Congress
No. 2 .
Statistics have proven that only
one-half of one per cent of the
speeches made in Congress are lis- 1
tencd to. A great many Congressmen
speak IN, but not TO, Congress.
But every speech is published
in the record. They send the rcc- ~
ords back home to show "What
they told 'erri up there in Washington."
Now the people back home
think Congress heard their "Lem"
tell 'em this.
Now, here is my scheme to stop
speech making. A Bill reading as
follows: "Congressional Record
must not only contain speech, but
number of members, and names |
who listened to speech, and why."
For instance: "Congressman Post
Hole arose to a point of information
and spoke at length on, 'Is
Locarno a town, or is it a Treaty ?'
Length of speech, without waiting
for applause, four hours, thirty-six
minutes; attendance, Gout (Rep.
N. Y.) : 'Unable to get out.' Sixtyforty
(Dem. N. J.): 'Case of reciprocity,
he listened to mine.' Lowbrow
(Rep. Mass.) : 'I was asleep,
even the good speakers haven't
woke me up.' "
Now I claim that will stop some
speech making. The minute rt gets
back home that "Lemmie" is talking
to himself up there, "Lemmie"
%V'You?know^why they won't lfet"n
to anybody up there? They have
gone out to smoke, that's why, and
you know why they've gone out to
smoke? Why, "Bull" Durham, of
course. IT'S BETTER THAN
ANY SPEECH EVE;R MADE.

am afraid I belong to the younger
generation that frankly has not much
!>a cnce with (,m KtilJ,t, (Superstitious.
Not that there was not a lot of
sound sense la some of them. For oxample,
it was considered unlucky to
whistle in a dressing room. Well, the
explanation of that particular taboo
seems simple. Stage people are necessarily
"nervy" and temperamental,
and If anyone could be so unfeeling
and Ugh then rted as to whistle It did
not say much for the offender's in-'J
terest In his work, and consequently
for the play's chance.
To hum the "Dead March" in the
precincts of the theater was also
strictly forbidden, very likely for
much the same reason.
The luck or 111 luck attaching to
abrtnln colors probably had, if the
truth were known, an equully prosaic
origin. Green was considered unlucky.
Probably some very bad play 1H which
green was much used died n speedy
and perfectly natural death. Greenroom
gossips, who are always with us,
decided that It was the- innocent color
that killed It.
The same explanation, I think, can
be given for the run of 11L luck which,
from time to time, seems to attach to
vurious London theaters. Their ill
luck consisted in having bad plays;
when a good play was put on the
"luck'' changed.
Then there is the good luck which
Is supposed to follow after a black
cat has crossed one's path upon the
stage. Hut this superstition Is age
Did, and lsnrot confined to the theater.
It . goes back to the time of nnclent
Egypt, I believe, when the cat was
worshiped. In America, curiously, It
Is a white cat which brings good luck
on the stage.
No actor of the old - school would
dreain of speaking the "tag"?the last
few words of a play?during rehearsals.
What the origin of this
Buperstitlon is I cannot conceive. Hut
I do know that when we were rehearsing
"Our Betters" we spoke the
"tag" on every occasion. And "Our Betters"
ran for f>4<S performances.?

Tennis in Balkans
With the object of encouraging tennis
In Bulgaria an American diplomat
has the laudible Idea of presenting a
challenge cup for competition between
members of the various tennis clubs
throughout the country. The competition
will be conducted on lines similar
to those on which the Davis cup
is run. Tennis, as a pastime, has not
yet come* into Its own lu the Balkans,
but every year the numbey of clubs Increases.
The sporting associations
are encouraging young boys and girls
to take up the gnine. The initiative
of the American diplomat Is expected
to go a long way toward popularizing
the game.

His Vivid Memory \
A local member of a secret fraternity
sought to visit a strange lodge
and found that he could not pass the
examination at the door and knew no
one qualified to vouch for him. As he
was turning away, a man from out in
the state recognized him and recalled
having been at his initiation av dozen
years ago. "You were in the class
with Mr. So-and-so, weren't you?" be
Inquired. "Yes," replied the applicant,
a little flattered; "how did you happen
to remember me so long?" "By
the 'cowlick* on the back of your
head," was the reply.?Detroit News.

Robert Randolph Bruce has recently
been appointed Lieut. Governor
of British Columbia, ns the
representative of King George in
that province of Canada. Like
many another successful Canadian,
he came from Scotland, about
thirty years ago, bringing with
him a frock coat, a tall hat, and a
bundle of introductory letters. He
was the son of the minister of the
Imrish from <hich George Stephen,
ater Lord Mountstephen, then
President of the Cankdian Pacific
Raiiwnv, had come, and so the fii-st
office where he presented himself
,wus tout of T. G. Shaughnessy,
then general manager. In
very few minutes he was given a
Job. but ns wns going out the
wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*mmmssss=sbasssss2sb?j?lu
door, "T yi" cnlled after him,
"Young man, if you want to get on
in thin country, shec. that oout." '
Mr. Bruce must have obeyed in*
struetiohs. for he hfls been "getting
on" until his recent appointment
seems to be as near the top as any
Canadian could ever be. And, co*
incident with his own development,
has oome about the development or
the Windermere Valley in British
Columbia, where ho has made his
home for some years. Mining in*
terests first took him, back in lHttb,
to the upper reaches of the Columbia
River, where he commenced
operations on the Sitting Bull
claim on Boulder Creek, a tributary
of Horse Thief Greek, near
the spectacular Lake of the Hanging
Glaciers. Latcm he left this for
a new claim called Paradise, from
i ii tssssssssssssmsssmrnmmmmmmmmmtmmm
which ha* sprung the appelatlon
Hafipy Valley. The villut^e of
Windermere, on'the eastern side t>t
Lake Windermere; was the hrst to
lake root, and here Mr Hruty?
settled, lie built . bungalow. and
planted u garden, a garden which

Not only did this' indefatiyahle - ..
gardener plant lovely (lowers in his
garden, but realizing the difficulties
of keeping miners at their lobs, he
planted fresh vegetables in sufficient
quantities for his men to have
a diet of fresh vegetables instead
of a diet of tin cans. His ores us
