An Object Lesion Ready at Hand.

What is known as the Philippine
Tariff bill was on the 18th of December
reported to the House of Representa-
tives from the Committee on Ways and
Means by the following vote:
AYES.
Payne (Rep.), New York.
Dalzell (Rep.), Pennsylvania.
McCleary(Rep. }, Minnesota.
Hill (Rep), Connecticut.
Boutell (Rep), Illinois.
Curtis (Rep.), Kansas.
Needham (Rep,) California
Total, Z.
NOES.
~. Babcock (Rep.), Wisconsin.
Wa. Alden Smith (Rep.). Michigan.
Williams [Dem.), Mississippi.
Robertson Dem }, Louisiana.
Clark Dem }, Missouri.
Total. 5.
1t will be seen that the bill had a mar.
row escape from dying in committee.
The change of q single vote from aye to
no would have produced tie. AS the
bill is distinctively an administration
measure, rather more nerve than usual
was required of the two Republican
members who voted against it; but in
view of the Free-Trade provisions of
the measure it would not have been sur
prising If at least three of the Repub-
licans voting in the affirmative had
voted the other way. 1t is one of the
anomalies of politics to find such Pro-
tectionists as 'Dalzell, McCleary and
Needham assisting toward the enact
ment Of a law that inaugurates Free

The Atlantic Monthly begins the
year 1906 with an uncommonly striking
number in both theimportance and the
freshness of interest of its articles. Es-
pecially notable is a group of three
papers upon questions of international
politics. Judge Francis G. Lowell of
the United States Circuit Court writes
upon American Diplomacy" John W.
Foster, ex-Secretary of State, upon 1.-THE
Chinese Boycott" and Herbert III. d.
Fierce, Third Assistant Secretary of
State. upon "The Mujik and the New
Regime in Russia" Among the variety
of other interesting papers, special at
tention should be called to "Of our Anxss
ious Morality" by Maurice Maeterlinck
the great Belgian mystic and moralist, a
curiously vivid record of Impressions
from Chicago Faces" by Loren H. B.
Knox, and very incisive and plain
spoken paper upon "The University
Presidency" by Andrew S. Draper.

not his mother or father. nor his
little brothers and little sister who
consoled over his being SO short

Is il proper for US to employ
the term "consoled"?. Yes. The
parents had been consoling, altho
the sentence was pronounced at
his birth. that perhaps the little
will be spared for them; hoped TO
the last moment as they have, al
tho the sickness was growing
worse. for the better. But death
showing no mercy. moved down
the bud yet in its bloom, infiicting
a deep and lasting wound to the
parental shrub.
Your darling son has left, no
longer abides his corporal self a

until the meeting above. Consol'
ing to you will be the remem-
branee, that IT is better for HIM TO
live a spiritual life, in which sor'
row and ,ribulation are unknown.
The interment will take place
Friday morning, at the Catholic

here is no room left for any more
The reason for this is that the
grain-men cannot get enough cars

convenience and furnish more cars
for the people. This has more
harm in its itself than at first

The elevator men. because of this
will be compelled 10 cease buying
because they have no room for il,
and besides this will damage the

 It was astonishing how many suc- ceeded in bafiiing the pursuit from the field of Culloden. The kilt gave great freedom of the limbs. Most men were inured to long marches and could exist on little food. They knew the passes through the hills, and the best hiding places were pointed out to them by tho country people who kept them from starving and would give no informR- tion.
 A reward of E30,000 was promised for news that would lead to the arrest of Prince Charlie. Many knew where he was. but no word ever reached the camp of the garrison of the victor and the prince issued througnt the midst of vigilant enimlcs and got away safely to France.
 The adventures of the Jacobites were numberless. This is how a dairymaid saved her master After King Georges army had subdued the rebels they went through the country disposses- sing King James friends of their lands. A captain with band of soi- diers were sent to take possession of MacLachlan's land. They surrounded the house and would not let any per- sons out without searching them There was a dairymaid there called Christine Sinclair. who was washing the house at the time.
 She knew the soldiers would try to take the title deeds of the lands and going to her mistress. said she could save them.
 What can you do. christine?t said her mistress. They will put a sword through you if they find you with the deeds"
 But tho lairymaid insisted that were the papers given to her she could get them away through the midst of all the soldiers. At last the lady allowed Christine to wrap the deeds in one of the cloths with which she washed the floors. A dry clout or napkin was selected. and the pepers wrapped in this. She put this dry cloth inside one of the wet clots she had used. and wrung It to make it look like the rest She then put all the wet clouts in basket and went out to spread them to dry on a green.
 When she got to the door hostile officed with a guard was standing at the door. He stopped her and asked: What have you in your handsY'
 She let down the basket at his feet and said to him There fl is for you"
 He took his bayonet and brushed the clouts backward and forwardh with 1t. When he saw what he thought was nothing but a lot of wet clouts with the water Wrung out or them, nc said You may take them away with you"
 Christine went to the green and spread the clouts there. but took out the title deeds. and placing them in her bosom, concealed them.
 The soldiers searched the house and made the lady take an oath that what she said about ignorance of them was the truth. She could do this with a good conscience, as only Christine knew what had happened to them, so the titles to the property were saved by the ready wit of the brave dairy. maid.
