THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1908.

Representative Champ Clark of Mis-.
souri, made the best Democratic speech
of the session in the House last week.
He spoke for over an hour during which
he said the Republican tariff policy was
a confidence game and that President
Roosevelt was not q Democrat Ihe
wit, satire and sledgehammer Lows
that he hurled at the Republicans of the
House were a PLENTY and the great ap-
plause which greeted him from the De
mocratic side proclaimed that his thrusts
went home ana made deep impression
on the listeners He made the tariff
question the paramount one in his AT
gument, and the way that he showed
up the Republicans upon n question Of
such vital interest 10 the people was
convincing, II was "A great speech and
reflects credit upon the brainy Congress

He said, whatever the Presidents yir
tues, or faults, he was not a Democrat.
Occasionally he said, the President,

A STORY WITH
VARIATIONS

Directly across the harbor from the
city of Nassau, ~ p, there is an
island called Hog island, On the north
side of that island toward the ocean
there is a fine bathing beach which is
much used in the tourist season in the
winter
The fee for bathing is % cents and
includes eating all the fruit that the
bather may wish. The fruit is peeled
and put on long sticks, which is con
sidered the real way to have it.
There is no limit
Now it happens that there is a
story about a certain bather and that
fruit privilege which is a favorite in
Nassau. At least ten of every dozen
men will try to tell you that story,
that is if you stay long enough. In a
brief time like three hours you arc
likely to hear it at least three times.
Mr.. Brown who with two other
Browns forms the pilot trust down in
Nassau, told it first to couple of
Americans whom he was taking over
to the steamer in boat No. 2.
You see that place." he said,
pointing with bronzed finger
That's Hog island. You can go
over there and battle and eat all
the fruit you want for a quarter.
The old fellow who runs the place
has made a mint. one day fellow
came over and he ate bout 20 or
anges. BY and by maybe his con
science bothered him and he said:
Say, old man, maybe I'm in
fringin''
"Oh, no., says the old chap, you
know the name of the island.
When the two Americans struggled
up the rope ladder TO the steamer deck
they met the purser, who was loating
about.
I've been down here lot" he
said after awhile, but I've never
been in swimming off that island.
They say it's great And you can get
all the fruit you want too thrown in
with the price of the bath. All you
can eat for a quarter.
They tell a story about the place.
One day fellow went over there and
ate about 80 oranges. BY and by
maybe his conscience bothered him,
and he said to the old fellow who
runs the place:
Guess I'm eating too much, en-
"'Oh, no. says the old chap.
'p'raps that's how the island got its
name when one of you fellows came
along"
On board the boat when it left Mas
sau was "conch," which is the Mas
sau name for an inhabitant of the
island of New Providence. He was
telling about the place one night and
cans and said:
do you remember that island with
the lighthouse and the wreck just at
the harbor entrance? Well, that's
Hog island. It's a great bathing
place"
Go ahead, tell us the story of the
man who ate 80 oranges and then was
told maybe that's how the island got
its name"
"Oh. that isn't exactly it," said the
conch with British persistence about
details.
We'll, what is IT." asked the Amer
lean.
"Why this chap went over there
and stayed all afternoon and ate more
than 40 oranges, probably AZ, at least
so ! have heard and when he was go
ing to 20 he sighed and said to the
proprietor:
