Bew Edition of a Genuine Old FkTorite,
"Jot Miller'i Jeit Book."
COLLECTION MADE NEARLY 200 YEARS AGO
March tmbrr of lb Smart Set la
Dlatlaarnlahecl hy Ikr Kitranrd
laary Variety of Fiction
Composing It.
A new edition of a genuine, ohl favorite,
"Joe Miller's Jest Honk," has been brojght
Out by W. T. Hriideieon, New Y'irk Cuy.
The collection Is said to have been mtde
in J739 by John Mottlcy and published under
the present title. Additions have since been
made to the collection, some of t lie stories
bearing dates as late as 1K26. The present
volume la an unabridged edition of the
original, with an Index added. "Time does
not wither nor custom change" the Infinite
variety of storied Jest ami subtle repartee
between the covers of the book. Though
old enough to be smothered with the duat
of ages, many of them are doing duty
today as original creations and bringing
.tpplause and reputa:lrn to post prandial
wits. A cursory examination revealed
thirty-two bright stories now afloat and
applied to events or people of our day
which had their origin In the eighteenth
century. As a sample take the stock story
. of grand army campfires related as an
actual occurrence In the civil war. It Is
No. 13 in Joe Mlller'a collection of ancient
. chestnuts and reads as follows:
Two sailors, the one Irish, the other
Knglish, agreed reciprocally to take care of
each other In case of either being wounded
In an action then about to commence. It
waa not long before the Englishman's leg
was shot off by a cannon ball, and on ask
ing Paddy to carry him to the doctor, ac
cording to their agreement, the other very
readily complied, but had scarcely gotten
his wounded companion on his bark when a
second ball struck off the poor fellow'a
head. Paddy, through the noise and bustle,
had not perceived hi frlend'a last mis
fortune, but continued to make thi best of
his way to the surgeon. An officer, ob
serving him with his headless trunk, asked
him where he waa going. "To the doctor,"
says Paddy. "The doctor!" says the officer,
"why, blockhead, the man has lost his
head." On hearing this he flung the body
from hla shoulders and looked at it very
attentively. "By my aoul," he stiys, "he
told me It waa his leg. but I waa a fool
to believe htm, for he was always a great
liar."
The March number of Tho Smart Set Is
distinguished by the extraordinary variety
of the fiction composing it a variety that
Is altogether meritorious. In the novelette,
"The Interference of Miss Jane," by Robert
Adger Bowen, one finds an exquisite love
story', chiefly of the south, though some
times the scene is shifted to New York. It
has a real atmosphere, a real plot, real ac
tionIn short, a story that Is both powerful
and fascinating. In contrast to It follows
"Tomorrow at Dawn," by Rose K. Weekea,
a wonderful tragedy of one father's love
for hla child. Again, "The Sentimentalists,"
by Ruth Milne, Is written In lighter vein,
with gentler themo, but equally excellent
of Its kind. Other stories that command
attention and admiration are: "By a
Btrango Road," by Kate Jordan, strikingly
original in Its narrative of a desperate and
loving woman; "Mammon's Match," by
Jamea Branch Cabell, a thoroughly enter
taining piece of Comedy work, and unusu
ally clever; 'The Dlvvil Wagon," by Emest
Jarrold, a mast amusing taJkv. "The Hypo
crite," by Edith Elmer Wood,' a situation
of solemn and compelling strength; "The
Mask of Comedy," by Stanhope ,Samt a
story that Is unique In Its sensational pot;
"The Second Mrs.' Nichols," by fcllxaheth
Knight Tompkins, a singularly ingenious
psychological study, and "The Man ' of
Smiles," an exquisite sketch that breathes
the ah of Parle. In Its entirety this num
ber of Tho Smart Set la a compendium of
the highest value In fiction and In verse.
"The Apex," by Thomas B. Gould, Is de
voted to religious discussion from a very
broad point of view. Mr. Oould, who Is a
man in h!a early 60s, says of himself: "I
have In my day believed almost everything
that others have believed, and now I am
going to know Instead of believe."' This Is
his first appearance as an author, but his
subjects are treated with such seriousness
and devotion as to show deep study and
practical application. The book will well
repay a careful perusal. Richard Q. Badger
Is the publisher.
"A Harmless Revolution; or, A Well
Known Family In Trouble," Is the history
of the trials and tribulations of the "Punc
tuation family of the Knglish language," as
related by Grace Miller White. Kach mem
ber of that family recelvea due considera
tion and the story Is related in a manner
that will be very pleasing and Impressive
to the younger readers, for whose instruc
tion ft Is Intended. The book Is profusely
illustrated and the binding Is very attrac
tive. It Is published by the J. 8. Ogilvle
Publishing Company.
"Random Verse" Is a collection of poetry
from the pen of Herman Knickerbocker
Vlele, who Is the author of "The Inn of
the Silver Moon," "The I-ast of the Knick
erbockers" and "Myra of the Pines." The
subjects treated are numerous and the
book Is an attractive little volume. It is
published by Brentano's, I'nlon square.

FLOCKMASTERJS IN TROUBLE
Man Who Hooaht Nebraska heep
censed of Violating; nr.
antlne Vmrt.
fMETKNNK, Wyo.. Feb. l.-(Spec lal.)
A delegation of Pine Bluffs sheepmen came
to Cheyenne today and filed a complaint
with the State Hoard of 8heep Commis
sioners against Joseph F. Mllllgan of Chey
enne, charging him with bringing a band
of Hcabby sheep Into Lramlo county from
Nebraska. The state board Is Investigating
the matter and will probably prosecute Mll
llgan for violating the state laws.
Members of the firm of Wilkinson Bros,
of line Bluffs allege that Mllllgan pur
chased 700 head of ewes from the Bennett
I,lve Stock company and trailed the ani
mals from Kimball, Neb., to a point near
tho IJttle Horse Creek postomce in this
county on or about January 1: that the
sheep were given to J. L. Johnson to
run on shares and that the sheep were
turned In with a large bunch owned by
the Wilkinsons, which were also being run
on shares by Johnson; and that on Feb
ruary 3 John Wilkinson discovered two
cases of scab among the 700 sheep owned
hy Mllllgan.
The owners claim that the 700 sheep were
dipped twloo before being trailed Into Wy
oming and were pronounced clean.
Mllllgan did not notify the State Board of
Sheep Commissioners of his Intention of
bringing sheep into the state and he thereby
violated the state laws. He also violated
the rule of the board which states that
sheep shall not be trailed or shipped Into
a clean county, and Ln ramie Is one of y
omtng's clean counties.
State and federal Inspectors will go to
IJttlo Horso creek, quarantine the sheep
and treat them.
John Wilkinson threatens to bring suit
against Mllllgan unless the latter makes
satisfactory settlement at once.

ACTION TAKEN IN HONOR OF DEAD LEADER
Reading- of Resolutions Visibly Affects
Members and After Traaaartlna;
Small Amoont of Holiness
Honae Adjoarns.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 -There was an
unusually large number of representatives
In their seats today on the convening of
that body. The usual hum of voices was
notably subdued, ns the topic of conversa
tion related almost exclusively to the
death of Senator Hanna.
Rev. Dr. Couden In his opening prayer
referred feelingly to the death of Senator
Hanna.
Mr. Bonynge of Colorado, who wae seated
yesterday in place of Mr. Shafroth, was
today sworn ln.
Mr. Hemenway (Ind.), chairman of the
house committee on appropriations, re
ported on the part of the managers nf tho
conference report of the urgent deficiency
bill and asked unanimous consent for Its
Immediate consideration.
Mr. Williams (Miss.) the minority leader,
said that In view of the discussion had on
the amendments, and further ln View of the
amendments, he would offer no objection.
The conference report was adopted without
debate or division.
The resolutions adopted by the senate in
forming the house o provision made by
the senate for doing honor to the late Sen
ator Hanna, together with the personnel of
the committee appointed on the part of
the senate, were then announced.
Mr: Grosvenor (O.), after securing unani
mous consent to meet at 11:45 a. m. to
morrow, then offered the following resolu
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That the house of representa
elves ha., heard with profound sorrow of
he death of the Hon. Marcus A.
Hanna,- a eenntor of the Cnlted States
from the state of Ohio.
Resolved, further. That the house of rep
resentatives sccepts the Invitation of the
senate to attend the funeral services of the
late Hon. Marcus A. Hanna, to be
held In the senate chamber tomorrow noon
and that the speaker of the house appoint
a committee of twenty-five members to act
In conjunction with a committee of the
senate to make the necessary arrangements
and accompany the remains to the place
or nnriai.
Resolved, as a further mark of respect.
That the house do now ndjourn.
Speaker Cannon appointed the following
members of the house as a committee to
represent that body during the funeral
of Senator Hanna: The entire Ohio dele
gation anJ Representatives Burkett of Ne
braska, Lucking of Michigan, Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, Watson of Indiana, Burke
of South Dakota, Currier of New Hamp-
hlre, Sherman Of New York, Rodenburg
of Illinois, McCleary of Minnesota, Wiley
of Alabama.
A pathetic Incident attended the reading
of the resolutions. E. L. Lampsnn, the
reading clerk, formerly a clerk of the house
of representatives of the state of Ohio,
and formerly lieutenant governor of that
tate, reported the resolutions to the house.
His reading manifested at once that he was
affected by the passing away of the dis
tinguished cltlsen from his state. It was
only by a great effort that he performed
the task.
When Mr. Lampson finished he sat baclt
In hla chair. His emotion overcame him
and he wept. The house was hushed in
deep silence, when the speaker In soft and
ubdued voice laid the resolutions before
the house and announced theld adoption.
Pome of the members of the house were
visibly affected, and it was with this great
manifestation of sorrow that the bouse ad
journed until tomorrow. .

desist from his labors, and make a special
effort to resist his maladies, but his strong
will power, hopeful nature and fidelity to
duty were such that he disregarded all
such suggestions, and continued at his post
until three- weeks ago. when h

Ills friends then became Justly alarmed
That alarm spread tnroughout the country

William Alden Smith Tells Touching;
Incident of Venator Ilnmin.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-At the White
House today the president and all the at
taches shared In the general sorrow ovar
the death of Sena 'or Hanna. President
Roosevelt, the members of his cabinet nnd
callers of all classes sadly paid tribute to
the memory of the dead statesman. Vrom
the entrance of the lamented McKlnley
Into the White House Senator Hanna was
a conspicuous figure at the executive man
sion. Both before and after he became a
member of the senate Mr. Harna was a
frequent caller at the White House ar.d his
visits have been frequent since Mr. Roose
velt succeeded to the presidency. Presi
dent Roosevelt entertained a cordlnl re
gard for Senator Hanna and the senator
reciprocated that feeling. While they dif
fered at times, as 'strong men may differ,
their personal . reilntlons never were en
dangered by the differences.
William Aldon Smith of Michigan related
at the White House today a touching Inci
dent of a recent conversation he had with
Senator Hanna. He went to Senator
Hanna ln tha senate chamber one day and
invited him to attend as one of the dis
tinguished men of the country the semi
centennial celebration of the founding of
the republican party, to be held at Jack
son, Mich., on July 6 next.
"I don't know where I will be then," was
the senator's pathetic reply to tho invita
tion. "Why, you will be right here, of cour.-e,"
returned Representative Smith, reassur
ingly. "No." replied Mr. Hanna, "I'm afraid I
won't."
"I walked to the rear of the senate cham
ber," said Mr. Smith, "and, looking baclr
at the senator, wondered If he had a
premonition that he might not live long.
The Impression made' by his words never
left me."
At the meeting of the cabinet today the
death of the Ohio senator was lamented
deeply. All the members entertained for
him the profoundest regard and respect.
They decided to assemble at the White
House at or about 11 o'clock tomorrow to
accompany the president to the capltol to
attend the senate funeral services.

WOMEN VOTERS IN THE HOUSE
Ex-Governor Adami Ecgardi Suffrage a
Matter of Eiht and Ju tics.
DOES NOT DETRACT FROM REFINEMENTS
Colorado Woman Kays It Is Sot True
that Feminine Voters Stand
In Line rtlth Profane
Men.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16-Tlie National
Woman's Suffrage association was given a
hearing before the houie committee on the
judiciary today, headed by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, president of the associa
tion. Members of the committee asked the
women speakers from Colorado as to the
reason of Mr. Shafroth's action in resign
ing his schI In the house because of fruit J
at the polls.
Miss Kills Meredith, who made tho first
answer to this question, said the fraudu
lent vote on this occasion was confined to
certain Denver precincts. She exonerated
the women voters from partlciiwtlon. She
said that 55 per cent of the voters of the
stato of Colorado were, men and 45 per cent
women, while 42 per cent of the actual vote
wss the vote of the women.
"Showing." remarked Representative Llt-
tlctield, "that the women vote as fre
quently as the men."
Mrs. Maty C. C. Bradford, also of Colo
rado, said that In testifying to the benefits
of woman suffrage through twenty-seven
states, she had found that the greatest
"bugbear" to lie met with was tho seeming
dread of the word "polls." The gcuerul im
pression whs that the polls were places
where all the good women were compellei
to go and stand In line with all the bad
men who occupied the time In swearing
As a matter of fact, the men met at the
polls were the husbands, bruthcrs and
friends of the women.
Mrs. Helen T. Greenfield, state superin
tendent of schools of Colorado, told of her
experience In running for oflice. She had
canvassed the state se.veral times, and said
she had met with just ns much "chivalry'
as in her school work or In society. As to
the. election frauds, Mrs. Greenfoll asserted
that only one woman "repeater" had been
found.
Kx-Governor Alva Adams of Pueblo gave
the committee his hearty endorsement of
