 The Daughters of the American Rev olution secured national charter in 1896 which provides that it shall make a report to the secretary of the Smith sonian institution, and that the sec- retary shall communicate to congress such portions of the report as may be of national interest. So far the secre- ts-y has assumed that the voluminous annual reports of this society are all of national interest, and they have bean sent bodily to congress- and print ca st publ> expense. A review Of the report makes i. diGc1it to understand what national i4terest there ean be in the major part of such ( document.
 Speaker Cannon, with this expensive report in view. has Of late years per sIstently opposed the granting of na- tional charters to any society unless the sct contained a provision specific ally declaring that the organization shall tn no manner whatever become a chs-ge upon the Unitsd States treas ury.

Where Seemingly Impossible Things Were Done and Little
 Thought Of.

We left Pearson's rancho in Mon- tana about eight miles behind us, when we came to where a man was hang ing to the limb of tree, and there was a cowboy on horseback not far away, relates writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The stage driver pulled in his horses when we all had a look, and then he beckoned to the cowboy and asked:
 Has there been a lynching here?' < Cant say as there has," was the reply.
 But feller is hanging there to the limb of tree"
 That's true, and I've been puzzling ever it. It seems purity plain that he was drawed up to that limb. don't it 2"
 "She do. Yes. sir, it seems plain that he was drawed up to that limb, and then the free end of the rope made fast"
 And that's what I'm puzzling about" said the cowboy.

Wilson is one of the conspicuous yic- tins Of the persistent social gossips. Mir. Wilson lost his wife some 13 years ago, and it is doubtful if he has ever given single thought to a remarriage. This does not prevent the periodical appearance of the newspaper para graph stating that the secretary Is about to marry lady who is various ly described as school teacher in his own state of Iowa, a middle-aged clerk in his department, or a charming wid- ow in society.
 MT. Wilson has long since given up the idea of expressing this sort of gossip, and has resigned himself to the fate of being talked about no matter how distasteful it is. The fact is, the secretary is too busy with the affairs of his department and his mind is so engrossed with plans for the advance ment of agriculture and the betterment of the condition of farmers, that he has little or no time to give to the lighter and more personal affairs of life. He is more diligent in seeking an. effective enemy of the boil weevil or in the inoculation of sails to make them more productive than he is in the fair sex or in the quest of wife. |,
 Attorney General Moody, the bache- Tor member of the presidents cabinet, is another target for Dame Rumor's shafts. MT. Moody has been too busy all his life building up reputation in the law to give much thought to seek ing a partner for life. The accommo- dating social gossips of the city, how- ever, have settled his fate for him, if they are to be believed, and have him engaged to marry charming widow in Boston, who is conducting a very prosperous millinery establishment. They declare that the lady, highly edu-i cated and charming as she Is, cares nothing for society, and is particularly indifferent to official society, and therefore has declined to become Mrs. Moody as long as MT. Moody remains in the government service. When he retires, however, it Is declared that one of his first moves will be to take the Boston widow into partnership for life and then enter upon the practice of law at the Hub.

 The low temperature of the waters weather interfered with spawning and then the fishing season opened with tremendous onslaughts by fishermen. Nr. Bowers reports that instead of taking hundreds of millions of shad eggs. as the commission has been able b do in past years, the government will be lucky to obtain 4o,000,0oo eggs .khis year.
 Only dwellers along the Atlantic Boast appreciate to the full this splen- Sid fish. The season begins early in Florida and works up along the coast, sreaching its height when the Susque- hanna and Delaware rivers are reached The first shad in the market ,ls . sure harblnger of spring, and is welcomed as joyfully as the spring Towers in the hills With the coming of warm days the shad leave their winter haunts and seek the waters of the bays and rivers.

When the fish is cooked to turn it is served in the open air on table on the plank on which it is cooked. Accompanying it are fresh spring vege- tables, particularly the luscious onion, and with platter of hoe cakes, the latter the genuine southern article, cooked on plank in front of the same fire as was the fish, and the rare, deli cious but simple combination of water ground corn meal and water spread thin upon hot plank.
