Sullivan Favored Increase.

Advocating the amendment, Mr.. Sulli-
van CDem.. Mass. a member of the Com
mittee on Appropriations. and a retiring
Representative. said that some would
vote against the proposition because they
knew that increased compensation would
invite the competition OF men Of greater
ability than themselves for the positions
they occupied. He conceded that some
men were going out Of Congress because
they could not afford to stay, but he was
OF the opinion that the services Of some
members were not worth sl,O0O a year.
Mr. Sims Dem. Tenn), speaking Of a
proposition offered by Mr.. Butler Rep.,
Pa). that the increase should not take ef-
/ feet until March T. 1863. said that the rea-
son which justified an increase then jus
titled a present operation OF the increase.
He referred TO the fact that an increase
had been made in the salary Of the
Speaker, to take effect with the beginning
Of the term Of the Sixueth Congress. and
some one remarked;
He isn't elected yet"
isn't he?" asked Sins with fine scorn.
rs there anybody anywhere who doesn' I
know who's TO be Speaker in the
next Congress? That's one Of the merits
Of the proposition" Laughter)
Il know that my services are worth
more" he asserted amid loud applause.
I am willing 10 go before my great con
Stituency and let them pass upon IL in the
Sixty-first Congress oh, you say, you
are voting money into your pockets. What
did George Washington, the Father of
our Country, say when he voted
81. 900 into his pockets after he had
practically said he didn't want It in
his inaugural address? Go and read
the record with his thumbs in his vesO.
Am I any better than the Father Of my
Country" Great applause.
In the course OF the debate several
changes were suggested 10 the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Littauer. and II was
submitted to the House in the following
shape:
Text of the Amendment.
"On and after March 4. 1909. the COM
pensation Of Senators. Representatives in
Congress. and Delegates from Territories.
and Resident Commissioner from Porto
Rica shall be at the rate Of $500 per an
mum: and in lieu of mileage now author
lied BY law, they shall each be allowed
and paid actual individual travelling ex-
penses, from their homes TO the seat Of
government and return by the most direct
route Of usual travel, once for each ses-
sion of the House to which such Senator.
Representative. Delegate, or Resident
Commissioner belongs, to be certified to
under his hand TO the disbursing officer
and filed as a voucher"
The rising vote was then taken. after
which Mr.. Littauer called for the yeas
and nays, with the result stated.
after the salary vote the House passed
the legislative appropriation bill, and ad-
journed.

of his candidate for the Office of JUS
tice of the peace. There was man
who was entitled to the suffrages of
his fellow citizens, because he had
always answered duty's call. 1t was
true that he had served as justice
of the peace for twenty-four years,
but the speaker believed in keeping
true merit in Office. Dudley Collier
was a representative citizen of Long
Valley, and it hehooved all good men
TO vote for him. Then Collier arose.
While it is generally considered a
violation OF political ethics for a ju-
dicial candidate to take the stump,
Collier was not troubled. He was
ienorant of such section in the Code
OF Political Ethics. His adherents
eleered and applauded. Collier spoke
ct great length. He reviewed his
past service He pointed at his un-
Jarnished record. He spoke feeling
iy of his party loyalty, of his efforts
n behalf of The Democratic party.
He thought chat he was deserving of
reelection because OF his administra-
ton of justice in the township. He
didn't know that lawyers that came
from the county seat to try eases in
his court spoke OF him as Judge
who dispensed with justice.
The next night the Kelsey faction
held a rally. Kelsey was there with

The End of the Game.

GxzszzzS eE.EEs GzRzszszsxzD
BY GEORGE s. EVANS.

The Honorable Dudley Collier was
Justice of the peace of Long Valley
Township, and had been such from
time whereof the memory of man
ran not to the contrary; he consid-
cred that the confidence reposed in
him by his fellows was a mark OF
high favor and esteem. What mat
tered it if he did preside over bat one
case a year on the average? At the
trial of that one case he was in the
public eye. What if on one occa-
sion he had heard one lawyer whis-
per to another that "the presumption
that a justice of the peace knows no
law is indisputable in this instance?"
What was the difference if his fame
had gone abroad because it was his
invariable rule during a trial to rule
in favor Of one litigant. and then
rule in favor of the other one in
order to balance the account? The
emoluments of the Office were not
great: it was not for them that he
coveted the position, but the dignity,
that was the thing. 1t gave him a
standing. That was his reason for
holding on so tenaciously.
II jess naturally need that Office in
my business" was his explanation.
But his sway was threatened. An
election was again at hand. aud
James Kelsey, more familiarly
called "Jim" Kelsey, his lifelong
opponent, was likely to be elected

polled eight out of fifteen votes N

Each candidate voted for himself

Value Of a Correct Walk.

A woman who leads very active
life has theory that the preserva-
tion of a good figure depends to some
extent on the manner of walking
Many people, she says, as they ad-
vance in years allow themselves to
walk heavily and without elasticity.
SO that the whole weight rests on the
lower part of the limbs at every step,
the only effect of exercise being wear
mess of the legs and feet. Instead
of this the body should be held erect
and poised so as to have a perfect
balance: in this way the muscles are
braced and strengthened throughout.
the lungs must of necessity be we'll

Even the bathing suits are hand
embroidered this season, usually in
large, striking designs with coarse
cottons.
The latest in wells is the ''flirta-
tion," three yards long, made of
washable chiffon and wondrously
hand-painted on the ends.
One of the advantages of the
corselet skirt is that when the jacket
is removed it is far more complete
than the usual skirt and blouse.
Small dainty clusters of lilies and
moss roses are selling well. Many
other combinations are shown, but
these two are about the best.
If designs not too large are chosen
one can make very pretty collar-and
cuff sets with the shadow embroidery
on fine lawn. Use plenty of lace to
soften.
Long scarfs of wide gauze printed
with large floral designs are shown
for the neck, but it is doubtful if they
will be used in any quantity Tor that
purpose.
Wide gauze metal ribbons in both
silver and gold are shown, both in
plain effects and with printed floral
designs and few are exhibited with
small broche spots.
Foliage of all descriptions is in
good demand, but the most Favored
has slight frosting in pastille tones
to blend with the colors of the dow-
ers with which it is used.
This rage for the monochrome in
dress has brought out innumerable
new tints and shades for esery color,
and made permissible the use of al
most as many different materials in
combination.
Pansies are in favor and are
shown in all the natural colors from
pale mauve to deep purple. Pastille
colors in violets, cowslips, hyacinths,
forget-me-nots, anemones, acacias
and lilacs are all good.
Some of the most fetching crea-
tions are those in which silk, velvet,
cloth. ribbon and perhaps even chif-
fon, lace and mousseline in different
shades are blended carefully. But
there is the point. They must be
cleverly blended, else crazy-quilt
effect is produced, and for that rea-
SON the home dressmaker should
wisely select some other style upon
which to try her prOwess.
Greene County herald., 1906-07-27

Undoubtedly the smartest boot for
1ne wear matches the costume. For
a plum-colored or navy-blue costume
in broadcloth the ideal boot is made
of finest leather (patent. shiny or
mat, as one prefers), with the tops
to match. Whatever the color worn,
this holds good, and it is good style
with gray or white. Cheaper, yet
smart, are CATERS to match the
dress. White ones are affected with
black velvet dresses, while mode and
gray are generally worn. 1t is smart
est to have them match the dress, ex-
-cept the light ones are worn in har-
monious contrast.
