Adverse to Abridsing Rights

Washington, D. C.-The trend o.
public thought in regard to sumptu-
airy legislation is ably exemplified in
the actions of legislatures now in ses-
sion all over the United States. At
the present time in thirty eight states
in the union bodies of lawmakers are
busy promulgating statutes to guide
the economic and moral destNies of
their constituents. In practically
every one of these bodies sumpthary
laws further regulating the drinking
habits of men have been defeateA
In Idaho state prohibition has BEEN
turned down. In Ohio the same
measure was defeated; in Texas they
refused to consider liquor legislation;
in Missouri the one measure passed
was that prohibiting free lunches; in
Kentucky they refused to consider
further restrictive laws; in Indiana
they decided to abide by their license
system; in South Dakota the ono
measure passed was that restricting
the saloons to one for every 600 of,
population; in Massachusetts the leg
islators threw all liquor legislatioB
into the discard; Michigan has done
likewise, and in other states they re-
fused it even to be allowed to be con-
sidered.
Thus it will be seen that the trend
of public thought is away from rath-
er than for abridging the rights and
liberties of the citizens until it inter-
feres with public progress.

WASHINGTON, May IT,. Their
patience exhausted with the refusal
of democratic senators to remain in
either the executive or the open SEES
sions to preserve quorum for APP
proving appointments and for trans
action of public business, the major
ity leaders in the upper house have
called caucus for Monday morning.
At that time, and behind locked doors
they will read the riot-act" to the
delinquents.
AS a means of insuring a quorum
with which to overcome the republi-
can opposition to some of President
Wilson's nominations, the democrats
will be called upon to abolish the pair
ing system General pairs-a demo-
crat agreeing with a republican that
they shall refrain from voting on any
matter of general party policy-have
enabled the republicans to break the
quorum in executive sessions, and
thus fii1buSter against the nominees.
Democrats might be present in num-
bers sufficient for the quorum but
when paired they could not be count
ed in the vote.
I'VE expect to agree" said Senator
Hitchcock, that none of the demCcra,

BRIGANDS IN SKIRTS.

 Grand Opera Ballet Girls.
 There are places in the world where women dress in mems clothing and men don women's apparel
 Even in Paris there are women dressed in cheap. coarse. masculine attire. working as teamsters and day laborers. While 1t is against the law the police wink at the fact and allow them to earn peaceably their daily wages.
 In Persia in some of the interio, pMrts the women wear the strangest oldest trouser garments. They seen, to like them. too. from the fact that they cling to them in spite of all eff. forts to make them don feminine at. tire.
 Then there are the Alpine dairy maids. who dress as men when they go about their work and look pretty, if we are inclined to take evidence from the numbers of men who yearly persuade them to cast of their mascu- Hne dress and put on more clingine costumes. But then their eyes are SC bright and their cheeks SO red that they couldn't really look homely in anything they might choose to wear.
 Again. far in the north. where 1t is freezing cold most of the time and people dress to be comfortable and not to look pretty. the women are actually hN {nt~ kppap t<N
 The ancient women warriors always wore trousers. But their reasons were purely military. Besides. they were half masculine in manner and appear. ance and dressed to accentuate their qualities. They had to make them selves into fierce looking creatures to terrify the men on the opposing side, and from all accounts they succeeded admirably.
 As for the stronger sex, there still seem to be men in existence who wear women's garb and enjoy it. In certain parts of Greece, Spain and Albania there are bands of desperate brigands who, when they are decked out for at. tacks on strangers or neighbors, look for all the world like grand opera bal. let girls in their short. brightly color. ed skirts, which are made very full and sometimes even rufded q bit They seem tremendously proud oi their attire, and rival bands strive to surpass each other in vividneas of pat. terms and newness of styles. - Ex. change.

STORY OF A FAMOUS SONG.

4 oismaI, Rainy Day Moved Dan em.
 met to Write Dixie"
 "Dixie" was written by Dan Emmet. both words and music. It was sung for the first tine Monday, Sept. 19, 1859. on the stage of Bryant's minstrels at 472 Broadway, New York. There has been much controversy over the question of authorship and over the music. The known history of the song has been carefully compiled by Gus tav Kobbe in his Famous American 6ongs," as follows:
 "On Saturday night Sept. IT. 1859 after the performance one of the Bry. ants told Emmet that a new walk around was wanted in time for re- hearsal on Monday. The minstrel re- piled that, while the time was very short, he would do his best. That night after he reached home he tried to hit upon some tune, but the music wouldn't come. His wife cheerily told him to wait until morning. He should have the room to himself so that he could work undisturbed, and when he had finished the walk around he could play 1t for her as a sole audience. If she liked 1t the Bryants would and so would the average listener.
 ''Next day was rainy and dismal Some years before Emmet had traveled with circus as a drummer. In winter the warm southern circuit was popu- lar route with circus people, and those who were obliged to show north would say when the cold weather would make them shiver, I wish l was in Dixie.' The phrase was. in fact, current cir GUS expression. On that dismal Sep. tember day, probably the beginning of the eQuinoctial. when Emmet stepped to the window and looked out the old longing for the pleasant south camc over him, and tnvoluntarily he thought to himself. T wish 1 was in Dixie.'
 "Ldke a dash the thought suggested the first line for walk around, and a little later the minstrel, fiddle in hand, was working out the melody which. coupled with the words. made Dixie a genuine song of the people almost from the instant 1t was nrst sun&"

 Liszt was in tho habit of smoking one cigar . day. But that one cigar was an exceedingly choice one. When he was starting on journey he told his valet how many days he would be away, and his valet put into the valise . corresponding number of those ci- gara.

The musician. with his thoughts centered on his mu- sic rather than his cigars, made aigns to the effect that he had nothing The officer opened the valise without the traveller agitatinG himself over the search.
