His witty Reply.

An English lady Of title. while visit
ing Washington after the Gould-Decies
wedding, which she had come over to
attend. was greatly surprised at the
public discussion over the smoking
Of a cigarette by Lady Decies at the
window of her private car.
81 hear" said this lady. that for
some time to come. on account Of this
incident. Lady Decies will be bothered
with letters of criticism from stran-
gers and anti-cigarette leagues. The
American prejudice against women
smokers Is extraordinary.
Il suppose. however" continued the
speaker, that there are anti-tobacco
faddists everywhere. I remember
clever answer to one of these faddists
made by Rev. C. H. Spurgeon. the
great preacher.
"A gentleman wrote to Mr.. Spur
geon, saying that he had heard he
smoked, and could not believe it to
be true. Would Mr. Spurgeon write
and tell him II It really was so? The
reply was:
Dear Sir: cultivate my flowers
and burn my weeds-Yours truly. C.
H. Spurgeon.'

WILL WAIT AND SEE.

As compared with the silly move.
ment to declare a general strike
throughout the nation in protest again
ct the arrest and prosecution of the
McNamaras, on the charge of dyna-
hitting the Los Angeles Times and
killing neutrality-suspicious., refreshing
sentiment comes from Fort Worth,
Tex, where the labor organizations of
the city passed the following resolu-
tiOns:
The case is in the hands of the
courts for settlement and ut this dis.
lance We cannot tell what the facts are.
No matter how strong our sympathy
might be for Mcnamara and his
associates. any action on our part
could not and should not affect the
situation. Whoever is guilty of caus.
ing the Times explosion should be
hanged if captured and convicted.
We see no reason why the courts can
not develop the truth of McNamara's
innocence or guilt and We see no rea-
son for meddling in the matter. If
the prisoners are innocent they will be
vindicated and labor unions should not
try to block the procedure of the court
in getting at the truth. 1t is as much

SOME DANGER IN F0lE GRAS
Geese From Which livers Are Taken
Arc Now F1ttened with
Poison.

Nothing is better" said Gordon
Bleu. than foie gras. or fat goose
liver. A foie gras is the size of two
pound steak. It Is as white as milk
and It tastes rather like ground pea
nut butter. Yet SO light and ethereal
Is Q foie gras greenhorns would take
It for something powdered up and
whipped. like cream.
You know how they get these liv-
ers? They shut up the goose. and
they stuff him with food forced
through q hose. He must eat. whether
he wants to or not. He Is exactly like
the sufRragette hunger strikers In
London, whom the home ONCE fed
through stomach pumps.
1T takes years to fatten a goose
to the point where his great white
liver is as big as q football. but lately
a genius has arisen In France who
will fatten him in few months.
This quick. cheap fattening is &C
complished by the addition OF salts OF
sorrel. or binoxalate Of potash. to the
goose's food. The binoxalate Of potash
works like q charm. The only trouble
with the superb nvers It produces Is
that these livers. containing oxalate
Of potassium. occasionally kill those
who eat them"
Gordon Bleu smiled ironically.
But in these days of industrialism.
he said. when property is sacred and
life cheap. ca ne fait rein-that doesn't
matter"

Women Then and Now.

Mrs. Lucy Chase Glover Of Ruther-
ford, N. J., has been looking into the
matter and finds that It was as hard
to make q living in colonial days a. II
is now. and yet the mothers Of those
days brought up big families and en-
tertained better with all their other
cares than women with small families
do today. She says that touching q
match to a gas log and lighting a
wood fire were entirely different kinds
of work. and that under the present
labor-saving housekeeping there
should be less wear and tear on the
nerves. But the modern woman does
not keep her temper any better than
the colonial dame.

An Honor to Allison.

DO you know" inquired Wilbur
Reaser, the New York portrait painter
that when my painting Of Senator Al
lison was hung in the lobby of the sen.
ate, the precedent of 40 years was bro
kent?
Surprised being expressed Mr. Rea-
ser explained.
1T is q fact that since the beginning
Of the constitutional government the
senate had bought only nine portraits
for the lobby The first was Washing
tons and the eighth was Charles Sum
ner's. For almost 40 years nobody was
considered worthy to follow in the dis
tinguished line.
1T was generally thought that no
other portrait would ever be added to
the group; but when Senator Allison
lied. after serving longer in the senate
than any other man in the history of
the government, the rule was broken,
and his picture became the ninth

One afternoon two little girls, the
daughters of two Of his professors,
we're riding ON gentle old horse up

A STAND FOR LAW.

Cardinal Gibbons is out ofsympathy
with the proposition to boil down"
the Ten Commandments. He appears
really, to have a notion that the Crea-
tor knew what he wanted to say and
also what words to use in saying it.
The cardinal is evidently not in touch
with the new cult of selection in words
which begins by saying that all word
superfluities are an abomination. The
cult would be better if it addressed it,
self to education and culture, which
means acquired and delicate percep.
ton Of meanings in words. When it is
made to stand for ruthless excelsior of
everything in our etymologies but the
words needed to fill the narrower
views of things, the movement becomes
. burlesque.
The chapters of the Decalogue in
which the Ten Commandments are
found are models of conciseness. Je.
hovah seems to have wasted no time in
talking to Moses. He went straight to
the point and laid down the law in
such clear and sure way as to leave
NJ room for lawyers to raise technical.
titles in its administration. In order
to do this, he found it necessary to
illuminate shades of meaning which
were . part of the divine purpose and
which, he must have felt, might be
turned from that purpose if not so i'll.
animated. Accordingly, he used just
the number of words needed to make
his meaning clear and to tell what
would happen to anybody disobeyins
him. He did not use one word too
many or one too few. And his statutes
stand now as about the only ones left
in which some form of technical loop
hole can not. be found. If he had
used more or less than enough words
than needed to make himself under
stood, this could not be said.
"What horrible thing it is" says
Cardinal Gibbons, ito undertake to
lay hands on Gods Commandments.
We must not dare to change an iota
of Gods word" One need not be
orthodox, or wholly out of sympathy |
with higher criticism, in order to SUBJ
