five years maintained that record.

cured "a box. They benefited him in

Man.

A mans life is full OF crosses and
temptations He comes into the
world without his consent and goes
out against his will, and his journey
is exceedingly rocky and beset with
strange and contradictory exper-
fences. When he is little the big
girls kiss him, but when he is big
the little girls kiss him. When a
child he wants candy but can't get
it, when a man he can get candy
but doesn't want it. When a boy he
wishes he were a man, when grown
he wishes to be a boy again. If he
raises a large family he is a chump,
if he raises a check he is a thief. If
he is poor, he is a bad manager; If
he is rich he is dishonest. If he is
in politics, its for pie; if out of poll
tics you cant place him and he is
no good to his country. If he
doesn't give to charity he is a s.ingy
cuss; if he does, it's for show. If
he dies young there was a great flu
ture in store for him; il he lives to
an old age, he mas missed his calling
If he is actively religious he lis a hyp-
ocri,e; if he takes no interest in re-
ligion he Is d hardened sinner. If he
shows affection he is a soft specimen;
if he seems to have none he is cold
blooded.
If he goes to a theater regularly
he is a sinner, if he goes to church
he is a hypocrite. If he goes TO
lodge he has a nagging wife, II he
stays at home he is henpecked. II
he wears a fraternity emblem he is
trying to use the fraternity; If he
does not he is ashamed of his order.
If he takes an active interest IN
lodge, church, or club, he is trying
to run it; If no interest, then he
never was any good and ought not
to have been admitted. II he mar
ries he is fool, if he doesn't he is a
bigger fool. When he's dead and bur-
led, he was pretty good fellow after
al but --ad infinitum.

AS Miss Ida Greeley-Smith, the

Denhane Lane, came off the stage,
she was informed that a colored wo-
man had been waiting at the stage
door, asking to see her.
"a cOlored woman to see me?
That's strange" said Miss Greeley
Smith. What can she want?"
"She insists upon seeing you and
says she can't leave without a word"
said the stage manager. "She is a
nice, respectful old southern darkey
and 1 don't think there's anything sus
picious about it"

Greeley-Smith, looking questionally at
the colored woman who was brought
to her dressing room.
For a moment the woman gazed at
the vision OF loveliness, and tears
filled her eyes.

The Congressional Committee
Breaks Precedent by Is
suing Document.

Washington July 1.-The Democratic
Congressional Committee has broken
IFS record in the issuance Of a hand
book four months before the presiden-
tial elections. This publication con-
tains, in nearly 400 pages, extracts of
speeches made in Congress during the
last session, most of chem during the
month preceding the adjournment.
The issuance of this publication is
an innovation on the part of the com
mittee, and is in line with a similar
publication put out by the Republican
Congressional Committee four years
ago 1t is the work of Representa-
tive Lloyd, of Missouri, chairman OF
the Congressional Committee, and
composed exclusively of congressional
speeches and consequently can be
franked by members of Congress.
After the Denver convention has
been held the National Democratic
Committee will:issue the regular hand
book as usual. The present publica-
ton by the Congressional Committee,
however, is of special interest in defin
ing what it Is believed at this time
will be the issues of the campaign.
Republican Extravaganza" is appar
emily to be the keynote of the cam
paign, as 1t is given the first place in
the handbook. Representative Fitz-
gerald, of New York. and Senator Gull
bertson, OF Texas, provided the ma
terial in this chapter In their
speeches delivered during the last
days of the session. r...
Financial and Industrial Condi-
lions" form the second subject treat
ed in 5he book. Senator owen, of Ok
lahoma, and Representatives Clark, of
Missouri; Houston, of Tennessee;
Lloyd, of Missouri; James Of Ken
lucky; Garrett, OF TENNESSEE. andHam
lin, OF Missouri, all contributed to this
subject.
To the Tariff and Trusts" are de-
voted about eighty pages of the book.
Federal Usurpation," Currency Re
FORM" philippine Policy" Tyranny
OF the Speakers and Rules Committee
OF the House of Representatives" IRE
publican Responsibility" are all sub
jects considered at length.
The Alarming Conditions" that
face the country are commented upon,

marine and the election of United
States Senators by popular vote con-
clude the category of subjects.
The committee regards its chapter
on Republican Responsibility" as Of
special importance and quotes a speec'
by Representative Sherman, of New
York, vice presidential candidate on
the Republican ticket. Mr.. De Ar
mond asserted in the House of Repre-
sentatives on April s, that the Re
publican majority in Congress in
both branches was so pronounced as
to make that party wholly responsible

but for that which is not done in the
way of legislation and administration"
