Before 1Isrory Began.

With reference TO the unconscious
humor frequently displayed by appli.
cants for admission TO college in their
examination papers, DR.. Nicholas Muir.
ray Butler, president of Columb mbia
says that friend of his, principal Of
preparatory school in New Jersey,
once submitted list of questions in
history to his pupils, one of these
questions being:
why does the real history of the
United States begin with the Revolu-
tion?"
To this would-be colIegian replied
as follows:
Because up to that time 1t was all

hood Measures.
Washington.-Pres Roosevelt is
not trying to dictate to Congress what
1t shall do or not do regarding rail-
road rate legislation or any other
problem Of legislation. He has not de-
livered to the Senate or to the House
any sort of an "ultimatum" on subjects
of legislation, and has not held over
the heads Of Congress the threat of
an extraordinary session" IL he does
not obtain the legislation for which he
is hoping. This statement is made by
authority, also, that suggestions OF
compromise of any sort on rate legis-
lation which do not embody the sub
stance of the Presidents message on
the subject have not appealed to the
President. 1t can also be said that he
doubtless would refuse to accept
compromise which would affect any
essential feature of the proposed legis-
lation. What is known as the Hep
burn bill, now under discussion by the
House, embodies substantially the
Presidents views, as set forth in his
last annual message. In the early days
OF the present session he thought the
measure proposed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission was the most
practicable offered, but after mature
consideration it seemed to him that
the Hepburn bill was the better.
Members of the Senate committee on
interstate commerce have assured the
President that either the Hepburn bill
or measure resembling 1t in essential
features will be reported to the Sen
ate. The report of the Senate commit
h,rt wi
represent the views of a majority of
the members. The report will be sup
ported, it is expected, by Senators
Cullom, Dolliver and Clapp, and pos
sibly by other Republicans, and by the
Democratic members of the commit
tee. 1t can be stated that while the
President desires that such rate legis-
lation shall be established as he has
recommended, he is firm in his atti-
tude that the railroads as well as the
shippers shall be dealt with justly He
wants Nothing in the law that would
affect unfairly the rights or the prop
erty of the railroads.
He is confident that legislation to
be framed substantially on the lines
of the Hepburn measure will prove
fair alike to the railroads and to the
people. He is not trying to dictate
ihultcio VI ueldil, anu, Ol COURSE, Will
preserve an open mind as to proposed
amendments which do not affect the
material and substantial features of
the bill
The President is interested in both
.fthe Philippine tariff and the statehood
measure. Concessions as to either
one of them have not. it is stated, been
given serious consideration. At the
White House it is understood that an
effort is to be made in the Senate first
to eliminate Arizona and New Mexico
for consideration as a joint state, and
If that should fail, secondly to incor-
porate in the statehood provision for
the reference of the question of joint
statehood to the voters of the two ter
ritories. 1t is too early yet to say
with any degree of accuracy what the
result Of the latter proposition may be.

Honolulu.-The federal government
is believed to be investigating sites
here suitable for garrisoning large
bodies of troops, either for the purpose
of acclimating them to camp life in the
tropics, or to be nearer the Orient in
anticipation of trouble with China.
Reports, which cannot be verified
here, say that $4,000 or 10000 men
nay be garrisoned here II an available

THE MAN AT THE WINDOW.
Mrs. Chaudron, her son and Joe
were already at breakfast when Anita.
In a soft lavender gown and a bit OF
lace at her throat entered the dining

touched Joe ON the shoulder as she
passed.
when she looked at Chaudron he
shook his head, answering her un-
spoken question: Vance came home
half an hour ago" he said; mo,
there's no news-yet."
How is Alice resting?" Mrs. Chau-

BUTTER PRICES.
Some Reasons Why They Are Main

Much speculation Is INDUCED in
about the fact that with an the sup
posed great Increase in creamerieB
the prices OF butter stul hold up.
Those who speculate forget two or
three things. says Hoard's Dalryman
ca That the COW Is the source OF
the butter supply. not the creamery.
90 That the more dense the cow
population becomes Ia any section. the
less proportion Of hcifer calves are
raised.
CD That the increase In milk con.
sumption has bocen 30 great that r.
very large share OF the COWS 81 the
country have been diverted from but.
tcrmaking to that business
tD That the increase OF COWS iu
this country Is only about i've per
cent yearly. SO o. takes about 20
years TO double the COW population
t5l That the progress of dairy ideas
among farmers IS teaching them 10
weed out the uumruGmblc COWS. thus
reducing very %perccpubly the milk
supply for unprohtabie buttermaking
tG That the pereentage OF Increase
Of population IS much greater than The
percentage OF Increase IA COWS while
the consumption OF milk aud butter
per capita has been steadily GA the
Increase An these things tend 20
strengthen the dairy business ia Az

grade.
