The pending question for hours was
resolution by Representative Norris
of Nebraska, the ruling reading as fol-
lows:
The Norris Resolution.
"Resolved, that the rules of the
house be amended as follows:
"The committee on rules shall con-
sist of Is members, nine of whom shall
be members of the majority party and
six of whom shall be members of the
minority party, to be selected as fol-
lows:
"The states of the union shall be
divided by committee of three selected
by the house for that purpose, into
nine groups, each group containing as
near as may be, an equal number of
members belonging to the majority
party. The states of the union shall
likewise be divided into six groups,
each group containing as near as may
be, an equal number of members be-
longing to the majority party. The
states OF the union shall likewise be
divided into six groups, each group
containing as near as may be, an equal
number of members belonging to the

said committee each of said groups

ground and through the leadership of
Mr.. Norris, of Nebraska, started the
movement against the Republican
rules.
The regulars declared the Norris
resolution was not in order, but they
had not the votes to enforce their
position. At the same time debate on
this point could not be limited. and
the fight resolved itself into an endur
ance contest, with the regulars be-
hind the breastworks and the insur-
gents and Democrats the besieging
forces.
Even Speaker Cannon took part in
the discussion. After listening for
several hours to filings as to his alleged
abuse of power, he appeared on the
floor and in direct answer to a speech
of Mr.. Cooper, of Wisconsin, defended
his action in having denoted in com.

The Saving of
Patience Goodwin
BY KATHLEEN J. M'CURDY
Copyright, 1910, by American Press
Association.

This is the legend Of Patience God.
I win as 1t has been handed down In
our family for many generations OF
her descendants. Patience In the days
when witchcraft had its grip on Mas
sachusetts was young girl. She won
the love of Francis Winthrop, who had
been attentive to Jane Hartshorne, and
Jane for spite accused Patience Of be-
ing a witch.
A great deal of interest was mani
tested in the trial. especially because
Patience was so we'll beloved. The ev-
idence brought against her was con-
vincing.
Young Winthrop when his sweet
heart had been tried and fodnd guilty
said that he could not be present when
she was burned. and he would nc
longer remain in q so called civilized
community where such superstitiOns
were rife and such cruelties were prac-
tced. The day before the execution
he left the settlement, saying that he
would go and live among the Indians.
kHis parting with Patience was distress:
ing IN the extreme ana -wouId nHEs
moved anything but the ironbound
consciences of the Puritans.
The next day stake was set up In
la wood near the settlement and
| fagots laid about it in preparation for
| the burning. which was set for the
| hour of sunset. 1t was October. and
| there was q mellow haze in the at
| mosphere. Shortly before the sun
went down the great men Of the
church and their families began to
collect at the place Of execution. Pres
emily in the distance appeared little
procession. led by the minister. who
read from his Bible as he walked such
passages as he thought might exercise
the evil spirit that had got into the
poor girl. Patience came next. attend
ed by her weeping parents and few
| of her intimate friends.
Now, 1t Is not claimed that what !
am about to narrate Is matter Of his
tory. Detailed accounts Of those who
perished by the witchcraft insanity
have been given In histories Of the
times. but | admit there is no his
torical account of this case. 1t has
merely been perpetuated In the family.
We must remember that those were a
superstitious people, looking always
for the marvellous. Yet there is moth
ing more remarkable in the witch
plague than in the story Of what hap,
pened at Patience Godwin's burning.
The condemned girl bade farewell to
her parents. her brothers and sisters
and her friends and with a resigned
step approached the stake. She was
bound. and the executioner was about
to apply the torch to the fagots when
the setting sun broke through cloud
