WANTED-AS SOUL.

The other day 1 saw Browning
of the Fourteenth cavalry leaning
against the iron railing on the
Shelby street bridge. He was gaz-
ing listlessly at the rushing, muddy
current and | feared for a moment
that he might be tempted to rash
ness. But he sighed and moved ON
like a man in a melancholy dream.
That same evening | beheld the ex-
quisite, ripe beauty of Miss Bea-
trice Lanyon, of half a dozen places
besides Newport. The clever young
women of the press have married
her to a regiment of counts, and
you would think Miss Lanyon as
happy as happy can be. But, for
my part, l am sure she is very sad.
1t was a year ago that Browning

noisiest thoroughfare in the big
town. 1t was Saturday night and
the glimmer and dazzle of electric
lights of every rainbow color made
the street a blaze of light. From
every quarter came the squeaking
of monographs, the bark of the
blase spieler, the tin pan tinkle OF
pianos long out of tune.
We had gone two blocks through
the blare and the glare and we
were both rather disguised.

ing the girl in the center. isn't
that a fresh, sweet face?"
She was slender, graceful and
probably IS. Her glorious brown
hair fell in great heaps upon her
rounded pink shoulders, and her big
gray eyes cried out for sympathy

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
MAKES FEW BRIEF REMARKS

washington, April 2G-Before
adopting special rule which pro-
vides for considering and passing The
sundry civil appropriation bin after
eight hours general debate, the house
today listened to Mr.. Williams. the
minority leader, in an explanation OF
the filibuster he is conducting.
The filibuster he said, will end the
moment the house gives permission
fer the consideration Of the cam
palgn publicity bill; bill to nut
wood pulp and print paper on the
free list, and the anti-injunction bin.
Thes'. measures, Mr. Williams insist
ed, were all a part of the presidents
legislative program Every roll which
was taken was only an emphasis,
which the country understood to be
the lack of action by the republican
majority. The filibuster, Mr.. VIII
Jams said, in conclusion. would con-
tlnue until the desired results were
accomplished. That it was not DELAY
ing business was evidenced by the fact
that supply bills were now further
along than usual at this time in long
session.
