CHEAPER SHOES.
Would Follow Free Hides, Leather
and shoes.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The house ways
and means committee today held the
first tariff hearing supplementary to
the original programme. Former Judge
Samuel H. Cowan of FIT. Worth, Texas,
representing the American Live Stock
association and the Texas Cattle Rails
ers' association asked that the duty be
retained on cattle hides. claiming that
it had not been shown that free hides
would cheaper the cost of manufactur-
ed leather articles to the ultimate con-
sumner. He claimed that the farmer
was getting his share of the benefits
of the Is per cent duty obtained from
hides and that it was not going 10 the
packers, as had been asserted.
Representative Boutelle, of Illinois,
read a letter from c. H. Jones, of Bos-
ton, representing the shoe and leather
association, replying to Mr.. Boutelle' s
question as to what reduction would re-
suit in the retail prices of 81, $3.50 and
IS shoes with free hides and free leath-
er, and with free hides, leather and
shoes. Mr.. Jones said there would be
in each case a reduction of 20 cents with
the exception of the price with free
hides, leather and shoes in which case
he said there would be a reduction of
SO cents. With free hides and leather
he said the price would depend on
trust control. He did not say what
reduction would be made in the prices
of So shoes.
Champ Clark. of Missouri, asked
Judge Cowan if he knew of the beef
trust.
Most people believe there is a COM
bination of packers to fix the price of
beef" replied the witness. He told what
he knew about the packers methods
of purchasing cattle and said that they
did not fix the price of cattle except
when there was an oversupply in the
market.
Burke Cochran. of New York, asked
Judge Cowan if the packers had any
interest in the tanning business.
i've heard replied the Witness
that the packers control the leather

An Unexpccted Result.

One of the unexpected results In
Oklahoma was the defeat, under the
referendum, of the dispensary liquor
laws enacted by the state legislature TO
give force and effect to the constitu-
tional prohibition. AS a result there
are now no laws enforcing the constitu-
tional prohibition nor can there be any
until the legislature meets in January.
There has resulted a large demand TOT

HIlH ucI put so were the others, for that matter. and his state of mind was no excuse for utter imbecility. That was how the others looked at it.
 Possibly they were prejudiced by the fact that Kitty if she showed par tiality for any one showed 1t for Col grove. Dickson, being aspiring, tried bravely to emulate Colgroves plan, but his voice was weak and unconvinc- ing when he requested more music after Kitty had toiled through the Moonlight Sonata" so she said she was tired and refused him She added with touch of severity that any one who really loved music would realize that the sonata took all the best in one and left no power to give another SC lection as 1t should be given. Col grove said "Of course" sternly. So Dickson retired to a bookcase. where he pret-nded to be interested in the titles on the leather and cloth backs.
 All Kitty's admirers wondered why she did 1t. The more hours a day she gave up to her practice the worse she played. When a girl was as pretty as she was man was sufficiently en- tertained just by looking at her or lis tening to her talk There was really no reason for her going in so des- perately for music
 One would think she had made a vow!" young Seth declared, irritably, after an evening when he had not been able to exchange more than word with Kitty. 'Colgrove kept her at the piano all the time Is he stone deaf or does he think he can get rid of the rest of us that way? I guess l can stand it as long as he can, He certainly cant enjoy it."
 He acts as if he did" Dickson as serted. gloomily. And he always gets the chair nearest the piano where he can turn the leaves and hunt up music and all that!"
 Even Kittys family, in the privacy of their own councils, said with awe that Colgrove certainly must be very much in love with Kitty to endure the racket.

Colgrove said her talent was won- derful and boasted about it. When ever new acquaintances came in he would cough and say: Won't you play something. Kitty?" Then to the respectful listeners: That's one nice thing about Miss Troble, you never have to ask her twioe!"
 When invitations were out to Col groves and Kitty's wedding all the disappointed rivals tried to pretend that they were sorry for him. One of them, more reyengeful than the others. had an inspiration. The result was that among the wedding presents there shone resplendent a handsome piano with a card bearing ten names attached. The ten were the chief of the disappointed rivals.
 Colgrove and Kitty, looking over their gifts the day before the we'd ding, paused before the mahogany case.
 It's a beauty" Colgrove said, en- enthusiastically.
 Yes" said Kitty, listlessly. There was smoldering light in her eyes as she glanced at the piano which was new to Colgrove.
