Her first leseon, she resolved, should combine the love of our dumb friends with suggestion for the true observing of things, She began with an engaging but earnest smile
 "Now, children, l want you to tell me what kind of Clothes the kitty wearsr'
 Dead silence.
 "Why, children, don't you know what kind of clothes the kitty wears?'

 Must Also Amend Rail- way RateS.

Indianapolis. Ind. Dec, 26.--At the Biennial Republican Love feast to-day United States Senator Albert J. Bever- idge made the principal address out lining his views as to what should be the future action of the party and reiterating his former statement that Indiana will vtand solid In the next National Convention of the party for the nomination for Vice-President Charles w. Fairbanks.
 $ Senator Beveridge says: After we elect our President we will revise our tariff. Any man in any party who proposes tariff revision on the eve of . national election Is either too unin- formed or too fnsincere to be trusted. Any tariff revision unsettles somewhat the legitimate business of tbe country, but tariff revision before a Presiden- tial election would prolong that dis- turbance for ruinous months. Mean while tariM commission should gath CT the fa@s and have them ready for Congress.
 we must amend the railroad rate law at points where 1t is defective. We must make modern the sherman law. which now shackles honest enterprises because 1t does not fit present condi- tions. We must prevent over-capitali- zation and the swindling for which 1t furDishes opportunity and excuse. We must drive the e/canaI to completion and improve the nations waterways that the people may have the transporta- ton designed by nature. e
 And we must and will end the in- fanny and shame of child labor in this Those who say that it is un- constitutional for the nation to stop this national evil feny the authority of the Supreme Court and the validity of dozen similar laws already on the statute books. We Republicans regard the constitution as Marshall regarded 1.-the chart of progress. not the shield of wrong"
