HAD SOMETHING LEFT OVER Senator Was Wondering Just How He Would Employ the Remnant o>f His 8alary Left. Senator John K. Shields of Tonnes see i? n homelover and likes his own llreside better than the gilded glories of a gundy, hostelry. On Jiis big planta tion out In his Btato he has a large, colonial mansion surrounded by sev eral hundred acres of fine land on which he pastures cattle, ponies and goats. But when lie came to the capital and eought to get a house suitable for his lares und penates, ho found it a difficult task. An energetic real es tate agent motored him and his wife from one house to another, each time the price rising skyward for the rent. Now, the senator receives $7,000 a year, and it he pays out much for rent he-'wHl have to be pretty economical in his food and clothing. So ho and Mrs. Shields trarapod over houses of all kinds for days. At last the agent got them cornered in a lovely mansion big enough to house a ! 'regiment Jind ornate enough to suit the Shah of Persia. He took them over it from top to fccttym uud at last stood up before them in the handsome library. "What is the rent?" asked the sena tor, who wus mightily pleased with the place. "Very reasonable," repik-d the agent. "Only a ycaf." Senator Shields went over lo a win dow and etood lor a time in deep thought. "Well, sir. what is it that is puz zling you?" inquired the agent. "Nothing much," remarked Shields/ "I was only thinking what I would do with the other live hundred of my sal ary." Insatiable. Georgo A. Birmingham (Canon Han nay), the versatile Irish clergyman, playwright and novelist, was talking tc a New York reporter about the Ameri can business man. "I'll tell you a story," ho said, "which hits off tho American buslnoss man well. "A wife, still young, turned from the window of her sumptuous nine teenth-story apartment and said to her husband : " 'George, ten years ago you prom ised me that when you made a million you'd retire from business, and then we'd travel and enjoy life." "Here she began to cry. "'You've got your million now!' she sobbed. 'Why do yon still keep on working?' "George, as ho hurried into his over coat. growled : "'Ah, that's just like you ? never satisfied ' ' " Smokeless Destroyers. The United States navy department aims to develop lo perfection the smokeless torpedo boat destroyer, just as the navies of all the other na tions are trying to do; but a recent test pave results most gratifying to the officials.
