The conference report on the state hood bill will be taken up in the Uni- ted States Senate on Tuesday and much interest is felt in the subject. The re- port will probably be called Up by Sem ator Beveridge, in charge of the report, but Senator Foraker has given notice that if the friends of the report do not move in that direction, he will do so. No opposition to consideration is anuci- pated. but there is prospect of animated discussion of the report on it's merits and undoubtedly considerable time will be re- quired for the determination of the ques- ton. Senator Foraker will lead a fight to prevent agreeing to the committees report,
 The business of the week will begin Monday with the presentation of the ma jority reports of the committee on priv ileges and elections in the case of Sen ator Shoot, but the further consideration of that measure will be deferred for a time and the Senate will continue the consideration of the appropriation bills. Only one of these, the diplomatic ap- propriation bill is now ready for consid- ation It will be taken up Monday and as soon as other supply bills are ready, they will be placed before the Senate.

the wonder Is where the office boys come from They bring certificates Of some sort from their teachers. but Every big concern has a procession of boys trooping through it's offices and works. day after day. But the boys, for the most part. are obstinate and incompetent. When a bright boy appears he finds his opportunity quickly enough, and if he has staying powers he will get on, But the majority of youngsters that apply fQE jobs have no manners, they cant spell, and they are always watching the clock. They don't know whether San Francisco is in Cuba or the Philippines, or when Los Angeles is in Spain or the Sandwich islands. and discrimination in the matter of foreign postage is beyond them. Discipline they object to. and they abhor taking orders. When 1t comes to that the average young American of today does not take orders easily. He seems to suspect some hideous design up- on his freedom and equality. After all, rudimentary information in geography, orthography, the wearing of hats and the omission of coats in offices. and eer-. tain glimmerlngs Of politeness are not without importance In business. The aver age applicant for office-boydom has no notion of responsibility He will take job today and abandon 1t tomorrow, on any pretxet, or on none at all.
 But in capacity for vexation the average stenographer can give him points Most stenographers are good laundresses or baseball pitchers spoiled. Polysyllables try their souls the uncommon word fud- dles their keys; language is, in their minds. device by which intelligent com munication can be prevented. and ini- tiative is a term without meaning. They believe that punctuation is given only to the gods for they themselves know noth- ing of it. On the other hand, really cap able stenographers are among the most helpful equipments of a business office, but their rarity is beyond belief.

SHOOTING IT OUT"
How Big BillD Lost Ills Nerve at the
 Scratch.

Franklin Hawley in May Field and
 Stream.
 After supper we adjourned to the bunk house, where we all slept, and the men betook themselves to several occupations. One man darned his socks, with many a damn, another braided quirt Ca short, heavy riding whip, third played execra- ble jigs on a fiddle, few played seven up, and over in the corner Red" McCarty and Big Bill' played game of freeze out, which ended in a furious quarrel when Red won the two dollars.
 The other men separated the combatants at once, for Big Bill had little Red by the throat
 You big coward, you dassent shoot it out with me-" snarled Red.
 "Nother lle," answered Bill.
 "When?"
 '"Tomorrow mornin' after breakfast"
 That's O. K," said Red, and we all went to bed.
 The next morning at breakfast, Red was especially gay and careless, but Bill was pale and glum. When the meal was finished, the foreman took the matter in hand.
 Boys" said he. q will place the men in front of the cook house, at corners with their backs to each other. When I give the word, they can run behind the shack and meet. The rest of you fellows get up on the bunk house roof, where you can see, but no interfering. I will shoot the first man that draws a gum
 When all were thus disposed the fore man said:
 Boys, are you both ready?"
 They both nodded assent.
 ''Then go to it!'
 Red ran to the back of the house and stood there moment, expectantly await ing his adversary, then ran the length of the building and around the end, where he discovered Bill running with all speed toward the woods. His nerve had failed him, as Frank had predicted to me that it would. Red raised his slxshooter and aimed a moment, then lowered it and turned away.
 Shoot the coward"
 Give 1t to i'm, Red!''
 Kill 'imv' roared the disappointed crowd on the bunk house.
 Red shook his head.
 "I can't plug a man in the back" said he. "Somethin' inside of me goes agin it. specially sech a nervy critter as him. It takes more sand than I got to run off that away. I ruther be shot full O holes than to git the hoss laugh from the whole bunch"

 One of the early actions of the week will be the consideration of the agricul- ture bill, with its worrisome meat in- is to get this bill into conference at the earliest possible moment.

 One evening at dessert, the lady who was always complaining asked the waiter why the dish served her was called 'ice- cream pudding''
 If you don't like 1t, maam, I'll bring you something else,' suggested the polite negro.
 'Oh, it's very nice" responded the lady. What I object to is that It should be called ice-cream pudding. It's wrongly named There should be ice cream served with it."

BOOK PLATE TO TRINITY

The will of Mrs. Ella S. Thayer, who
bequest of $4,000 to Trinity church.
Boston, in memory Of her husband,
Frank N. Thayer, for many years the
American representative of the Leyland
steamship line. The executors, on tax
ing the matter up with the wardens of
Trinity church, suggested that the be-
quest be used to form a fund, the in
come of which should be at the disposal
of the rector to purchase books for the
parish library. The wardens, Robert
Treat Paine and Mr.. Sears, who was a
friend of Mr.. Thayer, heartily approved
the suggestion and accepted the bequest
for the purpose mentioned.
Mrs. William C. Mcmillan thereupon
commissioned Bertram G. Goodhue to
prepare bookplate to be added to the
gift made by her mother. Mr.. Good
hue designs bookplates primarily be
cause he loves the work, which is quite
aside from his profession.
