wise. The committee is given authority
to sit during the recess of Congress and
to swear witnesses
Senator Culberson said he had no OBJ
lection to the resolution, but said that
it was not positive enough in it's terms,
and offered a substitute which was
read to the Senate.
Agree on Compromise.
Mr.. Aldrich thought the substitute
covered the same ground as his own.

committee to audit and control the con-
tingent expenses Of the Senate, and A-r

once arose and reported back favorably

Mr.. Culberson objected to the con-
sideratiou of the resolution. and under

Wanton Insult, Says Bailey.
During the debate on the bill Senator
Bailey referred to the Presidents mess

world.
Senator Tillman said that If the Pres

Senator Hale counseled careful, digni-

Senator Bailey then said that he would
not ask for an amendment to the reso-
luton as reported,
Senator Culberson said he had intend

Harden the Wood.-There are many
who underestimate the lasting quality
of posts cut from catalpa groves of
less than five years growth However.
1t is a very common practice to cut
the trees when they are not sufficient
ly well formed for such use. A tree
should have sufficient time to harden,
no matter how large In diameter 1t
may be; and this is eventually found
to be right. While the catalpa Is quick
to mature into suitable timber 1t is
hardly ready for use as fence posts
at five years except in some isolated
cases. 1t would likely prove more sat
isfactory all around If the trees were
allowed to remain In the grove for ten
years.

glimpse of the running light of a
large ship slowly closing upon the
Flying Star. Other lights cleaned
from port holes here and there, bring

Capt Tuggles, with great spirit. I'm

To hesitate longer was madness. FL

trumpet to the deck and the next min

shot up into the wind and presently
lay still. On the ship-of-the-line Ellen
could hear the shrill whistling of pipes

crew of the cutter. Unless she acted

Deborah.

dim light burning from a lantern hang

down and opened the door of what she
deemed from her experience was the
captains room, and found she had
made correct guess. She took the
precaution to take the key out OF the
door. insert 1t on the inside of the
lock and turn it. The captains room
extended across the after part OF the
ship. The stern windows were large
