The two "flghtinest men" Sena-- ' tors Tom Watson, Georgia, and La Follette, Wisconsinpractice extremes during their hot weather training pe-riods. Watson fills up at lunch time on a heavy; menty, three-cours- e meal, with generous amounts of coffee thrown In. La Follette eats nothing at midday. Tnke It from Joseph M. Lnnger, manager of the senate restaurant, sen-ators have as many different views on what to eat during the hot weather as they have on current legislative topics. , ' j- - Accordlng to Langer, Borah, the leading buttermilk Imbiber, drinks one or two glasses at noon every day.

Itepresentatlve Johnson ' of Washington, chairman of the house committee on Immigration, believes that the United States never will re-turn to the wide open door policy pre-vailing prior to the passage of the present temporary 3 per cent restrlo--' ' tive law. Johnson at next winter's session expects to press a bill, which he Int-roduced before the adjournment of the house, revising the present law so as to give all countries a base quota ofi 600 plus 2 per cent of the number of aliens from that particular country In the United States as shown by the census of 1010. Ills bill also contains other new features, including a re-quirement that aliens coming Into th United Stutes shall obtuin a certificate t admission from an American consul As the situation now stands the present S per cent restrictive act has been extended for a two-yea- r period from July 1. Johnson favors the enactment of permanent legislation which will become effective before the rxnlrntlon ot lite iwo-eu- r period.

So popu-lar has the "frog quartette" become that no njusicf.1 entertainment or 1 church service is complete without a couple . of contributions by the erst-- , , while denizens of the Sandy Creek v marshes. John and Joe McGtnnis, twenty and y eighteen-year-ol- d singers of note, spend a good deal of their time In the woods camping. Several weeks ago the boys .y noticed that there were four frogs In the creek which stuck pretty close together and that their voices w ere , easily distinguishable. They lay awake at night listening to these frogs. . The boys started singing "Carry Me . Back to 01' Vlrginny" one evening. They sang a couple of times Just to v , while awajj the time, They were astonished an hour later when they heard the bullfrogs croak-ing away on the same tune, picking it up little at a time. The next night the boys sang the same song three or four times, at In- - tervals of an hour, with the bullfrog viuartette practicing on It between times. This continued for four nights, when the bullfrogs could actually 'carry the tune" to the melody. , The toys went home and told the story. Six of the most representative men in Gladewater accompanied them ; to the creek for a "bullfrog concert." There, arranged on a log in proper musical order, were the four massive bullfrogs, singing "Carry Me Back to 01' Vlrginny," Just about as well as . any quartette. The voices of the tenor frog, the buss frog, the barl- - tone frog and the second tenor frog stood out clearly. ... The McGlnnls brdthers decided to capture the frogs. They had no trouble. They stayed for the night and when they interrupted the frog concert by . singing "Old Black Joe." the four bull-frogs, hopped off the log and came to here the boys, were. In an hour's time they, were piping along on strains of "Old Black Joe" with the McGlnnls brothers. They were brought home, . and since then they have beenln In- - , tense training from an artificial pond In the back yard at the McGlnnls home. The "bullfrog quartette" now sings four tunes, and the neighbors gnther In nightly to hear them. When the McGlnnls brothers take the bullfrogs out for entertainments each Is placed on a pedestal. , ' Last Sunday when the "bullfrog .: quortitte" was the feature of the "Carry Mo Back U 01' Viralnny." singing at th Baptist church the bright -- bellied, Intelligent looking crokers were arranged along the rail-ing of the baptismal.

BOY KILLS FATHER ' WALKING IN SLEEP Somnambulist Had Started Hunt-ing When He Was Halted and Discharged Gun. Little Rock, Ark. One of the, strangest cases of homicide on record In Arkansas Is reported from Bessie, a small town in the northeastern part of the state. While walking in his sleep William Delaney, a sixteen-year-ol- d schoolboy, shot and killed his own father, Ed. ward Delaney. The father was sixty iipl I si Turned and Shot His Father. years old and one of the most farmers In the community. The killing, under the peculiar cir-cumstances, has caused a commotion In the town and adjacent territory. No blame or censure, however, at-taches to the young man, who has borne an exemplary reputation and was deeply attached to his father. . It appears from the meager reports that have filtered. In here that young Delaney, who lias been Inclined to a peculiar nervous disorder recently, arose shortly after 1 o'clock In the morning and, taking his double-barrele- d shotgun from the corner of the room, left the house and started across the yard as If to go hunting. The noise of the young man's get-ting up and going out aroused the elder Delaney. When he saw his son going across the yard In his night clothes, gun tn hand, he ran out after the youth. It seems the father's calls or something frightened the young man, for he turned and shot his father, the load of shot causing almost Instant death. The discharge of the gun awoke the son, who was completely overcome when he saw what he had done. PUBLIC INDIFFERENCE Public indifference to labor controversies when the public suffers no immediated personal ' inconvenience has been exempli-fied in the case of the railroad and coal mine strikes. When the people can realize that in a day or two all trains may be stopped, or that the shutting down of the mines will mean lots of shiver-in- g next week, then comes the cry from the public for an im-mediate settlement, but even at the present time neither of these possibilities exist, and matters are permitted to drag along. ; The coal strike had been in progress for three months be-- fore the Federal Government ex-erted, any pressure to bring the contending parties together and then there was no force of public opinion sufficient to compel them to agree on a basis for the open-ing of wage-scal- e negotiations. Meanwhile the stocks of coal are diminishing daily and fears are being expressed that even if, coal jnining is resumed at an' early date it will be difficult to mine and deliver sufficient coal to prevent a serious shortage this coming winter. When the public awakens to the fact, then an ef-fort will be made to obtain peace in the coal fields. ' In the railroad strike the chief interests have been the peace moves of the ' Railroad Labor Board. At several railroad cen-ters there were minor riots when the striking shopmen attempted to prevent other men from tak-ing their places and state and federal troops were called to maintain order. The strike is in-terfering with the operation of trains more than had been an-ticipated,, and several railroads have been compelled to curtail both passenger and freight ser-vice. ; ; In neither strike does there ap-pear to. have been a real effort to infoi-- the public of the merit of the case, so that it could form an intelligent verdict so that force might be used for a just settlement. What interest has been displayed seems more to de-termine "who will win," rather than 'who shpuld win." MUST REPLACE STOLEN EGGS Boy Weeps as Judge b..i B.
