Ilonry Ureckenrldge, assistant Rocrotary of war, found out the other day that the rules of tho houso iIoob not admit to the floor tif Blatant secretaries, ocn though tlioy nro for the tlmo acting cablHot ofllcorB. Mr. Ureckenrldge Is very much In "I am tho assistant secretary of war," said Ureckenrldge. "In fact, today 1 am tho acting secretary of war," "That does not entltlo you to tho Iloor privilege," responded Mr, Ghormley. "I have been told that I can go In," persisted Mr. Ureckenrldge. "It Is against the rules of tho house," responded Mr. Ghormley "If you nant sonio one of more authority 1 will send for tho chief doorkeeper" Mr Ghormley Bont n pago to hunt up Joseph P. Slnnott, chief doorkcopor. The boy could not find him. At this point Heprosentatlvo Oscar Underwood passed by. "If you are waiting for someone you mny go to my ofllce," said Mr. Under wood v "I wish you would find out whether I can go In," Insisted Mr. Ureckenrldge. "I do not lntond to bo subjected any further to such Indignities, young man; give me your name." Mr. Ureckenrldge took the namo and went nway. Tho rules of tho house admit only cabinet members, and it was agreed Mr. Ghormley was acting within his rights. Wrong Man, but Got Gall-Down Just the Same REPRESENTATIVE V. J. CAUY of Mllwaukoo, Wis., Is considorcd a very busy man. It is only occasionally that ho can steal away and forgot that he is in the capital of his country, representing ono of her great states. On one such ovonlng, recently, ho at tended a stag party, and did not got back to his hotel until some time aftor midnight It was Saturday night, or, rather, Sunday morning, and ho slipped into bed with a sigh of relief at tho thought that ho could sleep all day if ho liked. About sevon o'clock tho telephone bell rang, startling him out of the nicest rest ho had had for weeks. So It was not with a very pleusant voice that ho said: "Hello ' "Hello " answered central. There's lloston " "Hoston?" was tho astounded reply. "Somebody from UoBton calling mo? You must bo mlBtakon " "Hello! Hello!" came Impatiently from Boston, and, without waiting for response, lnunched Into a tirado of abuse "You're the man that got up on tho house floor tho other day and de clared that the Hoston tea party was ono of thoso historical fakes; that our ancestors wcro nil drunk at tho tlmo oh?" "No, madam. I assure you that you aro mistaken. I'm not the man. You liave tho wrong mnii. I say " Hut shrill oJaculatlonB that ho was tho man nnd ho needn't deny It Interrupted. "Uut, madam, you aro only spending a lot of money to tell me of some thing I ' "I don't enro how much money I spend, I wanted to have tho pleasure of denouncing you you, who aro trying to bo mayor of Hoston. Yes, you're a fine man to bo our mayor, now, aren't you?" "I don't know, as I am not aspiring for tho honor. 1 am Representative Cary and I live In Wisconsin, when I can, and am at home " "Oh, oh oh, I nm so sorry! Oh, you Just don't know how sorry I am, sir! I wanted to talk to Representative Curley. You know ho Is " "Yes, madam, 1 know ho Is running for chief official of your city.

This, nnd tho various lines of study thnt tho mon could study. It was both Interesting nnd amusing, ho says, to see the expressions on tho old soa dogB as they hoard tho courses outlined and dis cussed tho studies they wore going to pursue Tho real spirit of the work, howovor, ho Bald, began to manifest ItBOlf whon "school cull'' sounded on tho following day and tho mon went to tholr class rooms. "Tho enterest that was developed on tho part of the men wns amazing," Mr Roedor said. "It so happened that a night or two aftor tho work began 1 stood u mid-wntch with one of tho Junior otllcors and In coming down tho quarters I hoard two men talking in subdued but earnest tones. Ono man Bald to tho other: 'Why, you fool, four tlmoB olght Is thirty-two. Ain't you never going to learn that?' And It struck mo that If tho educational plan had gripped men sufficiently to keep them ut work botween 1 and 2 o'clock in tho morning on simple Bums In arithmetic It was going to prove of real value to tho personnel of tho lloet." Rep. Kahn Says Japanese Girls Like Fat Men THE writer of tho popular song. "Nobody Loves a Fat Man," ought to go to Japan nnd leum his error. So nays Representative Julius Kahn of Cali fornia, who Is very far from being a "lightweight' champion when It comes to ndlposo tlbsue. Mr. Kahn is 'a great traveler and haB found his bIzo of Bomo disadvantage in foreign coun tries when it comes to tho matter of transportation, for In China tho men who carry passengers In chairs al ways get twico tho number of oarrlors when ho goes out on a trip. It was tho Bnmo wny In other Oriental lands; evorywhero ho hnd to pay doublo. In Japan, however, ho mot his re ward. In tho land of thu chrysanthe mum fat Is regarded as a sign of beauty, nnd Is an object greatly to bo wished for by the men. Ono ovonlng Mr Kahn and his wlfo wero at a bazar. Strolling about they finally pausod before the booth of a fair muldeu, Tho girl gazed with admiration on tho Imposing figure of tho American representative and at last ran out from behind tho table, throw hor arms around his neck and burst out Into exclamations of delight. "Oh, how nice!" she cried In broken English. "Nlco and fat!" proceeding to bestow n series of most emphatic hugs on tho object of her admiration. Mrs. Kahn burst into laughter and the representative hastened to extricate hlnibelf and hie away from the bulldlnv TRIDW rJDSSDLP terested in tho tolls debate and tho other afternoon eturtrd to walk past William Ghormley, assistant door keeper, who guards tho portuls at tho HoutlieuRt entrance Mr Ohormley put up his hands as a sign to Mr llreckenrldgo not to enter. "I am entitled to enter," said Mr llreckenrldgo stiffly. "How's that?" asked Mr. Ghormley courteously. In subslanco, is tho report of Georgo A, Rocdor, shipboard secretary of tho Young Men's Christian association, assigned to tho Atlantic battleship fleet, mado public by tho navy depart ment.

A British subject named J. L. Innes was hunted through tho mountains about Oaxaca with a prlco on his head. British Vice-Consul Bodmer was shot dead on hlB own balcony while trying to save a Mexican. Mr. Benlo uib shot by bandits on his farm near Mexico City. There wero soveral other killings of Drltish subjects of humbler posi tion. A Mr. Burnnnd's factory was twlco plundered and ho was severely wound ed by tho robbors, so thnt ho lost an arm: his wlfo went mad from the shock. Financially, too, British subjects Buffered greatly through theso throe I years. Claims submitted by British subjects to their legations up to April I 28, 18G1, amounted to $18,000,000 for such outrages ns "forced supplies," "stoppage of factory," "plunder, death and mutilation," "Imprisonment and ' Bonteuco of death," and almplo plun-' der.

When I hear a man call him self a prohlbltionmrogrosslvc-Demo-crnt I don't know what kind of an ani mal that is. It also grates on my' norvos to hear a man style himself ai radical Democrat.
