The INGALLS, Statue.

The crowning honor which the people
Of any state can pay to one of its citi-
zens is to place his ef5gy in Statuary
hall, the great American Valhalla- Yet,
sad to say. there are perhaps more in
artistic statues therein than were ever
congregated anywhere else 1t is said
that one of the best, most lifelike, is
that Of the late Senator John James
ingalls, of Kansas. It is an open secret
that one reason of its excellence is that
the senator's son Ralph, who much re-
senbles his illustrious father in stature,
build. etc. posed for the statue, dressed
in suit of his fathers clothes. includ-
ing even the overcoat. This was GER
tainly Il happy thought on the part Of
the artist, and he has his ample re
ward in the universal and unstinted
praise which his work has elected.

The Washington Post recently con
tanned this thrilling news item:
Representative Cooper of Texas was
caught in the senate chamber Yesterday
when an executive session had begun He
took promptly to his heels but found door
after door securely fastened. Finally
after he had furnished senators no little
merriment a way out WAS found and the
Texan betook himself to his own end of
the capitol
No doubt a great many persons who
read that laughed at Mr.. Cooper's pre-
dicament. but the secret sessions of the
senate have long since ceased to be
subjects for mirth. They arouse a feel
ing of disgust That sensible men
should enact week after week the pitt
fnl farce of going into secret session
for the purpose of considering the nom-
nation of some man to be postmaster
at $1,000 per annum is preposterous
and furnishes another illustration of
the Wis inertiae Of the human mind.
Mr.. Cooper is Il fine man. prominent
member of the house ways and means

icler. he afforded mo little merriment
to senators. Z If they had had as much
regard for their reputation for brains
as they had for senatorial tradition
there would have been no occasion for
Cooper TO take to his heels. Self re-
spcct ought to cause the senators to
abolish secret sessions except in those
care cases where matters of gravest in
ternational import are to be discussed,
for everybody knows that the ordinary
secret sessions, SO called. are not secret
sessions at all for some senator, anx-
ious to stand in with the reporters, is
always ready to give away the ..se-
crets7 (?l as soon as the session ad-
journs. SO they ought to be abolished
because they ought not to be secret and
because they are not secret.

The Deficit.

The Washington Star thus comments
on the treasury situation:
The treasury receipts and expenditures
for the seven months of the fiscal year
ended today show total receipts of s32l,-
060,l3S and expenditures of $349 CSC, 445. max
ing a deficit of $2S.596.3 O7 for the year so
far. At the same time in the last fiscal
year the total receipts were 1913, AIS. S43 and
the expenditures $317, S5l, 500 a surplus of
1854 "a
1t is the unanimous opinion of the Off
Gals Of the treasury that from now on
the treasury will make a better showing
and that the receipts will probably exceed
the expenditures the remainder of the
year by at least $l0,oo000o. which would
make the deficit for the year close to the
estimate of Secretary Shaw-$1S 100000
For the month closed today the total re-
ceipts were $43. 40. 2s5 and the expenditures
S49, 627 900, making a deficit for the month
of s6216,714 For the same month of the
last fiscal year the total receipts were
$41.5SS.s79 and the expenditures SIS, 100000.
a deficit of $6.S51 500.

Marcus Aurelius Smith, who in the
next congress will once more appear
as the delegate from Arizona. holds the
belt for length of service as delegate.
He leads queer life He comes to
congress till he is in need of funds. He
then retires to recoup his financial
fortunes in the practice Of law Hav-
ing accomplished that, he returns to
congress. He is a sort of Intermittent
delegate The fact that he quits con-
gress when he pleases and returns
when he pleases is proof positive of
his popularity in his own bailiwick.
My interest in Mark is augmented by
the fact that away back in 1867 at
Kentucky university he and | together

If the spirits Of departed statesmen
take any interest in the affairs of this
mundane sphere, then that of the late
Senator George Frisbie Hoar must
have reveIed in bliss when Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge unloaded stanza
of Grecian verse on the senate in his
funeral Grafton. OF course the senators
knew no more about it than they would
have known if he had quoted Choctaw.
However. to conceal their ignorance,
they professed to like it. Senator Lodge
was kind enough to furnish 4 transla
ton, which was somewhat in the nature
of adding insult to injury.

On the Rioht Track.

Senator Bailey of Texas has intro
duced a resolution to submit a consti-
tufional amendment extending the
presidential term to six years and max
ing the incumbent forever ineligible to
reelection. even where he serves only
part of the term. This is entirely cor
rect. and every day more people are
becoming III favor of it. There never
have been but two men in the White
House who didn't spend their first
term largely in trying to secure a
second term. Those were George
Washington. who didn't ISlnt the first
term. and Hayes. who was never elect
ed at all. Washington didn't want the
second term and Hayes knew he
couldn't get it. Human nature has not
changed any in the century. President
Roosevelt said very frankly that he
wanted to be elected. and the people
took him at his word Unless an
amendment like Bailey's is adopted
the presidents for the next thousand
years will be spending their time
hustling for reelection.

casion. He stopped, listened till the

RIGHT WAY TO COOK RICE
Southern Woman Tells How It Is
Done to Produce the Best
Results,

we overheard q conversation the
other day betWeenza southern matron:
and a northern housewife. They were
talking about rice. The woman from
the south lived on a rice plantation.
Her husband owned large rice fields and
marketed large quantities of rice every
year, says Medical Talk for the Home.
The northern woman was saying that
rice was not so very much used in the
north, that she didn't believe her family
used dollars worth in a year. 1--WE
don't care much for it," she said, "and
only have it on our table occasionally"
But said the southern woman.
you northern people don t know how to
cook rice. That is the reason so little
Of it is used. Why we have it on our
table every day. 1t has become almost
as much an article of diet with us as
with the Chinese.
Ihe mistake so many people make
in cooking rice" she went on to say, SIS
that they put it on in a lot of water and
cook it and cook it, stirring it all the
timc. until it is just a pasty, starchy.
unpalatable mess. / don't wonder that
people don't like rice when it is cooked
IN this manner. The Chinaman himself
wouldn't eat such dish.''
But how do you cook it," asked the
northern matron. For my part. have
always thought the proper way to cook
rice was to put it on in boiling water,
and cook it furiously for half hour or
more, stirring it every now and then to
keep it from sticking"
Ihere is just the trouble, as l have
said, all in the cooking. Now the way
we southerners cook rice is to wash it
nice and clean, drop it into a kettle of
boiling water and then set the kettle on
the back of the stove over low fire.
and let the rice simmer very slowly I'M
til it is done. Never, never stir it.
When it is thoroughly cooked each
kernel will stand apart by itself, plump
and whole. If there is any water left on
it drain it off carefully and let it stand
IN a hot place for little while. Don't
mix milk or sugar or salt or butter or
anything else in it while it is cooking.
These can be added afterward, as pre-
ferred. When the northern people
learn to cook rice properly they will
relish it just as much as we of the south
DO. 1t all depends on how it is cooked"

A SONG OF KINDRED,

Hark! how the strong seas shout
To the pines on the mountainside:
"Sing. brothers. sing! for the winds are
out
And the path Of their flight is wtdel
We leap, at flood Of the tide,
TO tho base Of your rooted rock.
Feel you the thrill as the deep caves fill?
Hear you the breakers shock?
Hail, brothers, hail!
Send your song on the western gale.
Loud is the wind in every tree
But you alone can voice the tone
OF the full-throated sea.
From you alone can our echoes ring.
Sing. brothers, singh
Hark! how the great pines cry
From the inland forest places,
Sending the mountain-land's reply
Out to the wild sea-spaces.
Where the mad wave swells and races
Under the tde-wnd's hand.
HAIL. all hail! We swing to the gale,
And shril! to your brave command.
Rock, rock, and chime!
Back we fling your iterant rime
In rush of harmony!

But we alone can harp the tone
Of the deep breasted sea.
From US alone can your echoes fall!

TOMMY AND HIS RABBIT.
Like the Grounding for the Minister
the Poor Bunny Was
Necessity.

A very proud boy was one recently
when he asked his teacher in one of
the East side public schools tc spend
the hours after afternoon closing time
at his home and take dinner with him.
He was a bright student and a pre-
possessing little chap, and the teacher,
who had strong liking for him, &C.
cepted the invitation alike for his
pleasure and her own. She found, how
ever, relates the New York Tribune,
when she reached his abode that her
pupil had taken the duties of a
host on his shoulders without inform
ing his parents of the intention, and
while the greeting of the mother was
most cordial, it was plainly per-
turbed. Tommy was telling his teacher
about the tricks of his pet rabbit when
his mother called him. He was absent
some time, and when he returned there
were tears in his eyes. The teacher
refrained from questions that would
have started a fresh food, and main
tanned a one-sided conversation with
him until the mother announced that
supper was ready. There were tears
in her eyes, too, and mother and son,
when they seated themselves at the
table, looked at each other and burst out
crying. The mother begged pardon.
telling the teacher something had hap
pened, not of serious import but
enough to upset them for the time be-
ing. The teacher wondered how the
family could afford to provide the dish
of which she partook, and noticed that
he mother and son ate none of it. AS
she rose from the table she said: "Now,
Tommy. you must show me your pet
rabbit. Perhaps I'll want to take him
home with me-" "You WILL" blurted
out Tommy, in g'ulping sob, you
will take him home with you. You've
jlst eaten him up
