able business Senator Bailey Of Tex
as delivered today, set speech on
the democratic side in opposition to
the pending tariff bill. After he had
proceeded without interruption for
more than an hour, several senators
engaged In eolloquoy with him.
Referring 10 Bsiley's statement that
the duties OF the pending bill might
be lowered 33 l.3 per cent, Aldrich
asked whether he supposed the pro.

case OF the United States steel cor

cited increased capitalization Of that
organization as evidence Of the enor.

such lowering OF the rate Of duty
would not seriously acct importations
because lie believed American manu-
fae,urers would be stimulated by
added foreign competition and would
continue to supply the markets,
Senator Bailey discussed his
amendment providing for an income
tax which was criticized by Aldrich
as tending to reduce protection for
American labor II Il should result in
a proportionate decrease in custom
duties. Bailey favored restriction Of
immigration as TO protection to

that while Bailey was ready to keep
foreign labor from our shores, he was
not averse to avoiding the product Of

little man.
One reason why Mug-a-tug had the
manners of a man was because he MAD
no father, and he was the real head OF
the house, so his mother always told him.
You see, his father had died when Mug
a-tug was only bit of a bald-headed
baby, and the little fellow had never
known what 1t was not to be the head OF
the family for not only was he the only
boy, but the only child of his parents
Mug-a-tugs mother sewed for their liv-
ing and Mug-a-tus went to school every
day. getting smarter and smarter all the
time, so that in few years he might be
able to make the living and allow his
dear mother to rest and do nothing but
to look after their home. Many and
many were the plans for the future that
Mug-a-tug made. and they were plans Tor
his dear mothers comfort and their joint
happiness
Always on the holidays Mug-a-tug gave
some sort of gift to his mother-Whenever
he could earn enough pennies to buy one.
On Christmas he had given her pretty
new collar. On New Year he had given
her a new belt. (These articles of wear
Mug-a-tug had bought at a ten-cent store.
where one might find anything on earth
that one could possibly deslreo And the
money with which Mug-a-tug had made
his purchases had been earned by him
selling papers in the evening after school.
And now st. Valentines day was ap-
preaching. Mug-a-tug heard the school
children talking about it, and from what
they said it was day on which to give
valentines TO your best girl. Now. al
though Mus-a-tug liked Stella Adams
very. much, indeed. he could hardly call
her his best girl" for the boys had told
him that a best sirr' was liked better
than any one else in the world. And Mug
a-tug did not love Stella Adams better
than any one in the world. He loved his
dear mother best, and she should have
any valentine that Mug-a-tug could find
the money to buy.
But for the week before St Valentines
day Mug-a-tug did not sell any papers,
for he could not go out in the cold rains
on account of very bad sore throat.
And SO he had no pennies with which to
buy valentine for his mother.
Just the day before Valentines day
Mug-a-tug was able to go out to do some
marketing for his mother. And as he
went along the street he noticed the fine
display OF valentines In the windows of
the little toy shops. How lovely some of
them were, and how comical others were!
Several times Mug a-tug stopped to adj

He seems to be all doubled up in the

Mrs Jones turned her attention to the
