Washington. The robust figure and
r-?onant voice of John Wesley Gaines
of "Tennessee, Sah,'" may no longer
frrace the chamber of the House of
Representatives and animadvert on
the iniquities of Wall street, but that
same robust figure and resonant voice
are by no means lost to the National
Capital.
John Wesley, who went out in a
blaze of glory when he escorted Pres
ident Taft then president-elect to
the Capitol for his inauguration, is
resurrected.
Despite the efforts of the democrat,
ic voters of the sixth congressional
district of Tennessee to shift the lime
light from his heroic figure and their
success in casting the glory of repre
senting that section upon Hon. Toe
Byrns, John Wesley is undismayed.
He is back in our midst.
Be it known that John Wesley was
one o"f the few recreations of the last
congress. Whenever things got very
dull which was quite often John
Wesley unlimbered his oratorical ar
tillery, advanced his elocutionary cav
alry, held his verbal infantry 'n re
serve and began a wordy assault up
on Wall street.
From the failure r.f the tobacco crop
to the last storm that swept the
Grtat Lake.1? every evil that befell
the country John Wesley charged to
the iniquitious and abstracted Wall
street.
If the debate in the House waxed
dry. some bored legislator would turn
'to John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee,
:md implore:
j "Tell us about Wall street, John."
i And John would.
John appeared in Washington this
year as soon as the congressional ses
sion opened, despite the fact that
cruel fate and an ungrateful constitu
ency had barred him from lifting his
voice in rigorous denunciation of Wall
street. He called on President Taft.

PHILOSOPHIC REFLECTIONS OF
THE TRAVELING SALESMAN
(By Bob Blake.)
Kid gloves and a walking stick are
useless to a man driving an ox team.
Many a man begins where he ought
to finish, and then wonders why he
never accomplishes anything.
A college education is a good asset,
but practical experience pays better
dividends.
Small pitchers have large ears, so
be careful what you say In the pres
ence of children.
It Is a fool who flies In airships even
though the walking Is bad.
The man who always carries a chip
on his shoulder generally gets his head
knocked oft
A "good fellow" Is usually the one
who dies poor and whose widow dis
covers that his life insurance policy
had been allowed to lapse.
If the hotel grub is bad, the wise
drummer calls tor ham and eggs: If
the coffee is poor he hits up the milk;
falling which there is always water.
It seems that the idea was to kid
nap the Rockefeller and take him to
sea, which would five him a fine op
portunity to sprinkle oil on the trou
bled waters.
COt'RT DECISION BRINGS
MAX NEARER TO NATURE
Washington. The mummified egg
Industry received another Jolt and the
human race was shoved another
notch nearer nature by a court decis
ion Just rendered at Peoria, Illinois,
the opinion In which today reached
the Department of Agriculture. The
Illinois Judge held against the use of
borax as a preservative for eggs, In
a case growing out of the seizure of
fifty cases of hen fruit preserved In
that "dope."
While the decision may bring egg
consumers nearer to nature, depart
mental officials aren't yet anticipat
ing the time when the housewife can
hope to stand expectant at the hen
house door awaiting the kaplunk
which indicates the production of the
egg. Indeed, the department still
sorrowfully admits that eggs may yet
be messed up, dried and kept many
moons ere they appear, gravled and
mushroomed, as an Inviting omelet on
the restaurant table. The pure food
law has its defects, they admit. But
they intend to stop the practice of egg
storage houses In "pickling" hen
fruit In poisons.
