used phrase. The hare is not reputed to
be ferocious at any time. Those who have
given information respecting the hare as
sert that in March the animal is perfectly
wild and shy. Consequently the phrase
can have no meaning unless a sarcastic
allusion to ones lack of spirit and cour-
age.
One often hears ''he's dead as door
nail, yet it is probable that most of those
who use the phrase cannot tell why a door
nail should be any deader than any other
nail that is made of metal 1t is EXPLAIN
ed, however, that the doornail in earlier
times was the plate on the door upon
which the old fashioned and now unused
''knocker" struck to arouse the inmates
OF the house. As the plate or nail was
struck many more times than any other
nail, it was assumed TO be deader than
nail struck only when driven into wood.
An talk and no cider" is an adage
which is said to have originated in Bucks
county, Pa. a party was assem- bled tc
drink barrel Of superior cider, but the
elders of the assemblage engaged in a pol
ftical discussion, which lasted so long
that some who were less interested in pol
itics than cider withdrew on the plea that
the invitation was a trap TO get them to
listen to a political talk rather than to
drink cider. One Of them said it was
''all talk and no cider"
To take the cake had its origin in the
cake walk in which colored couples partici-
pated, the prize being a cake. Hence any
one who does thing conspicuously well,
or, sarcastically and more usually, one
who fails, is said Ito take the cake"
"A little bird told me" is an almost uni
yersal adage, based upon the idea that
this ubiquitous wanderer from the van
tage of the upper air spies out all strange
and secret things and tells them to those
who can understand. Thus in Ecclesi-
astes x, 20, Curse not the king-no, not
in thy thought-and curse not the rich in
thy bedchamber, for the bird Of the All
Will carry the voice, and that which hath
wings shall tell the matter. New York

prove every charge false.
This ended the correspondence sent to
congress. being all that could be sent by
the steamer from Honolulu. One point
decided by the correspondence is the state
ment in recent dispatches that Willis had
requested Dole to SUPPRESS all the CORE

gest was that the correspondents above
Summarized should be suppressed. This

FINED FOR GIVING OVERWEIGHT.
A Case Arising Under the Oieomargarin,
Tax statute.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Secrctary Car
Isle has agreed to compromise case aris-
ing under the internal revenue bureau
against Armour g. Co. Of Chicago. Some
time ago it was ascer:ained that the COM
pany was unknowingly delivering to mer-
chants packages of hutterine containing
prints which weighed fraction of an
ounce more than pound, and on. which
the tax had been paid ut SO much per
pound. As soon as the matter was report
ed to Armour headquarters their agent
was sent to Washington to assist in the in
vestigation.
1t svas admitted that the pound packages
were overweight. but the claim was sub
mittcd that il was the fault of the moulds.
The compromise arrived ut is that the
company is to pay Sis rs taxes on the
overweight on the prints estimated to have
been sent out, and s2,0c0 specific penalty
Tor n violation of the law. This is not all
the company's loss in the matter, how
ever for to the above sums must be added
the value Of the excessive weight
Of buttcrine in the packages. which
amounted in the aggregate to about q, 80
pounds.
