since.
The altar frontal is s feet long and 4

represented as medieval knight. The
arms and notices Of Col. Noyes and Of

Courtesy to Old Folks.

One of the surest signs of good breed
ing is shown by a person who is Il re-
spectOr of old age-I care not whether
the aged person is an old man sweep
ing the streets or a palsied millionaire
lying on a divan with silken cushions
around him; whether it is the poor old
washwoman. or the bedrdden wife of
a king, Old age should be respected,
hut how often it is not. | see more dis
courtesy extended to old ladies in street

The conductors are either kind, man

be-as they are noticeably rude. |
have watched poor, tired women stand
ing at the counters, waiting for a clerk,
and they are usually the very last ones
to be served Many men will sit in the
car and permit a poor old woman to
stand in the aisle. In a crowd, these
old men and women are ruthlessly
pushed aside If one happens to be
deaf, then there is certain to be some
one who by some discourtesy will make
that affliction the cause of a double
heartache. An old face does not make
an old heart and many of these dear
old people have outlived their families
and are alone in the world, and their
presence in the home is made wreiched
by the children. Children should be
taught to reverence old age.

The life of John Kecne, hand on the
James farm. Portsmouth, n. H., was
undoubtedly saved by his collie dog.
Keene was leading a bull to water him
and when near the barn was charged
by the animal and thrown to the ground.
The bull then made several attempts
to gore Keene, who was loudly calling
for help. His dog, hearing the call, ran
to his assistance and seized the bull by
the tail. The bull then turned it's atten-
ton to the dog. allowing Keene to es-
cape to the barn. Mr.. Keene suffered
four broken ribs and was badly bruised

The consideration Of schedules had nor
proceeded far before there was q. yVran-

an hour over the question OF lust what
was the parliamentary situation.
After much discussion il was finally
understood that each paragraph wOuId
be taken up for COMMITTEES and other
amendments and then that the para
graphs should be agreed 20 as amended
and that any other amendment would
have 10 be made through reconsfdera-

the statements attributed to him in
which IL was declared that II Presi-
dent Taft's recommendations were en-
acted into law a revolt in Porto Rico
would be inevitable
"I was misunderstood" )" said Mr.. Lar
Tinaga- 'I did. not state that I antici-
pated trouble OF any kind. much less
bloodshed, in Porto Rico. What I sa id
was that, IL the members Of the exec
sItive council at the next election want
ed to have control of the lower house
by having their political friends there.
they would have to use the same means
they resorted to IN 1900 and 1902; namely.
kill people. destroy property. and use
violence OF all sorts through their
friends to keep the people from the reg
istration and polling places.
Another mistake was also made in
the interview attributed TO me. In
speaking Of the loan that I was author
ICED TO contract in Paris in 1899. I said
ft was 20 be used for the building OF
waterworls and other improvements OF

payment Of the slaves that had been
freed, for this had been done long ago
and required a much larger amount

cility with which II was obtained proved

MIDDLE WEST VS..
REST OF COUNTRY

IL the lineup of Senators on the lead
schedule as 1t was voted on in the Son
ate is test, or anything like one. the
tariff battle is a struggle between the
Mississippi valley States, on the one
hand, and the East, Rocky mountain
States. and the Pacific coast States. on
the other.
In other words, the fight. so far as the
Republicans are concerned. is between
the middle West on one side and the
East and far West on the other.
The majority Senator'S who have been
standing for reduced duties on pig lead
are Beveridge, Bristow, Brown, Burkett.
Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Gamble, La
Toilette, and Nelson. These are all
middle Western Senator's.
In the controversy over the lead
schedule. which has proven unexpected
~ animated and prolonged, Senator
Aldrich has been able TO line up in sup
port Of the Finance Committees prop
osition the Senators from the East and
from the remote West. Moreover. he
has been able to get some middle West
ern strength, as, for instance, the vote
OF Warner OF Missouri. which is the
largest lead producing State The SEN
ators frOm the far West, who are in
clined 70 reductions. have not wanted
in the lead schedule.
The situation Is typical Of the align
ment that may be expected from now
on until the bill is passed by the Sen
ate. It does not however, represent
the exact lineup. The assertions of in
surgent Republicans that they will he
stronger when some OF tie
other schedules are considered are nm
