"Uncle" Jim Still on Payroll.

Old Uncle" Jim Jones, a former
slave OF Jefferson Davis, has long
held q position as "laborer" in the
chamber Of the Senate Of the United
States. AS he Is now so years old
and not worth much for practical
purposes, the Republicans in charge
OF this part Of public business want
ed to turn the old man adrift, but

became wrought up not only to the
point OF eloquence but to the cli-
max Of tears and. as a result. it was
finally voted to leave the aged ne
gro on the payroll.
Senator Lodge said the negro could
not earn his wage and IT was ques-
tionable whether the Senate could
enter upon a system OF civil PEN
sions. Senator Hepburn. Of Idaho,
ridiculed the sentiment" Of John
Sharp Williams spoke very Often
sively OF the Infamous" Confeder-
ate cause. and intimated that the ne
sro's loyalty to Jefferson Davis was
just cause for his dismissal rather
than any sort of argument In his
favor. But the Mississippi Sena-
tors eloquence caught the crowd"
as the vote OF 81 to g showed.
No doubt old Uncle" Jim is con-
vinced that Mississippi is more
afithful friend to him than Massa-
chusetts or Idaho or any other Re-
publican State could possibly be.

Magistrate Rules That Is Long
Enough For Visit.

New York. July 1S.-Magistrate
Mcclure, in the Flatbush Court to-
day. fixed 10 days as the limit for
visits for mothers-in-law.
The case in point was that in which
young Mrs. May Coyle, Of 81 Carlton
avenue, Flatbush, had summoned her
mother-in-law, also Mrs. May Coyle.
a resident Of Boston, to court on a
charge Of disturbing her domestic
peace and happiness.
Harry Coyle, son of Mrs. May
Coyle, Of Boston, sat in the rear of
the courtroom and never opened his
mouth. His pretty young wife did all
the talking and painted her mother
in-Iaw as a killjoy and Czarina.
''She came down from Boston 10
days ago." said the younger Mrs.
Coyle. ''and took charge of every
thing. Every time I opened my
mouth she squelched me. / didn't
know how to cook; l didn't know
how to wash; l didn't know how
to do this, that or the other thing.
She broke all our rules and made
new ones, she told us how they did
things in Boston and that that was
the only right way. Finally, she
turned my husband against me and
| had to take myself and my baby
home to mother. l telephoned her
to go home, but she refused"
Ten days is long enough for any
mother-in-law to hold possession" "
replied the Court. Ten days should
be the limit for all mothersin-law.' -
