Rucker CHARGES Liquor Lobby.
Representative Rucker exploded
a bomb in the Republican camp by
announcing that a liquor lobby had
been very persistent around the
Capitol for several weeks. He di-
rected the specific inquiry at Chair
man Payne as to whether this lob
by had been conspicuous about the
Ways and Means Committee room
while the beer schedule was under
discussion.
Mr.. Payne emphatically denied
any knowledge of a lobby working
in the interest of the brewers. He
said that not a single person ap-
peared before the committee asking
that beer be placed on the free list,
The indications now are" retOrt-
ed Rucker,, that it was entirely un-
necessary for lobby to make such
a request"
He intimated that the brewing in
terests had friends on the inside,
The discussion over beer came
after Mr.. Payne had gone into,
with great detail. the proposition
included in the bill, of putting a
prohibitive tariff on gloves.

that the committee has put such
an enormous duty on gloves, and
especially women's gloves, and al

HE CHANGES
OLD ORDER.
Taft Sweeps Away Many Roose-
velt Methods.

Washington, March rs. Al
though only eighteen days elapsed
between the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Taft and the departure of
Theodore Roosevelt for Africa, it is
a matter of remark that the new
president has placed the seal of
disapproval on many of the methods
of his predecessor in doing busi-
ness.
Some of these changes have not
yet been fully placed in operation,
but they are fully agreed upon and
may be described as revolutionary.
A list hastily prepared is as fol-
lows:
Abandonment of evidence OBJ
tained by the bureau of corpora
tions in criminal prosecution.
Abandonment of the plan of rec
ommending details of legislation to
congress.
Rejection of the plan creating
commissions and expending money
without the authority of congress.
Reversal of the policy instituted
by the Roosevelt administration in
closing the Pensacola and New Or
leans navy yard.
Departure from the policy of ap-
pointing negroes to Office in the
south over a protest Of the MAORI
ty of the white citizens.
Long messages to congress dis
carded.
Senators receive anew the right
to recommend presidential appoint
ments.
Tennis court deserted, tennis cab
met dispersed.
New policy in process of forma-
ton for enforcing the interstate
commerce laws.
I Members of the cabinet receive
the privilege of choosing their as
sistantS.
Orders issued to officeholderS at
a distance to stay on their jobs"
and keep away from Washington.
Luncheon pslicy discarded; the
president eats only an apple for
lunch.
Disuse of simplified spelling.
Ever since coinage was estab-
lished in this country the principle
has been followed that the face of
a citizen should not appear on the
coins, and the recent decision to
substitute the portrait of Lincoln
for the Indian head on the cent
marks decided departure. WASH
ington opposed the use of his por-
trait on the coins of the United
States. The senate favored placing
the portrait of the president on the
silver dollar and many busts were
made of Washington by the engrav,
ers in 1891 and 1892, but none were
ever approved by him and the head
of Liberty was finally adopted
The majority of the early American
statesmen regarded such use of q
portrait as a manarchial practice

reduction in the wages of steel
workers whose numbers run up in

For many years ivory manufacturers

turning out a billiard ball as nearly
perfect as possible and at the same
time avoiding waste. Among those
who strove to perfect such machine
was Mr. John Carter of the firm of
John Carter & Son. well known ivory
manufacturers. One night. after Mr..
Carter had been striving to solve the
problem for some time. he suddenly
awoke his wife by shouting out, 81

The Noise Habit.

A personal experience first showed
the writer the possibility of state of
affairs where the habit of noise could
become as fixed as the habit of drug.
Waking one night in the quiet of a
country house far from other habita-
tiops, suddenly heard the starting of
the hot air engine which pumped the
water-chug. chug. chug, chug. l lay
listening to its mOnotonous vibrations
and wondering at the unusual hour
for pumping until fell asleep. The
next night the sound was repeated.
On mentioning the matter to my host
he confessedthat he could not sleep in
the quiet of the country; that the sud
den change from the roar Of a great
city to the silence of the woods was so
great as to cause him real suffering.
AS his only way to rest he would leave
the house in the middle Of the night,
start up the pump and, lying down in
nearby hammock, find sleep brought
him by the lullaby Of the hot air en-
gine. That man recognized that he had
the noise habit and finally conquered
it.-Hollis Godfrey in Atlantic.

What Yeomen. Were,

Yeomen were formerly considered to
be by their title on level with es-
quires, and they were called yeomen
because, in addition to the weapons
proper for close engagements, they
fought in the wars with arrows and u
bow which was made of yew; hence
the word. After the conquest the
name of yeoman, in reference to the
original office in war. was changed to
that of archer. The term. however.
was continued with additions-the yeo-
man of the crown, of the chamber,
yeoman usher, etc.--and we find that
considerable grants were bestowed on
some of them. In the legal view a
yeoman is defined to be one that has
fee land of the value of 40 shillings a
year and is thereby qualified to serve
on juries. to vote for knights of the
shire and to do any other act which
the law may require. The yeomen al
ways took leading part in whatever
concerned the regulations or interests
Of the kingdom. and their renown as
warriors is fully established by their
numerous heroic achievements.-Lon-
