s 1 THE HARDIN TRIBUNE By E. H. Rathbone HARDIN, MONTANA Good Talkers. Intelligent talking is one of the most beautiful and animating recreate: Home and a person who understands the art possesses a most useful and enjoyable accomplishment. No din- ner -table Is well appointed without good talkers, and the basis of Interest ing conversation is reality. After a course of dinners in the British me- tropolis, Sir Walter Scott said: \The clergymen and the laners talked bet- ter than the wits\—teat is, the wits talked for the sake of talking, while the representatives of the church and the law had something to talk about. Yet specialties and hobbies are not admissible at a dinner -table,. and a per- son who can only talk on his own fad has no business in society, for any conversation at the dinner -table that is a strain on the attention or patience soon becomes Irksome; indeed, one of the chief elements of pleasant com- pany is a readiness to talk or to be talked to on any rational subject. The most charming talkers, says the New York Weekly, let a bright listener see their thoughts in formation, for talk that has been prepared has a ready- made flatness. It is the aerated thought of the moment that has the sparkle; and a good talker finds the right word by instinct, as a clever horse on a bad road always puts his foot in the right place. This fact makes the good talker also a good lis- tener, because his best conversation will follow brightly and Instantly the lead that others give it, and it pre- vents, likewise, the worst of all con- versational faults—the persistent ef- fort to monopolize the talk. Cigars for Kirig Edward. King Edward has come forwaro again to enrich American cigarmakers He ordered 1,000 cigars two years ago at a cost of $3,000, but this time his \smokes\ are to cost him proportion- ately more. The order is for 500, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and the cost will be $1,600. \There is no exaggeration as to the price or the ex- pense incurred in the manufacture,' said one well up on cigars. \Three thousand dollars was actually paid by King Edward for 1,000 cigars, and the margin of profit even at that unprece- dented price was exceedingly small. The manufacturer was eager to gain the prestige of having served royalty and went to extraordinary expense. The cigars were eight inches in length and at the thickest part in the middle one inch in diameter. They wera made of the finest Vuelta Abajo tobac- co. The 500 that are to go to England will have thin bands of gold on them, but they will not be wrapped in silk. The manufacturer will make a nice profit—much greater than that of the man who filled the order for the thou- sand two years ago.\ The necessity, which sailors under- stand so well, of making everything fast on shipboard, was illustrated by a recent neglect of the precaution on the - Steamship Persian. The vessel was coMiSg up the coast from Philadelphia to Boston, when a heavy steel safe broke loose from its chocks, and for an hour fought a battle with the sail- ors like that which Hugo, in the fa- mous chapter of \Ninety-three . ,\ de- scribes as taking place on the French man-of-war. The safe first dashed from the captain's cabin, and plunging through the door, started down across the deck. Fore and aft and from side to side it lurched and plunged, smash- ing or carrying away everything in its path, and threatening the lives of the men at every rush. Finally, by the aid of ropes, furniture and capstan. bars, it was checked, lassoed and made fast. Those who had a part in the battle will read \Ninety-three\ with new Insight hereafter. There should be a pocket edition au tomobile that the chauffeur could chuck into one pocket of his overcoat while he pulled his snow -shoes out of the other. Equipped with the arctic boots he could sail merrily along, sliding down Inclined places and toil- ing up the hills. But the main point is that he would make progress, how- ever slow. Automobiles are too cum- bersome. It is all right for them to have weight. if the owner is going to patronize the boulevards exclusively. Still, in an ordinary cross-country run perhaps be could get away with fences, barb and rail; but when there is e bog or snowstorm and he wants to transport the machine to the nearest re- pair shop on his shoulder Its weight it a serious handicap. A witty Frenchmanwas asked if he did not think it was high time to stop putting men to death. \Yes he an- swered, \but let the murderers be the gentlemen to begin.\ The same rule, applies to all phases of the warfare between criminals and society. NVhen a New York man resigned his position heeanse he thought he was 'paid too much for his services, he was promptly locked up as insane. Still, that was hardly necessary to prevent a general movement of %Ike Ott.

The actions of most legislative bodies are circumscribed and directed through parties; and while the Philip- pine assembly is not an exception to this general rule, it has so far pre- sented some modifications of it. Al- though the campaign for election of delegates was conducted in party names, and the members -took their seats as representatives of these par- ties, there was little real political co- hesion among the various groups at the time the assembly convened. Five so-called parties secured representa- tion: The Nacionalista, with 32 seats; the Independent, with 20 seats; the Progresista, with 16 seats; the Imme- diatista, with seven seats, and the In- dependista, with four seats. There is, in addition, a member who avowedly represents the interest of the Roman Catholic church, and while he may be classed as a Nacionalista, he disclaims any direct party affiliation. Of the so-called parties mentioned, only three represented political views definite enough to permit clear dis- tinction among them. The Itnmedia- tista and Independista parties are really only subdivisions of the Nac- ionalista party. These groups were held together by a common expressed desire for a complete severance from the United States. The Progresista, while regarding independence as a goal in the distance, does not favor present agitation to attain it. The strong Independent group is composed of men who before election declined to commit themselves on this pronosi- tion. So only two parties had ex- pressed pre -election convictions suf- ficiently tangible to present a positive policy: The Nacionalista and Pro- gresista; and the ideals which these represented may be cogently ex- pressed by the customary appella- tions of Radical and Conservative. The various Nacionalista groups com- bined had a majority of seats, but by a very narrow margin, which gave the Independent group a virtual balance of power. While the hand of the commission, wherein a majority are Americans, was not openly visible in the election of °amens, there is no doubt that it contributed its influence to the result, which made it possible for the two branches of the legislature to com- mence their joint labors harmoniously. The session was not very old before It became evident that party lines, as they had been drawn in the election campaign, were resting very lightly upon the shoulders of the delegates. Independence had been a good cam- paign slogan, bat responsibility was bringing the members face to face with practical political matters which required action that must, if possible. stand the test of criticism. Then there is no doubt that the body as a whole felt that it is in a sense 'on trial, and that any excess would promptly react upon it. Mr. Taft's words of warning were fresh in mind. Speaker Osmena was elected as a Nacionalista, but his course so far reveals him to be as con- servative in practice as the most pro- nounced Progresista: and the same is true of other Nacionalistas. A sense of its own dignity is growing upon the assembly, which opefates to check rash actions. Then there is no doubt that it has its political ear to the ground, and is acutely sensitive to the external factors which affect it. The direct external influence, aside from congress, is the commission. The American commissioners exercise executive functions apart from their legislative duties; In fact, the commis- sion embraces all the executive au- thority of the Insular government, which is now concentrated in the hands of the five American members. So the commission holds a double check upon the assembly. Eighty-six bills have so far been in- troduced, and of these only two have passed, and both have become laws by the assent of the commission. The first bill paased by the assembly WAS to appropriate 1,000,000 pesos for the erection of barrio schools; the second _ was to increase the salary. of the speaker. The bills which have been Intro- duced, but about which no definite action has yet been taken, cover a wide range. Agriculture, taxation and education seem to be popular ques- tions with the delegates, and a number of bills relating to each of these topics have been presented. There is a bill providing for compulsory education, one requiring that native languages be taught in the primary schools, one providing for the further establish- ment of manual training classes in the schools, one providing for an agricul- tural college in each province, one to establish industrial schools, one com- pelling the teaching of English in the barrio schools. The state of agricul- ture in the islands is evidently on the minds of many delegates, half a dozen bills on this subject having been in- troduced. One provides for the free distribution of agricultural imple- ments under certain conditions, an- other provides for the revocation of land sold under failure to pay certain taxes. There is a bill to abolish the death penalty, one to permit Chinese immigration under restrictions, and one to prove the insular waterways. Forty-six bills apply to revision and amendment of various laws. Six of these propose amendments to the election law. A bill provides for the establishment of the writ of habeas corpus. One provides for the erection of insular government buildings in Manila. Apart from its legislative efforts, it is interesting to note some effects which the assembly is having upon the general political state of the islands. Thomas F. Millard, the New York Times correspondent, says on this point: \I have just returned from a trip about the provinces, and I am convinced that the sentimental effect among the people is very great. At any rate it has provided a diversion. People, and consequently the poli- ticians, no longer discuss with the same interest what the Americanos are doing or intend to do; they are talk- ing about their own assembly. What is the assembly doing? What is the assembly proposing to do? Have you read Queson's speech? Ah, yes; but I do not agree with him. Osmena's reply was much better. The land law should be revised. Yes; let us write to our assemblyman. And so on throughout the islands.\ Hens Aid Her Through College. With the assistance of 32 hens. Miss Maud L. Loud of Westchester county, New York, is paying her way through college. During November, December and January Miss Loud sold to private customers in New York city 225 dozen eggs at 55 cents dozen. Along with her studies she did all the work required in caring for the fowls, collecting and selling all ..the eggs within 24 hours from the time they were laid. Hats Made of Horse Hair. horse -hair hats are to be the vogue this season, the hats to be made of the very finest material, such as was used In our grandmothers' chairs. Imita- tion blossoms made of leather will be worn as trimming on the new hats, and finest gauze flowers will also be employed, A new idea in flowers will be to make them imitate plumes, a lily -of -the -valley plume, for instance, being very effective on a crinoline hat. Wins in Textile Competition. The Craftsman announces that Ms , - Elizabeth C. Niemann of Philadelphia is the winner of the first prize offered in a competition for the best design for textile decoration. Her design was for a peaneck portiere and is in- tended to be carried out in applique embroidery of brilliant dark blue, light blue, green and ivory upon a back- ground of natural color Russian crash. For Ugly Streets Only. It is announced that the Berlin pa lice are taking steps to prevent the defacement of streets by electric signs. No . objection will be offered to their ereqtion hi ugly or confined spaces, but they will be excluded from the hest streets and from plaeee where they are likely to produce a discordant effect.\—Engineer.

London Edifice of Many Historic Mem- ories Has Lost Its Pastor. London.—The death or Rev. R. H. Davies has left the Chelsea Old Church pastorless. Now some zeal- ous young curate will be sought whose eloquence will attract congregations to this almost deserted place of wor- ship. For 53 years Mr. Davies preached in a little sanctuary, at first to con- gregations as large as the place would hold, then, as the glories of Chelsea departed and the old families died or went to more fashionable precincts., to 'a mere handful of people. The Old Church—it has been known thus for centuries—seldom shows any signs of life except when there are services. It was in this church that Charles Kingsley worshiped, and he and Mr. Davies were close friends. So dearly did Mr. Davies love the old place that Xavier Mission Near Tucson, Arizona he would not allow plaster or white- wash to touch its walls, and the re- pairs made during his time were only those absolutely necessary to keep it from destruction. In the nave of the church are kept the chained books. They were once fastened to a desk, but have now been placed on a high shelf with their an- cient chains still clinging to them. The books comprise a \Vinegar Bible,\ Fox's \Book of Martyrs\ and a desk prayer book. The Old Church has seen some mag- nificent ceremonies, notably the funeral of Lord Bray. It was here, too, that Henry VIII. came in state the day after Anne I3oleyn's execution to wed Jane Seymour. NEW SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY. Ex -Gov. Bradley Elected, Breaking Long Deadlock. Frankfort, Ky.—Former Gov. Wil- liam O'Connell Bradley, Republican, was recently elected United States senator to servenix years from March 4, 1909, when the term of ,James B. McCreary will expire. The final ballot was the twenty- ninth taken in an effort to break the deadlock which developed on January 15 between the Beckham and Bradley forces. Bradley's election was accom- plished by a number of Democrats go- ing over to him. Senator -elect Bradley is a native Kentuckian. He was born in 1847 near Lancaster, and has long made his home in Louisville. He has been a power in Republican politics in Ken- tucky since 1865 when, though he - 0• was only 18 years old, he was admitted to the practice of law by a special act of the state legislature. He at once allied himself with the party of Lin- coln and won honors from his fellows. He is the only Repfiblican who was ever elected governor of Kentucky. In 1896 he was' indorsed by his state for the presidential nomination, but his claims were not pushed before the convention. In 1895 Mr. Bradley was elected governor of Kentucky, and served one term. The new senator is a civil war veteran, having run away from home in 1862 to join the union army. rakeup of French Families.
