TUE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. FKHKLURY 17. 1004. NEW BOORS AND MAGAZINES 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. New York.

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. Seventh May Adrentlsts Meet. SIOUX FALLS, S. V.. Feb. 18.-(SpeclaI.)

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. . SENATE GIVES WAY TO ITS SORROW.

The duty of making the official statement of the senator's death fell to Mr. Foraker, Mr. Hanna's colleague.

The opening prayer waa delivered by the senate chaplain. Dr. Edward Everett Hale. On motion of Mr. Aldrtch. the formality of reading the journal of the preceding day was omitted and Mr. Foraker was recognised to make his announcement. Mr. Foraker said: Mr. President: I have a oalnful itmv t perform. It is that of makln- formal an nouncement to the rl.th 7, ., ,".' colleague, Marcus A.

I j. cause they are chivalrous and generous riiuiisu w rxiwnnc ion-row wnen a brave nan falls, though he be of the nnnniiitnn and because they recognised In him a bold and fearless fooman, who commanded their respect and excite their admiration. It is unnecessary to speak in this pres ence o the great loes hla death has ac casloned to his party, his state and the nation, ah Know it Detter than any lan guage can express It.

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. HOI SE AS n KEJIATR ARK W ACCORD.

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 woman suffrage. It was. ho said, not a question of expediency, but a question of right and Justice. He said he was per sonally acquainted with 10.000 women voters In Colorado, and was prepared to assert that the right to vote did not detract from their womanly lnstlnrts, as mothers and wives, or mar their feminine refinement The delegation was given a hearing by the senate committee on woman suffrage. Final Statehood Hearing. The house committee on territories will conclude all statehood hearings Friday with the argument of Delegate McGulre of Oklahoma for the admission of that terri tory as a state. Today the committee heard D. L. Sleeper cf Lawton, Ok!., ln favor of i-eparate stutehood for the territory; N. K Rummons of Hobart, who also favored statehood, and S. M.
