at the tendency to distort for political
and personal ends. He said the great
function of the press ought to be to
disseminate correct notions.
IF all the people thought sanely
and had correct information" he went

this country. We would put all the
rascais where they belong-where
they could make no trouble-quickly
and without any mi to or disturb

Clara already snapped the trap of the
law upon Kerr? And if she hadn't
yet, what could be done to hold her
off? Flora turned again to the tele-
phone. Slowly she took down the re-
ceiver and gave into the bright mouth
piece of the instrument the number Of
her own house.
Presently the voice of Shima spoke
to her. Mrs. Britton had gone out to
dinner. ~
"Tell her, Shima," Flora command
ed, tell her to come down on the
earliest train" She hesitated, then
finished in a firm voice. "Tell her not
to do anything until she has seen
me-"
Shima would tell her-but Mrs.
Britton had been out all day. He did
not know when she would be back.
The words sounded ominous in
| Flora's ears. She turned away. Was
| everything to be finished just as she
| had light enough to move, but before

The sound of spinning wheels on

1t was the phaeton returning from the
last train. Through the open door she
saw the figure of Mrs. Herrick expec-
tant on the veranda. Then the car
rage came into the porte-cochere and
passed. With a rush she reached the
veranda, and stood there looking after
it. She wouldn't believe her eyes
she couldn't-that it had returned

Mrs. Herrick's voice was asking her,
"What shall we do? Shall we serve
dinner now, or wait a little longer?"
ooh, it's no use," Flora murmured,
she won't come tonight. He'll never
come" She dropped against the tall
porch pillar.
"My poor child" Mrs. Herrick tool
her passive hand. If she read in the
profound Encouragement of Flora's
face that something had trans
pired than a mere non-appearance, she
did not show 1t, but waited, alert and
quiet, while they gazed together out
over the darkening garden.

On Authority of Teacher.

A quick-witted boy, asking food at
a farmhouse too recently ravaged by
other hungry fishing t~ruants, was told
that he was big enough to wait until
he got home.
"Of course, if you have children
with you" hesitated the kindly
woman of the house, and was imme-
diately informed that there were six
children in the party.

Washington. After one OF the most
sensational political battles in the his
tory OF the house OF representatives,
Speaker Joseph g Cannon on Satur-
day lost the ancient prestige and
weapon Of that Office when the allied
Republican insurgents and Democrats
took from him not only the chairman
ship Of, but even membership in, the
allpoweFful committee on rules, the
chief asset IN his stock OF power.
BY vote OF 1871 to 1855, the Repuh'
iiean Insurgents voting solidly with
the Democrats, the house adopted the

Norris appealed, and the house voted

ris moved the previous question on
his resolution, shutting out debate.
The Norris resolution was voted on
and was sustained by the house.
A roII-call was then taken on the
question: Shall the decision OF the
speaker stand as the decision OF the
house?9 and the speaker was over
ruled. The Norris resolution was theh
voted on by the house, having been
taken out of the hands Of the speaker
and given direct to the representa-
tlyes for division.
Speaker Cannon's term expires nexl
March, but it is persistently rumoreo
that he will resign before that time
This gives rise to speculation as tc
who will be his successor. The Dem

claiming to have wrested victory from
defeat, endorsement from reputation.
Not a few of the insurgents who
voted for Mr.. Cannon's retention are
wondering today IL they made poll
teal blunder; whether their anti
Cannon constituents will not, indeed
hold the retention OF Cannon in the
speakership to have nullified the vote
to eliminate him from the rules COM
mittee.
The Republican regulars complac-
emily claim the insurgents who voted
for the speaker have returned to the
party fold. The Democrats taunt
these insurgents with having been re-
creant to the logic of their insur-
gency. Nobody seems entirely happy
about the outcome
Speaker Cannon's defiant speech

ltempuously denounced the insurgent
members of the house who stood by
him in the final test, as "cowardly
members of congress, without the
courage of their convictions" has cut
to the quick those men who respond

party and to the country and saved

OF Nebraska, requiring reorganlza-
ton OF the rules committee, increas- |
Ing It's membership from FIVE to ten,
and declaring the speaker ineligible
TO membership thereon.
BY the curiously identical vote of
i91 TO 155--but with decidedly diff |
ferent personnel of alignment-the
house defeated a resolution of Repre- |
sentative Burleson of Texas, declaring
the speakership vacant and ordering
the immediate election OF successor
to MIR. Cannon.
The Norris resolution was as fol-
lows: There shall be committee on
rules, elected by the house (hitherto
the committee OF Ave, like all other
house committees; has been appoint
ed by the speaker), consisting OF ten
members. six of whom shall be mem.
hers of the majority party. The
speaker shall not be n member of the
committee, and the committee shall
elect its own chairman from its own
members. Resolved, further, that
within ten days after the adoption of
this resolution. there shall be an cleo.
ton of this committee, and imme-
dlately upon It's election, the present
| committee on rules shall be dis
! solved"
II was upon the adoption of this
resolution that one OF the greatest
contests In the history of the house
was waged The regular Republicans
were opposed to the adoption of the
resolution, which means the practical
\ dethronInE OF the speaker, while the
"insurgent" Republicans Joined with
the Democrats and succeeded, after a
bitter and prolonged fight, in securing
votes enough to pass the resolution.
When the tumult had partially sub
sided after the vote on the Norris
resolution had been taken, Speaker
Cannon gained the attention of the
members and made an address In
which he declared: There are two
courses open for the speaker to pur'
sue, One is to resign and permit the
new combination OF Democrats and
insurgents to choose speaker In
harmony with It's acts and purposes
The other Is for that combination tc
declare vacancy in the office Of
speaker aud proceed to the election o.

The speaker declared that to volun
tarlly resign would be a confession o
weakness or mistake and an apology
for past actions, and as he was no

strued the rules as he found them
and as they had been construed b!
