might have suspected that q trades

Kinley bill became q law. the lady,

winter boots. Calling for them on
the date agreed upon she found the
order filed by the prompt and
efficient bootmaker, but To her
establishment an tlI tag had sup
planted the usual 50 bill.
Inguirlng as to the meaning, Mrs.
Cultivate was calmly informed that
the passage Of this nefarious Tariff
law had compelled them to raise the
price Of all goods.
Surprised and suspicious, but
wholly unable To meet the case, the
lady put down the parcel and re-
fused to take the boots until she had
consulted with her husband.

The Buddha Gauiams, the teacher
OF the doctrine Of enlightenment, vss
borne at KapIIavHstu, India, about
600 years before Christ. Seeing the
evils thai afflicted mankind be gave
mp his right To the thorn Of the
5skyas, and devoted his life 10 the
solution Of the problem Of the soul.
After long and intense effort, and
after trying other religions, he OBJ
tanned, while seated one dsy under a
bo-tfee, enlightenment and spiritual
peace. This state he called Niryana.
After this he went about for forty
years teaching his gospel OF en-
llghienment aud Justice" and max
ing many Disciples. BE died in the
sO;h year of his age, FORT years after
his Nirvana.
Under the bO-tree Lord Buddha
discovered:
I. The miseries OF existence. =
=. The cause productive Of these.
3. The possibility 81 the destruc-
ton Of this cause.
Z. The way to destroy u.
He saw that the cause Of the mis-
cries Of existence lay In what he
called "trishua." or the "will-to-
live-for-to-enIOy," that when,
through enlightenment, this desire
ceases, Nirvana or spiritual peace
l. attained.

A CANNING factory In Warren
county, Ohio, has made q contract
with an Illinois firm for 800. 600 tin
cans Of two pounds capacity each,
at sl.ST per hundred cans. Last
year before we were under the bale
full infiuenee Of the MCKINLEY
infamy," the same establishment
paid 1926 per hundred cans, thus
saving $50 per hundred cans or tl1s.m
on the entire lot. IL will thus be
seen that local contemporary who
predicted that in less than one year
from the time the Mckinley law
went into effect the workingmen Of
the country could no longer afford
to buy tin dinner pals was need
lessIy alarmed. 4 little matter Of
over a third OF 3 cent cheaper will
not make any difference In the price
Of the cans TO the consumer but we
have the satisfaction Of knowing
that American mills, manufacturers
and workingmen are benefited by
the Mckinley law.

In FreepOrt, Ill.-Frceport will
excuse this: it was wild and woolIy
then-a party sat at play in the
upper loft Of a salt warehouse.
Candles burning in bottles furnish
ed the electric light system of the
occasion. One OF the PLAYERS con-
tributed his leather wallet to the
game each time that he raised bet.
1t was well stuffed and tied with
twine string, and no objection was
made TO it until he withdrew it and
doubled bet.
I'll raise yon %lO.' he said and
threw the wallet on the table agaiu.

Literary Notes.

The second instalment of the
"Talleyrand Memoris," to be
published in the February
Century, will be devoted en-
tirely to Talleyrand's narra-
ton of his personal relations
with Nepoleon Bonaparte.
Talleyrand apologies for TAX
ing Office under the Directory,
describes his first meeting
with Bonaparte, tells how the
the first consul snubbedan old
acquaintance, and relates 9th
er anecdotes of Napoleon tend
ing to emphasize the weak
nesses and vanities of the en-
peror. Talleyrand criticizes
Nepoleon's Spanish policy, ,and
gives a detailed account-from
notes which he had taken of
the conversational an inter
view that Napoleon had at
Erfurt with Goethe and Vie
land.
