Stood High as a Third Class Fiddler

Walter Evans, correspondent of the
Kansas City Star, knows probably
more about Kansas politics than any
man alive He thinks Kansas is one
of the greatest states in the Union.
Speaking of fiddling," he said, 81
knew four brothers once that went to
Kansas and took up four adjacent
quarter sections. Each built a mud
house on a corner of each section, so
that their homes were close together.
Then they proceeded to plant all four
sections with wheat. They didn't get
a grain that year, because of the
drouth
They were up against it hard when
winter came. So two of the brothers
went to Mexico and worked in the
mines. The other two stayed behind.
the miners sent them money to live
on. Next spring the two brothers re-
naming again sowed wheat They
had a bumper crop, and the miners
came home. Wheat was way up
then, and the brothers made a barrel
of money. Now they own land in
Kansas till you can't rest They don't
live in mud houses any more
Talk about fiddling; one of these
brothers, even after the bumper crop,
would ride to a dance at night, play
till morning and then ride home and
go to work. He got a dollar and a half
for his playing. He didn't stand very
high in the third class, either"

VNASHINGTON.- Nelson,
w ex-lightweight champion of the
world, and Uncle Joe" Cannon, who
is something of scrapper himself,
spared a round in the speakers pri-
vate Office recently. 1t wasn't such
a tame go at that, although largely
conversational
Nelson and his manager appeared
before the house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce to op-
pose the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Walter l. Smith of Iowa to pro-
hibit the exhibition of moving pic
lures of prize fights and the publica-
tion by newspapers of the details of
pugilistic encounters. After Nelson
had spoken his piece he left the COM
mittee room and was hurrying down
the corridor toward the exit W. en-
Representative Wagner of Pennsylva-
MIA came chasing after him.
"Hey, Nelson" he cried, "the speak
er wants to see you"
You're on" said Nelson, and he
made tracks for the speakers off ce.
He got warm greeting. Uncle Joe
shook his hands, felt his biceps and
slapped him on the back. The exam

tnn(ion was returned with interest.
Say" said Nelson to Mr.. Cannon,
as he ran his hands over the speak
er's arms and shoulders and sized up
his height, Il thought you were a big
man, but you're only little fellow"
Some of the group surrounding the
two informed the fighter that the
speaker took his daily exercise and
always kept himself fit.
Il knew he was there on the train
ing" replied Nelson; you can't fool
me about telling when a boy is in
shape"
Uncle Joe" grinned and put up his
hands in approved style. He made a
few swift passes at the "Battler."
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien showed
me how to do this" he said as Nelson
backed away laughingly.
IF you had begun boxing a few
years ago, Mr.. Cannon" said Nelson,
you would have made a better boxer
than speaker-and you certainly are
some speaker"
why" cried Uncle Joe, that's
what | call mighty pretty compli-
ment"
Before Nelson left the capitol Uncle
Joe gave him an autographed photo
graph and offered him a cigar.
Gee said Nelson, I'm much
obliged for your map, Mr.. Cannon;
but l never took a smoke or a drink
in my life"
I'm happy" replied Mr.. Cannon,
gravely, as he bit the end off a per-
fecto, that l cannot say the same"

FOREIGNERS FEAR
CHINESE UPRISING
Warships Make Ready to Pro-
tect Americans.

The feeling in several of the pro-
ttnces of China is still giving the
authorities much concern at Washing
ton, D. G. United States Minister Cal
houn, at Peking, in cablegram to the
state department, transmits a mes
sage from the United States consul at
Marking in which he says that the
city has been posted with placards In
citing the people to the destruction
of foreign life and property.
The minister says that the United
States steamship New Orleans Is
there, and is prepared, with the Ger
man, British and Japanese warships,
to land a considerable force, If nee
essary.
Placards have been posted in the
streets calling upon people to rise
and slaughter the foreigners and de-
stroy their property
Threats that a revolution will be
launched are causing Chinese to fee
with their treasures to the country
districts where they are burying their
wealth. The authorities at Marking
have removed the bolts from the RI
fles of the soldiers. The situation is
considered to depend entirely on the
attitude of the military, which up to
the present had not manifested symp-
toms Of disloyalty.
1t is believed that the cruiser New
Orleans and the German and Japanese
men of war lying off the town will be
adequate to protect all foreigners In
the event of an outbreak.

"The Democratic party" continued
Mr.. Folk, should insist upon the
stamping out of graft and corruption
from every department of the govern
ment; the eradication of all special
favors, including bOunties, subsidies
and a tariff for any purpose other
than revenue.
I'VE need the honest sincere en-
forcement of the laws we already have
and the regulation of the rates of pub
lie utility corporations upon a reason
able basis that justice may be done
the people and fair return for the
amount actually invested be afforded" ,"
Other principles named by the
speaker were the preservation of the
rights to the states of self-govern-
ment, the restriction of American ter
ritory to the western hemisphere as a
necessary corOllary of the Monroe doc
trine, the extension of American trade
by revising the restriction upon COM
merce, a just income tax, the election
of United States senators by direct
vote and unrelenting opposition to the
domination in public affairs of special
interests and the elimination of such
influences from politics.

Longworth Disapproves of limitations

Even LongwOrth smiled at the
naivette of this reply.
A member of congress stood on the
steps of the house Office building and
gazed at the capitol There was a
wistful look in his eyes.
YES" he said, 'the flag is flying.
I'll have to go over to the house,
s'pose."
He went slowly, like a boy on the
first day of school
Il wish we'd get through" he said.
Since the repeated victories in the
by-elections to fill congressional va
cancies Champ Clark has been the
recipient of a food of congratulatory
letters and kilograms. The night the
news of the election of James S. Ha-
vens was received Champ got the fol-
lowing: Congratulations Democratic
victory on the way. Next year Speak
er-president 1912 Hurrah for Champ
Clark"
Il am quoting my old friend Tom
iced in answering them" said Clark.
Back in '96 some one wrote Reed to
ask if he would run for the presidency
that year:
"'Well,' answered Reed, they might
go further and fare worse, and 1 think
they WILL"

I'd REPRESENTATIVE LONGWORTH
~ is chairman of the committee
which is investigating the Merchant
Marine league of Cleveland, and the
foreign shipping trust, when Olcott,
the regular chairman, is absent.
Longworth was in the chair recently
and James L. Uhl of New York was
the witness. Uhl was telling of an at
tempt he had made to trace a certain
letter to it's source. He had to visit
foreign steamship agents. He gave
limitations on the stand of how these
agents talked. Longworth's face be-
gan to flush, because Longworth
doesn't like exhibitions of this sort.
"Oh," Longworth murmured, 81
think we have had enough Of that"
The murmur was loud enough to
reach the witness.

ing limitations, and my father was
never able to break me of the habit"

THIS story has been floating around
i the house in Washington Nobody
offers to father it:
There was once a fiddler who was
very precise in his statements He
wasn't much of a fiddler, and he knew
it. 1t was not in his nature to claim
talent which ne did not possess. One
night there was a dance The commit
tee couldn't get the regular music So
they appealed to this fiddler. He said
he sure would play for them.
Are you a first-class .fiddler?" they
asked him.
NO." he admitted.
"Are you a second-class fiddler?'
well, no, I'm not even a second
class fiddler"
We'll, for gracious sakes, what are
you, then? Are you a fiddler at all?"
I'm not a first-class fiddler" said
the honest musician. I'm not a Sec
ond-class fiddler even. But l stand
darned high in the third class"
They took him on.

CORRUPTION SCANDAL.
Governor Deneen, of Illinois, orders
Probe to Bottom.

Governor Deneen, of Illinois, orders
Probe to Bottom.
Intense interest has been added to
the legislative corruption scandal in
Illinois, which involves the right OF
William Lorimer to his seat in the
United States senate, by a statement
signed by Governor Deneen, wherein
he declares for a thorough investiga-
tion.
Governor Deneen held a lengthy
conference with States Attorney
Burke, and a statement is published
over the signature of the governor
wherein it is stated that Mr.. Burke is
assured of all possible aid by the
state officials.
"The whole nefarious plot should be
exposed" said the governor. The
crime of bribery is one of the most
insidious and dangerous. 1t makes a
farce of parties and of elections"
One CLINT of humor is seen in the
proceedings. 1t has been learned
definitely that the treasurer of the
corporation jackpot" did not divide
the sp0ils evenly and that he kept for
himself more than the lions share.
The participants having no recourse,
feared to complain.
