Wouldn't Admit His Ignorance.

When the cotton schedule was I'M
der consideration by the senate, Mr..
Penrose made plea for an increase
in the duty on stockings, in the In
terests of the American manufacture
ers. The exhibit of hosiery which the
senator had upon his desk and the
glib manner in which he discussed his
subject showed that he knew what he
was talking about.
"Mr. President, I would like to ask
the senator from Pennsylvania if
clock stockings are included in this
paragraph" inquired Senator Dolli-
yer during the course of Penrose's
speech.
They are" promptly replied Mr..
Penrose.
Later a senator walked over to Mr..
Penrose's desk and asked him what
kind of hosiery were clock stockings.
Il haven't the slightest idea," said
the Pennsylvania.
But you told Do1liver they were
included in that paragraph" said the
senator.
well, I felt sure they were all in
Guided in the paragraph, and l didn't
propose to let DolIiver know that I
was ignorant on any phase of my sub
ject," replied Penrose.

BLIND SENATOR A sIGHTsEER
Wife of Gore of Oklahoma His Eyes
at Wriehts' Flights and the
Ball Games.

Washington.-Through going to
Fort Myer repeatedly to "see" the
Wright brothers fly in their aeroplane,
Senator Gore, the blind statesman
from Oklahoma, is becoming one Of
the most pronounced aeronautic en-.
thusiasts in Washington.
Senator Cores substitute for the
eyes he lost by series Of accidents
during his youth is his wife and a
keen sense of hearing, to both Of
which his mind is peculiarly attuned.
From them he obtains the same thrill
of excitement that others experience
through first hand perception.
Few men in Washington are affect
ed by the atmosphere" of an event
as Senator Gore. 1t helps him to COM
prehend the quiet words of his wife
as she explains every movement Of
the aviators. When all Is concluded
he is just as anxious to applaud as
any other spectator.
The senator also Is very fond Of
watching" baseball game. He is a
patron of the league games here,
where Mrs. Gore helps him to follow
the play closely, although his eyes
cannot distinguish night from day.

SCHOOL FOR DIPLOMATS.
State Departments to Give Men Who
Pass Examinations 80 Days Of
Real Training.

Washington.-In order to more thor
oughly prepare new appointees of the
United States diplomatic service for
their duties, the state department has
established school in Washington
for the instruction of men who have
successfully passed examinations.
Under the Taft administration,
Huntington Wilson, assistant score
tary of state. has given particular at
tention to the selection of new NOM
bers of the diplomatic corps, and
aside from a more careful and pains
taking examination than heretofore,
the state department has decided on
practical training for period Of so
days. One of the new features in pro-
curing elligibles is that practically no
attention will be paid to political af1ili.
ations or pull of any sort.
Heretofore a so-cailed instruction
period" of 80 days has been allowed
successful candidates for diplomatic
positions by statute, which the new
appointees have usually spent in wait
ing around Washington receiving for
NAL instruction from the department
and waiting to be sent to their posts.
Officials say this has generally been
used as a period of Willing away
time" Consequently the state depart
ment in connection with the examtna-
ton just held has initiated school
of instruction under the direction of
John H. Gregory, Jr., United States
minister to Nicaragua, who is now in
Washington giving the master careful
attention.

fact that most ambassadors and sena-
tors are grandparents. But substitute
grandchildren for children and you
aren't far wrong.
Still, the advantages aren't all one
way. The Washington kid who kicks
himself along over the asphalt on the
skate has distinct advantages over the
small boy in immaculate white who is
led forth into Dupont Circle by a gov
erness, for he has more ground to
play on and spread himself over.
Maj. L'Enfant made a great plan
for the capital, but he, or his success
sors, forgot to put in the yards. There
were two states and a whole contin-
ents beside to spread over, but house
builders persisted in putting up solid
rows Of brick, sitting at most only a
few feet back from the street. They had
so much ground in the blocks that
they wound alleys through them and
lined these with tenements. But
yards for the kids were left out.
The larger circles and squares are
overrun with children. La Fayette
Square, in front of the White House,
is crowded after the fashion of Hol-
mes Square in Kansas City, every fine
day. Only La Fayette Square has no
swings and is rather cluttered up with
walks and shrubbery.
The kids that live out on the
Heights in the northwest part of the
town are in much better luck, for the
Heights overlook the ZOO and Rock
Creek park.
The zoo is great for the kids. It
sizes up pretty well with the circus,
for it has an elephant, lions, a bird
cage as big as half of all outdoors and
incidentally several ella monsters.
The prospective ambassadors and
congressman and other kids roam
about in the zoo and in Rock Creek
park and see the lions fed and hear
them roar and have bully time
Then there are the swans in the
lake in the Soldiers Home grounds
and other forms of excitement. And
the kids, not being used to having
yards, don't miss them.

kids" OF CAPITAL
TWO CLASSES IN JUVENILE POP
ULATlON OF WASHINGTON.
Those Who Roller Skate and Those
Who Don't-No Yards for Children
So the Public Places Are
Greatly in Demand.

Westinghouse a result of care
full observation it is possible to d.
vide the kids" of Washington into
two classes-those who skate up and
down the asphalt of THE Avenue" ON
roller skates and those who don't. Most
of those who skate on the avenue have
one pair of skates for two youngsters,
because there isn't cash enough avail
able to furnish each one a complete
pair.
At the other extreme are the chill
dren of ambassadors, senators and
other dignitaries who are taken cut in
the charge of governess or nurse
maid. This statement needs a slight
modification, perhaps in view of the

They Let Him Sleep in the Senate.

NCy Lex thin SISGP III kHS SCfiSLSs
A member of the house Of represen.
tatives may sleep in the senate cham.
Der during a debate undisturbed. This
precedent was set recently by Repre-
sentative Boehne of Indiana. Repre-
sentative Boehne comes from the Ev'
ansville district and is Democrat
with a bug" on the tariff, He was
the most persistent attendant at the
sessions of the senate Of the 1872 mem
bers of the house. Day in and day
out and likewise evenings, he could
have been seen in the southwest cor
ner of the senate chamber, his red
dish beard draped gracefully over his
chest.
A few days ago the Indiana man
went to sleep in the coy corner OF a
soft couch. The doorkeeper did not
recognize him and sent a page to
wake him up. The page took the pre-
caution to inquire who it was that
slept in the senate and when told 1t
was Representative Boehne he came
back and reported that he had no
desire to lose his job Thereupon
there was a discussion among the
doorkeepers of the senate and the
pages, with the result that Boehne
continued his sleep undisturbed. After
a good snooZe of an hour he gathered
himself together, looked about the sem
ate and walked out as though nothing
extraordinary had happened.

Followers of Christ.

The friend of the master is not de-
voted to him simply as to a beautiful
memory. He sustains the most init
mate relation to a living Person. He,
the living Jesus, is now thinking of
his friends, guiding them, opening
ways for them, revealing his will to
them, giving them assurances of his
love. Many time in the pages of
the Gospel, in prayer, in the fulfill
ment of some taxing duty for his
sake, we seem to catch intimations of
his presence; and one day there will
be swift transition from the stony
streets of our earthly cities to the
golden pavements of the New Jerusa-
lem; from the dwellings of wood and
stone in which we live, to the Fathers
house; from seeing him through a
glass darkly to beholding him face to
face.

Scriptural Authority-2 Chron.
Chapter 80, and Apocryphal Book of
Manassas Prayer.
Moloch the Fire God-The fire god
Moloch. to whom King Manasseh offered
his sons, and which sin presents one of
the blacklist records in the life of the
wicked king, was the tutelary deity of
the children of Ammon, and essentially
identical with the Moabitish Chemosh.
Fire gods appear to have been common
to all the Canaanite, Syrian and Arab
tribes, who Worshiped the destructive ele-
ment under an outward symbol. with the
most inhuman rites. Among these were
human sacrifices, publications and or
deals by fire, devoting of the first born,
mutilation, and vows of perpetual cell
baV and virginity. According to Jew
ish tradition, the image of Moloch was
of brass, hollow within, and was stu
ated without Jerusalem. Kimchi Con
Kings 23:101, describes 1t as ''set within
seven chapels; and who SO offered fine
flour they opened to him one Of them;
who so offered turtle doves or young
pigeons they opened to him two; a lamb
they opened to him three; ram, they
opened to him four; calf, they opened
to him five; an OK, they opened to him
six; and to whoever offered his son
they opened to him seven. And his face
was that of a calf, and his hands
stretched forth like a man who opens his
hands to receive of his neighbour; and
the priests took the babe, and put 1t in
the hands of Moloch, and the babe gave
up the ghost, amidst the noise of the
beating of drums that the dying cries of
the child might be drowned"

THE STORY.
way! Make way! The

SERRAKE way! Make way! The
IVA king is coming"
The words of the heralds sounded
through the streets Of Jerusalem and
caused the gathered throngs to press
back on either side against the walls
of the buildings, leaving clear pas
sageway in the center down which in
the distance could be seen coming
the royal procession. First came the
trumpeters, the clear musical notes of
their horns sounding above the shouts
Of acclaim Of the people and the tramp,
tramp, tramp of the horses feet.
AS the royal chariot came opposite
the point where the street broadened
into kind of square, affording the
people vantage point, and which was
now banked with eager faces, cheer
after cheer rent the air.
'The prince! The prince!" The
throng shouted and in response to the
cry the king bent down and lifting in
his arms the fair young child riding
at his side he held him aloft.
He clapped his chubby little hands
and gurgled in great glee as his father
held him up, and this pleased the peo-
pie immensely and with renewed
shouts they hailed the king and the
beautiful prince.
The royal party was on its wav to
pay homage to the gods whose high
places had been set up within Jeru-
salem, and where ceremonial Worship
was carried on in all the voluptuous-
ness and splendor, of the nations

King Hezekiah, Manassas father.
had left prosperous and extensive
kingdom, and from the moment of his
accession to the throne at IL years of
age, Manassas had displayed a pas
sion to be possessed of all the glory
and magnificence of the nations about
him and had encouraged the introduc-
ton of every form of idolatrous wor-
ship to Jerusalem, setting up the
images of gods and bringing thither
the priests to perform the rites. With
in the past yesr he had caused to be
set up great Brazen image of Moloch,
the fire god, and had displayed an un-
usual interest," in establishing and per-
fecting this form of worship.

SERMONETTE.

= idolatry was the great sin Of
. the Jewish nation, and plunged 4
Z it to its destruction. The first (
y two commandments of the de- 4
4 dialogue read: "Thou shalt have
: no other Gods before me.
q "Thou shalt not make unto 4
thee any craven image, or any (
z likeness of anything that is in

Comic DIGNITY.

Senator La Toilette, criticising .
trust, said:
Its dignity under abuse and at
tack is, somehow, funny. It reminds
me of little Sioux City girl
"One morning she hung about the
kitchen continually, bothering the busy
cook to death.
The cook lost patience finally.
"'Clear out O. here, ye sassy lit.

table with rolling-pin.
The little girl gave the cook q
naughty look.

mother to speak to me like that she
