si i State House Hall A Trys =
ting Place.
The ball of representatives at
the state house has become a sort
of lover's lane the only variation
in the traditional path for affection
ate pedestrianism being that the
seats in the gallery are so close to
gether that walking is impeded and
the billing and cooing couples sit
themselves down in the rear seats
and rehearse , with mighty good
variation , probably , the story that
was old when Helen's smile was
the most precious thing in the
world and when Ilion's towers
were stained with new-laid mortar.
The doors areopen during the day ,
the hall is quiet and its faint ech
oes are seldom disturbed , solitude
in allpathicdoses is promised those
who enter there and hence the
lovefs. ' They come in the spring
and in the summer aud when the
frosts of November have made the
air crisp , while the sunshine still
bears a warmth inside a window.
The legislature occasionally usurps
their places but when the legislature -
ture closes back come the lovers
to assert their ancient rights in
this unsuspected fane.
Last week acouple floated up the
stairs to the third floor and con
tinuing the drift sat themselves
down in the gallery. They were
froii the country. Secure in the
belief that no one knew them and 1
more secure in their affection ,
they sat , all unheeding , with their
arms about each other and their
faces pressed together , the sun
light falling on their heads , mak
ing one halo above their united de
votion , and , to them at least , light
ing up the gloom of the hall like
their affection gilded the dress of f
their own existence. To them no
doubt the whole seance was horrible
rible poetic but an enemy to the
contented life , like an imp cast
from a Venusiau heaven and angered - j
ered at his exile , broke in upon
them.
It was the jinitor
didn't exactly break in on
! them either. Pie merely saw them ,
The tableau was fixed , he surmised.
So he hied himself to every office
in the building where the wheels
of industry were lagging and told
those who like to see the silence
sign hung on the said wheels that
there was something worth seeing
at the end of the hall.
The girls went and the men went.
They Iboked into the hall and gazed
with suppressed merriment or
sighing regret at the happy couple
Girls who wished they were play
ing a part and men who rather en
vied the country visitor gazed.
Girls who sighed at some old mem
ory gazed. Men who remembered
their-courtship looked and smiled
and gazed. And others turned
back to the unplastered hall with
a sturdy laugh. But the couple
in the gallery seats did not know
all this. They were perfectly
happy and the affairs of the world
didn't really bother them.
It is said that one couple became
so attached to the gallery that they
were found early one morning sil
ting on the iron steps waitng for
the janitor to unlock the door that
they might enter the trysting place
and there carry out the loving dia
logue with the proper accompani
ment of soft lights , low music and
quiet spaciousness.
High school girls and important
high sc'iool sophomores , university
lads and co-ods , country visitors ,
all of them one time find the
rendezvous and pay their devotion.
Those who seat themselves in the
rear seats aie hidden from view
until one has penetrated the gallery
some distance. Those who sit
near the railing aiv , of course , in
easy view. It is proposed that a
sliding handicap be arranged so
that those who care not for public
gaze may be rewarded. Spring-
are to be arranged under each row
of seats so that engagement rings
will be brought automatically to
those who choose the rear seats
and completely furnished houses-
with a comfortable income for lifV
.will be set automatically before ,
j those 1 who have progressed far
enough < in their mutual devotion
to take a front seat and blazon
their afl'ection to a peeping world.

Editor Howe of the Atchison
Globe springs the following as a
sample of a wedding notice ten
years hen .e : ' "The bride looked
very well in a traveling-dress , but
all eyes were centered on the
groom. He wore a dark suit that
5
fitted his form perfectly and in his
daintly glove'l hands he carried a
small rose. His curly hair was
beautifully done and a delicate
odor of hair oil of the best quaility
floated down the aisle as he passed.
The young people will miss him ,
now that he is married. Pie is
loved by all for his many accom
plishments , his tender graces and
his winning ways. The bride com
mands a good salary as a book
keeper in St. .Too , and the groom
will raiss none of the luxuries to
which he haslpen accustomed. A
crowd of pretty young men saw
him off at the depot. "
A. O. Williams has commenced
suit in the district court against
the Xeligh llegister , claiming that
his reputation was injured by that
paper during the recent campaign.
Arthur Mullen has been engaged
by the editor and if Williams is
not a sweet scented saint it is dollars
lars to doughnuts that he will be
sorry that he put his character and
standing on exhibition. A country
eJitor may often err in presenting
a political issue and in setting
forth the1 qualifications of candi
dates , but honestly and confiden
tially , dear reader , for every lie
that an editor tells that
may be construed as being
deterimental to candidates , he tells
five hundred lies in their favor.
The good lies go by without a
'thank you' and for the bad lies
they try to put the editor in jail.
Holt County Democrat/ . j
Speaker Gannon a Sub =
servient Tool.
Chicago , Nov. 2--L .Joseph G.
Cannon , Speaker of the House of
Representatives , placed himself on
record yesterday in favor of a re
vision of the tariff in accordance
with the promise of the republi
can party platform , and declared
that so far as his vote was con
cerned he would see to it that the
announced policy of revision would
be written in the national laws as
soon as possible.
On the tariff question Speaker
Cannon said :
' 'Any change in the revenue J 1 1
laws of the country of necessity is !
followed by a depression of busi
ness. Three years ago 1 followed
the lead of Theodore "Roosevelt ,
who declared that there should be
no more revision- the revenue
laws , which means the tariff , until
after the next general election.
His policy was not to change ex
isting conditions.
"The republican platform on
which the national contest has been
won , says revise the revenue laws.
That revision should be with due
regard to protection and penalty
against discriminatory nations. As
a member of the next house of
representatives , a co-ordinate
branch of the government equal to
the executive and the judiciary , I
am , so far as my vote is concerned ,
going to see to it that the policy
of the republican party dn this
question is written in the national
laws as promptly as possible. The
laws should be written promptly
so that business can adjust itself to
changed conditions , for the change
will of necessity bring disturb
ance. " Lincoln Star.
