when he is in a hurry.
Some of the bystanders urged that
the proxy business WOuldn work when
it came to observing Arbor Day and
that the tree wouldn't grow If it was
planted by proxy.
BY that time it was reported that his
train had changed tine and that he
had ten minutes longer than he had
supposed, so leaving orders for some
one to bring his grip after him he
started out to plant the tree.
The dirt was wet, almost muddy, and
the governor had a bright new shine on
his shoes which he hated to sp5il. but
he seized q spade and went at it. Sec

OLEO BILL PASSES.
Two Amendments by Senator
Harris We're Adopted.

Washington. April AT the conclu-
sion of lively debate the senate
passed the oleomargarine bill by a vote
of 80 to 81
The discussion was largely in the ma
ture of a reinforcement of arguments
previously advanced Mr.. Spooner
CWis.) made the principal speech, main
tanning that congress had ample au-
thority to enact the proposed legisla-
ton because it was in the interest of
the people. In an earnest protest
against the measure Mr.. Vest (Mo.) held
that congress was invading the powers
of the states. Mr.. Scott CIV. Va.) moved
to recommit the measure to the COM
mittee holding that 1t was unsatisfac-
tory to any of the senators and ought
to be perfected. The motion was de-
feated, 50 to 81.
A perfect flood of kilograms poured
into the senate from all parts of the
country, urging senator's either to sup
port or to oppose the measure.
The measure as passed by the SEN
ate differs in some respects from that
passed by the house. 1t provides that
OleOmargarine and kindred products
shall be subject to all the laws and reg
ulatlonS Of any state or territory or the
District of Columbia into which they
are transported, whether in original
packages or otherwise: that any person
who sells oleomargarine and furnishes
it fer the use of others, except to his
own family, who shall mix with it any
artificial coioration that causes 1t to
look Ike butter shall be held to be a
manufactures and shah be subject to
the tax provided by existing laws; that
upon OleonaTgarine colored SO as to re-
semble butter a tax of 10 cents per
pound shall be levied. but upon oleo=
margarine not colored the tax shall he
one-fourth of one cent per pound, that
upon aduiterated butter a tax of 10
cents q pound shall be levied, and upon
all process or renovated butter the tax
shall be one-fouTth Of one cent per
pound. The manufacturers of process
or Of renovated or of adulterated but
ter shall pay an annual tax of $780, the
wholesale dealers shall pay a tax Of
$780, and the retail dealers tax of s4S
per annurn.
The measure provides regulations for
the collection of the tax and prescrihes
INFINITELY how the various products arr

Ing tax OF 70 cents q paHnd on adus

ten fine young hard naples IN the state
house grounds. But the hand Of fate
and a "borer'' went hard with them and

side of the approach, and the governor
picked out that spot to plant his tree
