WOULD MODIFY TREATY.
oomlnicans Not Entirely Satisfied
With Convention.

6anto Domingo. April 24.-Some Of
the members Of the committee on for
elgn affairs Of the Dominican congress
propose making the following modifi-
cations Of the new treaty between the
United States and Eanto Domingo:
Article L-That the president OF the
United States appoint receiver for
the customs of Ban Domingo. he to
have only the assistance OF customs
employees Of the Dominican govern
ment.
Art. 2.-That the government OF the
United States extend protection to the
receiver only In case the Dominican
government IL unable to do 30.
Art. 3.-That In view Of the fact that
the receipts from customs dues dur
ing the past two years have exceeded
$4,000. 900 yearly q system Of tariff re-
form be adopted Immediately.
Art. THAT the treaty must have
the approval Of the Dominican con-
gress and Of the United States senate
previous to It's ratification by the high
contracting parties.
The congressional committee is of
the opinion that the Dominican con-
sress IL justified In proposing modifl-
cations Of the treaty In view OF the

1ed by that body.

Mark Twain and Sir Henry.

A new story about Mark Twain Is
proffered to the readers of Harper's
Weekly. Mark was telling stories,
strangely enough. md some young gen
tleman--perlins, let us call him-after
the manner Of the very young, was
trying to emp them, but he always be-
gan with that mock modest preface,
"You must have heard this before, Mr..
Clemens" repeating the phrase at in
tervals through his so called story.
Finally Mark Is said to have said this:
Perkins, that's no way to tell sto-
ry. One night wna ut supper with
Henry Irwin, and he had the same old
trick that you have. Perkins-'Y You
must have heard this BEFORE or You
certainly have heard this He began
story this way, and said politely,
NO, irwin, haven't, though I didn't
know, Of course, what his story was
about. After he had used this miser-
able phrase three times said to him.
Irwin, was born and raised IN Mis-
souri,, where truth is at a discount and
courtesy is above par When q friend
begins q story as you do with 'You
must heard this story" courtesy pre-
wallis, and we say no, no matter what
the truth may be. And a second time
we say no. But when 1t comes, like
now, to the third time, then truth as
serts itself. Yes, Irwin, I've heard
your old chestnut many. many times.
