Time to be Given Near End
OF Session
FOR TARIFF REDUCTION,
Subsidy to Be 1Stop-Gap" in the SEN
ate-Tariff on Works of Art Is
Not Likely to Be
Removed.

Washington, Dec. last year Repre-
sentative Lawrence of Massachusetts
came out fatty at the opening of the
session for tariff revision, arguing that
not only the changes desired for Massa-
ch,isetts industries should be made, but
also reductions meeting the demands in
other sections. Other members of the
delegation were not at first so enthusiasts
tic in the matter, but finally resolutions,
favoring revision, were unanimously
adopted. Mr.. Lawrence says he has
the same feeling about the question this
year, but shall make no press for legis-
lation. In conference with Speaker
Cannon Saturday, Lawrence. found him
frank in his views as a "stand patter,s
but willing to give the reyisionists a
hearing near the close of the session.
This aecords with the presidents wishes
to subordinate tariff to railroad rate
legislation. The Massachusetts delega-
tion win do its best to secure some re-
vision this winter. From what be has
learned since reaching Washington, Mr..
Lawrence feels sure the House stands
with the president for railroad legisla-
tion, and he also believes that the SEN
ate will fall into line.

Friday morning good sized bear

and took the sidewalk down Lewis street.
He proceeded past Prof. Gratis place,
then past Jim O'Neil's and w. NJ. Saw

son, the milkman. The bear then turn
ed and went up Powell street, to where
he met Archie Faussett.
Archie then turned and went home,
after gun. He met his brother, Tom,
and w. S. Perkins.
The gun was empty. Tom suggested
that they take an axe and pitehfork,
which Archie and Perkins agreed to.
The three then started out to hunt the
bear.
As soon as they arrived at the barn
ward they met Mr.. Bruin. Tom hit high
over the nose with the axe, but reached
little too far and hit the bears nose
with the handle. The axe few out Of
his hand, but he succeeded in knocking
the bear down. As soon as the bear
gained his feet, Tom hit him over the
back; Perkins iabbed him with the fork
and Archie hit him with a club about
ten feet long.
The bear started to climb the fence
at this time, when Tom again hit him
with the axe, which finished poor Bruins

were five cases of apology that, with
out the penalty, would have been shoot
ings and any number OF small make
ups, the issue Of which would have
been uncertain. Then 1t began to be
remarked that slippery Sam had killed
the church after all, for it was evident
that no one was going to shoot any one,
thus bringing on himself the penalty Of
building 1t.
Slippery Sam began to grow unpopu-
lar. It was not that he opposed reform.
but that he had proposed scheme
which was found to be irksome. At
the Alhambra saloon one morning the
matter of forcing the author OF the an
noying plan to end the embargo by
shooting some one himself was dis
cussed. The difficulty In the way was
that any one inducing him to shoot
must get shot The party was ready
to do most anything to put an end to
the situation, but no one was willing
to be the victim.
1t was finally decided to draw lots as
to who should insult slippery Sam and
get killed for the benefit of the whole.
Pete Hawkins drew the red poker chip
that had been put into a hat with q
dozen or more white ones. He asked
IL 1t was optional with him to be killed
or to kill Sam and suffer the penalty
of building the church. A conference
followed. at the end of which he was
informed that when the lots were
drawn 1t was understood that the loser
was to be shot 1t would not be fair to
those whose lives had been risked II
the drawing to now permit the loser to
save his life by building the church.
Hawkins turned a trif1e pale at this
decision and babe farewell to them all,
taking each by the hand. Then be
went out to find Slippery Sam. In ten
minutes d succession of pistol shots
were heard, and the citizens congre'
gated about the bodies Of slippery Sam
and Pete Hawkins. who had killed
each other, thus leaving the commune

had been left to build the church.

question whether the conditions still

HOW THE CHURCH

tOriginal.l
The people of Fireaway CITY were
emerging from barbarsm. Some Of
them Were already getting ashamed Of
the city's name, though this was by no
means outspoken AT any rate, the
frequent shootings which gave rise to
the appellation had somewhat fallen
off. Some of the older, more settled Of
the population advocated church.
They called d meeting Of the citizens,

who had never bad scrap with any
one-made a speech announcing that
the meeting had been called for the
purpose Of taking measures to build a
church "A church" he said. would
be useful In number Of ways. In The
first place, it would benefit our i'm.
mortal souls. In the second, it would
tend to the responsibility of the place
by reducing the number of shooting
affairs"
The citizens were unanimous that
they wanted d church. There was no
doubt about that. A subscription was
about to be opened when a man called
Slippery Sam, from the fact that be
had managed to kill every movement
for reform that had thus far taken
place. called the attention Of the meet.
