OILMIIIII SENIORS ME HOI SEIKO
John Sharpe Williams Is Declared the
Leader of the Minority—Old Rules
Are Adopted—President's Message
Received Tuesday
WASHINGTON \ succession ot
brilliant scenes characterised the open-
ing of the si*tieth congress.
The striking scenes of the day were
In the house of representatives where
the formal election of Joseph Q. Can-
non, who agiiln bocauio spealcer of
that body, and designation by the dem-
ocrats of John Sharp Williams aj
tbelr leader, were occasions for ova-
tions for those gentlemen The vast
hall of the house uf representatives
rang with the cheers of republicans
and democrats for their leaders, and
the speaker received as warm a recep-
tion from the minority as he did from
his own party.
The appearance of William J Bryan
on the floor of the house also was the
rcoaslon for enthusiastic cheering by
the democrats.
When the adoption of rules for the
government of house during the six
tleth congress came up the rules ot
the last congress were opposed by
John Sharp William*, and he was
Joined In the opposition by democrats
and by a single republican. Mr Cooper
of Wisconsin The old rules were de-
clared to be too autocratic, placing too
much power in the h inds of the speak
er, but after a somewhat acrimonious
rliscuaalon they were adopted by a
party vote.
Committees were appointed by both
houses to Inform the president that
congress had met. aid was ready to
receive any message he might *lsh to
communicate.
Naw senators and representatives
were sworn In and both houses ad-
journed out of respect to the memory
of members who have died during the
recess of congress.
There recently entered the service
©f a Cleveland family a domestic of
Scandinavian origin. She had never
seen a refrigerator before, and the
lady of the house, after initiating her
Into its mysteries. Instructed her
never to leave anything old or left
over In the Ice-box. but to keep the
refrigerator perfectly clean and fresh
by throwing the old things away each
morning.
The very next day the mistress,
looking out of the window, observed
something peculiar In the yard.
• What Is that. Sophie?" she asked.
-And bow did it get there?"
"That is old Ice. ma'am." was the
proud response, "left over from yes-
terday. 1 Crew it away lake you tol*
me."—Harper's Weekly.
SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES.
Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair
All Came Out—Cured in Thrse
Weeks by Cuticura.
"After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with sealy
sores about as large as a penny. They
were Just as thick aa they could be.
My hair all came out. I let the trou-
ble run along, taking the doctor's blood
remedies and rubbing on salve, but It
did not seem to get any better. It
stayed that way for about six months:
then I got a set of the Cuticura Reme-
dies. and In about a week 1 noticed a
big difference, and in three weeks it
was well entirely and I have not had
the trouble any more, and as this was
seven years ago, 1 consider myself
cured. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion,
Neb.. Aug. 25, 1906."
EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
This Servant Girl Was Evidently a
Person of Resource.
As a source of humor the Irish ser-
vant girl has long since fallen from
her high estate, a result probably due
to the better class of young women
from the Emerald Isle who come here
annually to help confuse the eternal
"servant girl question." But now and
again one of the old. naively ignorant
sort turns up in a New York house-
hold. as was demonstrated the other
day to a caller at a house oa the West
Side.
The girl who responded to the bell
was asked if her mistress was at
home To this inquiry she surprised
the caller by putting her arms behind
her back and replying in a rich
brogue, as she thrust her face toward
the caller: "Put th' tickets in me
mouth, ma'am, an' I'll go an' see. Me
hands is wet."—X. Y. Press.
Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those who question
the fact of its superiority. During the
past season it has been shown that
in grain raising qualities it possessed j
the very best. The late spring pre-
vented grain being sown in many I
cases before the middle of May. Yet.
a large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had It
not been for the frost early In August. I
which visited most of the north half
of the continent, there would have |
been a magnificent yield in every dis
trlct In Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
about 100,000 acres was sown to wlp-
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
large. There are vast tracts of valu-
able grain growing land In Western
Canada that are available for home-
steads. the Canadian Government giv-
ing 160 acres free, and entry may be
made by proxy, by any near relative,
thus saving considerable coat to the
American who may have entry made |
in this way. Any Canadian Govern-
ment Agent will give you the partlc
ulara.
Your correspondent has Just re-
ceived the following letter from Craik.
Saskatchewan, which bears out the
statement made In the first part of |
this letter.
"Craik, SasV. Aug 1W7.
"May 24th we planted a Dahlia root,
which we brought with us from Min-
neapolis. Aug. 12th, 80 days later, it
was in bloom. The plant is now 4^4 I
feet high and covered with blossoms.
We never got half as many flowers on |
it in Minneapolis, even during Septem-
ber and October, although we had |
more time to attend to it there."
I mention this only as an example I
of the great productive power of the |
soil here in Saskatchewan. Canada.

Just as a new shift of walters came on.
And having eaten a very modest
luncheon this man laid down a mod-
est tip. to be exact, five cents.
And did the waiter shy off or sniff
at this nickel? He did neither, but on
the contrary he seemed to regard it
as an augury of good fortune that his
first customer should have given him
something, and—
"Thank you." he said, politely, to
the customer, and as he turned away
he added to himself: j?Yhat's a start-
