TARIFF PROBLEM
 WILL BE SOLVED
BARON VoN DEM8UScHE-HAD- DENHAUSEN THINKS UNITED STATES AND GERMANY WILL SETTLE DIFFERENCES.

Washington. January 2S-Baron von sche-Haddenhausen, the counsellor of the German embassy. in an interview with Post reporter today expressed the opinion that the tariff problem between Germany and the United States would eventually be solved. The Baron desired It understood he was giving his personal views, and was not speaking officially. He said Germany and Germans believe that although the American Congress will always be antagonistic to a reciprocity treaty, as past Congressional legislation seems to show, it will find way out of the present difficulty. It must be re- membered that the American Congress alone is not sloW-if may use that word to act. but the Reichstag and the Ger man Senate both have their way of go- ing about things.
 Germany views the question of tariff with sentiment purely commercial what the Americans would call business is business
 Asked what would be done In case the American Congress fails to take action by the first of March, when the present arrangement between Germany and the United States terminates, Baron Hadden- haussen said:
 "Ife German maximum tariff will go into effect at once. Before one single penny is taken of the authority of both the German house and senate Is required. They demand only equality; a guarantee that German products exported to Amer ica will receive the same consideration as American exports to Germany"

But He Swung His Lantern.
Success Magazine.

From Success Magazine.
 Representative John Sharp Williams tells a tale of the days when he was counsel for a railway line in one of the southern states.
 It appears that at one point on It's line the company had stationed an old negro watchman, whose duties consisted in warning travellers down a nigh way cross- ing the tracks when a train approached One night wagon belonging to a farmer was struck. resulting in a bad accident. The company was, of course, sued for damages, and at the trial the old darkey was the principal witness for his em- ployers. He replied to 7the questions put to him In clear. direct fashion. Among these questions was one as to whether he was sure that he had swung his lan- tern across the road when he perceived the train approach. The negro replied:
 "I shorely did. sah.'
 The trial resulted in a verdict for the company, and MT. Williams. as counsel. took early occasion to compliment the aged negro on his excellent testimony. To which the latter replied
 "Thankee. Marse John. but l was sore ly skeered when dat lawyer man begin to ask me about de lantern. I was afear- ed for a minute dat he was goin' to ask me if 1t was lit or not. De oil done give out some time befo' de accident

ESCAPED THE RAvEN.'
Story of Opie Reads Experience in
 Little Arkansas Town.

Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 The most interesting character In Wash ington at this hour is Opie Read who Is studying the phrase of congressional life with a glass-I mean a magnifying glass; because the Tennessean hasn't taken any thing stronger than water for three years. He has an order for a series of articles that will tell the unvarnished truth about Washington life.
 MT Read stands about six feet two inches in his Nashville brogans. He is Goliath in frame having shoulders like heavy weight champion. He wears his face" clean of beard and his hair is turn ing gray. He might be mistaken for Methodist bishop until he begins to make a few remarks. He Is one of the best story tellers this country contains and his speciality is negro dialect. The late Jimmy Cowardn of Richmond was the only man of his generation that could equal him. Hopiinson Smith is not to be mentioned in the same day with Opie Read.
 In the ''old days,' when Read knew mountain dew from Louisville whisky, he arrived in a small town in Arkansas one afternoon to lecture there that night. As he was the only traveller to leave the train very mild hammered chap ap- preached and asked if he was the lec- turer.
 Yes, that's exactly who I am," replied Ople, throwing out his chest. The coun- tryman didn't appear to be impressed, but said:
 T s'pose yer goin ter give us The Raven'?'
 q didn't write The Raven" Read re- torted:. my lecture is wholly original you never heard anything like It.
 Yes, 1 know; that's wot they all say; but they recite The Raven jest the same.'
 "Who are you?"
 I'm the editor of the newspaper here"
 70, that's it? What is its name?"
 "The Phonogorm." was the prompt re- ply
 ''The what?"
 ''Phono-gorm."
 What does 1t mean?"
 Don't know: 1 bought the office from a man who gave the sheet its name.'
 What did he say the word meant?"
 Didn't say. But, look here. mister, if yer not gon' to recite The Raven,' I'd like to mention that hev somethin' here that'll interest you, mebby." And he produced a large black flask from his side pocket Opie concludes something like this:
 Tt looked good it smelled good, it tasted good, and the people of that town were spared the infiction of that lecture. After they had sat in the church like Quaker meeting for an hour they got their money back at the door and grate- fully sought their homes. They had es- capped The Raven for once!"

Good Music Is a Character Builder. orison Swett Marden in Success Nigga

zine.
 Good music Is powerful tsnic to many people, especially those suffering from melancholia. It lifts them out of their solemn moods, dispels gloom and despond- ency, kills discouraged feelings, and gives new hope, new life and new vigor. It seems to put great many people into proper tune. It gives them the keynote of truth and beauty, strikes the chords of harmony, dispels discord from the life scatters clouds, and brings sunshine.
 All good music is character builder, because it's constant suggestion of har- mony, order and beauty puts the mind into a normal attitude. Music clears the cobwebs out of many minds. so that they can think better. set better and live bet ter Some writers are dependent upon music for their inspiration and their moods. Somehow it brings the muse to them. It adds briliancy to the brain and facility to the pen, which they can not seem to get in any other way.
 Good music seems to give us a touch of the divine, and to put us in contact with divinity It drives out evil thoughts. making us ashamed of them. It lifts us above petty annoyances and little wor-, ries of life. and gives us a glimpse of the ideal which the actual is constantly obscuring.
