Members of the group scattered about the smoking room looked up at the new arrival. He was tall ana young and his clothes were of the lat- est pattern.
 Why. there's Jimmiel" was the cry. Hello, Jimnie!"
 ''Where've you been?"
 First time you've dropped in this fall!'
 "'Ullo," said Jimmie. He said it in a particularly standoffish way, too, but the exuberance of the good feelings among his friends prevented the fact from being noticed. He stood there surveying them rather scornfully.
 Why don't you sit down?" asked the bravest of the group. Here's a chair that's not working. Or have William bring you on whole couch. Or ask to have billiard table push ed in and a rug thrown over it! Just anything, Jimmie, so you are suited"
 "Huhi" said the object of these pleasantries. Don't know that I'm go- ing to stay"
 ''Then why come?" went on the bravest. You don't look happy, now that I observe you more closely. You don't seemed pleased to death to be where you are Whats the trouble?"
 "Oh, nothing" said Jimmie. He sat down grudgingly and stared at the fire. The group surveyed him with interest.

 NO" interrupted Jimmie, shortly. He yawned. Eve cut out the theater. If it isn't foolish, it's stupid. Nothing in it!"

 Last time" said Jimmie, cutting ly, that I went around to see Arthur he was out. Whats the good of hav- ing friends if they're out when you call? Why can't a fellow stay in oc- casionally? Besides, he's had cold and ought to say in; Why he can't he have sense enough to know he shouldn't be outdoors on such an even ing as the one when I called there?"
 Well, maybe he felt better" said the pacifier. soothingly. Anyhow, just asked to fill up time. Did you have a nice summer. Your card said you liked the place"

A Local Need.

MT Editor: The growing interest of the people of the country in the anti tuberculosis movement and the recent occasional references to the same in the columns of the daily press leads me to call the attention of Norwich people to the great need there is in this city of some suitable provision for the care of tubercular patients outside their own homes.
 In many cases such patients live in unsanitary or cramped quarters, un- der conditions very unfavorable for proper treatment or recovery, and most conducive to the spread of the in lection. It is believed that many deaths from tuberculosis might have been prevented if timely and suitable aid had been rendered.
 The district nurses, visiting homes in Norwich, under the direction of the United Workers, report 20 deaths dur ing the past 12 months of patients of theirs, 15 of which were due to tuber- culosis. These patients were ot all ages, and some of the conditions un- der which they sickened and died were painful and ought to have been i'm possible in this fair town.
 I append notes of two leases" which fairly represent the general situation.
 Case "A''-Nurse sent to case at 10 a. m Found patient, a young woman aged 26. in an indescribable state of dirt and disorder. Temperature 102, pulse 120 and running up on the slight est exertion, respiration shallow, rapid and uneven. Frequent and distressing paroxysms of coughing, accompanie6 with pr6fuse expectoration. Greatly ernaciated and too weak to do anything for self or child, boy two years old. Her person was very dirty--said she had been unable to bathe for a long time because of extreme weakness.
 The house, a tenement of three rooms. of which two only were in use, was about the dirtiest place the writer had ever seen-sink, table and stove in kitchen were piled with dirty dishes, empty bottles. corned beef cans, etc Soiled clothes on chairs and in cor ners, and a tub full of wet, dirty clothes smelling to heaven. Tn the bedroom was a double bed with mat tress and bedding, both filthy. All the floors and walls apparently covered with the dirt of ages. and over all hung

THE PRESIDENT HEARD FROM.

Congress indited some resolutions
calling on the president to explain
what he meant about the secret SER
vice illusions in connection with
members of the house Of representa-
tives and senate The members of the
house felt that their honor had been
touched with the reference made by
the president when he said that the
congressman feared investigation by
the secret service men, and since then
the congressman have been pretty
Congress asked for some information
about what the president meant, and
he gave it to the inquirers with suil
Gent force as to satisfy them-it is
thought. According to the president,
congress misconstrued his allegations
in that he did not refer specifically
but in general way. Inasmuch as
congress saw fit to spear the president
he took occasion to put some of the
members of the house on the spit,
notably Speaker Cannon, Smith, Sher-
ley and Tawney, the latter three lead
ing the debate in the house, and Sher-
ley going SO far as to say that the.
secret-service men should not be per-
mltted to investigate member of
congress. The president did not hest
tate to reiterate his former statement
that congress did great service to
the criminals of the country when it
restricted the appropriation and there
by made it impossible for the secret
department to continue it's work on
the lines that have been laid down
during the Roosevelt administration.
The president spoke his mind pretty
freely in his answer. 1t is not felt
that congress ought to have placed
restrictions on the secret service de-
partment and thus make it impossible
for certain work to be done that is
really demanded in the interests of
justice. 1t is impossible for the con
gressmen to place themselves above
suspicion, and avoid any possible en-
tanglement whereby the secret ser
vice department would be called upon
to camp on their trail.
