WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. a.
The house of representatives of the
United States has petered out. It's
members frankly confess it. They
laugh at their own impotency
The senate was meant to be buff
fer, drag, a brake on the ''populis-
tic" enthusiasm of the lower house;
but by it's control over patronage
and its slower process of change, it
has made the most powerful cham
Der of the two.
The supreme court was meant to
be a subsidiary branch of govern
ment, but by various methods has so
built up its jurisdiction as to make
itself the real shaping power of our
institutions.
The executive. meant to be merely
an additional check on popular pas
sion and to be the directing power
in war, has become the real popular
branch of the government to viii n
the people look for legislation, as
we'll as law enforcement.
But the house, meant to be the
real government, like the house of
commons in England, has fallen so
low that we only laugh at such re-
marks as this, taken from Wash

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. L.
Neighbor Roosevelt, surrounded by

Those who didn't go in carriages

after the foreign notables had de-
parted and only a few of them saw
Mistress Roosevelt and her intimates
who had been standing by her in the
receiving line, or in the much sought

This was because of the custom
which has griwn up of the good wo-
man of the White House serving
light refresh ments to the ladies of
the cabinet, before they leave for
their respective homes to receive

The genial host, enured to great

A SNAKE STORY.
TIE Yarn That Was Spun by . Trav-
eler In Australia.

eler In Australia.
An Australian traveller says that he
was one day walking in the thick
scrub, collecting specimens, when he
came upon large light brown snake,
species Of python, coiled upon the
ground.
He was by far the finest one he had
ever seen at large. He was probably
ten or twelve feet long and as thick
as a mans leg at the knee.
He looked savage enough to devour a
man, and at first the collector felt half
inclined to run away.
He recovered himself, however, and
was on the point of shooting the SER
pent with charge of dust shot in
order to carry home his skin when it
occurred to him that he would be
worth five times as much IL he, were
taken alive.
II had" he says, "a leather strap
with buckle in my game bag, and
with this | determined to moose the
snake.
II started toward him, but when I
came near he partly uncoiled, opened
his mouth very wide, thereby disclos-
ing his sharp teeth, and, kissing spite
fully, struck at me. I lodged behind
small tree and, leaning out as far
as I dared. tried several times to
moose him.
"After l had teased him for some
time he suddenly started on at full
speed. I caught my gun and by dint
Of hard running through the thick
scrub managed to head him OF. He
coiled, and again tried the moose, but
he put his head under his coils in a
very sulky manner reached out from
my shelter behind a tree and caught
him by the tail. but he pulled away
with great force and glided of again.
'This time he took refuge under a
fallen tree and before I could head
him of was gliding down the hole Of
some wild animal.
II reached the spot just as the last
two or three feet of his body were
disappearing. and, selling his tail with
both hands, / hung on desperately.
With my feet braced against limb
Of the tree pulled till the tail cracked
and snapped as If it would break asun-
der. Sometimes he pulled me to with
in a few inches Of the hole, and then
/ would brace myself against the limb
and drag him halfway out.
"At last grew SO tired that I had
to let go my hold. and with many re-
grets saw the last few inches Of the
tail disappear beneath the earth"

Poetic Justice.

A man whose soul had been tortured
frequently by the remarks Of his wife,
who takes a fendish delight in setting
a price on the handsome clothes worn
by other women, one day found sweet
comfort in the inca1tious comment Of
a woman in a crowded car.
"Oh, yes" said that observing other
woman, 'the hat looks well enough,
but 1t is cheap 1t couldn't have cost
a cent more than &C."
Thereupon said the man to his wife:
"Why do you always pick out the
most expensive clothes for especial no
tice? Why, don't you look at some
thing cheap once in awhile? There
are cheap things worn. There is a
hat in this very car that cost only So.
The woman just behind us pointed it
out minute ago."
"Well," said his wife, you are the
last person on earth who ought to feel
proud Of it. It was me she was talk
ing about.''-New York Times.

THE DUTCH KITCHEN.
Largest Room In the House and Has 9
Bed In the Corner.

Largest Room In the House and Has q
Bed In the Corner.
Holland. of all countries, is a memo
rial to the unceasing labor Of mans
hands. 1t exists not because the sea,
higher than its green stretches, suffers
It to, but because man by the labor Of
his hands and Of his brain has kept
the water back. The Dutch people
have not only earned their land-they
have made it
when have they found time to do
It all?" you ask yourself. But you are
to know more of the work which in
Holland never ceases. OF the work
which goes on within those houses you
know nothing until at Delft you make
your first acquaintance with a Dutch
kitchen.
The kitchen is property a large room
as compared with the other rooms in
the house. for it is the gathering place
at all times for the fstmily. The table
Is round and stands not quite in the
center of the room, but so that the
mistress, sitting at one side. can reach
her hand out to the stove without ris-
ing.
In one corner Of the kitchen Is such
a bed as you have never seen before
The stifiy starched white muslin cur
tains make It look like a bind window,
but the grandson pulls the curtains
back, and In the recess formed by the
closet on one side and the corner Of
the room on the other you see the
place where your hostess sh.eps. There
are a high feather bed and many cover
ings.
The stove is a brick one, set in a
deep old fireplace. The old mantel is
piled with brass vessels, which the
old woman uses as though they were
common tin. On one side is a china
statue Of the Virgin. On the other side
under glass globe is a waxen statue
OF Queen Vyilhelmina in her wedding
gown.-New Idea Magazine.
