A Great Artist Enraqed.

Alma-Tadema has told a story Of the
fate Of two unsuccessful pictures of
his student days. One of them was re-
turned unsold by the committee of the
Brussels exhibition in 1859. The SUBJ
ject was house on fire, with people
rescuing the victims. The artists fell
low students were asked into Alma
Tadema's studio and were invited to
jump through the canvas, the owner
Of it leading the way by leaping head
first through the oily flames.
The other unsuccessful effort was q
large sized square picture that came
back again and again to its creators
easel until at last it was cut out of
its frame and given to an old woman
to use as table cover
The picture was praised by at least
one person who appreciated its excel
lence, so Alma-Tadema used to de-
clare, for the old woman was wont to
remark that it was much better than
those common oilcloth things that al
ways let the water through, as the pic
ture of Alma-Tadema's making was a
good thick one, with plenty Of paint
on it.-Minneapolis Journal.

How Long Do Dreams Last?

How long do dreams last? A Ger
man savant is investigating the mat
ter. But there is scarcely dolt who
could not give him points and has not
dreamed centuries in seconds. The
dream, it may be stated, comes in the
few seconds before the awakening
and has no relation to time or space.
This Is clear enough to the man who
has ever been placed under an anaes-
thetic for a short while and found
time and space eliminated.
AS an experiment this writer was
placed under Whit Of chloroform by
a doctor. Absolute Inconsistencies
supervened, then a return Of con-
seriousness, the questions Of the uni
verse, up through layers Of conscious
ness, with always the feeling, "Now l
have solved it," and the "No" and the
Eyes" alternating through centuries Of
thought, and then the quizzical face
of the doctor, remembered after mill
nol4 years. How long have you been
under?" The experimenter struggled
up and saw the doctor with his watch
in hand. "Ten seconds" the doctor
said, and the dreamer had been out
side time for time that has no meas

Tho Supposed Life on Mars.

sh0 SuPPVSC0 Lilo OIl wars
Not only do the observations we have
scanned lead us to the conclusion that
Mars at this moment is inhabited, but
they land us at the further one that
these deniZens are of an order whose
acquaintance was worth the making.
Whether we ever shall come to con-
verse with them In any more instant
way is question upon which science
at present has no data to decide. More
important to us is the tact that they
exist, made all the more Interesting
by their precedence Of US in the path
Of evolution. Their presence certainly
GUSTS US from any unique or self cen
tered position in the solar system, but
so with the world did the Copern1can
system the Ptolemaic, and the world
survived this deposing change. So
may man. To all who have cosmo-
planetary breadth of view it cannot
but be pregnant to contemplate extra
mundane life and to realize that we
have warrant for believing that such
life now inhabits the planet Mars

HAS CHANCE OF RECOVERY
GuatemaIan Special Envoy Injured at
Washington.

Washington, Dec 10. Although
passing a night of comparative rest at
the Emergency hospital the condition
of Senior Don Juan Barrios, minister
of foreign affairs of Guatemala and
minister to the United States on a
special mission, is regarded as still
critical The diplomat was injured
seriously in an automobile accident,
but the physicians at the hospital say
that his chances of recovery are fair
ly good.
All the other members of the party,
who so narrowly escaped death when
a big 60-horsepower touring car turned
turtle near the new bridge over the
Potomac, are reported at their resi-
dences and hotels to have been in
jured much less seriously than Senior
Barrios.
The police are searching the city in
an effort to recover about $4,000
stolen from Senior Barrios by some
one who crowded around. the over
turned automobile and it's uncon-
scious occupants. Senior Barrios had
three $1,000 bills and three 500 bills
in a long pocketbook bearing his
name, That could not be found after
the accident
Government officials in Washington
were peculiarly touched by the acct
dent, owing to the fact that Senior
Barrios and his party, consisting of
General John Drummond, Senior Don
Luis Toledo Herrarte and chauf-
feur, were on their way to Mount Yer
non to place a wreath on the tomb OF
Washington at , the request of the
president OF Guatemala.

TAFT CONFERS
WITH CANNON
Tariff Revision Subject Of
Consideration.
ALONG REPUBLICAN LINES

President-EIect and Speaker Agree
That Legislation Should Be Enacted
as Indicated in the Party Platform
Formers Part of the Task Will Be
Confined to Such Suggestions as He
May Desire to Make.
Washington, Dec. 1O.-President
Elect Taft and Speaker Cannon had a
conference of an hour and a half at
the Boardman residence, where Mr..
Taft is staying. At it's conclusion
each participant announced that al
arrangement had been made whereby
Mr.. Taft was to meet the Republican
members of the committee on ways
and means, after which statement
will be issued. Until this statement
is made Mr.. Taft said he and Mr.
Cannon had agreed not to discuss
what had taken place between them
The apparent satisfaction with
which Mr.. Taft explained the situa-
ton was taken as an evidence that
matters were very much to his liking
It is known, of course, that the sub
iect under discussion between Messrs.
Taft and Cannon was the Forthcoming
revision of the tariff, regarding which
Mr.. Taft has declared himself most
positively in favor of a thorough re-
vision.
1t is understood that very little was
said between the president-elect and
the speaker concerning the details of
the proposed tariff legislation, but
that the conversation dealt entirely
with the broad principles involved in
that legislation. They proceeded
upon the express understanding that
they had come together as the repre-
sentatives of two coordinate branches
of the government and whatever of
difference in detail the future may
develop, if any, the discussion was on
the friendliest possible basis. The I'm.
derstanding, so far as there was any,
was that the presidents part. in the
preparation of a new tariff would be
confined to such suggestions as he
might desire to make and he was as.
sured that while these would be
listened to by the house with every
possible consideration he was not led
to believe that the house would aban-
don it's prerogative in the preparation
of the new law. Nor was there any
Indication on Mr.. Taft's part that he
would expect or desire it to do so.
Both agreed that the tariff should be
revised and that the revision should
be along the lines indicated by the
tariff plank of the Republican plat
form. Neither indicated a desire to
depart from protective principles in
the work to be DONE

new LINE OF TESTIMONY
Witness Tells Of Economic Develop
ment of Oil Business.

New York, Dec. 10.-Branching off
into new line of testimony intended
to show the economic development of
the business of the Standard Oil COM
pany counsel for that corporation put
L. r. Drake on the stand in the hear
ing of the government suit for it's dis
solution. Mr.. Drake said $250,O00
had been spent in educating the peo-
pie in the advantages of using gaso-
line. The work was so successful
that in 1905 and 1906 the demand for
gasoline equaled the supply, said the
witness.
Frank B. Kellogg, attorney for the
government, brought out admissions
from Mr.. Drake that the company
never had patented a gasoline stove
or gasoline engine and that improve
ments in that direction for the use of
gasoline had been made by other peo-
pie.
Mr.. Drake denied that the price of
gasoline had increased three or four
times in the last few years, but said
possibly the price had doubled since
1897.

department of agriculture, John Ca
pers, commissioner of internal rev.
enue, and F. l.. Dunlap of the depart
ment of agriculture to take up the
question of marking WHISTLES under

enue regulations. This action of the
president was taken after he had
heard the complaints of large dele
cation of distillers and rectiiers from
Illinois, who told the president that
there was great uncertainty and con-
fusion in their business by reason of
the existing regulations of the inter-
nal revenue bureau, which were based
upon recent decisions Of Attorney
General Bonaparte. It was desired
that there should be harmony be-
tween the producers of whisky and
the government.

MURDER OR AN ACCIDENT
Physicians Testify at Hirschberg In
quest at St. Louis.

st. Louis, Dec. 10.-The coroner's
inquest over the body of Francis D.
Hirschberg, the prominent St. Louis
citizen who. was killed mysteriously>
in his home here, was resumed and
the physicians who performed the au-
topsy on the body gave it as their
opinion that Mr.. Hirschberg was MUIR
dered or killed accidentally, the alb
sence of powder marks being taken as
stuff evidence to preclude the
theory of suicide
The solution of the mystery will
depend largely upon the success of
the police in tracing the ownership of
the revolver found in the hall of the
Hirschberg residence. The weapon
was old and pocket worn and several
members of the Hirschberg household
aver that they had never seen it be-.
fore. A search of pawnshops and
other records has been undertaken in
an effort to learn the history of the
pistol,
