Good Authority.

German commentators are said to
find in Shakespeare's plays many
things which the author never
dreamed Of putting there. And if
German Scholars may do this, why
not an English schoolboy?
The late Major Barttelot was edu-
Gated at Rugby, and is still remem-
bered there as the hero OF a funny
blunder. ,~ssa.~r,,,
"What is the meaning Of the word
Eadage . asked the master.
Various wild guesses were hazard
ed by different members of the class,
and then it came young Barttelot's
turn. Without hesitation he re-
piled:
ga place to put cats into"
Every one laughed, and the mas
ter, who was as much mystifed as
his pupils by the strange answer,
called the boy up at the end of the
lesson and asked what had put such
an idea into his head.
''Why, sir" said Barttelot,
doesn't it say in Shakespeare, Like
the poor cat in the adage?"

HENRY's LITTLE SCHEME.
IL Worked Like a Charm, and His
Wife Was Real Sorry.


Wife Was Real Sorry.
'Maria," he said as he entered the
house, speaking before his wife had
time to say word, "this house is in
an awful condition"
"Whg Henry she began.
Don't try to excuse yourself" he
interrupted. "Look at this room!
I was going to bring a friend home
with me, but I refrained for fear
that the house would be just in the
condition that I find it in"
eff you had sent word, Henry"
''Sent word, Maria! Why should
/ have to send word? Why should
any one who claims to be a house
keeper have to be notified SO that
she can scurry about and make
things look respectable? And that
gown, Maria! It's outrageous4to be
dressed in that fashion at this time
Of day."
sT could have changed IT,
ooh, of course. You could have
done lots of things, but you didn't.
You should be ready to entertain
your husbands friends at any time
I suppose the dinner is cold too"
"1t's not 80 good as it was,
You're late, you know"
"Of course, and if l had brought
my friend with me he'd, have had tx
sit down to cold dinner OF oneIthat
was burned to cinder, and we
should have both felt Inundated
and should have had to apologize.
It isn't right, Maria. It isn't right
at ALL"
"Really, Henry, I am sorry that
you are so much annoyed"
swell, I wish You would try to do
little better. It's annoying, very
annoying"
And when he had settled himself
in his armchair after dinner he
chuckled to himself and muttered:
George, but I should have got a
roasting for being late if I hadn't
started in first! It's a great
scheme Tit-Bits.

SAMUEL HILL RETURNS.
Great Northern ohIelaI Makes a Trip
Around the World.


Seattle, Wash, July 19.-Samuel
Hill, third vice president Of the Great
Northern, has arrived here from the
Orient after completing trip entire
ly around the world. He straveled
from Moscow, Russia, across the
Transsiberian railroad to Vladivostock
and later visited Nagasaki, Yokohama
and other Oriental ports. He declared
that he found the products of Wash
ington, Oregon; California and Alaska
1900 miles in the interior Of Siberia.
American trade relations, he asserts,
have been seriously crippled with Rus
STA, owing to the action Of the AmeFi-
can government, although, he added,
that the general disposition of Rus
SLAMS is to welcome American prod
ucts. The primary object of the jour
ney was the creation of trade connec-
tons in the Orient by which the Great
Northern might become the bene-
f1ciary, this being one of the favorite
enterprises of the railway in question
through it's Japanese steamship con-
nections. Mr.. Hill asserts that there
is an ever-groWing and thriving trade
between the Pacific coast and the
Orient, which has received check
owing to the action of our government
with Russia, but which is replete with
incalculable opportunities if properly
taken advantage of.
Mr. Hill was accompanied to Seattle
by Robert Lebaudy Of Paris, CASTOR
stiegler of lie Matin, Paris, and Gen
eral Won Ketteler of the German army.

NO BOUNTY PAID.
ITALYs FIRM PROTEST AGAINST
A DETRIMENTAL DUTY ON
ITALIAN SUGAR. ss,,
TWO POINTS EMPHASIZED

Export Law Now In Effect Does Not
Give Any Rebate TO Producers, and,
Moreover, No Sugar Is Exported
From Italy at 2resent-SamueI Hill
/ Of the Great Northern Discusses
Trade With the Orient.
Washington, July 19.-Secretary
Gage now has before him lengthy
communication from the Italian gov
eminent forwarded to him by the state
department. relative to his order plac-
ing differential duty on Italian sugar
because of information received that
Italy paid a bounty in her sugar ex-
ports. Mr.. Cages order was issued
about month ago and soon thereafter
"a brief declaration was made by the
Italian authorities to the state depart
ment that Italy paid no export duty on
sugar. This declaration has new been
supplemented by full presentation
of the Italian position on the subject.
The communication was received
from Rome few days ago. It is tenn
perate in tone, but presents quite pos
itively the Italian view of the law now
in force. 1t is not so much an argu-
ment as a reference to the laws, in or
der to show that nothing analogous
TO a bounty is paid. Emphasis is laid
upon two points, first, that Italy does
not, in fact, pay any bounty and does
not, up to the present time, export any
sugar; second, that if the production
ofsItalian sugar reaches point where
exports can be made, the law does not
give any rebate to the producers in
case they export their goods.
Mr.. Cages answer will be made
through the state department and
probably will be ready to communicate
to the Italian government within the
next few days. It will disclose the
causes leading to the order imposing
differentials, as the order itself ex-
pressed some doubt and stated that
pending further investigation the
higher rates would be imposed.

must be done quietly and without max
ing a scene Of any kind. He took his
revolver from his hip pocket and put It
in the side pocket of his coat. Then he
walked as quietly as possible up the
aisle.
Just as he reached them Mrs. Larsen
looked up. Littlepage recognized an
appealing look in her eyes.
ooh, Mr.. Littlepagew she cried in an
excited tone. All Littlepage's hot south
ern blood was on IRE in a moment. He
drew out his revolver and put the end
of it under the fat mans nose.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Larsen" he said
at the same moment. cpl take care OF

Mrs. Larsen glanced at the revolver
and promptly tainted away. The fat
man turned CHASTITY gray shade and
attempted to demonstrate.

Littlepage in a low voice. "Come right
along with me. If you open your
mouth, Eli blow your head of"
In perfect silence and without at
tracing the attention of anybody in
the almost empty car Littlepage led
his captive to the vestibule at the
nearest end of the ear. There, still
keeping silence, he opened the door
leading to the steps and pushed the fat
man down on the lowest step.
'Now jump" said Littlepage.
1t happened that the train was slow
ing up for a crossing, and the fat man
had comparatively little difficulty in
getting off, He landed on his feet,
rolled over once or twice and finally
got up again before the train got out
Of sight.
Then Littlepage went back to the
aid of beauty in distress. She was
still lying back in a dead faint. With
the assistance of the conductor the
distracted Littlepage finally succeeded
in bringing her back to her senses.
She looked up at LittIepage and shud-
dered.

when he first came into the car, and
that was why he looked at me so
closely. When he came back from the

not be mistaken. So he stopped and
asked if was not Angie Matthews.
