But some crook- ed senators would have made money it they'd known it, so they didn't learn it.

How can you win for Altacoola without let- ting these grafters make money out of it?" asked Haines in astonishment as the other two walked away. "What are you going to do at 12:30 tomorrow?"

WASHINGTON has known many lobbyists in its time, and it keeps on knowing them. The striking increase in legisla- tion that aims.. to restrict unlawful or improper practices in business, the awakening of the public conscience, has caused a greater demand than ever for influence at the national capital, for these restrictive measures must be either killed or emasculated to "a point of uselessness by that process which is the salvation of many a corrupt manip- ulator, the process of amendment. - Predatory corporations, predatory business associations of different sorts and predatory individuals have their representatives on the field at. Wash- ington to ward off attack by any means that brains can devise or money pro- cure and to obtain desired favors at a cost that will leave a profitable balance for the purchaser. When commercial tricksters, believing in the lobbyists' favorite maxim, "The People Forget," feel that they have outlived the latest reform movement and see "the. good old days" returning, the professional politicians introduce a few reform measures themselves, most stringent measures. They push these measures ahead until somebody pays up, then the bills die. The lobbyist knows al] about these "strike" bills, but does not frown on them. No, no. Perhaps he helped draw up one of these bills so that, with the aid of his inside knowl- edge of his employer's business, the Measure is made to give a greater scare than might otherwise hake re- sulted. The bigger the scare the big- ger the fund advanced, of course, for the lobbyist to handle. All this also helps the lobbyist to secure and retain employment, Not all the Washington lobbyists are outside of congress. The senator or congressman has unequaled facilities for oiling or blocking the course of a bill. Sometimes he confines himself to the interests of his own clients. who- ever they may be. But sometimes he notices a. bill that promises to be a pretty good thing for the client of some other member if it passes. Then he begins to fight this bill so actively that he must be "let in on the deal" himself. This is very annoying to the Other member, but the experience is worth something. He has learned the value of observing other people's legis- lation. The outsiders (members of the "third house") and the insiders have a bona CoQ stipation Is The Cause of More Sick- ness Than Anything Else. If You Wish To 13e Well You Must Keep The Bowels Open.

Mr. Harry Revoy, Shanick, Ont., writes:--" Having beer troubled for years with constipation and trying many remedies without success, I finally purchased Milburn's Taxa. -Liver Pills and found the most beneficial; they are kicked splendid pills and I can .heartily recommend them."

This information' Is carefully tabulat- ed,, and now prices for passing or de- feating, legislation' can be quoted to interested parties just as the price of a carload of pork can be ascertained at a given time and place. Perhaps it is this system that leads grafting mem- bers of short experience to wonder how knowledge of their taking what is termed "the sugar" got out and be- came !mown /to their associates, Did they not have pledge of absolute se- crecy? Yes, but the purchaser never intended to keep the information from those of his kind. Lobbyists must be honest with each other. Not all lobbyists are men. The wo- man legislative agent has been known to occupy an important position in Washington, and she does :yet. She is hard todetect and frequently more un- principled than the men similarly en- gaged, if that is possible. A. woman with a measure of social standing would naturally prove the most successful as a lobbyist in Wash- ington because of the opportunities her position would afford her to meet people of prominence: And just such a one was Mrs. Cora Spangler, with whom the Langdons had 'b-,een thrown in contact quite intimately since their arrival at the capital. Pretty a ivaclous, Mrs. Span gl er bore her hirty-seven years with un- common ase,n aided possibly by makeup box and the modiste. Her dinners and receptions were attended' by people of acknowledged standing. Always a lavish spender of Money, this was explained as possible because of a fortune ]eft her by her late hus- band, Congressman Spangler of Penn- sylvania. That this "fortune" had consisted largely of stock and .bonds of a bankrupt copper smelting plant in Michigan remained unknown, ex- cept to her husband's family, one or two of her own relatives and. Senator Peabody, who, coming from Pennsyl- vania, had known her husband inti- 's mately. ' He it was who had suggested to her that she might make money easily by cultivating the acquaintance of 'the new members of both houses. and .their families, exerting, her influence in vari- ous "perfectly - legitimate ways," he argued, for or against matters pending in legislation. The Standard Steel cor- poration kept Mrs. Spanglerwell sup- plied -With- funds deposited monthly to her account be a Philadelphia trust. company. . ' ' She avoided suspicion by reason of her sex and her many acquaintances of undisputed rank. Senator Peabody was • never invited to her home, had never attended a single dinner, .recep- tion or musicale she bad given, all of which was a. part :of the policy they had mutually agreed on to deadenany suspicion that might some time arise as to her relation to the Standard Steel company. It was well known that Peabody had been put into the • senate by Standard Steel to look after its interests. He had found Mrs. Spangler chiefly valuable thus far as a source of infor- mation regarding the members of con- gress, which she obtained largely from 'their families. He was thus able to gain an idea of .their associations, their particular interests and their as- pirations in coming to congress, which proved of much use to him in forming and promoting acquaintances, all for the glory of Standard Steel. Senator Holcomb of Missouri told Mrs. Spangler at an afternoon tea con- fidentially that he was going to vote against the ship subsidy bill.. Senator Peabody was In- a,e. formed of this• two hours later by a notewrit- ten in cipher. When the vote was called two s- days later Sena - /;r' for Holcomb vot- /r. ed forthe bill.

Cora Spangler shuddered at the thought of what would become of her if she should make some slip, some fatal error, and be discovered to her friends as a betrayer of confidences for money. A secret agent of Stand- and Steel! What a newspaper story she would malce-"Society Favorite a Paid Spy;" "Woman Lobbyist' Flees Capital." The sensational headlines flitted through her mind. Then she would grit her teeth. and dig her finger' nail's into her palms. ,She had to have money to carry on the' life she loved so well. She must continue as she had begun. After all, she reasoned, noth- ing othing deflnite could ever be proved re- garding the past. Let the future care for itself. She might marry again and tree herself from this 'mode of life, who knows? So reasoned Cora Spangler for the hundredth fime . during the last two years as She sat in her boudoir at her home.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Erek. xivlf, 1.12. Memory Verse, 9 -.Golden. Text, Rey. xxii, '17-0ommentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearn". The prophets foretell a kingdom of peace and righteousness on this earth' to follow or in connection with the restoration of Israel and their recep- tion of Jesus Christ as their Messiah When He shall come again in power and glory. No one does this more. plainly than Ezekiel in chapter xxxvii, 21-28. The last eight chapters of this book describe the temple that is yet to he builded and the glory that shall fill the house when He will dwell in the midst of The children of Israel for- ever (xliii, 1.7; xliy, 4-15). The name of the city from that day shall be, "The Lord is there," Jehovah sham- mah (chapter xlviii, 35, margin). This story of the river of life, with its trees for meat and fruit and health, takes us back to the garden of Eden and onto the kingdom, Compare Joel. iii, 17, 1$; Zech. xiv, 8, 9; Rev, xxii, 1, 2; Ps, xlvi, 4, 5. The second book Of Psalms, which may be a response to the second book of the law (Exo- dus), begins with mention of living wa- ter and the rock from which it flowed. (Ps. slit, 1, 2, 9), and in I Cor. x, 4, we read, "They drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ." In the same chapter (verses 6, 11) we read that all these thingshappen. ed unto them for ensampies, and they are written for our. admonition. Full authority for drawing spiritual heart lessons from literal events is also found in II Cor. iv, 6, and its refer- ence "God whodco mwand• ed the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts." Glancing back at the Psalms a moment the se- quence of 45 to 48 is most beautiful and in accord with all Scripture, the marriage, the judgment, then the king- dom of. peace, with a king over all the earth, and Mount Zion, the city of the great king, the joy -of the whole earth. Compare Rey, six to xxl. Inasmuch as in our lesson verses we Sn);i the word "waters" fourteen times and the• word "river" seven times; .I take these two words as the key words to the heart of our lesson. I think of the waters above and waters below of Gen. 1, 6, 7; John iv, 13, 14, and of all our Lord's references to water in the first -seven chapters of John's gospel and desire to be a well ,and a river of the living water that flows from the throne of God. It our hearts are truly and wholly the throne of God and the Lamb it will be so, — • I expect to see a literal; river flow- ing from the city cif Jerusalem to • the Mediterranean and to the Jordan and Dead sea, according to our lesson and Zech.•xiv, 8, but if any cannot receive that let all receive the spiritual les- sons and so eat the word, as in last week's lesson, that all may be wells and rivers of living water, bringing life • to many wherever we go. The temple orthe tabernacle always tell us of His dwelling place on earth in the midst of His people and of His special presence above the mercy seat between the cherubim (Ex. xxv, 8-22). . The altar by which the waters flow reminds us that there can't be life or blessing apart from the great sacrifice of Himself for us . and His present ministry of intercession as our . great high priest The increasing volume of water to the ankles, the knees, the loins, a river to swim in, suggests the varied expert-' ence. of believers. He said: "I yam come --ilia they might have life and that they fight have it more abun- dantly. am the life" (John x, 10; xiv, 6). I written, "He that hath the Son hath life" (1 John V, 12). Many seem to know an ankle deep enjoyment of Him, while others live in the ocean of His love, and there are varied experiences between these two. May Phil. ill, 10; Ex. xxxiii, 13,. be our whole hearted desire, "That I may know Him," "That I may know Thee," abiding in a love that passeth knowl- edge. The waters give life and heal- ing, and the trees give meat and -fruit. In Eden herbs and trees were for meat and fruit (Gen. i, 20, 30). In Eden re- stored the tree of life will bear fruit every: month, 'and the leaves of the tree will be for thehealing of the na- tions (Rev. xxii, 2). Compare verse 12 of our lesson. ' It sg111 be a new day for the Dead sea when it shall have become a place for fishermen, but the waters shall be healed by the waters from the sanc- tuary flowing by the altar. Some one has said that the Dead sea is the greatest sin scar on earth because of the iniquity of' the cities buried be- neath it, but when the kingdom has fully come in the new earth there shall be no more curse; not in the millennial earth, for there shall still be unhealed places and death, but in the perfect. age or ages after the thousand years (verse 11; Tea. lxv, 20; Rev. txil, 3, 4). As far as we are individually con- cerned there can ' be nothing perfect about Its in thesemortal bodies, but in the glorified body we shall see as nev- er eeer before the meaning of aueh words as these: "Who forgiveth all thine in- igilities, who healeth all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy' life from destruc- tion" (Ps. eiii, 3, 4). We may even ,.here have large foretastes of kingdom blessedness in order that we may show to others the power of the .res. urrectioii life Which is already ours.
