WARDROBE BOOKKEEPING
is LATEST SOCIETY FAD

tient maid is in charge of her mis-
tress' wardrobe book.
The wealthiest and most fashion
able women seldom wear an after
noon or evening gown more than
three times at the most. and it is no
unusual thing for hostess to be un-
decided up to the hour of an enter
tainment what gown she will put on
in which to welcome her coming
guests, which implies, of course, that
she has so many she cannot decide
till the last moment which to wear.
1t remained for Mrs. Shonts of Chi
cago. wife of the former chairman of
the isthmian canal commission, to
startle Washington society by such
a prodigality OF clothes that she has
to have description of them kept
in a book.
A color and description OF the
trimmings is put down, thus catalogu-
ing the whole wardrobe. This busi-
nesslike method OF selecting attire
saves much worry.

pitable board of the New Hampshire
statesman, or perhaps both would
have automatically declined the in
vitation. At the luncheon no refer
ence, Of course, was made to their
spirited colloquy in open senate that
led to personalities, but the host kept
them in such merry mood that when
the luncheon was over they found
themselves as fast friends as they had
ever been.
1t is recalled that on a certain mem
orable occasion, not so long ago, Mr..
Chandler declared that he would never
again ESSAY the role of peacemaker,
but he then had cause to feel that his
pacificatory efforts had taken too
broad a sweep to be effective, and so
he has ceased to brood moodily over
the most notable failure of his career
as peacemaker between great men.

was one that never came out of Ger

vigorous a whistle as his unfamiliarl-

F Representative W. Charles Adam
son, of Georgia, succeeds in
scheme that he has undertaken it is
not unlikely that the boarding house
mistresses of Washington will appeal
to the president to invoke the aid of
the bureau of corporations in break
ing a gigantic combination composed
of senators and representatives. Mr..
AdamsOn is trying to organize among
senators an association the members
of which will pledge themselves to
pay just so much and no mre for
board, for house rent, for midday
lunches and after theater dinners. In
a word, his association will fix
maximum price for every necessary
of life for a representative during his
stay at the national capital.
Representative Adamson says he is
meeting with encouragement from
members he has approached and he
hopes to launch his association next
session. He says 200 members will
be necessary for the success of his
undertaking and he adds that when
once the association gets in working
order hotels will cheaper their rates,
landlords will reduce their rents and
-restauranteurs will sell 80 meal
tickets for $3.50" According to Mr..
Adamson, the people in Washington
who control things that representa-
tiyes must have have agreed among

themselves upon a scale of prices,
and these prices are such, he de-
clares, that every cent of legisla-
tors salary is exhausted before he
leaves Washington. He maintains
the salary makes no difference; the
net surplus at the end of each ses-
sion will be the same-many unpaid
bills.
IF representatives received only
$4,000 a year they could live just as
well as they will live on the $7.500,"
he says. THE people of Washington
are determined to get all the money
a representative draws in salary"
Recently, Mr.. Adamson rented, or
agreed to rent, couple of rooms on
X street. He described them as
rooms he could have obtained in his
native town of Carrollton for five dol
lars a month or in Atlanta for ten dol
lars. He agreed to pay the landlady
$50 for them and instructed his Sec
retary to move in. He returned to
his office in the afternoon to find that
his order had not been obeyed.
The landlady had learned that
Adamson was a representative. She
also learned of the increase in salary
that had been voted and she accord
ingly notified the secretary when he
went to take possession that the rent
had been raised to 500 month. Mr..
Adamson commended his clerk for
not moving.

Annie stood on the platform of the
east-bound train as it waited for the
signal to steam out of the station.
Back at the gate stood Annie's broth
er and his wife and Annie's sister and
her husband. Between, the crowd
surged unheeding. But by the green
that they wore on this st. Patrick's
day the girl ON the platform knew
them for her own people. Katie and
Hannah were weeping. Annie had
hoped that they would not weep, for.
sure, wasn't it bad luck to have tears
when one was going home?
Home How many a night had she
lain awake after the work of day had
clamored for rest for her weary body
and mind. thinking, thinking ever of
the two who were even now counting
the hours till their last-born should
be once again under her old rooftree!
The journey to the sea was but
step; and after the ocean came the
hills that some morning would rise to
the eastward-her own Erin. And
then there would be the mists and the
fogs of the slow train journey to the
little station; and then the long walk
perhaps through the rain-that
would bring her TO that light of home.
God be with you," she called to
the little group as the engine wheels
began to revolve. And her own eyes
were dim with tears. And as the
train went out into the open spaces
the engine bells sounded a song she
had heard somewhere of late:
Then go back to Ireland.
Kiss your friends in Ireland.
But you'll lave your heart behind you In
the west!"

A CONFEDERATE CHICK.
Johnny's Reason for Contiscating a
Fowl for the Union Army.

The year 1864 found number of
1OO-days regiments from Iowa down
the Mississippi river doing guard duty
along the frontiers while Sherman
was gathering his forces for his
march to the sea, says a writer in Ma
tional Tribune. The Forty-sixth Iowa
was in command of Col. d. B. Hender-
son, of Dubuque, who a few months
before had lost foot at Shiloh as
sergeant of company A, Twelfth Iowa.
The regimental headquarters was at
Collierville, Tenn, 25 miles east of
Memphis, on the Charleston railroad,
while the different companies were
scattered up and down the line. This
regiment, like many others, was COM
posed of mere boys, of men too old
for regular service, and of those who
had seen service in other regiments
and for one cause or another had been
discharged. The old vets always led
in all army tricks; having been
through the mill they knew the ropes
and how to pull them. In July, 1864,
a number of boys had been out forag-
ing and sightseeing one day, and
among other things brought back into
camp was a colored boy about IL
years old. He was a very bright little
chap, not so very black, well-featured,
and appeared to be above the average
colored boys seen every day. He said
his name was John Allen, Sir" He
was at once adopted as a member of
company G, and found firm friend in
Second Lieut.. Joseph w. Cummins.
He was willing, ready and anxious to
do anything for company boys, and
as he knew the country we'll, having
been around there some months, when
there was any foraging to be done
after he came Johnny was taken
along as a guide. On one such occa-
sion the men stopped at a farm house,
when a great cry was heard from
some of the women folks at home. 1t
seems the darky, who loved chickens
like a fox, had been peeping around
and spied a big, fat rooster, which he
was trying to capture when the wom-
en- spied him and mixed in the race.
The women were armed with brooms,
and there was procession going
round and round the big, red rooster,
eager darky in the rear and the wom-
en- after him screaming at the top Of
their lungs, and when they were not
| screaming, cussing the "nigger." The
chase ended with the capture of the
bird by Johnny, who kept we'll out of
the way of the women. They ap-
pealed to the captain of the squad to
have the chicken returned, and John
ny was called up and questioned. 1T
was dis away, Cap'n," said Johnny.
Lieut.. Cummins tole me dis a-morn-
in he was plum sick of hardtack and
sowbelly and axed me cou'd'n 1 git
house a vile ago and it was all dark
but dis rooster he say 'Yo niger can't
get me, get me, get me- When 1 har
his voice l started under dar, an dis
rooster ies up and crow and say
'Hurra for jeff Davis and yo's know
dat is treason, and so jes cotch him.
"Did he say that, Johnny?" Deed he
did, Capn, and it made me so mad
Then you were quite right Johnny
He should be confiscated and eXecut
ed. Take him to camp and report to
Col. Henderson" said the captain
The women could not help smiling al
the plea of the darlSy, but they vowed
vengeance all the same.

which is consistent with conscience
and the constitution.
In this connection call your atten-
ton to the fact that in 1905 twenty
one states and three territories passed
drainage laws which may be found
in the state library, and which no doubt
will be of great assistance to you in
the enactment of the drainage law
| have referred you particularly to
the Red River Valley on account of the
great necessity for drainage in that
portion of the state, but there are
many acres of land in other portions
OF the state which can be reclaimed by
a proper system of drainage.
There is sentiment growing in
this state in favor of direct legislation
or what is commonly called.
The Initiative and the Referendum.
This simply means that the people
can at any time initiate legislation By
petitiOning the legislative assembly
to enact certain laws. This is called
the initiative, and if the legislative as
sembly refuses to pass the law that
the people want, or if they should
pass law that the people do not want,
then a certain percentage of the people
can, by petition, have such law refer
red to the people for their approval or
disapproval The object of this law is
to put the power of governing in the
hands of the people where it belongs,
and there ought not to be any OPPOSE
ton to amending the constitution and
the laws in this respect, for it is our
proud boast that we are "a government
of the people for the people and by
the people" l am heartily in favor of
it as applied to legislative enactment,
and commned it to your most hearty
and conscientious consideration.
We should not forget that we are
here as the servants of the people and
that as such it is our duty to favor
the enactment of wholesome good laws,
no matter from what source they come,
and put the seal of disapproval upon
those which are not wholesome and
good, irrespective of their force.
We should forget party differences
and personal grievances and give to
the corporations and individuals justice
alike. Each is entitled to this and
none is entitle to more, and I assure
you that l will heartily cooperate with
you and assist you to the best of my
ability and to the extent OF all my time
to secure legislation for the common
good and general welfare of all the
people of this great state.
