THE TARIFF REVISION
Gossip at the Capitol as to
It's Necessity.
THE TALK SATURDAY
HOW LEADERS LINED UP AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
Speaker Cannon Believes Extra Session
Should Be in the Spring and
Have It Over.
THE TALK SATURDAY

The important development today in the
legislative situation and outlook was the
statement that the "stand-pat' element in
Congress will not attempt to block the
Presidents efforts for tariff revision. While
distinctly reiterating their belief that tariff
revision Is not necessary or advisable, they
say they will not stand in the way of a
program adopted by the administration for
revision.
The case now narrows to the question OF
when shall revision be effected. Shall there
be an extra session of Congress immedi-
ately after March to push bill through
and enact it into law, or shall commit
tee of Congress work bill during the
summer months and report to an extra
session called in November?
Senator Aldrich is in favor of the latter
plan. He has. in fact, stated that he de-
sires to be absent from February to April
to accompany his family to Europe. Speak
er Cannon, on the other hand, insists that
if there must be tariff revision, if the ad-
ministration is dead set on it and revision
is inevitable. then every consideration of
policy indicates that the work should be

In describing their possessions and
their environment professional beggars
use nicknames. Thus a cent is known
as an Indian" Other coins are known
as white money" A detective is a
bull" and a policeman is "bull in
harness." A thief is a gun" and a
pickpoeket is a dip" A gold watch is
red kettle" Stamps are known as
"stickers" Money is "cush" A horse
car is a "rattler." When a beggar is
arrested he is said TO fall" The
workhouse is known as the band
house" The penitentiary is known as
she "big house" A revolver is a rod"
A beggar who gives out cards on
which are printed appealing bits Of
rhyme is known as q throw out"
One who sits cross legged on the walk
is known as a Hopper" One who
holds you up on the sidewalk is known
as a strong arm" SO It runs on, with
50 many expressions covering so many
figures Of speech that one not familiar
with their argot might listen to their
talk for hours without catching the
real meaning Of the conversation

The Curse Of the Permanent Job.

The Curse Of the Permanent Job.
1t is interesting and possibly impor-
tant to note that the chief cause OF
matrimonial failures is the chief cause
OF failure IN other directions. 1t is
what may be called the curse OF the
permanent job" Give a man what is
or seems to him 10 be a permanent job,
and he begins TO go TO seed. Ambition
dies. industry withers, skill dries up.
Before It is too late transfer him to
job where there are but two certainties
that he can keep II II he does we'll
that he will lose It If he doesn't. At
once there is an amazing change. and
the man who was degenerating into a
sour, querulous failure Is developing
into a cheerful, useful success. The
husband who says, Now I've got her"
and ceases 10 try to please or the wife
who acts in the same spirit Is on the
way TO matrimonial disaster. Whether
or not the marriage was made In heav-
en-, it's got to be lived on earth. Nor
are the laws Of human nature suspend
ed for the benefit Of the married.-Sat-

The hearty food and overeating, so
common in winter strain the stomach
and digestive organs so that by this time
the average person is out Of health. II
may be a simple headache, possibly sleep

weak and cannot properly take care of
the food. and as a result there is heart
hmm. indigestion, lack Of energy and a
general tagged out state
The stomach needs health and strength.
The various aches and pains that you
have are the stomach's cry for help and
its warning that it has been overworked.
Give It strength by taking Mi-o-na

do is work so promptly and naturally
