The laugh is ON Congressman Roger Q.
Mills of Texas, chairman of the Ways and
Means committee, and sponsor for the new
Democratic tariff bill Mr.. Mills came up
TO Providence, r. l., to make free trade
speech and told his audience among other
things that, seamless stockings being made in
England by "A secret process, it won't do any
hurt to import them. The foreigners, he
went on, won't let us into their mills to see
how these stocking are made therefore,
Content yourselves with those which are
not seamless come to Congress and ask us
to make laws to govern things that you
can't make a day or two afterward Mr..
Long, of Massachusetts,, laid on Mr. Mills's
desk neat package from West Quincy,
Mass, firm Of half-hose makers The
package contained pair of seamless hose
and note telling Mr. Mills that if he would
call on the makers they would give him in
confidence that rare English secret of max
ing seamless hose which he said was un-
known in this country. 'If, added the
firm, lit were not for the vast system of
differentiation which prevails, we could
name scores of small manufacturers like
ourselves with a production of 100 dozen II

ploy five times as many hands and pay them
better wages, although those we pay now

One of the serio amusing incidents of the
situation on Monday and Tuesday was the
case of u Putney bride-elect whose wedding
day was set for Tuesday. She came TO
Brattleboro Monday morning TO make some
final purchases of wedding Rnery, but when
night came the trains were not running
north, the walking was bad, and she was
constrained to stay in Brattleboro over
night. Tuesday was long, long day, but
the young woman's face was longer than
the day, and there was a suspicion of red
ness and wetness about the eyes when ever
and anon she sought the telephone TO as
sure the would-be benedict at the Putney
end that she really aud truly didn't mean
TO leave him 10 mourn, and il was the hor
rid horrid snow that kept her from flying TO
his arms. She got away home on the train
wednesday noon, and Thursday morning
she was once more in Brattleboro, but only
so long as the ten O'Clock train stopped here
