II was developed In the case that
Patterson had at least three nomina-
tions. one OF which he contended was
n better Democratic nomination than
Carmack's. Here Is how Carmack
treated that, and the House eell IN
At as It thought of Patterson's style
Of beauty:
"The whole truth Is. Mr.. Speaker.
that this pretense OF q Democratic

democracy That .hg leaf was simply

the campaign Is over he casts aside
even the primitive vesture: he pro-
poses to unmask his beauty to the
moon, and he goes bounding forth be-
fore the bullying eyeballs Of his start
led countryIGen in all the picturesque
/ loveliness OF beauty unadorned."
He continued in that strain for
long time and both sides OF the
House fairly screamed with laughter.
Patterson's beauty. especially Pat
terson's unadorned beauty took the
House by storm.
This was his peroratioa:

to the public in letter addressed 70
Mr. Meredith, Of Richp ,nd. :
The letter was written before the
election and doubtless the writer ex'
,jecsed that 1t would be published
prior to November 3. The senten-
cex were SO constructed that they
might well deceive the. careless
reader but. nevertheless. the sum
ami substance OF the Presidents real
attitude toward the race question NJ
I, relates to politics Is perfectly via'
BILE beneath q transparent rhetcricai
attempt at disguise. Perhaps II Mr..
Meredith were put upon his oath. he
would admit that this flaw constitu'.
ed the real reason why the letter
was not published as "Taft'penio'
cratic" campaign document.
In the following quoted words are
the teeth and nails OF the pre5iden'
tia, utterances: - as long as
the election laws are constitutionaiiy
enforced without Discrimination as to
color the fear that Southern rep-es'
entation in Congress will be cut down
Is both tdle and absurd" "
or course. ''constitutionsliy" means
in accordance with the Federal con-
stitu,ion. including the. fourteenth
and flfteen.h -amendments which
guarantee equal citizenship rights. A
President Of the nation could not re-

which confiicted with the eonstitu'
tton q the United States rs anything

sentative Crumpacker Of Indiana VIII"
fa,hered the attempt In the last Con:
gress to lessen Southern strength IN

assumed that in the South election
laws are not '.constitutionaliy enforc'
cd without discrimination as to
color" and he called upon Congress
to wreak vengence upon the onena'
ing section Of the country.
1t ought 10 be self evident that II

Repairing the American pantheon.
Nothing in Washington has attract

than the dismantling Of the "Ameri'

the new pillars for the old ones.
The treasury Building furnish:s the

pillars were peculiarly susceptible to

cleaning them with sand-blast took SO

WHERE pussY's NAME CAME FROM.

Did you ever think why we call
cat "Pussy"l
Many years ago the people of
Egypt, who had many idol gods,
worshipped the cat. They thought
that she was like the moon, because
she was most active at night, and
because her eyes changed, just as the
moon changes for the moon, you
know, is sometimes full and round,
and sometimes only slender crescent,
or "half-moon, as we call 1t. Did
you ever notice your pussy's eyes to
see how they change?-for sometimes
they, too, are big and round and
again the pupils narrow until they are
nothing but little black Sits.
So the Egyptians made an idol with
a cats head, and named it "Pasht,"
the same name which they gave to
the moon; for the words mean ''the
face of the moon" In course of time
that word was changed to PAS" or
"Pus," according to the speech OF
the people who uttered It; and at
last it has come to be "puss," the
name which almost everyone gives to
the cat-for, as you know, puss and
pussy-cat are pet names for kitty
everywhere. Not many people, how
ever, think of it as given to her thou
sands of years ago, or dream that in
those tar-away times great nation
bowed down and prayed to her.

listened to his heart. "Have you

amt true, is it? 1t can't be true"-
"Who's your lawyer 7"

The patient, white and trembling,
went to the telephone.
"Who's your pastor?" continued
the Doctor.
"Rev. Kellogg M. Brown" num-

MODERN SURGERY.

The wonders of modern surgery in
deed surpass all understanding. tits
quite common thing nowadays for
surgeon to insert several tiny electric
lights into the head through the nose
and then working with long handled,
peculiar knives (also through the nos
trils), remove growth that Is dan
gerously near the brain. Such oper-
ations are performed without making
single incision into the skin. Not so
long ago the world was startled by the
report that certain English surgeons
had performed an operation that in
volved the cutting away of growth
from the heart. Eminent specialists
have branded the announcement as
seif-evident fake, but there are many
who believe it did take place. Such
things as taking out an eye or a part
of the intestines and then putting them
back are so common as to cause no
comment.
A well-known physician in West
ern State, who has made study Of
grating to a marked degree, recently
sent out an announcement to the effect
that he had succeeded in joining the
hind legs of rabbit to a cat. The
effect, when Kitty walked, was ludic-
rous, it is said, the rear legs tryiugto
propel her with the spasmodic jerks Of
the hare, while the front legs tried to
carry her with cats usual digni6ed
tread. How far this physicians ex-
periments would have carried him
hadn't the local humane society step
ped in, is unknown.

GEORGE KEPT HIM BUSY.

A we'll known Virginia clergyman,
one time president of William and
Mary College, was married three
times, and on each occasion the cere-
mony was performed by his brother,
an even more renowned bishop.
When the first marriage took place,
the bishop had to refuse tempting
invitation from an old friend because
so the letter ran-"I am going up
to Williamsburg on that date to
marry my brother George"
The same friend happened to be on
the train with him, years afterward,
when he was travelling to the second
ceremony. ct am going to marry
my brother George" the bishop ex-
planned, benignly, after the business
of greetings was over. Again many
years passed and the same journey
was taken once more for the same
purpose. By strange coincidence,
the identical friend ran into the bishop
as they hurried through the depot to
their respective trains, "Where 60
ing, Bishop?" the former sang out
as they grasped hands and dashed by
each other.
''I am going where am always 60
ing" the answer came back, ponder
ously, "to marry my brother George" !"
