There was a dcitk by the door, behind
which sat the keeper of the den, with
a Utter of pipes and thimble-like cups
before him. In a corner of the desk
wis a jar of opium, a thick, sticky
substance, dark brown In color, in
appearance not unlike molassca in
January. There were twenty smok
ers on the couches, some preparing
the pellet of opium by kneading it
and pressing it on the pipe bowl,
some doting off the fumes, and a few
smoking. An attendant moved about
the room with fresh supplies of the
drug. For each thimbleful, enough
for one or two smokes, the price was
fifteen cent (Mexican). Success

HOW HE WAS FLIMFLAMMED,
A majority of Congressmen arc
Iniporvldent, and when they art com
pelled to leave Washington have only
a sufficient surplus on hand to carry
them home. It mutters little how
much these men make, the result is
the same, for they live up to their
revenue.., .(.'.,', ' v.(..y; ,
Among the many was Daniel W.
Voorheea, so well known in his pub
lic career as a famous orator, a genial
generous, good felluw and, boon com
panion. In money matters Voorhces
was as simple and ignorant as a child.
He parted with his money with no
thought of Its value. The middle of
the month generally found him
"broke," but this worried him little,
for he managed to get along just as
well until pay day. He ordered what
he wanted and had It charged, and
then forgot all about It. The funny
part of his nature was that while lie
did not remember his creditors, he
always kept in mind his friends, and
would give them the last cent he had
if they applied for assistance.
; One day an old constituent of Mr.
Voorheea from the Wabash, in Indi
ana, called at the Capitol lo see the
Senator. Not finding him in be went
to the office of the sergeant-at-arms,
that position then being held by, R. J.
Bright, also from Indiana, and an
intimate friend of Voorhces, The
old man told his story to Bright, and
the reason why he waa in search of
Voorheea. In effect it waa that he
was "bard up" and Voorhces owed
him $150 on note, and be needed
the money badly, and was there to
collect it. Bright thought the story
over and aald: ;.:
"Now, my friend, if you go to Dan
to collect this money he will not pay
you a dollar. On the other hand, if
you wilt go to him, tell him a hard
luck story, and put up a poor mouth,
he will raise and give you every dol
lar he can."
The man took this advice and meet
ing Voorhces told him what a bad
fix he was in and his need of a little
assistance. Voorhees affectionately
put his arm over his shoulder and
said: "William, I am very sorry for
you, and I will help you all I can.
Come and go with me to the clerk's
office. I do ' not know whether I
have any money or not, but I will
give you all I have."
The clerk informed the Senator
that there "happened" to be over $200
to bis credit This surprised Voor
hees, but he said: "Give it all to my
friend here, as he Is a long way from
home and needs it more than I."
Mr. Voorhces devoted the last ten
years of his life to the Congressional
Library. Until his death he took no
interest in politics or anything else
but the library, and to him. more than
to any one else, is due the comple
tion of the beautiful structure. lie

THE AMERICANGIRL
Somewhere out in that vogue re
gion that lids east of the Hudson and
northwest of the Sound, there is an
infinite number of Something-manors
and Somcthing-dalc and Briar-somethings,
each of which seems to exit
for and about a school for girls. And
on Saturday mornings (though a
plain and modestly bald person, I
discovered this pleasing fact years
ago) each of these' myriad schools
opens its doors and sends cityward
Us precious Inmates, Just why tbey

though I could guess that matinees
and shops and a desire to move about
among sprightly scenes and pretty
things have aomething to do with it
but that they do come la undeniable.
They come in flocks and bevies, with
chaperona and without chaperons.
Tbey wear modlst clothes and wear
them supremely well. Their eyes are
bright; they glow with health and
color; they chatter and giggle unre
servedly, without wasting a thought
on the throng of work-aday beings
through which they treatd their way.
Utterly unconscious, utterly assured
of themselves, utterly charming, they
come, they press by; they go. ,
. Each has the poise of a princess.
Each knows that a father, at some
remote "office" or other, Is hard at
work earning the money necessary
to keep her in commission. Each
knowa that a mother, in some more
or less distant city, is maintaining a
pleasant home for almost the sole
purpose of receiving her when she
shall elect to return to it. And each
knows she is the boss of that father
and that mother and that home. For
she Is. More, she is the boss of our
school system and our public library
system, In so far as these things are
shaped to fit her needs, her desires
and her limitations. To a consider
able extent she dictate the policy of
our theater and our publishing
houses. The business of publishing
novels and magazines, indeed,- she
rules with a merciless hand. Indi

older and more whimsically thought

our American system of living and

kkA.v . . .
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
Here is proof in Astoria.
Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth
and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore
gon, says: "For 10 years I suffered
acutely from kidney trouble which
gradually grew more severe until I
was on the verge of physical break
down. I was losing flesh rapidly. My
back was so weak and painful and I
suffered from such severe dizzy spells
that I could hardly get around. At
last I was forced to take to my bed
and remained there for a long time.
My kidneys were irregular in action
and the secretions so profuse as to
cause me a great deal of suffering.
At last I decided to try a good kid
ney remedy. I procured a box of
Doan's Kidney Pill and the results
that followed their use were most
satisfactory. I continued using them
and it was not long before I was
completely cured. I have used Doan's
Kidney Pill on tome occasion eince,
to keep my kidneys in good order and
can conscientiously say I have not
had any recurrence of the trouble
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
