The governor goes so far as to de

ties in this state desire it'-that is. "im

world moves.
Perhaps the most hopeful sign of the
times Is the fact that Senator Henry
Cabot Lodges hide has been so far
loosened up by recent events that he is
now in favor of free hides. After all
the world moves.
But so far { the public has been in
formed the geuhtor has not advanced
with Governor Guild TO the point of be

tariff on leather and leather products

lot of room for Il in his case. At the

But driven by both parties" in Mas.

the cause of tariff revision. OF course

1anciful for entertainment.

minimum tariff, but Senator Aldrich
let the cat out of that bag by saying
that lie was in favor of "a maximum
and minimum tariff-with the Dingley
rates as the minimum!" When they
read that tariff revisionists had to
pinch themselves to see if they were
awake. Recognizing the fact that Sen
ator Aldrich is the Republican czar of
the senate, they inevitably concluded
that If his maximum and minimum is
the measure of Republican relief theiI

Chinese Letter ,Wri.ino.

1t is customary in China for the
writer of a letter to address the man
to whom he is writing as "my elder
brother" and usually begins with the
phrsse, MAY all the blessings of
life be thowered upon you; such is
the wish of your imbecile junior"
The address on the envelope is,
From my humble cabin to the
glorious palace of pearls of my eld-
er brother" and it makes no differ

Oiler children both families being

this, Oller took knife from his

OF all the speakers of the house. Mr..
speaker Cannon perhaps got along
with the least friction during his first
term in the chail--a result which grew
out of his abundant common sense. his
thorough knowledge of the workings
of congress, his desire to be fair and
his unfailing good temper. The best
wish that one can express for him is
that his second term may be as pleas
ant and successful as his first. And
the same prayer would be appropriate

Striking Z Barnain.

A story is told of st. Folk, the
French poet. Like many ether stu
dents aspiring to the gifts of this
classic art, he forgot to pay his
debts. His creditors were larger in
proportion than the checks received
for his poems. Ere long he found
himself in precarious condition,
but somehow he managed to evade
all creditors through the exertion of
his caustic wit. One day he sat in
the BARRIERS chair withishis face lath-
cred and ready to be shaved. Sud-
denly creditor approached him and
in stentorian tones demanded the
payment of bill. "Won't you wait
until l get shave?" inquired the
poet in utmost civility. Certain
ly," replied the other, pleased at the
prospect of collecting some money.
st. Folk made the barber witness
to the agreement, then calmly wiped
the lather from his face. He wore
a beard to his dying day.

in the back; then walked over to
him, picked up the knife from the
ground, and went home. Oiler
partially rose, and was assisted
home by John Williams, George
Douglas and others. He did not
regain CONSEQUENCES, and died a
few hours later. The coroner,
DR.. Hayman, of Murray City, was
summoned, and held an inquest.
A portion of the skull having been
removed, small clot of blood
was found at the back of the head
extending around toward h g
right eye. Professional opinions
differed, as to whether the blow
would produce death in all cases.
The evidence for the two sides
of the. case was fatty contradic-
tory on some points. About fifty
witnesses in all were examined,
and the evidence was all in by
2;3O Wednesday afternoon, when
the court adjourned till 9:SO
Thursday morning in order to
give counsel tim to prepare their
arguments. Four and half
hours time was allotted to each
side, and all of Thuraday was con-
sumed in this manner.

Things are not always what they
seem. Appearances are often decep-
tive. Physiognomy cannot be relied on
implicitly at all times. These proposi-
tions are illustrated and substantiated
by the fact that youth in Illinois on
matrimony bent recently mistook Mr..
Speaker Cannon for n Methodist min

the marriage ceremony for him. No

both sides of the Atlantic of what may
be called incidental honors. Napoleon
