other children who know no other home
but an orphan asylum, a six-weeks-old
baby boy is being cared for today at the

Neatly dressed in well made but not
expensive clothes, the infant was found
on the doorstep of the asylum In a
wicker basket shortly before o'clock
last night. The child was discover ed
through a telephone message from an
unidentified man. who called up the in
st,tution. and said:
There is a baby crying on Your

At first it was thought the message
might have come from the father Of the
child, who wanted to make sure that
the baby was given proper attention,
but today the police are of the opinion
that one of the neighbors heard the
infant crying and notified the asylum,
There were no marks on the child's

and until the member gives consent TO
the interruption.
Up to the present time this rule has
been observed in the breach rather
than in the observance. Today. how
ever. the old members who desire TO
take a short cut into another mans
speech are being forcibly reminded
that the new Speaker does not propose
to be ignored. and that he does pro-
pose to enforce the rules. When Champ
Clark is in the chair he pays strict at
tention to what is transpiring on the
floor. II a member ignores the Chair
and thereby violates the rules, he is
reminded Of his transgression by re-
sounding smash Of the Speakers gaveL

yield to the gentleman from New
York;" bellows the Speaker.

Mr.. Clark insists on going through
this form of procedure even II the gen.
tleman from Maine has yielded and
the gentleman from New York has pro-
pounded his question and received his
answer. The Speaker makes the two

keeps on hammering his gavel on his
sounding board. and keeps on hammer
ing away at the refractory members, he
may be able to bring about a condition
which will enable debate to proceed
decorously.
1t is with the gossipy members of
the House that Speaker Clark is hav-
ing his greatest difficulty. 1t is a COM
mon occurrence nowadays for a speak
er or the floor TO be interrupted by a
crash of the Speakers gavel.
Gentlemen desiring to engage in con-
versation will retire to the cloak
rooms" declares the Speaker 'AII
gentlemen standing in the aisles will
retire to their seats. We are transact
ing public business here and every
member has a right to hear what is
said"
Other presiding officers have tried
the Clark reform. but they have not
kept at II very long.
The Washington times., 1911-04-17

Every writer, American and foreign,
who has attempted to describe the
House of Representatives in the act Of
transacting business has severely criti-
cised the lack of dignity Of that body.
the constant hum of conversation, and
the failure of members to observe the
proprieties of debate which are strictly
adhered to in the Senate. Thus early
in his career as Speaker Champ Clark
has demonstrated that he agrees with
all Of the criticisms aimed at the House,
and he has set about to correct condi-
tons.
When Clark was elected Speaker there
was some speculation as to what kind
Of presiding officer and parliament
tartan he would prove to be. The busi-
ness before the House Up to the present
time has been so restricted that the
new Speaker has not been called upon to
weigh the fine points of parliamentary
law. He has had an opportunity-and
he has improved ito show how he pro-
poses to preside over the House. and his
performances up to date give members
reason to hope that before his term
expires the House will be restored to
some semblance of order during the
consideration of business.
The Rules.
From the time the House was organ
lzed for the first Congress the rules
have been very definite regarding the
modus operiSldi of debate. The trainers
of these rules evidently intended that
debate should not degenerate into a
tree-for all conversation between men,
oers, without regard to order, without
regard to the Presiding Officer, and,
worst OF all, without regard to other
members of the House who vainly en-
deavor to follow the proceedings.
Although the House has been fighting
about the rules for more than two
years, these particular rules about the
method by which debates may be con-
Quoted have long since been forgotten
1t will take a man of courage and pa
tienCe to break up the present practice
Of noisy conversation, rambling debate
between members in monotone, and an
utter disregard for the part to be played
in the proceedings by the members.
Evidently Champ Clark thinks he has
the courage and the patience, and he
has started out to enforce the rules in
that resUect.
Broken Gavels.
It is true that the Speaker has

Music Study and Mental Discipline
were the subjects very ably portrayed
by Miss Fanny G.. Amidon Of the music
department Of the normal school at
Valley City. She said that 1t did not
take very deep research to reach the
conclusion that music is paramount in
the discipline OF the mind No branch
of study, for instance, demands so
much concentration of ali the mental
capacities as does the study Of music.
Some able professors to the contrary
Notwithstanding the study OF music Is
far superior TO the study of matlie-
mates. No branch OF study requires
SO much discipline as the one OF music.
In what else, but in the study OF
music Is required the best applica-
ton OF patience, perseverance,, pune
tuality, memorizing, sympathy, senti-
ment, and many other traits In plain
words Miss Amidon explained the dis
ctpline required In the study Of and
the listening to intelligently OF the

She devoted considerable space to the
relation Of power to music, She told
how the character OF schoolroom can

The BELLBoY's AGENT TIP.

Chicago Evening Post: The MARIA
tive Of the bellboy who ''sped the part
ing guest and received four pennies
In reward is an excuse for the recol-
lection that when Tamagno came to
this country he inquired frst what the
smallest coin was. Then he converted
a dollar or two into pennies and as
sumed the airs of one Of the digni-
taries Of his own land.
The elevator boy who opened the
cage deferentially received a penny;
likewise the guardian of the front
door. No servant of the hotel with
whom he came in daily contact was
overlooked and still Signor Tomagno's
pennies lasted q long time.
Eventually the Italian visitor had to
make complaints about slack attention.
The bell service was slow-mysterious
ly to him--and he had been so lavish
and constant in his remembrance of all
about him!
Then II was explained to him in
Italian that the usual reward for ans
wering q bell call was 10 cents and
that the over rich sometimes made IL
a quarter. Signor Tamagno thought
the customs of the country strange and
refused. Indignantly, to subscribe to
them. His American tour was to bring
him certain number OF thousands

landmarks and Indian and pioneer

future generations.
The president then called on n. G.
Fish OF Bismarck, who read a most
able plea for the state rnuweun and
its work. He said that II was fully
realized that museum in itself could
not reach the majority OF people, but
that through the newspaper files.
through the use OF photography and
lectures the vastly interesting and fn-
structive collection of relics and an
tiQue customs might be presented to
the people. Mr. Fish mentioned the
interest which was shown by the
young people ia the already growing
museum OF our state.
The last subject taken up was the
Manner of Teaching History for row
er. by Prof. w. M. Wemett OF val
ley City. He stated that from the
extreme OF teaching the youth the
ancient and past history, the plan of
teaching modern history and how to
live In the present day and age was
most necessary change. He gave
instances where such q plan would be
most beneficial
The president then called on su-

Wemett's plan fully.
