THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. One Hundredth Anniversary Of the Birth of William Lloyd Garrison Who was the Great Central Figure in the Anti-Slavery Movement in this Country, Around Which All the Lesser Lights Revolved. With His Pen He Rocked the Nation To and Fro Over that Momentous Question. The Negro Owes Him a Debt of Gratitude for the Sacrifice He Made in His Behalf. Which He Can Never Liquidate. Vol. XI One Hundred Of the Birth of W Who was the Great the Anti-Slaver Country, Around ser Lights Revo He Rocked the Over that Moment Negro Owes Him for the Sacrifice half, Which He William Lloyd Garrison, who was one of the world's greatest champions of the oppressed, the sorrowing, and down trodden humanity; whose memory is encircled or enshrined in the heart of every Negro, throughout the length and breadth of the universe, who has the faintest conception of the meaning of the word liberty!; was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, December 10, 1805. It is therefore beftaking, that on tomorrow, all the noble sons and daughters of freedom and Progress, should join hands and assist in every way to celebrate his One Hundreth Birthday Anniversary. No pen nor tongue can ever write or paint the true story of William Lloyd Garrison, who was instrumental above all other men in revolutionizing public sentiment in this country in favor of liberating the Negro from the house of bondage; it seems that this child of nature who with his pen rocked the nation to and fro over the slavery question was born in the lap of extreme poverty and squalor and that throughout his earthly career he was unable to free himself from its deadly grasp. Forty years before the date referred to William Lloyd Garrison's great-grandfather, Daniel Palmer, emigrated from Mass. and settled with three sons and a daughter on the St. John River, in Nova Scotia. Mary was the name of his daughter who became the future grand-mother of the great Reformer and agitator, and as time went by Mary Palmer, became the wife of Joseph Garrison, and one among her many children was Abijah, the father of William Lloyd Garrison, who as he grew up to manhood became a sailor, and by leading such a life he acquired a roving or a restless disposition which he could never shake off; regardless of his reckless habits it is said that he was a man of gifts both of mind and body. In time Abijah Garrison fell in love with Fanny Lloyd who was a most beautiful woman, highly educated, refined and possessing a strong will power; great firmness of character and independence, and if he would have permitted himself to have been guided by her advice in many things, their pathway through life would have been strewn with many roses instead of thorns and thistles. He continued to drift from place to place, and for some time his wife and their children as best they could never failed to fellow him. In the early part of 1805, he emigrated with his increasing family from Nova Scotia to the United States, and settled in Newburyport, Mass, and on December 10, 1805, his wife presented him with another boy, and they named this little boy William Lloyd Garrison. For three years after the birth of William Lloyd Garrison he made many successful voyages as a sailing-master. Apparently he dearly loved his wife and children, but he had cultivated the habit of drinking and carousing to excess, which habit was abhorred by his devoted wife. She endeavored to induce him to refrain from such demoralizing habits but he spurned her entreaties aside in this respect and continued to lead a depraved life and as he drifted from bad to worse, on one occasion when his wife's cup of sorrow was full to the brim, she broke up one of his drinking parties in her poverty stricken home, turned his company out of doors and smashed the bottles of liquor. Shortly after that incident Abijah Garrison permanently deserted his wife and children and nothing more was ever heard of him, for he disappeared as though he had been swallowed up by the earth or the sea. Brave hearted Fanny Garrison, with her three children, the youngest an infant at her breast, with undaunted courage, single handed and alone faced the cold and unfeeling world and she struggled day and night in order to eke out a miserable or a most wretched existence for herself and children. She hired herself out as a nurse, and while absent from the little house which she lived in, its owner Mrs.Martha Farnham, looked after the children for her. She made molasses candy, which was sold by Lloyd on the streets; one of the wealthiest families in that New England town gave her the refuse food from their table, and it fell to the lot of Lloyd to carry the food home in his little tin pail. With all of her struggles to keep the wolf from her door, the evil bird of extreme poverty continued to haunt her and her children, and when Lloyd became eight years of age she was forced to part with him and his little sister Elizabeth. They remained in Newburyport, while Mrs. Garrison and her eldest son, James, went to Lynn for the sole purpose of bettering their condition. Lloyd and his little sister made their home with Deacon Ezekiel Bartlett's family, and they were almost as poor as the Garrison's. The good Deacon sawed wood for a living and Lloyd followed him from house to house doing with his tiny hands what he could to help the kind old gentleman. Upon arriving in Lynn Mrs. Garrison, was successful in securing a position in a shoe factory; then she decided to have both of her boys to learn the art of shoemaking, but poor Lloyd was so frail that it was very hard for him to hold the heavy lappstone, he could not stand the pounding and the thumping necessary to make shoes, and the stiff waxen thread cut into the soft fingers of the little nine-year old boy. Finally it dawned upon the mind of Mrs. Garrison "that it was never intended for Lloyd to become a shoemaker. Hard times still hovered over this plucky woman and her children, and from Lynn she went with her two boys to Baltimore, MD. to work in a shoe factory, the owner of which failed just as she was getting on her feet. She was alone in CHICAGO, DECEMBER 9, 1905 WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON. Who was the uncompromising champion of the poor, the oppressed, the sorrowing and down trodden humanity. And the father or the leader of the Anti-Slavery movement in America. a strange city with her two children, and to make matters worse, and to add to her anxiety and distress James, the light and pride of her life, ran away from his master and had gone to sea, and Lloyd, became homesick and longed to return to the scenes of his boyhood days. Ever mindful of the happiness of her children and unmindful of her own hard lot, she permitted Lloyd to return to Newburyport. He was then in his eleventh year and on arriving in the town in which he was born, he again went to live with the Bartlett's, doing with his might all that he could to earn his daily bread, and to repay the kindness of the honorable old Deacon, and his family. His last bit of schooling he received, with his little sister Elizabeth while under the roof of Deacon Bartlett, and after finishing his scant education in the little brick school building, he was apprenticed to a cabinet maker in Haverhill. He made good progress in this craft, but he could not bear the idea of being cast among strangers, and again he became homesick, so he decided to run away and had actually started on his journey back to Newburyport, when the cabinet-maker caught up to him, and forced him to return to Haverhill. But when he listened to Lloyd's pathetic story, he relented, and in a short time he released him from his apprenticeship, and once more he found himself back in Newburyport, at the home of the good old Deacon. In all his struggles he had become master of the art of self-reliance, and at the age of thirteen he entered the office of the Newburyport Herald to learn to set types, and it seems that at last he found work suitable to his nature, for without the slightest difficulty he more than successfully mastered the compositor's art, and became a very rapid composer. As he continued to familiarize himself with the mysteries of the printing shop, he began to study the English classics, read American history and to follow the currents of party politics; and as he approached the age of sixteen he had contributed fifteen articles to the public press, in which he displayed a wide range of thought, and from that time onward, he gradually ascended the ladder of fame and he became one of the most forcible and classical writers in the English language in any section of the world. To return once more to Mrs. Garrison, who was far away from her early home and friends, with James, her pride, far away at sea, and Miss Elizabeth, who had just arrived at the age of twelve, laid to rest in the cold grave. Mrs. Garrison joined the heavenly host herself December 8, 1823. She was buried in Baltimore, and at the time of her death she was forty-five years old, and many years after she passed away. William Lloyd Garrison dedicated the following lines to his mother: "She was the masterpiece of womankind—in shape and height majestically fine; her cheeks the lily and the rose combined; her lips—more opulently red than wine; her raven locks hung tastefully entwined; her aspect fair as Nature could design; and then her eyes! so eloquently bright! An eagle would recoil before her light" At the end of seven years William Lloyd Garrison finished his apprenticeship with the Herald office, then he became the editor and the publisher of his own paper, The Free Press which was independent in politics, and which he only ran for six months; it was at that period that a strong friendship sprang up between him and John Greenleaf Whittler which lasted until the end of time, and at the end of six months, being penniless he was compelled to step down and out as the editor of the Free Press and he wended his way to Boston in quest of work, and for a long time he tramped from Printing shop to Printing shop, and it was just about as much as he could do to earn enough money to buy a little something to eat and to pay for his lodging. Later on he entered the office of The Philanthropist as a type-setter, and in 1828, he became its editor, and as The Philanthropist was devoted to the cause of temperance, and naturally enough William Lloyd Garrison stood as the head and the front along those lines; at that time a stranger from a distant city entered Boston, and with him he brought a new message, which eventually changed the whole purposes of the life of the rising editor. The name of that stranger was Benjamin Lundy, the indefatigable friend of the Southern Slave, at all times he carried in his breast the whole menagerie of Southern Slavery. He had traveled on foot to that city all the way from Baltimore, the city in which the remains of Mrs. Fanny Garrison were laid to rest, who had once written to her son, "telling him how the good God had cared for her in the person of a Colored woman, no one can tell how kind she is, and although a slave to a man, yet a freeborn soul, by the grace of God, Her name is Henry, and should I never see you again, and you should come where she is, remember her, for your poor mother's sake." With these kind and burning words still fresh in his memory, and with the meeting of Benjamin Lundy who was one of the greatest apostles of freedom, then and there in the presence of his new found friend, who in painting the untold horrors of slavery, had set his soul on fire, William Lloyd Garrison highly (Continued on Page 2.) Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Tandy Celebrate Their Twentieth Wedding Anniversary. Many Beautiful Presents Received by the Popular Couple. Last Saturday evening, December 2nd, from 8 o'clock until 12, Mr. and Mrs. Josiah S. Tandy entertained and received their friends at their residence, 5145 Grove Ave., in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of their marriage. That happy event took place at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Jane Brewer, 25 N. 8th St., Council Bluffs, Iowa, and the twenty years that have passed have been years of happiness and prosperity for them. Mr. and Mrs. Tandy were assisted in receiving by six of their oldest friends in Chicago, Mrs. J. C. Stewart, Mrs. James Warren, Mrs. John Hodge, Mrs. C. H. Pickett, Mrs. A. W. Curtis and Mrs. James Chinn; the bride wore a gown of cream faille silk, with diamonds, and stood under a wedding bell of white roses, entwined with sililax. The guests were introduced to the receiving party by Mr. Albert B. George and after expressing their warmest congratulations and best wishes and exchanging friendly greetings with others, were ushered into the dining room for refreshments. The decorations of this room were red and yellow, the table being crossed with broad red and yellow ribbons and set off with a great bunch of chrysanthemums; at the corners of the table were silver candalabra, while above it, in a mass of smilax, hung the bride's ring, with twenty lighted candles burning to proclaim the years of their wedded life. A profusion of wedding bells hung from the ceiling. Mr. Henry S. Anderson, assisted by Mr. Frank Derrick and Mr. Donald C. Wormley managed the refreshments, while Mrs. George C. Hall, Mrs. Blance Bannister Miss Jessie Gillespie and Miss Hattie Curtis served the guests. It is a point of pride with the bride that the excellent cake served to her guests was made by herself. Mr. and Mrs. Tandy enjoy a wide acquaintance throughout the country and many letters of regret came from friends in distant parts; old friends and new mingled in the festivities, and the old and the young were equally happy under their roof. The wish that the bride and groom of the evening might live to burn twice twenty candles upon the wedding ring was heartily acclaimed, and when one enthusiastic young lady suggested, make it fifty, that too (was carried. Mr. and Mrs. Tandy were remembered with many very handsome and elegant presents of china and linen, which were displayed during the evening for the inspection of friends. A list of those giving presents would be practically a list of those present, with the exception of those living at distant places. It was a very nappy occasion for Mr. and Mrs. Tandy and their friends, and one which cheered them to the depths of their hearts. The following is a complete list of the presents and their donors; Hand painted placque, Mr. W. G. Brown; vase, Leviton Bros; towels, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON. Up from the famous Bay State glen Sprung Garrison of world renoun, To lift the bars of slav'ry down And liberate a race of men. His energies and life were spent The Negro to emancipate, And furthermore to demonstrate The judgement of Omnipotent. The first to dare to agitate The abolition cult in days When reason met with curse and praise From coast to coast and state to state. But brave as Nelson on the deck His voice for Independence spoke. His strength was lent to raise the yoke. Can never prove a mark for shame By those form its con and pro. As near the cruix or turn it leans A strain people prays for God To usher in an episode When men shall be what freedom means. I know not what the world may, judge About the fit and proper place For this great champion of a race, Who wrong defied without a budge. Of eulogies to match John Brown, I rate the worth of Garrison. Let freedom's sentries light their flames And touch the eagle's starry wing. Look up' ye sons of Ham, and sing The honors that a hero claims. KING JEFFERSON, 2971 La Salle St., Chicago. THE WEST SIDE SUNDAY CLUB OF ST. STEPHENS CHURCH. Sunday December 3, the following interesting program was rendered at the West Side Sunday Club, which meets at St. Stephens Church, song, by the choir, recitation, Ben C. Winfrey paper on "Training of The Mind," Doctor Anna R. Cooper, selectoin, the choir. Address, Julius F. Taylor, "Four years Among The Mormons." The church was well filled, and at the conclusion of the program our highly esteemed friend, Rev. W. S. Brooks, moved that a rising vote of thanks be extended to Doctor Cooper and the writer for the excellent papers which were very edifying to those who heard them. President Zederick, vice President Thomas Secretary Frank Stewart and many others joined in declaring, that they had learned more about the Mormon people, than they had ever knew before. The ladies, were at their best, and many of them were favorably impressed with our suggestion in reference to the importance of acquiring, good and wholesome books for the younger and the older members of the race to read, which will inculcate into their minds higher ideals, and cause them in every way to become better men and women. Both branches of Congress convened on Monday, and on the following day President Roosevelt's long message was read. In it the President touched upon a thousand and one things, which if adopted would redown to the benefit of the majority of the American people. But in all of his numerous recohenditions to the law making bodies of this great nation, he had not one word to say, in favor of restoring the ballot to the disfranchised Negro in the South. Mr. Bert Lucky who has been very slick with appendicitis is improving ```markdown ``` (Concluded from Page 1). resolved to dip his pen in gall and burning fire, and enter the arena, and to do battle unto death with that hydra-headed monster slavery! Immediately after William Lloyd Garrison took upon himself a solemn vow of perpetual consecration to the slave; which was as follows: "Before God and our country, we give our pledge that the liberation of the enslaved Africans shall always be uppermost in our pursuits:" he left Boston, and became a resident of Bennington Vermont, where he assumed the editorship of The Journal of the Times, and in closing his connection with that paper in 1829, he declared "that he had been invited to occupy a broader field, and to engage in a higher enterprise: that field embraces the whole country—that enterprise is in behalf of the slave population." On August 29th 1829, William Lloyd Garrison, bid farewell to his friends in Boston and set out for Baltimore where he was to assist Ben. Lundy in the editorship of his paper The Genius of Universal Emancipation, for the first two or three months they progressed very nicely; but at the end of that time, William Lloyd Garrison bitterly assailed Francis Todd, a merchant of Newburyport, for allowing one of his vessels to sail for New Orleans, with a gang of seventy-five slaves; at the instance of Francis Todd, William Lloyd Garrison was arrested for publishing a "gross and malicious libel." He was indicted by the Grand Jury for Baltimore, and one the first of March 1830, he was convicted, and not being able to pay his fine of fifty dollars and cost which amounted to almost one hundred dollars, he was suspended, and just forty-nine days after entering the Baltimore jail as a priosner, Arthur Tappan, a rich New York, merchant sent him one hundred dollars to pay his fine, and he was willing to advance another hundred dollars for the further purpose of reviving the paper which had suspended, but as William Lloyd Garrison aptly, put it "he could knock a dozen subscribers off, while friend Lundy could secure one," and on March 5 1830 The Genius, went glimmering through the dream of things that were no more, after his second failure in the Journalistic world he again returned to Boston, and on January 1, 1831, his new paper The Liberator made its first appearance in the world. It was an insignificant sheet, consisting of four columns to the page, measuring fourteen inches one way and nine and a quarter the other. Oliver Johnson, has left behind him a vivid description of the office of The Liberator, "It's dingy walls: the small windows in the merchant's hall building bespattered with printer's ink; the press standing in one corner; the composing stands opposite; the long editorial and mailing table, covered with newspapers; the bed of the editor and publisher on the floor; a Negro boy who cleaned up the office his chief camplon," and for the first two years every one connected with The Liberator which ran for thirty-five years, labored fourteen hours each day, subsisted mostly upon bread and milk, a few cakes, and a little fruit, which they obtained from a baker's shop near by. Within a few weeks after The Liberator had blazed forth, within sight of Bunker Hill, where Crispus Attucks fell, it contained the following sentiments: "I solicit no man's praise." "I fear no man's censure." "Our trust for victory is solely in God. We may be personally defeated, but our principles, never!" "I am in earnest." "I will not equivocate." "I will not retreat a single inch." "And I Will Be Heard." The Southern slave-holders and their sympathizers throughout the North suddenly became alarmed at his bold or daring declarations, and the legislature of the state of Georgia, offered a reward of "five thousand dollars for the body of William Lloyd Garrison, dead or alive:" the head officials of many other Southern states were perfectly willing to follow suit, and while the people in the north were hotly clamming for his warm liberty—loving blood, he was attacked by a mob composed of Christian gentlemen, and dragged through the streets of Boston with a rope around his neck, and in order to save his life, the Mayor of that city with the aid of officers rescued him from the mob and placed him in jail, when he emerged from prison he was still cool and collected, and he continued to thunder forth through the columns of The Libearator in favor of Immediate and Unconditional Emancipation. tion. He in conection with Oliver Johnson, Robert B. Hall, Arnold Buffum, William J. Snelling, John E. Fuller Moses Thatcher, Joshua Coffin Stillman, B. Newcomb, Benjamin C. Bacon, Isaac Knapp, and Henry K. Stockton, met one dismal night in the African Baptist Church on Belknap street and organized the first Garrisonian Society for the abolition of slavery in the United States; he and his apostolic band also founded the New England Anti-Slavery Society, The Liberator become the official organ of both bodies and its editor was chosen as their general agent, and chief lecture, and as such he raised his eloquent voice in behalf, of the slave in chains, throughout the North and in England, and he never faltered in his labors until slavery was no more. In December 1865 he discontinued the publication of The Liberator, after the completion of its thirty-fifth volume, but until the day of his death which occurred at the home of his daughter Mrs. Henry Villard, in New York City may 24, 1879; he breathed words of hope and encouragement for the ex-slave, and among the last words spoken by the great apostle of liberty were: "My country is the world! my countrymen are all mankind!" In celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of his birth, it is well to remember, that his breast was full of the milk of human kindness, that his love for his fellow creatures was as broad as the universe, that he wore himself out in the service of his country, and that among the greatest champions of the rights of man, who have been sprawned upon the face of the earth, none of them were born greater than William Llyod Garrison.

The great apostle of abolition, Willian Lloyd Garrison, was born in Newburyport, Mass., December 10, 1805. The centenary of his birth is suitably marked by the publication of Ernest Grosby's notable book "Garrison the Non-Resistant." It is a sympathetic sketch of Garrison's career which considers slavery and the Civil War from an entirely original point of view. In the opinion of the author President Lincoln made a radical mistake in undertaking to coerce the seceding States, and the enthusiasm for the "Union" of sections which hated each other he regards as immoral in itself and the source of prolific subsequent evils, including the growth of the sentiments of imperialism and militarism, together with the foundation of the trusts and the aggravation of the labor problem. That the war failed to settle the race question is obvious. If the "erring sisters" had been allowed to go, slavery would, he thinks, have died a natural death, and the States would have reunited, the race question having been peacefully and genuinely solved. Even, those who fail to accept this view of history will find it interesting and full of suggestion and the acount of Garrison's life and the record of the personal observations of the author in the South of today are both vivid and entertaining.

Three-piece suits are always suitable for sightseeing. Thin silk blouses matching in color the rest of the costume are convenient, in that they do not require constant laundering. Worn with fine lingerie sets, especially with the high cuffs so much in vogue, these blouses are very modish and becoming. A gun-metal mohair, with a raised figure, made a very stylish three-piece suit. The skirt is box-plaited, and quite severely stitched, and the simple little Eton jacket was relieved from plainness only by the beautiful lingerie collar which fell over the shoulders and down the front. The jacket was closed to the waist line with fastenings of black braid, and the folded girdle of the material was also fastened with braid ornaments. The blouse was of gun-metal radium silk, and was heart-shaped in front, with a guilme to match the coat collar. The blouse was shirred on heavy cords on the shoulders, and was very full over the bust. The full sleeves were longer than the jacket sleeves, and were decorated with high white cuffs like the collar and guilme. Cashmere in light weight makes excellent gowns for traveling. Cashmere is the ideal material for designs using drapery, being very pliable, and yet very substantial. A lovely model in tobacco-brown was perhaps a little elaborate for a utility gown, but was too attractive to pass over. The skirt was full and plain, and was rather longer than walking gowns usually are. It barely escaped the ground, and would have to be held up wherever the ground was wet or dusty. The length was made necessary, from the aesthetic point of view, on account of the length of the redingote, which reached within eight inches of the hem. The skirt of the redingote was full and plain, and all met in the front. The points were rounded, which gave a more open effect, but the general effect was of a double skirt. The blouse part of the redingote was full, and rather loose in effect. It opened in front over a short waist-coat of brown satin elaborately embroidered in dull oriental colors, fastened with small gold buttons. The blouse was broad, square revers of the satin, the embroidery partly covered with very loose meshed lace, coffee-colored in hue. The full sleeves ended at the elbow in cuffs, which matched the revers, and a fall of coffee-colored lace. The girdle was of the cashmere, and was narrow rather than wide. FOR BATHING COSTUME. Case Made of Waterproof Material This Is of Practical Value to Offer as a Present. This is a useful case for carrying a bathing costume. It should, of course, be made in some waterproof material. Mackintosh sheeting, which can be bought by the yard, is, of course, the best, but part of an old mackintosh or rainproof coat may be used if liked. ```markdown ``` CASE FOR BATHING COSTUME (OPENED). and will answer perfectly. The shape is quite simple, as can be seen from the illustration. It may, of course, be made any size, but for a lady's costume of ordinary size from end to end, where the strings are sewn on, it should measure 30 inches, then from side to side about 24 inches. The outside might be of some pretty bright colored cloth, or a piece of serge like the costume; then the waterproof lining should be laid inside, the edges machine-stitched round, or better still, bound with braid. In the edge of one side work seven buttonholes, and sew buttons to correspond on the other. A strap of material or cord is sewn CASE FOR BATHING COSTUMB (CLOSED). on the outside, about seven inches from the buttonholes, to form a handle by which to carry the case. The costume is folded, then formed into a roll, placed in the center of the case, and the ends are tied over in the center and the sides folded over and buttoned. Value of Courtesy If more attention were paid to the little courtesies and amenities of life many a rough road might be made smooth, and sensitive boy and girl natures be helped kindly and considerably over difficult places. LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER LIKE FLORISTS’ EXHIBIT.

SW are) ‘The senate took jae the initiative last iy year when it \d passed a resolu- Congress has final- Wy abolished the practice of having flowers presented to the members of the house and senate on the first day of the session. ‘The senate took the initiative last year when it Passed a resolu- tion forbidding ‘the placing of fowers in the senate chamber. Speaker Cannon took the matter into his own hands so far as ‘the house is concerned this year and instructed the employes not to allow any fioral display on the floor of the house. The giving of flowers had been car- ried to a ridiculous extent. The desks of members were so piled up with feral pieces that nothing else could be seen and the crowded hall looked more like a floral exhibit than a legislative chamber. It got to be so that the friends of various statesmen attempted to outdo each other in the size and gorgcousness of the floral gifts that were sent in on the first day of the session. It became @ common practice that secretaries to members and senators wouli institute a regular campaign for funds from clerks in the departments ‘who were from the district or state, and these contributions were in a small ‘way 8 sort of blackmail. The poor clerks believed they could improve their standing with the senator or member by giving up from their hard- earned stipends one to five dollars for flowers. This practice became known to leaders in congress and they deter- mined to put a stop to it, and there will be no more ostentatious display of fowers on the members’ desks. The exhibit always detracted from the dis- nity of congress, and ft was @ common remark that men of the least promi- nence and ability usually secured the Diggest bouquet. An Old Man of Vigor. ~~ ENATOR MOR- = ve gan of Alabama is dow in his twenty-ninth year of service in con- gress, and in the eighty-second year of his age. He comes to this con- gress with 9 vigor and determination that might charac- terize a man 20 years younger than he ti He has no idea of allowing four score and two years to bar him from the most active participation in the legislation of the country. He has come prepared to debate all the important questions "iat will be before congress. He. is giving particular attention to the rail- Way rate question and has the inde- pendence to hold views that are con- Wary to those of a miajority of his democratic colleagues. Senator Morgan was always noted for bis independence of action. This he demonstrated most effectively dur- ing President Cleveland's last adminis- tration, when he, as one of the demo- cratic leaders in the senate, caused'a 00d deal of astonishment by opposing many of the administration policies. sors ho mie Semon he form “cuckoo statesman.” One day in an- Swering Senator Vilas of Wisconsin, who was the administration's spokes- man on the floor, Senator Morgan re- ferred to those who answered “cuckoo” every time the white house clock Struck. ‘The application was so perti- rent and humorous that the senate fairly roared, especially as Mr. Morgan Seldom indulged in wit or humor. ‘The Alabama senator proposes to have a voice in public affairs as long as bis brain is able to conceive ideas ‘nd his tongue to utter them. ‘His Speeches and his statements fm the Pubile press are usually of a very fl- luminating character and the young men of the senate are ready to accord Mr. Morgan 2 hearing, although it re- Gulres a good deal of patience to sit Out his speeches, which sometimes last for days, 30 Senator Pettus of Alabama. i ENATOR PET es of Alabama, » RSS Inave of Be or, Ved ea Fee es the most pk ceque characte : public life. t: now in his elg fifth year, -an really posse ot more phy he of Alabama, a, col- + a RN league of Senator vy, Morgan, cote to be probably fe on t: public. life.

Senator Pettus is kuown as the “Chi- ‘nese Mandaiin” because of his remark- ‘able physical appearance to the late ‘Chinese statesman, Li Hung Chang. He is a trifle over six feet in height, like the late Earl Li, and wears 2 moustache and imperial that give’ him ‘the fecial expression of the Chinaman. ‘To augment the resemblance the sen- ‘ator wears a pair of very large specta- cles with steel bows. Senator Pettus attributes his long life and his ability to stand hard work to early rising and Tegularity of habits. He is up by five O'clock im the morning at all seasons of the year, breakfasts between six and Seven and does his work in daylight. He is ready to retire at “early candle light,” and only on rare occasions does he put on his evening clothes and at- tend a dinner or other society func- tion. Senator Pettus is almost a connect- ing link between revolutionary times and the preseat. His grandfather, on his mother’s side, was Capt. Anthony Winston, of Virginia, a revolutionary Soldier of distinction. The senator's own activities extend over two-thirds of a century. He began the study ot law about 66 years ago and was admit- ted to the bar 64 years ago and has Practiced ever since except for the tiem he served as a lieutenant in the Mexican war and as an officer of the confederacy in the civil war, which he entered as a lieutenant colonel and came out as a brigadier general. Mr. Pettus has over three years to serve and the prospects are that at the end of the term he will be vigorous enough to seek a reelection. _ The Right Man. JURTH ASSIST. ant Postmaster General De Graw is proving to be the one man ip J 10,000 for the Place. He is the buffer bet ween congressmen and the post master = general and the man to whom a thousand and one complaints anéd / ‘protests come, which he must answel in a way to placate all parties. Mr De Graw is a great, big man, physical ly, with a wonderful fund of good na. ture and the very happy faculty o! denying applications and requests in 1 way. that gives no offense, but rather tickles the pride and humor of the ‘Congressman or postmaster. As the official who has in charge th rugal free delivery service, Mr. De Graw comes in contact with some odd people ami hears some very unique ex periences. He is looked on as the patron saint of the rural mail carrier and they relate to @im all their trials and tribulations. The life of the rural carrer is full of unique experiences, and all is not “beer and skittles” tn their daily existence. They unfortu. nately make enemies on their routes, who try to interfere‘with thelr per. formance of duty. A carrier up in Pennsylvania wrote to Mr. eD Graw the other day, detailing his recent ex. perience as follows: “As I was on my way from Lerays- ville to Rummerfield with the maf they ‘had a lot of stfeks in the road way, and one stuck in one of my wag: on wheels. I got out to remove it and found one end fast with wire and. somewhat vexed, I removed it, and be- gan to remove the others. John Blank’s wife ran from the house with a large dipper full of water and threw it op me, siso the second one, and then hit me on the back with the dipper and then grabbed up a boe which was on the yard fence, or near it, and hit me across my back three times, and the last time she hit she broke the handle. By that time I had removed all the sticks I could get loose.”* Mr. De Graw could send no great comfort to this badly misused mail car- ler, Speaker Cannon Busy. ‘—, PEAKER CAN. wi non has his hands full nowadays try- ing to find places fer all the new members fof the Presént house of repre sentatives. He has been com- pelled to take from the demo- crats some 12 or 15 places, in order to ‘accommodate the increased republicap membership. In the last house there ‘were 210 republicans and 176 demo- crats. With a membership of 54 per cent. the republicans enjoyed 62 per cent. of the committee appointments, numbering all told 759. ‘Speaker Canpon has figured out that in the present house the republicans have nearly 64 per cent. of the mem- bership, and if they were given ‘ the same proportion of committee assign- ments as in the last house they would receive 18 per cent. of the total com- mittee membership. This is too much ‘and would require too great s reduc- tion of the democratic membership to appear absolutely fair. So the speaker tas taken another basis for committee assignments. He finds that while there will be 66 new republican mem- bers to be taken care of in the com- ing congress there will be but 15 2ew Aeqocratic members. Under this plan he has been com- sins Remeet See oe publicans, and democrats are because they have lot a doen com- mittee places. The speaker advises Mr. John Sharp Willams, of Missis- aippi, the minority leader on the floor, co take out his pencil and do a little figuring. He says he believes that “John Sharp,” ag be affectionately calls his democratic friend, will find that the democrats have’ been most senerously treated. . = _ ON GAIT AND POSTURE. ‘Habit Is Everything in These Mat " ters—One Should Zealously Work tor Good Style. Each person's gait is characteristic. The hopefal woman has a hopeful, ‘Springy gait; the despondent one, a dragging, despondent walk. If you want to find out a person’s peculiarities watch his walk. Is it strong and vigorous or weak and vacillating? Is it firm and de- cided os faltering and uncertain? As ‘the walk is so is the character. The predominating characteristic of most women’s walk is indecision. In youth this carries itself in a certain un- certain swaying of the body; in age, when accompanied with stoutness, it changes to the fateful and hateful wad- dle. Watch a number of women walk up a theater aisle; out of a dozen there will not me one whose walk in any way compares with the floating, gliding ye UK aes = /i/ i Ae : WM: erate method of locomotion which is the pop- ular ideal of what a woman's walk should be. Aside from her character a woman's walk is an index to her breeding. The girl who walks down the street swing- ing her arms like pump handles may have the happiest disposition in the world, but a little restraint exerted over her fying members would give the pass- ers-by a more favorable impression of her bringing up and self-control. A woman's walk should be light and buoyant, with head erect in a natural position and chest up. All the move- ments should-suggest ease. The leg should swing out from the hip, and the ball of the foot should first strike the ground—never the heel. The young peasant women of southern Europe, who are used to carrying baskets on their heads, walk more like daughters of the gods than most of our physical culture advocates, and usually balancing a jar or basket on the head will help one gain a firm and erect walk, provided one prac- tices in a room of sufficient size or out of doors. It takes more practice to walk well than to do many a more difficuit feat. but a graceful walk is a peculiar and rare charm in either man or woman and one worth seeking, for to achieve a good carriage is to go a long way toward de- veloping those good qualities of mind and spirit that are indicated by the cor- at ain A CHRISTENING PARTY.

Tae fast speed. ing car was just the thing to appeal to the wealthy native, and hence it is that in Calcutta and Bombay elegant motor cars are very familiar objects. In Bombay the wealthy Parsee, Mo- - hammedan and Hindoo are in the major- ity. The European takes a back seat, so to speak, and thus we see the most fash- fonadle car the property of the native who thorougaly delights in this fas- ¢imating means of locomotion. Speed ‘and reliability-trials have done & great deal to make motoring fashionable, and in India, at any rate, there is a great fu- ture before the automobile.

This car, Griven by Lieut. Jenkins, won the cup, but, while it did so well, other cars ac- quitted themselves most creditebly and demonstrated that reliability is assured to users of motor cars in India.

A farmer living down toward Har. ward's had a most knowing pig which Qe sold to a Little Islander, who took ais prize in boat to his home at the sland, reports the Kennebec Journal. 3afely shut up in the spacious pig pen was this new inmate of the family, and the farmer man went peacefully 30 rest, much content with his new purchase. In the morning the pen was empty And no little pig could be found on the siand.

Idea of the Turbine The modern steam turbine was in some respects anticipated by an invention of an Italian architect named Branca, who lived in the seventeenth century. In far more distant times the engine devised by Hero was at least a hint of the turbine which is now making headway against the familiar reciprocating steam engine. Thirty Hours at the Piano. Herr Berg, the "iron pianist," who set himself the task of playing the piano continuously for 30 hours at the Brighton aquarium, successfully completed the feat. In the course of his performance he played between 500 and 600 pieces, including the march from "Tannhauser" and Lizst's "Rhapsody." Confined Sound. The intensity of confined sound is well demonstrated at Carlsbrooke castle, isle of Wight, where there is a well 200 feet deep and 12 feet in diameter, lined with smooth masonry. If a pin is dropped into it the sound of it striking the surface of the water, 182 feet below, can be distinctly heard.

The transport Logan, which arrived at San Francisco from Manila recently, had a somewhat eventful trip, as it included an attempted murder, a typhoon, a suicide and a series of thefts from staterooms. The Logan was in Manila bay during the great typhoon and rescued many Filipinos. In one native boat was a Filipino, his wife, a baby and a pig. The kampino first sent the pig up the Logan's side, then the baby, and was coming up next himself, but at that point the Logan's crew drew the line and insisted on precedence for Mrs. Filipino. Loubet's Retirement President Loubet says he will probably withdraw from politics altogether when his present term expires. He could have a reelection, but will not. "I could be of use," he adds, naively, "as a member of the senate, but while my district would probably send me to the chamber of deputies the department would not elect me senator. I am considered too conservative and not sufficiently republican." Right and Left-Handed. In all right-handed persons the strength of the left hand is found by Prof. Caster, a French physiologist, to be about nine-tenths of that of the right hand. Quite curiously, the movement of supination, or turning the palm upward by rotating the forearm, is more powerful than the opposite pronation, or turning the palm down by outward rotation. A Hard Rider. Among Lord Roberts' countless claims to distinction it is little known that he is one of the best and hardiest riders in the British army.
