Total Supplies IN tho United States no.
100000 Busheis Less Than Last Year.
The worlds wheat visible of about
225 zoe, 900 bushels was never larger.
About half OF it il in North America

Duluth, Chicago and New York. 1t is
conceded farmers have less invisible and

values than at any similar date; that
they have marketed winter and spring
wheat more cloeely than usual for a score
OF years prior to January l. 1t is con-

July have been about 1l5 900, 600 BUSH

and about 1909 900 900 for an average for
seven years. Exports since June 50
have been about 90,000,000 bushels,

all average for five years OF 1925 .49l
bushels. We do not think we have more
than &c, 000, 900 to spare during the next
seven months. December II, 1889, the
visible reached the largest amount for
the year. January 81, last, the visible
reached the maximum amount on record

THE WILSON TARIFF BILL.

The Majority Report of the ways and

The majority report Of the WAYS and
means committee has been submitted to
the house. The report says:
The American people, after the fullest
and most thorough debate ever given to
their fiscal policy, have deliberately de-
cided to right the existing tariff, wrong

Grafton. They have decided, as free men
must always decide, that the power Of
taxation has no lawful and constitutional
exercise except for providing revenue Tor
the support Of the government. Every
departure from this is a departure from
the fundamental principles Of free insti-
tutions, and inevitably works gross
inequality in the citizenship Of the coun-
try. For over 30 years we have levied
the larger part Of our federal taxes in vi
olation OF this vital truth, until we have
reached the present tariff and an ex-
.reme and voluminous system Of class
taxation, to which history may be chal-
lenged to furnish a parallel. So many
private enterprises have been taken into

How Old Is the Human Race?

The fullest answer that science can
yet give to the three most interesting
questions, perhaps ever asked, in the
world, are explained in an interesting
article in the December Forum, by Dr.
Daniel q. Brinton, the ethnologist. These
questions are "When did the first
man APPEAR" "Ry what process did he
appear?" and, "Where did he appear p
Summing up all that biologists and
anthropologists know, he appeared GER
tainly $4,000 years ago, and IT
may be as many as 10000 years ago
The evidences of his existence which
date back 80, 900 years are unmistakahle.
By what process he came into being, eel
ence has no definite answer. If it refuse
to accept the doctrine Of specific creation,
it must refuse also, for lack of complete
evidence, to accept the doctrine of grad
ual evolution old Darwlnian doc
trine. DR.. Brinton thinks the theory
of "evolution by leap" is just ae
good as any other theory. According
to this, man sprung from some high
order of mammal, the great tree-ape per-
haps, by freak, just az men of genius
are freaks, and as all the vegetable ant
animal kingdom show freaks. AS t.
where man first appeared, it is beyont
doubt that his earliest home was il
Southern Europe, or Asia, or NORTH
Africa. No earlier traces OF him hav,
been found than in the area that is nov
England, France and Spain.

Prisoners Take Desperate Chances.

Diving from trains moving at the rate
OF 30 miles an hour to gain liberty has
become common practice among the
prisoners being transferred from Walla
Walla penitentiary to McNeil's island,
Tacoma. Four prisoners made the dive
during the past week at different times,
but not one escaped. One man was
badly injured and he was trailed through
the woods by blood from his wounds.
United States Marshal Drake says it has
become mania among the prisoners to
take such operate chances.

Three Women BrutaiIy whipped.

For several years past the people of the
hamlet of Greenhill, Pike county, Ala,
have looked with suspicion on three wo-
men who lived in a hut in that settle
ment. The women called themselves
Spec, Bess and Lizzie, and said they were
sisters. A few days ago the older men Of
the town met and decided to rid the
neighborhood of them on the fear that
their presence WAS demorslizing. Ac-
cordingly the biackcsp society Was
formed and went in a body to the house,
dragged out the three women and logged
them numerically, after which the wo-
men we're told to leave the country. 1t
is reported that one was fatally injured.

An Anecdote of Justice Fuller.

The chairman of the lecture committee
in Oldtown, Me-, told me that he once
belonged to. a debating club of which
the chief justice, when boy, was a
member. One evening "Capital Punish
ment" was the subject debated. The
deacon of the church and two clergymen
were for hanging. Young Fuller was
opposed.
Said the deacon, quoting from the Mo-
sale law, "Whoso sheddeth mans blood,
by man his blood shall be she'd" Think
ing this to be bombshell to his oppo-
nents. he dwelt upon it till his time had
expired, when the boy sprang to his feet
and said:
"Supposing we take the law which the
gentleman has quoted and see what the
logical deduction would come to. For
example, one man kills another; another
man kills him, and so on until we come
to the last man on earth. Who's going
to kill him2 He dare not commit sui
eide, for the same law forbids it. Now,

Princess and Little Boy.

A fellow guest at the Savoy with the

achievement of the full measure of one
small boys ambition. The little fellow
greatly admired the Spanish woman,
but always at distance until one day
he took his place at the end of the COR
ridor leading from her rooms with the
avowed intention of at least waving his
hands as she passed. When his patience
was finally rewarded by her approach,
the child's speaking face at once arrested
the infanta's attention.
Stopping, she said, reaching out to
her delighted adInirer: "What dear lit
tie boyl must have kissl" and she
got it at once. with hug thrown in. an
enthusiasm which SO pleased the royal
woman that she asked the name and
residence of the young hero. Finding
he was living in the hotel, at her next
leisure she sent an invitation to his par
ents to come with him to her apart
ments. where they were received with
great cordiality and the small boy pet

hearts content.-New York Times
