ECONOMY AND EXTRAVAGANCE

one may think that feeling OF
deep depression must have assalled
the congressman when it was an
nounced that President Taft, shortly
after the meeting of congress Jan.
Z would send in a message on econ
omy and efficiency. But perhaps the
general sentiment was expressed py
those who delivered themselves of
solemn and portentous wink.
Twenty years ago a political con-
yulsion was created by the first Bill
aon dollar congress" Now each
year congress gets rid of a billion
dollars. But let US not jump TO the
conclusion that the congressman are
the only persons to blame for Uncle
Sans high cost of living.
Gen. Wood, chief of staff of the
army told the appropriations commit
tee last spring, that large share OF
our army posts are needless. If war
broke out, he said, 20 per cent of the
troops would have to stay behind to
defend stations that have no military
value
But imagine the howl from the
people who sell supplies for men and
horses, should one-third of our mi
htary posts be given up, as army
officers say should be done.
A congressman is not considered
70 be thrown and branded" to use
n pIainsman's phrase, until he has
shown his willingness to help roll
the barrel. in return for his own par
kicular slice of river and harbor and
ether pork"
An illuminating incident happened
one day when a particularly indefen-
xible appropriation was being sharply
attacked. 1t seemed to be surely
beaten. when an excited congressman
vas seen rushing down the isle.
Hold on, that's my river" he
yelled. He is still in congress, saving

well known congressman opened

the Worlds Work magazine in 1910.
Here is one letter from prominent

my dear Congressman: under

request that you try to get him pen

worthless whelp and that he deserted
from the army during the war. That
Is not the point. He has worked on
the sympathies of some influential
people here. And it is good politics
20 get busy. Uncle Sam will not miss
the money" The congressman thus
addressed says he has hundreds OF
letters like the above.
All parties are responsible for the
conditions which such incidents sug-
gest. But evidently to reform the ex-

form the power that makes congress

HOME.

There's dark little flat in poor
little street
Where never a sunbeam falls
And never the patter of children's
feet.
Is heard in the dingy halls:
And never a fairy has entered there
And never a playful gnome;
The rooms are cold and the walls are
bare.
And silence broods in the dampened
But somebody calls it Home.
There's a poor title hut where the
smoke is thick
And never a blossom blows,
Where Ugh. that feeds on a greasy
wick
In the evening feebly ows,
And never an eye is gladdened there
BY picture or worthy tome;
The stove is cold and the floors are
bare,
But mother teaches her child a
prayer,
And somebody calls it Home
There's splendid palace upon a hill
Where the walls are wide and long,
Where rcysterers gather at night to
fill
The spaces with ribald song
And a., is brilliant and gorgeous there
from ce.lar to Lofty dome;
Er- aaTer ~Sil1 IA Nsrcl g prayer

TOO MUCH IMAGINATION.

H X. Adair, the well-known west

LADIES' CHOICE.

The fateful year has now arrived
when women may take the initiative
in love. 1t is a privilege won, so ira
dition says. when st. Bridget pleaded
with st. Patrick for the girls of her
charge. Patrick thought one year in
seven enough for women to have the
choosing. Fut he could not withstand
her cajoleries.
'Biddy' acushla, squeeze me that
way again, and I'll give you leap year,
the longest of the lot' were his words,
as the story books say.
And so from st. Bridget down, the
women have been able to look out
for themselves Their traditionally
passive attitude on the marriage
question is likely to be as misleading
as that of the spider about the time
the fly enters the widespread web.
These however be secrets of dark
parlors and cloistral park benches.
concerning which we know mote But
az the Leap-year dances. now in
vogue, We are glad to note that wo-
man comes publicly to her own. She
should make the most of her privi-
lege.
The unmanrerly selfishness so of
ten seen on the dance floor is very
unfair in its distribution of favors at
other times. Frilly, fluffy, flower
faced debutantes are surrounded with
suitors knee deep. Meanwhile sager
damsels guilty of more years and dis
cretion. often very rhythmic and
graceful dancers, remain mere wall
flowers.
Although the ballroom is suppose1
to display the elimination of the finer
graces of etiquet, yet beneath the
veneer of low bows and wide smirks,
mankind shows up as a pretty self
ish beast. He rarely looks about him
to see which of his friends is beg
ging for few crumbs of notice, but
instead hies him to his favorites of
fashion who fare sumptuously on
their superfluity of invitations.
1t IS often asked why married peo-
pie drop out so quickly from the
dancing crowd. One reason is that
many digniEed girls find the neces-
sary campaign of coquetteries .abas-
ing themselves to win Invitations from
men they don't care for, to be too
much of a bore. As heavy penalties
are visited on women for the sin Of
being flair and forty" the privilege

extended beyond the Leap-year if
people are to keep dancing until the

WILLING TO KEEP HER.

Edgar, who had in his prisons been

brother was sent a few evenings ago
to visit his grandparents. When he
returned home on the following morn
ing he was informed that the stork

To begin with, It Is of the ut
most importance that the hands
should be kept Immediately
clean. You cannot scrub aud
scour them too much.
The next thing for you to do Is
to dry the hands. This is some
thing most women fail to do. Yes,
know you think you dry them,
but in nine cases out of ten a
great deal of moisture remains
on the skin.
No woman in her right mind
likes to possess knuckle and
wrist bones with hardly shred

The southern way of procuring
plump hands is to soak them for
6 minutes in a bowlful of water
as hot as can be endured. When
the time Is over the hands must be
taken out of the steaming water
and put In cream bath.

them there ten minutes. On no
account bend over.
