might not seem odd to know that big

when a commercial traveller goes out

The drummer scarcely can carry glass
eyes representing all kinds. because no
doubt his home house has a sample

This. OF course. Is because the eyes
OF no two human beings are exactly
alike. and this is sometimes the case
with the eyes OF one person. So the
drummer can give only u hint OF the
great variety the trade affords. The
finest quality OF glass eyes come from
France and German. principally the
latter country. America has learned
everything In the art except how TO
glaze properly. We get the shape and

pistol, and demanded his purse.

he WANTS A FORTUNE
And Puts Up Claim That Looks Like q
Pretty Good One


st. Paul, Minn., June ia case in
yolving more than million and a half
or dollars was placed on trial yester-
day before Judge Kelley and jury in
the district court. Herbert w. Pear
son, the plaintiff, is a geologist en-
ployed by the Great Northern road to
locate coal fields for the company In
Montana and Washington. In his COM
plaint Pearson says he was employed
with the understanding that his COM
pensation was to be dependent upon
The results obtained. He was allowed
$500 month for expenses. and was
TO be paid fair percentage of the
value of his discoveries.
In Montana he located a coal field
said to contain forty-two square miles,
and in addition found another in Wash
lngton eighteen square miles i'm extent.
The railroad company then bought up
the greater part of the land on which
the claim was located and secured op-
tions on the remainder.
Pearson values the tracts already
held by the road at STATS. 800. and
says the Montana tract alone will cas-
lily produce 69,115, 400 tons of the
black fuel. He says he was employed
nine months. but was paid only $1,000,
leaving a balance due on his expenses
account of $500. His services during
that time he estimates to have been
worth 81, 900, and consequently
sues for that sum.

Hits Another Blow in the Aztec.
tionate Tariff War Now Co
ing on Between. Us.
PUTS A HIGH TAX ON OUR COAL OIL
Because We Have Put Duty on His.
None of Which Comes Here-We
Say He Struck First.

Washington, June ia new de-
velompent of the Russo United States
tariff war, which isn't a tariff war
because it is so friendly, is the imposi-
tion by the Russian government, as Of
ticially notified to this government, Of
the highest Russian duty on United
States white resin or calafin, galapot,
white resin under article 80 of the Rus
sian tariff law, and increasing the rate
on American bicycles under article 173
of the Russian laws. This has moth
ing TO do with the sugar business, ex-
cept that both are in accordance with
the Russian policy. which is to hit the
man who hits you and on March 8 last
we put tariff restrictions on Russian
petroleum. The Russian order goes
into effect Friday, June 21.
Why Our Duty Was Imposed.
At the treasury department it is
stated that the imposition of duty on
petroleum was not matter within the
discretion Of the secretary of the treas
ury, but was made mandatory by the
Dingley tariff act which directs the
secretary, in case any foreign country
--pocCS q Uuls Ou pcli
from the United States, TO levy a like
duty on petroleum imported from that
country. AS Russia collects a duty ON
petroleum imported from the United
States. this government, in compli-
ance with law, imposes a duty on Rus
sian petroleum. In no sense, it is
stated. can this duty be regarded as
an unjust discrimination against Rus
rrln %ha%
the initiative against the American ar
ticle. Had Russia not taken this step
her petroleum would have been admit
ted to this country free of duty, under
the terms of the tariff act.
OLr State Secretary Protests.
In his reply to Count Cassinfs note,
which was transmitted to the treas
ury department, Secretary Gage pro-
tests against the implied contention
that this governments action was a
discrimination against Russia, and
adds: Il beg leave to submit FOR your
consideration the question whether the
measure now sdopted by the imperial
government is not Incompatible with
the rights of the United States under
the existing treaty of commerce and
navigation with Russia" According
to the Russian view the duty laid
against Russian petroleum is inexplic-
able from the fact that no Russian pc
tr0leum comes to this country.
Hits a Large Trade Heavily.
1t Is said that the United States
trade in bicycles and the resins speci-
fled are quite large in Russia, so that
he increased duties will bear heavily
upon these branches of United States
trade. As a result representations are
being made in behalf of these manu-
facturers to induce the state depart
ment to intercede with Russia for an
abatement of the high rates.

Witness Not Permitted by the Court to Fell
That sort of story.
New York, June 19.-The second
day Of the trial at Jersey City Of
Thomas G. Barker for the shooting of
the Rev. John Keller at Arlington was
full Of objections by counsel and clear
cut, cold and sharp rulings by the pre-
siding judge. Both principals went on
the stand during the day. Barker
wanted to get in the story Of what his
wife told him-about Keller's alleged
assault-but every attempt to testify
that way was defeated by objections
that good lawyers here say will stand
The prosecution tried to introduce
the eye taken from Keller's head. It
was presented in a bottle Of alcohol,
but was barred out as gruesome and
having no bearing on the case. DR..
Strasser, one of the doctors who at
tended Mr.. Keller, told of the wounds
and gave expert testimony that Mr.
Keller was shot from behind.
