there was a t’liureli Hnscball league
in Hartford. \\ Idle all of these things
were not in line with our aneenlora’
thought, they were for the betterment
of our physical natures. He said that
hy a |ieeullar laek of sagacity on the
part of a majority of the voters of the
Ktrsl Senatorial District lie was two
years ago also lIds year, eleeled as the
Senator from that district to represent
them In the Senate. He was elected as
a llepuhllenn, and sop|Mised he was
one, ami Is one still.
He ex|>ecled to attend Ihe sessions
this winter, lull lie witnessed in I lie
last session w hat tie considered a de
cidedly clumsy way of doing business.
He knew lie made as many mistakes
as anybody and voted on ns many lulls
tlial lie did not know anything about
as (lie next one, but be did it because
the system had not yet been outgrow n
and lie thought it was time it was
changed. Half of the session t> s|ient
in gelling acquainted and the other
half in regretting that you are so well
acquainted. Illlls are voted u|K»n that
tile Senators do not understand, amt It
is a wonder that the legislatures do
not do more harm than they do. He
had no criticism to make of any legis
lator. they were simply {the outcome
of the system that has bwn in vogue

many of the evils that exist and make
things cumtiersoine today Americans
try to do too many things at a lime.
As an illustration he told the story of
the man w ho. w hen asked if lie played

man was probably an American.
President Luther sanl he did not be

Liter&xv Notes.
Lt ret m utt’s was the Ural maga/.lne
to print an entire novel in every issue,
so a leading feature it belongs
peculiarly U» the pioneers, even while
otliers share it as a prolltatile invest
ment. To niaiulain the high standard
of its |tast forty-one years is Lippin

novels, but altogether. In January
there ;is to lie a fantastic mystery
story, distinctly novel in plot, entitled
••The Flight of Hubert Sevier’*’ by
(■race MacGowan Cooke. There Is
more real humor in this farcical tale of •
a modern Invention than in any re- ;

Charles King will contribute one of
his supremely stirring novels of army
life, "Lanier of the Cavalry, or, A
Week's Arrest.” His past achieve
ments >|sak for tliemselves through
"The Colonel's Daughter,” “Marlon s
Faith,” and numerous other prime
favorites. The plot of this latest novel
Is laid at a frontier fort where witty
women ami brave men are snowed in

extent accountable for the remarkable
happenings. In March the novel will

Making Har Reputation.
A well known young matron of Chi

ament that If she drinks the very

before going to Iwsl the result Is sleep
lessness for the remainder of the night.
Some nights ago u numlier of friends
dropped In for Ihe evening, and the
husband, who. by the way, is a south
erner. suggested that he make a mint
Julep for each of the company. The
suggestion was received with delight,
and the Juleps were promptly mixed.
In his wife's glass, however, he put
otilv enough whisky to flavor the wa

all night long, and it was not uu'il 5
o'clock In the morning that she drop
l>ed o(T to sleep and, as a consequence,
was not called for breakfast.
At 10 o'clock she came downstairs
and bearing the voices of children on
the front |*>rvb stopi>ed ta listen. Her
heart Oiled with motherly pride as she
heard her elder son. ■ hoy of six. tell
ing seven or eight children from the
neightn-rhood that they must not make
too much noise as his mamma was
asleep. Imagine her horror, too. as the
young hojwful added
"She drank so much whisky last
night that she couldn’t come down to

A Lessen In Language.
“An Irish lawyer." said a Texas
judge, “was examining a Mexican.
The questions, after a deal of bullying,
ran like this

One Leg Left.
Itufus < hoate once by overwork had
shattered his health. Edward Everett
expostulated with him on one occa
sion. saying:
"My dear friend. If you are not more
self considerate you will ruin your
constitution ”
“Oil." replied the legal wag. ‘‘the
constitution was destroyed long ago
I’m living on ihe bylaws.”
“Here.”
The.e is In Katherine M. Abbott's
book. "Old Paths anti Legends of the
New England Border,” a little story
whieh illustrates the ltni*ortance of ue
eurate statement. In Say brook. Conn.,
in the days of cottage prater ifieetings
100 years ago n lady directed her serv
ant to go to each neighbor and say
that "Mrs. Bowles will have the prayer
meeting here tonight.”
The servant carried out her Instruc
tions to the letter. “Mrs. Bowles says
the prayer meeting will be here to
night.”
Accordingly each lady arranged her
chairs, put on her best gown, made
ready for the coming of the parson
and stayed at home.
Lasting Effects.
There is nothing Innocent or good
that dies and is forgotten. Let us bold
to that faith or none. An infant, a
prattling child, will live again in the
better thoughts of those who loved it
and will play its part tft-ough them In
the redeeming actions of the world,
though its body be burned to ashes or
drowned In the deepest sea.—Dickens.
The Wrong Costume.
"Your Englishman must always be
correct." said an American author. “He
has a ward role of smooth, sleek, dark
clothes fur town, a wardrobe of knick
ers and thick woolens for Alpine win
ter sports. a wardrobe of flannels for
the seashore, and so on. with other
wardn>l>es for deerstalking, for fox
bunting, fur driving, even for smoking
and drinking.
“I remember once in my early youth
I was shooting over a duke's covers.
