Mr.. Spooner interpreted this expression to
mean that IF the Supreme Court did not square

but that If its opinions did square with those

He asked Mr. Tillman where he obtained his
knowledge Of law, and the latter replied, with
a comprehensive wave of the right hand. that
he had imbibed It with his mothers milk
Mr.. SpoOner paid high tribute to the COM
mon sense OF the South Carolina Senator, but
added that that Senator was likely by innuendo
and otherwise to impugn the good faith OF
others. He ought not, he said, to assume that
the discussion Of this subject by lawyers is a
mere legal refinement, but he should be glad to
have the advice and assistance Of those who
have made a study Of the law.
The Senator does me a great wrong" said
Mr.. Tillman, when he imagines that 1 assume to
be better than others" and Mr., Spooner replied
that he knew that in his sober moments the Sen
ator from South Carolina made no such assump
ton.

Mr.. Tillman.
EULoGY OF MR. KNOX
Mr. Spooner referred to Mr. TiIIman's recent
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Mr TILL
man replied that he had seen so many newspaper
references to Mr.. Knox as such attorney that he
had taken 1t for granted it was the case.
Mr. SpOoner declared this charge was a speci-
men Of the wiCkedness and folly with which this
whirlwind Of abuse charged. and he de-
clared that Mr.. Knox had done more in his term
as Attorney General in the interest Of the people
by the enforcement Of the Antitrust law and
by other litigation than had been done in the
previous thirty years.
Mr. Tillman, after several attempted inter
ruptions exclaimed:
Don't let us talk any more about the Senator
from Pennsylvania; let us get back to the corn
field law"
Complying with this request Mr.. Spooner
undertook to take up the thread of his contro-
versy with Mr.. Rayner, and, beginning, he said:
Now, the Senator from Maryland is a great
lawyer
Mr. Tilman broke in with the exclamation
And yet you two great lawyers are standing
here and pulling wool over technicalities."
Mr.. SpoOner replied that when the cOnstitu-
uonal lawyers could not agree It was time for
the cornfeld lawyers to keep out, and after a
further discussion with Mr.. Rayner Of the merits
Of the proposition to prohibit the suspension
powers Of the courts he ceased speaking.

HINFMON MAKES STRONG PLEA.
Conyinces Committee That BruAdIdgo
 Donation B;N is Worthy Of Passage.

Washington, D. C., April -6 - Prof. J. H. Eiaemon, supe'in- tendent of public instructor of Arkansas, appeared before the house committee on public lands Tuesday and presented unans- werable reasons why congress should pass the Brundidge bill for the government to donate to the state the lands of section thirty six for free school purposes. So conviucingly did Prof. Hinemon argue the question that at the conclusion of his address he had converted every member of the committee save Chairman Lacey of Iowa.
 Mr. Smith of California was so impressed that he lroposed that the committee submit re- port recommending the adoption of the bill, Chairman Lacey alone objected on the ground that he desired to be head n opposition to the proposed dona- ton of sections thir5y-siX to the state of Arkansas. In his ad- dress before the commit ee Prof. Hinemon showed what splendid progress had been made in the development of the free schools of Arkansas, and said that with the funds accru;ng from the sale of the lands of section tl1irty-siN the state could accomplish still greater results in the cause of free education. He referred to the fact that the state had de- rived very little aid from the donation of the lands of section sixteen because the sales took place during the turmoil of re- construction and the funds thus realized were dissipated,

Bows Suicide Discredited.

Melville, April 26. The theory that Claude Fielden, 9 years old, son of Lee Fielden, near Bruno, committed suicide last week is discountenanced by many who know the circumstances. The boy was found dead in the yard with a target rife across his body. The coroner's jury de- cided that he came to his death by his own hand, but did not say whether 1t was suicide or an accident. The first supposition was that the boy had purposely killed himself rather than go to jail for setting the woods afire. It was said that his fatEer had pictured to him such punishment if he caused the woods to burn.
 Another version is that the boy, Claude, and an older broth CT had treed a squirrel. The younger lad was sent to the house for the rife and 1t is be- lieved that he accidentally shot himself with the tricky weapon.

Wants Harding to Return.

Washington, D. C., April 26, 1906-There is a well founded report in Washington and New York that President Gould of the Missouri Pacific is trying to get Russell Harding to resume his old official connection with that great system, and 1t IS believed that Mr. Harding will accept Mir. Gould's overtures. Before he became president of the Cnacin- nati, Hamilton and Dayton and subsidiary lines two years ago, Mir. Harding was vice-president and general manager of the Missouri Pacific with headquar- ters in St. Louis. About year ago he resigned the presidency of the C. H. & D. to become chairman of the board of direct DTS of the Erie, which position he holds q t present.

Sitting Bull and the Telephone.
From the Boston Herald.


c. J. H. Woodbury., the engineering ex-
pert of the telephone company, told the
boot and shoe men the other night the
true version of the Sitting Bull and tele-
phone story. Sitting Bull had been cap
tured by the United States troops and was
held in close confinement So also was an
other obstereperous Indian. held in confine-
ment at a post about 100 miles away. The
officer in charge of Sitting Bull had been
chasing the Indians for two months, and
was wondering what he would do with the
captive. In an inspired moment he de-
cided to arrange an interview between the
two Indians over the telephone. Afte.
the necessary ringing up Sitting Bull was
asked If he cared to talk into the ma
chine. He talked into it for several min
utes and did a heap of listening also.
He put down the instrument finally, and
for hours was even more gloomy than
usual, at last beginning to talk to himself
something very rare for the Indian. Asked
If he was dissatisfied with his accommoda-
lions or if there was anything they could
do for him. he broke forth at last:
mo. I'm finished. It's all right when
the white mans plaything talks the white
mans language; but when it learns to talk
the red mans tongue it's time to STOP
1t is believed in the west where the incl
dent is fairly well known, that this talk
over the telephone between the two Indians
had a considerable influence in Shortening
the Indian wars.

History of "Foreign Devil"
nm the East Of Asia Magazine.

NSASN
NOW we are in a position to answer q
question at the outset of the paper as
TO the origin of the term translated for
eign devil" 1t is literally ocean demon :"
a forcible Chinese term for pirate. The
usual term sea robber'' became ocean
demon after this Chinese experience of
unscrupulQus foreign pirates who became
marauders non shore as we'll. From the
Chinese standpoint. was not the term
justified in those days? And not only did
the Portuguese nation furnish one or two
unworthy specimens Of Europeans, but SO
ala Holiand' and SO did England, in the
The China seas, in addition to their own
bands Of native pirates, became infested in
those early, years with far more daring
piratical spirits from these three nations
And, at first confined to the coast, the
term ocean demon" or pirate gradually
spread into the Interior being propagated
which doubtless magnifed the actual do
1ngs OF the law!ess Europeans into deeds
Of fiendish atrocity. Then after a genera
ton or SO the term foreign demon was
dren. much as the name Bonaparte was
for while in England: IF you don't
stop that noise, n tell Boney to come
fiends" was found to afford potent soda
tive for blatant juveniles, and so it has
continued In use since the sixteenth CEN
fury until the present generation, an In
teresting if unpleasant instance Of Chinese
conservatism
We suggested at the start that it is
dying down in many places. Having been
so long.lived in the past. 1t is dying hard.
And, as all will admit, 1t has been the
missionary foreigners. or the more genial
men and women of that class, who have
been the chief agents in changing it for
something better. Not that the foreign
babies have not helped When in the six
ties DR.. Porter Smith of Hankow walked
in the Chinese streets with his little child
on his shoulder the Chinese exclaimed:
He cannot be foreign devil. See! he Is
smiling at his little child"

Cure for Honk-Honk Asthma.

Often enough the slight obstruction which

at the same time vigorously working the
bulb. At other times it will be necessary
to remove the tube and pick from beneath
the tongue OF the reed some little particle
of dirt which has wedged there. In case
the tongue falls to stand out from the
opening of the reed a pin should be slipped
under it crosswise and the end bent down
with pliers. This treatment unless carried
too far will generally produce the desired
result.

Sea Birds Warn of Storm.
From the Memphis Commercial.

-
Sea birds soaring in from Mobile bay
sounded the first note of alarm. and in
true Paul Revere style warned the people
of the stricken city of the approach of
the coast storm that later brought such
havoc to life and property. Through some
inexplainable atmospheric condition these
sea birds have advance knowledge of COM
ing storms, and they invariably seek the
shelter of the inland country.
AS early as Sunday night the people of
Mobile had given recognition to the first
flights of Mother Careys chickens" a
rather timorous sea bird, which were COM
ing in droves from the coast and passing
Mobile in their early haste for shelter.
Monday morning the more courageous sea
gulls began to follow in the paths of the
timid Mother Carey's chickens" and later
in the day, whole flecks Of pelicans brought
up the rear of the procession that was
headed to safety.
The shrill notes of these frightened birds
could be plainly heard above the din and
noise of the busy city, and in the outskirts
their presence had been widely commented
upon and accepted as a sure forerunner OF
the disaster that followed so soon after.
The people had no further knowledge of the
coming storm than that supplied by these
aquatic birds. but that was assurance
enough to satisfy all that a storm was in
vading the coast section and that it might
take its course up the bays

Cost of Cotton Picking.

From the Charlotte Chronicle.
1t requires something like 100000 cot
ton pickers, each picking 100 pounds of
seed cotton an average for each picker and
working 100 days, to pick 10000 OOO-bale
crop. OF course, some pick more than 100
pounds of seed cotton and some less There
are days when, on account Of rain, no cot
ton can be picked. The average OF 100
pounds a day for 100 days is not far wrong
as an estimate of the picker's work.
At 60 cents hundredweight the cost Of
picking a bale of cotton is 50. At 10 cents
a hundredweight the cost IS S11.23 bale.
Therefore the cost of picking the entire
crop will range somewhere between $780,
600 600 and 112,5O0,C00.
