DINNER STORIES.

stopping at an uptown hotel came
downstairs early yesterday with his

As there is only one hotel in New

What time have you now ?"
Just 1925, and it would be impos-

The night clerk yawned and glanced
at the clock.
If you will hurry back up to your

to be called he said. ut is just
6:25"
The Englfshman looked at the
clock, glanced again at his watch, put

the clerk again. Then he made a
spring in the direction of the eleva-

Henry Clay Ide. our minister to
Spain," said a Washington official,
gets on we'll in Madrid because ne
has a great affection for the Spanish
people.
Mr.. Ide, while no champion of the
bull fight, hates to hear the Spaniards
abused for cruelty on this head.
He tells an anecdote of a Spaniard
travelling from San Sebastian to BIZ
arritz in a first-cIass compartment
with an American.
You Spaniards are great ma
ton, the American said, but 1 can
understand how a nation that produc-
ed Velasquez and Valdez can stomach
the savage cruelty of the bull fight.
THE Spaniard rolled his black eyes
at this, emitted a great cloud of Gig
arctic smoke, and said:
You have in America a number
of societies for the prevention of
cruelty to children, believer
Yes
And they do good work p
oh, splendid work.
Now the Spaniard showed his
white teeth in smile.
Well, senior, such societies would
be useless in my country he said.
The man who would lift his nand

born in Spain -

 MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE
 TO SENATOR LEROY PERCY
Charges That Senator Has Now Foreswon Himself and By Plea of Confession and Avoidance Repudiated His Own
 Unsolicited Promise to Resign"

httingly misrepresents," and charges that the senator has now foresworn himself and by a plea of confession and avoidance, repudiated his own un- solicited promises to resign, as afore- said, and has declared his intention of retaining his seat in the United States Senate. in defiance of the will of the people and in brazen disregard of their desire so emphatically expressed at the polls"
 As requested by Senator Percy, sne resolution says further, his reply would be spread in full upon the journal of the senate, mot that it deserves any recognition whatsoever by this body, for it merits none, but to preserve that same in permanent and authoritative form to end the unparalleled spectacle of a Mississlppian representing his state in the greatest deliberative body in the world not only refusing the fulfillment of a solemn promise made to the peo- pie but grossly and unwarrantedly in sultng the legislature of his native state and thousands of its splendid cit | izens"
 In conclusion the secretary of the senate is instructed to send a copy of the resolution to Senator Percy. that he be requested to have the resolution made part or the Congressional Rec ord and should he not follow the sug- gestion. instructions are given that q thousand copies be printed and mailed
 to members of the United States Sen ate.
 The resolution was adopted by a vote of 27 to II, after a substitute request ing the United States Senate to in vestigate, through the proper commit
 tee, the charges as to the honesty and
 election of Senator Percy and the charges as to the embezzlement of trus; funds by Mir Nardaman, which was voted down. r.
