 Tt would be suicidal to the republican party" the senator added to undertake revision of the tariff during the next Congress. After the presidential election 1t will be the duty of the republican party to revise the tariff, and 1t will be done"
 MT. Hopkins remarked that he believed such argument would appeal to and would be accepted by the republican revisionists in all parts of the country.
 MT. Hopkins had a very enthusiastic word to say regarding the presidential boom of MT. Cannon. He said
 "Of course, if President Roosevelt was a candidate there would not be the slight est opposition in the convention to his nomination, but I am thoroughly oon- vinced that MT. Roosevelt will not con- slider the nomination.; that he Is entirely sincere in declaring himself not to be a candidate under any circumstances.
 Speaker Cannon will have the entire Illinois delegation solidly behind him. and ] believe that if nominated he would make the best race of any man the repub- lican party could put forward"

Americans are possibly the most en- thusiastic collectors, for they spare no ex- pense in getting what they want either for themselves, or for their clients if they happen to be professional gatherers-in of rare things. Their tastes run not only in the orthodox channels but in most un- heard-of byways. A late justice of the supreme court made a life long business sf getting together all the almanacs that Were available from Franklln's Poor Richards s Almanac on down to the yell low ones that had jokes and weather foro- casts with patent medicine testimonials sandwiched in between. Possibly this and other cases caused 8 modern satirist to define man.

The intrinsic value of some of these sgnboards is great. not only because great men passed under them to seek bodily refreshment. and d slt of gossip in the tap room beyond, but because great artists have not serupled to turn an honest penny by painting the designs of Indian maids, nag's heads or kingly countenanees that were considered high art in those days.

Autograph collecting is one of the most profitable businesses. In this there Is often room for the charlatan as authors will themselves tell you. The willy fellow will write an author asking his interpretation of certain lines, or for list of his com piete works that he may add to an im- aginary library, and so flatter the great man that reply is invariably given with the coveted signature affixed. This the col lector puts in a book with similarly ac- qured autographs and sells for a good sum. When Kipling lived In America he was puzzled to know why & number of checks for small amounts had not been cancelled at his bank. On inquiry it de- velopod that his butcher and baker and candlestick maker were each doing a profitable little business in disposinS Of these checks at a little above their face value to autograph collectors.
