The Waist Buttoner.

oh, sing, all ye husbands and over
worked maids,
Who buttons up waists in the back.
No matter what may be our ages and
grades.
Who button up waists in the back.
For now a device there is coming to
town,
Which will chase from your faces the
scowl and the frown.
And the shirtwaisted problem do up
very brown,
For it buttons up waists in the back.
With one sweeping touch it will go at
it's work
And buttons up waists in the back.
Its labor it never will shuttle nor shirk
In buttoning up waists In the back.
But twill go at slim damsel or corpu-
lent dame.
AS though it were playing a lightning
skin game.
And have in a fifty, neat fastened the
same,
Their waists buttoned up in the
back.
No more shall hiatus of widening space
In waists buttoned up in the back.
The haste Of the dresses in cruel plain
ness trace
When buttoning their waists in the
back;
And no more need stray pins a lover
alarm
When feeling entranced with a fair
ones sweet charm,
He puts with misgiving an embracing
arm
Round the waist buttoned up In the
back.

MARINES TAKE
DRYDEN TROPHY
Uncle Sans Boys Keep Up
Lucky Streak and Win Most
Important Event

SEA GIRT, N. j., Sept 12.-With =
margin Of only ten points. the United
States Marine Corps team won the
Dryden trophy match. the most impor-
tant contest of the big rifle tourna-
ment, by a total score Of 1888. 1t was
an exceptionally we'll contested match.
and the shooting of the winning team
is deserving of the highest commenda-
tion for the work at the long range
was better than in the previous years.
Last year. when the match was won
by the United States Cavalry the ag-
gregate Of the team was 1901.
The Ohio team finished at the end
Of the 2OO-yard stage of the match
with total of 347 New Jersey finish
place with a total of 346. The Marine
Corps team was six points behind the
Buckeye rihemen in the 6O0-yard end
ing, but at one thousand yards. the
Marines displayed their superiority on
the longer ranges. Captain McDougall
had a possible, and Sergeant Burdette
and Sergeant Deloach both had 40.
while the lowest score on this range
was A. that of Corporal Snow.
Couldn't Keep Up Pace
Lieutenant SnaW, OF the Onlted
States Infantry. also made a possible
at 1000 yards, but others on this team
did not keep up the pace he set, so
that the infantry failed to get better
than third place.
New Jersey suffered at 500 yards by
three men on the team shooting on
wrong targets and thus losing the
value of the shots which they fired.
Thirteen points were lost in this fash
ion, much to the regret Of the team,
and the Jerseymen in general. With
these thirteen points the team would
have taken third instead of fourth
place.
The victory of the United States
Marine Corps team was a fitting cli-
max to their exceptionally fine shoot
ing, and the work of the team Is
gratifying to w. c. Harlle. the cap
tain.

with a famous French restaurant in that
city. A cupful of stale bread cut In dice

thoroughly, seasoned with salt, pepper
and minced parsley. and are turned over
the bread and cooked until the bottom is
brown.

The secret OF the delicious mutton chops
served at an Adirondack hotel by a French
chef is this: The chops are rounded at the
ends and are pounded tender with a cleav-
er. They are then sprinkled with salt
cayenne pepper and black pepper and are
broiled over charcoal. They are served on
a hot dish with a sauce of butter seasoned
with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice

| Employers Liability Act and the stat
ute under consideration, and has tina
act established a precedent by which
this statute must be regarded as I'm
| constitutional@
At first sight the Employers Liza
| bility Act appears similar in the prin
ciples to be applied in its execution
| to the act under consideration, but
| upon examination these apparent sim
ilarities disappear; the one being an
| attempt to deal with matters relating
| to the rights of indivuals which in
| clude incidents beyond the jurisdiction
| of the United States, while the other
is an act based on clear constitutional
authority and aimed to protect the
purity of Federal elections, and oper-
ative only in such elections; the mere
fact that State officials and legisla-
tors are voted for at the same cleo
tions by State enactment for State
convenience, not being deemed by the
Supreme Court to be any ground for
defeating the object of the law.
In the case of Elk parte Yarbrough,
enprq, 1aThr0ugh and Others we're
charged with conspiracy to 1nfi,ni'iate
a cOlored citizen of the United States
ard prevent him from exercising his
right of voting in an election for
member of Congress. The fact that
this was an election for State officers
also, made no difference as to the con
stitutionalitv of the act under which
the charge was brought, and the writ
was denied.
The law under which the present case
is brought makes it lawful to make
money contribution in connection with
an election in which Federal officers
or legislators are voted for. The mere
fact that State officers and legislators
are also to be voted for at such election
does not. according to the precedents
to. defeat the law or deprive
the United States of the power to for
bid such contributions where they may
affect the election of its own officers
and legislators.
The defendant in its brief makes the
following additional point "Can Con-
gress legislate against contributions by
State corporations"
The power of Congress to make regu
Iations for the conduct of elections
being paramount to all State authority
affecting this subject. may reach State |

shown above is complete to the extent
of furnishing such officers for violations
of Federal regulations of these elec.
tions.
There is no showing made by the de.
PENDANT which justifes the contention
that the law on which this case is based
is unconstitutional
Under the foregoing considerations,
the demurrer is allowed as to the first
count of the information, on the ground
that the defendant is not Corpora
tion organized by authority of any laws
of Congress; and is allowed as to the
second count on the ground that an
election within the Territory of Hawaii
for a delegate to Congress is not within
the statute under which these proceed
ings are brought.
