project Is the great sea dike which Is to perform the all important function of shutting out the North sea keeping the ancient enemy at a safe distance This once accomplished all that remains Is' simple Probably the Dutch are the only hydraulic engineers in the world who would calmly pro pose to wall off a stormy angry sea swept by great tides and lofty tidal waves from an Inner body of water measuring twenty five miles across The Dutch not only propose it but they know just how they are going to do It They have counted every cubic foot of timber every pound of stone every willow twig every labor that will be required They know what they are about They even have estimated exactly how long the work will take This the greatest of all sea embank ments in the wide world this modern and beautifully useful Chinese wall will extend from the mainland ot north Holland a short distance across a shallow Btralt to the island of Wier ingen them across the Zuyder Zee to the coast of riesland The total length of this dijk" Is 248 miles Massive it must be firm as a roek to withstand the attacks of the storms wincn wm neat against it rrom tue North sea to resist the pressure of the ice which In winter will drive with terrible force upon Its ramparts De spite the fact that there are here no rock foundations and that the whole structure must be planted upon the sandy bottom the Dutch have no fear All their Ilves they have been strug gling with just such unpromising ma terials Nothing but walls of sand now protect most of Holland from the in roads of the ocean Sand makes a good bulwark and also a good founda tion It you know bow to use it and there Is no trick in this trade that the Dutch engineers had not mastered gen erations Walter Wellman in Mc Clure's Envy Is not only a great

House De Armond a ighter How Richardson Was The McClellan Democracy Washington Nov Senator Gorman is having some diffi culty In getting the thirty three mem bers of his party to present a solid front and stand for a declared plan of opposition to Republican policies This was to be expected in a party whose membership has been acting with a great deal of independence for a num ber of years Senators who have not made party discipline a cardinal prin ciple are somewhat loath to1 sacrifice their individual opinions at the behest of any one man or even a majority of men There are many diverse opinions among Republicans but they can rally around one proposition which is to support the president and his admin istration In the matter of Cuban rec iprocity that is being done whereas two years ago there was a great deal of Republican opposition This plan is adopted in regard to the Panama sit uation although some Republicans may be doubtful about the action of the administration But the Demo crats find themselves without a na tional leader whose policy they feel bound to defend and with one leader in the house and another in the senate they are much perplexed Gorman Is Always Suave rom his outward appearance no one would ever guess that the Maryland senator was in the least disturbed by party dissensions He does not seem to feel that the divisions are of any mo ment but others are not so calm and Senator Bailey who is somewhat im petuous remarked that the Republic ans with two thirds of the senate were without a straggler while the Democrats' with a third could not get two men to agree upon any proposi tion The Texas senator exaggerated the conditions sometvhat but it is true that the Republicans are now the harmonious party while two years ago there were wide differences The be lief is expressed that as Gorman shows more and more his capacity for leader ship he will be able to briqg about a better understanding or Woman Suffrage Senator Mitchell of Oregon has rein troduced a resolution for a constitu tional amendment providing for wom an suffrage He Is consistently in favor of this proposition and believes women should have the right of the ballot or many years efforts have been made in this direction and while the advo cates claim that progress is being made it is doubtful if there will be anything done by the national legisla ture until more states grant women the same electoral privileges as men Why Williams Wanted De Armond A Democrat who is in the confidence of his party was explaining why Lead er Williams chose De Armond for the committee on rules "He wanted De said this man he needed a man who would pour the hot shot into the Republicans every time a rule of any kind was brought in Richardson and Underwood the former members of the committee were alto gether too mild Williams is also a mild mannered man He doesn't want to the Republicans on every oc casion but De Armond likes it Why do you know that man De Armond just naturally hates Republicans as a class? Let me tell you he even get ac quainted with them because he is afraid learn to like some of them and he wants to be free to lambast each and every one of them whenever an occasion Jim Was the irst The fellows about the house think they have a good one on Jim Richard son of Tennessee During the last con gress Richardson introduced and pro cured the adoption of an amendment in an appropriation bill providing that hereafter no bills or reports should have maps printed with them except by a special order of the house in which they were presented And it turns out that in this session Richard son was the first man caught by the new provision He Introduced a bill for a battlefield park in Tennessee and with it was a map showing the location of the proposed park The clerks held up the bill waiting for Richardson to procure the necessary special order to secure the printing of the bill with the map The McClellan Democracy We had a great deal of fun with Representative McClellan a few years ago about the "McClellan We would say that it was unanimous: that it had to be because it consisted of one man That was in the days when McClellan was not in harmony with the views of the majority of his party and did not agree with the mem bers of his own delegation McClellan enjoyed these jokes as much as any one but always maintained that the would yet make Itself felt About the first thing he said to me when he returned to Washington after the election was observe that the De has grown" I should say bo and now they are talking of making him the candidate of the Democratic party for president Why even Gen eral Grosvenor went so far in his speech as to nominate him saying he was "a man without a detrimental rec ord" That is a great deal for Grosve nor to say of any Democrat ARTHUR DUNN NEW SHORT STORIES Sir Arthur's Wr The report that the veteran librettist 8 Gilbert may again take up writ ing for the stage has revived stories of the old Gilbert Sullivan union and a new lot of remlnlsevuees concerning Sir Arthur An old friend Mr Celller has been recalling the ways of the composer "Sir Arfliur Sullivan found his chief difficulty in getting Mr Cel ller says once he got his hand in he would write for twelve hours at a stretch and for days took no time for regular meals but snatched a bite from the sideboard when lie thought of it He was a charming man making ev erything easy and being very approach able Naturally all desired to please him In a certain chorus he had writ ten a high top note for the sopranos and on it there was a difficult word to sing They demurred over 4t and told him of their troubles bless me it is one of the best top notes I ever was his reply were so devoted that they struggled with the word and sang it very charmingly day a young debutante was ex tremely nervous on a first rehearsal with the orchestra and almost In tears When it came to an unaccompanied quartet she said to Sir Arthur! know I shall sing out of right my he replied out of tune how I like The result "was that her nervousness quite disappeared She sang it in tune and was afterward a successful prima donna of the Lord Joke In connection with the resignation of office by a lord chancellor a good story is told by Lord Campbell of Lord Chan cellor Erskine Soon after that distin guished relinquishment of the seals he was invited to garden party at Oatlands where the duch*ess of York had upon the lawn a number of rare animals and among others a remark able black monkey with a long white "I SINCERELY WISH YOU hairy mantle flowing gracefully over his hand and shoulders Erskine was late in arriving but at last while the Prince of Wales the Duke of York and other royal personages were standing in a group near tlie entrance to the courtyard lie arrived in a very mean looking one horse vehicle Immediate ly alighting the ex clianccilor Instead of bowing to the roynl party suddenly stepped up to the monkey and taking off bis hat in a very dignified manner and making three obeisances be ad dressed the animal In these words amid the hearty laugh of all present: "Sir 1 sincerely wish you joy You wear your wig for I sjvfea ft Tl I I I i It hi 'I An Ancient amily Dr Clement Biddle of Philadelphia Is proud of the distinguished family to which he belongs but not foolishly not ludicrously proud A certain ngi Philadelphian dis cussed family trees with Dr Biddle at an assembly ball This old man car ried his family prlilo to a ridiculous ex tent Ho claimed that lie could trace his ancestry directly back to certain princes of the seventh century Dr Biddle with a grave air said: is an old family Mine Im too Both yours and mine though are young beside the family of Sir William Watkins Wynne of "The said the old man ex citedly am related to the Wynnes Tell me all about them "The Wynne family said Dr Biddle "is written upon five skins It goes back back farther back than Noah So far back does It go in fact that in the middle of It on the third skin you may see Inscribed the sen I tence this time the world was I created' Why Indeed Bishop Potter and Chauncey Depew were invited to tlie sniUe function re cently and both were expected to speak which moved the bishop to re mark: "Tbl reminds me of the story of two oysfers who were In attendance at an ecclesiastical festival Said one to the other is this a church was the reply A church fair!
