Can Speak When Occasion Demands

Can Speak When Occasion Demands.
The mere faculty for defamation is
Of no consequence in the senate. There
are senators who can talk for hours
and never change vote or add to the
sum total of the knowledge of the
body. Kittredge is no wind jammer,"
no orator hopping up at his desk every
few days and discussing interminably
whatever is before the senate. He
rarely makes a speech, but when he
does make one it is packed with spe-
citic knowledge, crammed with facts,
logical, pointed. and is heard with the
utmost attention by the senate as a
| body. Witness his celebrat ID speech
on the imposltions of the lumber trust.
| He had made an exhaustive study of
that grinding monopoly. He intro
duced a resolution demanding an in
| vestigation of this criminal conspiracy
that increased the cost of lumber to
his constituents until building became
| practically prohibitorv to the men on
the farms and ranches and in the
| cities and towns of South Dakota as
well as in every other part of the
country, and he followed the introduce
ton of that resolution with a speech
that was a terrific indictment of this
conspiracy to increase the price of
lumber beyond all reason and that was
backed by incontrovertible evidence,
gathered by the senator himself, i'm
weeks of patient work, that what he
said was true. The resolution was
passed and the department of COM
merce and labor is now making the
investigation, basing its initial in
quiries on the mass of information
collected by Senator Kittredge. 1t is
predicted that the result will be a
curbing of the rapacity of the lumber
trust and the restoration of a reason
able price TO all saw mill products. As
result of this movement against this
monopoly 1t is alleged that the lumber
trust has decreed that Senator Kilt
redge shall not be returned to the
senate and is using all its great power
to defeat him in the coming primaries.
His Imprint on Legislation
Another important work of Senator
Kittredge in the senate has been his
long investigation OF the complicated
subject of copyrights and trade marks,
which came under him in his capacity
as chairman of the committee on pat
ents, a position he has just relin-
| pushed TO go to the head of the SUI
premely important committee on in
| teroceanic canals. Senator Kittredge's
researches into the important subject
OF proper governmental protection for
| the fruits of the genius of an inventor
or a composer or writer or a painter
| or artist will be the basis of new COPY
right legislation which will give every
man in the United States who has an
| idea ample protection from the pirates
who now steal his ideas and profit by
his brains. The trade mark act Of Feb
| ruary 20, 1905, Is the creation of his
| brain and industry. and his copyright
bill will become law with little, IL any,
modification. as 1t has the support OF

Nelson's Siqnalman.

1t was in the winter of 1916 that
Nelson's signalman--the man who
hoisted the famous ENGLAND ex-
pects," etc.-was discovered by one
who had served as surgeon on board
the Tonnant at Trafalgar. The sig
mailman, John Roo1ne, was selling
water cress and red herrings in
Blackfriars. He had deserted from
the navy after the battle, and this
had disqualified him for a pension,
but representations were made to
Captain Pasco, signal lieutenant on
the Victory at Trafalgar, who used
his influence on ths old mans be-
half. Captain Pasco was at first
unsuccessful. He was informed by
the authorities that there were
many more deserving candidates for
Greenwich. Shortly afterward, how
ever, room was found at Greenwich
hospital for old John. Had he lived
in our time he would probably have
received a princely salary for re-
peating the signal nightly at music
halls.-London Chronicle.
Winter Vetch.
vetches are useful crop, good feed
and great soil improvers. There are
both winter and spring varieties. The
winter vetch is the only one that will
do anything in the south, and even
that has not always been successful
where tried. 1t would seem, however.
that all of east Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana ought to be adapted to the
winter vetch. Possibly it needs only
incubation to get it properly started

while sitting in his Office at Wash

learned that she had come to ask
for the pardon of her son, who was
to be punished for most serious

to see her. because he felt that the

want to wound the mothers feel

MansfieId's Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were
talking in New York about the late
Richard Mansfield.
'Mr. Mansfield" said one, "was a
delightful humorist, a splendid ra-
contour in society, but at the same
time he bad certain proper and be-
coming sense of his own dignity
and it never paid to be unduly ia
miliar with him.
'He was, as we all know, rather
bald. He resented, from BARRIERS or
friends, any alusion to his bald
ness.
"Well, one night at a party man
came up behind this great artist,
staggered him with a violent slap
on the back and exclaimed in a
loud, jovial, familiar voice:
"'Hello, Dick! How are you?
Every time see you you get balder
and balder.'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hellop he said. Z don't know
who you are, but every time l see
you you get ruder and ruder.'"

maker and Full of Action.
One person represents the hunts
man. The other players call them
selves after some part of hunts
mans belongings. For instance,
one is the cap, another the horn,
others the powder flask, gun, coat,
etc.
A number of chairs are arranged
in the middle of the room, and there
must be one chair less than the
number of players, not counting the
huntsman.
The players then seat themselves
around the room, while the hunts
man stands in the center and calls
for them, one at time, in this way:
EfPowder fask!" At once powder
flask rises and, going behind the
huntsman, takes hold of his coat.
"Capp' 'fGunp' "Shot!' "Belt" the
huntsman cries. Each person who
represents these articles must rise
and take hold of the player sum
moned before him until at length
the huntsman has a long line be-
hind him. He then begins to run
around the chairs until he suddenly
cries, EsBangp when the players all
sit down. OF course as there are
not enough chairs one player is left
standing, and he must pay forfeit
or change places with the hunts

Tho GiIa Monster.

The gila monster is one of the
most repulsive looking creatures in
existence. 1t is a large lizard with
orange and black spots and is found
in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas,
mostly in the sandy desert lands.
Its terrible appearance has helped
perhaps to give it the reputation it
has of being one of the most poi
sonous things that crawl, but it real
ly is not so, as a rule, to a man that
is in good physical condition. To
small animals and birds, however,
its bite is rapidly fatal. Most ZOO
logical gardens contain one or more
specimens.

1t is certain that the demand for pea

cient to cause steady advance in the
price. Virginia is the largest producer
