Of well-known senator's secretary.
An elderly lazy called at the sena-
tors Office and was greeted by the Sec
rotary. well, Mrs. Blank, what can
do for you! asked the young man in
his pleasantest way.
Mrs. Blank rather tartly told him to
notify the senator that she was there
and wanted TO speak to him on bust
ness.
Well will you please tell me the
nature OF the business?" inquired the
secretary.
mo, I will not discuss the matter
with you at all retorted the lady.
The secretary tried to explain that
1t was customary for those calling
upon the senator to state the nature
of their business to the secretary BY
this time the elderly lady had grown
impatient and indignant, and glazing
at the young man, said:
"You need not think that you are
the only tin can on the shelf"
This bit of slang from an old lady
rather upset the young man, but he re-
torted: mo, am only piece OF
scrap IRON" The lady left in huff
and has not been back to see the sena-
tor since.

In fact making all preparations for the
opening of congress as though he had
already been named the speaker Of the
house. In the minds OF the members
Of the house he Is speaker, as there is
not the slightest opposition to his re-
election and, taking that for granted
the members, new and old, are consult.
ing with him az to good places on com
mittees.
The ex-speaker and the speaker that
Is to be has come back to Washington
in more rugged health than one-half
the young members OF the house. He
was SO years old last May, but his
sturdy frame, clear eye and rudy
cheeks showing rich, healthy blood,
are those of a man not over so. He
swings through the capitol and along
the streets with an active, springy step
and, to use his own vernacular, he feels
as young as three-year-old and as fit
as fiddle" He walks from the cap
itof every day after several hours of
strain Id "jollying" and arguing with
members who want places. 1t Is two
miles from the capitol to his home
and he Is as fresh as q daisy when he
reaches the end of his walk. His in
variable companions on this tramp
home are his secretary, Mr.. Busbey,
and his parliamentary secretary, Mr..
Kinds.
Mr.. Cannon enjoys meeting the con-
gressmen. although he Is sometimes
puzzled to find desirable and appropria-
ate places for all of those deserving
such on the committees. He always
refers to them as "the boys" and they
seldom think Of calling him anything
else than Uncle joe" The real affec-
ton between Mr. Cannon and the
members OF the house OF all parties Is
the secret of his successful admins
tration OF his high office.

that citizen of that place had been
branded with the letter ID" because
he deserted from the army during the
civil war. Corporal Tanner says that
this story ought itself to be branded
with the big letter "F' as a fake Of
the first water.
mo officer" he says, would have
dared to do such thing as to brand
one of his soldiers with red-hot iron.
Furthermore such punishment was not
necessary, as the act Of desertion In
war time called for the most severe of
all punishments-death."
Corporal Tanners denouncing Of the
branding story as fake has called at
tention to other milder punishments
that obtained in the sixties, but which
are no longer allowed In either the reg
ular or volunteer armies. Among these
punishments was the wearing of
large placard inscribed Thief" which
was imposed on those who committed
larceny.
Another form Of punishment was the
drumming out of camp. This was gen.
orally administered to camp followers
not regularly attached to the army and
consisted In the drummers and ffers

forms of correction was running the

Wisdom's Whispers.

What woman says and what she thinks
are totally different propositions.
AS man advances in years he remem-
bers wildly the small happenings of the
past
1t pleases woman inmensel ly to tell her
she talks like a person Of intelligence.
When a man declares he is content it is
safe to assume he has captured all he could
reach.
To woman there is a sense of satisfac-
tion in knowing her new gown has excited
feeling of envy.
Men place little value in things which
come to them as compromise in contest.
Some women make life burden by the
effort to deceive themselves as to their ac-
complishments and social standing
The man who delights in love stories
usually takes the least stock in real life
love.
When woman finds herself in financial
straits she acts as though someone else
were to blame therefor.
A man who enjoys hard work usually
finds plenty Of it to do without much in
the way of labor.

Old Time Flour.
From the American Miller.

The young men who are operating the
improved roller mills of the present day are
often asked why it is that their -four does
not have the old time flavor when the -four
made by the burr millers of quarter of a
century or more ago had. 1t does not
have the sweetness or moisture in the bread
that was so noticeable in the old days.
Boys, allow your old uncle to tell you that
you can t make it with rolls They took the
place of the faithful old milestone in an
everlasting effort on the part of millers to
please the eye of the consumer by produc-
ing -four that would yield beautiful
white loaf; but they lost sight entirely of
the old time flavor and sweetness so pleas
ing to the palate which was characteristic
of burr -four.
Don t think that | am insinuating that
modern millers havn't the ability to make
just such flour as we old timers made pro-
viding they had the same machinery and
knew how to keep it in order as we did. OF
course you would have to learn this, for I
know the most of you are as sharp as tacks
and don t want to put the blame on you
at all. No, boys, do not imagine that we
old timers knew something that you would
never have been able to learn-not bit.
You don't have the machinery nor the
wheat that we did.
With the roller system came the ex-
change system of milling To the ex-
change system can be traced part Of the
responsibility for the loss of the old time
flavor The farmer realized that he would
not receive the flour from his own wheat
and this made him careless about raising
his grain. He soon learned to thresh it
out of the stack few days after cutting
instead of putting in the barn or stack that
it might go through the sweat and cure
perfectly Those who had handled wheat
that had been allowed to 90 through the
curing process in the NOW or stack can
testify to the sweet aroma it had. In the
old days when the old burr had been closed
over Sunday after weeks grinding, the
aroma that greeted us upon opening the
doors on Monday morning was such as
never to be forgotten by old time millers.
The same aroma is not in evidence in the
mills of today.
Then, too, with the burrs we ground
the germ to such an extent that a part of
it went through the cloth and was incor-
porated in the -four This accounts for
the bread being sweeter and holding moist
ure longer than that made from modern
| flour.
The present day miller fattens the germ
and scalps it off to feed just as rapidly as
possible,

The Worlds Human Butcher Bill.

Rev. Thomas B. Gregory in New York American.
Human beings have been killing one
another for such long time that neither
history nor the prehistoric monuments can
tell us when the bloody business began.
Therefore, in estimating the Human
Butcher Bill great many items will nee
essarily have to be left out.
In fact, it was not until times quite re-
cent that anything like an itemized account
of the cost of the business was even at
tempted.
About 300 years ago it began to occur
to the leading men in some of the nations
that it might be just as well to look little
bit into the matter Of the cost Of war, and
it is only about that date that figures begin.
1t appears, then, that within somewhat
less than three centuries England has spent
in the game of human slaug hter, in round
numbers, 81, 200, 100000
1t is estimated that the wars of the
Nineteenth Century cost the world very
near SIS, 900, 100000.
A crack mathematician has told us that
there are in century 3, l So, 673, 600 Sec
onds. Such being the case, it follows that
the world has paid out in the last 100 years
for war nearly Sc a second!
The combined Indebtedness of the lead
ING nations of the earth amount to about
s35, 900, 900, 900.
Most of this enormous sum is on account
of war, or the preparation for it.
But this is putting it far too mildly. If
the nations had been at peace during the
long time they were fighting each other
they would now have no debt, but, on the
other hand, an enormous surplus in their
treasures.
As it is, Great Britain, France and Ger
many are spending annually in interest on
their debts nearly $500, 1000, 900, to say
nothing of the yearly appropriations for the
mighty armaments under which they groan.
These appropriations amount for En-
gland, $3.50, 900, 600; for France, $780,
900, 900; for Germany, s217, 900, 600.
E ven the United States of America,
with no "entangling alliances" pays, in
round numbers, 5000, 900, 900 year to
keep itself in trim for killing human beings.
The poet Shelly somewhere says that the
time is coming when Humanity will ''look
back and shudder at its younger years. y
There is no doubt of it-and it seems to
many of us as though the time for the
''shuddering'' to begin had already ar
rived.
All honor to Norway and Sweden for
having demonstrated to men the fact that
war can be avoided, and that, because it
is a senseless and brutal thing, it should
be, and shall be, avoided!
