Mixed as to Names.

A young woman, who has treach.
erous memory for names, had droll
experience not long ago.
She had encountered in railway
station a face that seemed familiar
to her She remembered that she had
met the young man at the house OF
friend some weeks before, but for
the life Of her she could not at all
recollect his name. Finally. however,
when the young man stopped to shake
hands, she asked:
Surely this is Mr. Tombstone,
whom met at Mrs. Walkers
The stranger smiled. You're right
as to our place Of meeting" said he,
but somewhat twisted as to the name
II am Mr.. Stonegrave,"

RAINY DAY IN THE NURSERY
Various Ways in Which the Children
Can Be Amused and Kept From
Peevishness in Bad Weather.

A rainy day is always something OF
a trial to the children in the nursery.
The little ones miss their usual walk.
and the hours drag heavily. The chill
dren are listless and peeyish, and the
day very likely ends with fit OF tenn
per or tears.
Now, here Is way TO avoid these
consequences: Dress the children In
their hats and coats and turn them
loose to romp in large room where
the windows are thrown open, but Sc
them plenty of fresh air and exercise.
Set aside few toys, not necessarily
expensive ones, and keep them strictly
for rainy days or when the children
are prevented by illness from going
out
The rainy day doll or box of bricks
or automobile will be welcomed as
novelty and will keep the boys and
girls amused for hours when they
would soon tire OF their usual toys
Another fine plan is 10 let the chill
dren help about the house A little
girl will be delighted with permission
to help make the beds or dust things
she cannot break
Let rainy days be always times Of
indoor activity You cannot expect a
child with oyerhowing energy to spend
hours in quiet occupations
why cant you sit down and keep
still with book?" mother asks
The child doesn't know Why It
can't, though the explanation Is very
simple one
great deal Of exercise is needful
for the proper development of growing
limbs, and If this exercise cannot be
secured by outdoor play 1T must be
gained in some other way.

Neither Judge smyth nor keokuk At.
torneys Are of the Opinion That
They Can be Pushed Ahead
Of Other Cases.
LIVELY TILT IN COURT
Attorney Fee Came From Des Moines
With Opinion That Motions Would
Be Heard Today Set
For Saturday.

nat Judge SHElH, WHO is pIeSlu-
ing over the November term of the
district court and Keokuk attorneys
are of the same opinion that liquor
cases cannot be brought into court
and given precedent over old matters
on the docket was demonstrated this
afternoon in spirited tilt with At
torney Edgar L. Fee, representing the
Anti-Saloon League Of Iowa.
Attorney Fee came to Keokuk to-
day laboring under the impression
that the motions filed in the liquor
cases Saturday by Keokuk attorneys
would be argued this afternoon Inc
judge, however, had only ordered that
the attorneys file their pleadings on
Saturday OF answer on Monday, what
ever the defense choose to do.
Attorney Fee asked that the mo-
tions be argued this afternoon. then
he wanted the court to hear them
next Monday. Finally Judge Smyth
set special time for hearing them,
which will be next Saturday afternoon
at o'clock.
In asking that the motions be
taken up this afternoon Attorney Fee
stated that the only point in the
motion to quash was simple one Of
notification To this Attorney Roberts
replied that the question was not one
| of notification. but of allegation ano
! the .jurisdition of court.
81 suppose it would not be wise te
take time in hearing these motions a.
the present time, but rather to fix
future date for It," said Judge Smyth
1T was my understanding that the
motions were to be argued today re
turned Attorney Fee.
81 am sure" added Judge Smyth,
that the clerk would have made
record to that effect.
4 at will take some time for the al
guments on these motions. The city
morals cannot be decided in day,
said Attorney Hughes
81 am in favor of the business tax
ing regular routine" said Attorney I
F. Miller, but there are other civi
matters ahead of it,"
THE court will be ready to TAX
them up next Monday said Judg
Smyth.
.Will the court make a written OF
der to that effect asked Attorne
Fee.
Judge Hughes then spoke of tn
burden of work, and did not thin
that new business should interior
with the old cases.
Attorney Fee stated that Judg
Withrow heard the motion in thre
minutes. Judge Hughes declare
Judge Smyth would consume fou
minutes; seriously Attorney Mile
: considered that it would take ha
, cav.
! "Th assign the motions for me-
Monday afternoon" said Smyth
4 but if this cannot be done, why
course your trip will be in vain. y
S might have a night session"
!, Judge Smyth then asked how Sa
urday afternoon would be, Attorne
Fee wanting definite date set. Tn
e proved agreeable and the clerk ws
d ordered to note the assignment.

Sir Charles Matthews. the American
born director of public prosecutions IN
England, has insisted upon insttutlng
criminal proceedings against Major
James Henry Holford, ID. 5. o.. for
merly of the Seventh Hussars, despite
the fact that the majors father-ln-laW,
Lord Stalbridge. brother of the late
Duke of Westminster, has by the pay
ment OF a large sum of money re,
funded to the London jewelers. and
pawnbrokers the various amounts OF
which they had been defrauded. Sir
Charles. with whom rests the duty
OF determining whether public inter-
ests are best served by insttutins
criminal proceedings or by withhold
ing them, has taken the ground that
the swindles perpetrated by Major Elol-
ford are of such an ugly character and
have become so widely known that It
would be injudicious in the extreme to
refrain from bringing him to Justice,
no matter how anxious his victims nlay
have been rendered, through monetary
payments, to desist from prosecution.

STILL HAnp1NG ON TOM RYAN,

The newspapers are talking rather
freely about Thomas Il. Ryan and the
United States Senatorship from Vir-
ginia in case of the death OF senator
Daniel, The story was started by the
New York American. That ought to
have been enough to queer 1t; but
here comes the Savannah Press bother
ing about a matter in which it can
have no possible interest and saying
that the announcement of his candi-
and should be resented by Virginia
Democrats" How are they going to
resent 1t and against whom will their
resentment lie? Mr.. Ryan Is not pc
sponsible for the idle story that has
been told about him, he had nothing TO
do with 1t; SO far as we know he has
never opened his mouth on the subject
and he is no more a candidate for SEN
auor from Virginia than the editor of
the Savannah Press is a candidate for
yyernor OF Georgia.
Mr.. Ryan was born In Virginia. He
owns a good deal of properly In this
state, on which he pays taxes. and he
is Democrat. We do not believe that
he has any political aspirations; but
we should say, on general principles,
/, that he would make as good a sens-
| tor as either of the distinguished
members Of the upper house from the
State OF Georgia, Besides, he has prob
ably given as much money in aid of the
Democratic party as any Of those who
are barking at his heels He has a
turn for great affairs and has managed
to play his hand with the sharpest
LOT the gaps In Wall street with the

result that he has good deal more
money than the most of them? He
has done ut least one thing In recent
wears which some thousands of per-
sons in this country should remember
with gratitudc-hc saved the Equita-
bile Insurance Company, when 1t was
in a very bay way for the policy
holders, by setting Mr.. Cleveland to
watch its management for the benefit
of the assured. Then he has given a
great deal for worthy charitable OBJ
jects. and If one could get under the
surface he would probably find that
Mr. Ryan Is just a little winter under
the skin than the large majority of his
defamers. This does not mean that we
would support him for United States
senator, II there were vacancy
which we hope and pray there may
not be for many years, but that 1t is
about time for the Democratic news
papers of the semi-rospectab class
to which the Savannah paper belongs
to stop making fools of themselves, II
they can
