The LADY Congressman.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Clubwomen OF Denver have determ-
ined and announced that two years
hence, Colorado, by virtue of the votes
Of women, will send a woman as an
elected delegate to the National House
Of Representatives. II Uncle Joe con-
tinues in 1911 to act as moderator in
the deliberative sessions of the House,
and II the lady from Colorado is there
to be moderated, it will be indeed a
picturesque juxtaposition. Uncle Joe
Is far famed for his politeness where
the fair sex Is concerned. He will be
sure to see that Mrs. Sarah Plat
Decker. or whoever it may be, is con-
ceded the last word in any discussion,
and he will not venture to become vi
Imperative or even unduly vehement
In the restraining presence Of femi-
ninity. It Is to be feared that the
claws Of the congressional lion will be
clipped, and that to please the lady
and the thousands of other ladies
whom she represents-he will roar as
gently as any sucking dove. The eff
feet Of the election Of perfect lady
to the House OF Representatives could
only be for the general spiritual and
ethical elevation of the members of
that body-and especially the Speaker
OF the House. In fact. II not in name,
the lady is likely to wrest from
Speaker" Cannon that titular dis
tinction.

Not long ago an Indianapolis drum
mer, known for his ability to get over
ground in a hurry. had one Of old
Henry's rigs with which he drove to a
neighboring town. Part Of the way
was over a corduroy road. The drum
mers business detained him longer
than he expected. and when he finally
got back IN the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch train.
He made the livery outfit scamper
along the road at a lively pace. Final
~. when he struck the corduroy road.
he felt something snap and knew that
he had broken a spring on the buggy.
He saws visions Of having to make
the damage good to old Henry. When
he reached the barn he jumped out and
said:
Henry. I broke a spring. How
much do I owe yeu?"
How did you break it. Gus:" asked
the liveryman.
Driving like the dickens over a

frankly.

A MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
It Requires Careful Smoking to Color
Il Prooerly

II Properly.
Ordinarily a meerSchaum pipe Is
boiled for coloring in preparation OF
wax. which is absorbed and thin
coating Of wax is held on the surface
Of the pipe and made to take high
polish. Under the wax IS retained the
oil Of tobacco. which is absorbed by
the pipe. aud its hue grows darker in
proportion to the tobacco used. 4
lneerschaum pipe at first should be
smoked very slowly. and hefore sec
ond bowIful is lighted the pipe should
cool of. This is to keep the wax rs
tar up the bowl as possible. and
rapid smoking will overlieat. driving
the wax OF and leaving the pipe dry
and raw.
A new pipe should never be smoked
outdoors in extremely cold weather.
FIJI the pipe and smoke down about
one-third, or to the height to which
you wish color. Leave the remainder
Of the tobacco in the pipe and do not
or until the desired color is obtained.
When smoking put fresh tobacco on
the top and smoke to the same level.
When once burned the pipe cannot be
satisfactorily colored unless the burn
ed portion Is removed and the surface
again treated by the process by which
meerschaum is prepared. The color
ing is produced by the action Of the
smoke upon the oils and wax which
are specifically on the exterior Of the
pipe and are applied in the same proc
ess Of manufacture.-Londo Answers.

The Game Of Cricket,

Cricket dates from the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth and had its origin in
FOUNDERS and stool ball. Lord Chester
field was the first man Of weight to
take it up seriously and Elton the first
public school, In those days scores
were notched upon tally sticks. the
ball had heavy cross seams. the bats
were curved. and the feeders stood al
most in Indian file. The early laws OF
the game had their inception at the
Star and Garter inn. Pail Mall, and
one Of the few Of these original laws
which obtain today is that OF the
tossup. The wickets were twenty-five
inches high and the ball six inches in
length. The first county match was
when Kent played England in I'LL.
and on this occasion vast sums Of
money changed hands.

MAN WAS TOO IMPuDENT
AND THE JUDGE RULED THAT
STONE HAD RIGHT TO AS
sAuLT HIM AND INFORM HIM
He WAS "A BLACK DOG"

Baltimore, Md, jury 29.-Decla-:rs
that the assault was jutifiable. Police
Magistrate Eugene Grammar discussed
the charge against Senator William J.
Stone &C Missouri, of having assaulted
Lawrence G. Brown. a waiter on Il
Pennsylvania railroad train. s1stice
Grammar said:
Senator Stone, l have travelled a
great deal in my time. / can fully ap-
preciate the treatment that you re-
ceived at the hands of Brown, who, i.
has been shown, was discourteous in
the extreme. I feel that YOU had su'ii
cient provocation, and that You were
absolutely justified in reprim adding
and striking Brown. l dismiss YOU
The crowd applauded until the Mag
istrate raped sharply for orde:.
Senator Stone was surrounded by
congratulating friends, among them
being Murray Vandivoor, the ire 4surer
of Maryland and o',ers prominent
politically here as he left the station
where he had spent most uncomfort-
able hour or two last night
And Gave Him a Ride.
The case which brought to the bar
of the central station perhaps its most
distinguished prisoner, grew out Of
an incident of the trip Tuesday OF
Senator Stone from Philadelphia to
that night when policeman of the
Pennsylvania railroad entered his car
and placing him under arrest sent the
senator to the station house in the
patrol wagon. accompanied by Brown,
who charged the senator with having
assaulted him.
Senator Stone and his counsel took
their places in the ordinary prisoner s
dock when the case was called.
At this point an attorney for the
Pennsylvania railroad and the Pull
man company requested that the case
be dismissed. saying that neither of
the companies he represents desired to
press the charge.
Brown, being the complainant, was
asked by the magistrate whether he
desired to prosecute the case and he
replied:
Il do; l insist on his being tried"
Heard the Testimony.
Senator Stone took deep interest in
the proceedings as one witness after
another gave their testimony.
James Owens the cook on the buffet
car, said there was some trouble over
the serving of an order to the senator
and that he heard the latter threaten
to shoot and kill the BLACK dog as
Owens expressed it. He added that
Brown had delivered the food intend
ed for the senator to some one else by
mistake.
Brown testified that Senator Stone
used very abusive language to him in
connection with the order, saying, 81
! was shocked at what he said: deed
was. Then he struck me right in my
mouth"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

Wide Ocorways.

In the making over Of an old house.
as also in building a new one. it is al
ways n good plan to have the door
ways in the rooms on the first floor
made unusually wide. almost as large
as the rooms themselves. for in this
way a greater sense Of space and airi,
ness is given even when the house is
not large. Portieres may be hung in
these roomy doorways to keep away
drafts and to give certain privacy.
but in warm sumner days and also
when entertaining a large number Of
persons the portieres may be drawn
back and almost the entire ground
floor thus transformed into one large
room.-Baltimore American.
