bright, and, although the captain per-
sonally superintendent the restoration
of the castle when he purchased the
lease, Mr.. Aston considered that a
second overhauling was necessary.
The ancient moat is to be supplement-
ed by two large lakes, while the chang
ing of the course of the River Eden,
the building of new portion of the
high-road, the wholesale cutting down
Of many century-old apple trees and
the general alteration of the quaint,
picturesque castle itself have been
made a part of a gigantic scheme of
improvement
Quite small village is being con-
structed round the castle, the houses
built in solid carved oak with plas-
tered panels, and with chimneys, ga
bles, windows and doors in Tudor
style, to match the principal buildings.
A large deer park is also in course of
being laid out, surrounded by high
fence of oak slaves.
Hever castle contains grand stair
case, a long gallery, oak-paneled, a
fine banqneting hall, with a musicians,
gallery, and numerous very pictures
que sitting and bedrooms, including
those occupied by Henry VIII, Anne
Boleyn and Katharine Howard, who
was sent into seclusion there. The
castle is considered one of the finest
specimens extant of the Domestic ar
chitecture of the Fifteenth and Six
tenth centuries, and was erected in the
time of Edward III by Thomas de
Hever, and purchased in the reign Of
Henry vi by Sir Godfrey Boleyn,
grandfather of the luckless Anne, who
was born there, and there, too, en-
joyed brief period Of sunshine dur
ing her courtship.

dred gold dollars from the treasury
of the United States.
If the South Water Street merchants
were to undertake to supply the tables
of the interstate commerce commits
sioners free with fruit in season"
they would be bribing those commits
sioners. Yet in doing this they would,
like the railroads, be merely offering
of their wares. have not heard any
one say that the commissioners de-
mand any free fruit from the mer-
chants. have heard that they regu-
larly ask for free railroad passes.
should not care to draw hasty con-
illusions from this comparison, but the
facts do seem to bear out the feeling
that passes have their influence, for
we find that good many cases
against railroad officials are not push
ed by the commission. Where de-
cision can not be escaped, it seems
to settle down comfortably, as soon
as made, in the dead letter" Office.
AS in the case of those Southern Pa
cific officials who were indicted by a
federal grand jury in New Orleans, SO,
apparently, in other instances, the
commission is not able to state why
these cases have not been brought to
trial"
1t is certainly safe to say that great
corporations are not in. the habit of
giving money away. If they did not
see some prospect of return in CIV
ing passes to the men who are to sit
in judgment on their actions, they
would not issue those passes. II
those who sit in judgment did not see
that the roads feared their power they
would not ask for the passes. 1t is
"a small matter easily got at (if
some one in high place would make
the start) and the mere spectacle OF
our governing bodies obeying the laws
of their own making might have a
healthy influence on us all.

M'II Pay You for That"

This little parable by an unknown
author teaches it's own lesson:
A hen trod on ducks foot. She did
not mean to do it, and it did not hurt
the duck much; but the duck said, I'LL
pay you for that" So the duck flew
at the old hen; but as she did so. her
wing struck an old goose, that stood
close by.
'Tll pay you for that" cried the
goose, and she few at the duck, but
as she did so, her foot tore the fur of
cat that was just then in the yard.
'I'll pay you for that" cried the
cat, and she started for the goose; but

as she did so, her claw caught In the
wool of a sheep.
I'll pay you for that" cried the
sheep, and she ran at the cat: but as
she did so, her foot hit the foot Of
dog that lay in the sun.
"I'll pay you for that!' cried he. and
jumped at the sheep; but as he did SO,
his leg struck an old COW that stood
by the gate. -
sIll pay you for that" cried she,
and she ran at the dog; but as she did
SO, her horn grazed the skin of horse
that stood by tree.
"I'll pay you for that" cried ne,
and he rushed at the cow
What noise there was! The horse
flew at the cow, and the COW at the
dog, and the dog at the sheep, and the
sheep at the cat, and the cat at the
goose, and the goose at the duck, and
the duck at the hen. What a fuss
there was!-and all because the hen
accidentally stepped on the ducks
toes.

RAILROAD PASSES
Public Opinion Accepts Them fol
Their Money Value

iuSu WoHCy sdiuS
A writer in Success" states the
real truth as follows:
It is, perhaps, better to suggest a
small, wholly practicable reform than
to go at windmills. The eradication
of this faint, inevitably slow process,
will not unlikely be brought about by
a gradual elevation of public senti-
ment. At present, senators, represent
atives, governors, legislators and
judges are accepting free passes from
the railroads.
The fact is widely known. 1t has
been illustrated by New York's district
attorney. Mr.. Jerome, finding that
the upstate legislators we're against
any modification Of the intolerable
"Raines Law" which has dotted New
York City with disreputable hotels,
suddenly made the announcement that
he proposed to investigate the pass
evil at Albany. Within twenty-four
hours State Senator Raines told the
reporters that he was deeply inter-
ested in aiding Mr.. Jerome to bring
about the proposed reforms, and that
he was sure the legislature would find
little difficulty in coming to an agree
ment with the district attorney And
Jerome, not unlikely with a half smile,
said no more about passes.
1t is small matter. The law on
this subject was never popular and it
has been generally ignored. Being a
laughing stock, throughout the three
branches of the government, and
reaching even to the chief executive,
we find the custom all but universal.
But, on the face of it, the custom is
wrong. In the fact that it is "a small
matter" lies it's chief danger, for it is
a subtle influence, not considered i'm
portant enough to be squarely faced.
/ have been told, in number OF ap-
parently trustworthy quarters, that the
interstate commerce commissioners
travel on passes. If this is true-and
anyone who has observed the comings
and gOingS OF politicians Will De likely
to accept it without question-it is
wrong. There is an incongruity in the
spectacle of this body of men whose
allotted work in life is to keep the
railroads in hand and prevent such
abuses and determinations as those
OF the private car accepting, from
these very railroads, favors which
are as direct a gift of money as it
they came in the form of certified
checks. Transportation is money-to
the railroad, to the passenger, to the
shipper; and the slip of paper which
empowers the bearer to take hun
dred dollars worth of transportation
comes about as near to being money
as the slip of government paper which
empowers the bearer to take hun

FOR COCKRELL'S SEAT
FIGHT IN MISSOURI IS OF wARMEsr
 KIND.
Representative Cook Declares He Was Approached by am Alleged Ennis
 sary of Niedringhaus who
 offered to Buy His Vote.

St. Louis, Jan. 16.-1nterest in the Senatorial situation Is at fever heat tonight both in St. Louis and Jefferson City on the eve of the balloting in the legislature for a successor to United States Senator Francis M. Cockrell
 The recent investigation here by the two legislative committees into the charges of the resolution of Represen- tatiye Grace that brewers had con- tributed largely to the State campaign funds in violation of the corrupt practices act, followed by the story of a dinner held at the home of R. C.. Kerens Saturday night, at which it was alleged plans were formulated to defeat Thomas K. Niedringhaus the caucus nominee. for Senator, and strengthen the forces of Kerens, who was one of has stirred the political Armament in Missouri to vast extent.
 The Senate Investigating Committee continued taking testimony at Jeffer- son City regarding the campaign fund contributions, and Representative Cook of Howell County testified that an at tempt had been made to buy his caucus vote. adding a new phase to the already complicated Senatorial situation.
 Representative Cook, who said he voted in the caucus for R. c. Kerens.
 
 made to purchase his vote for Niedring- haus. He declaEed that Postmaster Hallenback of West Plains had made the advances to him, saying he came direct from the headquarters of the Republican State Committee in St. Louis where he had talked with Med ringhaus, the chairman.
 In an interview today, Niedringhaus denied that either Hallenbeck or any other person had any authority to make representations on his part and said further:
 T made no promises or pledges of any kind to anybody, either before or after the Senatorial caucus"
 Mir. Kerens said tonight to the As sociated Press that he did not wish to be interviewed concerning the Sena- torial contest at Jefferson City in any manner. MT. Kerens however, declar- ed 1t to be his purpose to make a state- ment over his signature as had been his custom from time to time previous to the meeting of the legislature and during his Senatorial campaign and also since the caucus, so that his posi- tion may not be misrepresented or mis- understood.
 The statement I propose to make will not be forthcoming for some days"
 With respect to entertainments at his home. Mir. Kerens said that it was his privilege to have these and to en- certain whom and whenever he pleased.
 "A mans home Is his castle" he said whether it be a log cabin or a palace"
 MT. Kerens said: 'I have kept open house ever since I have lived in St. Louis, now nearly thirty years. Friends are always welcome and I am glad to say. visit me in godoly numbers at all times, and this should not be sub ject for publication

HAD BASKET OF MONEY.
Instead of Vegetables, Green Back
 Were the Contents.

Columbus, Ga,, Jan. tc..-(Special.)-- An old gentleman neatly but not ex- travagantly dressed, walked into a business office in Columbus this morn- ing and asked for permission to sit by the fire and warm himself, as he was quite cold.
 The permission was readily granted, as the weather was extremely cold and the old man seemed to be suffering from it's effects. He walked in, took seat by the stove, and placed a basket on the floor beside him.
 After he had warmed himself thor oughly. he asked in a casual way if the bookkeepe- could give him $1OO bills for some money he had with him, remarking that small bills were cum bersome. He took the cover off his basket, and instead of it holding vegetables or meat as had been sup posed, it contained greenbacks. The basket was fairly well filled with money. and the sight was one that mado the eyes of the people in the of flee bulge. He was directed to a near by bank and left, lugging the basket on his arm. When your correspon- dent passed hy the bank q short time afterwards he was still counting money, and no doubt he succeeded in reduc- ing the mass of papers to bills of more copvenient denomination.

REFUSE TO PAY TAX.
Merchants of GIrard Claim City COun-
 ell Acted Without AufhnrIfY

Girard, Jan. l6.--(Special.) IA sen sation was created in municipal circles in Girard today when the merchants of the town refused point blank to pay the open door license required by the city of Girard under an ordinance re- gently adopted.
 Heretofore while certain lines of business have been taxed in Girard, there was general open door license tax. Recently the council adopted an ordinance fixing such tax. This morning when Clerk Knowles started out to collect, the merchants refused to pay the money. saying that there is nothing in the charter of the city of Girard which permits the imposition of ahy such tax.
 Mayor Coulter admitted that the au- thorty of the city to collect the money was somewhat doubtful and said that the ordinance had been passed by the council without getting legal advice. The matter will be referred to the city attorney of Girard, and council will take his advice whatever it is
