ODD PURCHASES FROM THE SENATE
CONTINGENT FUND"

Secretary Charles g. Bennett. Of the
United States Senate, publishes little
book once year that would como quick
ly into the list Of the "six best sellers" II
1t were advertised judiciously, says the
Omaha Bee. No one connected with the
enterprise, however, seems particularly
anxious to give the volume any undue
publicity, and it's charms are usually re-
served for those who have learned the
merits of the publication. Mr.. Benefits
volume for 1907 has just been issued from
the press under the unattractive title OF
"Report Of the Secretary Of the United
States Senate" 1t starts of In very
prosy way to show how many bills we're
introduced, killed, passed, or held up In
committees. The statistical introduce
ton is about as uninteresting as speech
on the silver question, but over In the
back of the book Is some reading of
highly entertaining character.
The fascinating section of the Bennett
report deals with the manner In which
the United States Senate spends it's soon
tingent" fund, q modest amount that Is
incorporated in the appropriation bills
at the close of every session. The re-
port for the present year shows that the
United States Senators are thrifty lot,
As they consumed in the last fiscal year
800 cases of mineral water, costing S4,-
504.70. They also spent $2,025 81 for
carbonized mineral water and S3lS.87
for lemons and sugar, making total of
80, $40. "a for harmless drinkables for the
session and not drop of booze included.
Since there are 80 Senator'S, the per
capita consumption of mineral water for
the session was about S76.
Speculation as to whether the Senator
had any "chasers" to go with that
amount of mineral water, or used the
mineral water to take the taste of some
thing else out of their mouths, is cut
short by establishment at the next item
ON the list: zone skirt trunk, S26.70."
Mr.. Bennett cruelty fails to throw any
light on this item, even to telling who
the lucky, or unlucky, purchaser was.
1t is suspected, however, that the skirt
trunk went to the same Senator who
had "Cosmetikue, 40 cents" charged to
his share of the contingent fund. Two
branding irons, costing 50 so, are on the
list, presumably supplied to Senator
kHimou. WhIio euO SOuoto OuohoOif
viewed from the gallery, looks like the
first row at vaudeville performance,
the account of Mr.. Bennett shows that
he supplied the august Senators with a
variagated assortment of tonics and
preparations for the hair. Here are
some of the entries: Bay rum, $30.25;
witch hazel, $l4; hair tonic, S20.5 {;
brilliantine, 81 20. There was also a
modest outlay of S51O.21 for sponges.
Six sewing sets at total cost of S26.50,
and manicure sets valued at 5000. Is, also
figure in the lists, while glove and
handkerchief sets, opera bags aud en-
gagement pads make up $500 total.
One disappointing feature of Mr..
Benefits book is that the government
is trying to economic in its printing
bills, and the person who tries to secure
one of the entertaining brochures is al
most certain to be informed that the
"supply has been exhausted and no
more will be printed"
