NEW TALES
THAT ARE TOLD
Must Walk as He Talks.
Senator Martlne of Now Jersey, who 4
st present la highly entertaining tlie
ncnato by his Impromptu speeches in
which the procedure of the seuntc, or
dinarily respected. Is thrown to the
-winds, walks as ho orates. Usually a
senator addressing the senate or In in
terrupting a senator stands by a seat
at best, moving but little from It in the
excitement of his inspiration. But
Martlne cannot maintain himself thu3.
Ho must walk rapidly and for some
distanco as be talks, much after the
manner when ho used to "cradle" his
New Jersey farm, as ho says. So Mar-
tine is a circus to see as well as to
"WZ TONGUE AND LEGS MOVE AT THE
SAME TIMS."
listen to when he feels he must en
lighten some senator who professes to
know more about farming than ho
docs.
And bo accepts the fun with good
grace.
"Why do you walk so?" Senator Bai
ley asked him.
"I cannot help it," replied Martlne.

I have been reproved for this on tho
Btump by an Irishman. Finding me at
it as I am, he shouted:
"Say, nre you walking or are you
talking? If you are walking, then
walk; if you nre talking, then talk. Wo
can't hear you when you walk, and wo
can't boo you when you talk. Quit one
or both."

STATESMEN WITH
BALD DOMES.
Mr. Longworth Not the Only
Matched Congressman.
If an nverago man were forced to
give a quick description of Representa
tive Nicholas Longworth of Ohio It is
ten to one that ho would make refer
ence to the absence of hair on the top
of his head. Representative William
S. Qrccno of Massachusetts sits very
near Representative Longworth in tho
house and also is bald.
Recently a pogo steppod to tho desk
of Representative Greene and said,
"You are wanted on the telephone."
Mr. Greene mado his way to the
booth in tho cloakroom and patiently
"helloed" until ho found that Repre
sentative Longworth was tho man who
-was wanted.
" Why did you send for mo when Mr.
Longworth was wanted?" demanded
Mr. Greene of the attendant.
"no's a new page," explained the
man, "and he got mixed."
"But you told him to get Mr. Greene,
didn't you?" asked tho Fall River rep
resentative. "Well, not exactly," apologized tho
attendant. "You sec, ho doesn't know
all of you yet. I told him to get a bald
headed man, and he brought you."

Ral Thing Didn't 8ult.
Tho following story Is told of Sir
Henry Irving when he produced tho
play "Peter tho Great:"
It appears that at a rehearsal of the
play in question at the Lyceum theater
In London n wonderful climax had
been reached, which was to bo height
ened by tho effective uao of the usual
thunder and lightning. Tbo stago car
penter was given tho order. Tho words
wero spoken, and instantly a noise
which resembled n succession of pis
tol shots was beard off tho wings.
"What on earth are you doing, men?"
shouted Sir Henry, rushing behind tho
scenes. "Do you call that thunder?
It's not a bit llko it"
"Awfully sorry, sir," responded tho
carpenter, "but the fact is, sir, I
couldn't bear you because of the
storm. That was real thunder, sir!"

A Dragon Fly Watch.
We have grown used to watches In
various guises, from tho tiny pendant
not bigger than a locket to the time
piece in an umbrella handle or set in
cardcaso or bracelet. The latest in
watches is an enormous dragon fly in
glittering gold studded with jewels
with n tiny watch bidden under one
of its wings. This Is worn as a pend
ant. It's Old Gilt Now.
. The quest of tho collector Is directed
nowadays toward objects of ol'd gilt,
which thirty or forty years ago were
often to bo seen decorating milady's
toilet table.
One of the Illustrations shows a
handsome specimen of old gilt, a pine

Is of pressed glass. The whole piece
Is most attractive and unusual.
Tho other article pictured is a trin
ket stand, a tripod supporting three
dull glass eggs of a lovely robin's
egg blue, each surrounded by a nest
made of gilt wires. Every separate
wire is wrapped round and round with
another wire. All these aro quite Inde
pendent of each other and ore heavily
coated with 18 carat gold.
Such an ornament now adorns the
dressing table of a young girl whoso

for neckpieces. Moleskin, almost as
prohibitively in price as sable, is gain
ing popularity in Europe. Ermine nnd
chinchilla are always in demand for
dressy garments, nnd, with tho craze
for black, Ferslau lamb is advancing
even more in fashion. Linings, how
ever, will como in delicate shades of
violet, yellow, coral and cream.
Tho Coming Season's Furs.
In muffs and scarfs a rich looking
long haired fur is used. As to whether
tho coats will bo long or short opinion
differs, and milady must decide for
herself. The long coat expresses lux
ury and elegance. Tho short coat is
much more smart and, while not so
rich looking, is also not so expensive,
HUMOR OF THE DAY
How to Clean House.
Ilouseclcanlng time is dreaded Just- i
ly by a great many people, but the
thouRhtful husband may get It
through with in short order. Washing
windows, for Instance, is always gone
about In such an awkward way, tho
windows being washed in statu quo, so
to speak. A simpler way is to take tho
windows out and send them to the
laundry.
Dusting the pictures is also usually
attended with much hard work. A
quick and simple pl'au Is to take hold
of the frame firmly nnd swing the pic
ture back nnd forth, hitting it sharply
against tho wall each time. This dis
lodges the dust, which falls to the
floor nnd may easily bo swept up.
If you have no vacuum cleaner you
may improvise one with an old bicycle
pump by attaching a funnel to the
nozzle. Then work tho pump back
ward, so that instead of forcing the
air out it will be drawn in. The rugs
may soon bo cleaned in this way.
Washing tho woodwork Is another
futile procedure. Simply get a few
gallons of paint and paint over the
griino on the woodwork.
To repollsh the hardwood floors take
your wife's manicure buffer and sit
down in a comfortable position and
go to work. You will be surprised at
what a pleasant way this will bo to
while away tho evenings. Judge.
Why He Hated a Coward.
Miss Grace Strachan, president of
the Teachers' Association of New
York, was being congratulated on her
successful fight for equal pay for
women teachers.
"It is odd," said Miss Strachan,
smiling, "but tho men who most
earnestly opposed equal pay were men
of tho so called chivalrous type tho
type that says woman should be pro

In Search of His Home.
A peaceable resident of West Sixty
fifth street, New York, was rudely
awakened from sleep last week at
about 2:30 a. m. by a loud ring at his
doorbell.
Throwing open the window, ho stuck
his 'head out and in no very pleasant
manner demanded to know what was
wanted.
"Scuso me, sir," answered a mud
dled voice. "Does Jones hlchlc

"Jones?" said the party addressed
angrily. "Of courso not. What the
devil do you mean by ringing people's
bells nt this time of morning? Who
are you, any way?"
"Who 'm I?" asked the disturbed, ap
parently surprised at not being recog

"How original! And so you won?"
"No," ho replied absently; "I lost."
