SHIELD is POPULAR

The hydraulic folding dust and wind
shield is one of the most useful and
practical devices for the comfort of mo-
torists which has just been put on the
market. This shield is neat in appear
ance and does not mar the appearance
of the car There are certain times
on sultry day when the tourist thinks
he does not need a shield. A sudden
wind, a shower or a cloud of dust
caused by a rapidly passing or ap-
preaching car changes the order of
things, and then the shield Is wanted,
and wanted Immediately. With the hy-
draulic wind shield it is not necessary
to stop the car or to get out of the ma
chine; no screw-drivers or monkey
wrenches are needed.

 Shipboard.

In a New York barroom where many of the bluejackets with the fleet for the Hudson-Fulton celebration took their nightcaps before returning to their ships. a petty officer said to a landlubber acquaintance:
 See how the boys hold their pipes ~
 Almost every one of them had the bowl of his pipe covered with the arched finger Of his hand
 Sec" said the petty officer. Now wait till one of them lights his pipe ;
 In a little while a sailor filled his pipe, got out his match and faced the open door of the barroom. There was not breath of breeze coming through the door, but the sailor covered the lighted match and the pipe bowl with one hand while he was getting light, and after he had thrown the dead match away he continued to smoke with his fingers arehed over the pipe bowl.
 Force of habit" said the petty of fiCer. He doesn't intend that the pi- ping breeze shall blow the lighted to aaeeo out of his pipe"

 Representative Poindexter who is one of the prominent Insurgents. said
 This initial reform which We have accomplished must be followed by oth- CTS. The whole trouble in which the house finds itself is caused by the joining of the power of the speaker with that of the leader of the majority.
 The English plan Of having an ex- pert parliameHtaTia instead of poH- tician as a presiding officer is the only correct one. As long as We select a party leader as speaker just so long will We have partisan and unfair ru- lings from the chair
 When the house adopted the Nor ris resolution the other day. it was a vote of no confidence in Speaker Gan non, and he should have resigned As he did not do so, we should depose him. With that accomplished. I think We should elect MT Tinds
 T believe a majority of the house would vote for it. Surely the Demo crats and the Insurgents who voted against Cannon. and believe large number of other Insurgents and near Insurgents will vote for it when the temper of the people of the country is accurately judged on this question. "

He promises now to wear the outfit in

is the most homesick man I ever saw;
just like a kid. To hear him talk, these

the amount of fire needed.
The hearth Of the fireplace should ex-

for hearths.
