dered fayorably reported. The treaty was
negotiated and signed last July by Com
missioner Kasson and Ambassador cam
bon. and was sent to the Senate ny the
President on December 9.
The vote on reporting it was not unani-
nous. it being opposed by Senators Fora
Eer of Ohio and Clark Of wyoming IL
was not amended. as il was found that
under its terms 1t would not be pract-
cable to change any OF the concessions
Granted by Commissioner Kas5on- As soon
as the treaty is reported to the Senate
demand will be made for it by the Finance
Committee on the ground that only that
committee which alone has charge OF all
tariff matters, is competent TO Judge
whether existing tariff laws have been
urfustty dealt with in concessions that
have been granted French manufactures
and products. II is probable that the
treaty will he referred to the FINANCE
Ccmmittee as there is a determined oppo-
sitiou in the Senate TO the convention.
aud il will not b. reported back from that
committee but will be allowed TO slumber
there until the period for ratihcatioh mas

though the local committee had decided
upon the Memorial Bridge. originally, they
were heartily in favor of the report.
Governor Lind. of Minnesota. then asked
that the report be modified, SO as TO allow
some action by Congress. He stated that
he did not want TO take the initiative IN a
matter which belonged to Congress.
Senator Mcmillan then stated that the
report merely suggested plan LOT the
action of Congress. Governor Atkinson, OF
West Virginia. stated that the report should
be changed so as to advise that the White
House be repaired from the ground up.
or build an entire new Executive Mansion.
The words "or a new building" were added
TO the clause. Governor McMillin, OF Ten
nessee, argued that the matter should De
left to Congress TO decide. He praised the
beauty of the present building. and stated
that he did not want to see it destroyed
Governor Thomas. of Colorado. said that
as no action had as yet been taken by
Congress to improve the White House. II
might be good thing to suggest ana
recommend that the old building either
be improved and enlarged. or that an en-
tirely new building be constructed. he
held that the advocacy of the plan by the
Governors of many States might have
good effect. and the report would be well
coined by Congress-.
The report was then adopted. 1t will first
be presented to the President and later TO
Congress. Chairman Hale and the mem
bers of the citizens committee were ap-
pointed a special committee to present the
report to the President. 1t was then de-
cided to appoint an executive committee
of ten members to form a standing COM
mittee to look after all matters pertaining
to the celebration. The committee will re-
port to the President The members OF
the committee are Senator Perkins, Rep
resentative Heatwole, Governor Dyer OF
Rhode Island. Governor Tyler Of Virginia.
Commissioner Wight, Representative Bell
of Colorado. T. w. Noyes. John Joy Edison,
NJ. NJ. Parker. and W. V. Cox.
The committee then adjourned, subject
to call, and went to the White House,
where they were received by the President.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
A Substitute for the Pending Meas

The Republican members of the House

Payne shipping bill in hand. have agreed
upon a substitute for the pending meas
ure and it will be offered in the House

The delay in reporting the bill from the
committees to the two houses has been oc-
casioned by the opposition of four Repub-
licans in each committee. whose votes
we're necessary for favorable action. The
opposition arose principally from certain

A Uniaue RIVER.

Unique in it's kind is no doubt the
Mocona waterfall in the South Ameri-
can republic of Uruguay, situated
about two miles below the mouth Of
the Piperi Assn river into the Uru-
quay. A great rock divides the river
into two separate streams in such a
manner that the right arm continues
it's flow on the original level while
the second arm falls gradually, so that
it finally lies % feet below the level
of the other arm. The bed of the up
per part of the river is not very deep,
and the water flows partly in a right
angle to the river, thus forming wa
terfall of more than two miles in
length.
This unique view presents itself to
the traveller, however, only during the
winter, for in the summer, and espe-
cially during the rainy season, the
Uruguay contains such immense guam
titles Of water that both arms form
one single stream, navigable even for
the largest freight steamers. The fall
has been known for centuries, and a
description of it was published as early
as 1891 by the Rev. Antcnius Sepp,
missionary from Tyrol, who spent over
20 years among the Indians Of Uru-
quay.

witchcraft.

"The sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies," said John Fiske, "were the
fourishing ages Of the witchcraft de-
fusion. Witchcraft, in the early ages,
was considered one Of the greatest of
crimes, as much so as murder, robbery
or any other serious offense against
the law, and the belief in it was shared
by the whole human race until the lat
ter part Of the seventeenth century.
"In England, in 1864, two women
were tried before Sir Matthew Hale,
charged with bewitching several girls
and baby, and they were put to
death, for at that time the evidence
seemed perfectly rational. In 1915, in
Genoa, 500 people were burned to
death on the charge of witchcraft. It
was the proud boast of a noted execu-
toner in northern Italy, at this time,
that in Is years he had assisted in
burning 900 persons charged with sor-
Gerry. In Scotland, between 1860 and
1900, 5000 people were put to death,
an average Of 200 year. The last
execution for witchcraft in England
took place in 1912, in Scotland in 1922,
In Germany in 1749 and in Spain in
1881"

The opposition to the administra-

many occasions during the past year
but will hesitate from giving the fol-
lowing sentiment circulation. In a
recent interview Senator Hoar said:
II think the future of the Philippine

ident Mckinley than of Mr.. Bryan,
in the hands of the Republican party
than of Tammany Hall or Sthe solid

Our Endurance.

During life each member Of the
human body produces poison to itself
When this poison accumulates faster
than it can be eliminated, which al
ways occurs unless the muscle has
an interval Of rest, then will come
fatigue, which is only another express
sion for toxic infection.
If the muscle is given an interval OF
rest, so that the cell can give off Its
waste product to keep pace with the
new productions. the muscle will then
Hberate energy for a long time. This
latter condition is what we call en-
durance.
Like any other ponderous and in
tricate machine, the body requires
time to get in harmonious working
order. The brain, nerves, heart and
skeletal muscles must be given some
warning Of the work they are expected
to perform. Ignorance of this fact has
broken down many a young man who
aspired to honors on the cinder path.
The necessity of getting all the parts
of the body slowly in working order is
we'll understood by trainers and jockeys
on the race track, as is evinced by the
preliminary warming up they give
their horses, although it is doubtful if
the trainers could give any physiologic
reason for their custom.-Popular

IT is not at all surprising, says the
Benson Times, after the statement BY
Candidate Bryan in his speech of &C.
ceptance last Wednesday that if he
was elected his first act would be to
convene congress and recommend
the independence of the Fillipinos
and guarantee them protection from
outside in. preference while they
struggled with the problem of self
government, that the news comes at
once that the Filipino junta at Hong
Kong has offered to subscribe five
million dollars to his campaign fund.
We don't believe the people of this
country want to haul down their flag
and back out of the proposition in
shat way. 1t is to much like the de-
claration of the democratic platform
in 1864 that the civil war was a fail
ure, and the result will be the same
as then. However much Mr.. Bryan
and men of his ilk may try to cripple
the government in order to advance
their party ends they can never do SO
by asking the people to make it act
the towards part. That Hong Kong
money, if it ever reaches the hands of
Bryan's campaign treasurer and
mingles with the quarter million
given by the bride giver Clark of
Montana, may make glad the hearts
of the ward heaIers, but ten times
that amount could never place man
in the White House who declares
that his first act will be to force the
to turn back in course
which is upheld by all nations and
has the approval of large majority
Of it's citizens.

CouIdn't See the Joke.

Once Offenbach graciously accepted
the invitation of some friends to visit
them in Etretat. AS his hosts were
waiting for him at the hotel, one of
them, who was very intimate with the
composer, suggested:
"Let us give him rousing wei
come"
The idea was taken up and devel-
oped. One Of the party possessed a
collection Of old weapons. This was
ransacked, and some two dozen young
fellows were soon equipped as halberd-
iers. Another mounted donkey and
waved the flag Of the club.
When Offenbach's carriage came
in sight, drum beat, the halberdiers
presented arms and fireworks were
set off from the balcony at o'clock
in the afternoon.
AS the composer stepped to the
ground a venerable old man approach
ed and presented to him the key Of the
hotel on a silver platter.
Offenbach, vain as peacock and
accustomed to all sorts Of queer re-
ceptions, entirely failed to see the joke,
though it was as broad as anything
in '"The Grand Duchess" or ''La Belle
Helene" He took it all seriously as
a tribute to his genius, and, with tears
in his eyes and in voice that shook
with emotion, he murmured:
Gentlemen, this is too much, too

made surprise visit little boy hap
pened to come in for the first time and
stepped up to the inspector at once.
"Sit there for the present" said the
inspector, indicating the desired spot.
The boy obeyed readily, and when
the inspector had finished his multitu-
dinous Inquiries into the knowledge Of
geography, grammar and arithmetic
possessed by the children he found that
the boy still sat in the same spot.

Our present genial and efficient
county superintendent Philip Rowe
can probably appreciate the position
of the man who prayed that provid-
ence save him from his friends for
he could take care of his enemies
himself. The editor of the Sun v5ry
short-sightedly remarked that Supt.
Rowe proposed to compel children
enrolled in the public achools to at
tend the forty days necessary to
secure state aid, and now our
Democratic Times very naiyely asks
why he don't compel them to attend
the whole school year, and takes a
half column to answer the question.
Of course the gist of Supt. Rowe's
plans are to get as many children as
possible to attend school as is
shown by the excellent results which
he obtained in mis- own school in Don
nelly during the past two years.

u. L. Moody was always full Of fun
He saw the comic side Of things, and
as boy enjoyed putting practical
jokes upon any one whom he well
knew. In the rear Of his Uncle Sam.
ueps retail shoe store in Boston was
q cobbler's repair kit-seat, tools, avis
etc., and the seat was as usual, a piece
Of leather concavely shaped downward
at its center.
One day the workman on this saucer
shaped seat felt it becoming uncom-
fortably damp, then really moist. He
rose and saw a damp spot on the seat.
Surprising that a few drops of water
had been accidentally dropped upon the
seat before he sat down to his work,
he folded an old newspaper and placed
1t and sat comfortably down to resume
his work. But the moisture seemed
strangely persistent. Rising again, he
found the paper becoming soaked with
water, and he stood perplexed, his
hammer in one hand and the soft, wet
paper in the other.
Looking this way and that in his
perplexity, he soon heard half chuc-
kle, half smoker, which could no longer
be repressed, and there behind the
door was the country boy, learning
how to be useful in a city shoe store
as he really and rapidly did, but TAX
ing his fun as he went along. He had
placed a shallow dish of water close
up to the underside of the center Of
the leather seat, which only touched
the water when the weight Of the oc
cupant was upon it, SO three or four
small awl holes served his purpose for
that neutrality-suspicious..
