SHORT, SHARP AND SNAPPY.

The President and the Senate are at
loggerheads and there is no possibility
of a reconciliation. Both branches of
the treaty making power or the agree
ment making power have agreed to
disagree. The arbitration treaties, as
understood by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hay would give the
President the power to conclude with
out the ratification of the Senate, ga
special agreement with the contracting
foreign power" 1t was proposed that
the Senate should in these original
treaties agree to the reference of GER
tain international disputes to the Court
of Arbitration at the Hague, and leave
it to the Executive to determine details.
The Senate by a majority of fifty to
nine looks upon this proposition as an
entrenchment upon it's constitutional
rights. 1t looks upon all agreements
with foreign power as treaty to
which the declared assent of the Senate
is necessary. 1t was not the object oi
the President to infringe upon the
right or power of the Senate, but he
wished to hasten the submission to
arbitration of a limited class of disputes
and thus relieve them of the red tape
which always envelopes treaties. The
President with his characteristic
strenuousness attempted short cut
and failed. The deliberative Senate
thinks it unwise, unsafe, undignified
unsenatorial to favor strenuousness.

A new trade mark law has bee
enacted by the present Congress and
will become operative on April the first
1905. Under the provisions of this law
a person who has used trade mark in
interstate commerce can have the same
registered by complying with the con-
ditions of the law and paying govern
ment fee of ten dollars, provided the
same trade mark has not been used on
similar class of goods by another per-
son, firm or cerporation. A trade
mark is really patent, emitting the
owner of the mark to its exclusive use.
Some trade marks are of great value,
and they are used both in the United
States and in foreign countries fol
identifying specialties which could not
be recognized without them. Trade
marks are or may be used with every
salable commodity and for nearly every
thing that can be thought of in thu
mineral, vegetable and animal king
doms.

pentance comes too late and the anfoi- de dies against his will. When a -pis- tol Is employed and correctly used there is no chance for reconsideration of the act. The same can be said of poisons, although I have known of a number of cases where, after the poison has been taken. the person repents and calls for help. Those suicides who have adopted drowning as the method of self destruction always interested me. and have studied out the matter. I make 1t point always to ask. when covering one of these cases, whether or not the suicide has called for help af- ter striking the water. In nine out of ten cases 1t was reported that he had. Hanging, when correctly employ ed. is fatally effective. After a man has adjusted the strap or rope and kicked the chair from beneath him there is absolutely no chance on earth for him to reconsider. Of course. couldn't say positively whether these dead men have had regrets upon feel- ing the moose tighten about their necks but believe that in good many cases they have. However, there is no re- course for them, and death is the re- suit. Suicides have always interested me. and l look at them with something of awe"

After closely studying the prop osition, have found that in a ma jority of the cases where drowning was employed the suicide has repented almost as soon as he struck the water. There can be but one explanation of this. and that is that the cold water, or the contract with 1t. restores the reason of the one seeking self -destruc- ton. and he immediately repents.

 The other monkey, Bill Bailey, did not seem to care in the least about his relatives trouble. When the terriers were barking with joy at Doliy's cage he took terrier pup about three weeks old in his arms and nursed 1t in the drollest, kindllest and most old-fash- toned way. The ponies of this happy little family also seemed glad to see Dolly, but the bears were quite outside the circle. They shook their heads in disgust at the interest taken in a sick monkey.
 One Of the yardmen wraps his coat about Dolly twice each day and carries her across the road to Charing Cross Hospital where she is seen and pre- scribed for by the resident doctors. With the help of their attention she is expected to be well again soon, and to join her little and big friends. the dogs and ponies, that together make up the happiest circus family imaginable.
 Innumerable inquiries were made at the hospital and at the Coliseum as to the patients condition, and plums. nuts, sweets, hard boiled eggs and other dainties were offered as treats for the animal

 They all take the greatest interest in |the invalid, and are never tired of |gazing at her as she sits in her cage |With a cotton wool bandage around her |body and her arm tied up.

Jerry Simpson's Joke On Cannon Ina,
 hPleased Tom Reed.


 hPleased Tom Reed.
 There kwere several old fellows in Congress I used to like to get a joke on." said Jerry Simpson to a Pittsburg Gazette man few weeks before his death, "and one of these was Cannon, of Illinois. I had made an anti-ex- pansion speech, and Cannon got up and said that if I had made that speech in Manila I would have been tried by a drumhead court-martial and shot. When he had finished I got up and said would just as soon be shot in Manila for making speech of that kind as to be shot in Congress by an old. smoothbore. brass Cannon from Illinois.
 Tom Reed enjoyed that very much, and he shook all over with suppressed laughter. He came up to me after ward and said: That was all right, Jerry. forgive you lot of things for that"

Bishop McCabe relates the following story, according to The Northwest Christian Advocate:
 once upon time I was in rail- road accident It was one of the only two I have ever experienced. and have travelled more than 75O,0O0 miles on trains and steamers, three times as far as from here to the moon.
 "A broken wheel threw the train off the track The car I was in was shattered very much. Seated just ahead of me was an elderly woman who was suffering from rheumatism. If was necessary to change cars. I helped her off the car, carried her yalise and gave her the support of my arm. Behind us came noble looking EnglishwOman, with her hus- band by her side.
 she was scolding him well for starting on his journey on Friday. I fold you James, she said, that some- thing would happen if we should start on Friday Columbus set sail to discover America on Friday?

Indeed, so much and so often did he express pleasure that, when he had returned to London, the Philadel phian sent him a barrel of the finest Cape Cod cranberries. A month or so passed and then there came a letter of acknowledgement from the Briton.
