Free Baths and Shaves and Massage and Other Things as Well. Every member of congress has the free use of the congressional baths and the barber shops under the capi- tol. He can take a nifty Turkish bath, a Russian bath, a Roman bath, a needle shower or the plain, old fash- joned Pike county style of bath, lying down in a tub with both faucets going, and it doesn’t cost him a cent. As often as he pleases he may have a shave, a hair cut, a facial massage and be manicured all around, as they say in parts of Iowa when shoeing a horse. Every other day he can have the back of his neck shaved, just as if he were going to some large social function back home. Uncle Sam pays for the attendants and provides the whole outfit. ‘We mustn’t overlook the notion coun- ter at the capitol either. The mem- bers don’t, so why should we, espe- cially as the said notion counter is a gracious and enduring boon to states- men, their wives, families, heirs and assigns. It contains everything you can think of that would properly come under the head of notions and a great deal besides—all kinds of stationery, all kinds of typewriter and desk supplies, pocket knives, scissors, fountain pens, card cases, purses, wrist bags, visiting cards, business cards and—sh-h-h!-- even the kind of cards which run fifty: two to a set and may be used for play- ing old maid and other harmless games.—Munsey’s Magazine. FAKED PAINTINGS. An American Who Was Fooled and an M. Henri Rochefort was being inter- viewed one day on bogus picture col- lections, says the Paris correspondent of the Kansas City Journal. He is as good an expert as any on the question. The subject always interests him. “Sit down, my friend,” he said to the jour- nalist. “I will tell you a good story. It happened not long ago either. An American one day rushed in and beg- ged me to say what I thought of the pictures he bad just bought. ‘They are here at your door,’ he said. ‘I brought them along in a cab.’ “They were carried into the room. There were Rembrandts, Corots and Harpignies. * ‘The Rembrandts are false,’ I said, ‘the Corots ditto, the Harpignies ditto.’ The American was horror struck. He said they had cost him $160,000. “ ‘Then,’ T said, ‘let us leave the Rem- brandts and Corots aside. These mas- ters are dead, but Harpignies is not. Here is a note for him from me. Ask him yourself if he signed these pic- tures” My American disappeared. 1 never heard from him again, but I got a letter from Harpignies some days later., He said: ‘My dear friend—If I wefé not ninety-two years of age 1 would have sent you my seconds for sending that American to me to ask if those worthless daubs were mine. Yours, Henrj Harpignies.” . Kept His Head. . An ambassador of the great Charle- magne while visiting a court in the east, ignorant of a law of the king that condemned to death any one who moved a dish at table before the. ty- rant was served, committed this of- fense. “Great king,” said the ambas- sador, “l die without a murmur; but, in the name of the great emperor § p. m.—at Masonic Temple, Bel- W trami Ave., and Fifth St 0.

Might Is Right. “Effie.”” said the timid highland lov- er, “I wad kiss ye, but I'm feart ye wadna let me.” She blushed as red as the sunset, but 1id not answer. “Effie,” he repeated timidly, a little later, “I said 1 wad kiss ye, but I'm feart ye wadna let me.” At the third repetition she asked: “Dae ye min’.

Secret societies ure so ancient that their origin is lost in the mists of the past. They existed in Egypt. Persiu. India. at the earliest times with which history or legend gives us any insight. It seems to be natural for men to organize such societies for both good and evil purposes. Nearly all the ancient religions were of a two faced character. popular and secret, or, as they are called. “esoteric” and ‘“ex- oteric,” the first for the few, the in- itiated. the second for the rank and file. The philosophers would teach one thing to the masses of the people and another to the select few who made up the wise men of Rome and Greece be- lieved quite differently from the com- mon run of Greeks and Romans. A Good Listener. Alfred Henry Lewis. the author. was walking up Pennsylvania avenue one day when he met Louis Brownlow, the magazine writer. “Louis,” said Lewis solemnly, *“listen to me—for three hours." “Why. what's the matter?’ asked Brownlow. “Why." said Lewis indignantly, “I've been in this town all day. and every- body else has been doing the talking. I do love my little conversation!” Brownlow went to Iuncheon with him and, after doing a sprint in long distance listening, puiled out his watch with the remark: *“Lewis, I've listen- ed to you for three hours and nine minutes. une.

His first mis take was in language. “Thirty-six | chest,” he said. corrected the young woman. At last In a helpless tangle he bought meekly what he was told to buy. Then she asked, “Is there anything more I can | show you?” “Yes,” he said solemnly, “the quick est way out.”—New York Sun. A New Way to Religion. A clergyman recently said. *“If 1 were to start a new religion, do you ! know what I would do?” | “You'd go out and preach, wouldn't you?” I asked. “I'd do something else first,” he re- | plied. “I would go to the popular song writers, writers of words and writers of music. and I would get them to write songs expressing the spirit of the new religion., If we can only make people feel religion, if we can make them realize that it is al- ready there in their hearts, make them love it, we can move the world.”"—San Her Suspicions Aroused. | “My father persuaded me to take a course in domestic science.” “And how do you like the course?” “Well, it looks like ordinary kitchen work to me.
