Walking in the Rain

To enjoy walking in the rain You mastt,
lay yourself out to enjoy it and start with!
the intention Of getting wet. compso-
mise is worthless. Perhaps the hest rlseu
for enjoying it is wood OF dec1ducuM
trees, not because they give shelter frs49
it, but because they make so much Of IT,
multiplying with their leaves the soundc
of the falling drops.
There is always something disconBulztso
about rain on q bare heath, howevse.
thirsty the heath may be, but . wood.
seems to give warm welcome and to pa1B
it on like good news from the highsEs

Patti's Parrot.

Nine. Adelina Patti. staying some
years ago in the fall in New York,
heard of a wonderful talking parrot,
one Jumbo. Forthwith she bought
him at the unconscionable price Of
600. Once in her possession Jumbo
did not open his beak. Every bland
ishment failed. and at length she gave
him up as hopeless. Then one morn
ing the diva awoke with severe sore
throat. She was engaged to sing at
the opera on the same night and nat
urally In great trepidation sent off for
a throat specialist Jumbo, whom she
had quite forgotten, remained to all
appearance asleep on his perch. AS
the door opened, however. and the spe-
da1ist stood on the threshold. before
ever Patti could open her lips Jumbo
tapped his wings in great excitement.
"Oh, DOCTOR" he croaked. I'm SO
sickr' That was the first and last
time since Nine. Patti became pos
sessed of him that he deigned to speak.

Eccentric Henry cavsndish.


Whenever Henry Cavendish enter
tained his guests he would always give
them the same fare-a leg Of mutton.
A story goes that one day when four
friends were coming 1t was asked him
what should be ordered for dinner
He answered, "a leg Of mutton"
"Sir." was the reply, ''that will not be
enough for five" "Well. then. get
two" said the host. When this gentle
man died he was the largest holder OF
bank stock In England. He owned
f1.157OO0 in different public funds. be-
sides freehold property Of $4,000 a year
and a balance of $4,000 on account.
This large income was allowed to ac-
cumulate without attention. On one
occasion. when the bankers had In
hand balance Of $4,000, they
thought it well to acquaint Mr. Cav
endish with the fact.
If it is any trouble to you l will
take it out Of your hands. Do not come
here to plague me-" Not the least
trouble to us. sir. but we thought you
might like some of it to be invested"
"Well. what do you want to do?" Per

here to bother me or I'll remove it. "

II Will in any way affect the cattle- grow
ing industry in this country, but the re-
moval of the duty is far more than con-
pensated for by the radical cuts made in
leather, in boots and shoes, in harness
and saddlery. In these paragraphs the
duties are practically cut in two.
"Mr. Speaker, the question before the
House is: Shall this report be voted
up or shall it be voted down? II it is
voted down, you bring in chaos; you
throw open all these hundreds OF diff
ferences to amendment. You will see
nothing but disintegration. You will not
have tariff revision at this session, il, in
deed, you have it at the next. The ques-
ton before the House is: Shall we sus-
tain republican president? Shall we
carry out the pledges Of republican
platform.
"Mr. Taft, when he was candidate for
the Presidency, took the people into his
confidence and frankly announced that
il he were elected he would attempt to
bring about a revision of the tariff down
ward upon the lines of protection. That
policy beyond question is reflected in this
bill. 1t is a great government measure.
1t is one OF the most monumental meas
ures ever presented to an American Con-
gress. 1t is measure the passage of
which is desired by a republican presi-
dent. 1t is the first great policy OF this
administration.
Il say to you it would be most damaging
to him, it would be most damaging to the
cause Of a revision OF the tariff, either up
or down, il enough republicans withheld
their votes from this measure to defeat it.
1t would, at the threshold OF his admins
tration, subject him to damaging re-
pulse, and it would keep uncertainty
hanging over business.
my friend from Illinois [Mr. Mann does
not want this report to be accepted be-
cause he thinks that the cut on print pa
per from IS and 3 ton to 1915 ton 10
not sufficiently drastic. On the other
hand, the gentlemen who represent the
great paper producing districts OF the
country believe that cut even to 93.76
will produce disaster. This is only IN
illustration OF the difficulties We shall face.
We will have many conflicting views Of
this kind.
"If this report is thrown open, the gen.
tleman from Illinois will probably not
see his views prevail and the gentle
man from New York Mr.. Malby] may
not see his views prevail. II in . tariff
bill applying to some 1000 articles every
duty must first be adjusted to please
everybody, or indeed, any body, we should
never have legislation. From necessity
such q bill involves compromises. Some
OF the provisions OF this bill, standing
alone, l should vote against. But as .
whole I believe it righteous measure,
and as such it will have my vote.
1--WE will have a conflict Of forces, we
will have disintegration and chaos, il the
report is voted down; and in the interests
Of good legislation, and to put upon the
statute books what believe is, upon the
whole, as good tariff law as was ever
passed by the American Congress, APP
peal to the members upon this side Of the
chamber to give their votes in favor Of the
report" (Applause on the republican
side

PRESENTIMEMTS.

incidents In Whi,h Coming Events
Cast Their Shadows Before.
Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore them The writer is led to be-
lieve this because several incidents in
the lives Of his parents corroborate
the theory that presentiments Of good
and evil do come to persons unawares.
| Will mention two Of them.
In the summer of 1877 my father
late at night was returning to his farm
from the little town of Nation. He
had stayed unusually late. When he
reached the farm all was quiet. Re
moving the harness from his horse, he
proceeded to the carriage house and
hung it in its place.
He came out and closed'the door. AS
he did so he heard the harness fall. 1t
was very dark. He went back into the
house and found the harness still hang
ing in its place. The same occurrence
took place again. He went back again
and found 1t in its place
When the third time he heard the
sound of falling harness he did not
go back.
Several weeks later his barn burned,
and it happened that the same har-
ness was in the barn loft, valuable
set He attempted to save 1t. The
staircase burned behind him, and he
was compelled to jump for his life
from a window. His previous expert
ence came to him wildly. He saved
the harness, but at the risk of his life.
Another vivid incident | recall was
my mother sitting by the fire with
sick baby The nurse was present,
too. and both were wide awake. Her
father appeared to her and advised her
as to the baby's treatment and other
family matters. He vanished as quick
" as he had come. The next day she
heard of his death.-London Tit-Bits.

Here is an amusing description of
one OF Balzac's periods Of impecunios-
ity Merry, the poet, a great friend Of
BalZac, was an inveterate gambler
and rarely left the card table before
daybreak His way lay past the Cafe
de Paris, and for four consecutive
mornings he had met Balzac strolling
leisurely up and down dressed in a
pantalon a pieds trousers not termi-
mating below the ankle, but with feet
in them like stockings and frock coat
with velvet facings. The second morn
ing Merry felt surprised at the coinci-
dence: the third he was puzzled; the
fourth he could hold out no longer and
asked Balzac the reason of these noe
turnal perambulations roundabout the
same spot
Balzac put his hand in his pocket
and produced an almanac showing that
the sun did not rise before $50. Il am
