FED BABY SISTER MORPHINE
Thought IL Was Quinine and Wanted
 to Play a Joke.

Bonneville, May 24.-The 19- months old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Lee Davis is thought to be dying from the effects of mor phine poison administered by her six year-old brother m play.
 The mother of the children left them alone in the house while procuring vegetables from the garden and during her absence the little boy found the morphine iu a bottle. Thinking it was quinine, he placed small portion of the poison on a piece of raw potato and fed 1t to his sister.
 Mrs. Davis appreciated the gravity of the situation when she returned to the house and q phy- sician was summoned at once, but, still alive. the baby is unconscious aud it's chances for recovery are regarded doubtful.

 The managers of the Republi can revolutions which fizzled, however, promise big doings when Congress reconyenes next Decem- Der. They declare that party considerations restrained them from making too big rumpus Oh the eve of the election, but insist there has got to be a show down after the election IS oyer. They allege that ln holding the house to the legislative program they did the Republican leaders did not truly represent the dominant sem timent among house Republicans but that the leaders had the mach inery in their hands and to have upset it at this time would have been to invite party disaster. They contend there should have been compromise, that they should not have been required to make all the sacrifices for the sake of party harmony, and there is a steely glitter iu their eyes when they declare there will be a reek- oning after tbe election.

WASTING TIME TO
 PLAY POLITICS
John Sharp Williams Has Tied the Hands of Congress for Twenty Eight Full Days Remarkable
 Display of Leadership.

Washing ton, May 24. Hon. John Sharp Williams of Missis- sippi, leader of the Democratic minority in the house of repre- sentatlves, has the proud distlnc- ton of being the champion of all filibusters. No other obslruction- ist in the historyNof the Ameri- can Congress ever gave the domi- nant party so much trouble and discontinue. It is estimated that since Mir. Williams started his plan to embarrass the Repub- licans twenty-eIght full ieglsla- tive days have been consumed in filibuslering.
 Mir. Williams has forced the house to take close on 200 roll calls which would not have been taken under ordinary circum- stances and which accomplished no purpose other than to consume time. Each roll call requires about forty minutes and the average legislative day is five hours. You can easily figure il out for yourself how many days have teen spent in calling the roll.
 These figures are interesting, but much more interesting IS the fact that the Democratic mem bership stood by Williams througi all the weary days of the filibus ter, thous h Democrats were as anx ious as Republicans Co get away from Washington. Tue thing grows still more remarkable wher 1t is recalled that on several oc, casions in the past the minority has been on the verge of revolt against Williams leadership.
 The bitterness against Williams manifested itself carly in the session in the first fight between Williams aud Judge David A. De Armond of Missouri.
 Certainly tt has disclosed iu Mr.. Williams qualities of leadership which were not brought out in his more tranquil days at inc head ot the house minority.
 The session, by the way, has been rather prolific iu revolts. none of which has come to any serious issue. The Democrats

TALKS FOR NEW
 CONSTITUTION
Senator James P. Clark Addresses Bar Association on Subject ' Insurance Committee Goes After lnsur-
 anCe Law.

Little Rock, May 23. United States Senator James F. Clarke yesterday morning addressed the Arkansas Bar Association on the subject of the need of new con stitution for Arkansas. He de- clared that the state needed new constitution because general con- ditious had changed so materially since 1874, when the constitution was drawn up. He suggested that under a new constitution elective officers should be elected to terms of four years, and that no elective office should succeed himself; that the present taxes should be lowered; that the new constitution should prohibit the enactment of laws that are purely special and local; that the new constitution should provide for hig gher salaries for the judiciary of the state, and that 1t shoud also consider possible changes iu pardoning power.
 The association also listened 10 another attack on the Arkansas laws yesterday in the report oi the insurance committee. in which the committee declared that new insurance laws were needed in Arkansas. "Legislatures have by additional acts made the pres ent system of insurance laws an incongruous patchwork of incon- sistencies," stated the report, The report also stated that "ihe laws increase both the cost of in surauce aud the fire waste and in- vite fraud, perjury and arson. 7 The insurance laws were attacked from other viewpoints. The as sociation took no formal action on the report, but discussed 1t at length.

Honeysuckle Makes Good Hedges.

It may be that you are planning a new hedge this year to shut out an
 ugly view. intruding animals or to
 form a boundary-line, says the De- lineator for May. For this purpose the common honeysuckle, Lonicera grata. is worthy sof consideration. A simple but strong wire fence will support it perfectly, and the roots may be set in almost any time of the year. The vine grows rapidly, shows disposition to take care of itself even to the extent of choking out poison-ivy or other climbers that endeavor to invade it's stronghold. It's habit is to grow to the top of the fence, and then to droop down gracefully on either side. A close wall of green is soon formed, so close indeed that dogs give up the attempt to push themselves through its mass of intertwincd twigs. The flowers return for second bloom ing casting always, to considerable their soft, delicate scent.
 A hedge of honeysuckle vines, is less costly than one of box or privet. and it does not require the clipping and care of the latter. Often such a hedge forms adesirable windbreak, especially for the roses of garden. Trained over simple framework it makes a delightful canopy for a garden bench.
