BAILEY'S RATE BILL
TALK SWAPS SENATE

Washington, April 10.-What was
universally agreed among Senators of
both sides to have been the greatest
speech delivered in the Senate for
many years was made today by Mr..
Bailey, Democratic Senator from
Texas. Not even the Senators who
disagreed with it in princip failed to
pay tribute to its merit as a speech
and a legal argument.
Virtually the whole House of Rep,
resentatives deserted their own cham
ber and came over to stand up in the
Senate. General admission to the
Senate galleries was suspended, and
admission was by card. Long before
the hour for Bailey to speak the GAL
leries were filled and great crowds
were standing outside all the doors.
After while the doorkeepers opened
the doors so that those outside might
hear something.
No one talked about anything else
but the speech all the evening. Sena-
tors were gathered in knots discussing
it after the Senate adjourned.

Comfy.

Mr.. EDrToR:-As Comfy hasn't
been reported for long time, | will
give few happenings. Some of the
readers of the lutelligencer said that
the Comfy writer must be dead, for
they haven't seen any news in the
paper from this place for long
time.
The rain Monday and Tuesday
makes us think that spring is here.
The grass and wheat is beginning to
look green. Flowing will soon be in
progress.
Mr.. F. S. Peeling is kept very
busy, as he has just received lot of
spring goods.
Thomas Watt has been busy the
last week. He is the Assessor.
Quite a number of the people of
this vacinity have moved. Hope they
all like their new homes.
James Watt is setting posts for a
new fence.
James Probst, who has been on the
sick list, is slowing improving.
F. S. Peeling has built another
warehouse. He means business.
The first day of May the new mail
carrier will start to carry the mail
from Comfy to Turbotville again.
The schools around here closed last
Thursday.
Quite number of the farmers are
hauling their phosphate.
The roads were beginning to dry
off nicely but the rain has again made
them bad.
Lizzie Kerstetter spent Tuesday
abroad.
Macken Plotts is preparing to build
new barn this summer.
Ira Shade had the misfortune to
lose horse.
Misses Edith and Murtie Marr
spent Saturday with friends at OF
tawa.
John Smith and wife, of Light
street is visiting friends around this

line, spent few weeks at home.

tice, are kept busy.

tai, is spending week or more with
her brother and mother of this
place.
Since j. S. Schooley has moved

He was one of the Judges and it
seems their is no one as suitable for
the office. James Watt and j. S.
Schooley both served their offices very
we'll. Sorry Schooley has moved so
far away.

THE MAN ON FOOT.
In stamboul He Has No Rights az
Against the HOrseman.

In stamboul He Has No Rights as
Against the HOrseman.
One of the peculiarities in Stamboul
Is the insolent demeanor of the horse
man to the footman. Many times daily
you will see some rascal Of cabman
trying to drive down well dressed
man on the street. The drivers rarely
take the trouble to shout as they ap-
proach pedestrians. / was often filled
with wonder at observing the meek
ness with which well dressed Turks on
foot submitted to such treatment from
shabby Turks on carriage boxes. Even
when no Injury was done to such pc
destrian, he was often despatched with
mud. Stamboul must be an lunpleas-
ant place in which to live. Were cab
men in our country to treat pedestrians
so recklessly there would be many
cases of assault and battery, and /
think some mortality among the Jehus.
One day l saw uniformed Turk
picking his way across the street, using
his saber as a walking stick. A car
riage suddenly dashed down on him,
and its driver, after nearly running
over him, hurled at him volley of
what sounded like choice Turk ish
abuse. The uniformed Turk retorted
not. He scraped the mud off his uni
form, stuck his saber under his arm
and waded ashore. In our country
man with saber would have used 1t
on the drivers back By this do not
mean that the Turks are lacking in
spirit-far from 1t, but apparently it
would seem to be the custom of the
country that the man on foot, as
against the man on horseback, has no
rights.-"A Levantine Log Book" by
Jerome Hart.

OVER THE PREClPlCE.

I Tragic Adventure In u Blizzard In
the Antarctic.
Here is an adventure in the antarctic
regions taken from Captain Robert f.
| Scott's "The Voyage of the Discovery"
| Nine men are returning from a sledge
expedition in a binding snowstorm:
"An unusually violent squall prevented
| us from seeing even one another. i'm
mediately ordered chain to be form
ed at right angles and extending across
| our track, each man keeping in touch
with the rest, with the idea of inter
cepting Hare, who was missing, when
he came on. We shouted and blew
whistles, and while this was going on
Evans stepped back on to a patch of
bare, smooth ice and shot out Of sight
Immediately. Thinking the slope to be
one of the short ones so common in the
folds Of the hills, Barne sat down and
deliberately started to slide in Evans
track. In moment or two the slope
grew sleeper, and soon he was going at
pace which left him no power to con-
troll his movements. He whipped out
his clasp knife and dug it into the ice,
but the blade snapped off short and
failed to check his wild career In q
fash the ice changed to snow, which
grew softer until, in smother of fly
ing particles, his rapid flight was ar
rested and he stood up to find Evans
within few feet of him."
A third man Joined them in similar
fashion: Realizing the impossibility
of ascending again by the way they
had come, they started to descend, but
within four PAGES of the place at which
they had been brought to nst they
found that the slope ended suddenly in
steep precipice, beyond which they
could see nothing but the clouds of
whirllng snow. Even as they recoiled
from this new danger and dimly real
ized the mercful patch of soft snow
which had saved them from 1t, a yelp-
Ing dog flew past them, clawing madly
at the icy slope, and disappeared for
ever into the gloom be, ond." The six
others eventually moved on until they,
too, found themselves on an awkward
slope: "Their leader suddenly saw the
precipice beneath his feet and far be-

Another step would have taken him
over the edge. He sprang back with
cry Of warning, and those behind
him, hearing it, dug their heels instinct
lively into the surface, and, with one
exception, all succeeded in stopping.
What followed was over in an instant.
Before his horror stricken companions
had time to think poor Vince unable to
check himself with his soft fur boots,
had shot from among them, flashed
past the leader and disappeared"
Vince was never seen again. but Hare,
the first missing man, staggered back
to the ship two days after the others.

Carving q Name.

Wrote my name upon the sand,
And trusted it would stand for aye!
But soon, alas! the refluent sea.
Had washed my feeble lines away.
l carved my name upon the wood,
And, after years, returned again;
l missed the shadow of the tree
That stretched of old upon the plain.
To solid marble, next, my name
gave as II p 'rpetual trust;
An earthquake rent it to its base,
And now 1t lies o'erlaid with dust.
All these have failed. In wiser mood
turn and ask myself, "What then ?"

OF kindly deeds and actions wrought,
And these, beyond the touch of time,

Excellent authorities agree that in

Getting Started as a MiIliner.

Given a knack and little know
ledge of millinery, nothing is easier to
get started in than the bonnet busi.
ness. The hat shop is delightfully."-
clean place, one where artistic tastes
have opportunity to show themselves
and to earn Il good income for their
fortunate possessors. 1t is commonly
thought that millinery is a matter re-
quiring capital, and so it is if the
milliner must begin on a large scale.
Granted, however, that she must
not, cannot, but on the contrary must
climb into the hat business without
capital, she may become Il visiting
milliner, go from house to house, use
"1adies' own MATERIAL and furnish
up old hats until she has laid by a
small sum of money.
The next step in this self making
process is the stage of taking orders
Doubtless many of the girls custom
ers those she has worked for in their
own homes-have now come to trust
her judgment and admire her taste.
So when she asks them to order their
hats through her, letting her do the
work at her own home, and looking
for acceptance con approval" her
necessarily wearing journeys from
house to house are at an end. She
buys materials with her little capital,
makes her hats and delivers them.
Her profit now is considerably larger
than when she worked with '1adies
own material." "
And then some day she is rich
enough to rent a shop and make her
hats in it instead of in her bedroom.
