fvar negotiations between the faction!
on Hi democratic side of th house have
progresfd so far that there I now accord
on every hand and the prominent mem
ner of , the minority ar working more
harmoniously than at any time during the
present seoalon.
L'ntll recently It looked an though the
derrmcrata would be hopelessly divided In
the event that they trained control of the
next house. The. fight on the rulei made
at the. beginning of the present congress
In which twenty-three' of the democrats
Joined the. republicans In voting against a.
committee on committees divided the ml-
norlty Irito two) factions, une headed by
Champ Clark and the otner by Represen
tative John J. Fltxgorald, of New York.
The minority leader long ago patched up
whatever differences he had with the dem
ocratic" Insurgents, but many of his fol
' lowers from the south continued to harbor
a feeling of Intense resentment and re
fused to be placated.
The prospect of a democratlo house with
a fight' within the ranks did not appeal to
Mr. Clark or to Renresentatlve Underwood.
r "t 'j .
ff The prospect. ,oC .a dornpcratlo house also
nerved to-mke Clark and his friends lose
. a considerable amount of their enthusiasm
about, the proposition to create a committee
on committees. Hence peace negotiations
were started, and it Is now declared that
' the hatebet haa been burled and the twenty-three
democrats have been assured that

The Tired Business Man
BT WALTER A. SI.VCLAIR.
"I see the Oaekwar of Baroda Is coming
here again," observed Friend Wife.
"Another one of those summer revivals?"
asked tbe Tired Business Maq. "Let's see,
who wrote the libretto? 01, that' so! He's
a regular' fellow, isn't he? I believe he Is
the person of whom the impassioned poet
dashed off these Immortal lines, somewhat
to wit:
"Oh, the Oaekwar of Baroda.
Shaded much like chocolate nod a.
Now Is coming to our nation with his comic
opera name.
He 'has no dance innovation.
To surprise and shock the nation,
He'a a . personage of station, but he gets
there Just the same."
"Don't ask me whose immortal lines they
are, because I'm so bad at remembering
names I sometimes forget my own. But
to return to the- July old Oaekwar, who U
standing In the wings waiting for the fea
tured 0how girl with. one line and an auto
mobile to say, 'Three cheers for the merry
Old Oaekwar, for here he Cornea now!' I
recollect him distinctly. He is the party
from the land where married ladies have
a tattoo mark the size of a nickel on their
foreheads. Over here if the custom ob
tained, with repeats on each encore wed
ding, some of our dames by wsy of Reno
would look like they suffered from freckles
or measles.
"I am not exactly sure where Baroda Is.
Somewhere stuck up on the sunny side of
the Himalayas, probably, where one falls
a couple or miles If Ills foot slips. If Thibet
Is the roof of the world then posBlbly
Interesting Bits
Attractive looking curtains are fashioned
from the allover filet In the square de
signs. The edges are trimmed with Cluny
lace about two Inches wide and an Inser
tion of this lace Is set in teur inches from
the lace edge.
Any person who knows how to sew, or
even baste, could make these curtains, as
the lace Is laid on flat and may be sewed
by the machine and thua save fully half of
the cost of the ready made.
These draperies are desirable for use In
rooms where elaboration is not wanted, yet
where simple curtains of crlm or muslin
would not be sufficiently Important. ,
How much 1 should like to-, see a real
German kitchen presided over by a real
German housekeeper!
They must be perfect. If one may Judge
from the attractive furnishings one sees in
the shops, which,. J am told, are bought
solely by German housewives.
No oilcloth strips for their closets' Linen
Is none too good, and even this must be
decorated before It Is approved of.
These strips come in sets of two or three
and cost from $1.50 to !.W.
One set, however, will laat a lifetime.
The edge of the strip is scalloped and
worked in buttonhole etitch with red cot
ton, guaranteed fast, even to boiling. Above
It is a border of mottoes (at least I take
them to be such), embroidered In cross
stitch.
If one wishes to do the decorating
stamped strips measuring one and one-half
yards in length can be bought , for IL25 to
II W per set.
Tho draperies used In kitchens where
closet room la small for concealing pots
and pans struck me as being sufficiently
decorative for a living or dining room.
These resemble short curtains and are
stamped In floral effects (conventional),
panel designs, borderlngs, etc., each and
all attractive. . , .
Sinoa cross stitch Is such a fasltonable
form of fsnry work, home embroiderers
might like to know about a little book that
la published on this subject.
It costs only t6 cent and contains 500
patterns of cross etitch In alphabets, bor
ders, . floral designs, landscapes, figures of
children, buildings, such as churches arid

"HliRB HE COMES."
Baroda is the attic. By standing on the
family trunk and looking out through the
scuttle the Oaekwar can probably see the
D'lal Lama being unavoidably d'laid.
"Be that as It may, he probably ran out
of rubber soled shoes and couldn't keep
his footing at home, so "he's cdming over
here to see all the sights that are not in
his principality. Although the opera sea
son is over he will be reminded of Barodan
styles by the roof garden shows, where he
can see classical dances and those requir
ing real clothes.
T
of Information for the Women Folks
mals, edgings, Insertions, wreaths, motifs,
patterns for quilts, collars, yokes,' shawls,
emblems and headings.
In fact, it is complete.
In addition to all these patterns for cross
work, there are lace designs.
' One of the daintiest fabrics among the
season's novelties is the allover Persian
design printed on white and black net. It
Is used for over draperies, the long, loose
blouses which almost completely veil the
gowns worn underneath. It Is employed
on millinery. , . ,.
-A hat which was Touch admired. recently
in one shop, showed a full crushed crown
of printed whlto net, with brim of flowers
closely massed together and following the
line ot color In the printing.
Thus there were dead leaf browns, faded
pinks and blues, paler soft green and dull
old rose tones.
The square Dutch neck. Is a serious rival
to the sailor collar as a finish to bathing
suits this seasoh. On the beach the latter
la undoubtedly the more Jaunty looking,
but In the water and Indeed after the wet
tingthe neat square neck is the most de
sirable. A bathing suit of good mohair (black and
blue) made In semi-princess fashion, the
full, plain skirt trimmed around the bot
tom with a band of white mohair, outlined
with black and white fancy braid, would
be serviceable. A well shaped panel placed
down the front, and the belt to correspond
with the skirt trimming would be a desir
able finish. The square neck finished with
a broad band of the mohair, trimmed with
three rows of the braid. Tho sleeves puff.
Mothers will like to know' about smart,
practical suits that can be bought for $1
in several shops.
A Russian suit of galatea'. navy or cadet
blue stripes alternating with white. The
blouse buttoned down the left side, and a
aide box pleat arranged down center front
a novel feature, and better for wear also,
as It can be let out aa the child grows. Is
attractive and practical for dally use.
The second style la' also of galatea. In
combinations of red and whits, navy and
white, and tan 'and white. Though In
blouse effect, the neck finished ' with a
sailor collar, displaying a mbite shield.

Tells Friend Wife the Gaekwar Is
Waiting His Entrance Cue.
"He will find the same populace which, at
the time of his last visit, was feverishly
trying to put some high financiers into Jail
now Just as frantically attempting to pry
them out.. He will witness the quaint spec
tacle of a president, handicapped by weight,
trying to io.ik dignified as tie dodges the
bricks hurled by those who 'wish him to
echo . his predecessor, .and likewise evade
the vegetables from those who think he
should use hla .own stuff.
"The Gaekwar will get liere In time to
see the two greatest fighters exhaust the
dictionary. In Pittsburg he will actually
find a number of politicians In Jail, while
elsewhere he may observe thousands ot
them out; he'll find the Balllnger-Plnohot
controversy hearing, although everyone else
has forgotten about it; he'll discover wom
en's foreheads and waists higher and Dutch
necks lower; that Oovernor Hughes Is atlll
calling extra sessions; that Helnse Indict
ments are still being quashed; that men's
hats and women's hatpins are worn longer
owing to the cost of living; that the man
higher up' has just gone upstairs again;
that food end rents keep ascending, al
though aeroplanes don't; that T. R. can
articulate; and, if It was a presidential
year, that Bryan would be still running
very still.
"He has the finest diamonds In , the
world," asserted Friend Wife.
"Excepting Forbes field, Polo ground and
a few others of the National and American
leagues," corrected the Tired Business Man.

Things You Want
The eighth annual convention of the
American Institute of Banking a ill meet
Wednesday In Chattanooga. Education in
the general principles and technique of
banking la the prime purpose of the organ
isation which la composed of bank clerks
and junior bank officers, no one above
the rank of assistant cashier being eligible
for active membership. The institute has
fifty-seven local chapters In as many cities
having an aggregate membership of D.7M.
Its activities are not limited, however,
to cities sufficiently large to support local
chapters, and the Institute maintains cor-respondem-e
chapters, having a member
ship of 1.1SS bank clerk and officers In
the smaller citiea and in the country.
The Institute maintains a regular course
of study, embracing subjects pertaining to
banking, commercial law, and kindred
subjects. Diplomas are given to graduates
of this course. The local chapters make a
feature of debates, In which a general ex
change of views on practical subjects Is
permitted, and In which the men have the
advantage of training In public speaking.
The practical benefits of the Institute are
Indicated In the statement of a prominent
banker that among young banking men In
the last few years more than 90 per cent
of the promotions have gone to men
actively Interested In Institute work. The
organization has none of the character
istics of a trades union, undertakes to
establish no rules or regulations cencern
lng compurgation, and exercises no CBerclve
Jurisdiction whatever. It simply Is an In
stitution for the promotion and dissemina
tion of knowledge of practical banking,
combined with certain advantages ot social
Intercourse among the younger banking
men of the community.
The first annual convention met In Cleve
land (n 19011. and the organisation was then
known as the American Institute of Bank
Clerks. The convention of 1906, which met
at Atlantic City, decided to change the
name to the present title of the American
Institute of banking. This, action was
taken on account of the general growth
of interest in the organisation, the fact
that Junior officers were, included In the
active membership, and the great Influx
of older banking men who Joined as sus
taining members. Since that time the scope
of the Institute has been broadened prac
tically to Include all banking men who
are Interested In Its educational features.
The Institute Is a section of the American
Bankers' association, comparable to the
clearing house and the savings bank sec
tions.' At the last meeting ot the Ameri
can Bankers' association It was proposed
that the monthly Journal of the American
Bankers' association be consolidated with
the monthly bulletin of the American
Institute of Banking. This action probably
will be ratified by the Chattanooga con
vention, and In the future the official
organs ot the two organisations will appear
together. This consolidation will be ot
mutual benefit, aa it will bring the ag
gressive educational work of the young
banker and the mature deliberation ot
the older and controlling bankers Into co
ordination. ..Thai bulletin of .'.he . institute contains
each month several paper by prominent
banker discussing tbe general prlnolple
of the banking business, In addition to a
department devoted to praotlcal, every-day
banking routine. There la also a depart
ment devoted to commercial and banking
law. Each local chapter has a monthly
report In (hs bulletin.' Tha local chapter
usually maintain a chapter house, used
exclusively lor their own meeting, and,
to a certain extent, club features are In
troduced. Perhaps one of the most useful services
of the Institute 'has- been Its practical
training of young men In publlo speaking.
The forum of the local chapter afford an
opportunity for the youngest clerk to. enter
into forenalo disputation with his fel
lows and his superiors, and he dis
card hi natural handicap of timidity
upon the actual battlefield. A little
later, when the clerk of today "has
become the banker of .tomorrow, he will
be equipped for his work by a readiness
of speech which could not otherwise be
obtained.
The social features of the local chapters,
while subordinated to the serious business
of the institute, are of great value in
bringing together the younger banking ele
ment of each city. The Ignorance of Iso
lation Is thus dispelled by giving th men
a broader view of their own life' work
than can be obtained within the narrow
confine of the. four wall of any one bank.
Furthirmore. bank clerk are hard working
young meh. for the most part erlously
devoted to their . business, and social rec
reation with other member of the clan Is
ot great benefit to them.

Why Men Bhoald Please Their Wires.
Apparently there are come men in the
world who would not be likely to live long
If by any possibility they should be be
trayed Into praising their wives. The man
ot this description Is a self-sufficient crea
ture, who evidently believes that creation
was Instituted for his benefit. He is a
little surprised and a good deal annoyed
that things were not arranged more to his
liking, but h tolerates the arrangement,
not because he approves of It, but oecaus
he cannot help It.
The wife ot this man Is a woman whnin
no old maid should envy. And no old maid
should ever marry this nun when his wife
is worn uiit and laid in the grave; if she
does she will regret it to her let.Mt (lay
that Is, unless shs has backbone o put the

A feature of the. Chattanooga conven
tion will be the prise eessy contest. There
are eighteen entries In the contest for th
prise offered by the Institute for the best
tssay on the proposed central bank of the
t'nlted Ptates. There are other contests
on more technical subjects and slso a con
test with numerous entries for the Chap
man prise In extemporaneous speaking.
The prises In those contents will be
awarded by committees of eminent bank
ers, lawyer and educator. The contest
have been arranged t.nder the supervision
of George K. Allen, educational director
of the Institute, who also Is In charge of
the Institute course of study.
Another, feature of tbe convention will
be a session devoted to a symposium of six
practical banking questions. The practical
nature of those discussions Is indicated by
the subJeots-' Wh-at Is the Best System of
Handling Transit Items?" "The Troblem
of the Exchange Charge which Arises In
the Collection or Country Checks"; "Sug
gest a Plan for a Clearing House of
Credit Information in Each Locality";
"Advixable Changes In the National Bank
Statement," and other of th ame gen
eral nature. -
While the rf-nvcnllon will hear several
speeches by prominent banker and pub
llo men, the greater, part of the discus
sion will be solely In the hand of th six
hundred actual working clerks and Junior
officers attending as delegate represent
ing the local and the correspondence chap
ters. The kenynote of the meeting will be
practicability.
At Its convention In Seattle last year,
the Institute declared by resolution that it
paramount object Is to maintain a recog-
niit standard of ' education in canning
and finance and commercial and banking
law, by means of a uniform course of In
struction, official examinations and the Is
suance of certificates. To qualify student
for examination, the Institute provme
courses of study through alliances with
universities and correspondence school
such as have aceommodatod their facilities
in meet the reaulrements of th institute.
Thus In cities where suitable chool ot
banking and finance and law are situated.
arrangements are made for the conduct of
