TAKING IT LlTERALLX.

! heard dear Granny say to-day,
What sounded very queer:
We must not try to put old heads
Upon young shoulders, dear!"
It was to Mother that she spoke
In such funny way,
And Mother only sighed and smiled.
And bade me run and play!
But when came to think Of 1t,
thought how very strange
We children all Of US would look
II We could make that change.
Suppose I had dear Granny's head,
Her cap and soft white hair,
Upon my shoulders fixed-my word,
How all the folks would stare!
almost think 'twould even be
Yet stin more queerly mixed,
If Granny had my curly pate
Upon her shoulders fixed!
How funny both of us would look!
We shouldn't like it, though;
And so I'm glad they can't attempt
To make the change. you know!

PrintinE Without InIk.

A company has been formed to control the
process of printing without ink, and in a
short time it is expected that old methods
will be revolutionized. There is one thing,
however, that has resisted all innovations;
that is, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It is
gestion, biliousness, insomnia, constipation
and nervousness. It also prevents malaria,
fever and ague. Try it, and you will not be

GOVERNOR ALLEN GIVING THIS MATTER
MUCH ATTENTION.
THE H0LLENDER REVENUE ACT
When In Full Force will Provide SUM-
lien Revenue for the Insuiar Cow
ernment. Without any Customs
Dues-The Governor Considering the
Question OF an Extra Session of the
Provided by the Foraker Act.

Correspondence OF Associated PresS.)
a Juan, P. r., Wednesday. June 5.
Since Governor Allen has returned
here he has given the free trade prob
lem earnest consideration. Treasures
Hollander has presented him with a re-
port showing in detail the workings OF
his new revenue act. He shows that
when the law shall have gone into full
force July LIST, the island revenues will
be sufficient for the islands mainte-
nance without the customs duties on
trade between Porto Rico and the Unit
ed States.
The governor shows some h~esitancy
in acting, as he is yet undecided when
1t would be proper to call the legisla-
ture in extraordinary session for the
purpose OF declaring that the island has
IN operation an adequate system for
collecting revenues, as it has the power
to do under The Foraker organic act.
Were it known now that free trade
would be declared on a given date, the
island sugar still unshipped would be
cornered by SPECTATORS TO the detri-
ment of the planters. This Governor
Allen wishes to avoid.
1t is safe TO say that the legislature
will be called to meet in extra session
as soon in July as practicable. July
18th has been suggested. BY recent act
of the Legislature that date, which will
be h third anniversary of the landing
of the troops, n also Santiago day,
the feast Of patron saint of Spain has
been made a legal holiday.

The continued improvement in Mrs.

intense anxiety that has existed there

by no means out of danger and there is
constant fear of relapse, for the pres

president is more cheerful. He saw a
few callers today n to his visitors ex-
pressed his encouragement. While
Mrs. McKinley's condition fluctuates,
he said, she appeared brighter this
morning than she had for some days.
DR.. RiXey, when he left the White
house at 1905 o'clock tonight, said:
"Everything is encouraging. Mrs.
Mckinley is doing very nicely. She is
gaining steadily. She sat up in a rolling
chair several times today, a~ggregating
probably an hour. We are very much
encouraged by the steady improve
ment."

leaving said Mrs. Mckinley continued

slightly more expensive to maintain
them than other locomotives doing the
same work. They are purchased be-

For this reason the company oes not

me- t Il not encouraging, and the COM

question and is prepared to make furth-
