CHAPTER I.

Amelia came running eagerly down
the wide stairs, and though she was
smiling with the joy of Vernon's COM
ing, she stopped on the bottom step
long enough to shake out the skirt of
the new spring gown she wore, with a
manner that told she had it on that
evening for the first time. Vernon
fastened to meet her, and it was not
until he had kissed her and released
her from his embrace that she saw the
dressing-case he had set down in the
hall.
What's that for?" she asked in
alarm. Her smile faded suddenly, leav-
ing her face wholly serious.

piled, almost guilty..

Amelia stopped and looked at him in
amazement

Mondays until five o'clock in the after
noon?" she said.
1T doesn't, usually; but had a tel
egram from Porter an hour ago;
there's to be a conference in the morn

They started toward the drawing
room. Amelia was pouting in her dis
appointment.
Il knew something would spoil it,
she said, Enthusiastically. And then she
added. presently: Il thought that Mon

longer than a minute. You never went
down before until Monday night"

nearing its close, we're buster than we

and then as if. she had suddenly hit
upon an unanswerable argument she
went on: ''If that's so why do you

TUESDAY, MARCH is, 1908.
THE DEFEAT OF CANNON.

The best thing that has happened
in political life for many years was
the defeat Monday by vote of 1913
to 1S9 of the Dalzell resolution max
ing the rules Of last session there
for the present session.
The revolt throughout the country
against the domination of Speaker
Cannon has at last found expression
in the House. During the three terms
of the present Speaker, it has been
impossible to pass anything in the
House of Representatives unless it
met with the approval of Cannon and
the little coterie that had gathered
around him.
The ordinary Congressman had as
much influence in the House of Rep
resentatives as the present writer. He
might just as well have stayed at
home so far as securing Legislation
was concerned unless he was
henchman of the Speaker.
No bill could be even gotten out of
the Committee of the House to which
it was sent by the Speaker after its
introduction unless it was agreeable
to the Speaker. No measure could
be brought to vote unless Cannon
had been first privately seen by the
member and terms made.
The House machine was the great
stumbling block in the way of the re-
form measures of the Roosevelt adj
ministration. The same machine
stood in the way of the reform tariff
schedules Of President Taft. 1t was
only by means Of threat of a fight
from the President-elect that the
Speaker was brought far enough to
terms to agree to measure of tariff
relief. And but few thoughtful men
really believed that Cannon was hon
est in his promises to be. good.
A few Republican members in the
last two or three sessions have stood
out against the Cannon rules. But
until Monday they could never muster
votes enough even with the aid of the
Democrats to wrest the power from
the Speaker. But in the last cleo
ton, several strong Cannon support
ers were beaten and many Republi-
cans in the Middle West won their
fight for election on an open pledge
that they would refuse support to
the Cannon program.
The vote Monday means that the
beginning of the end is at hand for
the Cannon regime. 1t has been
shown that he can be beaten and this
struggle will encourage the insurgents
to finally put him out of business.
The step will restore the House
to its old position as a deliberative
body, an dwiIl tend to give it back
its old predominant place as the main

First Omnibus.

Omnibus" was an almost brand
new word in its modern sense when
Shillibeer took it from the French in
1929, and in France the name pos
sessed special significance for those
who knew their history, for from 1872
to 1876 Paris had already seen regu-
lar service Of roomy public vehicles,
"carosses a cling SOUS" Only these
predecessors of the modern bus were
not "omnibus''-for all. The letters
patent which instituted them for the
benefit Of middle class people laid
down that they were not to be used by
soldiers, lackeys or any other wearers
Of livery or artisans and laborers.
These exclusive vehicles faded out of
existence, and the new ones. which
were started in Paris in 1923, were
named Omnibus expressly to signify
their democratic character. - London

AIM TO SUCCEED.
The Self Improvement Habit as &
Business Asset.

The Self Improvement Habit as q
Business Asset.
The very reputation Of having an
ambition to amount to something in
the world, of having a grand life aim,
is worth everything, says writer in
Success Magazine. The moment your
associates find that you are dead in
earnest that you mean business, that
they cannot shake you from your de-
termination to get on in the world or
rob you of your time or pr rsuade you
to waste it in frivolous things you
will not only be an inspiring example
to them, but the very people who are
throwing away their time will also
admire your stand, respect it and profit
by it, and you will thus be able to pro-
tect yourself from a thousand annoy
ances and time MASTERS and expert
ences which would only hinder you.
In other words, there is everything
in declaring yourself, in taking stand
and thereby announcing to the world
that you do not propose to be failure
or an ignora mus; that you are going
to prepare yourself for something out
Of the ordinary, away beyond medioc-
rity, something large and grand.
The moment you do this you stand
out in strong contrast from the great
mass Of people who are throwing away
their opportunities and have not grit
and stamina enough to do anything
worth while or to make any great ef-
fort to be somebody in the world.

All thu Difference,

Among the patients in the private
ward Of Philadelphia hospital there
was recently testy old millionaire OF
that city whose case gave his physi-
clan considerable difficulty at first.
"Well," asked the crusty patient one
morning, chow do you find me now,
eh?"
you're getting on fine," responded
the doctor, rubbing his hands with an
air Of satisfaction. "Your legs are still
swollen, but that doesn't trouble me-"
"Of course it doesn'tv' howled the
old man. "And let me tell you this:

THE WORD "BANZAI."
It Has Been Used In Japan From the
Earliest Ages.

~ Ts0o 1SSh SSC0 III SCPd" VP0" b0
Earliest Ages.
1t is not infrequent to find men spec
ulating as to the origin Of the now ia
miliar "banzai," and we believe that a
general impression classes this excel
lent ejaculation among the inventions
Of modern Japan. Quite recently In
deed we heard learned Japanese de-
clare that the late Professor Toyama
was the originator Of the word as the
Japanese equivalent Of "hurrah." But
the truth is that "banzar' belongs to
very much remoter date. History
shows that it was used certainly as
long ago as the year 486 A. D., and
probably it was not an innovation
even then. In the CHRONICLES Of ia
pan," a work published in the year
$40 A. D., it is related that in the
spring of 4S6 A. D. the Emperor
Woke. remembered by posterity as
"Kenzo, Tenno," repaired to the' park
Of the summer hall and there held
revel by 1.-The winding streams" His
guests were a concourse of ministers
and Of high officials known at that
epoch under the titles of Omi. Muraji
and Miyakko. When the feast was at
its height the guests, we read, raised
repeated cries Of banzai." 1t may
fairly be assumed that this formula
of graduation did not originate then,
but at any rate its undoubted use in
Japan more than fourteen centuries
ago deprives any Meiji savant of the
credit of having invented it.-Japan

ton With the Art.
On the occasion of Artemus Ward's
professional visit to London, which &C.
CURED not long before his death, J. e.
Preston Muddock says in his book,
"Pages From an Adventurous Life" "
that the American humorist's adver-
tisements Of his "show'' were as full
of funny surprises as the lectures
themselves. One that tickled the gen.
eral public was this:
Artemus Ward Delivered Lectures
Before All the Crowned Heads OF Europe
Ever Thought Of Delivering Lectures.
And an excerpt from his lecture on
"Drawing'' is quoted by Mr.. Muddock
as particularly delightful bit.
II haven't distinguished myself as
an artist" Ward said in his 1nimitable
way, "but have always been mixed
up in art. l have an uncle who takes
photographs in his sane moments, and
l have a servant who takes everything
he can lay his hands on at any mo-
ment.
AT very tendeH age l could draw
on wood. When 4 mere child I once
drew a small cart load of raw turnips
over a wooden bridge. 1t was raw
morning. The people Of the village
recognized me. They said it was a
raw turnip drawing. That shows how
faithfully l had copied nature. I drew
their attention to it, so you see there
was lot Of drawing in it.
1.-THE villagers, with the wonderful
discernment peculiar to villagers, said
I had future before me. As was
walking backward when l made my
drawing replied that thought that
my future must be behind me.'

THE GORDON BLEU.'
At First an Order For Women Cooks
Established by Louis XIV.

At First an Order For Women Cooks
Established by Louis XIV.
When you hear a man spoken Of as
q Gordon bleu" you know he Is a
great cook, but few people have any
idea of, how and when the expression
originated. The Gordon bleu was at
first an order for women cooks. 1t
was established by king-which
makes it real, proper order. Louis
XIV. once asserted to Nine. du Barry
that only men could cook really well.
The famous beauty challenged the as
sertion, but the king insisted that he
was right-that women might be all
right for boiling potatoes and per-
forming the simpler operations Of
cooking, but that when 1t came to
work of art it took a man.
Soon after this argument the royal
favorite invited the king to dinner.
He praised every dish; he even ex-
pressed his august approval Of the
menu as a whole. Then his hostess
triumphantly announced to him that
the entire dinner had been prepared
by women, from the arrangement Of
the menu and the selection Of the
dishes to the preparation of the sauces
and the sweets and the serving Of the
several plats. Accordingly she claimed
the foundation Of an order Of merit for
her female cooks. The claim was at
once granted, and the Gordon bleu
was fret conferred unOn the women Of
Nine. du Barry's kitchen.
Gourmets Of today would be inclined
to say that, however great the cooks
of Nine. du Barry may have been in
their day, the dictum OF Louis XIV.
would be true today. There are now
few great hotels or restaurants in the
world in which cookery is a fine art
where the chef is not a man.-New
York World.

Hannibal In Italy.

Hannibal entered northern Italy in
the year 218 B. G. and gained during
that year the two victories Of Tictnus
and Trebia, both in Cisalpine Gaul.
The next year he advanced farther
south and defeated the Romans at
Trasymenus, and the year following,
having proceeded still farther south,
he inflicted upon them the terrible de-
feat at Cannae, at which time his as
tendency attained it's maximum. BE
remained for thirteen years longer,
but gained no more decisive victories.
He was finally recalled by the authori-
ties at Carthage, who had never CIV

have run off three of the events
which will count in the scoring.
Slow fire at 200 yards was the first
thing we took up, and today we
started in rapid fire at 200 yards,
and slow fire at 600 yards. In rapid
fire, the shooter must fire five shots
in twenty seconds, using the maya
zine of his gun. The others are shot
in the regular way and the marks
man takes his time and chooses his
position
At eight o'clock this morning,
skirmagh firing began on the range.
This is little different from the di-
rect shooting, as the marksman has
to start at 800 yards, and run up to
to the target, dropping to the ground
at every advance, and making his
shots while hiC range is changing.
1t is the most severe and at the same
time the most practical test Of a
military sharpshooter that can be
made.
Following is the list of the fifteen
high men so far in the competition.
The score given below is the point
they reached on a scale of $50. 1t
may be we'll to say that the $50
score is only an ideal, for no man

The Noble Pike.

In size. in courage and in strength
the pike rivals. in historic claim to no.
bility it exceeds. even the royal salmon
itself. King Edward L., who fixed the
price of fish then brought to market.
rated the pike above the salmon and
more than ten times higher than that
of the best cod or turbot In the reign
of Henry VIII. a large one was sold
for double the price of house lamb
in February and Il small pickereI for
more than fat capon. Its greater
reputation is probably to he explained
ly the old custom in the great houses
ard abbeys of England of having their
private stew ponds. so that fresh wa
ter fish were the luxury of the rich.
while the salmon could be caught in
the sea and so never attained the rank
and dignity of fashionable food. To-
day his artificial value is gone. and the
salmon has taken the place upon the
tables of the rich as much for the
beauty of its pink flesh as for the
superior flavor of the meat.-London
