BELIEVES L0RlMER GUILTY
Senator Brown Addresses Senate Of
illinois Case.

Senator Brown Addresses Senate on
Illinois Case.
Washington, Feb. 2.-That Senator
William Lorimer of Illinois had fun
knowledge of the bribery by which it
is charged his election was procured
was asserted by Senator Norris Brown
OF Nebraska in the course Of speech
made in the senate.
This was step in advance of any.
thing before taken on the subject.
Declaring consideration of the Lorimer
case to be essential to proper dis.
cussion of the question of electing
United States senator's by direct vote
Mr.. Brown undertook to show that
the relations between Mr.. Lorimer and
Representative Lee O'Neill Browne
had been such as to make it certain
that Lorimer had been positively ad.
vised as to Brownies operations in
Lorimer's behalf.
= To this end the senator undertook
to show that the support of Browne
and his thirty Democratic followers
had been procured through Speaker
Shurtletf, the roommate and warm
friend of Mr.. Lorimer, and that after
Lorimer and Browne had been brought
together they were in constant con.
ference, meeting as often as a dozen
times on one evening.

Women on Waralins.

In the British navy Of Nelson's day
It was not uncommon for wives to live
aboard men-o'-war with their sailor
husbands. Scarce one Of England's
walls of oak" in Nelson's time but
had some woman aboard who braved.
the perils and hardships Of the sea in
order to be with her husband. In
nearly every one Of the twenty-seve1
line of battleships under Nelson's
command In the great battle of Traf
algar was-one or more women, wives
Of sailors. Surprise may be expressed
that English men-of-war's men were
permitted to have their wives aboard.
1t was only by special permission Of
the admiralty that this could be done
and then permission was granted
somewhat in the light Of penance for
sanctioning the press gang system,
which was largely in vogue at that
time. Men were seized in the streets
and other public places and compelled
to serve in British warships because
"the king needed men," Some of the
men thus seized had political influence
and, being unjustly compelled to serve
in the navy, were permitted to have
their wives share their Involuntary
Servitude.

A Mean ADVANTAGE,

In breach of promise case the bar
rister who held the brief for injured
beauty arranged that his fair client
should be so placed that her charms
should be we'll under the observation
of the jury. He began most pathetic
appeal by directing their attention to
her beauty and calling for justice upon
the head of him who could wound the
heart and betray the confidence Of one
so fair, concluding with a peroration
Of such pathos as to melt the court
to tears. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT then rose, and after paying
the lady the compliment of admitting
that it was impossible not to assent
to the encomiums lavished upon her
face he added that nevertheless he
felt bound to ask the jury not to for
get that she wore a: wooden leg. Then
he sat down. The important fact of
which the fair plaintiffs counsel was
unaware was presently established,
and the jury, feeling rather sheepish
at their tears, assessed damages at
the smallest amount.

Tho American Baby.

The American baby has a fine,
strong ancestry. The young men of
England who were impatient Of reli-
gious restraint and of physical oppres-
sion; the young men of Germany
touched with the dream of democracy;
the pick Of northern Europe, the
strong, the fair, the self reliant, the
conscientious English at bottom, but
with dash Of the best blood of other
races-this is the American baby, and
no king and no lord ever had a better
heritage. Take it as it goes, in Mas
sachusetts, in Ohio, in Michigan, in
Washington, in California, the average
American baby has in it's veins more
of the blood Of the Plantagenets than
any king now living has. 1t was his
fortune to have come from the daugh.
ter lines and the lines of the younger
sons, not from the elder son, whom
British custom has marked for the
aristocrat.-David Starr Jordan.

The Race With the Ram,

In Morocco the strange season of the
Mohammedan new year, beginning
March 9, is generally called "Ait-el-
Hanwela," the rain feast. The people
Of Morocco pay more elaborate atten-
ton to the item of sacrifice than any
other Moslems. In every town a su-
preme offering Of a ram or he goat
takes place at the door of the princi-
pal mosque. Immediately after it is
struck by the official imam in pres
ence Of the multitude it is flung on the
shoulders of stalwart Moor, who, ex-
ert1ng his utmost strength, runs like a
deer through the narrow streets, pur-
sued by a rabble. The poor animal is
pelted with stones by boys and is
jeered at with execrations from every
house, as it is reputed to be carrying
the sins of the people. The man
PUSHES along with his burden till he
reaches the door of the cadi's palace
If the animal is still breathing the
augury is excellent, for good luck is
to be expected all through the year
But If the ram is dead all sorts of evil
representations are muttered.

The One Dish Diet.

A food specialist said of dieting:
'The simplest, easiest and most eff
cacious diet to bring down the weight
is the one dish diet. At no meal, that
is, should more than one dish be
eaten.
''The dish may be what you will
Irish stew, macaroni and cheese, roast
beef, vegetable soup, bacon and eggs
but no courses are to precede or fol.
low it. You may eat as much as you
choose of the dish, and yet for all that
you will lose weight steadily.
cts the variety of dishes-the oys-
tiers, soup, fish, turkey, mince pie, ice
cream-it's the variety of dishes, Gre
ating an artificial appetite when the
body has really had all it requires,
that causes corpulence. If we confine
ourselves to one dish we know when
we've had enough-we don't know 9th.

drop down to the slimness natural to
children, animals and temperate and

"LlD' CAUSES Law SUIT
Cass Lake Saloon Keeper Refused to
Pay for Liquor onPeculiar Grounds.
One of the many legal battles

One of the many legal battles
growing out of the recent closing or
der for saloons within the Indian ter
ritory is that of VIM. Kirchoff, for
mer saloonkeeper of Cass Lake, and
Sam Sutor, a hotel man of the same
city.
1t appears that in 1909 Mr. Kirch-
off received the order to remove his
stock of liquor from the county, and
he accordingly took it to Farris,
station some six miles from Cass Lake
but outside the county, where it was
stored. Later when the orders were
so modified as to permit of the OPEN
ing of the hotels, MIR. Kirchoff saw an
opportunity to dispose of his stock
to Mr.. Sutor, who operated a hotel in
Cass Lake. The bargain was closed
and Kirchoff received small pay
ment on account, the stock was
transferred from Farris to the cellar
of the Sutor hostelry and then, &C
cording to Kirchoff, when the lid
was once more clapped on, Mr. Sutor
informed the federal authorities of
the presence of the liquor in the eel
lar and it was destroyed by them,
the value being about $14OO or
$500. Mr.. Sutor then refused to
pay Mr. Kirchoff the balance due on
the stock and it is for this that Mr..
Kirchoff is suing He has retained

brought against Mr.. Sutor.

Twain's Most Quoted Witticism.

IWaInS MOST kuoteo "ttlc1Sms
OF all the witty things said or writ
ten by Mark Twain no phrase has
been quoted oftener than his reply to an
alarmist report, "Rumor of my death
greatly exaggerated" I think the his
tory of this bonmot, says a CORE
spondent, may interest. Mark Twain
was on visit to London some years
ago and had been secured as the chief
guest of dinner to be given by lit
erary club. On the morning of the day
when the dinner was to take place the
secretary was shocked to hear a ru-
NOR that Mark Twain had died sud-
denly. At his Wits end, he sought to
verify it by a diplomatic note to Mrs
Clemens, in which he mentioned the
rumor. Mark Twain got hold of the
note and telegraphed the now famous
reply, "Rumor of my death greatly ex-
aggerated." -
