GOING HIM ONE BETTER.
Canny Scotch Boy Gets Even With
 aD American Tourist.

An American tourist on visit to Glasgow on emerging from the rail. way station was accosted by a lad with a familiar shout of Carry your bag. sir!' The gentleman handed the boy the bag and requested to he shown through Glasgow. Crossing George Square they came opposite to Sir Walter Scott's monument, and the boy said proudly:
 That is one the largest monu- ments in Scotland"
 Oh said the Yankee, with an air of indifference'-we have the three pen- nv cigars as big as that fin AmeTiea." :" s They got on a tramcar going east, and just as they slIghted at the ter. minus a long. crcular piece of iron on a lorry drawn by twelve horses came up the street. The American. in surprise. asked what that was for The hoy remembering what the yan. kee had said about the cigars. and with a resolve to be even with him. replied:
 -Oh, a new hotel has just been built in the Trouzate, and that is the kitchen poker"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-05-20

The democrats claim that the re-
 publican tariff plunders the people
 to enrich the protected monopolists,
 and the republicans declare the high
 tariff rates foster industry and pro-
 tect labor. The democratic claim substantiated by the fact of the high
 prices that everyone has to pay for trust products and that incomes have
 not generally kept pace with the in creased cost of living. Those facts.
 which many know are true by their own experience. disprove the republi- can contention. But the further fact that intelligent republican editors are admitting that the present high tariff
 schedules are injurious to many in- dustries and have so increased the cost of living that those with limited incomes are suffering instead of ob- taining their share of prosperity adds greater weight to the democratic claim. A late convert to tariff re- vision is the Bath Anvil. a republican paper in good standing in the state of Maine. which in an editorial en- titled The Tariff Injures Maine" de- clares that: Maine without question is suffering a great deal from the high tariff schedules and her in4 fuence in the republican councils ought to be exerted in favor of re- vision. Unless the party grants re- vision this tariff issue Is extremely likely to complete the work of purely state questions and throw Maine into the democratic column" The Anvil further declares that the Maine vote in the electOriaI college and in con- gress. are in greater danger now than they have been since the civil war" As the next congress will be controlled by the standpatters and therefore no tariH revision bill viii be allowed to be considered and the next republican national convention will undoubtedly declare for pro lection. these republicans in Maine and elsewhere who desire tariff re- vision can only secure it by voting ths dsmserstie ticket

WOMEN IN SUPREME COURT.
Twenty-eight Have Been Admitted Mrs Belva Lockwood the Pioneer.

Miss Ida NJ. Movers of this city
 who was admitted to practice before the supreme court yesterday, Is tho twenty-eighth member of the tender sex to attain that distinction.
 The first woman to become mem Der of that bar was Belva A. Lock wood, who was first denied the priyi- lege on the ground there was no au' thority for women to practice before the court She then secured the pas sage of a special law admitting wo- men to the bar on an equal footing with men, and as soon as the bill was signed she appeared and took the GUS tomary oath on March 3, 1879.
 It was not until six years later that Mrs Lockwood lost her monopoly of rights, and since then applicants have appeared every year or so. They are scattered all the way from Massachu- setts to California, each of which is the residence of two women who are members of the high bar. This city has the greatest number-six, Illinois and Wisconsin have four each, Me- braska three. Pennsylvania two and Arizona, Connecticut, Missouri, New Jersey and Montana one each
 All four of the Wisconsin members belong to one family--Mrs Kate Pier and her three daughters, who are ac- tive practitioners in Milwaukee. The eldest daughter, Miss Kate H. Pier, the first of the family to be admitted, had as her sponsor the then Senator William F. Villas of Wisconsin. Later her next sister was admitted on her motion, and afterward she introduced her mother and youngest sister on the same day.
 Comparatively few of the women ad- mitted avail themselves of their priyi- leges. the conspicuous exceptions be- ing Mrs Lockwood, who has appeared frequently. and last term argued an Indian case, and Mrs Sarah Herring Soim of Tucson City, Ariz., who was admitted about a year ago and is the attorney of record in case on call next week.
 Miss Mover. the latest addition to the ranks. is a good looking young woman. apparently 23 or 24 years of age, and is the senior member of a law firm here which makes a speciality of practice before the court of claims. Herald.

earnest plea for the gallant old craft be preserved as long as her timbers can be made to hold together. The navy department went further, and acting on its recommendation con gress appropriated $100,00O to have the vessel restored as far as possible to her original appearance. The work of restoration was delegated to Naval Constructor Snow, who has been fur nished with the ships original plans along with some photographs showing how she looked in the glorious days when she floated mistress of the seas. The constructor recently made a trip to Salem, Mass, where there is mod el of the Constitution as she was be- fore being reconstructed in 1S45. This model was presented to the Salem Ma rine society by Commodore Hull, and is the only one in existence showing what the Constitution was in her days of glory and renown.
 The Constitution was built in Bos. ton, and 1t is rather curious fact that the two other vessels which were participants in the most momentous naval actions of this nation also went overheard from the shipyards of that, New England city. These were the Hartford. and the Merrimac. Only one other vessel which flew the stars and stripes can hold an equal place with this trio-that one being the original Monitor, from which has been evolved the steel clad battleship of modern days.

This has been most remarkable spring. Last month was the coldest April ever experienced by this coun- try, according to the records of the weather bureau. Thus far in May there has been little improvement in the weather conditions until within a few days. Naturally, the backward spring has affected growing crops. What is more to the point, however, it has afforded just the ideal eendi- tions for the growth and ravages of the green bug, which the scientists call the spring grain aphis.' The bug is common plant-louse, in appear ance, and becomes destructive only when the weather conditions are favorable to its multiplication during the winter and early spring. This year the conditions have been favor able to it and it has done serious damage to the wheat crops in Texas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas.

HEARD IN PASSING.

We fear that General Kuroki will have to have his digestive apparatus put in dry dock and throughly over hauled after he finishes his visit to the United States-Hartford Times.
 It seems probably that the salary of New Haven county's new shcfiff will be $6,000sa year. He wanted $7000, and his successor will pro- bably ask for $S,000-expenses paid -Ansonia Sentinel.
 While the longshoremen will not apply to Washington to aid them in dealing with the steamship com panies on the matter of their differ- ences, a hint from Washington might cause the opposing elements to at- tempt some compromise-New Lon- don Globe
 Ex-Secretary Shaw tells the Can adians that it would be improper for the United States to make special tariff treaty with Germany, giving her better terms than Great Britain. But of course it is perfectly proper in stand-patters eyes to make such a deal for a single year, so long as you call it an agreement" and not a treaty-New York World
 Mayor Hughes may be stern, un- bending and unpopular, not ill the least concilatory to the practical poll. itician, but he was happy faculty of getting his way when it is also the way of the people. The practical pol iticians, who would dearly love to wreck his plans, have no notion. of sowing the wind for the mere pleas ure of reaping the whirlwind-Now Britain Herald. "+
 The new medical law in New York state makes one board of examiners in place of the three which have heretofore been in practice and 1t au- thorizes the recognition and licensing of osteopathic physicians. It shuts out all religious" practices, or that which involves the tenets of any church," and that would seem to bar out the Christian Scientists. Here tofore the allopathic, homeopathic and eclectic schools of practice have each had board of examiners, but now all have one board and the osteopaths are added to the list. How this broadening out principle will operate remains to be seen. There are others-Bridgeport Standard.

 that an effort is to be made to render the service in both branches more attractive than it is now. It is quite likely this effort will take the di- recion of more pay for the enlisted men. Thirteen dollars month and found" is not a very manifest wage, particularly when men of the sort that are accepted for enlistment in either the army or the navy easily can make, in these times, from SIP to S25 week. It is problematical whether congress will consent to advance the enlisted mems pay, but, in the opin- ion of the best informed officers in the service, it will be necessary to do something to maintain good corps of enlisted men. particularly in the navy, which constantly has new ships coming into commission which ought to be manned by experienced and able crews.

Farming In La vendee.

'T found more things to interest me in rural France, which toured not long ago, than in the gay capital of that nation," said E. F. Burnham, of San Francisco, at the New Willard. While in many parts of the republic agriculture has been brought to a high state of perfection. in some of the departments it Is still in a primi. tive condition.
 Tn La Vendee. for instance, I saw women spinning with those old in. struments. the distaf and spindle. which were In use 4.o00 years ago. Throughout that locality sheep were kept for their milk, COWS were worke at the blow and harrow. the whea was ground by windmills. and tn, women went to market in little cart drawn by dOnkeys. Another odd sigh was the portable stills which wen from farm to farm making brandy. o which the district produces a consld erable quantity. y.--washington Post.
