ident's message, details to be decided aft CT full consultation of the democratic leaders of the House and Senate
 The quarrel between Representative Lit tletOn and Chairman Stanley has wor- ried everyone intensely and it's outcome no man at the present minute knoweth Speaker Clark and Mr. Underwood are it is understood, doing their utmost 10 make the naughty lads shake hands and be friends again. At present the hos tilities have practically stopped the steel Investigating work. If the report, when 1t is offered, meets extensive opposition, it will necessitate a democratic caucus. MT. Henry, of Texas anxious to follow in the footsteps of his great predecessor, Mills, is likely to lead the opposition to Mir. Stanley's propositions. Mir Henry has bill, already drawn, which makes the criminal sections of the Sherman law more drastic and. with Speaker Clark, Mir. Stanley and other democratic leaders, he is opposed to a federal incorporation law and to federal commission to fix prices.
 In the meantime, while both sides are paying politics in planning legislation, Tafts friends are declaring that his mes sage will add to their ranks, the progress sives are propheysing that he is already beaten and Champ Clark, who believes Congress will remain in session until next summer. is emphatically stating that the tales of real disruption in the democratic party are untrue and that it is in fine shape for the fight to come.

A Moth Miller

From the New York Times.
 How long can moth miller live with out air and light?" is a question puzzling the bookworm.
 T opened an old library book the other day" he said, that had the appearance of having been closed for century, and on the very first page found moth mill Ter. He lay lifeless for a few minutes, but pretty soon he began to wrggle. Now, ordinarily moth millers are my chief aver sion. take a cruel delight in killing them, but l could not kill that moth mil Ter. played the role of lberator instead. His helplesspess touched me and I blew on him, fiicked him with my fingers, and after awhile he was able to fly away.
 Now, what I would like to know is how long had the insect been entombed? My curiosity carried me to the length of in- puiring when the book had been called for last, but the attendant informed me that since the book was in the reference department it would be prodigious labor to trace the latest reader, so how long the moth miller had suffered captivity Is still a mystery

MT Underwood declares the tariff Will f raish the chief work of Congress, and he believes the presidential veto of the wool bill was the greatest Taft mistake, He seems anxious, also, to have the bur den of suggestions concerning trust !esls- lation placed upon the shoulders or the Presiuent, for he declares his satisfaction with the sherman law.
 The work of Congress will doubtless be facilitated by the reports of the eom- missions on especial subjects, which nave been at work while Congress slept.

Washington. December 2.--(SpeciaL) Washington society men and maloehs are busy these days practicing those new dances with queer names which it is said are to be feature or the season which we are now beginning.
 The waltz, the lancers, the two step, the gallop and such old fashioned dances have to use the vernacular gore into the discard so far as real smart society is concerned and the new dances will all have a tryout.
 The far famed turkey trot," that dance so favored by Joseph Letter, and tne "chicken reel" which is an idea of Mrs. Reggie Vanderbilt, will be but few of the new steps which will startle the staid believers in the old fashioned programme.
 Miss Olga Roosevelt, and an authority on matters terpsichorean, predicts rev olutionary season.
 si.n not familiar with the turkey trot or the chicken reel" she said last night,
 If an sav genlai way. { the season of 1911-12 will see varied hy that that new steps will be intro duced. The Bosi
 will be but sample of the new steps son."
 According to Dame Rumor, a class in Turkey trotting, composing, among tob- CTS, Miss Gladys Hinckley. Miss Laure Merriam, and Countess Moltke. has al- ready been organized. There is no ab- solute verificaton of this fact although 1t IS not denied.
 But the chicken reel, ''born in the Adirondacks, transplanted to New York, and now a general society favorite," is the dance that will make Washington society cry like little child. The chick en reel, according to all press agent mo- tices, makes the grizzly bear look like tired fly when it comes to action.
 Part of the dance resembles a hump back chicken trying to walk. When the neophyte masters that, they teach him the rest of the steps. None but the lis- som and athletic can hope to learn the chicken reel.
 But, nevertheless and notwithstanding this fact, Washington society will have a try at it it.; at least, that is the ru- nor.

SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON

few days has been concerned mostly with the announcement of the engagement of Miss Mary Southerland. to Louis Bacon of Boston, The announcement was made shortly after Miss Southerlands return from a visit to MT. and Mrs. Francis B..

According to previous re- ports, the charming young woman was to enter first cabinet, then diplomatic cir cles, and more recently her name has been coupled with the son of a million aire senator.
 The wedding, which, it is expected, will take place January B. will be one of the most important events of the social season and will be the occasion for numerous festivities, Miss Southerland is an inti- mate friend of Mrs. Taft and Miss Taft and a frequent guest at the White House. She Is Miss Taft's most constant compan- ion on the latter's many horseback rides through the parks in Washington and the adjacent country.

A Sympathetic Burglar

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 T woke up suddenly the other night and thought I heard a burglar in the room. I sat up in bed and that awake my. wife . What did she do?"
 ''She accused me, as usual, of having a burglar bug. Said I'd never hear a real burglar if I lived thousand years. 1 said I'd bet I would. She said she'd bet l wouldn't. And just then a shadowy form rose from behind the dresser and a
 voice exclaimed: He wins, ma 'amv"
 'Did you catch him?'
 Catch him? I didn't try. I just laid there and laughed and heard him slam the door and run down the street. And say. my wife was so mad she didn't speak to me for a whole day. But I'll bet one thing"
 What Is it?"
 'Tll bet that burglar was married man."

VREELAND SPEAKS ON
 CURRENCY REFORM

Buffalo, N. Y, December 2.-The gov ernors of eight western states and other distinguished representatives of the coun- try beyond the Mississippi river at a dinner given by the Chamber of Com merce here tonight, heard from Con- gressman Edward B. Vreeland vice chairman of the national monetary com mission.
 Two great reforms, he said are need ed in the country's currency system.
 He said first a bank note circulation based upon gold and commercial paper indorsed by banks, and, second. mobiliza- tion of part of the copntry's cash re- serve in the hands of a central organ ization, where it can be used instanter and overwhelming in quantities when needed was necessary.

report is now entirely ready. The na- tional monetary commission will also of fer d report; the public lands commit tees of the two houses in the matter of the Alaskan coal lands, have completed their reports: the Panama canal com mission has framed up a report on tolls 8a.ch will form the basis of important legislation and there are other matters of almost as great importance which, having been investigated between ses- sions, will be elucidated when the flags go up on the two wings.
 Congress Not Friendly
 It is predicted by wise men, more- over, that Congress, this year. is not friendly to these various Investigating bodies, which will be novelty. It has been the custom of our lawmakers to first appoint committees and commissions and to then begin to hate them very cordially, for some unknown reason. Thus, much of the money which has been eX- pended in the past upon special investi- gations, has been wasted utterly. If this proves not to be the case this year, a national habit will have been reversed and the taxpayer will have achieved a triumph. The economy and efficiency comm ission was the only one of all the list which was not appointed directly or Indirectly by request of Congress, ex- cept the tariff board, which Congress at first bitterly opposed, but which it has since then, acceI ted with at least some favor. The report of the national mon etary commission, and of the stock and bonds commission, are likely to provoke especially intense discussion.
 The reports. whether or not their recom- mendatons are accepted will undoubtedly save q good deal of investigation and thus, at any rate. they will have econo- mixed the time of Congress. Most of the investigative bodies will present bills, when they hand in their reports and this will make concentrated effort possible at a period of the session which has hitherto found the ideas of the legislators is in- choate shape. Last session saw the per- lection of congressional organization, thus the prompt reports of these com- mittees and commissions will put the second session in condition for quick ac- ton on important subjects.

Bill enjoyed a joke just as we'll II II
was on himself as il 1t was on the 9th
er fellow. For many years he was en-
gagged in the livery business at Holton
and dealt in horses. One day be heard
that a preacher at an adjacent town
had horse Tor sale. Bill went over to
make q deal The animal was a Joe
Dandy, Jus; what Bill wanted. The
price was a little stiff, yet Bill was
ready to pay for 1t If he had to.
HAS that horse any faultsT asked
Bill.
THAT Is q fine horse. and be has no
bad faults except one" replied ths
preacher.
whats that7' asked Bin.
HE is a kinder" said the preacher.
Now, that was new one on Bill, but
he didn't propose to show his igno-
rance. Being a horse trader for twenty
years, he didn't intend to let preacher
put one over on him.
"Kindler, eh?" replied Bill. "Well.
that isn't 80 bad am used to
kindlers. can cure him in short or.
der. l have a bottle or two OF patent
medicine which is warranted to cure
that disease. Furthermore, Will put
him on an alfalfa diet and be will
soon be all right"
The preacher made no comment e1-
cept to say that he was glad that a
kinder could be SO easily cured. The
trade was made, and Bill tied the
preachers horse on behind bis buggy
and drove back to Holton.
The next morning he grew condden-
tial with some Of his friends In the
horse business and told what q good
trade he had made with the preacher
good for Bill. Then he hitched the
horse up to buggy to show him OF
to a prospective buyer. The animal
had not gone more than twenty feet
until Bill found out what kinder
was. The horse kicked the brand new
buggy into kindling wood
What q successful horse trader that
preacher would maker snorted Bill
as he gathered up the splinters from
the shattered buggy and led the horse
back into the stable.-Kansas City
