TOlerably Easy.
Washington, July 19-The agreement
on the tariff bill between the senate
and house conferrees came suddenly

given up entirely to the house, but
You will discover" said Aldrich. in
discussing the matter among his col
leagues, that the senate saves some
thing. after all, and that it is not a
complete surrender on our part" and
an examination of the schedule as
agreed to bears him out. A very large
majority Of the senate amendments
were accepted. This was rendered nsces-
sary by several circumstances A num-
ber of amendments made by the SEN
ate were verbal: others were trivial.
and still others were made necessary to
secure harmony of construction. The
house conferrees accepted in most cases
all the alterations made by the senate
in order to secure the passage Of the
bill in that body.
The agreement presents an enti ely
new sugar schedule. at least in the
main item Of duty on raw and refined
suear-the fourth presented since the
bill emerged from the recesses of the
ways and means committee. The sched-
ule Is as follows: Sugars not above

The following amusing incident &C.
CURED in front of the Evans Pharmacy
last Friday morning and we publish it py
permission: Mr. Jacob Irons Miller, OF
Macon County, n. @, arrived in the city
Friday morning in his buggy and pro.
ceeded to make it known that he was
teaching the "Oklahoma Antiquel Art
Work" He drove to the from; of the
Evaus Pharmacy and alighted with pic.
ture in each hand aud approached the en-
trance Far back in the store. facing the
entrance, is q large mirror which adorns
the front of the prescription case. This
glass was Immediately in front Of Mr..
Miller, and all at once ne discovered what
he supposed to be competitor. He stop
ped short, and, gazing al him, lifted his
pictures to attract his attention. bis
competitor did the same. Miller's face
took on bewitching smile of friendllness
and he again raised his pictures. The
other man, with smile equally all friend.
ly, lifted his pictures He took step
forward and his new acquaintance did the
same. Quickly shifting both pictures to
one hanu, and, with countenance beam
ing with the most friendly Intentions, he
took another step forward, and, eS tending
aud elevating his hand and croolSing his
index finger, beckoned the other man to
approach. The other man did the same.
Instantly looking beyond the man, Miller
discovered horse and buggy exactly like
his own, and, turning, the trlth flashed
upon him-he had been holding panto-
mimic conversation with his own image
reflected from glass. On either side Of
the door, watching every motion and
change Of facial expression, stood several
Anderson men, noted for their keen appre-
citation of the ridiculous, They took in
the entire scene, and when 1t ended their
smothered mirth burst into immoderate
peals of laughter. To say that Miller Yves
chagrinned is expressing it mildly, but be
Joined in the fun and said: II hare trav-
eled mighty nigh eVerywhar-eight or teu
States and to Texas, but that's the worst
fooled I ever we're. I thought that feller
looked like me, but knowed il want me,
and seed he had picters and loud to
myself I'd like 10 git aauanted. Well
that's pretty heavy on me, but you tellers
can laugh and enjoy yoselves Iain't no
objections. Never seed my old horse
and buggy knowed was fooled. No,
let um laugh. love TO see um epjoy it !"
Miller seems brim full OF good nature
and we wish him success with his "Okla-
homs Antiquel art work.
