Farmers May Make Alcohol.

Washington, d. c., Dec. Ex-senator
Hansbrough today introduced an
amendment to the free alcohol law, au-
thorizing the commissioner of interna-
tional revenue to make a special ar
rangement for denaturing alcohol dis
titled by persons in such small quanti-
ties as not to justify the additional eX-
penses of an Individual warehouse for
each distiller, as required by law. II
is the opinion of Hansbrough that IT
adopted the amendment will admit OF
the installation by individuals or
groups of farmers of agricultural and
produce stills, now in successful use In
Germany; that much official red tape,
which he says is now necessary, Will be
done away with without danger of inn
position or fraud, and at the same time
give the farmers of the country ad-
vantages with respect to the manufac-
ture of alcohol to be denaturized for
light, heat and power purposes, which
it was originally proposed they would
have.

Shippers Partially to Blame.

Washington, Dec. lS.--lnterstate
Commerce Commissioner Clark ap-
peared before the house committee on
public lands today in support of the
presidents suggestion that the govern
ment cease to sell coal lands and lease
them hereafter to the mining compan' :
les He reiterated his charges that
great corporations in league with the
railroads have .cornered" the coal
lands and forced prices up to an un-
reasonably high point. When ques-
toned by anembers of the committee
a. to the present difficulty in getting
cars, Clark replied that in his opinion
shippers are as much to blame as the
carriers for the present car shortage.
He said a thousand cars are delayed
unnecessarily in the large centers by
the failure of shippers to unload them
promptly. In Clark's opinion the rail-
ways are buying cars and locomotives
as rapidly as they can get them.

across the square was a rival house
owned by one Garcia, where a French
Juggler was advertised.

theater to prepare for his opening per-

ton exclaimed that they were DESC
lated-that all monsieur's stage proper
ties had been stolen.
What would monsieur do? The po-
lice had already been notified, but
monsieur knew the police-how slow
they were. Had monsieur other para
phernalia with which he could per-
form his act?"
Then came the manager and repeat
ed the information. "It was quite in

ever happened in his house-neVer. 1t
was beyond doubt that villain Garcia
who had done this. Would monsieur
cancel his act?"
What was 1 to do?" asks Chinko
What is the juggler without his tools,
the objects with which he HAS pre-
pared his program, the novelties which
make his act different from others

WAS the turn Cancelled? BY no
means. From the stage props we Sc
lected a number of odds and ends
among other things a broom, a shovel

dished up the crowning success of the
