House Parliamentarian No Longer Shy

from the presses eight large volumes
labeled "Hinds' Precedents," each Of
which is as large as the standard doc
tors book, usually found in all we'll
regulated homes. These volumes are
full of the lore of parliamentary pro-
cedure in the house of representatives,
and out of them Mr. Kinds has already
demonstrated to the satisfaction OF
Representative Gardner Of Massachu-
setts, at any rate, that q prepon-
derance of the testimony" in favor Of
any ruling by the chair can always be
found to rest on Hinds' side In any
controversy. Recently Mr.. Kinds wrote
what he declares was 10,000-word ex-
planation of the rules Of the house,
and one wellknown newspaper boiled
the manuscript down to two lines.
A newspaper man has paraphrased
the old song, Jane Of Maine," SO that
it runs as follows:

When he went down to Washington he

back,
He had a naughty little twinkle in his

Tom Cat Is Devoted to His Old Home

made his bed since the destruction of
his birthplace.
At five o'clock every morning back
he comes and takes his accustomed
place beneath the chair, where his
saucer of milk awaits him. No matter
how inclement the weather, Tom AL
ways manages to find his way to the
sw1tchman's stand, and there remains
all day.
Tom was the only member Of 4
family Of six kittens who refused to
depart from the depot when workmen
began to demolish it, and despite the
fact that nothing remains to mark the
once famous structure, this feline
creature Is so strongly attached to the
surroundings that he cannot be in
duced to forego an uncomfortable
home for luxurious quarters uptown.
During the recent snowstorm that
lasted two or three days, said Mr..
Nichols, the cat was late one morning
in reporting at the little platform
where the chair is located, and he was
just preparing to 60 down the street
to bring him out of his loft when he
heard the wanderer calling for help.
He was stranded in a pile Of snow
and trying vainly to resume his Jour
ney to the favorite spot on tho corner.

Born in the old Baltimore & Ohio

A SHER c. KINDS, parliamentarian
"a Of the house of representatives. is
by nature one of those modest and re-
firing men who can tell a speaker how
to bring CONSERVATION to his political
and parliamentary antagonists when
the speaker does not know how to do
It himself, and the next moment meet
those confounded face to face, to hear
some such an expression as this:
'Well, Kinds, If we had had you on
our side We would have won a mile."
Somehow or other the things Kinds
does to members of the house through
the mouth Of the speaker in carrying
out his Official duties, which are to
