An experience such as hat of Mon day the 3rd is worth recording, even I cannot tell it with the thrill the oc casion really had. In the first place, I had planned by. all means to attend the opening session ! cf Congress, but the papers said, and opinion among men at the office build • ing was that they would merely con vene and adjourn, in honor of the many members who had died since the last session. So we decided that I should wait until perhaps Tuesday to go. About ten o’clock Bob phoned that I’d better come —so I did—but by the time I got ready and traveled our eleven miles to the Capitol, the mob was ”o dense that one couldn’t get even a peek into the gallery. Mr. Malone immediately hunted up Bob for me, told him my trouble, and he went to the official doorkeeper and asked him if he’d let me into the Executive Sec tion of the Gallery. He said “No,” but Bob said. “Mrs. Longworth’s there,” whereupon he said, “Get her and come along.” So I sat in the back row of the President's Section ,and though there were no members of his family nor of any of the Cabinet there, I felt verv much honored. I spent sometime looking at Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long worth. She is a very fine looking wo man. She was beautifully gowned, but impressed me as little concerned with her appearance. She was the only woman in all that crowd who had re moved her hat. She was greatly in terested in procedings. I read that she is an ardent student of states craft. But of course, the great thing was below—the 415 men moving about for all the world like a bunch of college men back at school in September. Slapping each other on the back, hail ing passersby, visiting, introducing new ones. It was far from offering any appearance of stiffness or awe. And the men are much younger, on the whole, than I had expected to see. Especially was I impressed by the amount of hair visible from above. There is much less in the Senate! On the whole, they look like a friendly, businesslike, earnestly interested bunch of men. Not one presented any appearance of possessing horns or hoofs. I’m sure reports of any such must be exaggerated. Of course, the voting was very exciting, at least to me. Everyone knew how the first ballot would be, with the seventeen so-called “progressive Republicans” voting for their Mr. Cooper, and so making the Republican and Demo cratic nominees for Speaker. Mr. Gillet and Mr. Garrett, practically even. But when it continued almost identically the same for four ballots, it ceased to be exciting. It made one wonder why a few men from one or two states should hold up the bus'ness of a na tion in such a way. Mr. Cooper wa3 moving around below (they all were.) Frequently the clerk pounded for or der, saying that he could not hear the responses to roll call.. I am sure that no 415 women in the world could majte any more noise than those men.) Me is such a fine looking old gentle/nan one could not help believing th#it he was a martyr to the cause he without — ■ 1 — — »*_= doubt believes right. Several things were especially in teresting to me . One of course was the woman member, Mrs. Nolan of California. She was elected to succeed her husband, who died last spring. She was there with her daughter, a ten or twelve year oM girl, both with beauti ful auburn hair. I had to think that it is a lonesome job to be a Congress woman, but of course none of the new men were visiting a great deal either. Another woman on the floor was Mrs. Huck of Illinois, who was a member last session, but was defeated for re election. There were very few whom I recognized, only our own Nebraska members, Mr. Mondell and Mr. Jef feries. but fortunately the talkative old gentleman who sat next to me knew everyone and was glad to tell of them. Otherwise I would have learned and enjoyed much less. On Wednesday I went down to hear the President give his message. Such mobs! The stairways were roped off and only those with tickets allowed to go up. Then to get into the gallery after getting upstairs was a proposi tion. Crowded clear to the door people standing and many turned away with tickets. They say there was an im mense crowd without, hearing by means of the wireless as well as those within. Again it was an intensely interest ing scene, similar to that of Monday. But soon all seats below were filled, even the extra ones brought in. We above were very much surprised to see women occupying seats below where they were not entitled to enter, while many Representatives stood, and Senators sat crowded together un comfortably. They ordered the floor cleared of all but members but none moved. It was wonderful what nerve will do in this world! Mrs. Coolidge came into the Execu tive Section promptly at 12:30, and was hon'-'-ed W everyone’s rising and applaud ;t,~ c"1,e is a fine looking wo man, very nrracious and friendly in her manner. In the Section with her were several ladies, wives of Cabinet mem bers. The President entered, escorted by a committee from the Senate and House, and of course, was given an ovation of some length. It is not nec essary to comment on his speech. It was given in a very firm, convincing manner. The listeners were all very attentive and appreciative, all recom mendations receiving applause, varied in amount and position. At the close there was prolonged applause from everyone. Undoubtedly, the Presi dent's frankness and sincerity won ad miration even in points where the listeners did not agree with him. He gives the inforession of absolutely no grandstand play, but a clear statement of his convictions, regardless of the political effect upon his hearers. GLADYCE W. SIMMONS.

At least it certainly is sec* ondary to the printing of real news about people and things.

T OUNA THAYER stared at the note she found on the table. It was from George, and It told her that he had left her forever. “We both made a mistake," her husband had written. “I quarreled with my father In order to marry you, and gave up everything for your sake. You have not made me happy. Now you can go back to your shop.” That cut her to the heart. When the little shopgirl married the son of the riel) old financier she idealized him. It was quite true that old Thayer had disinherited his son on account of Ids .marriage, had told him never to darken his d ors again. It was an in tolerable affront that his son should have married a girl out of u shop. So George had g<! a Job and an apartment, and they bad struggled along together for about a year. Rut Lorna soon discovered tiie yellow streak in her busballTT. For a while she refused to recognize It. Then she had to. She knew lie was unfaithful to her. She knew that lie was morally worthless. So Iter love died. Still, she would have stayed by him as long us lie needed her. Old Thayer had told George “T have no sou.” lie wrtuld never receive him in his home again on account of ids marriage, fcorna owed George some recompense; she had ruined his life. Yes. she would have stuck to him Now George had left her. Lorna knew very well that he had gone off with another woman. And suddenly sne felt glad, suddenly she knew that she had received a stroke of good luck, not of had. Only there was something George didn’t know about. Lorna find been too proud to tell hirn of that. For ttie soke of the child that was to be she must act. . . . She sat a long while In meditation. Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, George Thayer sat in a hotel room with a rather common-looking young woman of unmistakable type. "Don't you worry about the money. Be'la," he was saying. “The old man will take me back with open amis now that I’m rid of that woman. So long ns I don’t marry you after she’s got her divorce, you understand. lie wouldn't stand for my marrying out of my station.” “Your station!” sneered the woman. "Well, we won’t quarrel over that,” said George good-humoredly. "The old man isn’t a prig. He understands life. He'll he just tickled to death when lie finds out I’ve shaken Lorna. I’m going to see him tomorrow and tell him I’ve got rid of her for good." “Do you mean that. Georgy?” asked the woman. "You just bet I mean It. It’s buck to the shop for hers. She broke my life, dragged me down, ruined me, and I’m through with her for keeps. Only, you understand, kid. I can’t marry you. The oldjnan won’t make any inquiries so long as he understands I’m free. Maybe he'll give Lorna n few hundred to divorce me.” "You'll' write your father you’re coining?" “I’ll send him n wire.” The wire was in Thayer, senior’s hand and the old man was seated In the library of his honffe, awaiting George. The stern face' was carved like granite. It was a year since he had seen his son. Often during that year he had t>een tempted to write to him to ask him to come hack and l>rin: Ids wife with him. Pride had prevailed. The shock of tho telegram had been a great one. Now be was waiting. The doorbell ni%g. Thayer had told the butler that he himself would an swer It. He opened It. George stood outside. “Father, you got my wire? Father, I'm free. I’ve sent that woman hack to the shop where she belongs. I did a foolish thing In letting myself be come infatuated with her. Sh* was a designing person, father, and I guess all she wanted was a share in your money. •Well. I’ve got rid of her for good and all. and she won’t trouble me again. And I’ve come back to live with you, and ask* that bygones may t>e bygones— George’s. Jaw dropped. Ills father stood there, so very uncompromising, so silent. “Is it all right, father?" he asked, less confidently. “1 have no son," said Thayer in nn awful voice. “1 have a daughter—in m.v house. No son. Never darken my doors again. You will be apprised of the divorce proceedings when they are Instituted.” The door closed. His Wonderful Pills. It was a lecture delivered by a learned purveyor of liver pills and Il lustrated by diagrams of the frame of man. “That," he explained, pointing out a totally different spot, “Is where man’s liver Is." “Excuse me,” observed the man In spectacles, “but I am a surgeon, nnt\ that’s not where the liver Is.” “Never you mind where his 'liver is,” retorted the lecturer; "if It was iu Ids big toe or his left ear my pills would read " >nd shake It for him." $10,000 000 Oti.ige in India.

Come now the undersigned resident taxpayers of Holt County, Nebraska, and remonstrate against the estab lishment by the County Board of Su pervisors of Holt County, Nebraska, of a County road, to be described as follows: Commencing at the Southeast Cor ner of the corporate limits of the City of Atkinson, Nebraska, thence running east on the boundary line between Sheridan Township and Atkinson Township a distance of one mile to the Northeast Corner ,of Section 4 Township 29, North, Range 14 West of 6th Principal Meridian in Holt County, Nebraska, and thence running due South a distance of Six miles to the correction line and at the Southeast Corner of Section 33, in Township 29, Norh, of Rangel4, West of the 6th Principal Meridian, thence East to the Northeast Corner of Section 4, in Township 28, North of Range 14 West of the 6th Princpial Meridain, thence South one mile, thence East one mile, thence South a distance of 13 miles to the Southwest Corner of Section 11, in Township 26, North of Range 14 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, thence east along the south boundary line of Section 11, to the town of Amelia, Holt County, Nebraska. Your remonstrators show that the State of Nebraska has decignated by Legislative Act a State Aid road at a point one mile west of the northeast corner of Section 4, Township 29, Range 14, West of the 6th Principal Meridian. That work has been com menced on said road and said road completed a distance of six miles. That on said State Road there has al ready been expended out of the county Road fund of Holt County over $5,000. That there has been erected on said state road bridges for which the County has incurred liability of about $24,000. That it is unjust that the County Board should duplicate this six miles of road. Your remonstrators show that by changing the boundary of the iproposed road and establishing a road as follows: Commencing at the Northwest Cor ner of Section 4, Township 29, North, Range 14 West of the 6th Principal Meridian in Holt County, Nebraska, and thence running due South a dis tance of Six miles to the correction line and at the Southwest Corner of Section 33, Township 29 North, Range 14 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, thence East to the Northeast Corner of Section 4, Township 28, North of Range 14, West of the 6th Principal Meridian, thence South one mile. thence east one mile, thence South a distance of 13 miles to the Southwest Corner of Section 11, in Township 26, North of Range 14, West of the 6th Principal Meridian, thence East along the South boundary line of Section 11 to the town of Amelia.
