Among the measures which the New Hamps hire
man has advocated in congress for the lettering
of things on earth are measures intended to Sc
cure proper care for the insane. to prevent the
docking OF horses tails. to prevent cruelty to all
animals. to provide for delinquent and dependent
children. to train women nurses for the navy
and to condemn unsanitary buildings. Nj Gal.
linger is a strong man with q soft heart.
1t was said more than once that Senator
Mathew Stanley Quay OF Pennsylvania had a few
drops of the Indians in his veins. II SO, his
blood told in one instance at any rate, for when
Mr.. Quay was i'll almost unto death he reused
himself from his body WEAKNESS and made a
speech In behalf of the Delaware Indians which
with its eloquence held the senate and the gal
leries chained for a too brief quarter of an hour.
No one knew that keystone Quay" could be so
eloquent In less than two months after the
delivery of the speech he was dead. but before
he died knowledge came TO him that his eloquence
had brought accomplishment, and that the Dele
ware Indians in whom he was interested had
received from congress a sum Of money which
had been due them for years. but which they
had made vain attempts to secure up to the time
that a sick mans plea succeeded in Fighting a
wrong.
There is some fun in the senate on occasion
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota once said
Damn" openly. 1t slipped out before he was
aware OF ii. and no sooner had it put in an an
pearance than the Minnesota senator put and
passed a resolution of censure of himself by
himself.
This little matter of a mild swear word from
the lips Of Mr.. Nelson received a good deal OF
comment at the time that the word pumped
out OF his mouth. but almost simultaneously with
Its utterance there was a colloquy between Sena.
tors Daniel of Virginia and Gallinger OF New
Hampshire. which was a trihe more shocking.
senatorially speaking. than several damns.
Senator Gallinger. the moral mainstay of the
senate. was trying to get his colleagues to agree
TO change the name of addison street in Wash
ington TO Church street A part of Madison street
was known as Samson street. Senator Daniel
did not like the idea Of dropping the Virginia
presidents name even for the pious name OF
Church" so he objected. He asked his New
Hampshire brother about the matter and learned
Washington. and finding from this that Virginia
pride might be appeased in the nomenclature
matter. Daniel asked why the whole stree,
couldn't be called Samson.
i don't know that | ought to tell the reason
publicly" said G~allinger. but Samson. for whom
the street was named, was a fine man and a
part OF Samson street now has on It many low
resorts"
Il take IT." said Senator Daniel quickly. -tha,
my colleague has this information at first hand"
The Virginia senator only meant the thing a,
a gentle lest. but Jacob Gallinser. who Is a very
rock in the steadfastness OF his morality vas
rather upset The senate changed the name of
the street SO quickly that the proceedings fairly
ostran the hands Of the stenosraphers. the Incl

Street Sayings Are Short Lived.

Street Sayings Are Short Lived.
If some London slang has a short
life. the street sayings current for a
time pass away ever more quickly.
Most of these, such as Has your
mother sold her mangle?" who shot
the dog?" and How are you off for
soap?" survive only in the pages of
contemporary novelists.
Some, however, have a long life.
Does your mother know you're out ?"
has been traced back to 1870 and may
possibly have been current before
then. Others are revived, with slight
alterations. Ten years ago rude little
boys would shout, Where did you
get that hat?" when their grand
fathers would exclaim, What the
same old hat!" And the expression
of dissent emphasized nowadays by
mot in these trousers," used to be
conveyed thirty years ago by the tag,
mot in these boots!"-London Chron.

READY
FOR CONTEST
Will Travel to Highlands
Sunday Meet AIerts.

The Saints will travel to the High
lands Sunday and attempt to defeat
the Alerts of that place. The Alerts
have been playing the real article and
expect to continue to do it.. 1t was
not very long ago that they trimmed
the Franklins by an awful score. The
Franklins are still trying to forget
the game but they are having a hard
time. The Alerts had a score that
was away up in the teens while the
Franklins only could roll over a few
scores.
The Saints hope to do better and
they will if indications are worth
anything. They admit that the down
state bunch have q strong formation
but they think they are just as good.
They will attempt to show what good
they are next Sunday when they get
together. The game will take place
at the Highlands and a number of
fans from this city will go down with
the nine. The locals are trying hard
to land Ellie as a permanent member
of their firing line and 1t looks now
as If they were succeeding. With
Louie on the slab great things can
be accomplished.
Ellie seems to nave come back IN
his old time form and he will send
many Highlanders to the bench with
his fancy and effective twirls, If he
pitches. The Saints are placing
great confidence in him and hope to
make him their best. 1t is not known
whether he will pitch in Sundays
game or not. The rest of the lineup
will be about the same as when they
played the Franklins. The Alert
lads will also come up in the same
order as when they faced the Frank
Inns. Judging from final scores the
Alerts have the advantage but the
local lads don't take into considera-
ton the final results of any game
but their OWN.
