postal savings bank Law. which is an
entirely new legislation. blazing a new
trail in Iawmaking in this country.
That law Is not on the statute books
By means Of hurried enactment.
After the house had prepared a
tentative bin, a Republican caucus
was called to consider It. and after
three long sessions a bill was agreed
upon which received the majority vote
in the house. and the senate also &C
cepted that bill without amendment
In my judgment this is the best r.
lustration Of party legislation we have
had in many years, and It fully justi-
fes the necessity for party action In
a great legislative body. II there had
not been party solidarity on this bill
there would have been no legislation
creating postal savings banks" The
speaker detailed other legislation
which had been enacted
The appropriations he said, have
been large. but not nearly as large as
demanded by the people who were agi-
tating over the development Of the
various departments Of the govern

Madlson's House.

Waahlngton.-0n the day congress
Adjourned Speaker Cannon issued a
statement covering the work Of the
slxly-nEHt session. which he says was
the best he has known in his IS years
experience. Incidentally uncle Joe"
said he expects to return next De
cemher and viii place his fate as
speaker In the hands Of his party.
Il do not think the work Of q con-
zress should be measured BY the vol
ume OF business. but BY the character
Of the legislation and the care taken
IN its consideration he said. Meas
ured BY that standard. the sixty-iirst
congress win take a high place in the
record OF legislation There have
been. however, more than 5000 Of the
$1,000 bills considered and reported
irom committees and about 800 public
laws enacted IN this session. as against
200 public laws for the entire sixtieth
congress- I can commend the entire
membership Of the house for industry
and intelligence in their legislative
work Of this session"
Continuing. the speaker said;
In my judgment. the two sessions
Of the sixty-hrst congress have &C
complished more and done better work
than any other congress Of which
have been q member. It has rarely
occurred that a congress enacting q
new tariff law has accomplished much
else save handling the appropriations
for the government This congress
has not only revised the tariff. with
out disturbing business. but It has en-
acted important legislation. amending |
the Interstate Commerce law, making 4
that Law more effective. giving the In

creating a court Of commerce, and 1
this without seriously affecting the

ployes- This seems to me to meet

A great deal Of interest centers just
now AROUND what is called the Dolly
Madison house." which Is one OF the
historic spots in Washington. This
house stands at the corner Of H street
and Madison place. near the BeIasco
theater. which Is built on the ground
where Secretary Seward lived during
the war, and where be came near re.
ceiving his mortal wound on the night
that Lincoln was assassinated.
It was IN this quaint old house that
Dolly Madison, the widow Of the fourth
president, lived and held court for a
number Of years as the social queen Of
the National Capital. It Is said that
her home was a fair rival for the
White House. for she was extremely
popular, always agreeable. and was
liked By the young as well as the
old.

son was enabled 70 take up her resi-

After her death the home was sold

Hair Monstrosities.

French theater managers in the
eighteenth century had worse evils
than picture hats to contend against
Marie Antoinette. who was short, even
according to French standards. set the
fashion Of high coiffures and ultra
fashionable women prided themselves
on measuring four feet from their
chins to the tops Of their heads. These
structures took about six hours to
erect, the hairdresser mounting lad
der in the process. Some coifureS
were almost as broad as they were
long. with wings sticking out about
eight inches on each side Of the head.
For the ''frigate' couture the hair was
rippled in huge pile to represent
the waves of an angry sea and sur
mounted by fully rugged ship. AS a
consequence of these monstrosit1es,
disturbances in theaters occurred al
most daily until an ordinance was is
sued against the admission of women
with high coiffures to the floor of the
house.

He Was Too Enthusiastic.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an "hon.
est horse trader. He would not lie
about horse. He would merely sup
press the truth. incidentally he always
beat the customer who dealt with him.
The way he could slur over the de-
fects and buzz about the virtues Of an
animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell a
neighbor a horse that had an eye
which was nearly sightless. The
neighbor knew Hank would not lie
outright to him, so be questioned the
horse trader as to the various points
Of the brute.
''How about his eyesight? Can he
see out of both eyes?"
Sure" said Hank. Hes got good
eyes," Here he leaned forward. his
eyes fairly scintillating with sup
pressed honesty. Zone eye is parucu-
larly goody'
Hanks enthusiasm for the truth had
carried him too far. The deal was off,
