holds out some hope that the SEES
sions of the General Assembly may
be shorter in the future because OF
the law, introduced by Mr.. Hewitt
OF Plainfield. which would provide
q new method of introducing bills.
Senator Darling discusses II like
this: There has been one cause
(of delay for which there will be
less excuse hereafter-the delay in
the introduction of bills; and in the
writer's judgment one of the most
important acts of the session. in the
money-saving line. is the law Great
ing a permanent department for the
drafting and revision OF bills. I'm
der this law, board of revisers Of
bills will be in session at Montpelier
for about month before each SEES
sion. To these revisers the men,
bers-elect can send their proposed
bills before the session actually be-
gins, so that as soon as the bodies
are organized and the committees APP
pointed. it is fair to suppose that
several hundred bills will be ready
for consideration and action. The
time for the introduction of bills af-
ter session begins may hereafter be
limited to two or three weeks"
II is possible for something like
what Senator Darling outlines TO ma
terialize, but the state will wait until
1t happens before it will hope too
strongly that this may tend to short
en- the legislative sessions. The

THE DIARY or A BoNEHEAD

THE DIARY OF A BONEHEAD
Yesterday was a great day In The
history of our family, veritabfs
humdinger of an occasion. A shiny
gentleman in a Prince Albert coat
and a white lawn tie appeared and
paid him the last instalment on the
encyclopedia which I bargained for
shortly before the Spanish-American
War. We had been looking forward
to this day for a long time. 1t vas
our emancipation day, after fifteen
years of servitude.
I hadn't turned my head to look
around in fifteen years but the shiny
gentleman was at my elbow to pre-
sent his little yellow slip and inform
me that the instalment was due.
We used to want things terribly
but the wife would always say 1--WE
can't buy that now for our encyclo-
pedia instalment is due" We post
poned the purchase of about 1000
things until the day Of our enamel
patton from the shiny gentleman
should arrive.
We spent many nights under the
parlor lamp figuring what we would
do with our money when the shiny
gentleman should cease to cali.
OF course, 1 am not knocking the
encyclopedia. It was a good en-
encyclopedia In it's way and very USE
full to throw at cats, prop UP win
dows and to place IN chairs for small
relatives at Thanksgiving time, but
there were times when 1t seemed as
80
things than encyclopedias with
somewhat of relish.
Among the things we figured on
We're an automobile, q trip to Eu-
rope and house and lot of our own.
We knew that we could never have
these things while paying for the en-
cyclopedia. for every time we saved
up s1.6o the shiny gentleman touched
me quietly and gently on the elbow
and held up the yellow slip.
That encyclopedia developed into
a mania. an obsession in fact, and We
hadn't had time to read far enough
into it to find out how to take the
! grass stains out of white duck trout
sers or whether it was julius Ceasar
or A. l.. Erlanger who swan the
Hellespont. My wife looked In it
once to find out how to remove the
top from a glass fruit jar and while
she was looking 1t up. the collector
called three times for the install
ments.
| Last night was a gala night and
we had little dinner party to cele-
brate our freedom.
This morning when [ got to my
| office, I found my old friend the shiny
gentleman with set of books writ
ten by a man I had never heard OF.
1t was called Compendium of Uni
versal knowledge" My impulse to
kick him downstairs was halted by
one glance from his baleful eye. He
told me he wanted me to buy the
books because of my prominence in
the community and would make me
q special rate so that he could use
my name as an advertisement. He
flattered my vanity until | thought
was a de luxe edition of John ID
Rockefeller, Pierpont Morgan and
Woodrow Wilson combined and rolled
into one.

Elizabeth is the daughter of Charles
Theodore of Bavaria. the famous
royal oculist. with whom Elizabeth
used to work in his free treatment of
the poor of Bavaria. Three years ago
she married Albert, heir apparent of
the Belgian throne. and nephew Of
the then reigning King Leopold, who
had the undisputed reputation of be-
Ing the meanest. the cruelest, and the
most immoral king in Europe. The
Belgian people had grown weary of
kings and 1t is said that had Leo
pold lived five years longer the estab-
lishment of a Belgian republic would
have been secured.
A difficult task awaited the new
king and queen, Albert and Elizabeth,
therefore, when they came TO the
throne four years ago. They had to
live down the scandals and cruelties
of their predecessor and had also To
regain the confidence of the people.
Both these things Albert, with the
aid of his accomplished wife, has
achieved. They have, from the first.

The man who lets his dislike out
weigh his likes makes good the OLD
superstition of the devil ridden. He
is his own god of misfortune. The
poor. twisted ego that abides in his
Uranium is a malevolent fate that
damns its possessor by turning the
world into a topsy-turvy of vicious
ness. His moral retina takes no ac-
count of the sweet, the beautiful and
the good He is actually blind to all
save that which annoys him. A ply
stefan would diagnose his case as a
species Of insanity-and so it Is, a
very insdious but none the less gem
time and fearful madness.
The beginning Of such a ones I'M
doing is matter of habit. One may
give way to irritation too often, may
tee often surrender to melancholy
may even indulge i'm pettish pessi-
nisrn until all the world becomes an
ovoso.e and all mankind become enc
mics.
All this is a perversion of the
healthy function of dislike. Generally
speaking, our antipathies are useful
10 us. II we guard them carefully
they in turn guard us. The save as

however. they very effectively poison
our atmosphere, warp our Judgment
