had made a house TO house canvass
of the town and they found a crying
need for more poultry. They in
tended to put a stop TO the crying

chickens and they had sent their
Answering telling them they were
not the least bit chicken hearted if
they were in the poultry business.
Gen. Clayton became very enlhusi-
astic in speaking OF his poultry en-.
terprise and vowed that the minis
try was suffering greatly on account
OF the scarcity Of chickens. He
grew very earnest when he declared
that it would be an incentive to
young men and old maids to en-
brace the ministry when they dis
cover that the poultry supply is
equal to the demand. With the
proper encouragement he thinks he
can propagate the christian spirit
throughout the community with old
speck and alleviate the suffering OF
the piemen. If he can do this
will be compelled to enlist in his
army. In soldering in the sixties l
was taught the lesson that army life
was cold and dreary without chick
ems roosting close by.

Clayton and Jackson | hunted up
Gen. Brown and Leader Shaw. /
found them in the Leader office
writing a proclamation against old
speck. They told me in vigorous
language, which by long usage they
have become proficient in, that they
had hoped that Boss Bill Dawson's
tax bill had crippled old speck so
badly that she wouh not be able to-
fly over the fence and worry them
until they would forget the teachings
OF the Sunday school, which had
such great attraction for them
just before Christmas, when in their
childhood simplicity Santa Claus
had more influence over them than
any political Boss since they grew
to manhood and began to reach out
for the tail board Of the pic wagon.

Clayton and Jackson had ordered
one hundred incubators TO give an
impetus TO the chicken Industry.

feathers flying IN all directions.
Both Gen. Brown and Leader Shaw
grew demostrative at this informa-
tion and boldly declared that they
would not leave tail feather in the
first brood that emerged from the

No one who knew Senator "Steve'
Elkins, or his history or antece-
dents, could imagine, at the time.
how it was that he was the author of
law which seemed 10 impose addi-
uonal restraint on the railways Of
the country and TO make more diff
cult the granting of those rebates
which have always served to destroy
competition and create trusts. Now
Mr.. Elkins' purpose becomes ap-
parent, and Democrats in Congress
assert with much show OF reason
that the same experience will be
had with every law passed by the
Republican majority and which, on
its face, seems to carry out reforms.
SIS
The opinion is general in Con
gress that the Panama Canal Com
mission has proven failure. Gen.
Davis, a member of the Commission.
made SO much trouble as Governor
OF the Canal Zone that it became
necessary TO send Minister to
Panama to attempt to straighten out
the difficulties, and even he was
powcrless against the autocralic and
didactic methods Of the Military
Governor who ruled the Zone as a
military camp. Finally it became
necessary to send the Secretary Of
War all the way to Panama to set
tie the differences which had re-
suited. Now 1t seems probable that
the Panama Commission will be re-
duced in membership to three en-
gineers, who have charge OF the
constructive work and that the civil
government will be confdcd to the
President.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
President Roosevelt is Determined

SresS If He Has 10 Call
An Extra SeSriOn.
From our regular corresponden,

convened after the holiday recess
by permitting it to become known
that he was seriously contemplating
calling Congress in special session
next June. Senators and Represen-
tatives rushed to the White House
to inquire if such plan was Sc
riously contemplated by the Presi-
dent, only to learn that i, was, and
then they gathered in cloak rooms
and comuaittee rooms 20 discuss the
situation. Nothing would be more
unwelcomc TO the average member
of Congress than to be called to
Washington just at The beginning Of
the heated term, anG at a time when
most of them are planning vacations
and pleasure iounts, but they re-
ceived no comfort from the Presi
dent, who expressed himself dis
gusted with the disposition Of Con.
gress TO procrastina,c with regard to
needed legislation and to make an
excuse OF the fact that this is short
session 10 do nothing. The Presi
dent was even unkud enough TO
suggest that hot weather might prove
on incentive to expeditions work,
and that TIME aud expense might be
saved the country by keeping the
refractory Congressman "in after
school, " SO TO speak
SIS
1t is not likely that The President
will call special session for June
1, but it seems probable lha, before
abandoning the idea Le will have
secured pledges thar ,hc legislative
reforms on winch he is insisting

sion to be called The FIRST Of Noyem-
