The Feeling In Congress.

Conversations with congressman
show that the possibilities growing out
of war with Germany caused the wave
of opposition to the presidents policies
which came very near resulting in the
passage of a resolution of IA pacific ma
ture.
The war spirit does not run high In
congress. At the time OF the Spanish
war ii was congress that went on the
rampage and forced the administration
unwillingly into the conflict. This was
over the protest of the conservative
members of both houses. 1t Is true
that there was politics In 1t to some
extent, for n party was almost unit
ed In favor Of war. But the feeling In
congress Is not at n. like IL was back
In 1893.

Madden's Vain Plea.

"@a11H@ w@tH FtSN
There was IA provision In the post
office appropriation bill for increasing
the salaries of a number of clerks.
Sisson OF Mississippi was In with a
point of order, IA point OF order be-
ing a weapon by which one man can
defeat what is desired by the entire
house with the exception OF himself.
Madden of Illinois made a plea for the
clerks, pointing out the increased cost
living and showing that no increase
had been made for them In twenty
years.
1.-The time has come when even the
gentleman from Mississippi ought to
open the windows of his heart and let
a little sunshine in," said Madden.
"Do not be a pessimist; be liberal
enough TO do justice; do not be like a
blind man going into a dark 10 look
ing for n black hat that he knew was
never there"
But even that plea did not move

The Quorum Man.

gavel falls at the beginning OF each
session, and he insists that a quorum
of the senate shall keep him company.
He makes the point of no quorum ev-
cry morning and has a roll call.
Mann and Foster.
There is a warm friendship and mu-
tual admiration between Mann and
Foster, both of Illinois, but on differ
ent sides OF the political fence. But
at the same time they have their fenc-
ing matches. One day Mann was criti-
cising the committee on rules, of which
Foster is a prominent member.
The gentleman is so alert and In
telligent that he will not be taken by
surprise In regard to action on this
matter" said Foster.
Nothing. no matter how bad Ii Is,
will take me by surprise, coming from
the Democratic committee on rules"
Mann.
War and Water Power.
Discussion of the water power bill In
the senate brings out some of the curl
osities of our government. The propo-
sition is for control of the water power
by the secretary of war. OF course
the development of water power has
nothing whatever to do with war, any
more than navigation or the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, but all
under the head of the war de-
partment. The department of COM
merce of the interior would be the
proper place for this work. 1t Is be-
army engineers handle rivers
and harbors. and they are a part OF
navigation. that the war department
has charge. Water power Is inter
twined with navigation or at least has
been made so in the bill.

Nevertheless Lund was nervous. and
Peg badly frightened They tried the
door that had Just been slammed shut.

petted the pony. making friends with
the animals at once.
The pony was her special delight.
When she had rehearsed awhile and
was ready for a rest she left the ring,
leading the pony. and romped with it
on the grass outside the tent.
We'll, my little girl is an expert

returning to the ring for another turn
at rehearsal. Your old daddy Is
proud of you for sure. Why, there's
Lot one rider in a thousand who could

And Peg tenderly kissed the old
clown as she left him again to enter

she quickly donned loose cape and
hurried out to find the old clown al

Quick, quick, tell me what's the

shoulder began to sob like a child.
There, there, daddy; calm yourself.
Perhaps you didn't look carefully
Whatever was in the old letter cant
be any good to others-so be calm
and go look good for it. I'll see you
after I'm dressed" And as Peg
soothed him the old clown regained

While Peg had been dressing the
other girls with the show had been
