Now right here is the place where I
would urge upon any woman bent on
managing her husband to be cautious.
This idea of James being a mere child

considering that James is mere idiot.
And there are cases where this is really
not the case. You take the average child

dition.' The reading clerk must eat and
sleep we'll; must hardly know what sick
ness is. and must at all times be in con-
dition to undergo long physical strain.
Added to this there is the demand for
keen attention to the proceedings of the
House, and a general knowledge that
covers the whole field OF public business.
The reading clerk Is the virtual general
of the House when it is in session. He
does not simply read what the Speaker
or the House directs him to: he keeps the
House informed as to what 1t should take
up; has the matter at hand. and directs
both the House and the Speaker in the
procedure that is in order.
1t is from the reading clerks hands
that the completed bills go to the enrolling
cle.ks, and later to the Senate or the
President as completed laws. There is no
check upon the reading clerk: he must
not only perform his reading duties, but
must note unfailingly In the legislation
that is stricken out and every change
that may be made in the bill.

and Mr.. Award joined him two years
later. after two or three candidates had
been tried out in the session with Mr..
Lampson and had failed to meet the de-
mands of the office.
In their joint service these two men, the
one from the Ohio legislature and the
other from the Michigan legislature. have
established a remarkable record. Through

part in campaign work. Both men have
been candidates for Congress, but have
experienced the bitterness OF defeat. Both
of them have also turned their abilities
to the use of the republican party, have
stumped the country in political cam
paigns and have been official readers in
the national conventions.
1t is the boast Of the two men now
completing their service that the House
has never been delayed because Of them,
and that they have never made mistake
in the handling of bill.
"A reading clerk must have more than
a strong, clear voice, with perfect enunci-
alton and good staying qualities" says
Mr.. Lampson. He must have a technl-
cal knowledge of grammar and punctua-
ton, and of parliamentary practice. He
must have the ability to remember faces
and connect them with names, SO that
he can recognize the members the in
slant he sees them on the floor
1.-THE reading clerk must know the
parliamentary situation at every mo-
ment. and be ready to prompt the chair
or the House: he must keep absolute
record of every amendment, what be-
comes of it: what changes are made in
the bill. and how the measure stands at
the instant it is approved Few voices
possess the staying qualities for the job,
and the owners of many good voices do
not possess the other qualifications
1.-The filibuster is the severest strain,
added Reading Clerk Award. THE
reader must know at the beginning, how
to save himself. for his voice cannot be
recovered without long rest, If it breaks
during the course of the flibuster. To
call the roll a dozen times a day is the
are few men who can do that without
long practice or special training"

Both of the present clerks had long ex-
perience in legislative work before COM
ing to Washington, and the majority Of
the candidates who have appeared in the
new contest have also had experience OF
this character.
Mr.. Lampson who is a native OF Ash
tabula county, Ohio, and a graduate OF
the University of Michigan, had been
speaker of the Ohio house in 1883 and
1889; was elected lieutenant governor
when j. 3. Foraker lost his thirdterm
fight for governor; was nominated for
the state senate over James r. Garfield,
and served both as a senator and as
president pro tenn. of that body. His
career as lieutenant governor was brief,
for the fight over the place resulted in
his being unseated

rotary, and later as secretary, Of the

House forced him to an unusual strain in
order to carry out the work. Unable to
save either his voice his strength, he
strained his whole being so much that
the work ended in tragedy. The strain
brought on an attack of apoplexy, and
his death not long afterward was be-
lieved to be traceable to the unusual
efforts.

that he has everything all carefully

So 1T seems to me that this Is often

1t seems to me that most OF the ex-

to me that a woman, instead of under
taking to consider her husband a mere
appetite, or mere child, or a mere
mass of ungovernable impulses, should
consider that he is a nice man and
that he loves her and she loves him.
Just think how nice a home conducted

it would relieve you from the fear of

Saturday Morning
Locals Made Great Showing
Against Opponents

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. EAST high

Vernon High school foot ball team at
Recreation park Saturday morning by
score of to in a well played and
hotly contested game. The teams
were very evenly matched in weight
and East's score was on the lucky
order.
Mt. Vernon held the East lads for
two consecutive downs and a punt
followed. The ball scared high in the
air and Captain Altenburg of Mt. Ver-
non took his position for the catch.
Just as the oval was descending a
gust of wind caught 1t and carried IL
over his head and an East man fell
on 1t over Mt. Vernon's goal line. East
kicked goal. Score-East 6, Mt. Ver-

The visitors were in crippled con-

Vance, half back, and Culbertson,
quarter back, were missing from the
lineup and Captain Altenberg was suf-

MT. VERNON
Boy Making Good Showing
As A Prize Fighter

communication received from Nc
Keesport, Pa, states that frankie
Mccoy" (Clyde Altenburg) OF Mt. Yer
non is making great headway along
pugilistic lines in that city and that
he is matched with kid" Holloway
of McKeesport for bout before the
Crescent Club of that city. The fact
that he has made an impression on
the promoters is made manifest be-
cause of the fact that he and Halo
way will go on in a wind-up. This
privilege is very seldom given a new
man by any club.
There is no reason why the Mt. Yer
non fighter should not make good as
he has speed, strength and endurance.
He has a good punch in either hand
but lacks science. He is now training
hard and has signed to work out with
"Jock Since" a welterweight late of
New York City. Simco is a clever
man and frankie will no doubt gain
much knowledge OF the same while
working with him. The Mt. Vernon
man Is a conner and we will probably
hear something of him In a short

SUBJECT
Chosen For High School
Triangular Debate
Between Mt. Vernon, Newark
And GAINESVILLE High

Preparations are being made for the
annual triangular debate between Mt.
Vernon, GAINESVILLE and Newark High
schools some time in March.
The question, which was chosen by
Mt. Vernon, is as follows:
Resolved, THAT each state in the
Union should enact laws establishing
compulsory arbitration in the labor
dispute, constitutionality granted"
Although the Mt. Vernonites have
been victorious the last two years they
do not seem to think it is time to give
their opponents a chance, for their
prospects for this years debate are
fine as many of last years debaters
are still in the High school.
The preliminary debate will be held
on Dec. 9Th.
Although the coach has not been
chosen he will probably be same one
as last year, who was Mr.. Kirkpatric
of o. s. U.

Rhymes at the saw-mill and locked
him up in the Knox county Jail. The
