How Younq Girls Made Money.

Two young girls. one Is and the IT, tell of their experience in making money at home. They lived in a small town where many persons made their own gardens. so they started tomato plants in the house and had nice stalky plants to sell when they were needed. They netted $25 from the plants alone. They started the seeds in February, planting them in cheese boxes. After they sprouted. the strong ones were retained and the weaker ones weeded out When 1t was time to remove them to hot bed ip the garden they lifted the plants and did not lose many by replanting them. They sold rapidly.

ED TO TAKE HIS SEAT.

The Senate late yesterday afternoon
voted to receive the credentials OF John
Walter Smith. who was elected Senator
from Maryland Tuesday. and to allow him
to be sworn in. Mr.. Smith took the oath
of ONCE at once. This action was the re-
suit Of heated wrangle lasting about
four hours and pushing aside all other
business for the time.
The vote by which the final decision was
reached was - to %. 1t was victory for
Senator Rayner of Maryland. who under
took to get his colleague seated notwith-
standing the strenuous objections, on
legal grounds. by Senator Burrows. chair
man of the committee on privileges and
elections. Senator Knox, a member of that
committee, Senator Lodge, and others 1t
developed into a lively fight for votes be-
tween Senators Burrows and Rayner.
When Senator Rayner finally moved
that Mr.. Smiths credentials be taken
from the table and that he be sworn in.
and Senator Burrows offered a substitute
to send the question at once to the COM
mittee without allowing Mr.. Smith 10
take his seat, a roll call was ordered and

HOME FOR HELPLESS.
Institution for Care of Feeble Mind.
ed and Imbecile Children.

A bill to establish a psychopatic pavil-
lion and home for feeble-minded. imbe-
cile and idiotic children in the District Of
Columbia Is being considered by the Com
mssioners. This legislation has been rec
commended by the District board of char
tiles. and the necessity of psychopathic
pavilion, where persons in the early
stages of insanity and those suffering
from mental strains and severe nervous
ness can be treated, has been recognized
by the Commissioners for some time.
The bill which the Commissioners are
considering. as drafted by the board OF
charities provides only for the treatment
of INDECENT residents of the District. Com
missioner West has recommended that the
word INDECENT be struck out and that
provision be made for the care and treat
ment of all residents of the District. 1t
is his idea to have those pay who are in
a position TO do SO. This method, he says.
will aid in maintaining the institution by
means of the revenue to be derived from
the caring for pay patients" His sug-
gestion will be referred to the board OF
charities.
The bill provides for an appropriation
of 10000 for the erection Of the psychic
pathic pavilion to be created on a site
owned by the District on Brlghtwood ave-
nue. northwest The sum of $4,000 Is pro-
vided for the erection of home for the
feeble-minded children on a site owned by
the District at Blue Plains. d. C..

WILL AID PRESIDENT
DEMOCRATS SUPPORT EXECU
TIVE ON CERTAIN QUESTIONS.

Representative John Sharp Williams Of
Mississippi. leader of the minority in the
House of Representatives, has issued a
written statement to the press defining
the attitude of the democratic party in
the House toward legislation urged by
President Roosevelt in his messages to
Congress at the present session.
The statement describes what republican
legislation the democrats will support.
what they will oppose and what con-
the majority as the price of refraining
from an organized flibuster throughout
the remainder of the session
Mr.. Williams says. Some things in the
Presidents recent message are SO imme-
diateIy important to the interests of the
entire country AS to pass the bounds Of
partisanship and to make 1t excusable. If
not necessary, for me To- say something
concerning them with tie view of assur-
ing the President himself and reasona bly,
inclined republican members of the House
and the country of the support and in
dorsement, or the opposition, of the demo-
cratic minority. In SO far as the things
urged by the President are good things
would like the country to know that all
he has to do is to deliver 20 or % repub-
lican House votes in favor OF them. These
will put them through"
Mr.. Williams notes the following meas
ures as ones which will command vir-
tually the solid democratic vote within
constitutional limits
To compel publication of campaign con-
tributions.
Prohibition of child labor in the Dis
trict Of Columbia and the territories
An employers liability law, drawn to
conform TO the recent decision of the
Supreme Court.
Federal liability to government en-
ployes.
law to prohibit the issuance of in
functions without notice to the party
enjoined
Removal of the tariff on wood pulp and
printing paper.
Imposition of federal charge for
every water-power right granted on a
naviga BILE stream.
Those principles and measures urged by
the President with which Mr. Williams.
as minority leader, takes issue are emu
merated as follows:
The penalizing of the boycott
The right of the Attorney General to
nominate receivers when a common car
rier Is thrown into the hands of q re-
ceiver.
The modification of the Sherman anti
trust law so to permit. within limit a.
ton. the maintenance OF trusts and the
making of trade agreements between
combinations of capital
The appointment Of commission to
prepare data for a revision of the tariff
Mr.. Williams frankly states that he
does not know whether a majority of the
minority favors the creation of q perma
nent waterways commission.

an island in the Mississippi river short distance above Memphis. It consists of a very large body of very fine land. which makes Tennessee look upon it with as longing eyes as the state of Ark ansas. The ownership has been contested in the Arkansas courts, and the Supreme court has de- cided the island is a possession of Arkansas. The same proceed ure has taken place in Tennessee, with the decision that the island is the property of that state. The suit was then filed in the Federal court in Memphis, where again it was decid ed the island belongs to Tennessee. Now the case is in an Arkansas Federal court, with a new dress, hoping for favor able decision on this side of the river. On account of the ex- treme value of the land, the Su- preme court of the United States will have to pass upon the mat ter finally before the contest ends.

A man says that a great deal Of I'M
intentional entertaining takes place
among women. Women-when they are
by themSelves-it appears, lack indie
pendenCe Of action. They cannot shake
on one they have met moment or two
ago with a nod. when they want to
lunch by themselves. The spirit Of do
mestic hospitality is too strong. In a
weak mOment-for II Is painfully weak
they insist on paying for the company
and the food OF an acquaintance they
had merely meant to be civil 70.
OF course. this sort OF thing seems
almost tnCompTehensible TO a man. IN
vitatiOns, in mems clubs, say, have TO
he backed by a pretty sound reason.
The pleasant sort OF fellow who waited
about for some sensitive man on whom
TO insinuate his appetite would soon find
himself living hungry life.
This is certainly "a strange and dis
turning insight into the manners and
customs Of women 1t goes against
ones observation, too. Women usually
appear to be quite conscious that they
are doing an independent thing in an
independent spirit.
