Irreverent Senate PAGES.

During the brief opening prayer of
the chaplain, says Fred c. Kelly, in
an article on the senate, in Harper's
Weekly, it may be noted that no two
senators behave exactly alike. Sen
ator Stephenson leans over and grasps
his desk by the front corners and
steers it carefully through the inno-
walton. Senator Smith of Michigan
places his finger tips gently yet firmly
on the back of his chair, and Senator
Bristow Jays his palms fiat on his
desk as If about to turn handspring.
The little page boys with bowed heads
range themselves in a semi-ciTcle
against the front desks and look so
guileless and innocent that one would
scarcely suspect the ruthless manner
in which they have nicknamed prac-
tically every senator on the floor. Mr..
Meyers Of Montana and Mr. Simmons
of North Carolina are known as Mutt
and Jeff, Mr.. Pomerene of Ohio, they
call the Madonna, because of his sad,
earnest face; Senator DUPONT is
Gloomy Gus, and Reed Smoot is Lord
Longbow.

Hiuhest Paid NAVY.

The United States navy, which has
been deprived OF all intoxicating
liquors. is the most highly paid of the
worlds navies. An American admiral
draws $4,000 a year, as compared
with 1880 allotted to the same rank
in Great Britain, and 5000 In Ger
many; and all the other grades Of
officers are equally well paid in pro-
portion, remarks the London Chron-
icle Even on the lower deck 1t is
possible to draw pay amounting to
ESQ month and every sailor after
ten years service, Is entitled to sub
stantial pension for life There is no
need to become an American citizen
before enlisting. According to re-
turn issued two years ago, the United
States navy then contained 636 Ger
mans, 435 Irishmen, 294 Swedes, 236
Englishmen, 232 Chinese and 214 jap
anese, besides 2,875 foreigners who
had taken naturalization papers,

Hatched by Water Bottle,

Mrs. w. H. Cross of Salem, Ore,
had setting of eggs from fine vari-
ETY. Of chickens. So happy was she in
their possession that she all but count
ed the chicks before they were
Matched. She was equally downcast,
naturally, when the hen, after u days
of careful setting, deserted the nest.
Mrs. Cross found the eggs before
they became chilled and placed them
in box behind the stove in her liv-
ing room. Then she pondered quick
ly, for she was determined not to lose
the chickens, and the problem was
solved.
The hot-water bottle was requisi-
toned as a substitute for the recre-
ant hen. 1t was filled with tepid wa
ter and placed over the eggs.
Then Mrs. Cross conferred with her
family physician regarding the tenn
perature at which the water should
be kept. She followed instructions
to the letter, with the result that six
chickens were Matched from the orig
inal 10.

Guarding The Canal.

A private letter which l received
from a regular army officer at Panama
shows what extreme precautions are
being taken to prevent damage to the
canal
This officer is at one uf the locks on
guard duty, with a company Of troops.
Twenty-six soldiers, with an officer, go
upon the locks at 6:45 o'clock in the
morning and remain there constantly
for twentyfour hours.
There is no sleep for any one. Then
another detail of twenty-six men and
an officer come to the relief.
OF the LOO workmen still engaged
in the locks nearly all are black, ao-
cording to my correspondent. They
are now kept under constant watch,
to see that no Mexican sympathizer
plants bomb that would blow up the
works.
After the workmen quit at o'clock
in the afternoon, no person is allowed
to approach the locks or canal works.

LAY CLAIM 70 SPlTzBERGEN
'7sooodys Island" Has Valuable Coal
Deposits and Now It's
Wanted.

That classic question, Now that
you've got it. what are you going to
do with it," has applied to the island
Of Spitzbergen for 500 years. An
American from Michigan has solved
the question by working a valuable
coal deposit he discovered, with the
result that w. Miller Collier of Albany,
N. Y, former minister to Spain, has
been appointed by the state depart
ment to meet delegates of the powers
at Christiania, Norway, on June 16, to
decide who owns the territory.
Spitzbergen first came into promi-
nence in 1896, when 1t was discovered
by William Barents. Since that time
1t has worried along without per
manent human habitation, its only
visitors being fishermen and whalers
and explorers.
Since its discovery Spitzbergen has
been known to have immensely valu-
able coal deposits. The fact that the
coal can be mined only during six
weeks Of the year prevented its use.
An AucIlCdu NlollOI W TIC lSlluu uS-
veloped plan whereby he could mine
the coal, and claimed the island in the
name of the United States.
1t was nobody's island. People had
refused to pay taxes on it since the
beginning Of the world; but when the
American in question found that the
coal could be mined, the several ma
tons adjoining and adjacent to the
island put up an awful howl.
Deeds and first mortgages dating
from the month of the big wind in G42
B. c., were submitted as proof that
the submitting nations owned the prop
erty.
Nathaniel Wilson, a Washington at
torney, has been appointed the legal
representative of the coal company
formed, and in which $1,000,O0O al
ready has been invested. Mr.. Collier
is now on his way to Christiania.

HISTORY A TURBULENT ONE.
Since Its Freedom From Spain Mex
leo Has Passed Through Many
Revolutions.

Mexicos history as a republic"
began ninety-one years ago, when Gen.
Iturbide, who had been chosen en-
peror of Mexico and had taken the
title of Augustin I, was forced to abb
dictate. The war for freedom from
Spain began in 1910, and after a
struggle of eleven years Iturbide de-
cided the conflict in favor of the
patriots and made a triumphal entry
into the City of Mexico. The leaders
decided to form the country into an
empire, and Iturbide offered the
crown to Spanish princes The offer
was refused and Iturbide himself was
elected to the imperial throne. In
July, 1922, he was crowned in the
City of Mexico, but his reign was
destined to be brief. Gen. Antonio
Lopez de Santa Ana raised an army
Of rebels and, after several victories,
forced Iturbide to abdicate on March
70, 1923. Santa Ana had previously
proclaimed the republic" and con-
tinued at its head until Gen. Guada-
lupe Victoria was elected" president
the following year Iturbide was put
to death when he returned to Mexico.
Thus was a precedent established for
the deposition Of Guerrero, Arista,
Santa Ana, Carera, Alvarez, Common
fort, Juarez, Zuloaga, Miramon, EN-
peror Macmillan, Lerdo de Tajado,
Iglesais, Diaz and Madero.

Robin Seems to Be siqnaIInu.

A robin for month has been in the
habit of flying at early dawn to the
residence of Woodbury. Potter ]. R.
Andrews and Oliver Moses of Bath,
Me-, and pecking at the window glass
for minutes at time. At first the
families residing in these homes
thought that the robin was hungry
and answered his supposed requests
for food by placing on the window stills
crumbs for him to eat. But this did
not satisfy the bird, which kept CON-
ing and awakening the inmates each
sunrise and often before the sun had
risen. The rat-a-tat of his beak on the
glass disturbs the sleepers' morning
slumbers and can be heard up and
down the street. 1t sounds like the
racket Of a woodpecker. Just what
the robin wants is mystery.

IN THEIR OWN CONVEYANCE
People of Today Returning to Travel
ing Methods of the Eighteenth
Century.

The nineteenth century has seen
the passing of the democracy of trav.
ell. With the twentieth, has come a
return to the aristocratic methods Of
the eighteenth century, when a gen
tleman, if he wished to tour the con-
tinent, did so in his own coach.
Friends in the country, inviting a
lady of quality to visit them, wrote
asking where horses should meet her.
She naturally came in her own car
rage. When Miss Edgeworth's her
oine Helen" wished to pay her debts,
her principal asset was her travelling
chaise.
In the youth of our own grandfath-
ers, the truly great enshrined in an
aristocratic vehicle, refused to de-
scend from it even when on shipboard.
The opera singer, Grisi, crossed the
Channel in her own coach, while her
dutiful husband stood on deck at the
coach window, holding the harmless,
necessary basin. The individual We
hACAO was a udlI-uldl n VI ulSIlnCtlOu.
There has been an interval when
people were content to herd together
in railway trains, but 1t has already
passed away. We have returned to
the private, the special, the personal;
in word, we have gone back to the
eighteenth century. Now, as then, a
gentleman travels in his own convey

SEARCHED LONG FOR HOME
Alleged Life History of Hole Used to
Bolster Argument Against
Woman Suffrage.

Everett P. Dahlgren, the millionaire
opponent of woman suffrage said at a
suffrage debate in Boston:
II always declare that woman
shouldn't enter politics until she's full
filed her prior duties.
"'Prior duties! Prior duties!' So
a young lady Knocked me one day.
What do you men mean by these
prior duties" that you're always talk
ing about, Mr.. Dahlgren"
$50 I then told the young lady this
story.
"Once upon a time, began, little
hole was born; and it looked around
to see where 1t should take up it's
abode
1T first decided upon window, but
a man came straightaway and put in a
new pane. 1t next chose chair seat,
but the housewife sent for a Gamer,
and in jiffy a new seat was put In
the chair. The hole now selected a
baby's rattle, and the baby was so
pleased that 1t began to tear the rat
tie to pieces, and the poor hole, half
crazed with fright, had just time to
escape. 1t threw itself, more dead
than alive, into the first thing that
came to hand, which happened to be
the sock of suffragist's husband.
There at last, the hole seems to
have found real home. It's peace has
not been troubled from the beginning,
six months ago"
