And Congress SmiingIy
Turns to the Holidays.
Lack Of Accord Shown Between
President and Dickinson.
Unusual Number Of Outsiders at
National Capital, Christmas.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 20.-(Spc-
ciaD.-After all Congress is having q
jolly time getting away. On every
hand it is ''IIo, fer the Holidays" And
Washington is making an cntry of the
fact that Senate and House are dis
persng. For it must be said that an
adjournment or a recess is almost as
mach Of governmental event as
Congressional coming together
Men seem to be in high old spirits
the Republicans because they have
done so much. the Democrats because
they have not Quarrcllcd, up TO date
and nave MADE SO much progress to-
ward doing something, especially to-
ward reforming the House rules and
revising the tariff. 1t may not all be
apropoS Of the holiday season but the
holiday season comes in right pat
ana most of the Congressional folk are
entirely content that there should now
be two weeks for rest, recreation and
contemplation.
There have been some little things
to keep the partisans in trouble. For
instance the war scare went wrong.
1t tickled the lawmakers and the
country. I. did not scare them, as.
probobly, it was intended to do. The
President and Secretary Dickinson
We're shown not to be in entire ac-
cord in the matter Of q standing army.
The President thinks it should not be
as large as Secretary Dickinson would
have it. And Secretary Dickinson. III
this case. voices the view of Gen.
Leonard Wood, chief OF staff.
4 funny thing happened about that
confidential report, which Secretary
Dickinson sent up to Congress in reply
to the resolution OF inquiry about our
preparedness for war. penned by Rep
resentative James McLachlan. Of
California. The confidential report.
asserting that our dcfences on the
Pacific coast We're entirely Inadequate,
was really written by Gen. Wood quite
a long time ago. 1t was written when
Secretary Dickinson was on a round
theWOrld tour and, as Gen. Wood
supposed. was sent over to the White
House for the Presidents perusal.
When Secretary Dickinson returned
he supposed the President had seen
the rcport-Written, of course. in re-
ply to the McLachlan resolution which
was introduced in the House last seS-
sion. 50 The confidential report was
sent on to Congress and the comedy
of errors was complete.
However, Washington is recovering
very speedily from the effects of THAI
episode. Tine House Of Representa-
tv"s. il is worth noting. does not re-
crive confidential reports. 1t EaS no
seer, files. There are no places for
confidential papers. Under the Con
stitution tie House can hold cNrcu-
tive sessions. Just as does tn" Sea-

Mach Interested Manifest
cd in Sick Moose Question.
WaTdens Are Of Opinion That
Animals Are Diseased.
Portrait Of S. /. Boardman Pre-,
sented to the State,
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR
Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Friday, Dec. 30, at 10 A. M,

The publication in the Journal of
Dec. Is OF the report by Game Warden
Ruth OF Linneus of the finding bv him
Of a sick COW moose and which proved
upon examination to be suffering from
disease Of the throat, seems to have
aroused quite an interest in the uues-
ton whether or not the moose in
Maine are suffering from some dis
ease, possibly tuberculosis. The uucs.
ton has not Yet been decided but the
matter will lie Investigated with the
assistance VI veterinary surgeons and
it is possible that d solution NAV Ec
forthcoming in the near future.
III connection With the above Chair
man Bracket of the Commission of
inland Fisheries and Game has re-
cei9cG during the past few DAYS n
number of letters from the game war
denS Of the State, who are without
doubt more familiar with the moose
and its habits than any other class of
woodsmen, and while Il few Of them
express the belief that the only dis
ease with which the animals are eff
fccted is that which comes from being
shot, the majority OF them are of the
opinion that I disease exists and that
it has caused the death Of q number
Of moose, and mostly cows.
Capt, William r. Pollard OF Fox
croft Que of the Oldest ana best
known game wirdcns in the State,
writes Chairman Bracket that he has
seen from one TO three sick moose
e,
that they We're mostly all young ami
mails. During the past spring and
sumner he saw two. Last April he
sew yearling bull moose at West
Seboeis that caTic out of the woods
there and for which the night station
agent built q yard. The animal was
as tame as u dos and would eat ana
drink, but Warden Pollard thought
there was something the matter with
the moose, and his belief was con
lrmed by the f;ty: that in about three
weeks the animal died. The warden
also cites tdc case of 4 tWo-ycar- old
COW moose which pastured all sum-
mer with some cattle at BrOWnyill,..
She vas tNn in flesh at first but be
gan to gam ana when SIZE left the
cattle in the fall she was in fin" con-
dition. In his letter Warden Pollard
tells Of finding at different times sew

We we're reading in mssa.ine short time

We were reading in magazine . short time
ago, about Iowa farmer and his wife. stinting
themselves for more than twenty years that they
might have money with which to build the finest
home in the neighborhood. The lumber was all
choice stock, well seasoned, and was picked from
over period of several years. The trimmings,
hardware, etc, used in the homo were all Of the
most costly varieties and in fact, the new house
was model Yet it was not . home. The farmer
and his wife had saved and shaved for SO many
years that when finally their fondest aspirations
were realized. they had become 80 accustomed to
the old saving habit that they could not bear
to use the best rooms in their new domicie. So
they cooked and ate in the dark basement. while
many rooms remained unused So many Of US are
in many respects like these peo-e. w" ~'7-h I'D
grind, day in and day out, from one years end to
the other, having fond visions of the time when we
will be able to take that long anticipated trip which
too often ends in the last journey over the hf in
a beautiful glass enclosed vehicle drawn by gen.
tie span Of blacks. While we have our trials and
tribulations here below, we should manage to get
good deal Of pleasure out of life as we go along,
but too often we wait for the time that never
comes In which to get that enjoyment.

rule, uness these announcements are accompanied
