first session Of the ffty-ninth congress, was in
the senate, in charge Of Senator Lodge It
was referred to the Philippine committee,
where all efforts to get favorable report
on it failed. This year the bill has been in
troduced in the house. It is in substantially
the same terms as before, and is intended to
admit to the United States free Of duty all
articles raised in the Philippines except sugar,
tobacco and rice, on which duty Of Is per
cent lad valorem is specified.
Hearings will be begun in the house ways
and means committee on this bill after the re-
cess. AS before, sugar. rice and tobacco inter
ests will oppose the proposed legislation
strongly. On the other hand Secretary Taft,
who has just returned from the Philippines,
will use his utmost effort to get the bill
passed
He has come back from the islands moro
impressed than ever with the need Of pro-
vidlng the Philippines a market in this eoun-
try, and more earnest than ever in the belief
that it is the duty Of the United States to
take steps for the betterment Of the business
of he insular possessions.
It not unlikely the fate Of the Philippine
tariff bill will depend in some degree on the
progress which Secretary Taft makes as
candidate for president. AS an aspirant for
the white house without chance Of success he
would be given but scant consideration in con-
gress, but now that he is looming up as prob
ably the strongest man in the presidential race,
his efforts will, in all likelihood, have great
weight with large republican element in both
houses-Augusta Herald.
Industrial Development.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Dee. 27.-The Trades
man gives the following industrial summary
for the year 1907:
"During the year 1907 the industrial de-
velopment Of the South has been subjected
to more untoward conditions, calculated to
retard and discourage investments in indus
trial enterprises, perhaps than has hitherto
fore existed since the reconstruction era and
yet the record shows an advance over all
others in it's history. There has been more
or less political agitation and legislation aimed
at corporations and railroads in practically
all Of the Southern States, that caused the
suspension of great deal Of railway construc-
ton work which would have distributed hun
dreds of millions of dollars in addition to
what was actually paid by these corporations
for that class of improvements in the South
and still the pace that had been set for South
ern industrial development was maintained
throughout the year, breaking all previous rec
ords.

ton as one of Oklahoma s first United States
senators. This offer was made to him in 1902
by me as spokesman Of the Democratic work
ers' conference, which was convinced that the
only chance for statehood in generation was
by securing leader Of national prominence.
Mr.. Bryan, when I joined him at train
going through Oklahoma, said he would much
rather be Senator from a great state than
President. He promised to consider the prop
osition. Several days later, on his return, he
told me that he had his newspaper and other
interests in Lincoln, and he did not see how
he could afford to take the step. ''-Richmond

"Prexy'' Receives Lonesome Students.
He was a very disconsolate looking fresh
man as he sat deep in thought before flick
ering CRATE fire in his room in College Home
at Harvard last evening. 1t was his first
Christmas away from home and he had
haunting vision Of a Preside circle in far-of
California. In Cambridge things were dull
and stupid, most Of the fellows we're away,
and those who remained we're in about the
same condition Of the blues as he was.
Suddenly there came knock at his door
and he was quick to shout CHEEKY "Come
in!" Asenior whom he knew slightly en-
tered with "Hello, old man. Aren't you
coming over to Brooks House to prexy's re-
ception? Greatest fun of the year, you know.

but then he would have been glad to do most
anything, so he was shortly on his way with

The annual reception of President and Mrs.
Eliot has long come to be looked upon as the

Prof Charles Eliot Norton followed his an
nual custom of receiving at his home, Shady
Hill, and of reading the story Of the birth Of

of selections-Boston Herald.

The Philosoplly Of Tripping.

Is restaurant tipping necessary
and incurable evil, and does it per-
haps result in benefits to the patron
that he does not appreciate? Such
would seem to be the conclusion to
be drawn from an exceedingly enter
tanning article in the current Har-
per's Weekly, written from the stand
point of the waiter. Suppose every
waiter" says this apologist, got a
regular salary with no chance for ex-
tras. Do you suppose he'd be jump
ing hurdles for lot of fussy people,
all kicking about better things than
they get at home? Do you think
he'd present the glad smile to those
he'd like to choke, break his neck
making everybody comfortable, and
then listen to their hard-luck stories
or more painful Jokes? No, sir; he'd
serve the stuff just as he got it from
the kitchen. He wouldn't go back
and fight for tidbits and extra-hot
food. He'd be in no hurry to serve
any one and pile up work for himself
The customer would wait because the
waiter wouldn't; and probably he'd
never come back, and that's where
the owner would lose The stupid
waiter starves Do you know that in
order to hold good walters the cheap
hash-slinging joints have to pay
higher wages than the swell restau-
rants? There's not the opportunity
for tips in the cheap places, and the
waiter must follow opportunity like
a bird of prey. He simply has to be
clever enough to get tips, and he has
no social standing to make him bash
full. There are two methods; one is
to get them spontaneously, the other
to force them out. Most people tip
only because they're ashamed not

George Ade,s Gum Arabic.

When George Ace wintered in
Egypt it amused him good deal to
see the serious way in which his fell
low tourists took their smattering Of
egyptian archaeology, of the Arabic
tongue and of the ancient Egyptian
iynasties. They had picked up all
his flimsy knowledge in a week or
Iwo's reading, but they acted as
though it was the precious fruit OF a
Iifetime's study.
AT Assouan, one fine day, young
6oman from ST. Joseph complained
that she could not understand the
Arabic OF her guide. To the crowd
that encircled her she pointed out the

Ter her thorough study Of Arabic, it
seemed strange that she and this

..Txing Love-Knots."

A picturesque St. Valentine con-
test, which will not cost the hostess
but few dimes, is to provide each
girl with a length of colored satin
ribbon, suggests The Delineatior.
This is the only apparatus needed
for the game Of Tying Love-nnots =
Each man is to be the timekeeper
for each girl and he must talksto her
all the time she is tying an artistic
love-knot out of the ribbon.
He keeps his watch in hand, and
tries to divert her attention and make
her answer his questions. Three
minutes is the time limit, and if she
succeeds in making the knot, he must
wear it through the evening, pinned
to his cravat. If she fails she must
keep at it until she succeeds.

Ducks in China.

There are more ducks in China
than in all the rest of the world
China, literally, is white with these
birds, and day and night the country
resounds with their metallic and
scornful voices. Children herd ducks
on every road, on every pond, on
every farm, on every lake, on every
river. There is no backyard without
its duckhouse. There is no boat,
little or great, without its duck quar-
tiers. Even in the cities of China
ducks abound They dodge between
the coolies legs. They fit, squawk-
ing, out of the way of the horses.
Their indignant quack will not un-
seldom drown the roar of urban COM
merce. All over the land there are
great duck-hatching establishments,
many of them of capacity huge
enough to produce $4,000 young
ducks every year. Duck among the
Chinese is the staple delicacy.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali

For February festivities that take

a prettier remembrance for any young
man to give his best girl" or even
young woman for whom he had no
particular regard but to whose family
he was indebted for invitations to
dinner or tea, dances or other func-
tions of the season, than one of these
candy-boxes? Two different styles

with big bow Of red ribbon, having
in the centre Cupid himself, with his
bow and arrows; the other simpler,
but just as effective, covered with
white crepe paper and decorated with
gilt arrow pierced through two
hearts. If these boxes are wanted
for souvenirs at luncheons or parties
they can easily be made at home by
a clever girl, for the crepe paper is
very simple to manipulate. The heart

The white ice cream basket is made
in exactly the same way, with the
substitution Of white paper for red
and a little pasteboard Cupid stuck
on the handle in place of the heart

St. Valentines Day was originally
the day dedicated to the incoming OF
spring. The Romans kept it in honor
of Pan and Juno, and the festival,
which lasted several days, was called
"Lupercalia. The early Christian
church, desiring to effect change in
this much-abused feast, very adroitly
reconstructed the old practice of the
lottery of lovers names. In place of
the names of real youths and maid
ems, whose appellations, written on
slips of paper, we're drawn by the
young people of the time, the church
substituted the names of the saints.
The idea had it's own beauty, and the
notion of dedication was thus pre-
served in more spiritual sense than
in the old Roman festival. This feast,
and not the existence Of the real St.
Valentine, is the origin of the gallant

MYSTERY in THIS
INDIAN SKELETON.
Bones Of Savage Clothed IN
Brig dier Generals Uniform Are
unear.hed in Texas,

The skeleton of what was prob
ably once a famous Indian chief has
been taken from lonely and I'm
marked grave at the top of one of
the Twin Mountains, ten miles east
of the spot where once stood the his
toric old fort of Camp Colorado.
Jim" Byrd, a farmer, who dis
covered the skeleton, has lived near
Twin Mountains for nearly fifty
years and has no recollection of any
human body ever having been buried
there. His twelve-year-old son was
on hunting expedition last week
and strolled to the top Of the West
Twin Mountain when he suddenly
came upon two big brass rings lying
half embedded in the yellow clay of
the hillside. The rings had most
antiquated appearance and at once
excited the curiosity of the youthful
Nimrod and he took them to his
father, who decided to make fur
ther Investigation
With pick and shovel the father
and son began digging at the spot
where the rings had been found, and
had hardly scratched the surface of
the earth when they uncovered the
bones of human being. BY care
full work the clay was removed from
all sides of the bones and the sight
that greeted the eyes of the ex-
plorers was most strange and fasci-
mating. Tattered remnants of what
was once a United States army uni
form chung in moulded dampness to
the frame of stalwart Indian chief.
The bones of the savage were in a
state of almost perfect preservation,
and the long black hair still chung
to the scalp in sinuous plaits,
But the strangest and most pc
culiar feature of the find is the fact
that the coat of the uniform bore
epaulets which have been pronounced
them to designate the rank of a
brigadier general of the United States
army.
In the grave were also found steel
bride bits, saddle buckles and the
old-fashioned spur, which was once
in vogue in the United States cav
airy. A small dirk and big butcher
knife were also among the many
articles which filled the grave.
Old army men here are highly Inc
terested in the find and declare that
the savage had at some time killed a
brigadier general and took his uni
form, which, in true Indian style,
was buried with the aborigine when
he started on his journey for the
happy hunting grounds.
The Twin Mountains, where the
skeleton was exhumed, stand ten
miles east to north of the old Camp
Colorado, which once formed the
only protection for the pioneers Of
this section, and where was once sta
toned the afterward famous South
ern general, Robert E. Lee, then a
young lieutenant. The fort was
abandoned more than thirty years
ago, and the Oldest settlers have no
memory of any one having been bur-
led on this mountain. The grave
was nearly at the top of the noun
tain and on the east side, facing the
sun.
The good state of preservation in
which the bones and the uniform
were found is accounted for by the
fact that the impervious qualities of
the clay in which they were buried
excluded all moisture from the grave

That Little Valentine Bow.

His other name is Cupid. That is
what the old Romans called him.
He had still another name given him
by the early Greeks, Eros. But what
ever he may be called, he is the same
jolly little sprite that you paint, draw
or paste on your valentines as the
love fairy.
He looks very harmless with his
chubby-baby cheeks and his loving
eyes. But look at him closely and
you will find in those eyes sparks of
mischief glinting through the love,
like points of mica in quartz rock.
