Cleaning Windows With Whisky.


John S. Cox, president of the Ten
nessee Senate, had an old negro SER
want who liked his drink just rs well
as the best Kentucky colonel in the
Blue Grass State. One morning, just
after the cold spell broke, the darky
came to Senator Cox.

Senator.
Use got ter hab half tumbler
OBJ whisky, Marse John. Dire ain't t

The half tumbler was promptly
given Caesar, who armed himself
with some rags and carried the
whisky to another room to begin
work. A few minutes afterwards
Senator Cox had occasion to enter
his room. Caesar was busy polish
ing the windows. The tumbler was
on the table, but no whisky in it,
why, Caesar, what has become
of the whisky?" asked the Senator
II thought you used it in this work. y

Who And What is Congress?
n. Y. World.

The voters of this country may
learn from an interview quoted by
John Worth Kern in his speech of
acceptance just what sort of a Con-
greSS we have now, and what we will
have next year if the Republicans
get u majority in the House of Re
preSentiveS to be elected in Novem-
Der.
In short, Mr.. Speaker Cannon will
continue to be the whole House of
Representatives, as he has been ever
since the late Congressman Hender-
son 5 revolt against the Iowa Idea
elevated the Congressman from the
Eighteenth Illinois District to the
SpeakerShip.
In the interview mentioned Mr.
Cannon blunt tly informed Il committee
chairman that the only way to get
Il certain bill before the House would
hc to elect another Speaker; that he
had been placed in the chair To as
sumo responsibility for legislation,
and that he would not assume respOn-
Sibility for a measure which he did
not believe in, even though u ma
jority of the House might want to
pass it.
These words were not necessary
to throw light upon the working OF
the House under the dictatorship
which the Republican majority have
conferred upon its presiding officer.
The methods by which the House is
voted have been apparent enough in
the course of the Speaker and in his
acts of suppression.
But it is new doctrine that the
Speaker is elected to assume respon-
sibility for the legislation of the
House. There used to be notion
drawn from the Constitution of the
United States that the Speaker was
chosen simply to preside over the de
alterations of the House, that all bills
that had the approval Of the major
! ity would be passed.
If the voters wish to continue the
new system in which the Speaker is
the whole House, while the 39l mem
bers are nobodics. they will give the
Republicans majority Of the House
in the SiXty-tirst Congress, but not
otherwise.

ADVICE TO BLUE STOCKING

thcrly Advice to Budding Genius.

1t was the noon hour in the STAND
ARD Office, and the clasoir-fcaturrd
comp had wandered into the rdi-
torlaI tOol-room of its editor, Nh
John Miller Murphy, and was sitting
at the desk Glancin@ over exchanges.
when he looked up and discovered IL
young woman standing in the door
way.
Is this the editor?" she asked.
No, madam, he replied: - sup
pose YOU have an original story. and
want Mr. Murphy to commune with
it; Judging from the manuscript You
have, written in violet ink and tied
with baby-bmc ribbon"
Yes, - replied the young woman.
L have just returned from q vaca-
sion at Moclips-by-th the-sea, and
while there wrote a story which
mamma thinks splendid"
Is there anything in it about the
white pebbles. the pink-tinted shells
on the beach, the shifting sand or
the leaves turning to golden, and
the velvety green of the leaves look
ing sere and brown? Because if
there is, it won't do. The dull-red-
glow of the-dying-cm racket is
what we Shall show the public from
now until autumn. Got any dying
embers in your story"
No, sir; mine is love story
That's all right. The dull, red.
glow of dying embers work in beau
tifully in love story"
But why must | write my story
in that particular style?" asked the
young woman.
Because it's the season for it.
You want to start out by saying that
as Gerald Nonesuch, the rich banker,
sat in his magnificently furnished
parlor, and gazed thoughtfully into
the dull red embers of the dying
fire in the CRATE, there came troop
ing up from the dim vista of an al
most forgotten past, memories-Sad,
sad memOrieS-that caused the un-
hidden tear to start. Don't make
any mistake about the tear business;
and be sure to have only one tear,
because that's the orthodox style in
stories. And be certain it is an un-
hidden tear A tear that had re-
ceived a cordial invitation to be
present and start wouldn't do at all.
Then say that the old man s thoughts
wandered back to the happy days of
his childhood. Be certain to have
them wander back. If you were to
say that his thoughts went back the
story would be spoiled. Wander
is the correct style. Then when you
get the old man back to his happy
boyhood days you want to trot out
Nellie. -
"Trot out who?"
Nellie-little Nellie Gray-with
her great blue eyes and golden hair
the playmate of his youth that he
loved SO dearly and always looked
upon rs his future wife. Then lug
out another unbidden tear, and fin
ally have the old man break down in
storm of sobs."
It's very sad, ism t it?' said the
young woman. Nellie died, l sup
pose, and the old mans heart is
breaking"
No. said the sporting editor;
Nellie married another man."
Then what makes the banker
wcep?"
"Sympathy for the other man."

A DREAM.

| thought was within the grave,
My body turned to dust;
! asked, What will my memory save,
And keep it bright and just?"
OF all the actions | had done.
What was the deed divine?
Had any seed its beauty won,
To like lily shine?
And little was there of my life,
To boast about as best;
But this was brightest, dearest wife.
That we had borne loves test.
For we together, side by side,
Had worked as one in love,
And this it was, when l had died,
Grew like a rose above!

would be advisable to provide a legar

United States In the future, when the
canal has been completed.
Senator Kittredge asked Mr.. Taft
whether he had any recommendation

The secretary replied that he thought
there should be an appeal from the
courts Of the zone to the supreme
court Of the United States. but with
that exception he had no recommends

Of the canal had been completed, he
thought, there should be a comprehen-
