“Now there are some gentle

of this because the President
tell them to do so. Let me
quote you a line or two from a
very distinguished leader of
your party on the subject of
following the President’s will
instead of your own judge
ment. Secretary of State Bry
an was a member of this house
in 1893, when a special ses
sion of congress was here for
the purpose of considering the
repeal of the Sherman silver
act. Mr. Bryan said on the
floor of this house:
“ ‘To whom are we respons
ible? It is before the tribunal
established by our constituen
cies, and before that tribunal
only, that we must appear for
judgement upon our actions
here. When we each accepted
a commission from 180,000
people we pledged ourselves to
protect their rights from in
vasion and to reflect their wish
es to the best of our ability,
and we must stand defenseless
before the bar if our only ex
cuse is ‘He recommended it.’ ”

HADLEY - - ALASKA
ST. LOUIS_AS_A VILLAGE.
In 1767 It Had Forty-five Houses and
•• Many Families.
Captain Philip Pitman, an officer In
the engineering corps of the British
army, was selected by General Gage
In 1707 to make an expert report on
the territory just acquired from France
on the east side of the Mississippi riv
er. Pitumu came to the Mississippi
valley, the Illinois country it then was
called, and traveled about for several
mouths. Here is what he wrote of St
Louis in the early part of 1707:
“This village is one league and a half
above Ivaoquias, on the west side of
the Mississippi, being the present head
quarters of the French in these parts.
It was first established In the year
1704 by a company of merchants, to
whom M. D'Abbadle had given an ex
clusive grant for the commerce with
the Indian nations on the river Mis
soury, and for the security and en
couragement of this settlement the
staff of French officers and the com
missary were ordered to remove here,
upon the surrendering of Fort Char
tres (forty miles south of St. Louis on
the Illinois side) to the English, and
great encouragement was given to the
inhabitants to remove with them, most
of whom did.
“The company has built a large
bouse and store here, and there are
about forty-five bouses and ns many
families. No fort or barracks are yet
built. The French garrison consists
of a captain commandant, two lieuten
ants, a fort major, one sergeant, one
corporal and twenty men.’’—St. Louis
Times.
CURING SLICE IN GOLF.
An Expert Suggests Some Remedies
For a Troublesome Habit.
Tbe slice is unfortunately a common
fault at golf, destroying all bope of
accuracy as well as distance in tbe
drive. The remedy becomes obvious
as soon as tbe cause of slicing Is thor
oughly understood. That it is due to
a horizontal rotation of tbe ball in its
flight is unquestionable, from tbe an
alogy of the curved ball in baseball.
Tbe question is as to bow this motion
of rotation is imparted to tbe ball.
The remedy lies either in eliminat
ing tbe twist of tbe wrists or in com
pensation for It by turning tbe club
In tbe bands while addressing tbe ball,
if you are a confirmed slicer turn the
club in tbe bands so that the face
slants sharply inward while the hands
and arms are otherwise held in the usu
al position. Address the ball with tbe
club in this position and then swing
as usual. You will be agreeably sur
prised to see a straight ball or a pull.
A few trials will serve to determine
the position of tbe club in addressing
the ball which will give the desired
straight shot.
All tbe curves, tbe slice, tbe pull and
tbe rise are sharply emphasized in long
shots. Tbe sharp, hard blow of a rapid
stroke sets up a much more rapid rota
tion of tbe bail just as in the billiard
shots.—E. K. Stuart in Outing Maga
zine.
Formation of Ice.
The cause assigned for the fact that
water freezes only for a comparatively
small space at the surface of rivers or j
ponds is thus explained. Scientists an- j
thoritatlveiy declare that water Is at
its heaviest when it reaches 40 degrees |
F.—that is. 8 degrees above freezing j
point. On a frosty night, as each top
layer of water falls to 40 degrees it
sinks to the bottom, therefore the
whole pond has to drop to 40 degrees
before any of it can freeze. At lengtb
it is alt cooled to this point, and then
ice begins to form. But Ice Is a very ;
bad conductor of beat, therefore it
shuts off the freezing air from the
body of warmer water underneath
The thicker it gets the more perfectly
docs It act as a greatcoat and that is
why even the Arctic ocean never
freezes beyond a few feet in thickness.
An Untouched Subject.
In L’Esprit des Frnncais Is an in
stance of the sharp, biting wit for
which Alexis Pirou, the French epi
grammatist, was famous.
A young author whose ability was
by no means equnl to bis conceit was
discoursing at Icngtth upon the merits
of bis work.
"I am tired of writing of that of
which the others write,” be said. "1
want to create an original work, some
thing that no one has ever written
about or ever will write about.”
Piron turned quickly to the speaker.
“Why not write your own eulogy?” be
said.
Very Sweet Word*.
"Are there any sweeter words in the
English language.” musingly inquired
Professor Swiggs. "Ilian ‘1 love you?’ ”
"Well," grimly remarked the pessi
mistic bearer, "1 understand that some
authorities regard There’s that money
I owe you’ as about the epitome ot sat
isfactory sentences."—New York Globe.
Chinese Cabbage Seed.
Kape seed is termed by the Chinese
trade “cabbage seed." while Chinese
farmers style it "cabbage oil seed." As
grown in Loongwnh district, near
Shanghai, it yields L'OU catties lequal to
1.000 ponndsi an acre when the soil is
favorable.
Social Scale.
"Pa," said Freddy, "what is a social
scale?"
“Generally speaking." replied pa,
"it’s a place where they weigh money.’’ j
Why, Indeed?
"Mamma.” said I.ittle Willie, "why
does the minister always say •lastly' In
the middle ot his sent on?”- Woman’s
