special plspateh to Eren1nr Capltal.

Washington, ID. O.. Dec. 16. The
Navy Department has awarded the
contracts amounting to SIS. 900, COO for
ten sets of wireless telegraph outfits
of the Massi system. One of these
sets W i'll be installed at the Washing
ton navy yard, and most IF the others
will be set mp at the rev stations
along the Pacific Coast. There was
keen competition to obtain this con-
tract, and seven or eight bidders, rep
resenting as many wireless systems,
submitted proposals, ranging in price
from less than the contract to nearly
$500, 600 more. No one was able ia
explain why there should be such a
range of prices, but it is probably due
to the uncertainty existing in the
minds of the wireless people in regard
to their ability to meet all the gov
ernmental requirements.

expected TO pay the hated stamp tax
Rather than pay that tax the enraged
colonists dumped all the tea they
could find into the harSor This ao-
tion of the colonists has always been
considered as one of the most provoca-
tive of the revolution, as the British
officers were never able TO discover
or convict single man connected
with the raid, although it was led by
Pail Revere, William Mollineux, Col.
Joseph Palmer and Amos Lincoln.

The New Dispensation.

On the staff of one of the important
theological seminaries in Canada is a
professor who happily illustrates the
phrase, "A gentleman, scholar and
Christian" He is blessed with many
children whose education is a matter
of affectionate concern to him.
The youngest, a brigat little girl.
just beginning to be interested in Bible
study, went to him one day with a
number of perplexing questions as to
the way in which the Chosen People
dealt with their enemies. Her tender
little heart shrank at what seemed to
be such awful cruelty.
Rather than attempt to answer her
directly, her father led her into the
serener atmosphere of the New Tesla
ment with its teaching that one should
love their enemies, and so forth.
The child listened intently: hut owl
IDENTIFY some big thought was stirring
her brain. At last it found utterance
With huge sigh of relief she snugglad
closer in her fathers arms, a radiant
smile banishing the cloud from her
sweet countenance as she murmuyed.

Absurd and Perilous.

Congressman Lands desired to IL

honesty had been exposed.
There, before the crash came" he
said, "the man stood tottering and
swaying, pale and scared; and, though
l pitied him, had to laugh at him be-
cause his position was so ludicrous.
"He reminded me of the Indianap-
oils barber who got drunk one busy
Saturday afternoon.
This barber, heavy with eighteen
large, cold glasses of beer, lurched
into his, shop at the end of the ball
game, put on his white coat, seized a
razor, and began to shave a patron
whom the apprentice had just lathered
up.
GAS the barber shaved away he held
onto the patrons nose.
