r Chicago, May 25.-The trial of Lee
ONeil Browne, democratic leader of
the Illinois house of representatives,
on charge of bribing members to vote
for William E. Lorimer for United
States senator, is in progress. Attor-
neys for the accused politician are en-
deavoring to quash the indictment, but
States Attorney Wayman is holding
the grand jury in readiness to vote a
new indictment in case the defense
should succeed. Representative Charles

the alleged corruption, is still guarded
by detectives, and is expected to be
the leading witness for the state

Herbert Spencer was an enthusiastic
billiard player. He says that he found
1t a very desirable way Of passing the
time," because It prevented thinking
and excluded the temptation to read.

"that like billiards. and the attain

sufficient motive. have for a long
time deliberately set my face against
that asceticism which makes it an Of
Tense to do thing for the pleasure of
doing 1t. The opposite view is nothing

pains on himself and believed his god
would be angry If he made himself
