Ex-
hibition.

The national museum has acquired a
dodO. The curators have been casting
about for new material to exhibit at the
Lewis and Clark exposition, at Port
land, Ore, next June Their time being
limited, they are obliged to move as
swiftly as possible. in order to get to-
gether an adequate display by the ap-
pointed time. Orders have been placed
with the great London and Paris houses
for geological, anthropological and PALE
theological rarities, as result of which
the museum had an offer recently Of a
complete and perfect skeleton of that ex-
tinct bird, the dodo, formerly native of
Reunion and the lie de France, in the In
dian ocean, which was at once accepted.
The dodo, or rather his handsomely
mounted and very complete skeleton, ar
rived Monday, and is now the chief ornar
ment on DR.. True's Office mantelpiece.
The dodo was aspecies of giant pigeon
which inhabited the islands aforesaid in
the days before Columbus, Magellan. De
Cana, Marco Polo, and other great ex-
plorers. Having no enemies with which
to contend, the bird had degenerated, un-
til by the time the whites arrived it had
lost both the power OF flight and defense.
and soon fell prey to the white man and
his gun. as we'll as to his cats, dogs and
pigs, which were early introduced in the
lie de France to the destruction of the
native fauna.

SUPERIOR TO SOCIAL s4JLE
Senator Who Failed to Recognize the
Necessity Of Well-Estab-
lished Usages.

The divinity that doth hedge about a
senator is an attribute of great value in
Washington. Elevators change their
courses, go up or down, stop, or continue
in their flight as the senatorial within die
tates. Even in their social relations they
the not expected to conform to the US
ages that bind lesser mortals. A curious
instance of the privileges they are given
and their attitude toward them is going
the rounds of late, says Washington
letter in New York Post.
The wife of a prominent officer gave q
dinner party toa dignitary the other
night and invited among others we'll
known senator. On the evening of the
party all of the guests had assembled at
the dinner hour except the senator. They
waited half an hour while the soup grew
cold. Finally when her guests began to
fldget at the delay the hostess went to
the phone and called up the senator's
hotel
The senator is at dinner and cannot
be disturbed" was the astonishing mes
sage that she received. When she in
sisted on speaking to him the private
secretary of the great man came to the
phone. Tell him it is Mrs. Blank" said
the hostess. After an interval the secre-
tary returned:
The senator says he does not know
you and wants to know what you want
to talk to him about
Tell him that l am Mrs. Blank, the
wife OF Gen. Blank. The senator has an
engagement to dine at my house tonight
and we are waiting for him. want to
know why he does not come"
Another long pause The secretary's
voice over the phone again, semiapolo-
getic and ready to open negotiations
looking to overtures of peace: 1.-The SEN
ator thinks there must be some mistake.
He says that the dinner is for toll morrow
night. Isn't it?''
mo; the dinner is tonight" said the
now exasperated hostess. Il wrote the
senator only yesterday to remind him
of his engagement
Another mumbled conference at the
senator's end of the wire. and then the
secretary's hesitating voice: Eyes, the
senator has received your note, but he
thought that you would write him fur
Their on the subject before any definite
action was taken.''
Mrs. Blank has no ready defense
against this official phrase and surren-
dered at discretion, only asking that the
senator would hurry to keep his appoint
ment. He arrived unabashed an hour
late, and seemingly unconscious that any
blame should be attached to him for
keeping the other dinner guests and his
hostess waiting long after the dinner
hour.

Iowa Good Enough.

Senator Allison was observing the
fnclemency weather conditions in
Washington, shivering the while as he
thought Of the frigid temperature at
his Dubuque home. Senator Perkins,
OF California, remarked: 1T looks
much nicer out in my state. There
we have balmy climate, all the sun
shine one wants and a profusion of
flowers" Eyes, that's very nice when
the thermometer keeps below zero out
in Iowa" replied Mr.. Allison. Come
out to California and live with us"
added Mr.. Perkins, with more alluring
description. I've will elect you a sem
ator for life" What, and leave
Iowa." said Mr.. Allison with unwont-
ed animation. Not for any other
state in the Union"

WORTHY or RUFUS cHoATE
Senator Bacon's "Sesquipedality''
Never Excelled in Congress
sional History.

To Senator Beacon of Georgia is as
marvellous sentence ever emitted in de-
bate in the senate. 1t was when the ag-
ricultural bill was up. Bacon reeled this
combination Of words off when discus
sing the strip question. 1t is asserted
that no man can parse the sentence and
that only Bacon could have emitted it
without falling by the wayside. Read:
THE senator will probably remember
that last year when this matter was be-
fore the senate we had some little COLO
guy about it and tried to explain to the
senate that the purpose of this appropri-
alton was to endeavor by experiments
on the part of the government to deter
mine upon process which, when gen.
orally used, would result in such uni
formity of production as would enable
the article to become an article of gen
eral merchandise, or, rather, generally
marketable, explaining, as did, all the
time, that while this strip had been made
for century all through that part of the
country, and successfully, it was made
simply by farmers for their own use ana
for little local consumption, SO that al
most as many different processes were
used and as many different producers;
that in consequence when an article of
the kind was put upon the market no.
body knew what that particular article
was without sampling it, and it was the
design of the department to establish a
plant by which a regular standard pro-
cess should be inaugurated and so gen.
orally become known throughout the
country that it would be generally adopt
ed and the product would be of uniform
character"
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1905-05-06

We want 10 cents because no ma
terial raised can compare with 1t at
that price. At that price the South has
an absolute monopoly, and the rea-
son why the price is not controlled is
because the producers have no system
il marketing it. It is Of vast import
ance that this should be changed.
The foreigners call the cotton pro-
ducers of the South brafnless fools be
cause they have a monopoly and do
not know how to profit by it. The
farmers Of the Northwest control the
price OF wheat and corn by intelligent
cooperation, but the planters OF the
south sell at the price PIT by others
upon their products.
The object of the New Orleans meet
ing was to find remedy for serious
nroblems. In December, 1904, it was
found that more 81 the staple had
heen produced than the world needed,
and the fact was used to depress the
price below cost Of production. Twelve
months ago cotton was 18 cents Per
mound. and in that time the price has
dropped to six cents. It is necessary
that we should, by organization, pre-
vent such conditions in the future
The world requires eleven and Q hall
million bales. The surplus OF two
million must be carried over, and in
1905 we should produce nine million
bales, which would mean success.
