That Was All.

A young girl who Is always trying
some new thing was present once
when the doctor set a neighbours bro
ken arm. She was sure that she knew
exactly how it was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledge into
practice. Some time later a hen out
in the chicken yard broke its leg. The
girl directly announced that she meant
to set it land make it as good as
new" Accordingly it was put into a
plaster cast and left for the proper
length Of time to knit. When the day
came to take of the cast the girl ran
out to the henhouse in great eagerness
to see the result. Presently there was
a scream that brought every member
Of the family to her side. The chicken
was jumping miserably over the ground
sidewise instead Of directly forward.
You know a hens leg has a crook.
Well, she had crooked it the wrong
way, that was all.

regulating railroads, and asserting
that such a power as is now given
the interstate commerce commission
is dangerous not only to the railroads,
but to the industrial interests of the
country. Mr.. Kindell. who asked to
be heard, did not make direct answer
to Hartman, put arraigned the
railroads for their alleged unfair rate
discrimination.

Paris, Nov 20.-The elimination of
the microscopic examination of pork
from the new American inspection
regulations has resulted in prelimin-
airy decision by the French customs
authorities, barring out American
ham, bacon, canned pork, etc.
After long diplomatic negotiations
several years ago France agreed to
admit American pork on a govern
ment certificate that it had been mi.
croscopicslly examined and found
sound. When the new regulations
were submitted to the authorities,
they ruled that these didn't comply
with the old agreement, and prompt
measures were taken to secure their
reversal and if possible avoid long and
unpleasant diplomatic negotiations.
Ambassador Mccormick, who was
instructed from Washington, pointed
out that the new meat inspection was
more rigorous than the old system.
Foreign Minister Pinchon promised
to give the matter his attention, but
said that the matter must first be de-
cided by the finance and agricultural
departments.

SPANISH FLOATING DOCK
AGAIN READY FOR SERVICE

she was placed in condition to dock
vessels. The docking yesterday of the
two tugs is the first work to be done,
but the dock will be kept constantly
in service for some weeks, as there
are many vessels at the yard that
are yet ashore and which will have to
go in dock to be repaired
: The Aeeomac was one of the tugs
carried high upon the beach and did
not suffer as much damage as the
Wauban. The latter sunk almost at
her mornings, six piling having been
driven through her hull. The Ac-
comac was recently launched and the
Wauban raised, and for some days
workmen will be engaged in putting
these vessels in seaWorthy condition
The services of a dock have been
badly needed at the navy yard since
the storm. The wooden dock was
completely destroyed. and consequent
ly all efforts were conferred in getting
the Spanish dock in condition for
service. Now that this has been ac-
cOmplished the work of repairing yes
sells will progress more rapidly.
1t is expected that by the date the
tugs are ready to be launched from
the dock that the Isla de LuZOn will
be floated and will go in dock, after
which will come the Gloucester and
other vessels as they are floated.
