Worse and Worse.

George c. Boldt the famous restau-
rateur, was talking at the Waldorf
Astoria to an old friend from Phila-
delpha The subject of cooking came
up, and Mr.. Boldt said that the French
were the best cooks in the world.
Don't you remember" he said,
smiling, "the story Of the French auto
crat of the gloomy Faubourg st. Ger
main? This man gave, in his secluded
and grim old mansion, an elaborate
dinner. The dinner was a success from
the oysters to the dessert, but one dish
was particularly fine-so fine in fact,
that the cook was brought into the
dining room and publicly congratulate
ed. "Wihat. tho. is this dish
my good Francois?' the master asked.
we know it is some kind of wild fowl,
but it has flavor all it's own-a flavor
none of us ever met with before
"That dish,' the chef answered,
proudly, is triumph of the culinary
art Only Frenchman could have
prepared it. 1t is, in one word, an
OWL
"'An owl!' cried everyone, turning a
little pale.
But how lady asked, could you
have been SO cruel as to kill the poor
bird?'
"'Ah madam said the cook, I did
not kill it. 1t was dead already"

Ship Subsidy May Prevent Japanese

Washington, Dec. 1S.- President
Roosevelt's message on ship subsid-
les, which will be presented to con-
gress shortly after the holidays, II is
believed, will support the Galinger
subsidy bill as passed by the senate,
but the house committee on merchant
marine and fisheries probably viii re-
port the bill SO amended that 1t will
merely offer subvention to mail
steamers sailing between this coun-
try and South American and oriental
ports. Several members of congress
who are supporting the ship subsidy
have furnished the president with in
formation concerning American ship
ping for use in his message.
Representative Humphrey called the
presidents attention to the fact that
Japan had been negotiating for the
purchase of all first class American
ships of the Pacific and expressed the
opinion that purchase of the Pacific
Mail or Hill line by Japan would all
most certainly result in freight agree
ment with Japan extending over Amer
lean railroads. He assured the presi-
dent that Japanese lines running to this
country give rebates and other advan-
tages TO Japanese merchants in the
United States, with the result that
many American merchants have been
driven to the wall
The ship owners international al

Humphrey. who showed that it in

A CHANGE OF HEART
Germany's Legislators Make a Pre-
nomenaI Switch in Their Attitude
Towards United States = Want
Closer Political and Trade Agree
nnents.

Berlin Dec. 1S.-The spirit shown by
the American tariff commissioners in
their inquiry as to precisely what the
German government desires and itA
reasons therefore has caused the Ger
man commissioners to feel confident
that an understanding, so far-reach-
ing that the idea of a tariff war must
be excluded, will be reached. This
hopeful view is expressed by the news
papers. which today give prominence
to reports of the dinner given last
night by the American Association of
Trade and Commerce, in honor of the
American and German commissioners.
The conservative party newspapers
have adopted quite different tone to-
wards the United States than previous
ly.
At a meeting of the conservative
members of the reichstag last week.
the leaders of the party said it was the
duty of the conservatives to work in
the interest of mutually advantag-
eous trade arrangement with the Unit
ed States and for the most friendly po-
litical relations with that country. The
conservatives form the backbone of the
agrarian interests and the changed at
titude of the party is an interesting po-
litical phenomenon, indicating in
creased harmony between the strict
government view and the views of the
landed aristocracy regarding the for
eign policy of Germany.

FORGOT His "Incoo.n

Chancellor James r. Day, of Syra-
cuse university was discussing at a
dinner his recent edict against theater-
going and the use of tobacco by stu
dents holding scholarships.
Scholarships" said Chancellor Day,
"are for poor students, and he Who
smokes and visits theaters may be
poor, but he is not living up to the
part.
1--WE should all live up to our parts.
To disguise ourselves. to travel incog-
nito is never wise. To travel incognito
is too often associated with something
disgraceful. Witness the story of the
tramp who, at magistrates early
morning hearing, did not answer to his
name, sitting absently in his seat as
the name was shouted four or five
times. When matters finally righted
themselves, the magistrate said
angrily:
".why didn't you answer to your
narne?'
"'Beg yer pardon, yer honor but I
forgot wot name guv last might re-
piled the tramp.
"'What?' thundered the magistrate.
Didn't you give your right name?
".No, yer honor said the tramp,
I'm trayelin' incog.'"

by the president follows:
If therefore. the police power of
San Francisco, is not sufficient to meet
the situation and guard and protect
Japanese residents in San Francisco, to
whom under our treaty with Japan we
guarantee full and perfect protection
for their persons and property then.
1t seems to me. it is clearly the duty of
the federal government to afford such
protection. All considerations which
may move a nation. every consideration
of duty in the preservation of our
treaty obligations, every consideration
prompted by fifty years or more of
close friendship with the empire of

He Never Hove "eampy."
[Boston Herald


Micah Jarrett was a shrewd horse
trader to the day Of his death. He was
slightly deaf, and used his deafness in
his business to no small degree.
One day he sold an old horse to a
neighboring farmer who thought he had
found a great bargain. He changed his
mind, however, when, after driving his
new purchase a few minutes, the beast
emitted a series of explosions strongly
resembling the exhaust of a locomotive.
Straightway he drove to "Gampy,
who was sharpening a knife in his
dooryard, his son Abner turning the
grindstone. The disgruntled purchaser
began long TRADE, which was per-
fectly audible to the old man, who,
however, simulated great deafness and

Citizens Of Northwest Confronted With
Necessity of Using outbuildinss and
Valuable Lumber for Fuel - Grain
piled on tho Ground Because Eleva-
tors Are Full - Prices Demoraiizsd.

Minneapolis, Dec 1S.-The second
day of the interstate commerce COM
mission inquiry into the northwest
transportation conditiond brought out
facts of first Importance relative to the
effects upon the country Of the grain
blockade. The commission had given
over the first day very largely to the
fuel inquiry, with the idea OF relieving
distress. and to this end had sent out
telegrams of inquiry to many points
asking as to the coal supply and the
prospects of its holding out. Tele-
grams began to pour in early today.
When reports were in from over twen-
ty towns it was clear the commission
had acted none too quickly in securing
a promise Of cooperation on the
part of the coal companies and rail-
roads in relieving the distress, for in.
some localities farmers have been
burning fences and outbuildings. Up
to yesterday in other towns piles Of
valuable lumber were cut up into fuel
to keep the people from freezing to
death.
A number Of North Dakota farmers
told the commission story as to the
effect of the blockade upon the price of
wheat, and how prices have been de-
pressed abnormally because the eleva.
tors were full.
Wheat lay on the ground at many
points, there was no open market in
some instances, they had either to sac
rif1ce it in price or haul 1t back home
again, after having offered It for sale4
two or three times. Several reliable
witnesses gave testimony showing the
failure to move the crops had put the
country commercially in q strained
condition.
The commission at the close Of the
hearing expressed itself as startled at
some of the reports sent to it and stat
ed the inquiry had opened up much
new information, and has so far shown
the situation more serious in every re-
spect than they had expected to drd it
when they decided to begin the inves-
tigation.
