A SEN \TORIAL PLAN
Washington City correspondents,
writing during the holidays, say a plan
baa been fully matured among sec.i
ators to attack the executive branch of
the government in the *eoate at onco
after the re-coavening of congress ai.d
to keeD up the tight until the presi
dent awakens to a realization of the
fact that this is not a one-man govern
ment and that the president is not all
powerful. It is said that the plan has
been arranged so that there is a perfect
understanding between the republican
and democratic sides of the chamber.
According to Walter Wellman and
George Marvin the democrats will be
gin the assault on the president's Pan
ama, Santo Dominican and Philippine
policies, while the republicans will
hold up his appointments and make
such a weak resistance to the democrat
ic onslaught that the latter will seem
to have things there own way. Later
many republicans will attack the ad
ministration, taking issue with it on
domestic questions. On most of these,
it is said, the democrats will weakly de
fend the president. The particular
mark for many of these attack*, it is
said, will be the lordly Taft. It is also
said that Root will be flayed oc
casionally.
That is a very beautiful plan, on pa
per. and from a senatorial standpoint,
but to those who have studied aifar>
from a distance it would seem to unduh
disregard the fighting strength and
popularity of the president. However,
Mr. Wellmao, who is perhaps the great
est Roost vei tan in Washington jour
nalism, admits that the popularity of
the president is waniog, although, he
says, he is still beyond bounds tie
most popular man in the country.

No one who knows F. Conrad Rot
ertson will believe that he is a member
of a gang of dynamiters or that he is a
conspirator in crime. Mr. Robertson
is a big man, big in stature, big of heart
and big in ability: too big to stoop to
to such things as are charged
against him. He has sacrificed much
of bis tim'', at poor pay. to be the at
torney for labor unions, because ha is
one of those men whose sympathies
naturally go out to the under dog. He
is a brother of S. M. Robertson, whc
has represented the Baton Rouge, La.,
district in the national house of repre
sentatives for many years, and wh*e
father did so before him. S. M. Rob
ertson is a member of the house com
mittee on ways and means and is one ol
the minority leaders. Conrad Robert
son was the 'aw partner c>f R. W.
Jennings, once upon a tim.- at Por
Townsedd, Wash.
A report comes from Seattle that
Senator Piles has withdrawn his sup
port from the candidacy of C alvin E.
Vilas for the position of superintendent
of the Seattle assay office. It is said he
gives as his reason for so do:ng that
the treasury officials selected Mr. Vilas
fjr the position w i'hou: consulting tht

DOING WORK
Miners Are Busy in Atlin
District
Individual miner are doing much
work and getting gcod results in ths
At'in district this winter according to
Dr. H. E. Young, momberof parliament
for that section, who is in Skagway.
"The most of the work," said Dr.
Young, "is being done on Spruce,
Boulder ai d McKee creeks. On McKee
creek many miners, especially those
who are employed by the hydraulic
company operating there in the summer
time, have been granted lays by the
latter, and they are very well satisfied
with the returns for their efforts.
Spruce and Boulder have always been
good winter producers."
Dr. Young says work is being done
elsewhere, also, but not to the same
extent as on the creeks mentioned.

A Puzzling Disease
[Original. J
"Next!"
A young girl uroso from her seat In
the waiting room of Dr. Cordis and
passed through folding doors iuto the
doctor's consulting room. The doors
v ere closed behind her.
"Good morning, Alice. What can I
do for you?"
"Doctor, I wish you to tell me the
symptoms of some unusual disease."
"What for?"
"I axn in love with a recent graduate
of the College of Physicians. He la In
love with the science of medicine. I
wish him to become Interested in me
through my disease."
"You little fraud!"
"This la a world of fraud, doctor."
"You mean a world of fraud for wo
men."
"C?rtalnly ; we have not the power to
gain our ends openly."
"You are at least frank."
"Come, doctor; there's a dear, good
man, tell me what I wish to know."
"Do you love him very much?"
"Ye*."
"And will die If you don't get him Y'
"Yes."
"Then I must save you."
Going to a rosewood desk, he wrote
something, folded the paper and hand
ed It to her.
"These are the symptoms of a dis
ease that no physician can determine,
for there is no such disease, unless it
be love."
"Thank you, doctor. 1 must ask you
to wait awhile for your fee, for I have
not a cent Besides, 1 think doctors
should be paid In proportion to the
value of their advice. If your disease
succeeds I will pay. you double; if it
fails I will pay you nothing."
"But how will you pay double if you
have nothing to pay?"
"You are very stupid, doctor. The
man I wish to Impress is rich."
"You vlllalnr*
"You villain's accomplice! After all,
the chicanery is not solely with our
sex."
"Oh, yes, it is. It emanates from wo
men and Is catching with men."
"Goodby, doctor. Thank you."
The girl passed out by a side door.
A few weeks later Dr. Cordis re
ceived a call from a physician who had
been his pupil and was a great favor
ite with him, young Dr. Thorax.
"Doctor," said Thorai, "I wish to
consult you about a patient of mine
who has symptoms nowhere to be
found In our medical works, a very
puzzling case." And Dr. Thorns pro
ceeded to give his former preceptor the
symptoms the latter had laid down for
the young girl.
"These symptoms," said Dr. Cordis
after perusing them, "would be best
studied by a careful and constant su
pervision of the patient. You must get
the young woman Into a position where
you can be with her night and day."
"Bnt that could only be done by mar
riage."
I "Well."
"I am not thinking of being mar
ried."
"Then you have only to turn over
your case to some one else."
"But I can never be satisfied till I
have found the correct diagnosis."
"Doctor, you must settle this matter
for yourself."
Dr. Thorax went away much puz
zled. For the first time In his life he
began to think of a woman with refer
ence to possessing her, and when such
an Idea takes root In a man's head It
grows like a mushroom. His fascina
tion for the study of the peculiar dis
ease of Miss Alice Bland and this new
idea were like two bumblebees alter
nately buzzing In his bonnet. No soon
er did he get rid of the one than he
was beset by the other.
Dr. Cordis' health gave way under a
strain of too much work, and he went
abroad. He returned quite recovered
and took up his practice. One morning
he received a card, "Mrs. Henry B.
Thorax," and in another moment re
ceived the lady.
"Good morning, doctor. I have come
to pay my bill."
"Bill? Do you mean to Insult me by
offering me money for"?
"You did It all. I only planned it
I told you that If It succeeded I would
pay you double."
"You mean the man you snared
would pay me double."
"Exactly."
"Very well. Physicians never make
each other any charge."
"In that case I have to thank you
for the deception you practiced In my
favor."
"Deception! I deceive?"
"Certainly. You carried out my
scheme to secure a husband admira
bly."
"I did not I remained neutral. 1
told Thorax that he could only find out
your disease by marrying you."
"If you had told the truth you would
have revealed my plan."
"That would not have been acting
honorably toward you."
"Nonsense. That's .nan's boasted
logic. Would you respect the confi
dence of a man who told you he was
about to rob another of his money?"
"No."
"Then why keep the secret of a
woman who avows that she Is about to
rob your friend of his heart? more than
that help her to do so?"
"Who says women are not logical?
They are logical, but only in one re
spect They are perfect mistresses of
fallacy."
"Good morning, doctor."
"Good morning, Mn. Thorax. I sup
pose your husband will contribute his
discovery to medical science."
"He has made no discovery, and if
Uon't Intend that he shall"
