Men in the New Congress.

When the extraordinary session OF
the end Congress convenes next Tues
day, a number of the most conspicu-
ous leaders of the 61st Congress will
have stepped aside. Other and I'M
tried men will take their places. 1t
Will be one of the interesting phases
of the session to watch these new per-
sonaities in action.
Aside from the question of success
or failure of the Democratic control
of the National House. the personal
side of the new lineup will be full
of possibilities. There will be plenty
of opportunities for young men to
prove their ability to come to the
front. Aldrieh and Hale are out. Dol
liver is dead. But in the upper house
of Congress there will be added to the
group of Democratic leaders the
unique figure of John Sharp Williams,
with reputation as one of the readi-
est debaters and ablest orators ever
developed in the House of Representa-
tives. 1t is expected that he will add
largely to the Democratic side with
his rapier-like wit. Senator Bailey's
position is secure should he refrain
fyofn INDUCING in third resignation.

A fire company in a southern town
has the latest attack of agricultural
enthusiasm. 1t is cultivating a gar
den reaching from the rear of the en-
CINE house several hundred feet.
String beans, tomatoes. potatoes, but
ter beans, radishes. cabbages, lettuce,
okra, squash. green peppers, carrots,
cucumbers, watermelons, beets, and
mustard are some of the different
vegetables growing. The area for
each Of these is laid off in the most
artistic manner and shows signs of di-
rection by a real gardener who has
lived next to the soil at some time in
his life. The garden serves now as
a beauty spot where heretofore moth
ing but a stretch of ground was to be
seen. 1t is attracting much attention
and comment among residents in the
neighborhood and from those who pass
by. Most cities have such lots which

Dr. Jackola believes that the
strength of the suffrage movement
comes from preponderance of women
in the population, quoting as an ex-
ample his own country. Finland, where
there are 100000 more women than
men and where women have the ballot.
In view of the fact that women are in
a majority he believes that they
should have the right to propose and
not be compelled to wait until asked
by some slow going male before hav-
ing a chance at matrimony. This last
suggestion was heartily applauded by
the suffragists. What. Can 1t be
possible that this is the inspiration OF
the suffragist movement? ID

More Paupers Expected.

Worcester Telegram)
Several more Massachusetts towns are
selling their poorfarms because they
have no paupers TO care for in the past
two or three years. But they should not
be in hurry. The Democrats are pre-
pairing to make free trade for this coun-
try and that has multiplied the paupeI
list in old England 50 per cent, in the past
few years This is not the old country
but even Massachusetts cannot stand
everything or all kinds of free trade
punched at one session of Congress.
Some of the money that has abolished
poverty in this state is going north over
the Canadian line to diminish the poverty
there after the reciprocity agreement lets
in the milk and other farm products free
of duty Therefore it will spread a little
thinner over Massachusetts.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
(New York Pres.


The heroic soldiers of life don't
show off their medals in public.
A judges point of view would seem
strange to him if he were the judged.
The most successful thing about a
joke is when you tell it ahead of the
other fellow.
If a woman didn't have to open the
envelopes she might like to receive the
kilograms.
Even when a girl is bride she in
sists upon keeping her ideals till she
gets home and has to manage the
cook.
Good intentions always spoil before
it's time to use them.
A man has to know a lot to realize
what a lot more there is for him to
learn. .lo7

ONE Of the instruments I use is a
OCurtis motion target. This in
strument is used IN testing the eyes.
It's great function IS TO cause the
eye while being tested to relax to
its natural state Of rest and repose,
thus obviating the use Of drugs as
used by the old school oculist
to dilate the pupil Of the eye. With
the Curtis instrument the operator
is able to get the true condition of
the eye Instantly, not SO with the
drugs. The instrument is very in
teresting, and the eye in looking at
the motion target is instantly re-
Taxed to it's natural state of rest.
The examination is made in one half
the usual time and the lenses given
for correction of vision are right.

of those targets here when he comes
