Quorum in the Senate Was
Lacking Every Time Vote
Was Taken.

Washington, June 26.-Senator- LaF'ol-
lette made a determined effort In the
senate today TO secure consideration of the
bill limiting 10 sixteen hours the time
during which railroad employees connected

opposition manifested when the bin was
called up. and on a viva voce vote the
motion was declared lost. A rolicalI was
then ordered. The result was % to Is
one less than quorum A series Of quo
rum calls alternating with votes followed,

Measure Taken Up.

Finally enough votes were secured and
the motion to take up the bill was car
ried, IS to II. Senator McCumber spoke
il would be impracticable of application

part Of the country. He also criticised
the bill as imperfect
Senator Bailey supported the bill, but
said that in the interest of public safety
the limit of time of continuous work
shnuld be reducad to Twelve hours.

OF her everlasting affection by entrusting Cou Cou

Christmas is religious festival IN these countries
like Easter The children do not get presents
Present getting time for the little Scilian boys and
girls is All Souls Day which is the day following
Halloween When they wake up the morning
of that day the children scamper all over the house

places. Instead of Santa Claus, the children
think that the spirits Of their dead relatives usu-
ally the grandparents, have brought these pres
ents.
The French, who are half Latin and half Teu-
tonic in their makeup, mix the customs of both
races in their Christmas keeping. They build the
manger and they also give the children presents;
only, instead Of hanging up her stocking. little
French Babette puts out her shoes. The French
call the manger .creche. and in country villages
in France companies Of children still go from house
TO house on Christmas Eve, carrying the creche
and singing Christmas carols. Sometimes they
help TO build beautiful large creche in the village
church, over which they are very proud and de-
lighted.
