He takes much pleasure in giving terrapin parties during the session. Some of these are held in his office room at the capitol, where he prepares the tempting dish. Indeed the cooking of the diamond back is an art with the New Jersey congressman. He has been asked to tell his method of pre- pairing this dainty dish. but to all over lures he declines, saying that he prom ised his tutor to never divulge the secret. It is said that during his campaigns for Congress he passes the terrapin around among the democrats in his district with the result that he captures enough demo- cratic votes to make sure of his return to the House. By his friends he Is often called sTerrapin Harry"

 What committee is that?" I innocently asked.
 The committee of the whole he laughingly replied
 q regarded it as a joke, but you can take 1t from me that the speaker spoke truthfully. It is in the committee of the whole that a member has every oppor- tunity to bring out anything worth while that Is in him, and if he is studious he can make his influence felt on the inn portant legislation enacted by the House. Every member in the committee of the whole stands on the same footing, and If he fails to take part in the discussion of the bills under consideration he has no one to blame but himself. The most inn portant laws on the statute books have been considered in committee of the whole, and amendments that have far reaching effect are prepared and offered in that committee"

Colonel Roosevelt Moves

CROWD CHEERS AT DEPOT.
Former Presidents Last Day In French,
Capital EnIiVened by Sham Battle
at Vincennes, Upon Which He
Gazes With Great Delight.

Paris, April 2S.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt left Paris this morning for
Brussels.
An immense throng gathered to
cheer the former president Of the Unit
ed States as he made his departure.
Numerous illustrious Frenchmen were
at the station to bid the colonel fare
well. Colonel Roosevelt expressed him
self delighted with Paris ard especial
ly with his yesterdays experiences,
when French soldiers fought, cannons
were wheeled into action and belched
forth their flame and regiment of
dashing cuirassiers charged against
smoking batteries, all in honor of Colo
mel Roosevelt when he witnessed a
wonderful sham battle at Vincennes.
1t was IA great day for Roosevelt, for
it saw him in the saddle again and
scenting battle, even it was a make
believe affair. In the way of thrills
however. the affair almost equaled the
real thing. and as the battle ended
with the charge of the cuirassiers the
colOneIs enthusiasm got the better of
him. and he rose in his saddle and
cheered.
The maneuvers simulated an attack
ing army consisting of a regiment Of
chasseurs-a-pied. regiment of dra-
goOns. two battalions of infantry and
a battery of artillery in pursuit of a
retreating army whose retirement was
being protected by three field batter
les. battalion of zouaves and bat
talon of Dragons.
The attackers advanced in open for
nation under protection of the guns,
making frequent rushes, the machine
guns attached, to each unit firing at
the end of every rush. AS the rear
guard of the retreating army fled be-
fore the charge of the dragons the
spectacle was a thrilling one.

lated General Dalstein upon the dash

Democratic Senators De-
mand Understanding.
ARE TIRED OF "FulRTATION."
Congress Enlivened by Most Interest
ing Political Episode of Present
Session-Jeffersonia Ask La
Toilette Band to Join Hands.

Washington, April 2S.-Democrats in
the senate turned upon the insurgents
yesterday and left them stranded and
very much embarrassed. 1t was the
most interesting political episode that
has occurred in the senate this session
and probably will have a SOLDERING eff
feet upon insurgency. Senator Rayner
of Maryland and Senator Bailey of
Texas both In effect served notice on
the insurgents that they were tired of
the Irritation that the radicals have
been carrying on with the Democracy
and called for a declaration as to
whether they really had any honorable
intentions of entering into the bonds
of political wedlock with the minority
party. Both invited them to cease
their coquettish ways and come over
and join the Democrats.
IL am becoming weary" said Senator
Rayner, 'of being fondled and ca
ressed only to be rejected and deserted
when the supreme moment arrives"
No man can claim the protection of
a flag and at the same time fire upon
it," was one of the stinging state
ments that the Texas senator directed
at the insurgents
This attack upon the insurgents from
an entirely unexpected quarter took
the tuck completely out of the insur-
gent band for a few minutes. and all
of them, from La Toilette down, were
hopping mad. They held hurried
conference and finally Senator Dolli-
yer of Iowa rejected the offer of the
Democrats to take them into their
fold, retorting with considerable dis
play of feeling that the Democratic
party wasn't worthy Of such recruits
The conservatives i'm the senate In
the meantime were happier than they
have been on any other day this ses-
sion. Senator Aldrich was chuckIing
so hard that he had to hold his sides;
Senator Elkins wore Il grin that
stretched from ear to ear; Senator
Root also was tickled, and even Uncle
Shelby Cullom treated himself to a
laugh.
The charge made by Democrats
themselves that the insurgents are
merely an annex of the minority party
drew blood, for it is the very cry that
is being raised against the insurgents
in their home districts The radicals
were very peevish over the incident
and were inclined TO tax the Demo-
Gratis with pulling Republican chest
nuts out of the fire.
The Bailey speech was one of his
characteristic partisan utterances for
which he has become more or less
noted in the senate and which in the
(. las generally had the effect of re-
wing faltering party lines in that

New York, April 2S.-"Our population
is increasing faster than our food pro-
duction," declared Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson in discussing the cost
of living before a conference on "The
Condition of Agricultural Resources"
at the Produce Exchange. He declared
that serious trouble lay in the neglect
ern farms.
The cost of living" he said. calls
for careful inquiry into the causes that
have operated to bring about conditions
that are new to us as people. We
have had great abundance of food at
prices that were lower than most other
countries enjoyed, particularly those
countries with which we compete in
commerce and manufacture.
1T costs more to get anything in our
country than in most others. Until re-
cent years land was abundant and to
be had for the asking. Railways push
ed ahead of the homesteader; the reap
er came and bread and meat were
cheap.
"A change has come. Production
does not increase as fast as population.
Prices go up; it costs more to pay car
riers. dealers, manufacturers, all class
es. The farmer gets big prices now,
but it costs him twice as much TO grow
things as il did ten years ago.
The fact that population increases
faster than food sets us thinking. We
cannot afford to buy food from foreign
countries. The balances of trade foI
goods bought and sold since the civil
war. independent of farm products
have been heavily against us during
that time and have been paid by ex'
ports from the farm
