Tamo Ohara, their Japanese butler,
who had ben discharged earlier in
the day. With four other fellow jap
anese the butler had taken possession
of the house just as the Presbyterians
we're leaving the service at the
church. The members of the congre'

help found the Japanese too much for
them.
Three policemen, one an expert
enced wrestler, were also all thrown
out by the discharged butler, who EN-.
ployed jiu-jitsu tricks, before he was
arrested His four confederates es'
capped. Furniture and bric-a-brac in

penohscot,s Tribal FLAG.

Prof. F. G. Speck of the University
of Pennsylvania says: ut is matter
of interest to note that the Penob-
scots have tribal flag. While all the
tribes of American aborigines have
not a national emblem, quite a few
have, and the Penobscot flag is one of
the most beautiful 1t consists OF
pure white background, on which Is
a red pyramid surmounted by red
cross. At each point of the cross is
a star of the same color. The idea
and form of the flag we're given to the
tribe several hundred years ago by
the Jesuit missionaries, who we're the
first white men to visit the Penob-
scots. 1t has religious significance
and it is used on festive and ceremo-
NAL occasions. A huge flag was flown
from the flagpole before the town
hall during the recent inauguration.

young widow. On June Is, 1852, she
was on her way to the Ascot races.
She was passing through Windsor
park alone when she met the young
prince. Rhe had reached England
the day before from tour of the
Holy Land. The prince fell in love
with her at first sight. She did not
go to the races at all. He took her
away.
MY mother was a Quakeress, and
she felt that it was a spiritual mar
riage. But the time came when he
told her he could not acknowledge her
as his wife because he was the Prince
of Wales. She wept, and he gave her
handkerchief to wipe away her
tears"
Colpus produced handkerchief,

leaf shamrocks. He said it was pre-

FAST SPEAKERS IN CONGRESS
Fifty Men in the House Nearly Ex-
coed the Speed Limit that
Has Been Set.

Whether it is due to the speed mania
of the age or something else, accord
ing to the dean of the reportorial
corps of the national house OF repre-
sentatives, members of the lower
house of congress have increased the
average speed at which they talk ap-
proximately % per cent, says Har-
per's Weekly This does not mean
that the maximum speed limit has
been increased, but fully so men in
the house now talk at high rate or
speed where one reached the maxi
mum a few years ago. Four or nve
years ago there were only two or
three members who talked SO rapidly
that the stenographers had to utilize
their best efforts to keep up with them.
Former Congressman Charles Little
field of Maine had the reputation OF
being the fastest and steadiest talker
in the house four years ago. His aver
age for four hours on one occasion
was 1876 words a minute, rate that
would make even some of the profes-
sionaI reporters scatter ink for yards
around. Until Mr. Littlefield entered
congress the record was held by Hen
ry U. Johnson of Indiana. This man
talked so fast that it was necessary
to use a double check for accuracy
that is, two stenographers taking him
at the same time. 1t is said that there
was much rejoicing among the
stenographers when Mr.. Johnson fail
ed of reelection. But in the present
congress there are several men who
talk almost as fast as did Mr.. Johnson
of Indiana Notable among these are
Mr.. Martin of South Dakota and Mr.
Murray of Massachusetts. There are
others who exceed Mr.. Littlet1eld
best. The relief comes to the report
ers, however, in the slow drawl of the
southern representatives, some OF
whom speak as slowly as 80 words
minute.

What Had the Mule to Say.

A certain amount of trouble is q
good thing.
Lincoln used to illustrate the point
with a story about "chin-fy."
1t seems that once man was plow'
ing with very lazy mule. Suddenly
the mule lifted its head, switched its
stump of a tail and went across the
field at rapid walk and with most IN
usual energy.
Reaching the end of the row, there
was a man on the fence. When the
mule and man came up the fellow got
down, walked over to the mule and
hit him a slap on the jaw, at the same
time remarking, We'll, killed him
that time!"
"Killed what?"
why, that chin-ay."
well, you interfering fool, I wish
you would mind your own business!
That chin-fly was the only thing that
made this mule go!"-Judge.

OLD GAMBLER QUITS

Once he bet friend that the latter
could not go from Halsted street to
Dublin, Ireland, in a week. The bet
was $1,000. The man made the time
and sent OLeary a two-word cable
gram-"You lose" O'Leary cabled
the money.
There have been rare occasions
when O'Leary was accused of tricky
gambling. He disproved the charges.
Most of the big gamblers knew
O'Leary's reputation for squareness.
And the result was that when they
wanted to make unusually big wagers
they came to Chicago from all parts
of the country to do it.
