the leather schedule was adopted by
both houses.
President Taft arrived at the capitol
at 4:45- p. m, and entered the Presi-
dents room. His appearance there,
the first since being President,
caused congressman to form in line
to be received by him. There was
constant procession of handshaking
statesmen through the Presidents
room from the time of his arrival un.
til his departure at $50 o'clock.
At six minutes past five the Payne
tariff bill, as the measure will be
known, was laid before the President
He picked up pen supplied by chair
man Payne, which had been used by
both the vice president and the speak
er in signing the bill, and attached
his signature.
After writing William H. Taft" the
President added: Signed minutes
after 5 o'clock, August 5, 1907
w. H. T."
AS the senators, one after another,
filed into the room, the President had
something of personal nature to say
to each, and good nature appeared to
be overflowing.
The concurrent resolution amend
ing the leather schedule of the tariff
bill was adopted by the house without
dissenting vote.

dallied. For two years he had lived
In the light Of her presence and
hadn't opened his mouth to tell her
how he fe't about it. He had always
meant to do &c, but lie was shy.
Never In hts madiest dreams had he
pictured ANY other girl wearing
orange blossoms and tulle veil for
him. And now

jenkins! But he was honest enough
TO admit that he would have been
just as enraged and upset no matter
who had h"en his lucky rival.

COMEDY OF
A SICK FRIEND

He came In very defiantly, with a
set look on his face, like a man who
contemplstes an unpleasant crisis in
his career and yet is trying to per-
suade himself that he doesn't care a
hang anyhow. And to his surprise
his little wife ran right up and
kissed him.
"Your slippers are by the side OF
tho Morris chair, John" she cried;
dinner will be ready In a minute!"
And then fear frizzled him and
discontinue dished him and he
moodily regarded his slippered toes
and once more rehearsed the inge-
nious excuse about a sick friend
which he had framed up to deceive
his loving wife and to explain the
scandalously late hour and condi-
tion in which he had returned home
the night before.
