New Telephone Line.

The Cumberland Telephone and Tel
egraph Co., will, it is learned, be
gin at once the construction of line
along the Red River Valley tracks
from Shreveport to Alexandria. The
contract for the poles has been let to
the American Creosote Company OF
New Orleans. The distance to be ira
versed by the new line is 122 miles.
and it is estimated that it will re-
quire from Is to 100 carloads of poles
to cover the territory. The action of
the Cumberland people is substan-
tial indication of the rapidly develop
ing commercial importance of the ter
ritory to be traversed. 1t is proba-
bic that up the completion of the Red
River Line into New Orleans the Cum
berland will construct line along its
tracks from New Orleans direct to
Shreveport by a very roundabout way,
which is cumbersome and unsatisfac-
tory. The new line, which when COM
pleted will be the shortest in existence
between the two points. furnishes a
logical short cut which the telephone
people are likely to avail themselves
of Immediately.

Big Imports.

New York.-The government fisca!
year has been record-breaking one
as regards the value Of imports en-
tering the port of New York. Al
though the complete figures have not
yet been compiled it is known that the
imports for the last twelve months
exceed by nearly $5O,OOO,OOO the en-
tries Of last year. 1t is regarded as
significant of the general prosperity
of the country that many Of the most
notable increases in imports at New
York are in the direction Of luxuries,
such as diamonds, automobiles, fine

Endowment for Yale.

New Haven.-At the Yale alumni
meeting President Hadley announced
that John D. Rockefeller had prom
ised a gift of $1,OOO,OOO to Yale, and
that certain graduates of the Univer-
sity had pledged another million.
President Hadley said that the only
condition of any kind underlying Mr..
Rockefeller's gift is that the money
is to be invested in income-producing
securities and preserve inviOlate as an
endowment for the institution, the
annual income only to be used for
current expenses. He added that these
$2,0O0,0OO, already subscribed, were
to be considered merely the beginning
of an endowment fund which at least
must be doubled in the next year if
Yale is to maintain her position in the
educational world. The announcement
Of the gifts was received with loud
applause.

Why I

Why, when buying book. are we in.
huenced by the authors name! Why by
an artists if we purchase a picture!
Why do wise buyers insist upon having
a reliable name on nearly everything they
purchase!
1t is because the name attached is the
safeguard of the buyer = protection
against the palming off of inferior articles.
This name guarantee" We all look for in
the most important things we buy, and
what can be more important than our
food!
Everybody knows that all intelligent
housekeepers are very particular about the
buying of things to eat and drink, and no
body realizes it more than the up-to date
grocer, VINO caters to the wants OF his Gus
toners.
For instance, every real grocer knows
the reason for the universal popularity of
LION COFFEE, the leader Of all package
coftees. He knows that its uniform purity
and high quality have made it welcome in
millions of American homes for over a
quarter Of a century.
Realizing this he cannot but hand it out
eheerfully when asked for it. He knows
that the people accept the package as a
guarantee of the contents.
Yet there may be few grocers left who
do not recognize that the buyer-nOt the
seller-has the right of choice, and they
may want to cell their loose coffee (who
knows what it is, or where it came from!)
instead OF LION COFFEE, which the Gus.
toner asks for, and the merits Of which
both know.
In such cases the wisest advice is:
Change your dealer"

GERS, the daughter of the president,
Miss Alice Roosevelt, and others have
begun their journey to the Philip
pine Islands. Although Secretary
Taft expects to have a relief from the
arduous duties Of the past few months
during his absence, the trip is one
of official inspection and many mat
ters Of administration will be con-
sidered. A stay of four days will be
made in San Francisco. An impor-

to which Secretary Taft will give his
attention is the perfecting of title to
many acres of the friar lands which
is still considered cloudy and by rea-
son of which the purchase price of
the lands of the whole Dominican or

feature of the trip will be the call of
the secretary on the emperor of Japan
at Toxic. The japanese minister here
has assured the secretary that his
government is desirous of extending
every courtesy possible. Three months
are to be consumed in the trip includ-
a a stay of one week in Manila and a
trip around the islands occupying 10
days.

TASTE TELLS ONE LITTLE.
UnassIsted by Sense Of Smell, Onions
and Potatoes Are Alike.

UnassIsted by Sense OF Smell, onions
and Potatoes Are Alike.
"Do you really think that you can
distinguish the tastes of potatoes and
onions?" was the unusual question
that Prof. Burtis Burr Breese asked
his psychology class at the University
of Cincinnati the other morning.
Il have yet to see the individual
who could tell them apart when they
were reduced to the same consistency
and when the sense of taste only was
used"
At this point Miss Luella Latta, &
member of the class, showed some evil
dences Of doubling, and the professor
asked her If she would not exhibit to
the class exactly how discriminating
her sense Of taste was.
He explained that he did not have
the potatoes and onions en- hand, but
that he had something far more de-
cided in its taste and quite as familiar
to most people.
Then Miss Latta was asked to ster
w W buO IOSli ulu anu WhCh oAS w.
seated Prof. Breese told her that she
must not breathe through her nose
that is, she must rely altogether on the
taste and that he was certain she
would be unable to distinguish the
three things that he then proceeded
to give her separately.
She failed, quite as the professor
predicted, and he then told the class
that Miss Latta had not been able tC
tell wintergreen from peppermint OF
peppermint from cloves.
"In fact" he said, none Of you car
tell the difference simply by the sense
of taste. The taste Is aided greatly
by the sense of smell. All you really
taste is sweet and sour, salt and bit

Decrease IN Duty.

Nearly 100000 decrease in the
duty on imports to New Orleans was
recorded during the fiscal year ending
June 30ih, 1905. This is said to be
due to the large native sugar crop,
which did much toward cutting down
importations Of sugar. According to
the figures given out the amount col
lected as duty on imported goods dur
ing the year ending June 80, last was
$5,437, ,270.35, as against $9,l17, ,45O42
for the preceding year, showing de-
crease for the last year of $3.50, ,lSO.-
or. This is said to be the greatest de-
crease in collection on goods import
ed into %sw Orleans since the panic
