] Washington, Mar. S.-This is the
day consecrated and set apart to the
dead ducks"-those whose official
careers will come to an end on the
morrow.
Foremost of all the dead ducks" is
President Roosevelt, who is spending
his last day in the White House, with
a very live duck, William II. Taft, as
his guest
In the senate the best known OF the
dead ducks are Platt, of New York,
and Foraker, of Ohio, each of whom
will complete twelve years service to-
morrow.
Other retiring senator's and their
length of service are as follows:
Ankeny, Washington, six years,
Fulton, Oregon, six years; Gary, South
Carolina, one year; Hansbrough,
North Dakota, eighteen years; Hemen-
! way. Indiana, four years; Kittredge,
South Dakota. eight years; Long,
Kansas six years; McCreary. Ken
lucky, five years; Milton, Florida, one
year; Teller, Colorado, twenty-four
| years
OF the 391 members of the Sixey-
first House, seventy-siX will then serve
| their first terms as representatives,
while there will be six representa-
tives wo did not serve in the SiXtieth
congress, but were members of prev
ious houses. In the present congress
there are ninety-one men who are
serving their first terms, and eleven
who did not succeed themselves, but
were members of former congresses,
which may be held to show that the
people like the present members of
the house somewhat better than they
did that of the Fifty-ninth congress.
ColoradO's whole delegation in the
next congress will be new to the halls
Of national legislation. There are
only three of them, however while
Indiana sends eight new men. leading
all the states in that respect: Iowa
sends five, Missouri six, New York
seven, Ohio six and Pennsylvania
seven. Delegations from California,
Kansas, New Hampshire, Oregon,
Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming are
solidly Republican, while those from
Nevada and South Carolina are solidly
Democratic. Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Texas send solidly Democratic delega-
tions, but their composition will not
be the same as in the SiXtieth con-
gress. The states sending solidiy
Republican delegations, although not
the same men as in the Sixtieth con-
gress. are Ohio. Maine, Michigan,
North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont
and Washington.
Uncle Joe" Cannon, the speaker,
leads all in length of service, the six
tieth congress making his eighteenth
term. He was new member in the
forty-thrd congress and has served
continuously since, save for the fifty
second congress. Bingham. of Penn
sylvania, exceeds him in length of con-
tinuous service, the siXty-first con-
gress being his sixteenth term without
break.

STARTLING DEFINITIONS

nNE would think that high school boys and
~ girls were sufficiently schooled in knowl-
edge outside of the textbooks to answer few
innocent quizzes But here is what happened
in a we'll regulated high schoolin an eastern city
Among the questions were these What IS
a bronco?" What IS boomerang!" What
is pantomime,' What is a cartoone" And
these four excited some most remarkable an
swers. The following bona fide replies taken at
random from the papers, show in many cases
decided originality. to say the least; but they
likewise display the effect of imperfect enuncia-
ton and pronunciation and of the association
of ideas without due regard to sense"
In reply to the first query, What is
bronco?" were the following: bronco is an
herb used medicine; part of your body.
a foreigner. a man that lives on ranches
What is boomerang?" called forth, among
others, these A boomerang is species of the
baboon family, what an Indian chews some
thing explosive
The replies to What is pantomi1ne?" in
Guided the following pantomine is an ami
NAL that eats human flesh; person who finds
fault; man who is always on the bad side of
everything; a trunk box to carry people in
resting on the shoulders of four men; vision
of ones former sins.
AS for the question, What is cartoon?"
that seemed to excite the widest ideas of ALL
and there were brought forth such answers as
these: A cartoon IS vessel for holding articles
a strong wndstorm; kind of fish; bunch of
flowers presented to hero or nobleman; a
soldiers water bottle; statue; a strong gust
of wind.
