Entitled to Como Rcllef.

The American people feel that they
are being heavily taxed, through the
tariff, for the benefit OF the steel trust
and similar combinations, and in their
opinion they are not only entitled to
be exempt from any increase in prices,
but should reap the benefit Of any and
all reductions which may be made for
the foreign trade.

The most remarkable thing about the

Mystcry to tho Taxpayer.

1t is hard for the American tax
payer to understand why salaries paid
by the government should be increased
in order to maintain the extravaganza
incident to social life in Washington.
Why should judge or Congressman
or a cabinet officer be a heavy swell
and do swell things all the time?

sPARROWS FOND OF PEANUTS.
The Busy Little Creatures Hover
Around Vendors Stands Watch
ing for Stray Kernels.

Dickens has said that the English
sparrow is ALWAYS in bad company"
In America the bird has preserved
this reputation to great extent, but
at the same time he has demonstrated
that he is as adaptable to circum-
stances and conditions as ever man
has been, says the Chicago Tribune.
One of the most noticeable of the
sparrow's adaptations to Chicago life
is to be seen in the way the birds haunt
the vicinity of the peanut vending ma
chimes in some of the less frequented
streets. In these machines, always,
are some broken peanut kernels, the
pieces of which are most frequently
left in the tray and brushed out on
the walk by the next customer. One
of these boxes in particular is on the
west side of Canal street, between
Washington and Madison streets.
Here, frequently, passer-by will be
hccosted in sparrow language as he
comes up, the bird cooking it's head
from side to side inquiringly, inviting
the pedestrian to 'buy."
These birds all over Chicago have
marked the peanut machine, but it
probably will be some time before
they learn to tell when one of them
is empty or the pedestrian is ''broke."

LETTERS TO THE KING.
So Many Are Written That the Lon
don Post Office Provides Special
Sacks for Them.

Correspondence addressed to the
king or Buckingham palace in con-
nection with the coronation has be-
come so enormous that Sir Francis
Knollys, the kings private secretary,
has been obliged to turn on an adj
ditional staff of clerks to deal with
it. There is a special room at Buck
ingham palace set apart for the
work and the post office carries the
correspondence about in bags spe-
cially supplied for the purpose, with
the words Coronation Correspond
ence'' printed upon them, says Lon
don exchange.
The nature of the correspondence
is highly diversified. Peeresses by
the score are sending for copies OF
the regulations, others want the
route of the procession entirely
changed in order to turn an honest
penny by letting their windows, and
in this connection presents in money
and kind to charities favored by the
king are promised if he can be inf1u-
enced to alter his mind. Those who
specialized in windows and fats a
few weeks ago on the strength OF
fictitious reports about the route OF
the procession are writing letters
that would suggest suicidal tenden-
cies. A number of authors and
minor poets are anxious to dedicate
their works to the king, and OF
course they must write for permits
sion. Patriotic parents are asking II
they may name their next baby Ed
ward or Alexandra, as the occasion
requires. But these are nothing COM
pared with the number of distin-
guished persons who are writing to
the king for personal interviews so
that they may put before him more
forcibly their claim for seats in
Westminster Abbey. Cuttings from
Debrett, Burke and other works on
the peerage are inclosed to show the
direct lineage Of the correspondents
and their claim to his majesty's rec
ognition.

Never Another skate.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, is clean
shaver and bald-headed. Once, when a
young man, he wore long, flowing side
whiskers. When the roller-skating
craze of Is or 20 years ago struck
Georgia Bacon was the crack skater
of his town. One night he was out on
the floor of the rink making fancy
figures, when two amateurs, hand in
hand, bore down on him. He tried to
get out of the way, but couldn't.
The two skaters bumped into the
embryo senator. One caught hold of
his whiskers on one side and the other
took a grip on the other side. Yelling
with pain, Bacon tried to shake them
off, but they chung until all three went
to the floor together.
Bacon got up, took off his skates.

Tt is popularity supposed that any
stranger who may by chance elude
the vigilance of the London stock
exchange doorkeepers is bonneted
and generally rudely treated by the
members. Such is not the case.
What happens is that any member
observing stranger calls out:
"Waiter! fourteen hundred" and
that official takes possession of the
intruder, informs him that the
place is private, and requests that
he will accompany him to the door.
The origin of the cry fourteen hun
dred'' is lost in obscurity, but it is
believed that one year the members
numbered 1899, and with their usual
witty grasp of such facts they named
the next stranger the even century.

william and the English Throne.

A glance at the list of royal person
ages in the direct line of succession to
the British throne reveals some inter-
esting facts. How many people know
that there are only two adult males
between Emperor William and King
Edward? 1t is, however surprising it
may be, fact that the German en-
peror is the third male successor over
81. He stands twenty-fourth in the
list, but most of those before him are
women or children. Only two are
men of full age-the kings only son,
the Duke of Cornwall and York, and
his only living brother, the duke Of
ught.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Queer Bills in Congress,

The house does funny things some
times. 1t passed a bill the other day
establishing lighthouse on the coast
of North Carolina. The second sec
tion of the bill provided that ''the act
approved March 5, 1901, be, and the
same is hereby repealed" The act
thus wiped off the statute books at
one fell swoop was the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill, which appropriated
millions and millions of dollars for the
expenses of the government. In the
senate the bill will be amended so as to
be less sweeping in it's effect.-Wash-
ington Post.

Tenant Farming.

One of the striking things shown by
the last census is the remarkable in
crease of tenant farming. The per-
centage of farms operated by tenants
showed considerable increase by the
census of 1890. For the whole country,
this percentage has increased in the
last ten years nearly twice as fast as
the percentage of population of the
nation, four times that of the purely
agricultural population, and twice
that of the farms operated by their
owners.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
