a Compromise.
From the Delinpator

This little 3-year-old hungry Amer
lean was with his mother at the home
of a neighbor. The neighbours little boy
was eating piece of chicken. Hubert
wanted q piece of chicken. but it was
all they had. fLc then asked for a bite
but the other little fellow objected The
two mothers then took a hand. and
amidst MANY "yes's'' and NOS on
their part, Hubert slenced the whole
business by saying: Well, just let me
smell the bone The bone was handed
to him. and he Very soberly took a long,
delicious smell and handed it back.

Close. close TO my cottage door,

For many a day before.

No task can be dun monotony.

SENATOR KNOX RESIGNS
PECULIAR CONDITION WILL RE.
suit IN RULES COMMITTEE.
Some One Not Now a Member of
That Body Will Have to Be APP
pointed It's Chairman

When Senator Knox resigns from the
Senate to become a member of Mr.. Taft's
cabinet a peculiar situation will arise
with reference to the Craftsmanship of
the Senate committee on rules of which
Mr.. Knox is now the chairman. II will
become necessity to appoint as chair
man of that committee "a man who is
not now a member of il and doubtless
never has been. 1t is seldom, indeed.
that such thing has been done
The present republican members of the
rules committee are Senators Knox OF
Pennsylvania. Aldrich of Rhode Island,
Elkins of West Virginia and Lodge of
Massachusetts. None of Mr. Knox's
survivors on the committee will be able
to take the job for the reason that they
already hold more important chairman
ships. Mr.. Aldrich is chairman of the
finance committee: Mr. Elkins of the COM
mittee on interstate commerce. and Mr..
Lodge of the Philippines committee.
Root Suggested.
1t has been suggested that Mr. Root if
he is elected as senator from New
York to succeed Mr.. Plat which now
seems certain, would be the man for the
place. This. OF course would not pre-
vent MIR. Root from going on the foreign
affairs and other important committees,
for whose work he iS peculiarly fitted.
but 1t is too early to tell for certain how
the committee assignments will be af-
fected by Mr.. knoX's resignation.
1t is a matter that will not have 10 be
tackled until after March l. anyhow. and
perhaps not until next fall. for the extra
session may proceed without the reorgan-
iation of committees since it will doubt
less be for the revision of the tariff only.
and the tariff is subject with which the
finance committee will have TO deal.
Assigning New Offices.
The rules committee will have one duty
10 perform before Very long that is not
looked forward TO with any degree of
pleasure by the members. and which
may require it to be duly organized this
spring, although Mr. Aldrich could act
as chairman for that purpose. This is
the assignments of the rooms in. the new
office building. Every senator already
has idea of where in that building he
would like to CO.. and the man or men,
who decide the question are going to be
up against d proposition that is likely 10
cause a little worry. to say the least.
Il may be deemed advisable To move
some OF the important committees into
the new building. This would bring
kicks from chairmen who are at pres
eut quartered conveniently near the SEN
ate chamber. 1t may become necessary
for the Senate to send one or two COM
mittees over willy nilly, as was the case
with the ways and means committee of
The House last winter

Office building will be ready for occupan-
cy. " may be this spring and it may

After Mrs. Nettie A. Hance had told
