Washington.-"Wake, William Al

tor from Michigan at two o'clock one
morning. according to a very old
story. The senator then was only .

robbers in the housed"
"Oh, no." said Mr.. Smith, sleepily,
there may be robbers in the senate,
but there is none in the house."
William F. Masters of jamestown,
N. T.. the other afternoon made
solemn assertion that the senate not
only contains robbers, but q certain
percentage of sneak thieves.
Mr.. Masters was curious to hear the
tariff debate and sought to enter one
Of the reserved galleries, carrying a
nice little satchel. The vigilant door
keeper informed him Of the rule that
NO satchels may be taken inside, the
idea being to exercise precautions
against bomb-throwing. He placed his
valise just outside the door and
went In.
The valise had nothing at all in it
but $50 in good American cash, pat

and bundle of valuable letters. Mr..
Masters thought the senate was fun.

and had the time Of his life. When
he came out and stopped down to pick
up the satchel there was nothing in
sight but vacant spot on the floor
ne made an awful roar. but that did
not produce the missing valise or its
contents.
Hence the final conclusion of Mr.
Masters that 1t is imprudent to lug
around money or valuables on the sen.
ate side Of the capitol.

Francis w. Cushman. the elongated
member Of the house from the state
of Washington, is becoming worried
about the slow progress of the tariff
bill In the senate. He never fails to
impress his views on senator's, in the
hope that they will have mercy and
let him go home. Coming over on the
street car the other day, he thus &C.
costed one senator:

held Manila under his guns, no one could foresee that he had scored deeply on the pages of history. Unconsciously he had done what for 125 years all the genius of statesmanship had labored to prevent. A bluff naval officer, with no political gacity, in the hands of fate was a greater instrument of destiny than the genius of statesmanship. Statesmanship calcu- lated, and hoped. that after having done his work well and thoroughly Dewey would heave anchor and leave the Phil lppines to their fates; for Dewey's in- structions were to destroy the fleet of Spain, which was as ridiculous terror to overstrung nerves as jack O lantern at midnight in a churchyard is to yokel. But Dewey was a sailor, and no politi- elan. Where he had destroyed he re- mained. He waited for the instructions of his superior officers, and then 1t was too late. Fate had spoken before off cia1dom acted. and for good or evil the United tSates were in the Philippines.
 Had Dewey sailed away much political history since then would have been un- written. In the first place the United States would not have been an Asiatic power; it's interest in the affairs of the far east would have been academic rather than real. Had Dewey left after the battle it is doubtful if the United States would have sent a contingent to take part in the suppression of the Boxer uprising and the relief of the be- sieged legations. Had Dewey returned to. Hongkong 1t is almost certain that MT. Root and Baron Takahira would not have appended their signatures to a doc ument that marks an epoch in the politi- cal history of the United States. and must have such far-reaching world conse- quences that it's importance cannot be overestimated.

Women as Farmers.
EVerXhndY's MaQazina

From Everybody's Magazine.
 In 1870 there were 373,332 women agri- cultural laborers in this country. In 1900 there were 66S,2O9. Women still do some hard work. But the gain in the number of women agricultural laborers, after all, was only IT per cent.
 Compare it with the gain in the num- Der of women Farmers, Planters and Overseers. In 1870 there were 226s1 Tn 1900 there were 307,706 It was a gain of 1256 sber cent Tn other words, while the women laborers, the subordnates, failed to double their numbers during the period from 1870 to 1900 the women Farmers. planters and overseers' the persons in authority doubled their num- bers more than six times over.
