A Nice calcnIatisn N Beans and
Dose Of Ginger Tea.

WNN
It is told of an old time boarding
mistress of Marblehead, a shrewd
dame who kept her boarders under
admirable control, that once, on
Saturday night, q daring man broke
the unwritten law Of the establish
ment and asked a second time for
beans. At-once several Others, who
had not dared, but we're ready 70
follow a leader should he succeed,
looked up expectantly.
The landlady promptly ladled
into the plate of the rash innovator
a last spoonful, scraped from the
deepest interior of the dish, and,
sweeping the table with beaming
smile, declared triuinphantly:
"Therel / calculated on Just
enough to a beam
Second helpings were otherwise
discouraged by a boarding mistress
of Old Morley. A young school
teacher, late to dinner from a skat-
ing party, ate little of the half cold
and unappetizing first courses, but
ventured a second request for hot
mince pie. It was served without
comment, but a few minutes after
dinner the maid tapped at her door.
"AIissus is afraid all that pie
won't set WE'LL" she announced,
"and she says shan't she make you
some ginger tea z"
The kind offer was declined. But
half hour later the maid appeared
again.
"Missus says she's sure you must
be needin' ginger tea by now" she
stated. "She'll send some right up
the minute you say so. It's all
ready"
Somewhat less graciously the Of
fer was declined again. But in a
few minutes the maid reappeared
With a tray and "Here's your GIN
ger tea; missus says you better be
on the safe side and take il"
Rather sharply the tray was re-
pud ed. Five minutes later the
maid Knocked once more.
"Missus says she's got to 60 out,
but she amt just easy in her mind
to leave you. She's put your ginger
tea on the back of the stove, keepin'
hot, and you'll find the extract bot
tie on the second shelf of the pan
try if you want any more. She
saws she hopes you'll be all right,
but that pie was awful rich, and
two pieces was enough to upset an
ostrich"
They did not disturb the diges-
tion of the healthy and hungry
Young schoolmistress. But she never
risked incurring her landlady's So
licitude by more second helpings.
The ginger tea had cured her Of
that.-Youth's Companion.

Citations TO show That He Was In the
Fashion Of His Time.

Ee~aaa@Ns ~ ANa~ aaNtt~s
No ordinary reader Of Shake
speare's works can fail to be struck
by the copious and ever recurring
legal phraseology with which they
are filed. Not only are law terms
frequently employed with an al
most professional correctness to
give color and intensity to his SEN
tences, but whole scenes are taken
up with illusions to or. discussions
on purely legal matters, as in "The
Merchant of Venice" "Henry ""
and the grave scene in "Hamlet, I"
not to mention other plays. So
profound indeed is the knowledge
displayed all through that no less
an authority on the subject than
Lord Campbell has told us that "to
Shakespeare's law, lavishly as he
propounds it, there can neither be
demurrer nor bill of exceptions nor
writ of error" To this marked
feature of the works more than to
any other one might perhaps with
justice attribute the very origin of
the whole Baconian theory. The
point is naturally of extreme i'm
portance in the eyes of those whose
only knowledge of the literature of
the period is confined to Shake
speare's writings. But that impor-
tance shrinks rapidly to insignifi-
canoe after course of reading
through the general dramatic liter
ature of the time, in which. as a
matter of fact, legal similes and al
lusions are found to occur with
about the same frequency as in
Shakespeare's works. So strong in
deed is the legal coloring of all
stage writing at the time that one is
forced to believe that law talk must
have been more common among Law
men in those days and especially
among laymen of a playgoing dis
position than it has ever been dur
ing any period since. There are in
dications besides that some critics
were getting tired of all this legal
jargon, Dekker, for instance, who
writes:
"There is another ordinary at
which your London usurer, your
stale bachelor and your thrifty at
torney do resort-the price. three
pence: the rooms as full of COM
pany as a jail. If they chance to
discourse it is of nothing but stat
utes, bonds, recognizances, fines, re-
coveries. audits, rents, subsidies,
sureties, Enclosures, liveries, indict-
ments, outlawries, feoffments, judg-
ments, commissions, bankrupts,
amercements and of such horrible
matter" r."-Gull's Horn Book, 1909.

WILL PASS THE HOUSE MONDAY

Washington, Feb. 11.-(Special. Arizona and New Mexico will be admitted to the union by the house of representatives on Monday. the 18th inst.
 Knowing the interest of the pres- ident in the bills to admit these two states, Representative Watson, the whip of the house. called on the president today and advised him that it would be clear sailing for the bills through the house.
 The poll of congress recently published in the Los Angeles Ex- aminer shows that on a straig ght vote the bill ought to pass at this session of congress. The breakers, however, are ahead in the senate. There it is expected the outrage will be perpetrated. by talking the fate of the two proposed states to death. If the popular. sentiment is not throttled by flow of words alone, the usual dilitory tactics and tacti- clans will be on hand to obstruct progress.
 The bill states that both terri tories could be admitted as states within ten months after enactment of the bill. The estimates accepted by the committee give Arizona not less than 100000 and New Mexico 400, ,000 people.

BILE The secretary dwelt upon the i'm
portance of the cooperation of the states
and the federal government in the deVel-
opment of arid lands. He gave the COM
mittee some suggestions as to the future
control of the irrigated lands.
There should be no relaxation OF the
requirement that the money expended on
those lands must be returned TO the gov
eminent, and there should be no permits
sion granted for the postponement of the
first payment" ne said. The time has
arrived for the first payments to be made
on some Of the projects, and many re-
quests for an extension of time have
been made.
IF payments are to be postponed OF
payments entirely abandoned, there viii

ing that they are absolutely necessary

of the session Of the house today. Repre-

eulCgy on Abraham Lincoln. He spoke
of Lincolns entry into the body as
member on Dec. D, isf5.
Here in this house, he said attending
to its routine duties and responding to nu

Ords of the house FsOme memorial OF the
greatest member Of this national assem-
bly, Of the peoples representative"
NO ruler, ne said, ever faced SO hard
a task. or one besst with so many pitfalls
as that which confronted Lincoln. when
he entered upon the presidency. During
ali his term Of service. he had to deal not
only with open enemies. but with secret
foes. faithless friends and unsCrupulous
rivals. He endured the whips and sccrns
Of time with unfailing patience and seren-
ity. sometimes divcrtlng the force Of the
heaviest blows with the shield Of humor.
and day after day he bore without
murmur a load of care that would have
crushed a spirit that had not been nobiy
COusecrated-
When the great conflict was ended.
Mr. Boutelf said, Lincoln had only words
had taken aFms against the government
and for the stricken south he cherished
naught but feelings of tender compass
