borrowing for the purpose every sun

In front of them. they themselves be-
ing mounted; these they would get into
the yard with our help and shut the
gate. Several Maoris would then. re-
gardless of danger, climb over the
rails aud go on foot with a Ope and
this they would In a short time man

The rest Of the breaking process Is
much like that practiced in South

A Curious Coincidence.

The story of a queer coincidence Is
told by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. While
travelling upon the continent he visited
certain mountain inn, which was in
winter, he learned, occupied only by
two men. These men, prisoned in a
waste of snow and ice, had for all that
period no communication with the
world below. Here was situation for
a novelist! And the novelist accord
ingly began to let his Imagination play
about the possibilities Of tragedy sur
rounding the two men on their noun
tain height. But the story was never
written, for, happening to come upon
volume Of Guy de Maupassant, which
was new to him, he found therein, I'M
der the title Of "L'Auberge," the very
story he had meant to write.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1907-01-03

Over 80 legislatures will assemble in
January and it is now anticipated that
two-cent fare bills will be offered in
most OF them. The agitation NATURALLY
follows showing of increased railroad
earnings, due for the greater part to
the immense growth of traffic, but in
part also to legislation and agitation
which have been helpful in maintaining
tariff rates. In every state in which
the two cent fare may be proposed the
railway companies will have the labor
ing oar. 1t will not be enough to show
that the states which have the two cent
fare have large traffic. They will have to
prove also that the traffic of the state
proposing the legislation will not justify
the lower rate. And their statistics on
this subject will be carefully scrutinzed
by the editors from whom cash fare will
henceforth be demanded. - Dubuque

1t is reported to be the stand-pat
plan to postpone tariff revision until
1909, after the Inauguration of the next
president. President Roosevelt has
been asked to fall in with this program,
contenting himself with the promise to
put tariff revision in the platform in
1908 and with the appointment of a
commission before the presidential
election to investigate with a view to
the promised revision. An objection to
this program suggests itself in view of
the fate of two conspicuous stand-pat
members of congress in Minnesota
the other in Iowa, both in strong re-
publican districts-and the close call
for the scalp of the supposedly in
vincible Dalzel in Pennsylvania at the
election last November. The objection
that suggests itself is that if the
friends of the tariff postpone revision,
as proposed, and leave it in doubt
whether they intend ever to revise the
people may conclude to give it's pro-
fessed enemies another chance to dc
the revising and to make another
wretched mess of it.-Chicago Chron.
