Congreso dc la Paz,

" Skunk Cabbage. !"

The following verses on 'Skunk Cab bage , were written by Mrs. B. A. Hitch cock of Canaan and appeared in the March number of Outdoor Life:" When the tawny brown bee begins his humming The monks of the meadows are coming, are coming,
 In groups or alone-and they look so
 queer;
 Half leaning and huddled in grasses sere, With their mottled cassocks close-wrapped Their portly figures, while they make no sound
 What are they listening for, standing so
 still? Down underground do they feel thrillS Down where their cloisters lie, dark and
 chill,
 Do they wait a message
 That will be presage Of the wonderful glories on river and foun- tain. ~f .- The riot of splendor on valley and noun tain That soon shall be? For the baton wing Of the partridge has bidden the bird cho- rus sing
 To greet the gay mardi grass of the
 spring. Like hand curled behind a listening cal Are the dark mottled shapes; and if l should peer | Close under the fold of that d-lookine | hood
 And ask: Why listeng" would it dc
 any good? I fancy my ear drums are far too obtuse To hear, should one answer; so what is th'
 use?
 But one thing is certain, I've a goot
 sense of smell
 And these monks have an odor abou
 them that-well If 'tis sanctity's odor
 That exhales from their clothing, Then the odor of sanctity"
 Fills me with loathing. I should judge by the size and the shape o
 their girth These monks had fared sumptuously dowl
 in the earth Each figure so smooth and so plump an,
 rotund is I'm afraid not often they sang "De Pro I fundis" While storms trampled over their roo
 brown and sere
 They swelled with good eating am
 drinking, I fear Now,w are they leaning and list'ni
 to hear?

HOUSE TAKES
TO ORATORY
Every One Speaks on His Pet
subject-Grosvenor Discusses
the Traffic.

WASHINGTON. D. c., January 23.-This
was a day of oratory in the House, the
pensions appropriations bill affording an
opportunity to a number OF representa-
tives to make speeches not only In behalf
of the bill itself. but on the tariff and
on the San Francisco school incident On
the latter subject Mr.. Hayes, of Califor-
MIA, insisted that all California desired
was to be permitted to continue Ameri-
can, and that the Chinese exclusion law
should be made to apply to Japanese
coolies.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, occupied an
hour and half In a discussion of the
tariff. Mr.. Crumpacker. OF Indiana, and
Mr.. Taylor, OF Ohio. spoke on pension
legislation of general character. both
having bills before the pension commit
tee tending to broaden the scope of eX-
listing pension laws. A spirited contro.
versy arose over an effort to have tho
pension agencies of the country reduced
from eighteen to nine. The proposition
was sharply antagonized by members rep
resenting districts from which agencies
would be removed.
Without reaching the pension appro-
priation bill under the five-minute rule,
the House at 4:45 P. M. adjourned.
