ROUND THE CAPITAL
Information and Gossip Picked Up Here
and There In Washington.
Senator Owen Gives Genuine War Dance

Plenty Coos came here with fire in
his eye and vengeance in his heart
against the palefaces at the capitol.
He had grievances dating beyond the
arrival of Christopher Columbus. He
had several bouts with Senator Clapp,
the tall, dignified chairman OF the In
dian committee. The eloauence of
Plenty Coos prevailed finally. and an
agreement was reached to bury the
Ratchet, smoke the pipe and go back
to the reservation. Plenty Coos wound
up his descent upon the capitol in
the committee room by rising in his
place and making solemn tender OF
his beautiful eagle-feathered bonnet to
Chairman Clapp. Senator Clapp. who
fused to put on the royal headgear.
There was moment Of embarrass-
ment which was suddenly relieved by
the senator of Cherokee blood. To
him the bonnet was "call of the wild"
Hand me the bonnet" said Senator
Owen. Plenty Coos beamed with de-
light and extended the bonnet, which
was made of the trophies of hundred
American eagle wings. Senator Owen
gravely put it on his head and struck
the attitude of Osceola or Black Hawk,
or King Philip delivering an ulti-
matum to the palefaces. Then he
whirled around and around, threw an
invisible tomahawk and finally sat
down amid great applause" as they
say in the Congressional Record.

THE STORY.

THERE was a dearth in the land, es-
pecially in that portion of the coun-
try surrounding Gilgal. Successive
crops had failed owing to little or no
rain falling, and the people were much
distressed. In their impoverished con-
dition they were unable to make the
accustomed offerings to the school Of
the prophets located at Gilgal, and as
result the students enrolled there
had but scant living. AS result of
this, there was much Encouragement
and not little murmuring, and it
seemed inevitable that the school must
close. But in the darkest hour of the
experience the prophet Elisha had
come and had cheered and encouraged
them to hold on yet little longer, de-
claring that II the school should close
1t would be a reproach upon the land,
and the religious influence which the
school exerted would be destroyed.
"The land is apostate enough al
ready without our leading 1t still fur
Their into forgetfulness OF God
Yea, is not the present distress OF
the land due to the wandering Of the
people from God? And what will fol-
low IL even the religious teachers and
leaders are scattered? Rather, let US
wait patiently until the Lord provide
deliverance."
Thus they had been encouraged to
wait patiently. and Elisha had re.
NAMED with them, sharing their
scanty fare and setting them an exam
pie of sublime faith and patience. And
30 the days had passed. But the sit
uation bad grown darker and darker.
To be sure the land was beginning TO
bring forth It's fruits. but harvest day
was yet far ahead. and the supplies In
the school were practically exhausted.
"Yes," disconsolately murmured
ono of the students to fellow mem
Der one day after the last bit of -four
in the barrel had been used, I'VE
have no more here to eat. and who is
there to provide for our needs? Can
II be supposed that the people who
are likewise suffering should bring to
us what they win need for them

MOT in many years has a member
~ of the house of representatives
been SO thoroughly unpopular with
his colleagues as is Representative LII
ley Of Connecticut, whose charges OF
graft and corruption in connection
with submarine boat legislation In
congress brought about the present
investigation by the Boutell special
committee. And this is stated as a
fact, and not by way of criticism or
disparagement. Mr.. Lilley knows 1t,
too, and 1t seems rather to please him
than otherwise. At least, so his friends
have gathered from his occasional ref.
erences to the subject.
A brilliant example of the covent-
rescue attitude of the house member
ship-Republican and Democratic
with reference to Mr.. Lilley was fur
nished during general debate on the
naval bill. Richmond Pearson Hob
son, once one of our leading oscula-
tors, had turned loose line OF war
talk calculated to make the traditional

God will always make the Of
ferIng fit the need.
II 10 the good things we pass
along, not the good things which
we keep, which are multiplied
many fold.
According to Gods arithmetic
the more we give the more we
, have for ourselves.
First consecrats thy gift TO
God and then let him direct In
!, the distribution thereof. Thus
shall thy offering be multiplied
many fold. This devout man Of
|, Baal-shalisha brought Of the
, first fruits Of his fields that the
man Of God might be fed, and 10,
, he hath fed not only the prophet
, but the hundred needy sons Of
!, the prophets gathered there.
II Is the first fruits God can
use, not the left overs. eif
Too often we make certain our
own needs arc satisfied before
we~are willing to make our Of
ferings to God. II Is this
!, reversal Of the scripturaI order
which not only destroys the
power Of the gift but loses US.
! the blessing. Remember Gods
claims upon you first, and not
) only Will your offering be null
tipIied to the blessing Of others,
but verify that WHICH remain
) eth unto thee shall be sufficient
for thy needs.
"WiII a man rob God?" Is a
) question. asked of old. And the
sad answer rings down the
ages: ayes, he will and does"
But in robbing God man robs
himself. In his blind seIfishness
!, he cIings to what he has and
!, misses the treaoures God would
pour out upon him.
Listen! "Bring ye all the
tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat In mine
house, and prove me now here
with, saith the Lord Of Hosts,
II will not open you the win
dows Of heaven, and pour you
out blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive
t."
There was a dearth In the
land. Whyf Undoubtedly. be-
! cause the people had withheld
from God, and had consumed
time and thought and substance
upon the qualification Of their
own. desires and lusts. But
there was one man who with
held not from God and blessing
came to that man and his Of
fering.
There Is dearth In the land
to-day In respect to the king
dom Of God. Why? Because
Gods people are Withholding
the first fruits from him and &c
cannot send the blessing. II peo-
pie would reverse the order of
their giving, and remember
Gods claims upon them before
they sought to crafty their own
desires and needs, not only
would there be an increase In
the offerings to the Lord, but
the offerings would be multi
piled by God so that there
would not be room to receive his
blessing.
