sin senator's voice seemed to be actually in bet
ter condition during the closing hour aof his ad
aress than 1t was during the opening hour.
The Wisconsin senator naturally has rather
rasp1ng voice which like the voice OF GDre of Ok
lahoma, Is open to the Yankee characterization but
twang, accent, 1dtosyncracyy or whatever you may
choose to call it, passes with the first faw minutes
OF utterance. The roughness is smoothed away and
the words fall smooth and rounded and with Ger.
tain appealing force, even though the slbject have
nothing of appeal ~ -.~
When senator has the floor In his own right
ne can talk upon any subject under THE SUM- He
does not of necessity have to conne himself to the
subject in hand So it was that La toilette did
not SPEAK entirely OF the currency QUESTION, but
about other matters we'll. Occasionally in order
that he might spare his brain the trouble of thought
and SO keep 1t unwearied, he read from a book of
i fiction. ~ gs%.&@ 4sx #4EI
During many OF the hours La sFoliatte spoke
tnere were comparatively few senators in the cham
per- Hour after hour he spoke, and then taking
up MS book of fiction, he read with perfect re-
gard for the rules of enunciaion His auditors were
all sleepy and most of them were out of humor be-
cause there were only two who were in sympathv
with the speaker, and yet perforce every person
In the chamber gave heed to what La Toilette was
readlng For its subject matter perhaps they cared
not whit and yet by the force Of his reading elo.
quence he drove 1t home to their attention
When La Toilette had ceased speaking Senator
Gore OF Oklahoma who as had been planned, took
up the work and kept at it for some hours He was
relieved by Senator Stone of Missouri who already
was tired with his previous vocal attempt to keep
the senate from vote. The Missourian kept it up
1or seven hours and then Gore relieved him once
more That f11buster ended because Gore being
blind, failed to note and one told him. that Sen.
ator Stone whom he expected was to relieve him

usual types represented in many forms
Of garden utility. In suburban Phila-
delphia this thought is frequently
made distinctive in the building of
garden retreats, tearooms, pergolas
and various sorts Of garden archi-
lecture. But there seems to be a
special fad at present for displaying
unique features in the construction of
windmills.
The old world form of supplying wa
ter for household convenience still
forms a picturesque feature in many
suburban sections. But it was only re-
Gently that the thatched windmills
were introduced, one of the finest
types having been constructed on the
Herring estate in Arlington. Other
millionaire country seats of this Sec
ton and also those of Jenkintown and
Wyncote, have of late shown some
rather startling and decidedly pleasing
Ideas in windmill construction; but it
has remained for the Herring country
seat to set forth the unique in pic
turesque windmill construction.
Not only is the roof of the famous
Herring windmill thatched in regula-
tion type, but, fashioned after the
most quaint of old world types, the en-
tire mill, which is divided into sew
eral spacious rooms in it's three-story
structure, is neatly and compactly
thatched on all sides. r. .....
When Walter Herring conceived the
idea of introducing this unusual type
of windmill on his beautiful Arlington
estate he little thought Of the difficult
ties in his way. It is not surprising
that it stands alone in it's picturesque
beauty, for few would have the pa
tience to oversee it's tedious construc-
tion. Finally, at great expense, after
other plans had failed, a genuine old
Scotchman was imported especially
for this work. The expense of getting
him to the Arlington country seat, and
of boarding him, and humoring him
throughout all the tedious process of
the work, is now amply repaid in the
possession of the only particularly
beautiful thatching of this type to
be found in this country.

WALKING FOR HEALTH.

Who has not heard that certain exercises are
good for us because they "shake up" the liver? But
II IS not the best thing in the world to shake up
the liver violently unless one is trained athlete.
ana ordinary men and women are very far from
being In that category. Exercise increases large
~ the iVers production both of bile and of sugar.
Hence II 1t be more violent than that to which one
IS accustomed, more bile and sugar may be formed

subject may have what is called in popular parlance
bilious attack" Now this is where walking
comes In as happy medium in exercise. We can

For two years the boys and men Of

Just how marbles got started here
no one appears to remember. Posi-
bly, some gray-bearded citizen of the
town sat on a nail keg in front Of
Pryor's blacksmith shop on a spring
day two years ago and got to thinking,
while he watched the "kids" playing
marbles in the street, that he used to
be pretty fair hand at that game
himself in days before the war. Then
he went out and knocked "middler"

Another wrote:

This was the funny side of Mr. Mat

for him.

days. and went out to see what he
could do. Then every one got started.
But whatever the beginning may
have been, there can be no doubt that
the game has taken complete poses

shop is its headquarters. Rain or
shine. winter or summer, there is
game every day in the shop or in the
street just in front Of it. Last win
ter, when the thermometer stood near
zero, game was played in which all
of the contestants wore overcoats.

their knuckles to keep them warm
there was a sound like a shoal of por.

Knock the middle marble out the

Knock any marble out and you must
"clear the ring" knock all the others
too, to win the game.
If your marble stays In the square
after the first shot, you are "fat," or
dead for the rest of the game.
If some one else hits your taw you
are dead for the rest of the game.
Lynn Pryor, the blacksmith, stood
at taw, took careful aim, and from IL
feet away spotted the middle of the
square. One game for Pryor and
Binger! But nobody got excited. Mid

rences in Blue Springs. John Henry
Moore holds record of having
knocked out II of such middlers in IA
shots.
A minute later Uncle Dan Stanley
knocked a mfddler: Capt. George
Webb, the furniture dealer and under
taker, did the same thing, too, as soon
as he had the chance. So did Farmer
George Binger. They didn't do so all
the time, of course, but middlers came
with an astonishing regularity. And
when there was game In which all
four men had chance to shoot, other
plays just as remarkable for distance
and accuracy were taken by the gal
lery at the blacksmith shop door as
matter of course
You must understand the black
smith said, that II man comes with
horse to be shod, the game stops In

DAN WEBSTER VASE
Among Rare Exhibits in Boston's>
Public Library.
Valuable Relic Is Made of Pure
Coin Silver and Weighs
at Least Thirty
Pounds,

Boston.-The Daniel Webster vase,
now the property of the city of Bos-
ton, has been placed among the list
OF rare exhibits in the fine arts de-
partment of the public library. It is
made of pure coin silver, weighs at
least thirty pounds, and is worth in
trinsically tidy fortune.
The vase was presented to Mr.. Web.
ster on October IL, 1885, at the Odeon,
which was the name by which the
OLD Federal street theater was then
known, and crowded house of inter-
ested spectators were treated to a re-
sponsive hour-and-a-half speech, in
acknowledgment of the gift, by the
foremost political orator of his time.
The current newspapers records of
the event say that the money to de-
fray the cost of the vase was raised
by small subscriptions. No one sub.
scrlber was permitted to contribute a
sum in excess of one dollar. The re-
suit Of such a restriction was, a large
list of contributors and no attempt
seems to have been made to preserve
the names. Neither was there any
reference made to the aggregate of the
sum which was raised.

this massive piece of plate" said Edi-
tor Buckingham of the Courier of Oc-
tober 13. until we can obtain a more
exact account than we are now pre-
pared to give"
The Courier also said that 5000 per-
sons witnessed the ceremony of pre-
sentation, a large estimate for. the ca
pacity of Bostons first theater, and
listened to the speeches.. Francis c..
Gray spoke for the subscribers and re-
ferred in many complimentary phrases
to the services of Senator Webster in
his debate with Robert Y. Hayne OF
South Carolina in 1882.
Mr.. Webster, in closing his address,
said: 'Now want you to go on,
