Franklin Proverbs.

A few proverbs Of Benjamin
Franklin that most people might
profitably ponder:
If you would be wealthy, think of
saving as well as getting.
Beware Of small expenses; a small
leak will sink a great ship
Fools make feasts, and wise men
eat them.
Buy what thou hast no need of,
and ere long thou wilt sell thy neces-
saries.
Wise men learn by others harms;
fools scarcely by their own.
In the affairs of this world men
are saved, not by faith, but by the
want Of it.
Experience keeps a dear school,
but fools will learn in no other, and
scarce I'm that.
They that won't be counseled.
can't be helped.

Extra Session Cost About $500 900.

The extraordinary session OF Con-
wreSs which completed one week ago
its revision Of the tariff law, cost the
American people, it has been esti-
mated by some OF the StatiSticianS
around the capitol, according to Il
Washington dispatch, about $780,
900.
Many different items enter into
this grand total, the chief of which Is
mileage. The Houses expense on
this account aggregates $154, 900,
and that of the Senate $4,000. Ex-
ira pay allowed TO employees on
both sides of the capitol amounted,
it is estimated, to about $15O,O0O.
Special employees engaged in COM
piling information for Congress and
the committees, relative to the tariff
were paid good salaries.
The government printing Office has
not yet sup led a statement con-
cerning the cost OF printing the
tariff bill, reports and hearings, but
it Is known that this will be large

a Good Suggestion.
Nashville Herald.)

1t has been frequently suggested
and the suggestion is a good one, for
every farmer to place his name and
the name Of his farm on his road
gate. Not only would person driv-
ing to place more easily find 1t, but
1t would add more pleasure and in
terest to people driving from place to
place. This last result would have
specific effect with regard to we'll
kept and pretty houses. An observ-
ing person will seldom pass a beau
tiful farm without desiring to know
who Is Its enterprising owner.

Before 1t is Too Late.

If you have a gray haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit you down and write the letter
You put off from day to day.
Don't wait until her weary steps
Reach heavens pearly gates;
But show her that you think of her,
Before it is too late.
If you have tender message,
Or loving word to say.
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it to-day.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you If you wait?
So make your loved one happy
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken,
The letters never sent,
The long forgotten messages,
The wealth Of love unspent;
For these some hearts are breaking
For these some loved ones wait;
Show them that you care for them
Before 1t is too late.

The following letter was written by
Il Senator of the United States from
South Carolina to a relative at home:
81 have been detained here longer
than ! expected by the procrastina-
ton of the adjournment; mainly by
means Of the tariff question. 1t has

it up tomorrow. 1t eXcites much
feeling, particularly in the South;

that it is one Of the greatest instru-
ments Of our impoverishment, and
If persisted in must result eventually,

much it has alienated that portion of
the country. The most thinking men
look on the present unequal action of
the system with the deepest anxiety

right to demand the production of private
pa pers in such vague action.
The argument OF the motion to quash the sub
poenas in the cases Of Shaw and Mclaughlin did
not prevent the federal grand jury from exam
lining two other witnesses in connection with
the Panama matter. The first witness called
was H. H Bjornson, a clark in the Washington
office OF Sullivan Cromwell.
Biornson was in the jury room only few
minutes When he came out he said that the
grand Jury had asked him it, to his knowledge,
the firm of Sullivan & Cromwell had offered to
pay for the suppression of the Panama story
He said that he told the grand jury that ne
knew nothing about that matter, because at the
time the alleged negotiations took place he was
engaged in pure food matters.
Jonas whitley an old newspaper man and at
present a confidential employe Of William Mel
son Cromwell, was the next witness. When he
came out the only information he would vouch-
safe was that he had been questioned about the
running OF a newspaper Office. The reporter
writes the copy Of the story and then the city
editor chews 1t up" was the way he said ne en-
lghtened the jury in answer TO it's query

the proceedings in the Panama matter are being
taken down by stenographer. which is a decid-
edIy unusual occurrence. No provision exists
under the federal statutes for stenographic min
utes OF the grand jury proceedings. and such
records are taken only in unusual proceedings
where the federal authorities OF the district are
authorized to incur extra expenses.
-Four other witnesses are known to be under
subpnpna to appear before the grand jury in the
Panama case. They are A s. Rowsey. a news
paper man Of this city and Boston, who has
spent considerable time in Panama; John E.
Weier a New York reporter. who has written
several stories about the canal purchase; Harry

arguments of this character. and says that II the
price of land is high this fact would seen, to show
conclusvely that the industry using such land
must be prosperous to afford the prices asked
In addressing the committee Mr.. George made the
following argument:
1t is. OF course possible that many persons may
have paid more for land than ii is really worth
but this is not reason why Congress should
legislate for the benefit OF unwise SPECTATORS in
land. IT the necessity for making a profit out OF
land for which excessive prices have been paid is

government would receive no revenue

OF higher duties will show, demonstrated in nv

the real benefciaries of the protective tariff are
