How'd the ponies at Nashville run to-
day?' asked st. Louis barber as he pro-
ceeded to trim q. customers hair, says the
st. Louis Republic.
The man in the chair replied in a low
tone. The BARRIERS happy face immediate
iy told that the information was good
news. Then he remarked:
well, then, am $50 to the good on that
little tip. 1 will have to so around early
in the morning and cash in
Now, one touch of the. ponies" makes
the whole world kin, and so the row of
"nexts" began proposing schemes for the
spending of the $50. One man limited that
a hair cut free Of charge 10 every person
in the shop would be an agreeable way of
celebrating the event. Another suggested
something about the Zine" But to all
the free advice the barber turned a deaf
ear, remarking that he had a better way
to spend The money. Then he explained:
Now. all you fellows know that ! am a
hend on the subject of races" he said.
There was one summer that | had such
good luck that l threw up my JOB. / was
getting SIS a week then, and had been
making so much on the side through tips
OF my customers that decided work was
not in my line.
During that summer my rabbits foot
stayed with me, and at the end of the sea-
son here in st. Louis / was about 81 600

that way. 1t happened to me when

though there is no denying the fact that
she made some pointed and foreible re-
marks
When l acknowledged that couldn't
keep from playing the races, my wife said
she would consent on one condition. The
household expenses were to be paid first.
After that l could bet to my hearts con-
tent provided that every cent won went
into the bank to her name on time GER
tificate drawing interest.
Maybe you won't believe me- but in one
year l have saved over $500, and every
cent of it is in the bank drawing per
cent. OF coure. have fair luck. My Gus
toners help me out a good deal. By the
end of summer 1 expect 20 have about
sl,500, and then my wife and l are going
to buy house and lot somewhere in the
West End"
But suppose you loser
my wife isn't in on the losses. They
come out of my spending money. 1 think
that / have the best system on earth.
Just knowing that l can pick the horses

MCKINLEY AND THE TARIFF.

There is a prevailing impression that
the President is no longer the high pro-
tectionist he once was. In fact, on sew
eral occasions recently, he has animated
as much. Mr.. Hanna, however, will not
admit that the Presidents views on the
tariff have undergone a change since the
time he was chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee and brought himself
into notice by advocating a high protec-
tive tariff. But it may be that MIR. Hanna
has his reasons for not wanting it to APP
pear that the Presidents tariff views
have undergone change. He is looking
out for the next national campaign.
Mr. Hanna says that what the Presi-
dent means by saying that his tariff views
have undergone a great change within
the last few years is that trade conces-
sions must be made in certain directions
to gain access to new markets for our
surplus of manufactured goods. II the
President is so favorably impressed with
the policy of making trade concessions,
how is it that he did not give more en-
enlargement to the making of reciprocity
treaties? 1t will be recalled that there
were half a dozen or more reciprocity
treaties pending in the Senate when the
last Congress came to an end. AS far as
the public knows the President did moth
ing to encourage the ratification of these
treaties Although they had cost a great
deal to negotiate them no effort was
made by the administration to have them
ratified. That certainly. does not look as
If the President was favoring trade con-
cession in order to advance our CONNER
cial interests in countries in which we
have not a firm commercial foothold.
What the President had in mind, in all
probability, when he declared that his
views on the tariff had undergone great
change in recent years, was that some
thing would have to be done to prevent
the trusts from charging higher prices in
the domestic market for their products
than in foreign markets. He sees that if
the trusts are permitted to get rich out
of home people while comforting their fa-
vors on the people Of other countries the
people viii want to know the reason why.
If a satisfactory answer is not given
them the party responsible for the high
tariff will likely be driven from power.
While therefore the Presidents views on
the tariff may not have undergone any
radical change he may be in favor of
a lower tariff in certain cases in order
to save his party from losing its hold
on the people.

THE wooDBURY-EDDY CASE.

There is doubtless great rejoicing in
the camp of the Christian Scientists over
the failure of Mrs. Woodbury. to make
cut a case against Mrs. Eddy. the founder
Of Christian Science. The case did not
reach the jury. The court held that the
plaintiff. although showing that the pub
lished matter complained of was libelous
if 1t referred to any particular person.
had failed to prove that the alleged libel
Gus matter referred to her
The fact that the case came TO an end
without a thorough inquiry into the merits
of Christian Science was a great disap-
pointment to the public. 1t was ex-
pected and hoped by the enemies of Chris
tan Science that it would be made to
appear that there was no solid founda-
ton for that cult and that those who be-
lieve implicitly in Mrs. Eddy are de-
ceived. Nothing would have given the
attorneys for Mrs. Woodbury. so much
satisfaction as to have had Mrs. Eddy
on the witness stand. They would have
liked to cross-question her on the tenets
Of the religion which she teaches. On
dAS PtN9 VI IA hOdllAs nOWtNGts size was
permitted to have her testimony taken at
her home before the trial began.
A witness that caused mild sensation
was William G. Nixon, who, at one time,
was an ardent. Christian Scientist and
Mrs. Eddy's publisher. He does not
believe in the cult now. and is disposed
to talk slghtingly of 1t. He claims to
have withdrawn from the Christian Sci
ence Church and from the position OF
publisher of Mrs. Eddy's writings because
he came TO the conclusion that she was
misleading the people. He was so con-
scientious that he could not continue to
publish her writings, Notwithstanding the
fact that he was prospecting. He says
that Mrs. Eddy must be worth 5000, 900,
the same being the proceeds OF her writ
ings and OF her lessons to students of
the religion she founded.
IT is stated in the dispatches that it is
the purpose of the attorneys for Mrs.
Woodbury. to carry the case to the higher
courts. but it would not be surprising
il they should come to the conclusion
that there was nothing to be gained by
pursuing such a course. The probabilities
are that the last has been heard of the
famous libel case. There does not seem
to be much room for doubt, however. that
some Christian Scientists who heard the
letter Mrs Woodbury. complained of
read in the Christian Science Church be-
lieved that Mrs. Woodbury. was referred

generally admitted that Mrs. Eddy is q

why some Men Keep Dogs.

1t is not always the breed of a dog that
makes him valuable to his owner, says
the Washington Post. John Finlayson,
who has just opened his new place in
New York, tells a story in his own fam
Gus way of going one night with another
man to a resort in Third avenue known
as Pigs Knuckles." Seated in a re-
mote corner was a fat old German smok-
ing pipe with a stein before him. IN
der his chair was the most remarkable
specimen of a dog that John or his
friends ever had seen. 1t had the an
pearance of a pug, with rough. red hair
and long tail. 1t was impossible to re-
sist laughing at the placid old man and
his nondescript dog. John was prevail
ed upon by his friend to question the
Old man about his faithful follower.
What kind of a dog is that?' said
John.
81 don't know" was the reply.
81 suppose you use him for hunting?'
mo"
us he good for anything?"
No"
Then why do you value him sop
Because he likes me- said the old
man, still putting his pipe, and the ex-
preston of the dog as he looked up from
under the chair fully confirmed the state
nent.
Many man keeps a dog for no other
reason.

TIE cARPErBAGGER IN EVIDENCE.

| If this government wants peace in the
! Philippines it will discourage carpet
Dagger there. 1t will fill the Offices in the
civil government that is being established
by the Taft Commission with natives. to
as great an extent as possible.
There are capable native men in the
isands-men of education. and admins
trative and executive ability. If the places
are given TO carpetbaggers there will be
abuses of all sorts and the natives be-
lieving that the offices of honor and profit
should be given to their own people, will
be dissatisfied. They will be not only dis
satisfied, but they will manifest their dis
satisfaction by maintaining a hostile at
titude towards the United States.
OF course there will be an immense
pressure brought to bear on the admin
istration for appointments in the Philip
pine government. Politicians will want all
Of the best places for their relatives or
political heelers. If the President is able
to resist them, and has the courage to
select the very best of the natives for the

fees with carpetbaggers-the class of
men who got the offices in the Southern
states in the days of Reconstruction-it
will take an army of $1,000 or more men
to keep the natives from revolving.
In Hawaii, at this very time, there is
high excitement over the action of the
government in filling the offices with car
petbaggers-men who have no stake in
the islands, but who had sufficient infu-
ence in Washington to get good offices
there The trouble is mainly between the
newcomers and those who upset the law
full government of the natives and turned
the islands over to the United States.
This latter class expected to hold the Of
fees for the remainder of their lives, and
because their claims have been ignored
70 a very great extent they are greatly
dissatisfied ana are trying to make the
position of the newly-arrived carpetbag-
gers as uncomfortable as possible. OF
course the natives ought to have the Of
fices-that is if there are those who are
capable of filing them-but there is little
prospect Of their being remembered The
President has too many hungry applicants
on his list of officeseekers who must be
taken care of in order to hold the grand
old party together for native Hawaiians
to be remembered
Hawaii, however, is not likely to give
the government much trouble. 1t is too
Insignificant. But there is opportunity for
trouble In the Philippines, and there will
be trouble if carpetbaggers are sent
there to fill all of the best offices and to
prey upon the people The President has a
chance 10 show the qualities of a states
man in dealing with the islands Will he
improve it or will he undertake to
strengthen his party by putting the heel
ers and followers of its leaders in the
offices which are being created In the
islands?

MERE RACING MACHINES.

The challenger and the defender in the
Americas Cup contest are mere racing
machines. There is no question about that
wrecked were not severe ones. They were
such breezes as they are likely to en-
counter in the contest for the cup. Indeed,
it is not improbable that they may en-
counter much stronger breezes. Therefore
If the new masts with which they are
to be fitted are not great deal stronger
than those with which they were orig
inally equipped there is likely to be an
accident at the races that will prevent a
contest that will be satisfying.
The question which presents itself is
this: To what further extent can the de-
signers of racing machines of this kind
tighten the hull and increase the area Of
the canvass? 1t looks as If the limit had
been reached, If not passed, already. I'M
less it can be shown that the mast of the
Constitution and also that of Shamrock
II were defective. If they were as strong
as Ii is possible to make them without
increasing their weight the limit of light
reached. 1t will be said probably that
the mast In each case was defective, yet
no proof of that has yet been presented.
The inference is that a mast of the
strength of those of the cup contestants
is not capable of sustaining the strain
of carrying such large canvasses in a
stiff breeze.
If the limit of lightness In proportion
to the amount Of canvass carried has
been reached, in what way is additional
speed to be gained? 1t is apparent that
the danger point has been reached. The
boats built this year may be little fas-
ter than those which took part in the
last contest, though that has not yet been
determined, but. IL so, It seems to be
evident that it will not be possible to
build boats that will be faster than those
of this year. unless some other method
Of acquiring speed than making the boats
lighter and the spread of canvass greater
is discovered. That being the case. is it
not likely to be good many years before
a British boat will capture the cup. II
the cup is not captured this year?

In most parts OF the country industry,
seR-respect and self-reliance in young
boys thrown upon their own resources are
virtues that are highly appreciated. In
New York. however, 1t is different. A lit
tie chap Of fifteen years was some days
ago discovered 10 be earning not only his
own living. but providing for his two
smaller sisters. His income. derived from
his own efforts, amounted to about IS
week. with which he paid the rent and
bought the food. He did the cooking ana
washing himself, and sent the little girls
TO school. When it was discovered that
he was doing these things, in an honest,
courageous and straight forward man
ner. what should the authorities do but
arrest the little chap and his sisters, and
carry them to a police court. The little
girls were given into the care OF So
ciety, and the boy was held by the mag
istrate for several days-for the heinous
offense of working for the support Of
himself and his sisters. And finally the
magistrate declined TO let any Of the men
who wanted TO employ the boy have HIM.
but sent him on 20 the care OF a eharits-
BILE institution. They either have stupid
