Legislative Sidelights.

This year has seen a dearth of male
lobbyists about the legislature, but
there is no let up in the female end
of the game. Members say the
weaker sex was never so numerous
or SO persistent. Some of the men,
bers say they have had to be real
rude in disposing Of the persistent
ones. Many of the same faces that
have figured for the past ten years
are to be seen about the legislative
halls, and one would imagine that
they would be more or less adept by
this time. If anything it is the re-
verse. They fairly haunt the men,
bers who are admittedly for the legis-
lation they ask, while in the case of
those who have rebuffed them, some
times almost to the point of .rudeness,
they insist on coming back to the at
tack. That there are other and more
effective ways of reaching the ada
mant ones does not seem to appeal to
them. Tiresome, and at times Cruel
ing lobbying IN measure lost the
fair sex the ballot in the senate.
Vidian B. WYE, in the employ of A.
D. Wilson, food commissioner for
Minnesota, is very much in the spot
light just now. Vidian gave his at
tention to alleged wheat hording and,
according to exposures just made by
the twin cities press, permitted his
antipathy to any one bearing a Ger
man name to run away with his bet
ter Judgment. Vidian, too, was an ex-
pensive cuss and may have to kick
back some of the expense money he
wrested from frightened victims of his
activity He operated down through
the third district and from all ac-
counts ran wild. Secret service men
are now Neutrality-suspicious. Chap

"a police court isn't all grim and
sordid," remarked Judge White the
other day. "Sometimes something
really funny happens. Not so very
long ago chauffeur was brought in

Fire System in Rural ENGLAND,

A Yankee visitor was looking
through country fire station in Eng
land. He was duly impressed with
the equipment, especially with the fire
engine, which resembled somewhat a
street embarrassing oven attached
to village pump. One thing puzzled
him, however, and turning to Jarvis
Gridges, the chief, he said: "Why, you
don't seem to have any telephone in
the place. How do you summon your
men when a fire breaks QUIZ"
Gridges was equal to the occasion.
ooh, that's simple enough" he re-
piled. eve sends 'em all postcard"

bureau, said that all the speakers
are volunteers who give their serv-
ices absolutely without pay. For the
past FIVE or six months speakers

organization is too unwieldy 10

charge OF a volunteer director.
The various state directors will
work in cooperation with the sum-

July and August in nearly every

CARDS these Institutes as exception
