Mr.. Payne refused to withdraw his

of the demand, and Speaker Cannon
provoked loud laughter by consuming
full minute in searching for supporters
of the demand, and then announcing
that only one had risen.
After a 13-minute session the House
adjourned until noon on the following
day.
little later the Vice President, the
Speaker. Mr.. Payne and several other
members started for the ball grounds.
"Col" John Marshall Harlan, Asso-
ciate Justice of the United States SUI
preme Court, was &c years old last
Tuesday, June 1. lie is hale and hearty,
plays golf with the Youngest, and seeIns
in spirit to be about so. No special
notice was taken of the eminent jurist's S
natal day, but he received greetings
from Chief Justice Fuller and hundreds
of friends thruout the country.
President Taft is accepting lot of
invitations to go places, but you don't
hear much about it till he is there.
There is no biff, bang, about his going
or about his coming back. You hear
that he is invited, and then you read
some day in the paper how enthusiasts
tically he is being received by his ador-
ing constituents in some distant city.
President Taft is great big man phys
ically as well as mentally, hut he gets
around very quietly and everybody likes
him He takes to society with ruuch
better grace than might have heen ex-
pected. Mrs. Roosevelt had to manage
her garden parties and teas without the
President, but Mrs. Taft has the Presi-
dents support at all her "doings."
Mr.. Galloway, Thomas Galloway, Of
Glasgow, Scotland, and Mrs. Thomas
Galloway. his wife, are sojourning in
Washington briefly. Mr.. Galloway
thinks Washington the prettiest town"
in the world. Mr.. Galloway, who is a
millionaire distiller, by the way. says
that the United States has but two
cities, and they are Chicago and New
York. But Mr.. Galloway finds things
to object to. Yes'm. We eat too much,
he says.
81 cannot approve of the way Ameri-
cans eat" declared Mr.. Galloway.
There is too much butchers meat con-
sumed here. and it is not so good as
ours, while your poultry-welI, some of
it appears as if the fowls may have
been training for a Derby. Yes, you
eat too much. Eating kills far more
people than drinking, I believe. 1t is
always best to get up from meal in
condition to sit down to another one if
necessary"
And Mr.. Galloway seems to have his
thinker on real straight. too.
Some people think that it is only
iandlubbers who get seasick. Lieut.
Palmer, of the United States Navy SAYS:
The fact is, some sailors get sick
time after time, until finally their sys-
TENS get so hardened to the process of
upheayal that even a ships biscuit
won't stay down. / have personally
tried all the classified forms of seasick-
ness and some not yet named. and take
me as an authority when tell you that
a battle isn't in it with such an attack
For instance, / know that il the crew
of battleship were all seasick, one
man with a. popgun could capture it
and run up any old flag he pleased.
Talking about seasickness always re-
minds me of the trip I took on the
Monterey. from San Francisco, at the
close of the Spanish-American War.
The Monterey is a double-turreted mon
itor of the 1893 model Its decks were
always awash, because they were within
few inches of saltwater level 1t was
created by the War Department for
coast-defense purposes when our small
Navy ran mostly to Ms. completing the

Marietta, Machias, Montgomery and
Mohican.
The orders were to take the Monte
rey at once to Manila, to be held there
indefinitely, and so we started with
crew of about 900 men and more officers
'Seasickness? We had ii in copious
quantities all the way over. Storm after

about in the water. Tropical heat and

over the 1G0-mark in our staterooms,
where we had to stay most of the time,
because of the uncertainty of the decks
An the way TO Honolulu the Monte
rey bounced and rolled. and many of
the officers and men took turns ap-
preaching the fence of chains around
the deck on the side where the turrets
held off the wind. There, unmindful of
the water which licked over their shoes,
