tanned THE MONARCH
The Part a Silver lnkstand Played in a
National Crisis.

The Part a Silver lnkstand Played IN
National Crisis.
The pages Of history record many
instances in which trivial incidents
have shaped the destinies Of nations.
According to a story in the New York
Tribune, a small silver inkstand and
the quick wit Of prime minister once
played an important part in the history
of the Netherlands.
William III. king Of the Netherlands
was a man Of violent and ungovernable
temper. Although in general, clever
statesman, he was inclined, for some
reason or other, to involve Holland In
the trouble that was brewing between
France and Germany In 1870. He was
deaf to the appeals Of his ministers
who foresaw the ruin to the country
that war would bring.
Thorbecke, the prime minister. re-
solved to make one last attempt 10
change his majesty's resolution. On en-
tering the royal presence Thorbecke
was greeted with rougn Goou IiofH
ing! What's the news?"
Nothing particular, your majesty
Only the people of the Hague are talk
ing a great deal Of nonsense about your
majesty.
About me-" exclaimed the monarch
In wrath. What do they say about
me"
well, sir" answered the old states
man, 1.-The Haguers declare that your
majesty has boone stark, staring
mad!" Before he could utter another
word King William, his face purple
with fury, jumped up and seized a
heavy silver inkstand with the inten-
ton of hurting it at the head of the
premier. Fortunately a projecting an
gle of the inkstand caught in the table,
cloth and dragged 1t off the table with
everything upon 1t. In the confusion
the discharge Of the missile was delayed
for a moment.
Sire" exclaimed Thorbecke quietly
'if your majesty hurls that beautiful
inkstand at my head The Haguers Will
have much reason for their assertion!
For a minute the angry king gaZed
in silence at his minister. Then he
gradually lowered his arm and replac-
ed the inkstand on the table. He walk
ed to one of the windows and stood
looking out for few minutes. Return
ing to the table, he resumed his seat
and said, as If nothing had happened:
And now tell me what you have go'
to say"
An hour later, when the statesman
left, he carried with him the monarch's
promise to issue a proclamation thai
would declare the neutrality or Hol'
land.

CONGRESS ON "HALF TIME"
Since 1889 Legislators Have Spent Sc
Years in Session.

Congress is in session all the time.
We never get a chance to do anything
else; never a chance for vacation.
All, for the good old days when con-
gress adjourned early and"
This is familiar talk in Washington.
1t is a frequent plant, especially OF
secretaries, and Is not infrequent
among members themselves.
The impression arises perhaps, from
the record performances of congress
during the Taft administration, when
1t was in session s35 days during the en-
tire four years. During the first Roose-
Welt administration congress spent rel
atively little time on the job. During
the second Roosevelt administration 1t
was in session only 567 days, and dur
ing the previous four years only 572
days Congress came within 200 days
of putting in as much time during the

Taft administration as during the en-

tion of office.

Taft administration as during the en-.
tire eight years preceding his assump'
ton of office.
While the contrast may give rise tt
the complaint among congressman and
their employees that they are workine
too hard and too long, the history ol
congress as whole does not indicate
that 1t Is setting a new record or work
ing more days in the year than has
been the practice since the foundation
Of the government, says the Washing
ton Herald.
or tie 124 years between March 4
1883, and March I, 1918, congress has
spent Sc years, 8 months and 15 days in
actual session. This is. on an average
very nearly half of the time.
During Washington's first admins
tration, when the government was IN
the making and the foundation was be-
ing laid for the huge Legislative struc-
ture that has since risen, there was one
special session of congress and the
members spent S35 days altogether in
session out Of the. 1850 days which COM
prised the first administration.
During Lincoln's first administration,
when the United States was involved
in most serious conflict, congress spent
only 565 days in session.
Including special sessions and regu-
lar sessions. congress has worked an
average Of 146 days to the session. If
this average is to be maintained dur
ing the present special session congress
viii not adjourn before October /. With
a tariff bill to complete and currency
legislation hanging on the horizon like
an ominous cloud, congress bids fair to
exceed this average, however.
Although congress put In more time
at legislation during the Taft admins
tration than ever before, It did not set
a new record for. the length Of any one
term. A record was hung up nearly a
half century ago which promises to
stand for years to come. From De-
CciuuCI 1OO4p W 3NoNOihbSh Az, AoVof
when the reconstruction Of the south
ern states and the rehabilitation Of
commerce in the north were engaging
the attention of statesmen, congress
was held In session for 345 days. II
was only twenty days short Of an en-
tire year.
In 1887 a 321-day session was held.
In 1889, when the regular long session
was on the calendar. congress again
tried to make record. remaining in
session 304 days. Beginning December
8, 1s4s, congress remained at work 3o2
days. These four sessions are the only
ones which have exceeded 500 days in
length. Consequently the present ses-
sion of the national law making body.
even II It continues at work until the
day before the next regular session In
December, cannot break into the class
OF lengthy sessions.

"Find itI" he cried. "Aurlie, It's
here!"
"You understand" she answered
and settled back on the cushion with
another luxuriant sigh.
The two men left her at the hotel
She had curious, shy, studied sweet
ness for them both in her parting
that left them silent as the cab rat
tied away to the railroad station
through the dreary after-midnight
streets. Once, passing corner
lamp, Curran saw Harlan's face turn
ed to him, calm, hard, victorious.
The elder man could not repress
his cry. i
Damn you, Harlan! You came
here doubling her. and never doubt
ed her. She's good-good-always
good!" ..lsr. .f .as *;
II know. Because she loved me
after all. That held her good through
|all this life-the notoriety and glitter
because she loves me, Wiley!"
The other man could not answer.
His cry now was to his own heart.
He seemed battling to evade some in
effable self f-pathos that would find its
way. Harlan-always to Harlan, life
brought the best without price, with
out struggle. p. aI -
He would say no more. When
they were in the smoking-room of
the Pullman they were again silent;
and when Harlan had gone to his
berth, Curran went forward through
the train seeking an open platform.
He wanted the open, the stars and
|freedom-he must have air. He
found an unclosed vestibule and sat
staring out at the night, the black Of
the prairie Midlands, with far Off the
lsiiken veil of the city flung luminous
against the sky.
"oh, well!" He tried to reason.
"The boy-he loves her, after all.
And all the years he's been first with
me-first in everything" He could
not grasp his sense Of fatherhood,
tender. mystic, encompassing. for
Harlan. Yet always 1t had been So
this friendship that he had held so
beautiful, so true. Then Aurelie had
come to lay finger laughingly against
this faith. To dazzle him-to bring
the hurt to Harlan's eyes, and in
'explicable rebellion to his own.
"Eh, well-those children" He
rose, signing. ITS for me to play the
man at last! God bless them! love

He went back defying his rebel

which had made the long years sweet

gles A faint smile came to his lips
at the suggestion that he loved

he had said long ago.

Much Of it Hinged Around One Famous
Old charaefar

Much or lt 6tnSeo Arouho Ono Famous
Old Character. 49,. 4
Turkish anecdotes are very short,
and most of them cluster about q
worthy who Is said to have lived In
the fourteenth century. and whose
tombstone is pointed out in Konia.
He was a teacher, or hodja, called
Nasr Eddin Hodja. He seems to
have had two distinct personalities,
judging from the stories; for one
set make him appear shrewd, crafty
and even wise, and the other set stu
pid and foolish. Let's look first at
some of the stupid stories.
One day Nasr Eddin Hodja said to
his wife, Tomorrow, IL 1t is pleasant,
I shall work In the garden; but II 1t
is unpleasant, shall work in the
house." His wife added, piously.
"inshallah!" that is. "If God Wills"
He replied, obstinately, mo, Allah
has nothing to do with 1t. 1t must
be either pleasant or unpleasant. II
1t is pleasant, ! will work in the gar
den; and II 1t is unpleasant I will
work In the house." His wife shook
her head at this impiety, but said
nothing more. That night party
of soldiers came and took Nasr Eddin
Hodja away to work for them.
It was a pleasant day, but he did
not work in the garden. When he
got through his work he went sadly
home, and his wife being abed, he
knocked at the door Who's thereT'
she cried. Its your husband, in
shallah," replied meek voice. mo,
my husband never says inshallah,"
she replied, and turning on her ear,
went to sleep. .r
Another time Nasr Eddin Hodja
cried to his wife, "Wife, wife, come
here! the moon has fallen into the
we'll" She rushed to the well and
looked down and, sure enough, the
moon was floating on the water.
I'VE must get it out" said the hodja;
bring me a rope and hook" So she
brought them and they let them into
the we'll. The hook caught on
stone, and Nasr Eddin and his wife
pulled and pulled. Suddenly the
stone gave way and the two fell fiat
on their backs. AS they lay there the
hodja cried, "See, wife. we have put
It back again." and sure enough,
there was the moon once more in the
sky.
All Ottomans, whether Turks, Ar
menians or Macedonians, tell these
stories with infinite relish and never
seem to tire Of them. Here Is another
popular one:
One day Nasr Eddin Hodja was
sitting on the branch he was saving
off the limb. A passer-by called 70
him, Look out! You'll fall" Tne
hodja paid no attention, but went on
saving and, when the limb fell, ne
fell with it. Jumping up, he ran
after the man and said, please tell
me when shall I die" The man re-
piled, do I know?" Nasr Eddin
said. But you prophesied that I wouio
fall; now prophesy when 1 shall Ole.
OF the anecdotes Of the stupio
hodta. the following has delicious
Irish flavor:
One night Nasr Eddin Hod)a
thought he saw a burglar in his
room, and shot at him. In the morn
ing he found that he had sent an ar
row through his own shirt, whicf
hung in the window. Failing on NIL
knees, he prayed fervently, Il thanf
thee, Allah, that I was not In tina

SPORTING COMMENT
HERE is going to be a mighty

THERE is going to be a mighty
injection of pep and ginger
in that team of Mr.. Ebbets' next
season, The accession of Wilbert
Robinson one of the real brainy
veterans of the game. will mean
much to the Brooklyn Dodgers in
the spring and summer and If Bill
Dahlen's charges are not ham
mered and pounded into some
thing that Is mighty close to a
championship aggregation then
there Is nothing much in having
dashing, brainy man at the head
of things, For Robby Is all of
that and then some.
THE strange part of this seIec-
tion by Mr.. Ebbets is the fact
that nobody ever thought before
of giving this famous old catcher
a chance to handle some major
league team. He comes of the
right school, the kind of educa-
ton that he received in his hey
dey of playing making for a man
ager OF high skill and force Rob
inson was o-conspirator with
Hughey Jennings, John j. Nc
Graw and others on the old Bal
timore orioles when that famous
gang was wont to sail through
the National League circuit
breaking up games and teams
right and left. If he applies the
same methods to the Dodgers as
McGraw does to the Giants, why
not some ball team? There isn't

Maroons in Title
Game With Badgers

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.--The closing
day Of the Middle Western confer
ence football season finds Chicago
prepared to hold it's title Of champion
against Wisconsin's 1912 champion
team. The warriors directed thro ugh
year without defeat by Coach 81 agg
has the advantage of playing on their
own field against the visiting Badgers,
and clean victory for Chicago is
looked for. Wisconsin, even if de-
feated, will end the season in third
place. Minnesota, defeated only by
Chicago this season, occupies second
place.
The Minnesota men to-day are ex-
pected to win their game with ILL
nois at Urbana. The other confer
ence games scheduled for the last
playing day are Indiana and Purdue
at Bloomington and Ohio State
against Northwestern at Columbus.
