better known than that of John Fer
rier.
There was one way, and only one, in
which he offended the susceptibilities
of his coreligionists. No argument or
persuasion could ever induce him to
set up q female establishment after
the manner of his companions. He
never gave reasons for this persistent
refusal, but contented himself by reso-
lutely adhering to his determination.
There were some who accused him of
lukewarmness in his adopted religion.
and others who put it down to greed of
wealth and reluctance to incur ex-
pense. Others, again, spoke of some
early love affair, and of fair-haired
girl who had pinned away on the shores
of the Atlantic. Whatever the reason,
Ferrier remained strictly celibate. In
every other respect he conformed to
the religion of the young settlement.
and gained the name of being an or
thodox and straight-walking man.

The cries of the foul birds awoke the
two sleepers, who stared about them in
bewilderment. The man staggered to
his feet and looked down upon the
plain which had been so desolate when
sleep had overtaken him. and which
was now traversed by this enormous
body of men and of beasts. His face
assumed an expression of Incredibly

An Artist Resorts to Strategy to Obtain
His Subjects Best Expression.
1t is often difficult for a portrait
least his most natural, expression. Or
one occasion, when an artist was
painting Paganini's portrait, he found
the musician strangely destitute of an
imatiOn, and realized that he must find
some method of rousing him. He be-
gan humming the tune of little mo.
two in one of Paganini's concerts. The
musician looked up, alert.
You have been in Strasburg?" asked
he.
Never"
Then how did you hear that air?''
81 heard you play it."
NO, if you have not been in Stras-
burg!''
Yes, in London"

first appearance in Strasburg, and
never played it in London"

beautiful eyes frightened at the re-

to glow at the recollection of the mem

stood together and were mutually in
spired by each Others excellence.
PASTA he repeated. How she
sang that nightr'

''Ah." he exclaimed, with a shrug OF
satisfaction, but that motive. Yes, i

She Was Perfectly Happy.

81 shall never say 1 dom have at
good time again." said the woman in
the new fall gown. THE other day
saw a woman know who has to stay
at home all the time with her sick old
father. She was radiant. She said it
was the second time she had been
away from home in year. She lives
in one of the suburbs. Her face was
beaming; she had been to Danvers to
see a relative in the insane asylum;
she told me the gardens there are very
beautiful. She was carrying big
bunch of flowers, and where do you
think she was going? To put them on
her bsother's grave! There was no
use feeling sorry for that woman, but
l did, though she said she was perfect
ly happy to get out of the house once

witty and, let us hope, an edifying
manner is related as follows:

nose, q deformity about which, in spite
of his piety, he was known to be lit

propounded the old question:
How happened you to break your

The minister answered solemnly:

NEEDS AMENDING.
Tariff Act Passed by the Last Congress
Not Satisfactory.

Tariff Act Passed by the Last Congress
Not Satisfactory.
The tariff act passed ut the last session
of congress needs important amendments
if it Is to be executed effectively and with
certainty. In addition to such necessary
amendments as will change rates of duty,
am still very decidedly in favor of put
ting coal and iron upon the free list.
So far as the sugar schedule is concerned
/ would be glad under existing aggrava-
tions to see every particle of differential
duty in favor of refined sugar stricken out
of our tariff law. If with all the favor
now accorded the sugar refining interest
in our tariff laws it still languishes to the
extent of closing refneries and thousands
of discharged workmen it would seem to
present hopeless case for reasonable leg
islative aid
Favors FREQ American Registry.
The ancient provision of our law deny
ing American registry to ships built
abroad and owned by Americans appears,
in the light of present conditions, not
only to be a failure for good ut every port.
but to be nearer relic of barbarlsm than
anything that exists under the permission
of statute of the United States
earnestly recommend it's prompt repeal.

opinion that tho year 1925 being the 3oth
after the close Of the war of the rebellion

culation, see the highest limit of the PEN
sion roll, and after a year it must begin to

The claims pending in the bureau have
increased more than $1,000 during the
year. A large proportion of the new claims
filed are for increase of pension by those
now on the rolls. -,.v 30 d.,

The names dropped from the rolls for all
causes during the year numbered 37,951.
Among our pensioners are widows and
3 daughters of soldiers of the Revolution
and IS survivors Of the war of 1912.
Purgation Was Necessary.
The barefaced and extensive pension
frauds exposed under the direction of the
courageous and generous veteran soldier
now at the head of the bureau leave no
room for the claim that no purgation of
our pension rolls was needed or that con-
tinued vigilance and prompt action are
not necessary to the same end.
The accusation that an effort to detect
pension frauds is evidence of unfriendli-
ness toward our worthy veterans and q
denial of Their claims to the generosity of
the government suggests an unfortunate
indifference to the commission Of any Of
fsnse which has for its motive the secur-
ing of q pension and indicates willing
ness to be blind to the existence Of mean

said statute, a commission for the purpose
of making careful inquiry into the causes
of the controversies between certain rail
roads and their employees, which resulted
in an extensive and destructive strike,
accompanied by much violence and dan
gerous disturbance with considerable loss
of life and great destruction of property.

been submitted to me and will be submit

due to the successful working Of tho plan
inaugurating circuit courts of appeals. In
regard to these tribunals the suggestion
is N; e, in quarters entitled to the high
est consideration, that an additional judge
for each circuit would greatly strengthen
these courts and the confidence reposed In
their adjudications, and that such addi-
ton would not create greater force OF
judges than the increasing bushes of such
courts requires. commend the sugges-
ton to the careful consideration of con-
gress.
Other Important Topics. j"
Other important topics are adverted to
in the report accompanied by recommends
atoms, many of which have been treated
at large in previous messages, and at this
time therefore need only be named. re-
fer to the abolition of the fee system as a
measure of compensation to federal off,
GERS; the enlargement of the powers of
United States commissioners, at least IN
the territories, the allowance of writs OF
error in criminal cases on behalf of the
United States and the establishing of
degrees in the crime of murder. The es-
Establishment of federal court in the In
dian Territory is also strongly recon-
mended.
Another subject of pressing moment re-
ferred to by the attorney general is the re-
organization of the Union Pacific Railway
company on basis equitable as regards
all private interests and as favorable to
the government as existing conditions will
permit. The operation of railroad by
court through receiver is an anomalous
state of things which should be termin-
ated, on all grounds public and private, at
the earliest possible moment.
Federal Prisons.
Eight years ago. in my annual message,
urged upon congress as strongly as l
could the location and construction of two
prisons for the confinement of U. S. pris-
oners. A similar recommendation has
been made from time to time since, and q
few years ago law was passed providing
for the selection of sites for three such in
situations. No appropriation has how
ever been made to carry the act into effect,
and the old and discreditable condition
still exists.
