suit from the census now being
taken.

will show an increased population OF

allowing one representative to each
23aooo people were continued, more
than forty new members would be
added to the House membership,
making 1t total at least fB. This
would be based on q population OF
about 1100Oo.00o.
1t Is possible. however. that the
number Of peoSis each member rep

the lower body is ss large now as II
should ever be.
After the 1sl0 census. the member
ship OF the House was increased

countryman and an attractive young
woman. The male newcomer IN
formed the Wilhamsburgian that he
was seeking q husband for the girl.
A slight acquaintance having thus
been formed, the young woman pro-
ceeded to "vamp' the Italian into a
state of roseate indifference as to
the final outcome. The victim of the
woman's wiles went so far as to dis

a license was denied, the bride elect
being under age.
The Italian was seized by a sudden
attack of suspicion He found the
postal certificates gone and hastened
to the postofice. There he was told
that a man had tried TO cash the

With a crowded docket of the most
important bills untouched, Senate
leaders last night were weighing
doning everything to further discus
sion Of the peace treaty.
Congress has always made 1t a
rule to get necessary business out
of the way as early as possible in
Presidential years. Already many
Senators are compelled to be absent
from Washington frequently to at
tend to political matters. This con-
dition probably will grow worse in
stead of better as the campaign ap-
proaches and leaders are fearful
that the experience of this week.
when adjournments were taken on
sour days because not enough Sem
ators were present to do business,
will be repeated too often. u
Scores of important bills would
be caught in the jam, including a
dozen Of the regular appropriation
bills which must be passed by June
80 to run the government during
the next fiscal year. Each OF these
bills usually requires a week at
least in the Senate. Other measures
which leaders fear would be blocked

the rains seemed more than needful,
and mans heart felt disposed to

vision we can not always understand
the relation of cause and effect and
are crone to gamble. This is all
wrong. In our own land here Nature
has provided generously for man,
and among her greatest and biggest
blessings are sunshine and shower.
Blessed is the land that inherl.s
these and rich the fruitfuiness there
Of. With these reflections in mind
We lately directed our steps to the

but the prospect was lacking, win

We retraced our steps and took the
road past Uncle Eben's. An honesr,
industrious old negro and quite a
landmark in the neighborhood, was
Uncle Eben. Altho he could not
read ne was close observer and
kept pretty we'll informed and WAS
capable of making shrewd ded1c-
lions. Uncle Eben also possessed
some humor and was noted for his
success in handling fractions mules
To his credit be it said Uncle Eben
always cared well for his stock and
did not misuse them. The old man
was blowing up his cowpen making
preparation to plant turnips. We
stopped to admire the rich-looking
friabie soil where in vision green
topped luscious turnips would SOFA
be growing in luxuriance. AS he
noticed US, he stopped his work. tied
his plow mule to nearby tree and
was aoon engaged in conversation
Afser various preliminary remarks
pointing to a patch of crab-grass and

is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calonel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you Up

Don't take calomel. It can not be

Tho experience of Mr.. Frank Pate
eek during his trip to Europe, Whers
he passed through a number of the
war-wrecked countries that are now
struggling to regain their footing,
was anything but encouraging. He
spoke especially Of conditions IL
Bohemia, his home place. He fouui
the people different-warped by SUI
fering and discouraged to a despera-
ton that breeds hatred and sus-
picion. The farmer seemed to be
fairly we'll provided for. He could
care of his needs in the scarcest
commodity-food; because he rats
ed it. But the laboring classes caA
scarcely keep body and soul together,
because while all things are priced
out Of reason, labor In the mills
earns SO to $14 per month. He
must pay IS too So of this for a
pair Of shoes and $3.50 for shirt,
and other things In proportion. Thu
Government deals out one loaf If
bread a week. The laborer can
scarcely buy food with his earnings
and t1ost all OF them are going bare
footed. Hatred and bitterness
against the world is shown In every
utterance.
