Norwegian Fish Peddier Who Had Neither Mercy Nor Conn

Among the interesting characters of little upstate" village is a Nor wegian fish peddler. whose intellectual efforts 10 use the English language are perpetual source of local amuse- ment. says the New York Tribune Hans Is a great brawny chap, who at some remote period acquired posses sion of the village fish route But age and long usage have not brought Hans an increased understanding of English.
 To his defect of language Hans adds another serious weakness, an undue fondness for drink, and when intoxicated he is in the habit of beat ing his unfortunate steed. The other day one of the dignifed matrons of the village discovered Hans standing on the sidewalk and flashing his nag unmereifully. In great indignation the irate woman strode up to him and said sternly:
 Hans, what are you doing? Have you 10 mercy-have you no compass sion?'
 Hans strengthened up with diff culty. under the mistaken impression that there was a possible business transaction in sight, and answered uusteadily:
 ''No. mem. No got mercy-no got compassion-no got nothin' but cod and haddock."

Bachelors Wear skirts.

A peculiar custom is followed in remote Korea. where a man is not permitted to attain 10 the dignity of trousers until he has become Benedict, which, in accordance with Korean tradition, amounts to the same thing as gaining definite po- sition in life, as the Korean youth is not permitted to take a wife unto himself until he is able to support her according to his or her rank and to enable her to take his and her proper position in society. It must be added, however. that the steady eneroachment of western ideas from Russia and Japan is bringing Euro pean garments with it. and, there fore, this curious custom Is gradual ly becoming a thing of the past Cincinnati Enquirer.

RECIPROCITY NTH GUBA.
Further Hearing On the Subject By the House Committee on
 Ways and Means.
THE TOBACCO INTEREST IN EVIDENCE.
IL is Claimed That the Purpose of the Reciprocity Movement is 10 Have the Whole Expense of Cu- has Relief Fall On the Sugar and Tobacco Industries of America.

Washington. Jan. 22.-The ways and means committee resumed it's hearings on Cuban reciprocity with special reference to the proposed re- duetion on Cuban tobacco. The to- baccs interests of the United States were largely represented, the officers of the large leaf manufacturers and growers associations were present. John R. Young. president Of the Ma tional Leaf Tobacco association, made an earnest plea against any to- baceo concessions to Cuba. He said there undoubtedly was Q public senti- ment in favor of granting relief to Cuba. but he contended that we should be as just to the people of our own country as to the people of for eign countries.
 The purpose of the movement for reciprocity he said. was to have the whole expense of Cuba's relief fall on two American industries-tobacco and sugar. There was now a tobac- co acreage in Ohio of 35.000 acres. Wisconsin. 5000. Pennsylvania. o. 900. New York. = .000, Connecticut. 1f,oo0 and several thousand acres in other states. all of which production would be seriously crippled.
 As To cigars, Mr. Young declared that the proposed concessions would wipe out the American-made ten-

Mr. Young said, would secure for Cuba the entire American market for all goods above five cents.
 Representative Richardson. of Tennessee, asked if the price of cigars would be reduced to the cigar smoker.
 Mir. Young said the price would be reduced but he did not believe the consumer would ask this reduction at the expense of the American in austry.
