Freckled on One Side,

For years this particular young wom. nn had been troubled every spring by having her face decorated by a coat Of perfectly awful" frackles just as soon as the sun began to put on it's customary vernal power. She made up her mind recently to beat Old Sol by staying indoors, and arranged 10 do lot of family sewing, not so much as Lenten penance as to overcome the desire to sally forth into the streets. So for the entire six days she remained alone at home In her apartment while her mother was away
 sitting at the window. always with one side of her head to the sunlight. When her mother returned the first thing the old lady did was to exclaim: Why
 Elien!" The daughter sighed. "Yes. mother" she said. "Old Sol got in his fine work as far as he could. One side of my face is mass of freckles."

SENATE REDUCES COAL DUTY
Takes Seven Gents a Ton Of Rate as Fixed by the
 House.

Washington. June 25.--Rather un. expectedly to itself. the senate con. cluded it's consideration of the coal schedule. The finance committee through Mir. Aldrich reported an amendment fixing the duty on bltumin. ous coal and shale at 50 cents per ton: coke and compositions used for fuel Ut 20 per cent ad valorem. A drawback equal to the duty is allowed vessels in the foreign trade.
 This scale, MT. Aldrich explained. was reduction of seven cents ton on coal under the house rate. The omendment. he said. also left out the house reciprocity provision. He did not believe. however, that the house would remove its duty on coal even if the reciprocity provision were left in the bill
 Senator McCumber. declaring that he was in favor of free coal, offered an amendment reducing the rate of duty reported by the committee on finance to 40 cents ton The amendment was voted down. 2s 10 A, whereupon the committees amendment was ac- cepted without change and without division.

THE TAFT PROGRAM
LEADERS IN CONGRESS coNFL DENT THAT THE CORPORA
 TON TAX WILL PASS.
WILL BE AMENDMENT PROOF
After a Careful Poll of Both Houses the President Was Assured That the Measure Would Be Rushed Through Without Loss of Time.

Washington, June 25.-Before the senate takes up President Tafts pro gram for the taxation of net earnings of corporations the leaders will know how every member intends to vote on the subject. The most careful poll that can be made will be in the hands of Senator Aldrich to-day and will be communicated to the president.
 From indications so far 1t appears that the members of the finance com. mittee were justified in assuring the president as they did. that the meas ure would be adopted. Representative John Dwight of New York, the Repub- lican whip, promised senate leaders that if the senate incorporates the cor poration tax plan in the tariff bill the amendment will be retained by the house.
 It Is supposed that he based his statement upon canvass of the house.
 The fact that Republican house lead CTS, including Speaker Cannon and Representative Payne. assured the
 
 amendment would meet with favor in the house, Is said to preclude the pos siblliiy of defeat there.
 Attorney General Wickersham and Senator Root were together on the senate floor and later in the finance committee rooms discussing the feat ures of the cooperation tax plan. It was determined that the measure should be made amendment proof" before offered to the senate. It Is the intention of the senate leaders to re- sist any amendment that may be offer ed.
 A rumor disposed of was that there would be an effort to postpone action until next December on both the cor. poration tax amendment ana the plan to submit to the states the question of amending the constitution so as to enable congress to Impose tax on in- comes. The senate leaders said that postponement had not been thought of.
 The supporters of the Bailey-Cum- mins income tax amendment which the presidents plan Is expected to supplant. have not abandoned their intention to obtain direct vote on the income tax question. If their amendment Is displaced 1t is likely that practically all of the Republicans will vote for the corporation tax

 CENT AD VALOREM.
THE COMMITTEE IS SUSTAINED
The Rate Is the Same as That Under the Present Lsw--Finance Com mittee to Increase House Schedule On Sawed Lumber.

Washington, June 24.-When the senate reached the voting stage on the hide schedule, and after several amendments had been defeated the amendment of the finance committee fixing duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on hides was agreed to by the vote Of 46 to 30.
 This Is the rate of the present law but under the rulings of the treasury department is applicable only to 4ides weighing more than 2J pounds.
 The house placed all hides on the free list, but the committee restored the Dingley policy by adding them to the dutiable list. The senate sustain ed its committee. senator McLaurin undertook to have the provision amended so as to make the duty apblyable te hides weighing legs than 25 pounds but failed, his amend- ment being voted down S1 to 4S An amendment by MT. Stone placing not only hides, but many of their products on the free list. was also lost.
 Just before adjournment for the day at o'clock, Senator Aldrich on be half of the finance committee present. cd the committees new lumber sched ule and also a number of amendments relating to linoleum and oil cloth The committee proposed rate of s15O per 1000 on sawed lumber, which ls 50 cent increase over the house rate Neither the lumber nor linoleum schedules were acted upon.
 Previous to the balloting more than six hours was devoted to speech-mak- ing beginning at 10 o'clock with an argument by MT McCumber for duty on hides, in which he was sustained by Messrs. Gamble and Hepburn. They took the position that the effort to make hides free was solely in the interest of the manufacturers, and Mir.

English Dislike of Humor.

II Is sometimes matter for won der that humorists are allowed to live In this country. Deep down in our English character is a conscious dis. like of laughter Laughter is an ex. pression of emotion, and we have a horror of it It may be that this se. cret objection to the comic muse is a surviving relic of the sturdy old Puri. tanism which has done so much for the race in many directions and hand. capped 1t in others. When Disraeli began to be prominent in the house or commons 1t used to be said of him that, though he was a very amusing fellow and made the house laugh. he could never hope to take rank as statesman. Lord Randolph Churchill went through exactly the same ex. perience in his early days. Few peo- pie would admit that man who ex. pressed himself humorously had any calm to be taken seriously.
