The best evidence of Senator Vests re-

telling stories, says the Washington Post.
Yesterday, in the cloakroom, one of Mr..
Vests colleagues gave an exhibition of
absent mndedness, which recalled to the
Missouri Senator an incident which hap
peued in his state.
Il was at a mass-meeting once upon
time" said Mr.. Vest, when we discussed
a resolution of some kind or other for
several hours. Finally one of the dele
gates began a speech which wandered all
over creation. Some ofe interrupted him
with the remark thatee ought to cont1ne
his remarks to the resolution.

presiding, the gentleman must speak to
the resolution
Let us have the resolution read suS-

Judge Philips stopped down and whis-

up. What resolution
The one we have been discussing for

The death of Queen Victoria recalls to
the Philadelphia Record the claim of the
late Richard Vaux, once Mayor of Phil

who ever danced with her. 1T was short

says the Record, when young Vaux, who
had just been made barrister, was sent
TO London on a governmental mission 10
United States Minister Stevenson. Upon
his arrival there he learned that he had
been appointed Secretary of the United
States Legation at London. Naux was

he saw much of court life and participated
In many royal functions where the light

VauX used to relate how, at one of the
royal balls, he danced with the Queen

rifle. The Queens original partner in the
dance was one of royalty, of course, but

WHY DISCRIMINATE.

The war revenue reduction bill has been
reported by the Senate Finance commit
tee back to the Senate. Judging from
the telegraph report Of the changes which
the committee has made in it there will
be very determined opposition to it by
many of the interests affected. AS
passed by the House the bill appeared to
be fairly satisfactory-that is. as salts
factory as could be expected Some of
the changes which the Finance Commit
tee has made seem to be SO flagrantly
unjust that it would not be surprising if
the fight against the bill became so de-
termined that il would be impossible for
this Congress to pass any revenue re-
duction bill.
For instance the tax on proprietary and
patent medicines is retained-that is on
those which are manufactured in accord
ance with secret prescriptions. But 1t
is removed from those which are known
as non secrets-that is, those which pub
fish their recipes. The House removed
the tax from all kinds of proprietary
medicines.
but why SilOulu Tue L lldilNC COilliiiiltSt
discriminate against proprietary medi-
cines which keep their recipes secret :?
Would not such Legislation encourage pi-
racy and substitution?
It is doubtful if the Finance Commit
tee is able TO give a satisfactory reason
for retaining the tax on a proprietary
medicine of unknown ingredients while
removing it from another whose ingredi-
ents are known. Evidently the commit
tee has been misled in this matter. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that the proprietor
of n really valuable medicine would not
make its ingredients known. To do so
would lessen his ability to make 1t profit
able. 1t looks very much as If the aim
OF the committee is TO force the owners
of proprietary medicines TO disclose the
secret of their preparations, and thus
make the secret common property. That
would be unjust. 1t is claimed. and with
much show OF reason, that the most of
the really valuable proprietary medicines
are those whose ingredients are known
only 60 the manufactures II the Senate
desires to do what is just 1t will make no
discrimination in dealing with medicines
of this character.

W. ]. Chalmers, who has had long ex-
perience in mining matters. tells many
stories of "salted" mines in this week s
issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
In one case in Mexico experts had gath
cred their samples and were sure of the
results; then they took them up to the
mill to have the samples ground, exer-
cising constant watchfulness. This is
how the sailing occurred:
THE fact that the Mexicans who work
ed the hammer were industriously smok-
ing native cigarettes as they swayed back
and forth above the plate upon which
the samples were being crushed into pow
der did not attract the attention of the
experts, who naturally expected the pro
ceeding as the usual thing. OF course
the ashes fell into the grist which ac-
cumulated on the bucking- board, bat this
was deemed of no consequence. Although
the Mexicans seemed to take the wo
in a decidedly leisurely way, this was
charged to the native temperament. Had
the grinders worked half as industriously
as they smoked their task would have
been finished in half the time that 1t

THE HOWE OF SENSATIONS.

Kansas is the home of sensations and
of women of notoriety. 1t has not been
so very long since Mrs. Lease of Wichita
aroused the country by her eloquence,
and now Mrs. Nation of the same town
is figuring in all the newspapers of the
country Mrs. Nation is a saloon smash
or. She has taken the job of Kidding
Kansas of dram shops. She wrecked sew
eral saloons before she met with much
resistance The saloon men seemed to be
afraid Of her At Wichita she said: Men
of Wichita, this is the right arm of God
and l am destined to wreck every saloon
in the city" The saloon men appeared to
think that she was clothed with some sort
of power beyond them, and so they were
careful not to forcbly interfere with her
while she was using her Ratchet in
smashing bottles, plate glass windows
and krBcking in the heads of beer kegs
and whisky barrels.
She went to Enterprise and began her
wrecking work there but she seems to
have met with an obstruction. A woman
named Schiling, whose husbands saloon
had been wrecked, collected a half dozen
of her female friends about her and gave
battle to Mrs. Nation and her saloon
wrecking brigade. According 90 the news
paper accounts there was a fierce fight
between Mrs. Nation and Mrs SETTLING,
the others standing aside until the chiefs
fought their battle to a finish. There
were hard blows struck. Fists landed
upon mouth and nose, and finally Mrs
Nation was knocked out" That ended
the war. All of the participants were TAX
en- TO the police court where the story of
the affair was told.
The presumption is that the saloon men,
not wanting to fight with a woman, and
the officers of the law not giving them
any protection, arranged it that Mrs
Schillng should take up their cause and
meet -drs. Nation in battle. If that is the
real explanation of the matter the saloon
men must be credited with possessing
considerable strategy. Mrs. Nation will
hardly continue in the saloon wrecking
business If she is assured that Mrs. Schil-
ling is on guard. She will not want 90
come in contact with the latters fists

Cheese it, is in an English slang die

century. The ingenious Mr.. George Au-
gustus Sala in his "Gaslight and Day

ers at Dumbledowndeary" about young
Harry, who held earnest parley with
members of the upper gallery who were
pelting him and his friends with nut
shells and broken pipes. Two or three

by a strong recommendation to cheese
IT. d. e., act of cessation), cause these
trifiing annoyances to cease" You see
that Mr.. Sala thought 1t necessary to
explain the phrase to his genteel audience.
The dictionaries all say that cheese it
is thought to be a corruption of cease

clined to believe in more remote deriva-
ton. Cease it!' is too easy.
