aspires to his old JOB and might be
found in the race again. Mac is still
in the service of the government, but
it is said his new duties are not to his

not of the best. Congressman Ham
mond, who succeeded him, is being
eroomed for the democratic govern

that all would be clear sailing for

4 Story Of Samuel Warren and Mat

Sam Warren, the author Of "Ten

ject Of many anecdotes, none OF them
better than one which first heard re-
lated about him by his friend, Matthew
Davenport Hill.
Looking in one day at Warren's
chambers, Hill noticed that he seemed
a little troubled. 1T u.s." said the law

these words the visitor prepared to
leave the room.
At first profusely grateful, Warren
presently seemed a little perplexed and
said: by the bye, after all, I won't
trouble you to say anything about me
to the chancellor. Between ourselves.
I have not been invited"
"Well." rejoined Hill, make yourself

matter, neither have I."-Pall Mall Ga

that country affords for obtaining

Whole meals can be purchased outside,

The Last Old Soldier.

Say boys, have you heard what the
newspapers say:
One hundred and fifty soldiers day
Footsore and weary have dropped
out at last,
Back on the road where the column
has passed?
Every week-seven days-keep the
number in mind,
Another full regiment tagging be-
hind;
We bid them "good bye" with teal
and song,
And the column keeps steadily
marching along.
Every three weeks, another brigade
Back in the quiet old churchyard is
laid;
One look at the spot where they
peacefully sleep,
And each to his place in the column
must keep.
Sixty days, a division forever at
rest,
No pickets thrown out, no foe will
modest;
And let 1t be morning, at noon or at
night,
The column moves on and is soon
out Of sight.
Every six months, full army corps
Goes into camp on the furthermore
shore.
No break in the column, the evening
is damp,
But never mind, boys, we'll soon be
camp.
Soon there will be but an invalid's
corps,
OF an army that numbered two mil
lions or more;
A division, a brigade, then a regi-
ment small,
Too feeble to note when a comrade
shall tall.
At last but a company, then pla-
toon,
A few struggles left, then soon; Oh,
how soon,
They will read this small item: the
news came today,
The last old soldier has just passed
away. Tx.

10 Wonderful and Far Reaching f.
fsets Upon the World.
1.-THE effects of gravitation are % IA
miliar as to demand only the briefest
mention, yet most Of us perhaps sci
dom stop to consider how far reaching
these effects are" says DE- Henry
Smith Williams. "But for gravitation
the winds would not blow, the waters
would not descend. and the mountain
tops would not crumble into the val
legs. Each particle Of pulverized rock
would remain where it. was formed,
and there would be no such thing a. a
mixed sOtl.e,n> ~
"But as matters are actually arrang
ed gravitation is perpetuahy active
and every particle Of matter is being
eternally tugged at and urged to get
nearer to the earth's center. So no
sooner does a fragment Of rock at a
mountain crest become loosened than
gravitation hurls it crashing down into
the valley, shattering it into frag-
ments perhaps or at the least grinding
of some portions Of its surface as
we'll as of the surface Of the rocks
against which it is dashed.
by such means Nd with the fur
ther aid Of its handmaidens, wind and
water, gravitation works its unceasins
purpose of leveling the surface of the
earth. In few brief geological mo-
ments it rounds the shoulders of the
haughtiest mountain, and, given time
enough it will bring every particle OF
rock back to the sea bed, whence it
originally sprang. Short of that, as a
transition stage, it is forever mixing
the different soil constituents on the
one hand and sorting them out again
ON the other."-Appleton's.

Harper's Weekly espoused the
caus, of Johnsonism last week to the
extent of a we'll executed half-tone
picture and column or so OF "boom"
reading, but the effort has not been
kindly received by the kitchen cabi'
net. The artist responsible for the
effusion either confined his visit to
Frank Day or forgot to see "Bil'y"
Williams, and the result is decoc-
ton that would make press agent
of the old days turn over in bis grave

sad, but convincing proof,s by his
johnson article. of the extent OF his
misinformation on politics.

power to increase the passenger traffic,

FINE SPIDER THREADS.
Cultivated Especially For the Use Of
Astronomers.

Astronomers.
The cultivation of certain species of
spiders solely for the fine threads
which they weave for scientific uses
has an important bearing upon astron'
omy. a,<
No substitute for the spiders thread
has yet been found for bisecting the
screw of the micrometer used for de-
termining the positions and motions of
the stars. Not only because Of the re-
markable fneness of the threads are
they valuable. but because of their
durable qualities.
The threads of certain spiders raised
for astronomical purposes withstand
changes in temperatures, so that often
in measuring sun spots they are unin-
Jured when the heat is so great that
the lenses of the micrometer eyepiece
are cracked. ..y
These spider lines are only one-fifth
to one-seventh Of thousandth Of an
inch in diameter, compared with which
the threads of the silkworm are large
and clumsy. ."7#.@
Each line is made up of several thou
sands of microscopic streams Of fluid
Under the most powerful magnifytns
glass they appear true and round.
The work of placing these lines In
the micrometer requires the delicate
touch Of experts. who operate with the
aid Of microscopes which magnify the
line a thousand times. The lines are
placed parallel with each other and
two one-thousandths Of an inch apart.

Tariff Revision

The conference between President
Roosevelt, Senator Hopkins, and Mr.
Miles of the Wisconsin Tariff Revi'
sion league merely confirms the gen.
eral understanding that there will be
no move in the direction Of tariff re-
vision prior to the presidential elec-
ton. 1t may be taken also as An ad-
mission that revision must come soon
after the election.
It cannot be delayed after 1909.
The country is clearly coming to the
opinion that the tariff, now fifteen
years old and sadly out of touch in
many particulars with modern condi-
tons, must be amended-or revised
if that be better sounding word. 1t
is notorious fact that there are GER
tain schedules which give the inter-
ests affected by them excessive pro-
lection. Privately the benefcaries
admit it. The theory is that the pro-
lection given shall be merely equal to
the difference between the cost Of pro-
duction abroad and at home. There
are duties which are in excess OF the
total wage cost of production in this
country. The government gets nc
revenue and the domestic producer is
enabled to exact excessive prices fol
his goods.
It makes no difference wether these
unjust and unreasonable duties have
place in the iron and steel, the glass
or the wool and woolens schedules
They should be revised down to le'
Ultimate proportions wether the bene
ficaries live in the east or west. Ger
tain schedules which were not far out

them have become oppressive t.
American consumers. The people
are beginning to realize it and woulc
realize it more keenly if this were no.
an era OF general prosperity.
For obvious reasons it is useless t.
aRitate for tariff revision before tn
