Two Chambers a Great Pair

of the Republican national committee
that directed the party's presidential
campaign of 1876.
"Zachariah Chandler. chairman OF
the committee, was a man OF great
physical and mental force. From the
time he became prominent in national
politics as a senator from Michigan, in
1857, until his sudden death in Chi
cage, in 1879, he did things in politics
in sledgehammer fashion. | remem-
Der well the radical manner in which
he opposed the extension of slavery:
of his strenuous advocacy of a vigor-
GUS prosecution of the Civil al by
the Union; and all of you must surely
recall the yirulent attack he made on
Jefferson Davis Just a short time be-
fore his death. He was a man who
never tired. His physical strength was
equal to his mental vigAr. His dis
position was to overwhelm by some
thing like brute force.
That was. the head of the commit
tee. On the other hand, William Il.

shire, and, ! have been given to under

since | knew anything about him. He
Is one of the most adroit manipulators,
one Of the most skilful artisans upon
political wires, whom | have eve
known. He is slight of physique. His
mental power is acute, shrewd, subtle.
He is, in short, the direct antithesis of
what Iachariah Chandler was. and be-
cause he was. and because each man
understood the other and respected
the others peculiar powers and both
were in full accord, there was perfect
equipment, mental and physical. for
the direction of the Republican ma
tional committee in 1876.
THAT was made plain on thu night
of the election, 1t was after midnight,
when the election of Tilden was being
generally conceded, that the managing
editor of the New York Times told
William f. Chandler that If the three
doubtful states Of Florida, Louisiana
] and South Carolina had gone Repub-
lican tlan Hayes was elected by one
vote. Chandler instantly grasped the
proposition and its possibilities with

MAKING FLOORS OF SAWDUST
Artificial FIoorinos Are Manufactured
Extensively In Germany-Re-
sembIe Mosaic Pavementa

Artificial %floorings, made of sawdust
and other ingredients, are manufac-
tured extensively in Germany. 1t is
understood now that certain firms are
to introduce a similar process in this
country.
The flooring composition consists Of
a solution OF magnesium chloride to
which ~pulverized magnesia Is added
and which of itself forms a white, alb
solutely solid, artificial stone. If to
this cement sawdust be added in con-
siderable proportions the combination,
when it becomes hard, possesses many
OF the qualities Of both wood and
stone.
Some Of these foorings are mixed
on the spot and laid soft on the space
to be covered, while others are mold
ed into plates and delivered ready
made. According to consular and
trade reports, n Hamburg firm i'm
pregnates the wood meal with oil be-
fore mixing 1t with the magnesia
paste and thereby renders 1t nonab-
sorbent.
In Germany the cheaper grades Of
uoorlnS are cOlOreQ TO resemble ln-
oleum or mosaic pavements, and In
many instances have given entire sat
1sfaction during a considerable term
OF years. The emigrant halls of the
Hamburg-American line in Hamburg
are paved almost entirely with this
composition. Floors thus made are
more elastic than cement floors, are
much warmer, and preserve a smooth
er surface. Under the fire test this

! bureau cover, as she went over every
incident of the drive
Just because she had screamed when
those dogs had darted almost under
the cart How could she have helped
it? And yet it had made him furious
and he had flared out at her before
them all.
'Shrieked like Comanche Indian"
was one of the things he had said. Her
lips quivered as she remembered Mrs
Stevens's look Of surprise at Warren's
anger, then her kindly effort to put
her at ease by claiming that any ex-
hibition of nerves always made a man
angry.
And then they had stopped at the
roadhouse, and Warren had hardly
spoken to her. and had shown his dis
pleasure by ignoring her in the most
pointed way all through the evening"
And when they reached the hotel he
had helped her out and left her stand
ing there on the gravel path while he
called out:
Stevens, don't you want another
smoke before you go to bed?"
For moment she stood waiting,
thinking Of course he would go with
her up the steps; but he had deliber-
ately walked off with Mr. Stevens and
left her standing there. And she had
made her way UP to their room with
burning sense of Indignation
And now she realized that she had
not even taken off her hat She drew
out the hatpin she had so carefully
woven into the bureau scarf and
reached up to unfasten her veil.
The door opened and Warren en-
tered Helen did not turn, but their
eyes met in the mirror. His were
still hard and angry.
what on earth have you been do
ing? You haven't got your hat off
yet I thought you'd be in bed by this
time"
He took off his coat and drew up a
chair to the open window, put his
feet on the sill and lit a cigar. Helen
laid her hat on the shelf of the mar
row closet, folded up her veil and
started to put it in the top bureau
drawer. But it was cheap oak
dresser, the kind prevalent in sum-
mer hotels, and the varnish had stuck
and now the drawer refused to open.
She could put the veil somewhere
else, 1T was not necessary to open that
drawer just then. But she dreaded the
long suilen silence which she felt War
rem was falling into, so she asked
quietly:
Warren. can you open this drawer
for me? It is stuck some where"
without answering he lowered his
feet, put his cigar on the window sill,
and came over and jerked at the
drawer But it obstinately refused to
open. Again he tried, but still with
cut success. With the third effort one
of the cheap brass handles came off
in his hand.
With a muttered oath he fastened
back the handle and tried again.
Everything on the bureau swayed
perilously.
''Oh, wait-waiti" Helen caught a
powder box as 1t was sliding off
-'Don't-you'n knock everything over"
But unheeding. Warren gave another

LARGER HOMESTEAD
RULING IN EFFECT
Enables New Entrymen in
Grant County to Secure
900 Acres

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Aug. S.-The reg
lister and receiver OF the United States
land office have just received a copy
of a regulation affecting homesteads
on lands in the districts which have
been designated as falling within the
provisions OF the enlarged homestead
act
On certain lands in the Las Cruces
district, principally in the western
part OF the territory, there are lands
designated by the secretary of the in
terror on which homestead entry can
be made for $50 acres instead of but
160 acres as is the case elsewhere
Under a former ruling this law was
interpreted by the department as re-
ferring to new entries entirely, and
If settler had made an entry for
$50 acres prior to the designation of
the land as open to enlarged home
steads, then he was debarred from the
provisions of the act
The new regulations give the en-
tryman who has already made one en-
try of $50 acres a right TO enter an
additional $50 acres where the land
embraced in his former entry was en-
braced in the designated townships.
The lands open for entry under this
new rule are located in townsites % to
"a, south Of ranges 21 and % west
along the line of New Mexico and
Arizona and are in Grant county. No
other lands in the Las Cruces land
district have been designated as $40
acre homestead land.

ter came crashing over on a hand mir
| ror, breaking the mirror and splitting
most Of it's contents.
AS the bottle tottered, with a scream
| Helen darted forward to catch it.
That's right, scream some more!
| You're doing well for one night And
with final jerk which sent the
| brushes and other things sliding to the
| floor. the drawer came open.
Warren stalked back to the window
and resumed his chair and his cigar.
while Helen gathered up the wreckage.
She was fiercely indignant now. Not
because of the broken mirror, but be-
cause of his renewed anger that she
had screamed again
At this time she would make no eff
fort to appease him. If he cared to be
sullen and silent the rest OF the night,
she would not humiliate herself by
making any further overtures.
She wished now that they were at
home However hot and Sitting their
apartment wa@at least she had the
refuge of her own room. But here they
had only this one small hotel room.
She turned out the lights after slip
ping into bed, and only the faint re-
Election from the lights on the porch
below lit the room Warren was still
sitting before the window, his feet on
the ledge and his cigar glowing in the
semidarkness.
She knew he would not speak to her
again, that when he finished his cigar
he would get out of his clothes and
into bed, still in the same obstinate
silence.
And this would be the first time
since her return that they had gone
to sleep with any bitterness between
them. But 1T was not her place to
make the overtures now-she had not
been in the wrong. He had no right
to be displeased with her for some
thing she could not help.
The sound of scratching match. So
he was going to smoke still another
cigar. If she could only go to sleep
and forget it all But she knew how
impossible that would be.
And then from the porch below came
the plaintive notes Of mandolin. The
air was "Oh, Promise Me-" And then
with a few tentative chords came TN
the Cleaning"
Helen brushed away some tears. on
the lace frilled sleeve of her night
gown Oh, If they wouldn't play that
1t always melted her to tenderness.
She looked longingly over at War
rem. The glowing cigar lit up the
side Of his face and his white-shirted
arm. He was gazing straight ahead Of
him out Of the window. Perhaps he
was sorry-perhaps he wanted to
speak to herl But it was always so
hard for him TO make a concession.
Perhaps he was hoping now that she
would come over to him-perhaps that
was why he had lit another cigar
perhaps
The mandolin was now singing the
notes Of another haunting air. Helen
could stand 1T no longer. She threw
back the covers. slipped noiselessly
out of bed and across the room. For
an instant she stood motionless behind
his chair. then she put both arms
about his neck and crept into his lap.
BE careful-you'll burn YOURSELF"
as he held the cigar away.
'fOh, dear, I'm so sorry about it ALL"
she whispered. her face against his
arm.

Now run back to bed-you'u catch
