At another point DR.. Wiley said it
was a question whether the relief
sought for Cuba would have the effect
of killing outright the cane and beet
sugar industry of this country or
merely paralyzing them, rendering the
patient a burden to his friends But it
seemed perfectly certain, he said, that
there would be no further factories and
investments in this line in this country.
Probably there would be feeble efforts
to save things from the wreck, but, DR..
Wiley said, there would no longer be
the work of a young giant of protec-
ton.
On being questioned by Representa-
tive NewlandS of Nevada, DR.. Wiley
expressed himself in favor of Cuban
annexation, but said admission of Gu
ban sugars at reduced rates would be
disastrous to beet sugar
Representative Richardson of Ten
nessee questioned DR.. Wiley on the diff
ference between his views and those
expressed by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root. DR.. Wiley said he was
formerly connected with the beet sugar
experiment station in Nebraska. He
speaking for the Secretary
OF Agriculture. He was aware of the
views of the President, Secretary Root
and General Wood. but he said his
views were the result of his own in

Three women had come into the
street car at different intervals with
babies Of different intervals. The first
baby was lusty child with nerve test

year old, and the mother, just little
bit embarrassed at the bachelors
glares, finally gained courage to take a
bottle from n grip and plug up baby's
mouth with rubber neck. The third
baby was the newest of them all and
entered the car mere white bundle in
the arms of a dignified matron hardly
out of short skirts.
Beginning to unwrap the bundle,
which had been somewhat dlsarranged
in the haste to embark, the proud
mother first unfolded cunning pair of
blue worsted bottles that might fit q
grumpy old bachelors thumb. Then,
feeling the eyes Of the world upon her,
she showed baby's two fat legs. which
were as pink as her own ears. Then
the cunning sight was solemnly shut
from all eyes by procession of gowns
all of white, laced, tucked, embroidered
and plain. the fat legs kicking vigor-
ously, and baby's laces hid them from
sight.
Then the little mother sat the bundle
upright and threw soft cloak from
the other end, disclosing a round face,

ment and as pretty and baldheaded a
baby from end to end as ever made q
bachelor angry at his own lost oppor-
tunities. Then the three mothers smil-

NAPOLEON's ORDER.
THE LEGION OF HONOR AND HOW
1T WAS FOUNDED.


Despite the Ridicule the Project At
First Invited Its Inauguration
Proved That Napoleon Knew
French Human Nature.
France owes the Legion of Honor to
Napoleon. All orders of chivalry had
been abolished by the revolution and
had left gap which 1t was not easy to

Monge. the chemist. who had taught
the revolutionists how to make gum
powder out of plaster of paris. Gee

approach the question frankly. All
men are enamored of decorations
the French more than any. They POSI-
lively hunger for them. and they have
always. done So"
This was at Malmaison in 1902. In
May the conseil d'etat was invited to
consider the project of the institution
of the Legion of Honor. 1t was ridl-
culed by many, notably by Moreau,
who as victor Of Hohenlinden was bit
terly jealous of the victor Of Marengo.
At dinner party he sent for his cook
and said to him in the presence Of his
guests: michel. am pleased with
your dinner. You have indeed distin-
guished yourself. will award you a
saucepan of honor" Nine. de Stael
was also satirical upon the subject.

Caught n Tartar.

Like so many of his learned brethren
in the Church of England, the late
Canon Carter was the terror of COM
positors. His was perhaps, after Dean
Stanley's, the very worst handwriting
Of the last century.
About 1880 the then bishop Of Lich-
field, DR.. Maclagan. surprised one Of
his secretaries by saying: 81 have
hardly ever received IN anonymous
letter, but got one this morning. 1t is
very badly written, and 1 can hardly
make it out, but from the signature it
is sure to be abusive. The man has
signed himself "A Tartar See If you
can make it out"
The secretary. who knew the hand
writing. rather startled his lordship by
rejoining: ITS nothing alarming. It's
