"THIS Is MY BIRTHDAY
Charles Curtis.

Charles Curtis, the new United
States senator from Kansas, was born
near Topeka, January Is, 1860. The
blood of the American Indian flows
through his veins, and he will be the
first member Of that race who ever
graced the halls of the United States
Senate. He is one of the few remain
ing members of the Kaw tribe of In
dians, which is fast fading away. Mr..
Curtis is strictly self made man. In
his youth he was in turn a newsboy
on the strets of Topeka, horse jock
ey and cab driver. He gained a
smattering of law by hard study while
driving hack and was admitted to
the bar in 1881. He was soon after
ward elected county attorney. His
elevation to the Senate follows four
teen years of consecutive service in
the lower house of Congress- He will
begin full siX-year term on March
4, which marks the expiration of the
brief service of Senator Benson, who
was appointed by the Governor of
Kansas to fill out Senator Burton's

/: Bill introduced in the house I:

No use any more trying to touch
the genial candidate for the drinks,
or the cigars, or for a small "loan," If
a bill offered in the Minnesota house
by Representative J. D. Davidson of
Waseca meets with favor.
Should the Davidson bill become a
law, the giving of all these will be for
hidden under penalty of fine or i'm
prdsonment, or both, and more than
that, the time-honored custom of hir-
ing rigs to bring the voters to the
polls and gaily decorating them with
such signs as "Vote for John Smith
for Sheriff" will be made misde-
meanor.
The bill in part reads: "No candi-
date for an elective office and no poll
teal committee shall give voter
money, intoxicating liquor or cigars
during primary or general election
campaign, or on primary election or
general election days. Nor shall a
candidate or committee hire any con-
veyance or vehicle to bring voters to
the polls during primary or general
election days, except for the infirm or
the disabled"
The penalty is made fine Of from
$50 to 800, or Jail sentence of from
10 to 30 days, or both.

THREE GOOD IDEAS
ONE Is IMPROVEMENT ON EVER
POPULAR FUDGE.
Addition Of MarshmaIIows Makes the
CORRECTION DeIicious-odd Fur
nishins for Den-oysters In
Chatting Dish.

Fudge Is now as popular as when
first INTRODUCED several years ago, re.
placing the favorite chocolate cara
mels. The expert fudgemaker seldom
thinks Of measuring her materials, but
just guesses at the quantity of sugar,
milk, chocolate and butter necessary.
1t Is just before the fudge is done
that the additions which give it nov
city 60 in. Nuts are always good.
One variety or several kinds mixed
may be used. Then there is crystal.
lied ginger cut in small pieces. An.
other mixture is Of marshmallows.
For this the following recipe may be
used:
One-fourth cake of unsweetened
chocolate, two cups of eranulated
sugar, one cup Of milk, one tesspoon.
full of butter. Boil for five yinutes.
then take from the fire and pour in
q heaping saucerful of marshmallows
torn in small bits. Beat until the
mixture begins to stiffen, then pour
quickly into buttered tins to cool.
Another way is to sprinkle the shred.
ded marshmallow on the bottom of
the pan, and pour the hot fudge over
1t. This is convenient when both the
marshmallow, nut, and the plain varie-
les are to be made from the same
boiling.
A den seen recently was furnished
In black oak and the walls were done
in deep red burlap. The trim, includ.
ing wooden cornice. was also black.
The ceiling was deep cream, or per.
haps more on the buff. The couch
was upholstered in linen taffeta to
match the walls. There were many
pillows in plain red and few in bvff.
A plate rail of oak for china atA
stems was carried around the room.
On the black oak reading table was
an oriental scarf, harmonizing with
the walls and the pillows. Upon this
rested a wrought-iron lamp with a
deep red bowl, and shade of gold-wire
cloth. The mantel was ornamented
with several old brass candlesticks.
About the room were scattered several
pieces of old brass which were put to
use. A large brass bowl was utilized
as scrap basket.
For luncheon or Sunday night tea
oysters may be prepared in the
chatting dish at the table. Use a
tablespoonful Of minced celery. Put
it In your blazer with tablespoonful
Of butter, teaspoonful of lemon
Juice. little salt, and paprika. Whe1
the mixture is thoroughly hot, put in
as many oysters as you need and
cook them until they are plump. Then
add q cupful of cream, and when 1t
has thoroughly heated. serve on hot
toast.

California Defers Action.

Sacramento, Feb. 1.-The senate
this morning withdrew a resolution
requesting California's congressional
delegation to oppose the naturaliza-
tion of Japanese.
A democratic senator introduced n
resolution calling on the governor 10
appoint the attorney general as spe-
cial counsel to go to Washington 10
present California's side of the Jap
anese question, but the republicans
opposed and defeated II.
Immediately upon convening the
legislature a message from the gov-
ernor was presented in accordance
with the request to the California
delegation sent last night, the gov
ernor asking that all legislative ac-
tion on the Japanese question be
postponed for the present.
A majority of the California delega-
tion favors the presidents compro-
mise. If they can persuade Walsh
and Roncoveri to view the situation
in the same light an alarming crisis
can be averted. The president be-
lieves San Francisco is wrong. there
fore the nation could not suffer in
pride by acceding to the deamnds OF
the mikado.

they learned much they did not know

amount to much, but we are dealing
with proud, brave people. War
with japan will he nothing like a
war with Spain. When Japan strikes,
she strikes quickly and without warn

which they lead today. At first it
consisted OF but few hundred faith
full followers who followed them
from the ranks Of the Salvation
Army. Now 1t numbers over $4,000
members.
1t is said by those familiar with the
circumstances that 1t was a rivalry
for the leadership of the world-army
between father and son, william and
Ballington Booth, which inspired the
secession OF the Volunteers. There
was no supreme office for both of
these ambitious men in the one or
ganiZation, and so division was
made and each of the illustrious
Booths led an organization.
Long before the separation in 1896
Maud Ballington Booth had been a
recognized leading spirit in the Sal
walton Army and with the founding
of the Volunteers, at once became the
peer Of her husband in its control and
direction.
She is today recognized as one of
the most fascinating lecturers in the
United States.

Japan's Pride Hurt.

Washington, Feb. Root is re-
ported as saying the japanese have
been sounded in their tenderest spot
national pride. The japanese re-
gard themselves as the equal of any
other people on earth, particularly
feeling themselves superior to the
Chinese. Anything which tends to
place them on level with the Chi
nese in the eyes of the world is de-
grading and humiliating.
Tact will be necessary to remove
the impression in japan this country
is not willing to treat her as well as
the most favored nation.
The administration believes the
president. board of education and the
superintendent of schools of San
Francisco hold the solution in their
own hands.
