CLARK BELIEVES IN HOBBY

When Champ Clark retires from congress-he
has no intention of doing right away, for he
considers his chances for the speakership better
than ever-he intends to turn author. The Mis-
souran who leads the Democrats in the house
will write book entitled 1.-THE Curiosities Of
American History and What One Vote Can Do"
History is Champ Clarks hobby. He hobbies
principally toward the history of the United
States and it is the strange things he has dis
covered in the history of this country that will
furnish the great part of his book. He spoke of
some of these things before the National Press
club in Washington several nights ago. Always
interesting talker, Mr.. Clark soon had his au-
dience in close attention.

"You made a mistake Of twelve

instead of 140."

she never would have forgiven me II

On a SaiIino Vessel,

Instead Of the usual routine work on
a steamer-paint washing and so forth
the work on sailing ship varies
widely. 1t may be making or shorten
ing sail, bending or unbending fine or
heavy weather canvas, squaring In or
bracing up the yards, lacking or wear
ing ship. and, no matter what the Ia
Dor, one always had the satisfaction Of
seeing the result. The speed and sail
ing qualities Of a vessel were things
that could be discussed with interest
as we'll as the length Of passage. In
bad weather, when excitement ran
high and cursing was considered quite
IN order, struggling up aloft with wet
or frozen canyas-one hand for the
ship and the ether for yourself-on
dark. dirty night put man on his met
tie, and should the fOresail be handled
or the main topsail settled and the cry
Of splice the main brace!" be heard
well, one felt OF peace with the world.
In the tropics catching sharks, har-
pooning dolphins and porpoises, sing

experienced them Being becalmed In

night brought home to one the beau-
ties and wonders of nature and the ex-
istence Of God with whom one felt

Law and the Queen.

The quaintness Of many provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status Of the queen of England.
So far as her majesty's private busi-
ness is concerned, she Is not regarded
by the laws and customs Of England
as q married woman at all. She Is the
only woman In Great Britain who does
not come within the scope Of the mar
ried woman's property act. The Idea
In all this is that affairs OF state con-
sumo all the time of the king, and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts In
her husbands name he would rot be
responsible for them. as any other
husband in the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt but
the queen can be. Should the king de-
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again, In case she
wished to, without the license Of the
kings successor.-New York Tribune.

crew laughing, inspired them with new
spirits, and by a great exertion they
