When the Fairies Arc Noisy.

Among the flowers which are said to
be very popular with fairies are blue
bells, harebells and wood sorrel. All
these flowers are used by the fairies to
attract the attention of their friends
who are at q little distance. II you
are ever out in the woods when the
bluebell or wood sorrel begins to peal
in delicate. soft tones you will know
that the little flower is being sway
ed to and fro by some visiting fairy.
The foxglove. known also as the fairy
bells, are also said to be used by the
fairies for chimes, but when the little
people wish to sound q real resounding
blast that shall awaken from slumber

Silver Wedding Anniversary.

The leading social event of the past
week in Grapeland was the silver we'd
ding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. A. E.
Hill, which was observed at the pleas
ant home on Friday last, says the
Grapeland correspondent of The Maple
ton Enterprise. The weather and roads
were both bad, yet they apparently
cast no sign of shadow over the spirits
| of the one hundred invited guests who
were nevertheless present. At few
minutes after twelve all repaired to the
house to witness the silver wedding
ceremony, whereby the contracting
parties renewed their marriage obi.
cations. The wedding march was
played by Miss Hazel Edwards of Man
kato. The bride and groom were ac-
companied by Mrs. Ethel Hill Stauffer
Miss Elsie Hill and Master Dallas
Hill, and Messrs. George Crosby and
Robert Hall, and Miss Goldie Greeley
The bride was lastly gowned in a
rich dress of black silk, while the
groom wore a stylish and perfectly fit
ting suit of brown. They were gener-
ally pronounced handsome couple,
and as Rev. Bolton again repeated the
wedding ceremony, and the ring was
lplaeed on the finger of the blushing
bride, it was hard to realize that they
had already passed twenty-five years
of welded life together.
Following the wedding ceremony the
guests all partook of one of those
bounteous repasts which are pleasant
even to be remembered, and which can
only be prepared by the skilled and
gifted housewife. The afternoon was
passed in pleasant social intercourse
and renewal of old acquaintanceships
particularly the acquaintanceships of
the guests from a distance, who were
formerly well known here. Many hand
some and costly presents were left as
testimonials of the good will which
is entertained for this good couple.
Besides being. wedding anniversary,
the gathering was also family gath
ering, particularly of Mrs. Hills fam
| lily, as her sisters and brother were all
together again, the first time since
their mothers death fourteen years
ago. They We're: Mrs. Eunice Crosby
and two sons, Willis and George, from

her husband in the same state were
found in this citv, last week. The
man was connected with ocean wave
merry -go-round that was here for a

traced them to this city, and found,
them both here. He did care to have

going from here to the home of her

Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.-Charac'
terizing the action of fthe president
in directing the attorney general not
to prosecute the United States Steel
Corporation for the absorption of the
Tennessee Steel and Iron Corpora
ton as another "arbitrary and law
less act of the chief magistrate" Sen
ator Culberson of Texas, introduced
resolution in the senate today in
structing the committee on ju
dietary to report at as early day
as possible whether in the opinion of
that committee the president was au-
thorized to permit such absorption.
Mr.. Culberson, at considerable
length discussed the president and
insisted that congress had the right
to give direction to the head Of the
executive department under certain
conditions.
Senator Hopkins declared that the
Texas senator was not properly rep
resenting the president and said that

action of the steel corporation but

Ii. IN 7 THE h L:

Washington, D. c., Jan. AS dis
respectful and unresponsive to the in.
quiry of the house, the Perkins CON-
mittee when it reports tomorrow will
recommend that President Roose-
velt's secret service message of Jan.
4 be placed on the table. A similar
request will be made for the tabling
of that portion Of the presidents
annual message relating to the secret
service on the ground that he re-
fleets upon the integrity of. the mem
bers Of the house,
The special committee concluded
it's consideration of the. message to-
day and drafted it's report, which will
be made by Representative Perkins
of New York. The unusual and ex-
IRENE course advised-that of declin-
ing to consider any communication
from any source which, in the judy
ment of the house is not respectful
is likely to create a sensation when
it is read.
The report of the committee will
include the paragraph of the presi-
dents annual message which refers
to the secret service and suggests
that the reason congress restricted
its use was because members of con-
gress themselves did not wish to be
Investigated.
This will be followed by an ex-
cerpt from the message of January 4,
In response to the request made by
the house for an explanation of the
language used by the president,
which had been interpreted by the
house as reflection on the integ-
rity of it's members.
After setting forth the statement
of the president that the house had
failed to understand his message the
report of the special committee will
say that the language itself will be
judged according to the accepted in
depreciation OF the English language.

it's responsibility to the people and
