Washington, Dec. 10.--Represen-
tatiye Yates Webb, of Tennessee will
make determined effort to secure
action on his liquor bill early in the
short session of congress. lie will
attempt 20 secure final action on his
ceasure by the time the senate has
disposed Of the Kenyon Sanders bill
which has been set for vote De-
cember 10. The Webb bill and the
Kenyon Sanders bill prohibit the
shipment of liquor into prohibition
states for Illegal purposes. Senators
Sanders aud Kenyon are expected to
get aggressively behind their meas
ure as soon a. congress meets.
Congressman Webb introduced his
measure nearly three years ago. La
ter, what is known as the Kenyon
Sheppard bill was introduced. 1t
simply embodies the Webb bill with
and added section providing that
there shall be no property right in
such liquor while in the possession
of any railroad or express company
or other common carrier in connec-
tion with any shipment or transpoT-
tatiou thereof in violation of this
act"
The Sheppard section was strick-
en- by the senate Judiciary commit
tee and the Sanders amendment Civ
ing to the states police powers over
unlawful shipments was accepted.
Mr.. Webb has good reason to believe
that the house judiciary committee,
of which he is ranking member. and
the house leaders will interpose no
hindrance to action On his measure.
With the Kenyon Sanders bill and
the Webb bill passed by the two
houses, the minor differences be-
tween the two measures would be
adjusted in conference.

PUZZLED THE LAWYER.

A daily newspaper tells the story of lawyer who received a call from a' new client, man bent upon recoy- erlng sum of money advanced upon a note and not repaid.
 "Who is the debtor?" asked tha lawyer
 "Oh, she's a relative of mine." 'How nearly related?''
 "Very nearly"
 "But, my dear sir," persisted thd lawyer. you must be more explicit"
 Well, she may be my mother-in-. law
 May be? Then you are likely to marry her daughter"
 'I've already married the dauxf.. ter'' :
 'Then, of course, the defendant as your mother-in-law."
 Perhaps you'd better. hear tha whole story" returned the client. You see, a year ago we lived to- gether, my son and I. Acroa the way lived the widow Foster ana her daughter Mary. I married Mary. end my son married the widow. Now perhaps you can tell me whethnr mN sons wife is my mother-in-law or my daughter-in-lawf"
 The lawyer did not answeg. Ina problem was unfamiliar. He was not ready.
 'I-don't think I can taaes your case,'' he said. "It presents too many complications''
 every well," returned the man, ka1- ing his hat, despondently. sBut there's one thing I forgot. Since our double wedding a child has been born to each of us. What relation ara those two children to each other?"

GEORGES SWORD CUTS CAKE
Memento of Washington Used at
 Wedding of Friends Descendant

Philadelphia, June 7-"When you wed, Edna, cut, your wedding cake with the sword of the father of your country It will bring you luck and fortune Treasure this blade with which Washington helped to win our independence.
 These were the deathbed instruc- tions of John Le Bree to his daughter just before he died four years ago. She carried them out to the letter yesterday when she married Harold A. Smith.
 The sword descended to the brides father from his ancestor, John Hew- ston, manufacturer of printing call leo in Philadelphia in Colonial days and a warm supporter of freedoms cause when the Revolutionary war opened He became an ardent admir- CT and firm friend of Gen. Washing ton and during the war he issued from his establishment llandkerchiefs bearing Washington's portrait.
 In appreciation of Hewston's loy- atty Washington gave the sword to his friend. Since then it has. been handed down. The blade of the sword is IS inches long and the handle of fluted ivory encircled by a band of silver On the band can be traced the outlines of cross and anchor.

The Famed River Lee.

The Famed Rlver Lee. I am now far away from the home
 of my childhood, Far from the sweet spot where in boy-
 hood I played: From loved happy friends, over noun
 tains and wildwood, Through which in wild youth I oft
 carelessly strayed. How often I've plucked the wild flow
 CTS gaily growing, Like swans in the water their num-
 bers would be- I shall listen no more to the mirth
 lightly flowing In the once happy homes on the banks
 of the Lee. How clearly I see through the dim
 mists of vision, The old school surmounting the blos-
 sOm-crowned hill, The playground endeared by each
 fond recollection, At it's base gently flowing a murmur-
 ins Till. How eagerly we'd watch. the declin-
 ing sums shadow, And join in wild shouts when from
 school we were free, Or mimic the fox chase across the
 green meadows, On the flower sprinkled uplands, by
 the banks of the Lee. When we tripped to the dance with
 loves of our school days, And clasped their soft hands in each valley and dell, Mid fragrant retreats of hawthorn
 decked pathways, And breathed a short prayer at the
 old blessed we'll. When think of those days never
 more to return, When we climbed the far hill-tops in
 youths ardent glee, With comrades, alas! whom I tender
 ly mourn, I long for reunion on the banks of
 the Lee. I shall ne'er meet again in Lord Fer
 moy's demesne, Those dashing young murders, so val Disporting with all their accustomed
 wild elions, In sun- -blaZOned veStmentS of gay,
 green and gold. There shas gone from among them
 many a fond one, Exiled from his kindred by long lea
 gues of sea. Whose voice was the loudest and
 blows were the strongest In defence of the homes by the fam
 ed river Lee.
 waves of ocean, Cruel fate has decreed that I friend
 lessly roam, Not the prairies and uplands of stormy Columbia, But the den of transgression affords
 me a home. My path was once bright with the sweetest of pleasures, But now, sad remembrance, my hope cannot be, To return once more to the dearest
 of treasures.

JUNE WITH ROSES IN HER HAIR


 June, with roses in her hair,
 Climbs the mornings silver stair. June, with cherries on her lips, Through the gates of gladness trips Singing to her zithern fine Of the honeyed eglantine:
 June, the beautiful, the sweet, Flashing on her girlish feet. June. with visions in her eyes, Down the ladder of the skies Steps on roses, rung by rung, Virginal as love, and young With the laughter that she brings On her harp of magic things;
 June, the blushing maid of morn, Dancing to the fairy horn. Winter, vanish and away! Speed the heraIds of the day To salute her, where she comes, With the banners and the drums Of the woodlands and the field And the rippling rivers shield:
 June, the laughing and the wild, With the heart of little child. June, with lilies on her brow, Comes in mOrnS of music now. Fairies in her silver car Meet her, and the golden star Chants seraphic anthems there Where her pinions beat the air: June, the undiminished gleam Of loves immemorial dream

ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
Should Cheek Familiarity-But Not Be a PriC

In these days when so many girls go to business, they feel in every sense on an equality with their broth CTS or their girl friends brother. So 1t b somewhat hard to draw the line on just how a girl should conduct her self.
 How shall she properly maintain her respect, yet not be so "standoff- ish" that she will come in for the sohriQuet of ''prig?"
 Sometimes even engaged girls have written to ask me if they should al-

 Any clean minded girl knows full well whether a man is offering disre- 0pect in any advances he makes. But surely when . couple intend to marry and the young man has done the girl the honor to ask her, of all the world, to be his wife. there Is nothing moro natural or more innocent than the meeting of lips between betrothed low ere. '-r',
 The indiscriminate habit of kissing the young man who takes you to the theater or who has you out rowing iS another matter.
 Here is where the girls common sense and innate knowledge of just how far she can allow the man to be familiar, steps in. It will save her from later reproach on the part of her conscience, when she wakes up some night stricken and ashamed af her foolishnese.
 Tn office life, the liberty of speech is the greatest evil. If girl allows herself to listen to the first breach, she may expect a broader story the next time. To nip this in the bud, she should make it perfectly apparent at the outset, that while she is' no prude and does not expect a man to away his cigar. she does insist that he will not expect her to listen to any so-t of conversation or story recited that she couldn't repeat to her moth CT
 It's a pretty good rule to follow th:s of making a confdante of your mother. When yov find that you are reluctant to repeat to her what you heard during the day, or allowed to be said to you, then watch out, you are getting on the wrong track.
 Your mother may seem a little old fashioned to you at times. You may, with youthful sophistry, argue as I did, "Oh, such a thing will never hap pen to me. Mother lived in another eral am more advanced"
 Remember. however, that life is the same always human nature never varies. If you are wise enough to profit by your mothers experience, you will avoid many pitfalls.

My Home in Fermoy. There's spot far away OCT the wide
 spreading ocean, A spot which my sad heart can never forget; My Memory clings round it, so pure
 and so tender, That often it's name brings a throb
 of regret. Regret for the long-vanished days of
 my childhood, When earth was all pleasure and life
 was all joy: O could I recall those bright golden
 hours, I spent long ago at my home in Fer moy. The grand old Blackwater sweeps
 down by it's meadows, Passing silently, swiftly by dear Cas-
 tlehyde, Swift gliding on meath the ivy clad
 bridges, While peaceful and fair stands the
 town on each side. o mem'ry, your charms bind my
 heart to old Erin, Dear bondage which absence can new CT destroy, Where I ramb1ed and played by the
 banks of Blackwater, And roamed through the valleys of
 dear old Fermoy. The sun shines as bright on Queens
 Square by the river. The moon shines as bright on the green convent hill; It shines on the homes now deserted
 and lonely, Though many a memory clings round
 them still: It shines on green graves where com rades now Slumber, Whose laugh rang with pleasure III youths harmless joy, Tn adventures to reach Corrin's high summit, That stands tall and green near the town of Fermoy. It reminds me again of the bright sum- mer evenings, When I stood on the bridge viewing Funshon's dark stream. And watched the sun set OCT the dis tant blue mountains, And gazed through the trees at the silvery moons beam. Friends, happy friends, true-hearted, were near me, To soothe every sorrow, enhance ev- cry joy; Now their places are vacant, their iubilant voices Are missed from their homes in dear old Fermoy. Farewell, dear old home! but I can't say forever" For deepIin my mem'ry fond hope clingS on, That some day again I may dwell on Blackwater, And watch the sun rise OCT the hill of St. John. o. how glad were that hour, how joy ous the welcome, Though my fate has been darkened by one sad alloy, Since I wandered and played by the banks of Blackwater, And roamed through the valleys of dear old Fermoy.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW

Peony Lmncheon-A Pretty June Function-A Novel Color For the month of June there is no more easily planned or more effective function than the Peony luncheon. It can either be cal fresco," or it can be served in the cool city or coun- place, it is bound to attract attention for its infinite prettiness. What is more pleasing to the aver age hostess. is it's cheapness and easy preparation.
 Of course the peony is the color and white blooms are pressed into service. A number of other flowers could be used to produce a similar effect.
 In arranging the table, plain white china or white and gold lends itself best to the harmony of effect. In the centre of the table, place a fancy white wicker basket that has been treated to Q couple of coatings of cream white enamel or Jap a lac. In this place bad of green moss as a foundation for the peonies. They should appear to be carelessly thrust in, though of course the effect has been really carefully studied. At each plate single bloom ap- pears, the colors alternating red and white.
 The menu carries out the same which are served with other hers d'oeuvres such as olives and celery, are sliced down into petals. which are turned under, revealing a heart of white, the general impression being that of a red and white blossom.
 Tomato cups with sauce tartare produces charming color effect for the salad course These are prepared in the following manner. Wipe some ripe but firm tomatoes, take off the top, scoop out the centre, mixing it with sauce tartare. For this stir a tablespoonful of whipped cream into a gill of stiff mayonnaise. Add tea spoonful of finely chopped gherkins, capers, parsley and chopped cooked green peppers. Mix thoroughly. Re- fill the tomatoes and stand on ice un- each tomato a round slice of asplc jelly and garnish with thin slices of cucumber and lettuce leaves.
 Served with salmon they are de- lic1Ous, though they can form the salad course with saltines alone
 As the proper color accompaniment. tomato bisQue, chicken and creamed potatoes make more red and white dishes, but the piece de resistance comes with the ices.
 The hearts of as many peonies as there are guests are removed and in the space left is a mat of paper to hold the cream. In the white ones the red ones lemon ice. This same idea can be effectively carried out as well when the chrysanthemums come, using them for yellow, pink, white or variegated color luncheons.

AN OPEN LETTER
By Ezra L. Johnson, in Newtown B

By Ezra l.. Johnson, in Newtown Bee. My first thought, when I decided to write this letter. was to head it "A Letter to the Boys," then it occurred to me to look in the dictionary and see what was .Webster's definition of the word boy" for although in my 80th year, I had never looked to see what "boy'' might be. Reader! did you ever look? I find one definition of Web ster's to be "a word applied to males under ten or twelve years of age. Not wishing to confine what I may write to a class which, it is to be hoped, are still under good mothers influence and care, it is sent out as "An Open Letter. hoping it may touch chord of sympathy in those who know themselves to be earnestly try ing to make their life worth the liv- ing. and also in hopes the story may lead some wayward, shining souls to call halt in their wilful, downward course, a course if persisted in, will lead to the saloon, to whisky, rum and ruin.
 called to some verses that were print ed in one of the secular papers, that had been copied from a paper that bore the name of town in which knew was located, the States Prison. As the signature was Reg. Number
 
 verses were composed by prison convict and that the paper from which it was copied was a paper printed in the prison, made up from matter con- tributed by the prisoners. I read and re-read the verses over and over again until the tears would start in spite of myself, for it seemed that ev- cry word of every line was expressive of a tender longing for the home of his childhood from which was separat- ed not only by a broad ocean but by the bars and walls of prison as well, while along with it all seemed a sincere regret and penitence for the crime that had been committed, and back of all, the feeling the con- victs part that his punishment was just. So interested did I become in cupied my mind so much, I wrote to the Warden of the prison where I sus- pected Reg. Number 1152i was be- ing incarcerated to ascertain if could, as to whether my suspicious were we'll grounded, and if so for what crime was he committed for how long time was he sentenced and how, as to behavior and conforming to his new conditions of life and service In due course of time came this re- ply:
