enough, under 1t was an old salt bag and
CASTOR OK sandal: so, making a sudden
spring from the side of the devil he gath
cred up the bag, the grass and sandal and
hanging them on a branch OF the tree his
charm was perfect. The devil could not
come within thirty feet.
or course the devil used every induce
ment to get Tong to come forth, but the
old fellow stuck to his post. At last
the devil went Off and got a roasted OK
head and a cask of Mackalee, and rolled
them in to Tong, confident from what he
had told him, that Tong would be driven
outside the magic circle. But when ne
saw Tong eating heartily of the beef and
drinking the macalee with gusto, he re-
allied that the game was up, and despair
ingly departed
Tong's long life was due to the accident
by which his page In the Book of Fate
stuck TO the next one, so that his name
was overlooked. When ultimately the
complaint was made that Tong had been
living too long, IL took the registrar OF
the lower regions 346 years TO hunt up his
name In the archives.

KOREAN LEGEND.
How the MethuseIah OF Their Ny

How the NethuseIah OF Their Ny

VIM. E. Curtis VA the Chicago Record.
The Koreans have an interesting legend
concerning the manner In which Tong
Pak-suls, the Methuseah Of their mythol-
ogy, got the better OF satan. Tong lived
1000 years and acquired great wisdom.
The later years OF hls-life were spent In
fishing. but not Wishing to diminish the
stock OF FISH Ia the river, he used n
straight piece Of wire, instead Of hook.
Thus he was able TO enjoy the excitement
and pleasure Of fishing for several centu-
ries without catching a single fish.
Realizing that sooner or later the devil
who did DEATHS errands would be looking
him up. he changed his naufs and abode
with each genera (fh and thus eluded him.
In the meantime the evil one disguised
himself In a flowing Korean robe which
covered up his tall concealed his horns

the devil washing the charcoal, he asked

mr.. Keller moved an amendment includ-
ing in the free list rough lumber manu-
featured of white pine"
The senator criticised the clause of the
committee In placing white pine on the
dutiable list, thus encouraging the de-
slfuction OF pine when it was known the
supply would not last eight years.
Mr.. Teller said he was for protection
but he would not carry it to extremes
compelling every man building a home or
using a stick of pine to pay tribute to the
few owners of pine. This was not republi-
can doctrine, which was opposed to ad-
vance of prices on the necessities of life
Mr.. Teller declared that the duty on pine
was one of the many absolutely indefensi-
bic features of this bill.
This reopened the discussion on the duty
on white pine, which was vigorously con-
tested in the early stages of the bill, re.
sulting at that time in retaining pine on
the dutiaole list at 81 per 1000 feet.
Senators Gray and Mantle supported Mr.
Tellers motion. Mr.. Spooner opposed the
motion on the ground that the duty was
fair measure of protection to an extern
sive industry of three border states. This
was not proposition to place all kinds
of lumber, those of Maine and the south
and west on the free list but merely to
discriminate against the white pine of
those three states. The amendment was
defeated.
Mr.. Mantle moved to reduce the duty
on white pine from 81 to 81 per 1000 feet
He read from the statement of a lumber
man that 81 lumber rate would be pro-
hibitory, and he appealed to the demo-
cratic senator's to vote unitedly and thus
overcome this high rate. The amendment
was carried by the close vote of 30 to 81,
after another break in party lines on both
sides of the chamber.
AT 5:35 o'clock the bill was laid aside,
and after an executive session, the Sen
ate adjourned.

HOUSE AND THE TARIFF.
Probable Course of the Bill After
Leaving the Senate.

Probable Course of the Bill After
Leaving the Senate.
Washington, July 1.-When the tariff
bill reaches the House, after it has passed
the Senate, it is not probable there will be
any attempt to oppose the motion which
will be made either directly by the chair
man or by the operation of a special order
to disagree to the Senate amendments,
and send the bill to conference. The re-
publican leaders do not think there is any
necessity for debate until the bill is re-
ported back by the conferees and the
democrats are inclined to the same opin-
ion.
Mr.. Bailey, the leader of the minority,
said to-day that he would not oppose
motion to get the bill into conference pro-
vided the republicans would agree TO
reasonable time for debate when the bill
is reported back to the House. He thought
three or four days for discussion at THAI
time would be sufficient. The number of
conferees to be appointed on behalf of the
House has not been yet decided, nor the
political division, but the conferees, as
usual will be the ranking members of the
ways and means committee from each
side. 1t is probable that there will be
seven conferees. The political division
may be five and two, or four and three.
The republican committeeman, in their
ranking order, are Messrs Dingley, chair
man; Payne, Dalzell, Hopkins, Grosven-
or, Russell, Dolliver Steele. Johnson
Evans and Tawney, and the democrats,
Messrs. Bailey, Mcmillan, Wheeler, Nc
Laurin Robertson and Swanson.
The estimate of the time the bill will be
in conference ranges from two to ten days.
but the best opinion is that the conferees
will report the bill back a week from next
Monday, If it comes from the Senate the
latter day.
