I. i WHAT A FREE CONFERENCE IS. i Nr. Hoyt Explains When One Becomes Necessary. Columbia, February 16:?"Say, when are they going to have that 7*^ free conference?" asked a prorni>uent Columbian of a newspaper man in the Senate lobby on Friday night. "Is that what you came to see?" j r replied the scribe. Then he explain? ed that the "free conference" nas not a tree sliow or a iree ngni or a J free debate or anything spectacular at all. The explanation may interest others not so well acquainted ( with legislative procedure. To become a law a bill must be read three times in each house. The first time, when the bill is introduced by some member, i3 bv tide ouly and then the bill is referred by the presiding officer to some appropriate committee. Wheu the committee makes a report it is either favorable or unfavorable and the committee may also suggest amendments. The bill ( is then placed on the Calendar as a , second reading bill aud the debate , on the bill, as well as the tight, comes up wbeu the bill is read for the second time. The rules require . that on second reading the bill must be read to the Houee section by sec- , tion, line by line and word bv word In addition the oill inuet be printed and laid on the desks or members for one clay before it cat) be considered. If the bill survives the tight ou second reading aud all hostile motions are voted down, the bill is put on the Calendar oe.xt day as a third reading bill. No bill can have more than one reading on the same day. The third reading is by l title only and it is very seldom that there is a tight on thiru readiug. When the bill passes one house it is seHt to the other house in which J it must go through the same proced- j ure. If the second house inserts I amendments in the bill as it caniej from the tirst house, the bill is sent.; back to the first house; u .d the first, house cau either concur or not)-1 concur in the amendments. If it ; non-concur and the oftnr house | ^refuses to recede from its ameiid-: ' ~"ots the bill is referred to a eomV?"'UTt.'.u-e, consisting of ^yiiators and hue representatives. Tiie conference^' committee can recommend that either one house! or the other recede from its positio.:, or it can report that it is unable to agree. If either hou&e refuse to recede, as recommended, or if the committee tail to igree, then a com' mittee of free conference is appointed, consisting cf three senators and three representatives. The committee of free conference has practically absolute power; it can make any change it pleases, or it can write an entirely new bill. If the free conference committee fail to agree or its report be rejected by ei'hei house, the bill fails entirely and LOUIS The house The largest W OUR STOCKS FOR FALL Write us for samples and prices of anyi STYLE.

It is accordingly customary for the presiding officer to appoint a majority of a conference or free conference committee from among the members who were in the majority when the vo e was taken on the bill, the purpose of the flee conference being to carry out the will of eacli house so far us it is possible to do so and leach an agreement. For instance, on the CareyHothian bill, the ^resident of 'h.* senate appointed Senators Octs and Hardin, two supporters of the bill, and Senator Ku\sor, an opponent. The speaker of the house appoint ed Messrs Carey and Cothran, the joint authors of the bill, and Mr Richards, the opposition leader. Any attempt on the pat t of a presiding officer to appoint a free conference committee with a majority of its members in opposition to the majority sentiment of the bouse they represent would be a gross violation of parliamentary ethics. It is tradition that this was once done iu house of representatives, and the house at once took from the presiding officer the appointing power, and that committee was named from the floor, The rule of the majority must prevail.

"Prisoner," said the judge, who was about to pronounce sentence upon the culprit, "if, instead of being a chronic offender, you had chosen the career of a law abiding citizen"? "1 am a law abiding citizen, your honor," interrupted the hardened crook. "Whenever I break a law I am ready to abide the consequences."

Von Moltke was an early riser and loved early risers. Once while roaming around his Silesian estate at daybreak he found a pea-nat woman bearing on her back a sack of potatoes which she had just dug, making a load heavy enough for a mule. "Here's a thaler for you,'' said the great lield marshal. "You sec, the early bird catches the worm." Afterward he found out; that site was a night thief who had ravage! his fields persistently, but whom his steward had never got up oariu enough to catch. Yielding t& Mcdicsi Advice.

Some of the poor make themselves unhappy because they are not rich. Some of the rich make themselves unhappy because they are rich.
