"Why," said Mrs. oldcastle, q thought your slster-in-law had recent ly undergone a serious operation, yet saw her out in her automobile this morning"

From his upstairs window the judge. with the little green god" at his el- bow, watched them cross the lawn and disappear. Half an hour later having exchanged his dark travelling suit for the delectable gray, he went down stairs and joined the crowd on the veranda.

 Your idea Is In order Ted" approy- ed Diana, with a charming dlmple which the judge registered against her in his heart "Are there any more vol unteers?"
 There were five. Four more were started out separately to walk around the square In quest of their afiinitles, while Teddy ana Molly Perkins disap- peared in search of a looking glass
 Tt looks as If we are in for what the well will reveal" laughed Diana as Judge Underwood came up to her.
 You are the general" he said, land I'm reporting for orders" The week 8 intimacy had put them on terms of the most friendly compaionshIp, although long ago the judge had consigned his foolish hopes to the dead past.
 But Diana, who had never been very astute in arithmetic, was doubly so in mind reading, and she penetrated the Judges most sacred thoughts with subtle divlnatlon. Then" said she, If you're a good soldier you will go down to the old well in the corner of the cabbage field, glance in and turn away quickly, coming as fast as you can back to the house. Walt till you hear the clock strike g. And she left him before he could protest.
 For an instant the judge stood gag Ing after her with wistful, troubled eyes. Then, summoning his dignity and his courage-he slipped, unnotiGed, through one of the low windows and walked leisurely down to where the old well loomed, a dilapidated hulk, from which all water had been drawn, in the half light of the dilatory stars.
 He paused a second, with his hand on the crumbling bucket shelf. Then he took deep breath and looked down Into a solemn pair of unwinking brown eyes. His heart gave a terrific, most unmagisterlal thrOb, and then the judge did very arbitrary thing. He delib- erately struck a match throwing It's bright yellow glare across two crim- son cheeks, shining nest of golden brown hair and clouds of pink dimity.
 At this juncture the judge quite for got that he was almost forty, that he was wearing his immaculate pearl gray, that q million stars were looking on, for he vaulted lightly the lnclosure of the well and dropped down, four feet, into the soft sand beside his "fu- ture wife" and folded her, regardless, In his arms.
 But you were to look and run right away" protested Diana in a mufled tone, You didn't play fair; it's all a joke"
 Its q sublime reality" the judge cut in lumInonsly, "and six automo- piles couldn't have dragged me away"
 Diana gurgled softly as he kissed her again. Then they scrambled out to- gether.

been set for Thursday, February 81
Temple Theatre, and will be given
under the auspices of Episcopal La.
dies Guild The work of developing
the cast is progressing rapidly under
the direction of Miss White, and the
performance promises to be most
entertaining one. A few minor chang
es are being made in the original cast,
and every rehearsal shows improve
ment in the individual parts.
The fact that the play is to be pro-
duced by amateurs does not decrease
the possibilities of the musical part
of the entertainment and the many
catchy songs identified with the orig
inal production will not be missing.
The topical songs-those which fur
nish the basis of real musical comedy,
the songs which bring forth laughter
anu applause do well do lllt CdICLy
kind which the audience remembers
the next day, and the next week, have
been placed in the hands of local tai
ent which will do them full justice.
Special attention is being given the
chorus work and in several of the
scenes chorus dancing is a feature in
connection with songs and music of
the kind which is remembered.
A double sextette, introducing ''I'll
Be There" is feature of the pro
gram which will very materially add
to the entertainment I'm An In
dian," with full chorus, is another at
tractive number which, with the solos
and duets fill in two hours of time
spent with amateur talent which is
superior to some of the travelling
shows.

Washington, D. c., Feb. pa
the "hot air. political speeches bein
ord Tor campais n plll [o9 have made
at least one congressman sick at his
stomach. He is Representative Ma.
than w. Hale, of Knoxville, Tenn.
Hale says he does not believe in
using the peoples money for cam
paign purposes, whether that money
goes through the treasury of the
United States or through the Golfers
Of the big corporations. Hence, no
political speech will be heard in con.
gress or appear in the Record under
his name.
From a business mans standpoint,
1t seems to me-" explained Hale to-
day, that a great deal of time is
wasted in the house of representa-.
1yes in making useless political
speeches which are very bitter and
partisan and sometimes not borne out
by facts and having no connection
whatever with the subject supposed
to be under discussion"
This is Hale's second term in the
house. At home they call him a farm
er, but he is largely interested in nur-
series, banking and half dozen other
business ventures. While in con.
gress, he has been taking copious
. notes of the way business is carried
? on in the great legislative body, and
today happened to be giving vent to
his feelings to fellow member.
Il really think that the committee
on rules and the speaker of the
house" he continued, Ought to estab-
hsh some rule to confine speakers to
discussing matters under consideration.
Millions of dollars worth of time
is consumed by few members of
congress in making speeches for sci.
fish purposes, for home CONSUMPTION
1t seems to me that congress, sup
posed to be the greatest legislative
body in the world, should not give its
approval by printing in the Congress
sional Record, which goes out to the
entire citizenship of this nation. any
and all kinds of bitter, personal and
political speeches.
The very fact of appearance in the
Congressional Record gives the pub
lie mind belief in the statements
made. 1t makes no difference how
partisan and incorrect they may be.
we are bound to have two parties
in a free government like ours. We
differ but little on fundamental prin-
ciples. Our differences are mainly on
the question of how to- do things.
rather than what should be done. If |
congress would bar political discus
sions, the country would be better
off"

London, September 26.-Interesting de-
tails of the progress made by the Bible
among savage heather tribes all over the
world are provided in the annual report of
the British and Foreign Bible society
The society has published the scrip
lures, or portions of them, in mo fewer

Lengua, a language spoken by the In
-dians of Paraguayan Chaeo; in Lu-Nyan-
kole. the tongue of a tribe inhabiting the
region southwest of Uganda, and in Hin
du-Sindhi, a dialect current among the
Hindu inhabitants of Sindh.
During the year 5,6SS,3S1 volumes have
been issued by the society, including S64,-
247 complete Bibles, 1,136,565 New Testa-
ments and 36S7,569 portions of the scrip
lures. These volumes are distributed
among the natives of many various wild
countries by an army of colporteurs. who
frequently meet with strange and exciting
adventures, some of which are narrated
in the societys report.
