TINE 70 FORGET BIRTHDAYS
After All, Why Should One Be Re-
minded Of the Passage Of
Cruel Time3

After youth has passed, birthdays
should be overlooked, save about
once in ten years. Every ten years
it is decent to have a birthday. 1t is
bad form to mention age, as that is
something to be politely ignored,
and people who always announce
their coming anniversary get the
credit of holding up their friends,
which is neither pretty nor nice
from an impartial standpoint. You
will be told by dear Matilda that
she is to celebrate her birthday next
week. "Why, dear me, Matilda. how
old are you?" "Oh," says Matilda,
give reached the time when I don't
know" "Thcn, for goodness sake,
don't mention it." On the other
hand, the morning mail contains q
gentle reminder that an old friend
will be SO and so next Wednesday,
and how we'll she remembers the
lovely anwcrs sent her on a previous
occasion and the fclicitous note ac-
companying them! What short
year! Are those flowers paid for?-
you wonder, though, Of course, Trey
must be, else there would have been
trouble. And now here is another
birthday "to be remembered !" Ger
tainly there should be no s'birth-
days" save for children and centena-
rians!

CHINESE" GORDON.

It was there that I saw Gen. Cor
don for the only time. He was a
curiously listless-looking, nervous
little man, with a sort of furtive
look and expression, as if he always
anticipated something unpleasant.
He was not agreeable or encourag-
ing and he gave very little outward
evidence of the power and influence
he possessed. He spoke little and
seemed bored when he was addressed
or asked any question.-From Lady
st. Helier's Memoirs.

jcNNsoN's HOME FOR RENT
oppcrtunity for Admirer to Live In
House Where Famous Dictionary
Was Compiled.

DR.. Johnson's house in Cough
square is "to let," and these is an
opportunity for an admirer to live
in the place where the dictionary OF
most of it was actually compiled.
The doctor resided at Cough
square from 174S to 1853, and we
know that the dictionary was begun
a year besore the first date and pub
lished in 1855. At the top Of the
house, which is a large one, he had
a room fitted up for his five or SIX
assistants, whom he kept constantly
under his eye.
An interleaved copy Of Bailey's
dictionary in folio he made the basis
of his work, and he collected his au-
thorities by incessant reading, his
method being to score with black
lead pencil the words he selected.
The house has many melancholy
memories. Here Johnson's wife died
in 1852 and left him more than ever
a prey to his natural gloom. And
here he was arrested for a paltry
debt of Is 18s. and taken to q
sponging house in the neighborhood
of Cursitor street.
But it was here also that his
struggles met with their reward, and
when in the last year Of his tenancy
johnson began s'The 1dler" he is
described as being in Gas easy and
pleasant q state of existence as con-
stitutional unhappiness ever permit
ted him to enjoy."-Iondon Chron'

Give Leave of Absence

A Washington d. c., dispatch of
August End said Favorable report
was made today by the house commit
tee on public lands on the Warren bill
passed by the senate, permitting home
steaders in certain states to leave their
lands temporarily in order to make
livelihood until another crop can be
raised.
Representative Burke appeared
before the committee and urged its
favorable report He says the lands in
South Dakota affected by the bill are
in the Lennon, Timber Lake, Rapid
City, Chamberlain, Belle Fourche,
Gregory and Pierre districts.
1t is believed the bill, which permits
absence from the date of the approval
of the act until April l, 1912, which
time is not to be deducted from the full
time of residence required by law, will
be passed by the house and become
law.
Senator Gamble has introduced bill
in the senate providing for the extern
sion of time for parents for entries in
the Rosebud reservation. The bill is
similar to that of Representative Burke
which has been favorably reported by
house committee on Indian affairs.

Whites Opinion of Many illinois
Legislators.

Washington. Aug. 5.--To his story
Of how he says he was bribed to vote
for Lorimer, Charles A. White, former
member of the Illinois legislature,
added for the benefit of the senate
Lorimer committee that he believed
every one of the fifty-three Democrats
who voted for Lorimer did so for a
money consideration. He added that
he thought some of the Republicans
who voted for Lorimer got money for
so doing.
White declined to mention the
names Of any Republicans he suspect
cd. because it is just a matter of
opinion and do not want to do an in
Justice to any one" He said he based
his opinion about wholesale corruption
on the fact that he was bribed and
that others confessed they also were
bribed.

DECLARES BRYAN
IS A FALSIFIER
Underwood Scores Nebraskan
In the House.

Washington, Aug. BIN an impas,
stoned speech in the house Chairman
Underwood Dem., Ala.) of the house
ways and means committee replied to
the charge of William j. Bryan that
he had wilfully blocked a revision of
the iron and steel schedule at this
session of congress because of his
personal interest in the industry.
The ovation which followed Mr.. I'M
derwood's peroration, in which he de-
nounced the statement of Mr.. Bryan
as absolutely false, was given him by
unanimous Democracy in the house.
Even the old Bryan wheel horses
arose to their feet and cheered Mr..
Underwood to the echo, following
which they crowded down the aisles
to shake him by the hand. The scene
as whole was one of the most spec.
tacular witnessed in the house in
many sessions.
Mr.. Underwood took the floor in the
house Immediately upon the conven-
ing of that body, and the knowledge
that he intended to reply to Mr.. Bryan
and the purport of his reply was al
ready so well known to the Demo
Gratis in the house, as to bring forth
an ovation at the outset. The APP
plause lasted fully FIVE minutes and
was quelled with difficulty even then.
