The present congress hds broken all
records IN legisiatlng ana trying TO-.

ord win demonstrate the Stiffness of
the charge.
Up to june Z, there had been intro
duoed 3b,243 bills and more than a
thousand resolutions Of the various
kinds. in the house alone 9s6 'house,"
Joint" and concurrent resolu-
tions had been introduced. and no
fewer han 26,65t bills. Ana they
were still coming in.
Committees OF the house had report
ed one way or the other upon about
10000 Of these bills. II IL not pos
sible to say until the session ends how
many bills have become laws. Even
after a bin Is technically passed" It
may be recalled up to the IN it

But about 5000 bills had passed
the house, and about 5000 either the
house or senate. And the bills are
still coming IN. though the commit

while and would you kindly give
the boy the umbrella?
Suppose the boy came and you
gave him the umbrella, and then a
little later Miss B came rushing in
and asked for her umbrella which
she left at your house the night be-
fore-her umbrella, mind you, the
very one you had just sent to Miss
A but which Miss b could positively
prove to be hers. You'd be in some
thing of a pickle by that time,
wouldn't you?
We'll, suppose that to clear the
matter up you rushed around TO
Miss AS, hoping to recover the UNI
brella, brt found that both Miss A
and the umbrella had already gone.
Then you rushed around home again
and found Miss B pacing up and
down your room wondering what on
earth she should ever do because II
was beginning to rain cats and dogs
and she has dozens of places to go
that day and would certainly get
soaked to the skin and maybe catch
her death of cold because she had
no umbrella. because you had given
hers away to somebody who hadn't
the shadow of right to 1t. You'd
feel pretty desperate by that time.

We'll, suppose that to relieve the
situation still further you offered to
replace Miss BIS umbrella. The SUBJ
stitution wasn't your own umbrella,
but one that another friend had left
at your house short while before
most excellent umbrella, best of
silk and beautiful handle: much bet
ter, no doubt, than the one Miss B
had lost
Would that be fair? Would you
have moral right TO square yourself
with one person whose umbrella YOU
had given away by giving her the
umbrella that had been left at your
house by somebody else?"
Would 1t be fair?" exclaimed the
man. why, certainly An umbrella
is common property. The courts have
decided that If man leaves an
umbrella any place he has no right
to expect to see it again"
'Oh, am so glad" murmured the
girl.
But what is the end of all this
hypothetical inquisition?" asked the
man. What is it leading up tor"
"Oh, nothing" said the girl. Il cts

They did talk ABOUT somet hing else
for three hours. When the man
started home he said:

For Sore Feet.

The busy man or woman who is
continually moving all day is very apt
to be troubled with sore feet
The source of trouble may lie in the
make and fit OF the shoes which are
worn.
The first thing in the care of the
feet is, If possible, to get shoes which
are not only the right size, but the
right shape. This done as nearly as
the circumstances will permit, there
are certain precautions to be taken.
One of the best is for person afflicted
with what we call tender feet to get
a supply of antiseptic cotton. Pull
off sufficient quantity of the wad-
ding and put 1t over the place which
hurts before drawing on the stocking.
It IS, of course. necessary to turn the
stocking wrong side out in order to
put it on and not displace the cotton.
This serves as pad in absence of the
flesh pads which nature has forgotten
to supply.
Dipping the feet in warm water and
afterward rubbing them while they are
wet with white vaseline, is most graft
flying. as 1t makes them more supple
and softens the flesh Talcum powder
may be used afterward. A certain
number of thin felt corn plasters are
often beneficial, but as a rule the hole
in the center must be cut out larger
than they come.
A perfumery spray into which base
been poured witch hazel for spraying
the feet is most refreshing and anti
septic as we'll.
