is his colleague, Senator Tspin, whose
maiden speech on the Powell hotel ex-
emltion bill VAS an eye opener for the
Senate. From his old time occupation
of auetioneer Senator Taplin gained a
raPidity in the handling of words that
makes his delivery a good deal like that
of gatling gun while his former voca-
ton of singing school master gave him
a knowledge of the eresceBdo but APP
parently not IL the diminuendo. The
senator's style Of speaking is certainly
calculated to shake up the dry bones Of
the Senate. Then too Senator Daniels
of Washington, is considerable of q
speaker, perhaps not as polished as some,
but still.with the ability to express his
ideas clearly aud logically. Senator
Cushman of Bennington is also a speak.
er of no mean ability, using the CONVEX.
sational style with good command OF
language.
The Senate this year, as we'll as the
House, is regarded as beyond the aver
age in the speaking line.-Free Press

Railway Landscape Gardening,

In recent wears many of the Amerl-
can RailN avs have given great amount
of attention to the identifying of the
grounds surrounding their stations,
freight sheds, etc. The Grand Trunk
Railway System has not been behind
in this good work as is observed by an
editorial in the October number of the
"Railway Master Mechanic published
in Chicago.
They say, "If anyone doubts that
landscape gardening has no place in
railway repair shop operation let him
visit the gold plated shop of the Grand
Trunk at Battle Creek, Mich. While
threading his way through the beds of
geraniums, peoples, pansies and orchids
which bedeck the grounds, the dOubter
il he is a pessimist, will perhaps offer
the opinion that probably gardening
and not locomotive repairing is the spe
cialty of the shops. Indeed, if the com
parsons are carried far enough, one ii
inclined to wonder if there may not bt
some connection between this deviation
to the aesthetic and results as evidenced
in quality and quantity of the output o.
repair shop work"
Island Pond, too, can boast of hand
some floral surroundings at the engin'
house aud offices.

His Apology.

A recent refusal by a member OF the
English parliament to withdraw zone
comma" of what he had said about
member of the government recalls the
fact that, Richard Brinsley Sheridan
once declined to punctuate an apology.
In the house of commons one day
sheridan gave an opponent the lie di'
rect. Called upon to apologize. the Of
fender replied:
"Mr. Speaker. | said the honorable
member was liar 1t is true and am
sorry for it."
The insulted party was not satisfied
and said so.

Of my statement according to his abil-
ity. and he can put punctuation marks
where 1t pleases him."

productions TO an unfeeling editor, who
had rebuffed him in these gentle
words:

to take out license every year and

Long and Short Story Writers

@o"9 anu o'oTt otoFy WRITERS.
Which are the great short stories of
the English languageT Not bad
basis for debate! This am sure of
that there are far fewer supremacy
good short stories than there are su
premely good long books. 1t takes
more exquisite skill to carve the
cameo than the statue. But the
strangest thing is that the two excel.
lences seem to be separate and even
antagonistlc. Skill in the one by no
means tnsures skill In the other. The
great masters of our literature, Field,
Ing, Scott Dickens, Thackeray and
Reade, have left no single short story
Of outstanding merit behind them,
with the possible exception of Wan,
dering Willie's tale In "Red Gauntlet"
On the other hand, men who have
been very great in the short story,
Stevenson. Poe and Bret Harte, have
written no great book. The champion
sprinter is seldom five miller as we'll
Poe is the master of all Poe is, tc
my mind, the supreme original short
story writer Of all time.-Conan DOYLE

Not how many, but how good, should
be the motto of lawmakers. Law-mak-
ing usually follows the lines of least re-
sistance, and lawmakers do not like to
fight against public sentiment. The
thing to work for is to educate the
people so that fewer good laws will be
needed and no bad ones tolerated.
