STRENUOUS METHODS USED IN
FORCING 1T THROUGH THE
SENATE.
CONGRESS kDJ0URNs
PICTURES OF CANNON AND
BRYAN CARRIED BY SING
IN CROWDS.

Washington.-Jus ten minutes, Of
ficially, before the hands of the big
round clock in the chambers of the two
houses of Congress pointed to the hour
of midnight Saturday, the first session
of the Sixticth Congress came to
close. In the house the closing hours
We're characterized by singing of songs
by Republicans in honor of Speaker
Cannon and by Democrats in the inter
est of William j. Bryan. The excite
Inent, which was great al times, finally
subsided and the session closed with
good fellowship among the members.
The last days of the Senate Will be
memorable On account OF the fill
buster of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone
and Gore against the emergency cur
rency bill by the remarkable interpre-
tations of the rules which go far to es-
tablish a cloture in body noteworthy
for the freedom of debate and by the
final passage OF the currency bill.
The concluding sentence of the vice
president, The chair now declares the
| Senate adjourned without day." deliv-
cred precisely at 11:50 O'Clock, was
greeted with general applause. Good
| Dyes were QuIChlg Sdlu anu iioCA
of the Serate was deserted within
few minutes after the fall of the gavel
in the hands of Mr.. Fairbanks.
| The President, shortly before ten
O'Clock, signed the compromise curren-
cy bill and presented the pen he used
| in aftiXing his signature to Representa-
tive Wilson of Chicago.
| The closing hours in the House were
marked by unusual scenes. Before the
night had advanced very far a number
of Republicans invaded the center aisle
carrying aloft large-sized lithograph
of Speaker Cannon, which was sus-
pended from a long-handled broom
carried by Representative barchfeld
of Pennsylvania. They marched to the
tune of Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the
Boys are Marching" after which they
struck up America" Meantime some
one left the building ana returned
with a heavily mounted picture of Will
| liam j. Bryan, which, also suspended
from a broomhandle, was held up and
carried by Representative Houston of
Tennessee and was followed by many
Democrats, singing.
over fifty correspondents in the
press gallery alternated with members
in singing popular airs. Representative
Burnett of Alabama greatly enter
tanned the House with old-time planta
ton songs.
At 11:49 Speaker Cannon raped for
order and delivered a brief farewell
address.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a
Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a ug-caffeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before CIV
ing the babies coffee to drink.
When l was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips Of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals | never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
And so / contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young.
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley. then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard of.
l continued to use coffee until l was 81,
and when l got into Office work, / be-
gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast | was SO nervous

spondence.
AT night, after having coffee for
supper, could hardly sleep. and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Post.

1nasmuch as Jesus Christ commanded
US to love II another, we are our broth
er's keeper, and forbidden, therefore, to
kill him, r in any way to interfere with
his right to freedom and the pursuit Of
happiness. The soldier, who is the crea.
ture Of government, is a loafer in time Of
peace. and a legalized murderer in time
OF war.
Almighty God commanded us. in the
person Of Adam, to labor; and this was
several thousand years before the teach.
ing Of Christ. it is a precedent which in.
cluded the law Of love. Women tell
their husbands that kisses are cheap. and
We know that these, with words. are to.
geth~r the expressions of love; hut the
man who gives to his family the whole
fruit Of his love, whether of Drawn or
brain, proves that his love is unselfsh,
and therefore real. The corporation
president, Baer. may have been honest
when he told the miners that God had
given o the rich the key to the earth's
bounty. to be dispensed equally among
the workers. 1t was a lie, for all that,
and it is evident that no man receivcs'fo
his labor All equivalent for the service he
renders.
The Jews worked long days for the
government in Egypt. They struck for
shorter hours and more pay. Moses. the
first anarchist. led them out Of Egypt in
to the promised land. His was the first
protest we know against government
based on force. The laws that were a..
forwards to rule the Jews are mostly ~r.'.
ten in every mans heart. As a prophet
Moses promised q better land to the Jews
but lie did not reach It. yet he was allow
since the time Of Moses; Warren died:
and none Of these saw the elimination OF
their life work The last OF those proph.
cts was Henry George; not only he I'm.
ised, hut lie proved with irrefutable ar
gument how the fulhlment OF the rom
mand IA labor. through a REIMBURSEMENT
Of social conditions. would abolish power.
~ by restoring the equilibrium between
ethical and physical forces. Like Moses
he lived to see the promised land; his
eyes saw clearly the banners Of Truth
waving in the distance, and coming TO.
wards him with power and glory, he
died happy in the midst Of the struggle.
