REPUBLICAN
HOUSE
In the sixtieth Congress is in Doubt
and Leaders Are Worried.

No hard-headed, unsympathetic pol
itician can figure on the coming cleo
tion for members of Congress without
realizing that Republican House of
representatives in t he Sixtieth Con-
gress Is in doubt-yery much In
doubt.
No one knows this better than Rep
resentative James s. Sherman, Chair
man of the Republican Congress Com
mittee. Mr.. Sherman is a good poll
tician, and he is playing the game
well. Just now he is engaged in put
ting to sleep the Democrats and the
labor allies Of the Democrats. That
is the meaning of his statements made
on Saturday to the Republican news
papers that the House was safely Re-
publican on the prosperity issue.
Mr.. Sherman had admitted within a
short time to the President and other
Administration leaders, however, that
the Republicans stood to lose 40 seats
that they now hold in the House.
This would mean drop from the ma
jority of 1872 elected in November,
1904, to majority of only 80 in the
Sixtieth Congress,
It is frankly admitted that no living
man who feels there will be loss of
40 Congress districts to his party can
safely make the prediction that the
loss viii not be so, or perhaps, more,
and loss Of 56 districts would tie the
House. This is due entirely to al
most unparalleled conditions which
prevail in the Republican party or
CARNATIONS in dozen states and to
agitation along socialistic lines for
the destruction Of parties which is
now sweeping along like prairie fire.
The districts that Mr. Sherman ex-
poets to lose evidently are those which
were carried by the Democrats in 1902
and were swept into the Republican
column by the phenomenal run of Mr..
Roosevelt in 1904.

WhyAduIterated
Paint is Dear

A maker of adulterated
white lead sneered "Why
should paint be purep No
one eats il"
True, but when white
lead is adulterated with
barytes, sublimed lead,
gypsum, whiting, etc., it
loses the qualities which
make pure white lead the
best paint pigment.
And when these imita%
tons are sold as white lead,
the consumer is deceived
into payingwhite lead prices
for worthless substitutes.

A Swimming School for Horses.

The most interesting and amusing sight
at Aldershot. the military center Of Eng
land, is the big reservoir where cavalry
horses from all parts of the world are
trained to swim.
The newly received horses. most of them
from inland regions. have a deep seated
objection TO the water. II Is absolutely I'M
possible to coax the animals into the water
any deeper than their knees. Coilapsible
boats are used and the refractory animal
is dragged by main force beyond his depth.
where he has to swim for dear life. or any
life at all for that matter.
After this experience his objection to
water Is stronger than ever but he is con-
quered by being kept upon slender diet
and man In a receding boat holds out to
him tempting feed OF corn. Although
judieious force is used. the horses are never
terrified or frightened but are taught to
overcome their natural dread of the water
by quite slow degrees. Some at nrst are
so terrified they will not even wet their
fetlocks hut plant their trembling legs reso-
lutely a few feet away from the water.
They are then ridden gently UP and down
the edge but kept constantly IN sight OF the
big sheet of water. Gradually they are
quite comfortable wading as far as their
knees A few days later the pupil ffnds

st. Patrick.

Millions of boys and girls will on the
18th OF March wear a bit of green rib
bon of an artificial shamrock pinned
upon their coats. Most people know this
day is called st. Patrick's Day. but very
few people know why it is celebrated Did
you think it was the anniversary of the
day st. Patrick drove the snakes out Of
Ireland? That is not right. 1t comment
crates the death of the first missionary to
Ireland.
Old English calendars celebrated this date
as the day upon which Noah entered into
the ark Opposite the date was always
placed the Latin words which meant: 1.-THE
entering Of Noah into the ark"
But to return to st. Patrick, there are
so many legends and traditions about him
that one scarcely knows which to believe
However the legends agree that st. Patrick
was wonderfully good and q great miracle
worker.
The most interesting story about ST.
Patrick tells how he rid Ireland of snakes.
According to Colgan, an old biographer, the
saint took an immense drum and walked
about the country beating thunderous tat
too upon it. Snakes of all sorts, charmed
by the rude music, fell In behind the drum
mer. A too vigorous beat at last knocked
hole in the drum The snakes stopped
following Patrick, and started to return to
their dens. when an angel appeared and
mended the drum. Instantly the Journey
began again. The reptiles once more fol-
lowed and We're all led into the sea and
drowned. Only one escaped. To punish
him St. Patrick confined him In the gloomy
depths of Lake Dilveen, In the mountains
of Tipperary- The saint promised to pass
sentenceaon that one on Monday. For some
reason he forgot to return to the lake
again. They say in Tipperary to this day,
that every Monday the snake comes to the
surface of the lake and walls out In good
Irish language. Its a long. long Monday,
Patrick"

The Most Famous Hunter in Siberia.

1t is strange, but 1t Is also true that
the greatest bear hunter of Siberia is a
young girl You boys who sheer at the
cowardice of girls take well note OF this
fact. The brothers OF this young girl
were hunters, and hearing them talk
about their thrilling experiences when
they were out bear hunting made her de-
eide that she would try and see what she
could accomplish I'm this direction. She
stole off alone to hunt her first bear, for
she knew how her brothers would tease
her had she made her wish known to
them. The brothers did not tease; they
were astonished when their sister re-
turned. bringing home an enormous skin
After that she went whenever She chose
sometimes with her brothers and some
times by herself. until she became famous
all throughout Siberia.
The name of this girl Is Anna Petrov-
nara.
