WITH THE WITS

Thomas Nelson Page was tell
ing of an office boy named Eu-
gene, and colored, whom he had
when he practiced law in Rich
mond, says the San Francisco
Wasp. The boy wasn't much of
a help about the Office. but with
proper persuasion he could be in
duced to sweep out every morn
ing. One day, however, he did
not appear. Page went to the
office saw it was not swept and
went out and walked for an hour
and came back. No boy had been
there. He walked another hour
and still no boy. He walked un-
til 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
no boy; so, very angry, he de-
cided to go out and interview the
boys father about it.

hasn't been at my office at all to-
Gay, eHplOQeQ rage.
''Sho'ly Massa Tom replied

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Pierce of
St. Louis, when they went abroad
last year, took with them old
Auntie Mollie, acolored mammie.
She didn't think much of this
"gallivantin' round de world,
and thought less of it every min
ute she was gone.
Finally they reached Scotland,
and one Sunday Aunt Mollie
found an opportunity to So to
church. 1t was the first time in
months she had done SO, and
when she got inside and heard
the music and the prayers, her
oldtime religious fervor began to
work. She began to rock for
ward and back, keeping up a low
muttering way down deep in her
throat. Finally she could restrain
herself no longer and let out a
lusty shout.
Dress de Lawd!" she cried.
Immediately a tall, austere old
sexton (that is, he would have
been a sexton in America tip
toed down the aisle, leaned over
and whispered to her:
Eye will ma make sic remarks
in here"
For several minutes Aunt Mol
lie rocked back and forth in ST.
lence and then again her emo
tons got the better Of her and
again she shouted out:
Dress de LaWdi"
Again the old man tiptoed down
to her, touched her on the
shoulder and said sternly:
Kindly keep quiet in here.
Aunt Mollie rolled her big eyes
up at him and said in a husky
whisper:
Il jest cyant help it, boss, ! is
gettin' religion"
Il Gamma help that, said the
old fellow firmly, this is no
place to get religion. New

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May IL.
Dear Dad: You want TO know why

city and other bills In the house OF
representatives. will tell you. Out
of a multitude OF experience covering
a period which is getting 10 be so long
that 1t is better not to number the
years, | have discovered that legisla-
ton comes TO its final test always In
one branch Of our national assembly.
They don't make the fight twice. IL
the flight Is going to happen In the
senate. 1t doesn't happen in the house
On the other hand, II II Is going u
happen In the house, II doesn't happen
In the senate. As TO the tarin Dill
in the house there Is nothing 10 say
except that Ii is TO pass, or that II
has passed, because the real fight Is
TO be made IN the senate. That Is
where the wooden trust has concen-
trated its attention.
The reason the Special Privilege
senators refused TO let Cummins be
named on the committee on finance
must be found In the fight which Is TO
come over Schedule X and the tar
III free list. The finance committee
makes the tariff bill. The Democrats
have selected three genuine revision
lists for their new members on the
finance committee. They refused TO let
Bailey wing name one OF the three.
The defeat of the tariff and Special
Privilege gang in this preliminary
skirmish has made II necessary that
the Republican members OF the finance
committee be chosen with extreme
care. LaFollette's slate provided FOL
the appointment Of Cummins and La
Toilette on the finance committee.
This was agreed to by Gallinger and
Penrose, but the tariff interests took
their case to the White House and the
Special Privilege senators were call
ed In and shown how II would be pos
sible for a combination OF the Pro
gressive Republican senators with the
