FLOWERS FOR PAPA.
Copyright feO0 BY American Press
Association.

This true incident, which at the time
it occurred was limited to the Madison
CWis.) newspapers, is worth retelling.
President Roosevelt was holding a
reception in the Office of Governor La
Toilette at Madison.
Two little girls edged their way
through the crowd. They were not as
well dressed as some of the other girls
there, but their raiment was neat and
clean.
Governor La toilette noted the pres
ence of the children and asked them
If they wanted to see the president.
The girls were abashed because of
the attention that was paid to them
They shrank back, but the governor
pressed them. Finally the elder one
answered the governor:
eve don't want that, but we would
like something else"
what would you likeT' kindly in
Quired the governor.
WED like that flower" volunteered
the smaller one. Papa is'sick atahome
and couldn't come, and we'd like to
give him a flower"
She was given the flower. a large
American Beauty rose, and was sc
happy she broke down and cried.
Then willing hands stripped several
OF the vases, and the two little ones
were given all the flowers they could
carry to take home to the sick papa
and a carriage to carry them In.
Not much OF gtoryf
No. Only there is in It the touchftnat
makes the world kin-kin, it may be
for only an impulsive moment, but kir
nevertheless.
Some of those present. at the govern
or's reception saw only the little girls
excited, flushed, fearful, but happy
Others saw this picture:
A sick bedchamber lacking man!
comforts, the face Of father with ;
look of longing on his wasted face, |
lonely waiting for his little ones,
Frightening look when the tots cam
home in a carriage loads Of posies
tears, joy.
And those precious kids!
Amid all the stirring spectaclesof tn
reception they thought chiefly of tn
sick father and how he would enjoy
flower. What were presidents an
governors to them, or the grand
dressed women whose toilets almos
took away their breath, II only the
could have a fower-a big fower-fo
papa?
Poor? Whatever his circumstance;
that father is rich.

The county seat newspaper men
argued that it was right that they
should receive legal advertising as it

newspaper men disputed the claim.

House.
An attempt to abolish capital pun
ishment as a penalty under federal
laws today blocked the conclusion of
consideration of the penal code bill in
the house, sitting in committee of the
whole. This bill was taken up after
the house had become entangled in the
Knox eligibility question and had laid
the question aside for the day.
The most important amendment in
corporated in the bill was one to regu-
late the interstate shipment of intox-
icating liquors.
Representative Mccall of Massa-
chusetts led the fight against capital
punishmet. and when he was voted
down made a point of quorum. Just
before this, BIZ 25 to p, the commit
tee had declined to substitute electro
cution for hanging as a death penalty.
A motion to take a recess was op-
posed by enemies of the bill, and fill
buster resulted. The doors finally
were closed. and the sergeant-at-arms
was sent after absent members.
Nearly two hours later, at 1850 p. M,
when Representative Madden of Illi-
nois answered the roll call, quorum
was secured, and the house was de-
elared in recess until tomorrow at II

The naval bill, carrying appropria-
tions Of about s1Ss. 1000. was today
passed by the senate after having been
under considerable for three days. The
bill was today changed by restoration
of the house, provision for two bat
tleships of $4,000 tons displacement, to
cost 100000 each.
An Intellectual effort was made to de-
feat the amendment for restoration OF
the marine corps to battleships and
cruisers of the navy, which was placed
in the measure while the senate was
! proceeding in the committee Of the

An amendment to the cities and

right to enact ordinances for licensing
wholesale liquor dealers and drug

consumed on the premises, has been
drawn by Corporation Counsel Frede-

At present the city has the right to
license brewers and brewery agencies,
an annual license fee Of $1,000 being
charged. Because of this fee. several
breweries that formerly had local
agencies now sell their products
through jobbers and wholesalers. As
these wholesalers and jobbers buy
their liquor direct and sell it in their
own names, the courts have decided
that the city has no right to exact q
license.

With Legislators

Representative Kliver of Lake and
Newton counties, who was not asked
to attend the conference of republic
an house members Monday night and
who was severely censured because he
voted with the democrats for the
Proctor Tomlinson bill, will be ad-
mitted to caucus hereafter. The min
GRITTY leaders in the house made this
decision yesterday because they be-
lieved Kliver had been punished" as
they termed it, enough. Kliyer, 1t is
said, voted for the Proctor-Tomlinson
bill at the dictation Of Mayor Knox of
Gary. His vote. it was told figured
in a trade for votes for the Gary SUI
perior court bill.
Kliver wept when he voted for the
bill and told a nearby member that
he wished he had never been elected
to the legislature. Immediately after
he cast his vote he went to his room
in his hotel and remained there. He
refused to vote for the Kleckner bill,
leaving Representative Ratlif the only
republican voting for this bill.
Ratliff, the leader, declared yester-
day, will not be asked to attend any

publicans may meet tonight or tomor-

At night he was sure to come home,
and, watching his opportunity, would
select a position and quietly go to

Poolesville he followed to Washing

Tinker took him on board the steam
