His employers called it laxincss. He was concerned with permanences. The nearer to nature, the more repose. Trees and hills do not dance except for urging. Whitman, elemental, strong, placid, bovine, did not urge them. In the Brooklyn Eagle office Whit­ man Is a clearer memory than in the office of its contemporary. Yet It is oddly hard to secure facts. There is a general and joking reference to his serenity as idleness. He was not a typical newspaper man, for he was not to be pressed or hurried, and In our day of precision and speed be would have been impossible. He nev£r felt that stress from which the veriest bo hemian suffers. He did not want mon­ ey enough to work hard for It. One of the coterie of writers and actors which used to squander its much wit and lit­ tle wealth at PfafTs tells me that of the whole party Whitman was the only one who was never tipsy and never "broke." < He always had a market somewhere for fugitive writings. Edi­ tors were friendly to him. He drank his beer with the rest, but its effect was to make him thoughtful, even sad, while the others were merry. Accord­ ing to that narrator, he was an easy borrower, though it does not appear that he asked for large amounts or made needless delays in his repay­ ments.--Charles M. Skinner in Atlan­ tic. " • • How He Won Her. "Then you will be a sister to me?" "That is all I can be." He paused and looked at her thought­ fully. I already have seven sisters," he said, "and I am not quite sure I can make room for you. They are very kind to me, and on several occasions my socks have been darned a half doz­ en times in the same spot. They are so thoughtful too. Each of them has pick­ ed but a wife for me; but, strange to say, not one of them mentioned you. Of course you won't feel hurt if I add that there is a general and deep rooted im­ pression among them that you are not half good enough for me. Sisters are like that sometimes, you know." The girl flushed hotly. "Not good enough!" she cried. "I'll show them. Consider my refusal With­ drawn." And so she married the foxy fellow out of spite and made him very happy. --•Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hta Estimate of Fr«ude. Hannis Taylor, In his argument be­ fore the Alaskan boundary commis­ sion, told a story of Edward A. Free­ man, the English historian, whom he knew well. On one occasion, when dining with him at a hotel in St. Louis, Mr. Taylor innocently asked him, "Mr. Freeman, what is your estimate of Froude as a historian?" Said Mr. Tay­ lor: "He looked at me In a strange kind of way, and then he replied: 'I will tell you what I think about Froude. If ever you read anything he writes read it with care. Read it over and over again and fix it in your mind so that you will never forget it, for then you will know one thing for certain, and that is that by no possibility did It ever happen in that way.'

[F rom the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe.] -This is the season when the woman who kno^s the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in ^ase of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and toln, but. some mod­ ern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soom as the cronpy conerh appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and it is pleasant and safe to take. Tor sale by all druggists. The Rhodana Sldna. An amusing story told by Hood de­ scribes how a country nurseryman made a large sum out of sales of a simple little flower which be sold un der the name of the Rhodum sidus. This charming name proved quite an at­ traction to the ladies, and the flower became the rage of the season. It was one of those freaks of fashion for which there Is no accounting. At length a botanist who found that the plant was not an uncommon weed requested tc know where the nurseryman got the name from. He elicited the following reply: "I found this flower In the road beside us, so christened it the Rhodua •idus." Wntchea Slower at Night. "Ym know that the vital energies are •t lower ebb at night than in the day­ time," said an old watchmaker. "Would you believe that some watches--espe­ cially the cheaper ones--are similarly affected? "You know a good watchmaker al­ ways wants several days in which to regulate a timepiece. That' is because the only way to regulate it properly is to compare it with a chronometer at the same hour every day. Otherwise the variations in the speed of the watch will baffle his efforts. "The man to whom I was apprenticed told me this, and I thought the idea ab­ surd. We were working late one night and he called my attention to a lot of watches that were regulated and ready to deliver. It was near midnight, and every watch was slow. The better timepieces had lagged behind some sec­ onds. The cheaper watches were a minute or more out of the way. Next morning every one of the lot was ex­ actly right. "The fact is you can regulate a watch to make exactly twenty-four hours a day, but you can't persuade it to make Just sixty minutes in each of the twen­ ty-four hours. Why this is DO one can tell."--New York Times. Circus BaalaeM. Mamma--Oh, see, Willie! Your Uttle brother can stand all alone. Aren't you glad? Willie (aged six)--Sure.

This conclusion has been arrived at after a long and persistent study of the sex. A woman never marks a book openly, as a man does, with a flourish of marginal notes and references convey­ ing the impression that he is conversant with other books besides this one. He who has a pencil always bandy will think nothing of using it on any and all occasions. It is like entering the holy of holies to read books that some women have marked. It is a violent rending asunder of the veil which she hangs before the door of her heart. The marks with which a woman scores her favorite passages at eighteen will be effaced at twenty, and she must have changed but little to leave those of twenty uneffaced at twenty-flve.--New York World.

CASTOR IA Power of the United State* Senate. The senate is today the most power­ ful single chamber in any legislative body in the world, but this power, which is shown daily by 'the wide at­ tention to all that is said and done in the senate of the United States, is not the product of selfish and cunning usur­ pations on the part of au ambitious body. It is due to the original consti­ tution of the senate, to the fact that the senate represents, states, to the pow­ ers conferred upon it at the outset by the makers of the constitution, to its permanency of organization and to the combination of legislative, executive and judicial functions which sets it apart from all other legislative bodies.
