A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BIZ HERBERT PLUMMER.

Firm in his belief in the bill which
bears his name, nevertheless he was
tolerant toward those who differed
with him.
So impressed was Ashurst, the big
Senator from Arizona and one of
Shoots most persistent opponents, with
this fact that the other day he was
prompted to say:
mo Senator differed more radically
from the tariff views of Senator Smoot
than have e. have seldom agreed
with him at any point. But I have
been the recipient of constant acts of
courtesy on his part. He has lis
tened to arguments with civil consid-
Grafton, and all any one has right to
ask is that the duly appointed authority
listen to argument"
Proudly does one of the regular Re-
publicans, Tasker Oddie of Nevada, say
of Smoot:
HE has stood here like the Rock of
Gibraltar in defense of the measure.
From another Democrat, the red
headed, slow-talking Bratton of New
Mexico, comes this tribute Of the Utah
Senator:
"He has been patient; he has been
considerable; he has been industrious;
he has been helpful -"
Thomas of Oklahoma, Democratic
member of the finance committee, who
sat with Smoot longer than some Of the
others, says that no member OF the
committee gave the work anything like
the time that did the chairman. But
Thomas, true to form, could not help
but ask, in a voice Of despair:
But what kind of bill have we now
as a result of all this work."

July 26, 1865.-The Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad, which not long ago obtained
q charter for a branch railroad from
Washington to Point of Rocks, Md,
on the Potomac River, approximately
so miles northwest of this city, has
making the actual survey for the new
line, according to information made
public here today. The preliminary
survey for this route was made some
time ago.
It now seems probable that before
the present Summer season ends the
construction of this new branch rail-
road viii be well under way.
The route is reported to be from
Point of Rocks southwark between
Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Potomac
River, thence south to the base of Pars
Ridge to point east of Rockville
and down the valley of Sligo Greek
to the boundary line of the District of
Columbia. Near this point it will join
the main line of the railroad running
northward from washington to Balti-
more.

fore Justice Walter this morning at
police headquarters for examination.
The case has aroused great interest.
Besides the many spectators, there was
a large number of Government clerks
present as witnesses. After consulta-
ton between counsel and the Govern
ment authorities, 1t was decided to
postpone the hearing until tomorrow
and Whittlesly was committed to Jail
overnight Justice Walter indicated
that he would require bail in the sum
of 100000.
Secretary of State Seward and men,
bers of his family left Washington
today on the steamer River Queen,
which will take them as far as Norfolk,
Va. The United States steamer North
erner accompanied the River Queen.
The destination of the party is Cape
May, N. j., and II the water is rough
they will transfer to the Northerner
at Norfolk for the remainder of the
trip. Otherwise the entire trip will
be made on the River Queen. ,
Secretary Seward has recovered from
the injuries received from would-be
assassin on the same night that the
late President Lincoln was murdered.
His son Frederick, who was severely
cut with knife in protecting his
father has also virtually recovered and
is accompanying his father on this trip,
along with Mrs. Frederick Seward, Gen.
w. H. Seward, jr., and Miss Fanny
Seward.
The Secretary of State will return IN
five or six days, but the others will
remain away longer.

room that is desired free Usually this
space is near window. Study the room
and find out what arrangement will
bring about the desired effect. The
room should have the furniture so bal

manipulation at times to make cham
Der appear large by the correct placing
of a bed Arranging the rest of the
furniture so that 1t will be both con-

WHATEVER individual members of
w the United States Senate may
think of the merits of the tariff bill
and it goes almost without saying that
there are about IS different opinions
on one thing there Is complete accord.
That lanky, serious minded chairman
of the finance committee-Reed Smoot
of Utah--has set an all-time record for
industry and patience during these long
months the question has been before
the Senate.
It was a man-killing Job that Sena-
tor Smoot took on last Summer when
his committee plunged into the tarih.
Day after day, month after month,
through one Of the Capitals hottest
SummerS-from morning until night
and often away into the night-he
labored.
Not q strong man physically, and well
on to 70 years Of age, he met attack
after attack under the most difficult
and trying conditions. His thin voice,
which scarcely carries from his seat in
the center of the Senate chamber to
the opposite sides, has been raised many
times during the past year In defense
Of the various provisions Of the bill.
In the eyes Of many observers his
task has been superhuman one.
He has stood on the floor of the Sen
questions affecting the countless items
of the bill. Often he has battled for q
seemingly doomed cause, but not once
did he falter. Always considerable, cour-
teous at all times to his bitterest foes,
Smoot endeared himself to Republican,
insurgent and Democrat alike by his
patience and kindly attitude.

BEDTIME STORIES

W. Burgess. /:

IL - said Farmer Browns Boy. TT isn't
like him not to be on hand to help feed
the hens" He called Jim, but got no
answer. He looked around the barn for
him: he looked in all of Jim Crows IA
vorite places. He didn't see so much as
a single black feather OF Jim Crow.
well, I can't wait for him." said
Farmer Browns Boy. THE hens must
be fed" He started for the hen house.
Perhaps you can imagine his surprise
when as he turned the corner of the
barn he heard some one calling those
hens. He looked up to see the hens all
racing across the henyard, and there
was Jim Crow poking sticks through the
chicken wire. He was pretending to
feed those hens, and all the time he
was calling them. Then he flew up on
the nearest post. and Farmer Browns
Boy was sure that Jim Grow was laugh
ing. even If he made no sound.
IT wouldn't have believed 1t II /
hadn't seen il myself" said Farmer
Browns Boy, as he told Mother Brown
about it afterward. There were those
hens walking around with the most sur
priSed and disappointed looks, and there
was Jim Crow enjoying his little joke.
There isn't any doubt about it--he was
enioying his little joke. You should
have seen his eyes twinkle when went
over to him and spoke to him"
After that Jim Grow played that joke
often. Whenever he could think OF
nothing else to do he would go over and
call the hens and then offer them little
sticks or pebbles. He would do it sew
eral times day.
Now, hens are not such stupid crea-
lures as some people think. After a
while they refused to come to Jim
Crows call. They were no longer fooled.
And finally Jim Grow gave up his little
Joke in disgust But while it lasted it
was very funny performance to watch.

Everyday Psychology
Best Personality Tyne.
BIZ DIR. JESSE ". spRowLs.

OC0I 4OASOAdAAIy 4JPS'
Personality, as study in psychology,
provokes the question Of types, for
the simple reason that these who attain
distinction seem to possess q distinct
personality type of some kind.
Personality and achievement go to-
gether. Invariably so. And so the
question is: What is the best type?"
once decided, the question changes to
this: How may I cultivate my IA
vorite type?"
The answer to the first question de-
termines what we are to try to do about
the second.
There is no definite answer to the
first question. Among the men and
women of all times who have achieved
distinction biography enumerates all
types, from the most Secretive introvert
to the most flippant extrovert. Some
times definitely abnormal types have
achieved signal success, depending, Of
course, on when and where they lived,
the spirit Of the age.
But then there are some interesting
trends that deserve consideration.
The truly great poets, writer's, sculp-
tors, painters, philosophers, inventors
and skilled mechanics have been intro
verts.
The truly successful politicians,
preachers, pioneers, business men and
promoters Of every sort have been
extroverts.
Since the answer to the first question
Is relative answer, so must be the
answer to the second. There is only
one conclusion to draw about improve
ment of your own type: Be yourself.
AS one of our thoughtful Americans
says of Americans, "This is an age
when great spirits perish, done to death

The position of a bed in a chamber
should be carefully studied. On this
depends the arrangement of the other
pieces of furniture, for the bed is the
largest article.
When a chamber is small the archi-
lecture of the house may determine the
position of beds in rooms. Architects
have to plan in each instance for spaces
that can accommodate beds. Windows
and doors have to be SO introduced that
they will not interfere with such spaces.
When there is but one part of the room
that will accommodate q bed, then the
home decorator HIS no choice In It's
position.
In rooms that are larger-and most
chambers permit of two or more places
where a bed can stand--the home
maker has a choice. She has to con-
slider Various aspects before determining
which place is best suited to the pur-
pose. 1t is wise for her to change the
position from. time to time, as VIII De
seen. For one thing. this wears the
floor coverings In different spots and
makes them last longer and look better.
In Summer the bed should be SO
placed that 1t gets the best al II
possible. keep 1t out of a corner OF 2
room. 1t should be In such spot that
every breath of air can be enjoyed by
the sleeper, especially in climates that
are hot.
In winter the bed can be pushed into
the corner and be as far from direct
dra 4gflts as the size of the room per-
mits. Then windows can be open and
pure air admitted without discomfort TO
the sleeper.
II large free area Is wanted In
room, the bed should not stand out 10
1t any more than can be helped. It's
