Uncle Joe" had it made into a suit
which made him the envy of every
man in the house. Since that time Mr..
Aiken has been able TO get recognition
and postofiices whenever he wanted
them, but he has been besieged by a
score of members for cloth enough to
make suit like Uncle Joe's."
Last spring when he went home he
engaged the old woman to make all
the homespun she could during the
summer. The result was three suit
ings. These Mr.. Aiken brought up
to- Washington and presented TO
Representative Ryan of New York.
Representative Lee of Georgia and
Representative Griggs of Georgia
These three, with the speaker and Mr..
Aiken. will form the charter member

applicants will be admitted when the
old woman turns out some more jeans
1t is costing Mr.. Aiken lot for uni
forms. but he doesn't mind that for he
gets everything else he wants.

CHARMING NEcKWEAR
EASILY FASHIONED
IN LEISURE HOURS.

The woman with nlmble fingers and
a little time can fashion herself the
most fascinating and charming neck
wear imaginable II she will only
study the latest neckwear dis
played in the fashionable shops. The
coming winter did not by any means
abate the popularity of dainty white
neckwear. IL anything. it increased.
until every well-dressed woman now
has some bit of launderable linen at
her throat. II surely is an attractive
fashion. for II gives womankind that
immaculate look that comes only with
the Numbered stock or linen collar.
The most popular styles are the vari-
sbons OF the Marie Antoinette frills
and jabots OF lace and linen and lace.
To make one OF the most fashion
able OF these jabots you will need

HAIR RIBBONS IN
COlORS SUITABLE
FOR SMALL MAIDEN.

For quite small girls, whose heads
are bobbed. dainty pink or blue bow
that ties the lock off the face. the
loops coming on the left side, is a
pretty decoration.
A very fair child Of five years OF age
is the only type to whom the colors
are more becoming than white.
Little brunettes and those consid-
cred neither blonde nor dark will be
all the more attractively costumed for
a touch of delicate shade In their
dresses.
Next to all-white hair ribbons come
those in Dresden designs and pompa-
dour effects. Those. too, give an
agreeable finish TO the white toilet. but
when the frock is of Powered orgaa.
die or similar fabric plain ribbons OF
the prevailing color in the dress are
best
Very delicate colors in hair ribbons
should be used when the hair is
dressed to roll back from the face and
is tied just at the back OF the ears.
This brings the bows close to the face
and decided colorings are not always
becoming in plquant little features.
White, of course, may always be re-
lied upon. blue is comparatively safe.
but pink or green should be used With
caution.

VII ASHINGTON.--lf one is inclined
w TO doubt whether the American
people are interested in the proceed
ings OF congress he should become a
reader of the Congressional Record
and note the number of petitions and
memorials that come up 10 the legisla-
tive body daily from every section Of
the country. From two to four pages
of every days Record are filed with
the suggestions from the people. And
II may be said that congress is dis
posed to listen to these petitions and
memorials. There was a time when
such communications were treated
lightly. Not so now. The first thing
every senator and representative does
when he reaches his office In the morn
ing is to have his secretary compile
the advice that has come in from con-
stituents during the last "a hours. The
documents are then presented to the
senate or house as the case may be,
are printed In the Record and then re-

Congressman Listen to Suggestions

ferred to the appropriate committee.
Committees, too. have come TO pay
heed 10 these petitions and memo
rails. The written suggestions that
come in are looked upon as a sort OF
barometer TO public sentiment. And
what member OF congress Is not al
ways anxious TO learn the drift OF pub
lie sentiment In his district touching
any public question?
An examination OF the files OF the
senate and house shows that the reti-
tions and memorials come from all
kinds OF people IL frequently occurs
that more than 10000 names are rep
resented on the petitions that reach
the senate In a single day.
Over in the house the petitions are
even more numerous. From 1000 10
Is. 600 names are represented on the
petitions that reach that body daily
during the first weeks OF congress.
AS a rule the petitions sent to con
gress are not worked up" The petit
lions generally show on their races
whether they are ready made'-snat
is TO say, whether they have been so
licited. Senators and representatives
say that 80 per cent. OF the petitions
that come 10 them are not the result
of any organized effort on the part OF
persons or corporations who want to
get legislation through congress.

THE STORY.

lad the prophet Nathan been alive
ii perchance King Solomon would not
have transgressed the law OF God so
grievously and gone after the gods
whom the fair wives OF his harem
worshiped. Nathan had always held
a strong influence over his royal mas
ter, and up 10 the time of his death
had maintained the spiritual condi-
lions OF the kingdom at a compare
lively high level. but when Nathan
was gone. other influences were soon
at work TO turn the heart of the king
in other directions than that Of the
worship and service of the true God.
Chief among these influences was
that Of the many beautiful women
whom King Solomon had taken TO
wife among the nations about. More
and more was II apparent that in the
absence OF the strong influence of Ma
than the power OF the women over the
king was becoming stronger and
stronger. In fact. in the course Of
time as King Solomon got along in
years il became a recognized fact that
the quickest way TO secure favor
from him was to obtain II through the
INTERPRETATION OF one Of his favorite
wives.
II is not strange, therefore, that one
Of the marked changes which should
have taken place had to do with the
religious condition OF the people, for
not one OF the heather princesses
who had been taken to wife by Solo,
mon but had brought with her her
gods. and with the ascendancy of their
influence over Solomon came the re
quest that high places be built for
these gods where public worship
might be held And when the favor
tie women had all been thus provided
for. there came the clamor from the
other women that their gods be hon
ored in a similar way. and that high
places be built in which they might
worship.
Ahijah the prophet OF God had long
been watchirv the trend OF events,
and his mind was deeply troubled

Senate Investigation from Car Window

with vigor. So he took another flying
trip to Providence. r. I. This time
1t cost the senate contingent fund
$51.O5.
On October 3, A. p. Shelton hap
pened to think Of going to New York
on his way to Providence. r. l., TO in
vestigate the revenue receipts. and az
cordingly took a three-day trip TO
Providence via New York" Cost.
s46.10.
On November Mr. Shelton tried
the scheme of investigating the reve-
nue. receipts by going first to Provi-
dence, r. l., and returning on the third
day via New York city" Cost. $3.50.
On December the experiment OF
going direct to Providence and re-
turning through New York was re-
peated. 1t must have been a success.
for 1t took but two days TO be back in
Washington, and 1t cost the govern
ment but s43.75.
But on January 3. 1907. tie FIRST
method of investigating New York's
customs revenues-namely from the
car window-was resumed, and Mr.
Shelton ran on to Providence and
back without disembarking in wicked
Gotham. Cost TO Uncle Sam. 1865.
Now. isn't 1t funny that Mr.. Aid
richs secretary should have to go to
Providence, R. l., every time he
wanted to investigate the New York
customs revenues? And isn't 1t funny
that an investigation authorized In
March. 1905. should not begin until
August. 1902 And should not cease
until January. 1907? And should not
then produce any report?
