death bed to vote against the race
track gamblers and to drive them
from New York.
The Senator had just undergone
a surgical operation for append
citis. He voted against the gam
blers, and they were defeated by
his single ballot, the result stand
ing 26 for the bill that pronounced
their doom to % against 1t. Gov.
Hughes. of New York, recognized
the great service rendered by the
Senator in a letter expressing the
following:
Your courageous performance
of duty at so a grave risk de-
serves the highest praise, and will
long be pointed to as a fine illus
tration of fidelity and patriotic
devotion to the interests of the
State. | trust that you will not
suffer any i'll effects and that you
will soon be restored to your full
health and vigor."

commenting on the fact that Il bill
is now up in the Louisiana Legis-
lature to Danish race track gam
bling from the State, says:
IF Louisiana thus closes its
gates against the race track gam
bling fraternity they will have lost
one of their most important
stronghOlds. The midwinter rae
ing at New Orleans has heretofore
been an important feature of the
years programme. Of course,
there are other Southern cities
than New Orleans which may wei.
come the bookmakers, but the
refusal of Louisiana to entertain
the gamblers longer would greatly
hearten the friends of reform OF
all localities. With New York
and the District of Columbia clos
cd to the racing game the day OF
reckoning for this great evil Is
close at hand. The people of the
!, United States are coming to real
ize the folly of suppressing the
lottery as national institution
aud allow race track betting Il
replace it as a means of drawing
from the pockets of the people
annually millions of dollars tina
are needed for the purchase Of
necessities of life"
The State Senators of Louisian;
should not be less brave and de
voted to the protection of societ.
and faithful to duty than those o
New York. Let Us see if they ar
up to the mark and as able to vii

An Outrageous Congress.

An Outrageous Congress.
The Sixtieth Congress has
ceased to exist. At the closing
moments Vice-President Fair
banks thanked the Senate for do
ing its work so well. Speaker
Cannon paid the same pretty com
pliment to the house.
Representative Tawney, chair
man of the committee on appro-
priations, said in substance that
the government would not have
been so extravagant in expendl-
lures had it not been for the OBJ
struction tactics of the Democrats.
OF course. The Republicans have
had control of both houses and n
Republican executive and now
complain that they would have
done better only the Democrats
wouldn't let them. 1t is a diff
cult problem to know how to
manage those wicked Democrats
who won't allow Republicans to
do rs they choose aid for that
reason they (the Republicans are
compelled to plunge the country
into unheard of eXtravagant en-
penditure.
Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York,
ranking minority member of sp-
preparations, said the expenditure
was a shameful squandering OF
the public funds and that stag
gering deficit would result. lie
said further:
"Thls session has been the most
profligate in our history. Extra
vagance has run riot; the treasury
has been depleted; the public
money has been shamefully
squandered.
The responsibility rests with
the Republican party. 1t can not
eyade the issue. Every energy
seems to have been concentrated
upon the task of emptying the
treasury and of making imperative
the issuance of bonds by the next
administration or to defray the
ordinary expenditures of the gov
eminent. The dreaded handwrlt'
ing has apparently been seen upor
the wall aud the Republican party
Is demoralized and shaken"
In closing his address Mr.. Fitz
gerald said:
"This is government by party

Heart toHeart
Talks.
A FRoRN AND A SMILE.
By EDWIN a. NYH.
Copyright. 1908. By Edwin A. Nys.

Once upon a time. so the story goes,
a man had a vicious thought in his
heart, and it showed In his face. His
face was dark with hatred and a low
desire.
Other men looked on the forbiddlng
face and passed on. Some there were
who answered to the frown and passed
it on to others. And the way was
weary and dark for some that day.
On the same day a little child, wax
ing from a pleasant dream. looked up
into its mothers face and smiled. On
the mothers face came an answering
smile.
The smile on the mothers face was
Of the kind that would not come of.
And when she said goodby to the
father Of the child on the morning OF
that day the smile passed on to the
fathers face. And the man wore the
smile to his work. Like a lighted
candle inside a vase, it lightened the
face Of the man.
On the same day in the heart OF a
man lay a desperate deed. He saw
the fathers shining face. The man
wavered 'twixt the good and evil
thought and was saved from his des-
peration Another, weary of the strug
gle and on the verge of failing. looked
at the illumined face, and hope grew
again IN his soul.
A child crying in the streets looked
up through its tears to the radiant face
OF the man and ceased to weep.
A young girl. friendless and torn by
a pitiful strife between degradation
and starvation, looked on the face of
the strong man with the smiling face
and somehow found in her inmost soul |
the strength to resist temptation and
despair.
And each of these - the desperate /
man. the weary soul, the crying child,
the despairing girl - knew somehow
the power of that smile
Others, more prosperous less tempt /
ed, saw the fathers smile and passed .
it on, and on that day men and wo-
men and children were saved from
sadness and from the snare of the
tempter.
So the story runs.
And it is told that on that day the
little child who in the morning smiled
into the mothers face Haet pain and
sorrow. and the smile was replaced
with many tears. And the light on
the mothers face faded into fear And
the father had many cares that day.
But the smile Travelled on.
The frown, having done its worst
died out
The smile Travelled on.

THE DOG DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

THE DOG DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
The womSn's name was Maggie
Ryan.
Sullen eyed and defiant, she swept
into the police court. Her hair was
awry and her clothes were rumpled
from a night spent at the police sta
ton. You see, they don't provide very
| good toilet requisites at the police sta
! ton.
/ A little brown spaniel trotted at the
wOman's heels.
Maggie Ryan had slept or tried to
sleep on the hard bare confines of the
matrons room. Usually dOgs-real, for
sure dogs-are not admitted to the sta
ton. but something in the wOman's
wistful face caused the matron to let
this little dog in. He curled up con-
tentedly at the foot of the hard cot
where the woman lay. And when she
got up in the night and paced the room
he walked at her side.
In the morning the woman divided
her rough breakfast with the spaniel.
He was a hungry little dog.
With reckless bravadO and scorning

gle Ryan answered the judges ques-
tons. The dog stayed close. Maggie

Her eyes were hard and cynical Her
mouth was set in a severe, straight
line. Traces Of a one time beauty lin
gered. Dabs of face powder showed
too thick In some spots. The toilet
facilities at the station, we have al
ready explained, are not good.
The spaniel crouched close to the wo-
mans skirts.
Il Will give you until tonight to
leave town." said the judge. The judge
was kind hearted, and he had looked
often at the little spaniel. The wO-
man made a hooking bow, taking in
the spectators at court.
She started toward the door. From
there she would probably "hit the
rails''-Out Of town. out somewhere,

The little dog started too Briskly
he sprang to her side. Once he jumped
up and licked her hand.
For the first time that day the wo-
mans lip quivered. Her eyes sOftened |
They were almost beautiful eyes
when there were tears in them.
The woman's head dropped for an |
instant, and with one hand she furtive- /
" gave the dogs head a rough caress.
The station door swung behind them,
and they started down the street. The
little dog capered and then trotted
proudly along at the woman's side. AS
be lifted his brown eyes there was in
them a wonderful, worshipful look Of
love and devotion.
Because he was only a dog.
He loved this woman, his mistress
