Grocer Was Getting Even.

"That was tit for tat with a ven-
geance," said Walter Christie, the au-
tomobilist, apropos of a quarrel be-
tween two French chauffeurs. 1T re-
minds me of grocer l used to know
in Paint Rock. This grocer went over
to the jewelers. one day to get a new
crystal put on his watch. The latter
as he fitted and cleaned the crystal
suddenly flushed. He bit his lip and
frowned. His hand trembled so that
he could hardly go on with his task.
Finally, handing the watch to the gro
cer the jeweler said in a restrained
voice: Beg pardon, but didn't | just
see you put couple of rings and a
scarfpin in your pocket?"
Sure you did, said the grocer,
boldly When you come to my place
aren't you always putting things in
your mouth?"

IMPARTIAL TARIFF IMPERATIVE
II Is the Only Kind That the United
States Can Afford to Have.

dispatch from Washington re,
peats the nonsensical statement that
"the German tariff situation is ex-
tremeiy embarrassing to the state de-
partment," because there is little hope
that congress will kegislate so as to
make it possible for Secretary Root
to live up to inducements held out to
Germany, which resulted in the tenn
porary extension to this country by
Germany of it's minimum tariff rates,
pending a readjustment of the GUS
toms regulations" No one with any
knowledge of the situation would have
written such stuff as the above. 1t is
inconceivable that Secretary Root,
or any one else connected with the
state department, should have offered
inducements to Germany of the kind
suggested, for the simple reason that
such action would have been an un-
warranted interference of an execu-
tive department with the lawmaking
power.
At no time since the threat was put
forth by German interests of waging
has there been any reason to believe
that this country would recede from
its position of treating all nations
alike. 1t is true that a noisy CON
tingent of American free traders who
believed that the "bluffing" tactics of
Germany would prevail persisted in
asserting that we were scared and
VIC nl.n u
ed by the Germans, but no one at
tached any Importance to what they
said. Germany certainly did not, for
she practically receded from her po-
sition, which she knew might create
situation which could easily have
been made intolerable for her, and
it is likely, if we may Judge from
the expressions of such experts as
Herr Bueck, that she will take time
in which to fully consider the possi-
BILE outcome of a tariff war.
Apart from every other considera-
ton, common honesty demands that
we adhere to our refusal to modify
our tariff regulations in the manner
urged by Germany. The manufac.
turers of that country complain that
our inquisitiveness on the score OF
prices is highly offensive to them, and
they urge that we should accept their
invoices without challenge. But, in
view of the notorious system of un.
dervaluation practiced, it would be
impossible to comply with such re.
quest. 1t would be unfair to do so,
as it would place the honest importer
at the mercy of his dishonest rival.
The United States can afford to ad-
minister it's customs laws in no other
way than with strict impartiality.-

THIEvlNa SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF
Robins Successfully Defend Nest
Against Marauder.

A pair of robins proved too much
for marauding squirrel in Independ-
ence square yesterday. While on
midair cruise he suddenly stopped as
though something special had attract
ed his attention, and then he came
down the tree in slow, uaconcerned.
manner. The secret was out wher
lie shyly began the ascent of another
oak, in the branches of which a pair
of the redbreasts had built their nest.
His little eyes glistening and his
whole manner that OF a thief, he
moved up the tree trunk, and had al
most reached the little blue eggs in
the nest when the mother bird and
her mate saw him and few down from
their upper perch. They were on Mr..
Squirrel in an instant, and the fur
flew when their beaks got into action.
The retreat Of the squirrel was quick
ly effected. The watchers were
amused. Then a second time the rob-
Der advanced, and was so successful
as to get one of the eggs in his paws
before the birds came to the rescue.
The squirrel was nonplussed, as he
couldn't back down with the egg with
the birds pecking him, and he was
loath to relinquish his hardwon prize.
His hesitation was fatal, though, as
the birds, with a concerted rush, fair
ly showed him out of the nest, and the
robins followed him so quickly and
furiously that the egg was dropped
and smashed on the ground. The
squirrel then gave up his purloining
pedition.-Philadelph Record.

ANYTHING FOR FILTHY LucRE
Writer'S Cynical Justification of Mean
Piece of Work.

A certain gifted writer OF whom 1t
was once said that he wouldn't recog.
nize his wife if he met her on the
street wrote a charming love story
not so long ago, and it was printed in
popular magazine. His friends and
all those of the circle in which the
author moved recognized the story as
an exact and recent transcript from
the life of the writer, involving a very
beautiful young woman, also well
known in the same set. One man,
coming across the author, took him to
task for it.
What in the world did you write
up that affair with Miss Blank for?"
he demanded.
The author looked at him unmoved
and with the same exquisite calm and
clearness that characterized his work,
replied:
81 needed the money"

SORES ON HANDS.

"For a long time / suffered with

three doctors, and derived no benefit
from any of them. One doctor said
he was afraid to touch my hands, so
you must know how bad they were:
another said / never could be cured;

caused by the dipping of my hands
in the water in the dye-house where

the wonderful cures OF the Cuticura
Remedies and procured some Of the

began to peel and were better. The
soreness disappeared, and they are
now smooth and clean, and I am still
