Swift Retribution.

There was a wicked leer in Meandering
Mikes eye as be saw the little girl coming
out Of the restaurant side door, carrying a
small tin pail. THE ideal" he exclaimed to
his comrade, "of Encouraging SIGH luxuries
in de young" Its our duty to stop il" was
the reioinder. Before the little girl could
turn the corner the tramp doomed up before
her and exclaimed: I'm sorry, lady, but |
couldn't see We carryin' dat pail any furder.
It's agin me gallantry." The little girl be-
gan to cry. Mike seized the bucket and in a
moment had the bottom of it pointed to-
ward the blue sky. The effect was volcanic.
Foam few in all directions. His one ejacu.
lation solved the mystery: Soap suds!'
And when the restaurant proprietor came
out and desired to know why his children
could not blow soap bubbles without being

TuE oIeI THAT BELIEVES IN ME-.

OF all the pretty maidens
There's none so sweet as she,
That simple, trusting iassie,
The girl who believes In me.
There are some with greater beauty,
And some that whittier be;
But there's only one wee grille
That ever believed In me.
She's never been to college,
Knows not her A u G.
Yet she has stores of wisdom
cor she'd not believe in mel.
She's not an ancient lassie,
Her years they are but three:
Which, maybe. is the reason
That she believes In me.

Can Canadian Pacific Make
War on American Interests?
Senator EIkins Of West Virginia
Asserts that It Can.
A Sensational Speech in Senate on a Subject
Worth Consideration.

Washington, March 2.-Today's de-
bate in the Senate on the Alaskan
homestead and railway right of way
bill was decidedly spirited. Mr.. Carter
Of Montana, delivered vigorous
speech in reply to that made during
the past two days by Mr. Rawlins of
| tab. in the course of which he made
a strong defence of the honor of con-
gressiOnal committees and officials in
The several government Departments.
one of the special features of the de-
bate was a speech delivered by Mr..
Elkins of West Virginia, in which ne
explained how the Canadian Pacific
Railway was enabled to make war up
on American interests and how and
why aggression of that great railroad
ought to he stopped by the United
States. Mr.. EIkins' speech arouesd
much interest, particularly that part in
which he explained that while he did
not frame the now famous section %
of the present tariff law, he stood
squarely with the sterling American
who did frame it,
The speech drew replies from Mr..
Hoar of Massachusetts. Mr.. Chiffon of
Texas. and Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota.
Mr.. Hoar maintained that large part
of the speech of Mr.. Elkins was irrel-
cvant to the pending discussion. he
would not admit that the aggressions
of the Canadian Pacific were so serious
as the West Virginia senator would
have people believe.
Mir. Nelson entered IA sharp protest
20 Mr. Elkins' proposition to abolish
the bonding privileges. holding that
that privilege was in the direct inter-
est of the people of the Northwest.
Mr.. Chiffon contended that under re-
cent decisions of the supreme court
the long and short haul clause of the
interstate law did not apply to the
competition between American rail-
roads and the Canadian Pacific.
