THE TENDER PASSION.

The fiirt is always practicing a game
she never intends to play.
We praise the sensible girl. but we
sometimes MARI the other Kind.
The flirt sometimes finds she can de-
ceive man more by being sincere.
Learning how 10 love is Natures
roundabout way of teaching us how to
hate.
The man in love is foolish, BUT he
doesn't admit it until after he gets
married.
We love only once, and few of us
are lucky enough TO marry at that
time.
are the ones who are disappointed
the least
Another fellows sister always seems
nicer to us than our OVID until after
we have married.
While love at first sight may lead
to marriage. second sight is just as
likely to lead to divorce.
When at last you meet the ideal
woman the chances are that she won't
consider you the ideal man

Big Game In Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-"There are now
probably 1000 more moose in the Jack
son Hole county" said s. f. Bartlett
who has just returned from that sec
ton. The information he gives, is
news to sportsmen of the southern
part Of the state, who have been under
the impression that not more than 200
moose could be found in the state. The
reason for the increase is that moose
have ben protected during the past few
years by a closed season and to be
caught in molestation Of them entails
q heavy fine or Imprisonment

Spring Under Capital Square.

Beautiful landscape gardening makes
Franklin Square one of the most at
tractive of the numerous breathing
spaces of Washington and its
green sward covers splendid
spring containing an inexhausti-
BILE supply of pure sparkling
water, which was used for the tens
of thousands of soldiers who en-
camped there and on the contiguous
blocks of ground during the civil war;
a spring which for more than half a
century supplied the White House
with cooking and drinking water,
through wooden piping beneath the
ground.

Paris Gets Acquisition.

The American telephone girl has
been transplanted to Paris, and ac-
cording to reports she has lost none of
the qualities which distinguish her in
this country, but Is quite as ready tC
break in upon her own private con-
versation to oblige customer of the
telephone at any time. and her re-
plies to irate and disobliging people
asking for connections are of the same
temperate and high-class English she
employs at home.

KEEP TO THE RIGHT
North Square Always ihe Scene
 of Reckless Driving.

A bad automobile accident is likely
 to happen any day on North square.
 The rule of the road, to keep to the right, is never carried out and driy-
 CTS seem to take particular pleasure in scurrying across the square with all possible speed Instead of keeping to the south side of the trolley track on the square, chauffeurs skim along the north side and cut across to the right side, their proper place, just op- posite the residence of Mrs John Ryan. Quite frequently it happens that a trolley car and an automobile almost meet just above the watering trough, and when the storekeepers and store clerks on the square turn aside their heads to prevent seeing what they expect to happen at any moment, a collision between car and an automobile. Whatever the fascination, chauffeurs never keep to their proper side of the road in cross ing North square. The moment they reach Sanderson's market, if they come up North Main or if they come up Grove street, they turn to the left and keep onu that side until they pass Mrs Ryan's house. Dozens oi times every day trolley and auto al most meet in collision at that point and some day there will be trouble unless chauffeurs obey the rule of the road

J0KED HIMSELF IN.

How "Private" John Allen Got Himself
 Elected to Congress.
 Here is Champ Clark's defense of humor, if 1t needs one:
 'The dry-as-dusts solemnly assev- crate that humor never did any good. Now, let's see. How did Private John Allen of Mississippi get to congress? Joked himself in. One bit of humor sent him to Washington, national lawmaker. Opposing him for the con gressional nomination was the Confed- crate General Tucker. They met on the stump. General Tucker closed one of his speeches as follows:
 "'Seyenteen years ago tonight. my fellow citizens, after a hard fought battle on yorder hill. biyouacked un- der yonder clump of trees. Those of you who remember as I do the times that tried mems souls will not, hope. forget their humble servant when the primaries shall be held
 That was a strong appeal fin those days, but John raised the general at his own game. My fellow citizens, he said. what General Tucker says to you about bivouacking under wonder clump of trees is true. It is also true. my fellow citizens. that I was a yedette picket and stood guard over him while he slept. Now. then, fellow citizens. all you who were generals and had privates to stand over you while you slept vote for General Tucker, and all of you who were privates and stood guard over the generals while they slept vote for Private John Allen The people caught on, took John at his word and sent him to congress, where he stayed until the world was filled with his renown."

DAYLIGHT ASSAULT
Esur Men MaIlreal Resident 0f
 Riverside Street.

L. Mersky of 561 Riverside street, for the past 20 years a res ident of this town, was assaulted on Bank street about II o'clock this morning by a band of rowdies and beaten in a most brutal manner while spectators looked on Tn De. wilderment at the suddenness ana yiciousness of the attack. MT Mersky also had his clothes torn. He was walking towards the eel, r with a small bundle of mef- .nandise under his arm and when about at the hotel Heine four hilar- ious fellows happened along going in the other direction. He says he noticed that they were under the in- fiuence of liquor and stepped to one side to give them lots of room, but this didn't do and without mo- ment's warning he got poke Tn the ribs that took his breath away and caused him to drop his bundle. As soon as he recovered he stopped to pick up the parcel anu then all piled onto him, striking him on the head and face with their fists, kick ing him on the body and tearing his coat. As soon as he got a chance he got out of the way and reported the case at the police, but by the time an officer reached there his as sailants had got out of the way.
 ''I have lived here for 20 years, said MT Mersky to Democrat le- porter, ''and never was interfsred with before. I never was arrested for any offense and am not aware that have any personal enemies. It is a shame that such thing should happen on one of the principal thor oughfares of the city in broad day light and the offenders get under cover before an officer showed up. Such things make man feel that instead of improving the town is growing worse I want to give this thing as much publicity as possible, not because I feel that 1 am serl- ously hurt, but in the hope of pre- venting a repetition of such con duct. The men were between the ages of 25 and 30. and were under the influence of liquor, but not drunk. I hope they will be arres.- ed and brought into court. When citizen is assaulted almost in the heart of the city at II o'clock ir the forenoon every law abiding man should take the matter home to himself and ask if he is safe, is his wife secure once she leaves the house, and what about his children.
 MT Mersky is a bright, clever ap' bearing man and took his punish ment without a murmer. He sells clothing and has wide acquaint ance all over town. He received g bad blow on the side, but whether 1t will result seriously or not he was not able to say. He felt the humiliation keenly, and no won der.

 cial Tries to Get Him With Pistol.

A man who has been an office seeker and was a candidate in the last municipal election, but whose name Is kept secret. called at the mayors office and declared he would shoot the mayor.
 Patrolman Abraham ]. Guequierre. the mayors personal bodyguard, dis armed the man after a struggle. The man entered the reception room and demanded that he be allowed to see the mayor. He said he had private business to talk over. He Is said tO have been intoxicated, and the sus- pieions of the bOdyguard were aroused. He pulled a revolver from his hip pocket and started toward the inner oface. The patrolman grappled him and succeeded In vrest- ing the gun away from him. He continued to struggle. however. shouting. s.T'm desperate, I'm going fo shoot the mayor"
 The fact that the man has been a lifelong friend of the mayor and his condition when the attempt vas made were responsible for the sup pressi0n of the name.

TARIFF REVISION
IN LONG SESSION
McCumber of North Dako-
ia Says Congress Will
Work Late.

An extra session Of Congress viii GER
tainly be held this winter Immediate
ly upon the adjournment of the regu-
lar session on March 1. This was the
statement made yesterday by Senator
McCumber Of North Dakota, on his
arrival IN Washington after a confer
ence with the President and Mr. Taft,
held on this subject at Oyster Bay.
Not only Will the extra session be held.
the Senator says, but the tariff viii be
revised.
Among the important articles the
West will demand shall be placed on
the free list" said Senator McCumber,
are lumber and coal"
A particularly strong fight will be
made TO accomplish this result A spe-
ciaI effort will be made TO conserve
the raw material that enters into man
ufacturies by putting it on the free
list, and thus encourage admission OF
such articles from abroad. The effort
is 10 be made to put on the free list
such articles as iron, lumber and coal.
the heavy demand for which is gradu-
ally exhausting this country's supply.
Residents OF the Great Northwest
have hitherto bitterly opposed sugges-
tions looking TO free lumber, but It is
the opinion Of Senator NcCumber that
In regions where lumber is fast becom-
ing scarce the idea is becoming fixed
that II the American markets could be
opened to the Canadian lumber supply
there would be a material reduction In
price. Although he does not share the
opinion that such a reduction in price
would follow the admission of free lum-
ber, Mr. MCCumber does think that
many evils could be avoided by taking
that commodity from the dutiable list
and il VIII be his purpose TO support
this policy IN the Senate this winte.
when the extra session is called.
So far as the East is concerned, Mr..
McCumber is of tho opinion that manu-
facturers in that section VIII also make
a great effort 10 get wool and hides on
the free list. This. he said, the West
would undoubtedly oppose with all its
power.
1T is my opinion" the Senator said.
that we shah be IN washington all
next spring and possibly a goood part
OF the summer if the Eastern and West
ern interests fight each other IN the
extra session"
