WASHINGTON. Bryan F. Mahan, who as representative from the Second Connecticut district is serving his first term in the lower house

of congress, is the only man in that body who i3 also and simultaneously mayor of a city as well. Mahan got re-elected mayor of New London, Conn., last year, for about the nth time, and when he was put up for congress last fall on the Democratic ticket he thoughtfully held on to what he already had. Of course, with the Republican party split wide open in the district it looked like a cinch for the Democrat, but you never can tell in politics, and Mahan was bound and determined to hold some kind of a job whichever Way the cat jumped. After he was elected the question arose: What was he going to do with the mayoralty? Local politics in New

London was in such, a fluid state that Mahan didn't knowof any available man who would or could maintain the true Jeffersonian principles of the fathers as mayor except himself. "This being thus," suggested a iend, "why not keep on with the job?"

again, maybe he is cannily keeping his grip on the organization that sent him to congress. To a representative 1914 is nearer than the calendar would have him believe.

Remarkable Ornament on an Old Trophy Cannon

MANY persons stop to examine more or less closely or more or less carelessly the handsome graygreen bronze trophy guns at the foot of the stairway at the north entrance to the state, war and navy department building. It is surprising, or it is not surprising, according to one's caste of thought, how many spectators fail to see the remarkable and unusual feature of the gun on the east side of the entrance the gun which is the younger and the more ornate of the pair. The east gun bears among various inscriptions the words Le Farouche,

which may be translated "The Fierce," "The Savage," or "The Wild." On the cascabel or the base of the breech of this vene'rable smooth-bore muzzle-loading cannon, cast by Jean Maritz at Douy, France, in July, 174S, is the face of an angry lion with the butt of a thorned stake or war club protruding from its mouth. Whether the name of the gun was given it because of the fierce image on its base or whether the image was cast there because the gun was to be called "The Fierce" neither the writer nor the superintendent of the state, war and navy build

ing, who is the custodian of this and other trophy guns, knows. But the face is there. Thousands of tourists gaze on the art handles of the gun. They are bronze dolphins. The tourists puzzle over or study the coat-of-arms of France, the crown of France, the battle emblems, sabers, cannon, drums, flags and trumpets, the circle of fleur-de-lis of the house of Bourbon and the face of Pallas surrounded by the rays of a blazing sun.

Unique Way to Find Partners.

At a large card party the hostess

had her guests find partners by pass

ing tiny bouquets around which wrere

put ilttle lace paper frills. The stems were wrapped in silver paper and the

card attached said "Table one," "Table two," etc. The four who had table one found their place and the two whose bouquets matched played part: ners. Fancy headed pins wrere thrust through the cards so the flowers could be worn. Everyone was charmed with this pretty idea, and in this same way a hostess had her guests served thirty at a time at a big large "tea;"

one of the assisting ladies handed the

bouquets as those who were served passed out and in this way it was easy to keep track of those who had had refreshments. If real flowers are hard to get tiny articflcial ones may be used with good

effect and if purchased at a worthy

WHEN YOU WASH BLANKETS

Process That Will Not Only Cleans but Materially Assist in Their Renovation.

The method of washing blankets recommended by the School of Household Science, Macdonald college, is this: Things necessary: 1. A line, sunshiny, windy day. 2. Plenty of soft water, melted soap, made from a good soap free from excess of alkali, and some ammonia or borax. Things to avoid: Heat, rubbing and rubbing on soap, as these will shrink the wool. Process: 1. To a tub of tepid (not warmwater, add one tablespoonful of

ammonia or borax (this softens the water and aids in cleansing, and enough melted soap to make a good suds. 2. Wash the blankets by kneading and squeezing (never rubbing), in two waters. A good washing machine is excellent for this, and saves much hand labor. 3. Rinse in two waters, of the same temperature as the wash-

Should it be the case that your blankets are now hard and discolored from mistaken treatment in the past, one washing with above method will do much to restore the fluffiness and whiteness; while a second washing in due season will further add to their renovation.

What Would You Do if You Had This Queer Bill?

IF you were handed a yellow-back with-$50 marked on one side and $100 on the other side would you think that you had been the victim of the "monev chancers." or would

you think that an error had been made and you had been given just double the amount that you should have received? Inquiries made by a reporter the other night as to the value of such a note brought forth varied answers. "Why, I should say that the bill is worth $50' asserted one man. "It is good for $75," said a youth who had evidently been learning something about the mean proportion in mathematics. Still another declared that $100 was its value, while others declared that

exchange it. All doubts as to the

value of the bill wTere laid at rest when Joseph E. Ralph, director of the bureau of engraving and printing, stated that it was worth $50 and explained how the note originated. Just two of these bills are in circulation, according to H. 0. Granberg the owner, of one a wealthy mine owner of Colorado, who brought his collection of "freak" money to an exhibit held recently in Detroit. Both bills were printed in the bureau of engraving and printing. "The error can be accounted for," said Director Ralph, "in only one way. The upper end of the plate prints $100 bills while the lower end prints $50 bills. The paper is then turned over and another impression is taken for the other side. In some manner the plate was turned the wrong way for the second impression, and the two bills issued. Although they passed through the hands of fifty people before they left the building, they were eventually put into circulation."

The Senator From New Mexico Had to Explain

IT was during the discussion of the Indian hill in the senate that Senator Gallinger asked: "What is peyote?" "The senator from New Mexico can explain," replied Chairman Stone. "But I would prefer to have the senator from Missouri explain." persisted Gailinger, who saw a little fun in it. But Stone turned to Senator Fall, who told the senate that Peyote was a drink which the Indians made from cactus, which was not so intoxicating as whiskey, but a fair substitute. It was Senator Gailinger who replied to Senator Owens' sneering remarks about .men from the east who go out west and "nose around among the Indians." It was Senator Gallinger who called attention to men from the east who had always given the best in them to the Indian service. He first mentioned Senator Dawes of MaMsachusetts, who devoted his sen

ate service to the red men. Then came Senator Piatt of Connecticut, whose long service on the Indian committee made him known as a friend of the Indian. Then he alluded to Senator Quay, "whose last speech in the senate was about the Indians and brought tears to the eyes of many senators." Probably no three men ever gave more unselfish devotion to any cause than those three men to the Indians And there are few western men who will not agree with that statement.

Our sketch illustrates ä good use to which a remnant of brocade or corded silk may be put, in the shape of making a handsome curtain band. A certain number of bands of this kind are always useful at home, and they are also saleable articles to prepare for a bazar, and they are quite simple to make. The material should be cut out in the shape indicated in the top sketch, which shows the band laid out quite flat, and it should measure 24 inches in length and 7 inches in width at the

A fireless cooker is a great boon to the housekeeper; it saves many steps for her tired feet, keeps the kitchen cool and pleasant, and above all, cooks the food thoroughly without loss of flavor or danger of burning.

One of these lavor-saving devices, even of the homemade variety, is as

valuable for keeping foods thoroughly

chilled as it is in conserving heat for cooking processes, so that it is really a snlendid investment for kitchen

equipment.

operation are directly responsible for the death of Samuel Rush of this . city. Rush's physicians told him he

must undergo an operation for the re- -moval of a cancer. At tho words Rush became paie, gasjed, and dropped dead. The shock is said to have brought on heart failure. He was sixty-three years old. Indianapolis. Dr. Ralph S. Chappell, deputy coroner, returned a verdict of suicide in the death of Dr. Richard F. Stone, pioneer Indianapolis physician and author, who was asphyxiated in his Irvington office, 222 South Emerson avenue. James Ostrander and Charles Shimer testified to having found Doctor Stone's body lying in a gas-filled rear room, with a gas jet open. Mr. Shimer said he had known Doctor Stone for years and he believed suicide was prompted by a lack of practice and financial troubles. Marion. Dr. V. V. Cameron, coroner, in a verdict filed concerning the death, August 29, of Wesley Stahl, killed by electric shock at the Marion Malleable Ironworks, holds that corporation resonsible for the young man's death. The verdict reads: "I find that Wesley Stahl was electrocuted by coming in contact with a defective lamp hood, and that the Marion Malleable Iron Works should be held responsible for his death for permitting .defective hoods on lamps in the factory." Stahl was it molder employed at the works, and his head came in contact with the light above him. South Bend. "Worry is the worst disease in America. In fact, it Is

Doctor Krebs spoke at the first monthly dinner of the organization of the newfall season. About two hundred persons were in attendance, many outside members being here from various cities in the northern part of the

Indianapolis. Governor Ralston gave further expression to his views on the subject of peace and arbitration in a letter to Rev. Elbert

Russell of the Biblical department of

Earlham college. In part the governor wrote: "I do not see my way clear to a belief in the doctrine of nonresistance, because in the last analysis the qualities of force, discipline and self-defense are essential, as human nature is constituted, to the preservation of society and a Christion civilization. But I can heartily join you in the promotion of arbitration and the rule of reason and justice as against the law of force, in the settlement of personal, national and international differences." Shelbyville. On an indictment returned by the grand jury here, William C. Fales, a real estate man of Greensburg, was arrested in that city and will be brought here to answer to a charge of forgery. Robert Kinney, a young attorney here, recently purchased the stock of a men's furrlshing store on account of tho death of one of the partners and Bales took the goods, giving in exchange a deed to a 50-acre farm in Jennings county. Kinney alleges he discovered that the names of the grantors, Wilbur R. Ramsey and Belle M. Ramsey, and of the notary public,, Zell C. Swain, had been forged. He

tried to trace the stock, but found It had disappeared after being transferred to Dr. C. W. Pagel of Greensburg. Martinsville.
