Yes; it didn't seem worth while to
double the risk. did 1t rather clums-

was no harm done. and the pistol well
come efIectually broke the ice in what
might otherwise have been a rather
difficult interview. We had il out in
an upper room, with the gas turned
low and the window curtains drawn.
To cut a long story short, | finally
succeeded in making him understand
what he was in for: that his confed-
crates had used him and thrown him
aside. Then | went out and brought
him some supper"
OrIusby smote softly upon the edge
of the table with an extended fore
finger.
"win he testify?" he asked.
Kents rejoinder was definite.
He has put himself entirely in my
hands. He is a ruined man, polite
ally and socially. and he is desperate.
While | couldn't make him give me
any Of the details in the Trans-West-
ern affair, he made a clean breast of
the oil field deal. and have his state

The Luna Exercises

The exercises of the Junior Literary
Society took place in the College Chap
ell Tuesday evening. The exercises
consisted Of addresses, songs and recita-
tions, and t. declamatory contest.
Each number was well executed, the
little men without exception covering
themselves with glory. There was
neither halt nor failure anywhere.
Those participating in the declam-
atory contest we're: Lee Shurbet, Joe
D. Moss, John Hunter. Bremen Knapp,
George Jackson and Emmett Halter.
DIR. M. M. Moss had offered a medal
for the best declaimer, and when the
Judges selected to make the decision
came to pass upon the merits of the
speakers they found themselves up
against a very perplexing proposition,
so skillfully and so faultlessly did each
of the boys declaim his piece. Finally
however, it was agreed that Master
John Hunter was entitled to the medal,
with Joe Moss and George jackson
close seconds.
The medal was presented in a very
graceful speech by Hoo c b. Moore

One day the famous duelist Plerrot

pirate for birds of our species, let us
fight in the trees" AS If 1t were not a
sufficiently ridiculous thing that one
man should challenge another because
his name was Sparrow and the others

from the trees, the seconds standing

point the marquis began to chlrp tri-
umphantly, initiating the song Of
blackbird This was fresh insult, to
be atoned for In only one way, and
DIsaac waited for his wound to re-
cover to challenge Salnte-AIarle for the
chlrp. This time the duel was fought
with swords, and Sainte-Marie was
badly wounded. The sparrow had
avenged himself ON the blackbird.

The Russian Psychologist Pavlav
clearly demonstrated, In his researches
on digestion, that the ingestion OF sub
stances with a purely nutrient value
does not sufficiently satisfy the de-
mands Of the body. Taste and appetite
must also be taken into consideration.
These are satisfied only by the add
ton to the food OF spices and salt, aud
il Is largely due TO the influence OF
these condiments that the proper
amount Of gastric juice Is liberated by
the mucous membrane Of the stomach.
The action upon the stomach OF reflex
stimuli Is shown by the favorable ef-
feet on the Aow OF the gastric secre-
tons made by mental impressions In
duced by the mere sight and odor OF a
well prepared dish.
In this manner Epplen leads up TO
the broad claim that the proper prep
aration Of all food. as demanded by
the essential requirements Of the Gu
llnary art Is not luxury. but physlo-
logical necessity, and 10 develop and
disseminate this knowledge ls an act
beneficial. to the public welfare.N

evident that a peaceful acquisition OF
that country may be the result of Ger

4 writer in the Fortnlghtly Review
estimates that 100000 German emf
grants and their offspring now live In
Brazil and declares that colonization
societies now controlling $500 square
miles of land are working SO openly to
Germanize the country that some of
the Brazilian states limit German I'm
migrants to one for every two settlers

The Germans are a pushing race, and
their enterprises In Brazil may be the
natural result of trade opportunities
A great Berlin bank finances Brazilian
undertakings exclusively Germany
holds a large slice of Brazlls debt, and
the Germans own or control steamship
lines from Europe to Brazil. Germans
are clannish. They follow the fag,"
which for them means the mother

together without external ties. Should

That is true enough. although Presi-

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
a Deadlock Possible, With the DEM
eeratz Determined For Reform.


The senate committee on interstate
commerce has reported the Hepburn
bill, with a string to it, SO that even
the members of the committee are at
liberty TO amend 1t to suit their own
Ideas or the demands of the railroad
corporations. What provisions the bill
will contain when passed by the SEN
ate il difficult to determine at this
time The chief struggle is over the
contention of the senators represent
ing the railroad interest that, when the
Interstate commerce commission has
declared a rate to be unreasonable and
has in lieu thereof established reason
able rate. the new rate shall not go into
effect until passed upon by the courts.
The Hepburn bill provides that the
new rate shall take effect after thirty
days notice aud makes no provision for
an appeal to the courts, but II is claim
ed that the right of appeal frem rate
established by the interstate commerce
commission is inherent, unless prohibit
ed. and does not require to be provided
for In the law.
When the bill has passed the senate
with amendments and goes to the
house for concurrence the real struggle
will come In the conference committee
OF the two houses. II the house of rep
resentatlyes stands fast and refuses to
concur In the senate amendments. or
ut least on the amendment advocated
by the railroad interests, there will be
deadlock and may delay the adjourn
ment of congress even to the time of
the beginning of the next session in
December, but as the hearts Of the Re
sentatiyes are not so hardened against
the railroad corporations as their votes
would indicate there will probably be
some kind of compromise that will
give the railroads the right to delay the
execution Of the law by appeal to the
courts. The tenacity with which the
railroads urge that the right of appeal
shall be provided for would indicate
they have confidence in the federal ju-
dietary being favorable to the railroad
contention or that some obscure clause
in the law would give them loophole
for escape.
The Democratic members of the
house of representatives are united and
determined for the best law possible to
regulate rates, and, unlike the Repub-
leans, their hearts are true to the popu,
lar will.

THE GERMAN COMPROMISE.
For the Present Luz uries Can BE I'm
ported at Lower Rates.


In the temporary compromise with
Germany ON the tariff war, which gives
until June, 1907. to arrange treaty,
unless In the meantime our tariff law
Is revised. American products are to be
allowed to enter that country under
the regular rates. On our part we have
agreed TO allow argols or crude tartar
10 ho iuana..A - go - 20
cent nd valorem, brandies and other
distilled spirits S1.75 per gallon, wines
and vermuth In casks 35 cents gallon
aud In bottles S1.25 per case of one
dozen; paintings in oil, or water colors,
pastels, pen and ink drawings and
statuary Is per cent ad valorem.
Under this Republican scheme of
reciprocity ON a small scale how much
will the ordinary citizen gain by this
compromised who uses Grgols? Who
will be benefited by the reduced rates
on brandyi Who purchases oil paint
ings or statuary? The present tariff
seems invented to tax the poor and let
the rich get their Injuries at reduced
rates.
There can be no relief from the plum
dering of the present tariff from the
Republican party. Every move they
make maintains the burden of the tar
III tax on those least able to bear ii
and reduces the tax on Injuries. The
Democratic plan Of low tax on necessi-
ties and high tax on imported foreign
luxuries is the only proper adjustment.
As it is now the great majority of the
people pay the tariff tax, and the trusts
and combines are protected in adding
to their profits on their products be-
cause the tariff protects them from
competition, and, more exasperating
than that, the trusts sell their products
cheaper to the foreigners than to our
own people
As the last Democratic national plat
form declared, protection is robbery"
plundering the many for the benefit of
the few

School Training For Wage Farmers.


Technical education Is In Its infancy
in this country, and 1t Is well to look
abroad for hints as to Its proper scope
and foundation. In Germany the tech
meal schools are turning out three
times as many graduates as there is
work for. Wages are of course di-
minishing, for the labor supply exceeds
the demand.
American students, being of a prac-
teal turn, will be apt to investigate the
field ahead of them before devoting
years to preparation in calling which
units them for other lines. In this
country education Is means to an end
rather than an end In Itself, and very
few students will seek to enter occupa-
lions that do not bring adequate re-
turns for the time and labor spent in
preparation.

Crimson bushes line the hollows,
Yellow treetops fringe the hills.
The Sky Is full of swallows
With a twitter in their bills.
The sky Is full of swallows.
The air is fun of sun.
And sparkling winter follows
When autumns done.
Ivory pillar. crystal rafter.
Make a palace of the wood.
The world is bllthe with laughter;
She wears an ermine hood.
The world peeps out In laughter
Her hood win melt anon
But. oh. the spring comes after,
When winters gone.
Cleans of bluebirds. flute of thrushes.
Thrill the blossom misted trees:
The apple orchard bushes
Arbutus balms the trees
The apple orchard bushes
The heart is ON the wing,
And flood of summer gushes
From founts of spring.
Sea and summit tempt the rover.
Fairy horns to forest call;
The bees are drunk with clover,
The earths a dancing ball;
The bees are drunk with clover,
The poem of the year
Turns new leaf over.
And autumn's here.

The English folk still spell wagon"
with two "g's" in spite of the efforts
of experts over here to teach them
better, Perhaps they cling to ''wag-
gon" for the same reason that Horace
Greeley did. He said he spelled it
wagon" because he was taught that
way as boy and that the reason he
was taught that way was because wag
ons were larger when he was boy
than they were after he grew up and
spelling reformers got busy.
