1t is evident that there is a serious
defect Of some sort in the modus op-
erandi Of the national house of repre-
sentatives. Every once in a while it is
necessary for that body to adopt new
and peculiar rule in order that it may
transact the necessary business which
comes before it. This makes it apparent
that the regular rules of the house
scarcely i'll the bill.

Close PLANT Out of Respect For Negre

The unusual spectacle of a large
manufacturing plant closing down a
most important department during a
busy season because of the death of
a faithful negro employee was witnessed
here today when the veneer manufac-
turing department of the large factory
of B. c. FARRELL & Company shut down
at dinner a the request of about a
hundred negro employees that this be
done so they could attend the funeral
services of Uncle John Davis, an old
time negro and ex-slave, who died at
his home here last night. The old ne
gro had worked at this plant for near
" 20 years and was thoroughly re-
spected by all who knew him.-Hum-

Needless Wear of Roads by Autos

A county surveyor protests against
the habit which many motorists
have of doing the majority of their
driving on the crown or center Of the
road This method of driving means
that one portion of the road takes
all the wear, and naturally, of course,
gets worn into ruts and ridges.
If the traffic would spread itself
and make all that portion of the road
from the gutter to the top of the
crown take share of the wear road
surfaces would last much longer and
would require less frequent repair. In
these days when roads are made al
most fiat there is no excuse for this
habit of clinging to the crown; but
where roads are made with a great
deal of Gambler it is perhaps excus-
able, as driving on a continuous
slope is the reverse of pleasant.-Gen-
tleWoman.

Getting Ready Tor a Fresh start.

Gwendolyn de Courtenay, the hand

agitated. Even a blind baggage car
could see hat, She paced up and down
IL front of the large cheval-glass in
her room. Evidently she was greatly
aggrieved over something. Finally her
highstrung nerves got churned up to
such a pitch that she lost control of
herself and began to clutch and tear
wildly at her hair, pulling it out in
large handfuls.
Your sympathetic nature is arouse1and
you cry: THE poor woman is tempo

stop her before she does herself bodily
injury. She must be in terrible men
tai agony to stand the pain of pulling
her hair out by the roots"
But hist! Be not too lavish with your
sympathy, friend. Up to now Gwendo-
Ign has only pulled off IA pounds of
puffs, three miles of interlocking switch
es, and a few detachable curls. She
has some distance to go yet before she
touches the real, cross-your- heart hair
Gwendolyn is merely distracted because

HOUSE STIRRED UP.
Proposed to Print 2.OOO,O 900 Copies
of the Record.

There was quite a row on the floor
of the House this afternoon when The
printing committee reported its reso-
luton for the printing of 2.O00,OO0
copies OF the House proceedings in con-
nection with the official rebuke to the
President for his secret service utter
ances concerning members of Congress.
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
setts made a point of order against the
resolution on the ground that the two
million copies were not for the use of
members OF the House and could not be
used by them. He said it was merely
desire to spread broadcast the criti-
cisms Of the President.
While Speaker Cannon was looking up
the presidents, which occupied ten or
fifteen minutes. members OF the House
displayed their intense interest in the
matter BY crowding down the aisles NIL

CITIZEN TO RESCUE
OF ILL USED HORSE
IL. j. Logan Interfefcs when Animal
Is Being Senselessly Punished
By Its Driver.

r. j. Logan of the Rose Land COM
pany did a piece of practical Chris
tianity Tuesday when he jumped from
the sidewalk on south Second street,
descended into the excavation where
the basement of the new Larson build
ing will be constructed and put a
check to cruelty to which a horse was
being subjected. The animal, bleed
ing from the mouth, appeared to be
confused by the actions of the driver
and did not respond to his demands.
Thereupon the driver went to it's head,
seized the bit on each side of the
mouth and sawed it back and forth
across the gums. How long he would
have kept up his treatment, which
was not only brutal but senseless,
cannot be told. He quit it at once
when Mr.. Logan told him there had
been enough.
