y had the floor in the Senate, one Of

filibuster conducted in the way peculiar
to the Idaho statesman moved an ad-
journment

burn, that you can't head me off that
way. l propose to debate this question
as I please. OF course. if you prefer to-
morrow rather than today to hear me
talk about it''-but by that time the mo-
ton to adjourn had been Withdrawn.
For the Senate realizes the quality of
the western mans determination In such
matters. Therefore, 1t appreciated by
laughter the point of Senator John Sharp
Villains remarks in his recent attempt
to secure consideration of a bill for a
Confederate naval monument In the
Vicksburg National Military Park, to
which Senator Hepburn had objected.
Referring to the struggle between the
north and the south. Senator Villa ms
said:
Had the senator from Idaho been
turned loose different story would have
been recorded. Lees genius and Stone
wall Jackson's va!or would doubtless have
gone down in very short order. l am
sure il they had consented to debate the
matter according to Senate rules and
placed the cause on the calendar. 1t
would have taken them a long time. at
any rate, to overcome the senator from
Idaho"
Senator Hepburn joined in the laughter
Of his colleagues.

ly, when we bought the present mission
lunchroOm. This meant that almost a
year must pass before We could establish
the mission restaurant and penny lunch
I'VE found many instances Of good
that the penny lunch had wrought dur
ing it's last season. and If this present
restaurant is as beneficial to the poor we
will be well satisfied. l remember the
case of one man, last year. who worked
In a laundry. His wife was dead and he
had several small children to care for.
They lived in two small rooms with al
most no facilities for housekeeping. As
the fathers wage was small, the board
of the family was a doubtful question.
He began to patrOn!ze the penny coun-
ter and soon found that at a small price
he could supply wholesome meals for his
children and himself.
Another of our most frequent patrons
was a little messenger boy who, at first
from curiosity. ordered a plate of beans.
They were SO hot and tasted so good to
him that he formed the habit of dropping
in whenever he was in the neighborhood
He finally gained the nickname of
Beans because of his never-tiring ap-
petite for them. These are only few in
stances in the life of the penny restaurant
that opens at $50 in the morning and
closes at 8 pm.

borhood send in for or 10 cents
worth Of hot coffee or a stew, and for
this latter we provide small boxes
similar to those used to carry oysters.
just recently I had occasion to visit
several homes in the immediate vicinity
of the mission, and / found that in six
of them there were no stoves for either
heating or cooking. To these people a
pot of hot coffee or bowl Of bean
soup is a Godsend.
The mission restaurant may be said
to have two divisions continued Mr..
Kline. 1.-The restaurant proper and the
penny lunch counter. There are some
ten or twelve tables provided, at which
those men are served who are able to
pay from. to 10 cents for meal. They
are generally wage earners and, no mat
ter how small the amount they make.
they have certain independence and
pride that makes them dislike to accept
anything from charity. When they sit
at the tables and pay prices that are
nearly equal to the cost Of the food, this
independence is in no way injured.
1T is my endeavor to sort out those
men who are able to pay these larger
prices from those who are not. So many
varieties of men come in that frequently

Of bean soup can be purchased, and 1t
takes no magnifying glass to find the
beans. A heaping plate of nicely cooked
hominy comes at one cent, and for the
same price may be had some bread or a
hot roll. Perhaps the baked beans are
the most popular of all the penny dishes,
for they are well seasoned with bacon or
ham and each order is generous one.

Now if man is wealthy to the extent
of 3 or cents for meal he will find
at the mission restaurant such a choice
selection of food at that price that to
show Partially to any particular dish
will become difficult. For instance, he
may have beef stew or lamb stew for
just cents. Add to that a cup of cof-
fee and a roll, each at cent a piece.
and he has for cents rather an appe-
tizing meal for hungry man. If sand
wiches are his specially he may choose
between a ham and frankfurter, paying

In addition to the wholesome food

the advantages derived from sanitary
