Mr.. Perkins (Rep. ;, Cal. thanked Mr. Jones
for restoring the duty on olive oil.
"Don't thank him too proiuseiy, inter-
rupted Mr.. Chandler. "or he will withdraw

Mr.. Frye criticised the proposed rate on

which he thought unjust. He moved to sub
stitute cents per gallon Qhe Mckinley
duty) for 25 per cent. Eight cents was
equivalent to 33 per cent.
Nj. Fryes amendment was lost-25 to 3d.
He then moved another amendment to make
the rate cents, instead of 25 per cent. the
two rates being equivalent. This amend
ment was also lost-24 to 80. In the next
paragraph. opium extracts for medicinal
uses, the House rate was 25 per cent. The

DEEDS answered Hiss Hester, magnani-
inouslv. land grant you that such heroism,
like charity. may cover multitude OF sins.
But this mans otlense5 are too many and
fragrant to Be pailiated. He must be gotten
rid OF. Harry
BE it here recorded, parenthetcaly, that
Col. Bob was not easily shaken of when he
elected otherwise.
Ee stayed on, and while 50 doing carried
forward the work he had begun upon his ar
rival in the village. 1t was not long till he
had made himself obnoxious-to put it
mildly--to the majority OF the citizens of the
community.
1t seemed as if he willfully snned against
the established canons and cloried in his
shame. He promulgated his iconocastic
opinions at many unseemiy times and places.
He plunged headlong into arguments and in
cited discussions. during which he drew the
! most unccmpl!nentary comparisons between
the enterprislng West and effete East. He
met and vanqrished the revered oldest in
ha5i,ant on his own grounds. Wherever two
or three citizens were gathered together there
Col Bob was pretty sure TO be in the
midst OF them, indust-iously making enemies
for himself.
Into gathering Of representative citizens.
met to Gravely discuss the repairing OF the
old wooden bridge at a probable cost of S97
and odd cents came the Ishmaelite and cheer
proyements and enterprises. which he guar
anteed would speedily bring about a boom.
He could not understand that a boom was not
desired, and when his suggestions were coldly
rejected and an attempt made to squelch him,
he waxed sarcastic in his disgust Mt their
blindness. and made himself quite unpopular.
About this time the ladies of the church in
augurated q fair and festival, the proceeds OF
which were to be used in ameiiorating the
wretched condition of sundry benighted
pagans on certain remote isles in the Pacific
Ocean. Col. Bob attended for no other rea-
son than that he had been invited. When
solicited by certain Jealous workers to test
the surprising possibilities of the grab-bag
and try his luck in several guessing contests
he replied that he seldom gaubled, and had.
moreover. made it n rule of his life never to
run up against another mans game.
The implied allegation was Indignantly re-
futed. and he was informed that it was for the
good of the cause, anyhow. The Ishmaelite
thrust his hands deeper into his pockets and
stalked away in silence Thinking, perhaps,
| 10 proselyte him. the Jealous workers followed
him with arguments, whereupon he expressed
