my simple presence make these
men more defiant? The fellow is
positively insolent and insulting.
"No, l have not interfered nor
tried to interfere with the Legisla-
ture or any member of it. l have
never sought an interview with any
member of that body. Perhaps as
often as four or five times I have
been asked what l thought of
some particular measure, and if |
knew anything about it I said just
exactly whatI thought. So far as
pending dramshop legislation is
concerned I know practically moth
ing about it. I have never seen
any of the bills-not one-and |
know nothing about them, AS to
the so-called excise bill have
said, when asked about it, that if
[ we're a member of the Legisla-
ture would oppose it as unneces-
sary, un-Democratic and danger

same thing when asked about the
bill comforting upon the Governor

ions to the members of the Legis.

posed to represent a coordinate

Senator Stone In Interview.

JEFFERSON City, May 1.-THE
following clipping from the Kan
sas City Star and Times of Monday
was shown to Senator Stone to-
day and he was asked about it:
"a hearty supporter of Gov.
Folk, who is one of the House
Democratic leaders, said tonight:
Il wish Senator Stone would not
come back this week. Somehow
when he is here the Democrats we
call the machine men are more
defiant and more determined to
block legislation. I don't know
that he says a word to them,
either When the Legislature met
it was understood that Stone was
to sail for the Philippines on April
2Sth, but he was here half of last
week and was at the Southern
Hotel in st. Louis to-day, when a
great many members of both
Houses were there. He does not
give any public evidence of TAX
ing any interest in legislation
when he is here, but the adminis-
tration Democrats speculate and
wonder why he stays So long in
and about Jefferson City,"
"First," said Senator Stone, 81
would like to know the name of
the Democratic House leader,
who made the remark attributed to
him. suppose the name of the
1eader, is Evans, the Jefferson City
correspondent of the Star and Times.
He is said to be a Header of the
Third House, that is of the lobby,
and here, as you know, he bears,
and undoubtedly deserves, the
reputation of being perhaps the
most odious and offensive lobbyist
in Jefferson City. I am told thai

to promote good or bad, and 0.

The next day | was notified by
telegram that circumstances had
arisen which made it impossible
for our party to sail on the 18th,
and that we would have to delay
the trip for several weeks, and ac-
cordingly | returned my transport
tation to the Office in st. Louis.
AS the result of a correspondence
which followed it was finally de-
termined that we would sail May
18th. This information came to
me in definite form Friday last. I
went to st. Louis and spent the
following day Saturday. in that
city arranging the details Of my
trip with the Burlington and Can
adian Pacific railroads. Saturday
evening I left st. Louis for Kansas
City and spent Sunday at Kansas
City and not at the Southern Hotel
in st. Louis, as Evans says. l am
at home to-day completing ar
rangements for my voyage, and
expect to leave for st. Joseph en-
route to the Pacific coast at 5
O'Clock this evening. All this is
not important except to show that
the Star Times lobby 1eader' is a
liar. But to show that at any time
or upon almost any occasion, is to
show something already SO gem
orally known, and to do something
so easily performed that the show
ing is scarce worth while.

THE SLANDERER.

'Tis the province of women to talk, we all know
Of their friends and their neighbors' affairs,
. In a sserly spirit, their voices pitched low,
With sigh for their troubles and cares.
At the afternoon tea, or the cofee-klatch plain,
At the Sewing Socey's meet,
AT the whist at the quilting, the incoming train
At the church, in the home, the street.
Yes, of this and of that, of some him some her,
OF the baby's new tooth, Of a gown,
Of the last batch of bread, of the cost of a fur,
OF the bargains in bonnets marked down.
Tis true that the keep their tongues well in play
On the passing events round about,
With freedom unknown to the feminine way,
And in phrases not always devout
At the lodge, in the office, the shop and the store
At the barbers the club, the saloon
Let them where they will they find subjects galore
To discuss, morning, night and high noon.
o, they talk of the weather, the crops t may be
OF the roads and of matters of State,
In hap-hazard way oft unguarded and free,
Unpretend1ng to wisdom or weight.

From the lips in gossipy strain,
An expression, in haste, not untnctured with gall
In uncharity cruel and vain. NJ
But repentance oft dogs at the heels of the sin &
Which the member unruy has done,
And desire then the hope to the heart usfers in
That its utt' rance was needed of none

And the breath from the lungs flowing free,
Are jancto in ~no too often too strong
For the curb Of my neghbor and mel
But how sodid the creature how blackened his heart
Who, with malice prepense finds delight
In creating foul fa1sehoods to fixed part
And engraves them in cold black-and- white
To be viewed of the world in the semblance of truth
To be-poison the minds of just n1en
If he's proven liar, it does him ruth,
For he's hard the neb of his pen
No regret repentance disturbs his vile
Or bewrnkes his forehead of brass,
For his conscience is ca1oused by frequent offence
Till it's tough as the hide of the asst
There scorpions, snakes, and foul vermin untold
In Dame Natures economy bound
For what reason created? No sage yet SO bold
AS to say that their purpose he's found
In their fear, from hunger they strike they rend
But not wantonly just when they can,
And they hide from the sight of the world they offend

But the sIANDERER bent upon serving his ends

by giving his name as discoverer to
something he never discovered. The
wave which we know as the Marcel
wave was invented long before Mar
eel at his modest and extraordinary
shop in the Rue de rEchelle began to
use it. BY then the wave was al
ready widely popular, Lantherie and
the other hairdressers of Paris all
practicing it, and practically all the
Partisan women of the world having
taken to it. There was one difficulty
The wave was graceful and lent an
air of great distinction. ah yes. But
it was so expensive and, alasl lasted
so short a time. In a few hours, at
most, the beautiful waves had col
lapsed to their natural limp lankness.
Here was Marcel's opportunity. He
devised irons, a method, trained at
tendants. Under his enterprlsing
hands the wave was put in to stay
