MEASURES PASSED IX BATCHES
BY HOUSE.
ONLY THE NUMBERS ARE BEAD
Representative Cares Demands Read-
ing of at Least Captions "but Sys-
tem Continues Without Change.
The house established a new record
Wednesday by passing bills in batches
instead of one at a time. Long since
the Constitutional rule requiring bills
to be read on three several days was
disregarded. . They are nd longer read
even once. Wednesday not even the
captions were read. The bills passed
were all supposed to be local. They
were read by numbers only as a rule.
When a batch of twelve or fifteen had
accumulated the house voted to en-
gross the batch; then it voted to sus-
pend the Constitutional rule requir-
ing bills to be read on three several
days as to the batch andl.flnally it
voted to finally pasVheJjatch.
The journal clerk was instructed to
make the record show that each bill
had been passed separately. The
courts will not go behind the record
and the record will be perfect. The
house can disregard the Constitution
with Impunity.
The opinion was expressed Wednes-
day that this had been the most dan-
igerous legislation the house had en
gineered. The reading clerk and the
assistant reading clerk alternated In
shouting numbers as fast as they
could. "House bill blankety blank-
senate bill umpetyump house bill
bllmpety blirap-senate bill blinkety
hUnk " So on until the stand was
piled to its capacity. Then the roll
would be called on the passage of the
loL No one had the faintest inkling
or glimmer of light as to the nature of
legislation enacted. As was'remark-
ed the Constitution of Texas could
have been repealed and no one could
have been the wiser. .
The-beginning of the night session
was reasonably sane. A number- of
local bills were passed to engross-
ment. They were railroaded it Is
true "but the captions were read and
the members by being alert could
maintain a fain degree of Intelligence
Two or three bills were passed In due
forsri when Mj Fitzhugh made a
wholesale motion that one roll call
serve for the whole outfit savingjtlme
and other things. The motion was
adopted and with coufuslon Teignlng
supreme the methods outlined above
-were .pursued.
At one stage Mr. Caves rose and de-
clared he must demand the reading
of at least the captions of the bills as
to vote on nothing but.a batch -of num-
bers
with no knowledge of the sig
nificance of the bills they represented
was not proper. Mr. Caves' demand
was not heeded anyhow the captions
Avere nof read and the "sight un-
seen" passage of bills continued mer-
rily. The newspaper men kept track for
a while but after the journal clerk
gave up after the members of the
house adopted tactics of making .laws
blindfolded after the House of Repre-
sentatives and all connected therewith

The Other Great Man.
" Dr. Russell Cool of-iCnllfornla hap-
pened to suppress an; epidemic of
measles while on a vacation trip to
.Tahiti and Chief Oreaort gratefully
Invited him to a banquet in his primi-
tive palace. The. south sea potentate
and his white guest sat amiably on
the floor and dined off roast pig apd
other native delicacies served on broad
leaves and eaten with the fingers.
'After dinner host and guest adjourned
Ito seats outside the palace lit long fat
black cigars and gazed out over the
moonlit Pacific. In the eyes of. Chief
6reaorl Robert Louis Stevenson who
Jdld so much to improve the condition-
of the south sea islanders was the
greatest white man' that ever Jived.
The chief related to Dr. Cool many
incidents to illustrato Stevenson's
kindliness then asked a score of ques-
tions about the health of Stevenson's
widow and of his stepchildren. When
the last question had been answered
there followed a long period of silence.
The two friends puffed slowly at their
cigars and luxuriously regarded the
radiant tropic moonlight glowing upon
rustling. palm fronds and the silvery
ocean. Then Oreaorl turned to the
doctor and demanded "Now tell me
about John L.. Sullivan!" Harper's
Weekly.
Freezing Flesh.
It Is a curious fact that although
dwellers In northern climes must have
known for ages that a low temperature
preserves flesh from putrefaction It
never seems to have struck any one
that this natural fact could be. turned
to artificial advantage until Lord Bacon
stuffed the historic chicken with snow
and thereby caught a chill which killed
him. It Is perhaps oven more curious
that an experiment resulting in the
death of one of the most eminent men
la the world should not have called any
attention to an already well known
prlnclplc'whlch might have been read-
ily turned to great advantage. Ab a
matter of fact. It was not until the year
1875 240 years after Ixrd Bacon's fatal
experiment that freezing was
tlcally employed as a method o
serving flesh. This was the commence-
ment of the frozen meat tradeuetween
America and England. Four years
later a dry air refrigerator was per-
fected! Thought He Had Died.
A promlneut member of a German-
American society told n story about a
German friend of his who was taken
111. For many days the German was
close to death.but after a time be
showed Improvement In condition. The
doctor told the German's wife that her
husband might have auythlng to eat
that be liked.
. Tho German expressed a desire for
llmburgcr cheese and the wife being
a generous woman and pleased at the
lmnrovement and in order that her
husband might have a nibble at any
time he had a taste for lt put some

How It Works Out.
"I never tell funny stories In my
speechcH." remarked Senator Sor-
chum. "The audience always enjoys them."
"Yes. A man hears you tell a funriv
story anil he thinks It is so good he
tries to remember it. He regards you
as a first rate fellow and fitkJs thank-
ful to you for giving him a new one.
Then he tells it to the lirst friend Ire
meets and as he isn't a good story
teller the friend doesn't laugh. Then
he tries it on the blase hotel clerk and
the stolid drug store man and several
others and by the time he gets home
he concludes you have passed him a
irold brick. lie not only refuses to
vote for you but tells all his friends
he doesn't think It's dignified- to. keep
in otllce a man who tells funny sto-
ries." Washington Star.
Spelled In Full.
"Wo had n editor in Chief on our
paper years ago who was a stickler for
no abbreviations" said a veteran news-
paper man. "He didn't believe In ab-
breviating anything but tho word mis-
ter. The names of states had to be
spelled out. One time one of the boys
wrote a news story which contained
this clause: 'And Mozart's mass was
played. The proofreader who got tho
story had been under the exacting di-
rection of that editor for years too
many years to allow any proper name
to get' by Mm without being spelled
out. so when he came to this 'mass' be
rung' the word and It came out 'Mo-
zart's Massachusetts.' "-Omnha Hee.

"1 hear that your new school super
Intemlent is father radical." .
"He Is that." responded Farmer

work and the perforated tattling and

children according to the rules of com-
mon sense. Oh yes! Our now super-

"You are all right" said the doctor
after he had goue through with the
regulation thumping and listening
with his patient. "Not a trace Ot
heart disease. Fifteen dollars please!"
The patient drew a long breath and
remarked: "I nm sure now I have no

Fun Missed In Air Traveling.
It may be a great achievement for a
balloon to travel at the rate of seventy-five
miles per hour but what is the
fun in skipping along at that rate
when you cannot see the telegraph
poles or constables whiz past? The
pleasure In speed Is In passing things

Slow but Not Sure.
"Your daughter Is not engaged to
young Johnson yet. then? 1 suppose
It Is a case of slow and sure?"
"Well yes he Is slow and she Is not
at all sure!"
I have often wondered how every
man loves himself more than all the

The Bite of a Dog.
"I want to say a few words about
hydrophobia." said a physician. "When
an animal bites through clothing there
Is little or no danger of Infection. The
virus on the teeth of the animal and
when the iersou bitten has received
the wound through a layer of clothing
there is little danger.
"The virus on the teeth is left in the
clothing ami is not communicated to
the person bitten. Rabid.'dogs or other
animals are npt like reptiles. They
have no. hollow teeth through which
poison may be communicated. It must
be introduced directly Into the system
of the victim.
"Therefore when a supposedly rabid
dog bites n person if the bite Is not on
an exposed part of the body he should
have no fear." Washington Tost
