KENYON MADE THEM HUNGRY

Senator Kenyon stirred the SEN
ate to high pitch of hunger the other
day. He was talking about child la
Dor. In the course of his talk he
drew a picture of a farmers boy sit
ting down to an old-fashioned coun-
try dinner.
The senator was contrasting the
life of the factory boy and the farm
boy. He said that while the farm boy
worked in the fields, rested at noon by
turning the grindstone, MIXED the
cows and so on, still he went swim
ming and fishing, SAW the circus, and
had pretty good time.
81 have a very distinct recolleu-
ton that as a boy on a farm l had TO
pitch the bundles to the threshing
machine" said he. 81 used to think
that was about the hardest work that
could possibly be done in the world.
But when you remember the
farmers dinner-the fried chicken and
mashed potatoes, and gravy, and corn

The dog Riquet," observed Ana

their heroes.
In his attitude toward life there
are unselfshness. humility and ideal
ism. These qualities are. in fact, to
be found only in dogs"

ADMIRAL HERBERT QUICK

Herbert Quick, member of the new
farm loan board, looks like mag
nate, even if he is a farmer. One day
when he went into breakfast in
Youngs hotel in Boston, one of the dig
nified and portly negro walters came
over and filling his glass said: Good
mornin', general. will you have some
canteloup?" "Yes," said Quick, ''but l
am not a general"
The waiter brought it and said;
''Now, governor. will you have some
cereal?" Yes, some oatmeal but /
am not a governor"
Again the waiter came and said:
Now, judge, what is you gwine to
have for breakfast?" Bring me some
ham and eggs" said Quick, but I
am not a Judge"
As the meal drew to its close the
waiter said: BOSS, does you mind
tellin' me what you Is?" Quick's sense
of humor had been already aroused
and he said: "Why, no. l don't mind

Mayor Mitchell, Police Commits

luminaries that sparkle in the New

Staten island. Their object was to
inspect and review the 400 New York

JUDGE CLAYTON KNEW

Sometimes it comes in handy for
United States Judge to have beer n
member of congress. Judge Henry d.
Clayton, who is on the circuit bench of
Alabama, not long ago was trying a
case in which the question of mans
handwriting was involved. Under the
Alabama law 1t was always necessary
to prove persons handwriting, and
the admission of ones writing by COM
parisOn could not be taken In evil
dence to prove the authenticity of a
document introduced in evidence. The
defendant sought TO gain a point in
his case by introducing letter in the
handwriting of one of the parties in
volved. Judge Clayton ruled that the
writing was admissible.
Immediately the lawyer on the
other side rose and suggested TO Che
court that his long service in con-
gress had probably made him rusty
in the law; that handwriting could not
be proved by comparison with writing
