MP v v fim a Speaker's Wife a WASHINGTON. C. A. Tooreyson, who calls Ladonla his home and Itravels for a St. Louis wholesale grocery-house, was talking of school 'day experiences. Charlie was one of i"Peck's bad boys," one of the unter rifled village cut-ups, when he went 'to school, in the '70s. He admits that Jhe and most of his companions were pretty hard to handle. v "I went to school in Martineburg In ' 1878," he said. "Miss Bennett of Cal laway county, now the wife of Speak er Clark, was my teacher, and, believe me, she knew her business. She was the assistant teacher In the school. "There were four boys in Miss Ben nett's class who were looked upon as really tough. As they used to say In those days they were hard nuts to crack, but there wasn't one of us that ever frightened Miss Bennett. Charlie Clark, Tom Roach, Will Powell and myself constituted this quartet of bad ones, and what meanness one couldn't think of the other could. How Senator Williams Fought a Duel COMPARATIVELY few seem to know that old John Sharp Williams once fought a duel. It was when John Sharp was over In Germany attending Heidelberg uni versity. He and a German student sassed each other, and the German Challenged him to co-operate with him In determining which one should die a premature death. John Sharp Wil liams, being the challenged party, had the choice of weapons. His , op ponent, forgetting all about his being an American, supposed he would pick sabers, just as any German would; but there was where John Sharp came along with a neat little joke. Ho said they would fight with United States army revolvers. The idea of shooting at a man with a Colt's revolver two feet long, was new to German dueling, and the na tive student was a wreck when the morning arrived for them to kill off one another. John Sharp, on the other hand, ate heartily of ham and eggs, as the saying s, and seemed perfect ly composed when they toed them selves up for the opening shot. The German, with vibrant hand, fired off south by southeast of John. Sharp, who purposely shot up toward a spot about eight degrees to the left of the zenith. And having thus speedily completed the morning's entertainment, the prin cipals shook hands and went their Big Senator's "Special for Three" IF the proprietor of one of those "Seeing Washington" outfits could take tourists to see Ollie James eat dinner he would make a great hit. James, who is representative and senator-elect from Kentucky, is the largest man in public life, and to see him dredge into a beefsteak is an In spiration. The other day James drop ped into a Pennsylvania avenue res taurant and ordered a bite to eat, which he had a perfect right to do. He ordered without ostentation, pomp or pretense, and had no thought of at tracting attention to his gastronomic prowess. But little groups of diners began to collect near James' table to see what would happen. The ever present newspaper report er was included in the anxious party, whose curiosity to learn what the big one consumed in tHe way of food and Society Will Dress CARDINAL GIBBONS' annual spring visit to Washington Is causing no end of trouble in the social world. The edict recently issued by Pope Plus that cardinals and high church men should not attend dinner parties where low cut gowns are worn, which edict was taken up and circulated by Cardinal Farley and Cardinal Bourne, of London, is, it is said, causing women in society to seek their-dressmakers in haste. ' Cardinal Gibbons is a great favorite in Washington, and is annually enter tained here by Mrs. Stephen 13. Klkins, Mrs. William F. Draper, Miss Patten, the Chief Justice and Mrs. Edward D. White, Mrs. Henry C. Corbin and others. His first visit was with Mrs. William F. Draper, who gave a dinner in his honor. M;. Corbin, Miss Pat ten, Mrs. Elklns and others will en tertain the cardinal, but none of them, so far as is known, has followed Car dinal Bourne's example, when he is-1 sued invitations to a large reception and a.ked the women invited to wear ; Strenuous Teacher "In Bpelling we always occupied po sitions at the foot of the class, but I remember that on one occasion we spelled every word that came to us, and when the lesson was over we stood one, two, three, four, right at the head. "Then came the expose. Bill Flck lin told Miss Bennett we had stealth ily looked at the book each time we had to spell a word, and that was why we made such a high average. . "The fun began when school was dismissed. We set on Ficklin and gave him a good licking. The next day we were brought before the court, with Miss Bennett as the presiding judge. I told her that we licked .Fick lin because he tattled ,pn us, and to give me the whipping and let the other boys go. (This was not special heroism on my part. I got a licking every day, anyway.) "The other boys, with the exception of Bill Powell, put up a good talk. Powell refused to say a word. This obstinacy aroused the simon-pure fighting spirit in Miss Bennett, who turned the rest of us loose and start ed on Bill. She gave him one of the best 'whalings' he had ever had In his life. He didn't awe her a 'bit. She had her dander up, and Bill got the full benefit of it." respective way apparently undisturbed. Senator John Sharp Williams, whose absent-mindedness is notorious, is also a keen student of practical jokes. They were having a house party at the Williams' home here, recently, and some of the young people asked the senator to co-operate with them in playing a merry trick on his son. The plan was to squirt a quantity of ice water over the transom on young Wil liams after he had retired for the night. As father and son were shar ing the same bedroom during the house party, the senator would get to witness the result of the experiment, and he entered into the spirit of the prank with much zest. He Indicated the bed occupied by his son and with his own hands helped to rig up the ice water apparatus. About one o'clock that night a wild snort of dismay from Senator Wil liams echoed and re-echoed through the house. He had absent-mindedly gone to sleep in Ms son's bed. drink, led them to become eavesdrop pers. The giant senator apparently took no notice of the assembled "rubber necks," neither did he look at the bill of fare. "Bring me a steak," James told the waiter, and that was all the plans or specifications for the steak that he furnished. The waiter seemed to un derstand. Presently he returned with an amplitudinous leviathan of a steak that appeared on the scorecard as "special for three." That's the kind of a steak that Ollie James can masticate with much glee, provided there are enough side dishes to whet his appetite. Do not get the Impression, either, that the colossal statesman from Ken tucky is a glutton. The kind of a steak he eats Is no more adequate food supply for him than a couple of lamb chops would be for the average five-foot-ten work-a-day citizens. A million years or so rom now scientists with side, whiskers will get hold of the skeleton of Ollie James and try to learn whether he lived be fore or after the mound builders. But they will never find out. for the Cardinal bodices with high collars. It is. prob able that Mrs. Draper, who is one of the stanchest admirers of the cardinal, will intimate to her women guests that It will be In good taste to wear afternoon gowns, whether they are Catholics or Protestants. It has long been the custom of women when attending a dinner or reception in honor of Cardinal Gib bons to wear their most costly gown3 and jewels, and It will require some change in the fashion of dinner gowns to conform to the new rule. There are so" many prominent Catholic women here, however, that there is no fear but that every care will be taken not to offend the churchmen. Lp mm MlTMTIONAL rsoiooL Lesson' (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Even. ing Department, The Moody Eible In stlttite of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 24. , FEASTING AND FASTING. LESSON TEXT Mark 2:13-22. GOLDEN TEXT "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." Mark 2:17. Levi Matthew, who calls himself by the opprobrious title of "the publican," represents that class of grafting pa triots who through all ages have ex emplified the seven cardinal points of a politician, viz., "the two loaves and five fishes." Men who will weep over sentimental patriotism and serve the oppressor for profit. Better still, how ever, Matthew is a type of conversion in that he left all and followed Jesus. No weeping, but rather great rejoicing for he made a feast; no record of great conviction, though he had enougn to act at once upon Jesus' invitation. It was a brief, sudden call, but what vast results were in volved. First a demonstration upon his part, secondly a demonstration upon the part of Jesus, and lastly a record of the life of the Master that has been termed the most important book ever written. Chronologically this lesson follows that of last Sunday. In Luke's account we are told of the feast Matthew prepared that he might entertain Jesus. Some believe that Jesus began his work by trying to win the Jews through teaching in their synagogues and that, receiving him or not, he turns to those outside of the circle of the scribes and the Phari sees. Be that as it may, we know they murmured greatly that this rabbi Bhould consort with publicans and with sinners. Came to Call Sinners. Jesus hears of their complaint and his reply is a fine bit of irony and Earcasm. "They that are whole , have no need of a physician but they mat are sick. You self righteous Phari sees, why do you complain if you are all right and these be all wrong, why then not let me minister to those that need me?" At the same time Jesus utters one of his greatest and most comforting sayings, "I came not to call the righteous but sinners." ; Jesus chooses one of their own so cial outcasts to write the only dis tinctly Hebrew account of his life; one who had been faithful as a business man to be a leader and historian; one willing to renounce all, say fare well to ambition and follow him. Following this, the disciples of John the Baptist and of the Pharisees are fasting and they observe that the dis-, ciples of Jesus are not so engaged. They came to Jesus with the question and his reply is a perfectly logical one, "Why should they fast, am I not with them?" "Do you fast at your weddings while the bridegroom is pres ent?" The day is to come, however, when he is to be taken away, then there shall be times for fasting. Jesus has feasted with "many pub lScanslicans;" when the bridegroom returns he will sit down with many publicans and sinners in glory whom he has associated with in order that he might save them. Are we follow ing his example? If so, let us be sure we do it from the same motive. The disciples of John did the right thing to bring their perplexities to Jesus. He answers their question as we have seen and we are now in the day he mentions when there is a place for fasting. Jesus teaches U3 in his ref erence to the wine bottles (leather sacks which could bear but one stretching process due to fermenta tion of the wine), that we are to be new creatures in him and must leave the old life and habits. We are not to make patchwork of this new Gos pel and the old law. His Work That of Physician. There are two difficulties thus pre sented in this lesson; first, that Je sus should hold fellowship with those properly not of his circle or social standing for he was a rabbi or teach er, and, secondly, that he did not nor did his disciples observe fasting. Je sus admits the character of the com pany he kept, but his reply was, "I came for this purpose to call not the righteous but the unrighteous." His work was to be that of a Physician. He assumes that his authority is not of man but of God, and that this min istry is to bring joy. Jesus had emp tied himself that he might come and when he was to leave there it would be time enough for his disciples to fast. Jesus was not merely one who came to teach a system of ethics a little higher than the prophets. Je sus is more than a good man or even a holy man ; he is the Great Physician, able to heal both body and soul, a Saviour. Before these lost ones can be saved, however, they must realize they are lost, for we cannot save those who will not acknowledge themselves as being lost. When we acknowledge we are sinners be will save us I Tim. 1:15). Turn a deaf ear to his call and there is no more hope (Luke 13:3). It has been suggested that the par- , able of the prodigal son and the elder j brother was uttered at this feast la Levi's house; probably not, we do not know, but how truly it applies. .The prodigal representing those U-st pub licans and clnaera. Not That Kind. "It would save a lot of trouble," said a newspaper man the other day to Representative Slayden of Texas, aft er the Democratic caucus on the Henry resolution to investigate the ' money trust," "if you would allow us to attend the caucus." "On the contrary," replied Mr. Slay den, with a twinkle in his eye, "I thought it would make a lot of trouble." "Well, can't you give me an iri- terview on it, now that the fight is over?" "No," answered Mr . Slayden, "it would be against my principles. "I never kiss and tell!" PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING "When my little girl was about eight months old, she was taken with a very irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with it, it came in little watery-like festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days It would dry down In scaly, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething; I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a book on Cutlcura, and pur chased some Cuticurr. Soap and Oint ment at the drug store. I did as I found directions in the Cutlcura Book let, and when she wac one year old, she was entirely cured. Now she is three years and four months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cutl cura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment.
