Mrs. Stackhouse has ‘kindly offered te serve an oyster supper to this enthu tic crowd, and as her at- tainments as a hostess are well known, it is safe to say that all those invited will be present. Dignity of Senatorial Visiting. There is something impressive in the way one senator generally calls on an- other in the office building at Washing: ton. A repressive dignity precludes the old time free and easy method of “drop- ping in to see Tom” or Jim or Jack —kicking in the door and sitting down on the table or desk and “smoking up” without invitation. Today there is a sedate step, measured and regular, as the senator sets, out to call, with a manner and bearing that at once sug- gest. senatorial. dignity and courtesy. Such a bearing and dignity must per- force take the place of the impressive senatorial toga of the old days, and a | visiting dramatist (a lady, to be sure) has suggested that it would be most fascinating to «ome to the senate on some holiday and find the distinguish- ed gentlemen who pow wear tweed and business suits attired in the Cae- sarian toga and mantle—a mise en scene that would leave Shakepeare’s Julius Caesar at its best presentation hopelessly in the background. — Joe Mitchell Chapple in National Maga- zine. Dreamland, Most ‘people sleep for about eight hours out of the daily twenty-four. That means they sleep one-third of each day, or one-third of their entire lives. And, according to many scien- tists, the whole time we are asleep we dream. We do not remember most of these dreams. Indeed, we remember only the very last one before we wake or some dream that is so vivid it wakes us. In other words, for one-third of our total lives we are dwelling in dreamland. And dreamland is a coun- try of more utter absurdities, more grisly horrors, more fears, hopes, sur- prises and novelties than any land de- scribed by the most imaginative au- thor. It is a land full of mystery, a land that science has for sixty centu- ries sought in vain to explore. It lies amid wholly unexplored regions of the human brain, regions which its posses- sor never saw.—New York World. A young lady was critically examin- ing a pair of shoes which the clerk had just fitted on. She carefully scrutiniz- ed first one foot. then the other. Final- ly she said slowly: “Don't you think one of my feet is larger than the other?” “No. indeed, madam!” replied the would be diplomatic clerk. “On the contrary, I think one is smaller than the. other.”—Lippincott's, Children’s Hose Work.

He would not give consent to the surgeons to amputate. He feared that should he do so he would be classed among the beggars. “I am not a beggar,” said the stout old soldier proudly. “I'll lose my life, but not my honor.” “Tis true,” said Carmen Sylva, “you are not a beggar, but I am.” She threw herself on her knees at the bed- side. “I have never prayed but to God,” and, taking his hand, she added: “But I now supplicate you to listen to his wish and mine. Let your leg be taken off and spare your life to your family, your country and to me, and”— “And, if I consent, what then?” “What then!" she exclaimed joyful- ly. “Why, I shall give you the most beautiful artificial leg that can be made in Europe, and when the war is over you shall come and dance at the palace with your sons.” “I consent,” he said softly, “but you must hold my hand during the opera- tion.”—T. P.’s London Weekly. “JUMP, JUDY, JUMP!” Dancing In London In the Early Part of the Last Century. Lady Bell, writing in the London Times regarding the modern dance, quotes extracts from “The Letter Bag of Lady Elizabeth Spencer Stanhope.” The. following Passages are taken from a letter written in 1812: “Lady Blizabeth gave a very success- ful ball, where, for the first time in London, the polka was danced in pub- lic and people stood upon the chairs and rout seats to watch it * * * Mr. Theodore Hook declared that ‘the ob- noxious dance was calculated to lead to the most licentious consequences.’ * * * Subsequently the Sporting Maga- zine * * * denounced the dance which, ‘to the disgrace of sense and taste, has obtruded itself into the whole cir- cle of the fashionable world, * * * a will corrupting dance. * * *+a com- pound. of i pee gests: Bo dpe On the then tand, Lmust al ao from*the same work ‘the a pra of an) Irish lady of that period at a ball to ‘her daughter, who was not dis- playing enough spirit in her dancing: “Jump, Judy, jump! The guardsmen are looking on!” Intellectual Humor. The region of intellectual humor. which may be roughly illustrated by such sayings as that of George Sand that nothing is such a restorative as rhetoric or the claim advanced by a patriot that Shakespeare was ‘undoubt- edly a Scotchman on the ground that his talents would justify the supposi- tion. The humor of George Sand’s epigram depends upon the perception that rhetoric, which ought to be based upon a profound conviction, an over- whelming passion, an intense enthusi- asm, is often little more than the aban- donment of a personality to a mood of intoxicating ebullience, while the bu- mor of the Shakespeare story lies in a sense of the way in which a national predilection will override all reason- able evidence.—A. C. Benson in “At Large.” The Scotch Invaders. One of the most valiant defénders of the Scots parliament was Lord Belha- ven. who delivered an eloquent oration in which a vision of Scotland undone by English invaders filled the bill. He saw poor Caledonia overrun by Eng- lish traders, English attorneys, Eng- lish judges—the whole nation, in fact, looking in vain for work because Eng- land had sent her aliens into every town to fill the fat places. The alarm- ing speech produced a profound effect until Lord Marchmont suggested that Belhaven should add, “I awoke, and behold it was a dream!” Anda dream it has proved, if we interpret dreams in the usual way, by contraries.—Lon- don Chronicle. A man was fixing his automobile. “Trouble?” asked a bystander. “Some,” was the laconie answer. “What power car is it?” “Forty horse,” came the answer. Prialoe seems to be the matter with “Well, from the way she acts I should say that thirty-nine of the j horses were dead.” aan Mesh ORDER FLOWERS Thru local dealers or Agents when possible, but insist on DULUTH FLORAL CO. goods and service—the bestin Duluth without argu- ment, when it comes to Wedding Boquets or Emblems for Funerals. || flourishing a revolver. ‘| tured while attempting to get across SLAYER HOLDS POSSE AT BAY Eecapes From Barricaded; House Un- der Cover of Fog. Pittsburg, Dec. 30.—Dodging from tree to tree and firing as he ran, Henry Rokowski, who shot and killed Constable Martin Windt and probably fatally unded two other persons at West Homestead, a suburb, held a posse of 200 deputy sheriffs and citi- zens at bay on the hills above Mo- nongahela valley. The shots were returned, but Ro kowski escaped through the woods to a deserted cabin, where he barricad- ed th? doors and taking position at a window fired at every movement within his range of vision. A heavy fog hung over the valley and Rokowski managed to get away from his hiding place without being observed by the posse. BOARD ASKS TAX REFORM Seuth Dakota Commission Proposes ’ Classification Plans. Pierre, S. D., Dec. 30.—Tax reform through constitutional and legislative action is proposed by the state tax commission in a resolution that has just been adopted by the state tax commission, in which the present sys- tem is declared to be cumbersome and expensive and incomprehensible and conflicting. The remedy through con- stitutional amendments would be the classification of property for taxing purposes. PHONES REPLACE STRIKERS Four Hundred Operators on Frisco System Locked Out. St. Louis, Dec. 30.—Freight and passenger..trains on the Frisco rail- way system are being operated by telephones exclusively, following the lockottt.. of 400 telegraph operators who had threatened to strike, and the removal. of telegraph instruments from jstations throughout the system. The double coup of the railroad in locking out :its telegraphers and ar- ranging for a telephone system in dispatching trains dumbfounded the telegraphers. Larson \c Che ...

Densmore, a solicitor of the federal department of labor, conferred with Governor Ferris at his home here concerning the strike situation. Mr. Densmore left for Calumet im- mediately afterward. “I am still of the opinion that there is no necessity for the federal auther- ities to take action in this affair,” the governor said. “There is a grand jury now in session at Houghton. Moyer or anybody else can go before that body and get justice. It is atrict- ly a state matter and Michigan can handle it.” After the conference Governor Fer- ris said that Solicitor Densmore had explained that he did not come to Michigan to begin a federal investi- gation into the strike conditions.

Apparently he has the best appetite, if not the best diges- tion, of any human being on the plan- et. He eats every year 264 pounds of meat, which works out at an average of two sheep and one-fifth of a bul- lock for every man, woman and baby in Australasia. He eats more than twice as much meat as the average tion is quickly shown.
