Wise Pages of the Upper House

in his private diary before he sleeps
that night. and in later years will pub
lish 1t in his memoirs where eager mil
lions will read II. Also doubtless he
won't, for the chances are the dis
tinguished senator merely requested
the page to tell the bothersome con-
stituent who has been waiting out in
the marble room for the last hour, to
wait another hour by which time the
distinguished senator will have slipped
out another door and gone to lunch.
II the senate page should take a no
ton to disclose the secrets of his pris-
on house he could tale unfold that
would make the undertaking maya
zines look like periodicals subsidized
by Wall street. He could tell exactly
what that whispered message was that
passed between a leader on one side
at a critical moment during a roll call.
He could tell what went on out in the
cloakroom when deal was on to
trade one little bill for another little
bill, and incidentally to break party
pledge and sell out a party measure.
Even the familiar designations by
which pages know their masters would
make mighty good copy. One senator
known for his querulousness
invariably is referred to by the fra
ternity as Grandma" which is hard

at the Naval Academy

by the navy department, Miss Beers
was employed as a companion to the
wife of Lieut. Commander William T..
Tarrant, who is engineer officer of
the battleship Michigan Of the Allan
tic fleet She was invited to one of
the naval academy hops several weeks
ago by a midshipman whose name has
not been disclosed by the department.
She attended the dance and shortly
afterward left Annapolis for her home
in New Haven. At the time of her
departure she knew nothing of the in
cident in which she figured.
One of the officers on duty at An
n&oolis suggested to the midshipman,
on the supposition that Miss Beers
was a domestic, that she should not
have been invited by the midshipman
to the hop.
The midshipman. according to the
report received at the department, re-
piled that he disagreed personally
with the view of his superiors at the
academy. There was, however. moth
ing that he could do under the cir
cumstances. The inquiry developed
that Captain Bowyer was responsible
for the suggestion that Miss Beers
was not a desirable guest at academy
social events.

Mushrooms With Toast.

Rub the tops of the mushrooms with
a piece of flannel dipped in salt. Have
some butter heated in a saucepan, in
to which put the mushrooms with
salt, cayenne pepper, and mace; let
them stew gently until the butter has
almost disappeared, then add cream
and the grated rind of lemon. Set
back where they will only simmer un-
til quite done. Have toasted bread
cut in rounds, serve the mushrooms
on them and squeeze a little lemon
'uice on each.

BRAN USEFUL AS CLEANSER
Injurious Effect on the Most
Delicate Colors.

Bran is good for cleaning and stiff
fening. To make bran water tie a
cupful of bran in muslin, put this into
two pints of water in a clean sauce
pan and simmer until the water feels
glutinous. Leave the muslin loose, to
allow the bran to part with it's gluten.
A second and even third water may
be taken off the bran in the same way
Bran has no destructive effect on col
ors and seems to act mechanically as
an absorbent and to stiffen the article
slightly.
1t is most useful for colored en-
broidery or art work of any kind.
Bran water is sometimes employed
for the washing of cretonne with
colored background. The article is
washed in the bran water, rinsed,
wrung, rolled in a cloth and then
ironed on the wrong side. The Gre
tonne is better if slightly dried before
the ironing process takes place.

Always Staunch
And True

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries OF yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.
In no other way can the invest
ment of 2H cents per day
for that is all The Republican
costs any subscriber-bring such
rich results in that knowledge
which is both Power and Pleasure.
Information, instruction and en-
tertainment fill its columns and it
leaves good taste in the mouth
of the reader.

spent i'm this maner the squad was di-
vided into two SECTIONS and a game of
association football was INDUCED in
for a half hour.

HOuCk Earns Decision After
Fast Fight With
Ramsey.
HAPPY DAVIS LOSES
THIS TINE TO BELMONT
or Season

In one Of the most sensational mid
dleweight bouts ever fought in this
country Leo Houck, of Lancaster,
earned the decision over Harry
Ramsey, OF Philadelphia, in the wind
up at the American A. G. last night.
Houck was entitled to the decision be-
cause he landed the most effective
blows, did the bulk Of the leading in
four of the six rounds and administe
ed the greatest punishment to his ~
ponent.
Young Goldman is badly battered
today as the result of his cl0sl with
Tommy Houck, OF Philadelphia. IN
New York last night. Cheered by p
host of followers the East Side boy
made a good showing during the first
four rounds, but during the remaind-
er of the ten round go, Houck had a
decided advantage.
Although not a championship, the
clash between Owen Moran and PaclIy
Mcfarland, In New York tonight. is
the center Of much interest. Both men
have remarkable records. McFar-
land has never been beaten and his
opponents bid TO fame is quite as
good, having fought three draws with
Abe Attell.
Harry Lewis, the American fighter,
Is several rungs higher on the pugi-
listic ladder to fame today as the re-
suit of his clash with Jimmy Norman
in London last night. The go was
scheduled for fifteen rounds with a
purse Of S175O, but the Briton went
down for the count in the second ses-
sion.
A good bout between game boys was
the verdict of Little RhOdy's fans to-
day on the 15-round bout at Thornton,

sion for al belmont. Of Boston, over
Happy Davis, Of Philadelphia. Del
