INDIVIDUALS WHO
 SHOULD EAT ALONE,

If people were dogs, then 1t would be permissible to snap and snari over their food or to eat in sullen silence; 1t would be permissible to cast a damper over the merry spirits of children at table and chill and check the tender sympa- | thy of their mother with their happy | mood. If people were dogs, it would be permissible for the biggest dog to grab the choicest bits for himself. not caring what becomes of the rest.
 People not being dogs, however, but
 human beings, supposedly civilized. the dinner hour should be for all the fam 1 fly the happiest, freest of the day. All unpleasant sights, sounds and ways ought to be banished like a pestilence | during that hour. Cleanliness, light refinement, joy and good temper should reign. If one talks let him tell merry or interesting events of the day. Let all wear clean garments and be neatly | groomed then, no matter what theiR work is. Cheerfulness, cleanliness and refinement at table promote long life and digestion.
 Long ago, in the gloomy age of as- ceticism, a notion somehow got started | that people must take their food in silence, perhaps to punish them for the sins they had committed just pre- vious to taking food. At any rate the frightfuI old notion got instilled Into the heads of numerous fathers of fami- lies In their own households they im- posed this frozen silence. Unhappily there are still found such fathers. They ought to be put into a cell to eat alone, instead of being permitted to shed dys- pepsIa upon all around them. Out with themi
 Again, if people were cats it would be permissible for them to lick their paws. as nature provided that cats should do. If the development theory be true, many persons have apparently brought the habit Of licking their paws. now transformed Into fingers, down the corridors of time from the period when they were cats. Ignoring the square of linen provided for civilized man to wipe his fingers on at table, these abominable creatures revert to the cat or monkey type while they feed and take away the appetite of any we'll bred person near them.
 Turn out the distressing person who licks his fingers at table! Provide stall for him with the old curmudgeon and joy killer and let them alike take nourishment in solitude.
 Then there Is the person who takes medicine at the table. Usually the nostrum is little pills. but frequently 1t is a quinine powder. In plain sight of all the world, sickening to his fellow man and not ashamed, is the medicine swallowing diner. The sensitive in- dividual who witnesses the dosing process rolls in his Inward parts with nausea but what cares the drug swaI- lower?

that organization, All I have to do is to present certificates showing my qualifications.
 Here Is the proposition in brief. Senator Burwell and his guests are convinced that our State may be kept in our political column, if no mistakes are made. and that our party will have the pleasure of selecting a successor to Senator Horton when his term ex. pires.
 Senator Burwell told me frankly that he was for me, not because he knows me very well, but for purely selfish reasons. By a little system of free masonry the parties have both agreed that geography shall figure in the se- lection of Senators from our State Burwell comes from the southern part of the State, and has forces so organ ized that he controls the machine in that section. The Tenth District Is in the northern section, and Burwell agrees that we are entitled to Sena- tor. There are several candidates in the southern part of the State, and 1T one of them is elected the northern sec tion will be hot for recognition when BurwelPs term expires, so he wants to head off that kind of light right now by taking a northern man.
 It is pleasant to find a man who IS so frank as Burwell in his selhshness. It appears that all will have to do to be listed as preferred stock in the Sena- torial race is to place myself-and my vote-in the hands of Senator Burwell and his friends. I am to be allowed to air my anti-monopoly views on the stump in the Tenth. and may even in clude them in my maiden speech, which am to make before long, but SO far as my vote Is concerned I am to be guided by the wishes of my new asso- ciates, the men who are to shape my political future, and who promise to make 1t highly attractive to me from a material point of view.
 It Is all a part of the system" Mary and the man who is in position to see the benefits that accrue from following the plan outlined to me must hesitate before turning it down. All of the talk during the dinner centered apparently in the desire to make the outlook roseate for me.
