And II Ia also asserted that there
and senate. The latter body keeps
its decks pretty we'll cleared but the
eongested condition in the house for
Q time threatened serious delay for
the senate bills. This, however, was
nSet by a purpose in the house to
Set the senate bills out Of the way
- rapidly as possible while In no
way jsapordizins the more important
House measures.
There was a time when II was
feared that the rush In the house
would prevent nnal action on some
q the important senate bills, and in
view Of this movement was made
10 reconsider the concurrent resolu-
Mon fixing the 25th as the date of
adjournment and having 1t lie on the
ct any time and an extension OF time
forced. II was found, however, that
this was unnecessary after Lieu
tepant-Governor Ross and Speaker
Cdrrie had a conference and agreed
TO a systematic procedure to facili-
tate the work. The result was a
cSnelusion that the work Of the legis-
lRturs could be finished within the
tlme prescribed.
No Sign of Special Session.
There has been persistent talk OF
a special session, but this has been
dissipated by an emphatic statement
from Governor Ferris that he had
had no thought of such move and
none was authorized to suggest that
a special session was a probability
At several public gatherings the gov
ernor had remarked that should the
legislature not pass a primary law
that would meet with the popular
demand and which all parties were
pledged to, he would feel justified in
calling special session. The pas
sage of the James bill wiped out all
danger OF a special session as IL is
said to meet with the Endorsement
Of the governor, which is self-evident
rs the bill has not received his veto
Lobbyists Barred.
Both houses abolished the annoy
ances of lobbyists by enforcing the
floor rules, so that during the past
week there has been little fault to
find in that regard, the members be-
ing able to devote their entire time
to real work without the interruption
Of visitors Of doubtful purpose. One
effect OF the congestion of business
has been to eliminate oratory in both
houses.
Jensen Private Bank Bill Wins.
One Of the most earnest speeches
in the house this session was that
Of Representative Jensen. OF Escana-
ba, who fought hard for his bill regu-
lating private banks. He was bitter
ly opposed by private banking inter.
ssts but after q valiant struggle he
succeeded In pulling his bill through
although its fate was seriously
threatened. He plead courageously
for the small bankers and his argu.
nents found q responsive chord.

Lansing, Mich, April 22.-With
less than a week for actual lawmak-
ing ahead of them the representa-
tiyes and senators are plunged in a
deluge of legislative work that will
require a steady grind up to the
last minute of the time limit fixed
for adjournment. Never in the his
tory of Michigan legislatures has
there been such a quantity of work
ahead to be accomplished within a
given time; and it is declared by
older members of both houses that
the legislature is making a record
in disposing of the vast amount Of
work before them. Charles S. Pierce,
veteran among the Legislators, de-
clares that last Wednesday was a
record breaker in the house for a sin

HOROSCOPE
JUNE 81.

This IS the last birth date coming
under the sign of Gemini, and gov
erned by the planet Mercury.
Many of the extreme faults and ex-
trcme strong characteristics of this
nativity are already modified by the
influence of the planet governing the
incoming nativity which opens to-
morrow and closes again on July %.
Children born on this birth date
must be governed with great care and
understanding.
They should be kept calm and quiet
and never frightened or excited. as
this Is most dangerous and produces
mental and nervous shocks from
which these sensitive children seldom
recover.
These children are very susceptible
to love and kindness and easily con-
trolled by reason.

There came into the Office OF q
western lawyer a man who was ex.
cited because his wife had left him,
and he feared she would run him into
debt all over the country.
I'm that case," said the lawyer,
you had better post her."
His client, not knowing what post
ing meant, said he did not know where
she had gone, and besides, she was
fully as strong as he, and he did not
believe he was able to post her. The
attorney explained that he meant put
ting notice in the newspapers say
ing: Whereas, my wife Helen has

New Idea That Seems at Glance
Should Be of Extreme
Usefulness.

What looks like a good suggestion
is a device which consists of SOUND
magnifying trumpet of f1attened form,
similar to certain types or motor
horns, behind WHICH is platform
adapted to support the telephone re-
ceiver. Upon receiE:ng or making
call upon the phone and being asked
to ''hold the line," the user, instead
of holding on" with the telephone re-
ceiver pressed to his ear, an arrange
ment which restricts his movements
and prevents him from giving his at
tention to any other matter, merely
drops the receiver onto the platform
of the "time saver" where 1t auto
matically slides into position with the
earpiece against the small end OF the
spiral trumpet. The user is then free
to go on with his work until the voice
from the trumpet shows him that the
person at the other end is speaking.
Conversation can then either be car
ried on using the loud-speaking trum-
pet. with the advantage of leaving the
users hands both free for the purpose
of turning up references, taking down
a message from dictation, etc., or the
receiver may be lifted off the instru-
ment and used in the ordinary way.
The loud speaking telephones voice"
is very similar to that of gramo-
phone, and it is thus possible for the
user of one of these instruments to
move some little way from the tele-
phone and yet hear when the person
AZ the other end of the line is speak

The following story is one Of John
Drew's favorites.
A man lost his life in great flood.
He was dead, but in the spirit world
he lived over and over again the APP
palling scenes and incidents through
which he had just passed 1t seemed
to him that he must talk 1t over with
some one.
He therefore approached an elder
ly man and told him the story Of how
he died, giving vivid word picture
and making lurid tale. To his great
surprise, the old man showed little
interest; in fact, he appeared to be
bored. At last, being rather annoyed
at such Indifference, he asked The
reason.
Don't you know who ! ann" asked
the other.

lime Is Sometimes Kind.

Father Time is not always a hard
parent, and, though he tarries for
none OF his children, often lays his
hand lightly upon those who have
used him well, making them old men
and women inexorably enough, but
leaving their hearts and spirits young
and in full vigor. With such people
the gray head is but the impression
of the old fellows hand in giving
them his blessing, and every wrinkle
but notch In the quiet calendar
of a well-spent life.-From Barnaby

CHAPTER w.
Sweet Little Miss Clarke.

Sweet Little Miss Clarke.
When we took our seats at the
breakfast-table, it was with the feel
ing of being no longer looked upon
as connected in any way with this
case Yet our interest in it was, if
anything, increased, and when l saw
George casting furtive chances at a
certain table behind me, l leaned over
and asked him the reason, being sure
that the people whose faces | saw
reflected in the mirror directly before
us had something to do with the
great matter then engrossing us.
His answer conveyed the somewhat
exciting information that the four
persons seated in my rear were the
same four who had been reading at
the round able in the mezzanine at
the time of Miss Challoner's death.
Instantly they absorbed all my at
tention, though 1 dared not give them
direct look, and continued to OBJ
serve them only in the glass.
is it one family?" l asked.
Yes, and very respectable one.
Transients, of course, but very well
known in Denver. The lady is not
the mother of the boys. but their
aunt. The boys Belong to the gen.
tleman, who is a widower."
Their word ought to be good"
George nodded.
'The boys look wide-awake enough
if the father does not. AS for the
aunt, she is sweetness itself Do
they still insist that Miss Challoner
was the only person in the room
with them at this timer"
''They did last night. l don't know
how they will meet this statement OF
the Doctors"
"George?"
He leaned nearer.
"Have you ever thought that she
might have been a suicide? That she
stabbed herself?"
mo, for in that case weapon
would have been found"
"And are you sure that none WASP
Positive. Such fact could not
have been kept quiet. If a weapon
ha@ been picked up there would be
no mystery, and no necessity for
further police investigation"
And the detectives are still here?"
II just saw one"
"George?"
Again his head came nearer.
Have they searched tho lobbyf
believe she had weapon"
'Laura!"
81 know it sounds foolish, but the
alternative is so improbable. A fam
lily like that cannot be leagued to-
gether in a conspiracy to hide the
truth concerning a matter so serious.
To be sure, they may all be short
sighted, or so little given to observa-
ticn that they didn't see what passed
before their eyes. The boys look wide.
awake enough, but who can tell?
would sooner believe that"
l stopped short so suddenly that
George looked startled. My attention
had been caught by something new
1 saw in the mirror upon which my
attention was fixed. A man was look
ing in from the corridor behind, at
the four persons we were jus: dis
cussing. He was watching them in
tently, and l thought l knew his
face.
