HAVE FEARS OF
THE SENATORS
Members of House Think Sen
ators Are Acting in Bad
Faith on Rate Bill.
TOO MANY AMENDMENTS
IT is SAID THAT THE PURPOSE
OF SENATE is TO MAKE ACTION
INSTITUTIONAL STATES
MEN JUST LAUGH.
Publishers Press1

Washington, May 10-Now that it
has steam up the Senate is putting in
to the railroad rate bill provisions
which the House dared not consider
because of their radical character.
Here is what the Senate has added to
the bill to date: An anti-pass provis-
ion; an amendment providing that
pipelines shall be common CARRIE RS
and therefore amendable to the pro-
visions Of the interstate commerce
laws; provision divorcing railroads
from the business of mining and mar.
keting coal after May l, 1908; an
amendment compelling railroads to
put in switches for shippers on rea
sonable terms and a provision com
pelling roads to give equally good ser
vice and like accommodations TO all
persons paying the same com 0ensa
ton for interstate transportation.
Representatives Are Suspicious.
Some of the conservative members
of the House are half inclined tc
doubt whether the Senate is acting
in good faith. They fear Senators
may be loading the Hepburn bill
down with amendments for a purpose
that purpose being to make the act
unconstitutional.
Members of the House are already
pointing out that the Senate's amend
ment, declaring that pipelines are
common carriers conflicts with the
amendments prohibiting common car
riers from engaging in any business
other than transportation. T. is as
serted for instance. that the Stand
ard Oil Company, if held to be a com
mon carrier, will be stopped under the
second amendment from owning oil
lands and engaging in the business OF
producing oil. Senators laughingly
say that they are giving the public
what it wants. Undoubtedly all the
Senate amendments will be carefully
scrutinized after the bill goes to con
ference and again, when it comes be
fore the President for his signature.

The Canary Who Was Cross

Siias was cross. They had taken away
! his sugar. He had sung to them so oblig-
| ingly day after day and they had forgotten
/ him. In all his life such thing had never
| happened before, SO he sat hunched UP
on his perch and thought of his woes. In
| the first place they had taken away his
sugar, and In the second place they had
taken away his sugar, and In the third
| place they had taken away his sugar. With
such accumulation of woes Silas thought
he had right to be cross, SO he ruffied up
his feathers and sat disconsolately in his
cage without chirping single chirp till
by and by he got himself so worked UP
over his grievances that he decided that he
didn't like his cage, and he didn't like
his birdseed. and he didn't like singing. and
he didn't like keeping quiet, and he didn't
like anybody or anythingi And when he
had gotten as cross as>this he said to HIM
self: Il am not going to stay here one bit
longer. 1 am going to fly away off some
where where people are nice and kind to
me-"
And he began picking at the door of his
cage It'll he got 1t open. then away he few
out the window into the garden. where the
apple trees were pink with blossoms.
In one Of the apple trees Mrs. Sparrow
sat on her nest. Silss was not used to fly
ing, and, besides, he had always lived in a
cage and knew nothing of the outside
world, so he lighted on the apple branch
close by Mrs. Sparrow to rest and to ask
the way.
Good morning, Mrs Sparrow" he chirp-
ed. Can YOU tell me where l get
the best birdseed? am stranger in this
part of the garden and / don't know my
way about yet"
"Birdseed?" chirped Mrs. Sparrow. why,
this is spring; there wont be any seed of
any kind for months and months"
Silas was alarmed. But what do you
live on?' he asked.
why, worms. of course" answered Mrs.
Sparrow.
mo, reallyt" protested Siias.
why. of course" said Mrs. Sparrow,
when we can find them"
do you have to find them yourselfg
asked Silas, more and more distressed.
Don't they bring them to your
Bring them to as? Why, where have
you been brought up? OF course not We
have to get up very early in the morning
and hop about in the dewy grass till we
find a worm Then we have him for break
fast"
Silas shuddered How horrid," he
thought, but he was too polite to say so.
Where do you liver he asked.
why, here, OF course" said Mrs. Spar
row crisply, for she Was beginning to think
Gilas was rather stupid and tiresome.

James announced visitor. She was a
notwithstanding woman and 1t was EVIL
dent something troubled her. Wasting no
words In stating the object OF her visit,
she asked at once:
Are you the mother OF the boy who sold
my son little bantam roosterT
Visions of Pete at once confronted Mrs.
Velton, who was obliged to admit that her
son had recently parted with pet rooster.
but, of course, she could not say 1t was
the one to which the questioner referred.
well, I guess 1t is,' replied the visitor.
Il doubt IL there Is another like him. He
has made mischief ever since he came to
US. First he began by fighting our own
ROSTERS; them not content with killing
some and driving the rest away, ne must
peoples chickens. It's made no end of
trouble for me-"
Mrs Veltcn expressed regret with genuine
feeling. for her sympathy went out to the
woman In fall measure. But the mind of
the visitor was only partly eased of It's
burden, and she proceeded to forge a last
link in the chain of damaging evidence
Tightening around the object of her dis
like.
They call him Pete and a more vicious
little devil was never Matched. All he
cares about is fighting; never misses an
opportunity. Ii the chance don't happen
to come to him he'll go and hunt it up, and
he generally finds It,"
A knowledge OF Petes tendencies pre-
pared Mrs. yelton to believe all that was
said If he had been accused OF trying to
engage some one in mortal combat il
would have caused her no surprise. But
the woman went on:
when my son brought him home said
the little thing must be shut up in coop
by himself He was so tame, and small,
and harmless looking, l was afraid the big
ROSTERS would hurt him." And her smile
was grim and full of meaning. what
ought to have done was to shut up the
other ROSTERS"
Mrs. Velton laughed. It was impossible
to resist 1t; and the woman Joined in,
though her laugh was hard and mirthless,
tude.
Having laid bare the full extent of Sir
Peters depravity, she closed the interview
with a proposition that was earnest but
unattractive to Mrs. Velton. 81 don't want
the so cents my boy paid for hIm-you keep
that-only take back the rooster and rid me
of him." So back he came

him. but no Beauchamp appeared. The
desolate little pot OF bread and milk stood
all day untouched Ia the middle Of the
gravel path and grew hard and dry. The
little new squirrel, who had played SO
prsttily about the garden. had vanished
too.
He has run away with heri. sobbed the
little girl. And I loved him sol I got
him the best nuts TIL / have almost no
money left. And once I nearly told q
dreadful story, all for him. brought him
roses, because he liked to eat the petals:
they were two q penny sometimes, and
everybody said what waste. She has known
him only Ave days and has stolen him
away from me- Still I love him more than
ever she can do
But Beauchamp was far away. In the
heart of the greenwood he frfsked all day,
playing with his dainty bride, happy with
her in his freedom. When the little birds
began to go to bed they. too, found a messy
hole, high up in a sheltering tree. And he
never thought Of the embroidered blankets
that he had left behind nor Of the empty
cage. nor yet of the little empty heart.
