BE PATIENT WITH THE BOY.
You Can Never Tell How Great He
Is Destined To Be.

From an Article by Gilbert Herbert
have a profound respect for boys
Grimy, ragged, tousled boys in the street
often attract me strangely. A boy is a
man in a cocoon-you do not know what
it Is going to become-his life is big with
many possibilities. He may make or I'M
make kings, change boundary lines be-
tween states write books that will mold
characters or invent machines that will
revolutionize the commerce of the world.

Then there was that Corsican boy, one
of q goodly brood, who weighed only so
pounds when 10 years old who was thin
and pale and perverse, and had tantrums,
and had to be sent supperless to bed, or
locked in dark closet because he would

that he would have mastered every phase
of warefare at 26; and, when told that

wrote the opinion granting my petition.
Yesterday l rode horseback past field
where a boy was blowing The lads hair
stuck out through the top of his hat,
his form was bony and awkward; one
suspender held his trousers in place; his
bare legs and arms were brown and
sunburned and briar-scarred. He swung
his horses around just as passed by. and
from under the Tapping brim of his hat
he cast a quick glance out of dark, half
bashful eyes and modestly returned my

off my hat and sent God bless you

I may go to that boy to borrow money

DRUMMING OF THE sNlPE.

From Country Life.
One of the most remarkable OF plro
sounds is the so-called drumming OF the
snipe. The noise is difficult to describe
and is often compared to bleating. The
snipe, In fact, has been called the bleater.
Tennyson used the word hum speaking
of 1.-The swamp where huns the snipe.'
1t is now generally agreed that the
noise is made by the vibration of the
tail feathers writer, however, care
fully watching the snipe during the
flights in which 1t makes this remarkable
noise is convinced that the wings assist
In its production. This seems exceedingly
probable, since the wings are seen to be
in actual vibration during it's emission.

NAVAL PAGEANTS
WILL TAKE PLACE

London, July 22.-The summer of 1909
will be remembered as a season of naval
pageantry. Last month the greatest as
semblage of war craft in the history of
the nation took place off Portsmouth. This
week the same ships entered the Thamas
and the public was able to see the largest
fleet that ever anchored so near to Lon
don. On Saturday the ships will gather
at Portsmouth, where, on July 81, they
will be reviewed by the King and on the
following Monday the Emperor of Russia
will have an opportunity to see them
when his yacht comes to Cowes for the
meeting with the King.
This mobilization of fighting craft will
add much interest to the season at Cowes.
The royal review will be exceptionally
brilliant. The ships will anchor in six
lines along the waters of the Solent, from
East Cowes to Stokes bay.

an increase over the present law of Sc per

when it is considered that the duty on
steel rails is SO so per ton, and their mar
ket price is SIS per ton, the proposed duty
upon a form of steel which sells for S35
per ton is wholly indefensible. Free iron
ore is a very desirable thing, but when
the welfare of the consumer Is taken into
account 1t would be vastly better If fair
rate can be secured on but one of these
items to allow the duty on iron ore to
go at 25 cents per ton and cut the duty
on structural steel to So or Sc per ton,

CUMM|NS SPEAKS
FOR INSURGENTS
Statement Defining Attitude on
Tariff Is IS.ued
DUTIES SHOULD BE LOWER
Senator cummins Explains How
Schedules Are Formed and Shows
That Rates Are Not
Fair To Everybody.
DUTIES SHOULD BE LOWER

Washington, July Ex-senator Cummins
of Iowa late today made public a state
ment which Is accepted as representing
the views of at least a majority of the
progressive republican senators relative
to the present situation with regard to
the tariff bill.
Previously Mr.. Cummins had been in
consultation for two hours with the Pres
ident and an exchange of views had
passed between Mr.. Cummins and others
of the 10 who voted against the tariff
bill in the Senate.
The pronouncement is evidently intend
ed to meet the idea that the President
and the downward revisionists would be
content with free raw materials.
II inderse every word of the statement
recently made by the President and earn
estly hope that he will be successful in
bringing the conferees to his views" said
Mr.. Cummins. who then called attention
to the fact that especial emphasis has
been placed upon the so-called raw ma
terials.
"I feel compelled" said Mr.. Cummins,
ito remind the public that neither the
SO confined" He then proceeded:
Protective Point"
while it is of the utmost Importance
that iron, oil, hides and coal be dealt
with as proposed by the President, it is
of still greater Importance that the duties
on manufactured products shall be
brought down to somewhere near the
protective point. 1t will be of little ad-
vantage to the body of the people to do
away with unnecessary dutits upon raw
materials if the manufactures are per-
mitted to enjoy the excessive duties that
enable them to make extortionate profits
upon the things that the people must
buy and use'
Mr. Cummins says that those who
have been contending for lower duties
can afford to surrender a part of their
Just demands IL they can in the main OBJ
tain the reductions which ensure the peo-
pie against undue prices in the chief COM
modities of commerce.
In the bill as 1t left the Senate. he says,
the reductions in the steel schedule gen.
orally are not sufficient yet the schedule
might be accepted, but for the increase on
structural iron and steel.

A Gunnery Experiment,

About twenty years ago army of
fcer named Edmund L. G.. Zalinsli. then
captain. invented a pneumatic gun
dynamite a considerable distance without
a report 1t was hailed as wonderful
implement OF war, as Fastening the day
OF universal peace through the increasing
of the terrors and destructiveness of
strife. The public, always alert to appre-
ciate the possibilities of new weapons.
clanlored for the emplacement of pneu-
matte guns along the coasts. The ma
tional sense Of power was aroused and
pictures we're drawn OF hostile foreign
fleets destroyed without smoke or sound
of discharge as tons of high explosives
were dropped from the sky upon their
decks unheralded by the usual signs Of
attack. Congress was so far impressed
by the new idea of making dynamite blow
guns that 1t appropriated a large sum
for the construction OF warship specially
designed to utilize the Zalinski invention.
This ship was appropriately named the
"Nesuvius." She was none other than q
three-barreled popgun. The pneumatic
tubes were rigidly fastened and pointed
upward at the vessels bow at an angle
OF about twenty degrees. 1t was the
ships position and to regulate the range
by increasing or reducing the air pressure.
The experiment was not successful. The
dynamite exploded with tremendous
havoc, but accuracy of aim was impos-

verses all this and puts you on your
guard In that quarter he is denounced
as part tyrant and part tool. Long serv-
ice in Congress has made him Indifferent
to the peoples interests. He has grown
away from them, and to love power. He
takes his cue from predatory wealth, and
first wants to know what wealth desires.
In the chair he makes for government of
the few against the many.
1t is important to remember that Mr..
Cannon's enemies are not found In the
opposition party. Leading democrats who
know him from personal and official con-
tact admire and trust him. They pay
tribute to his excellencies and integrity,
and think his honors and influence have
been well won. They want him shorn Of
power, not because of a misuse OF power.
but because such power is against their
temporary interests. They themselves
have bestowed the same power on a
Speaker of their own and at the first OPP
portunity will do so again. They are
playing poIitics-and horse" with the
republican insurgents. The play has but
begun, and may continue through the
three sessions of the present House. and
therefore will be worth watching as 2
political maneuver.
In accepting his fourth caucus nOmina-
ton to the Speakership Mr.. Cannon well
said that 1t is the judgment to come after
passion has passed that public servants
in shaping their conduct should consider.
He himself can very comfortably wait for
that. 1t is likely to do him justice. An
intelligent constituency in one of the lead
ing states of the Union would not have
kept an unworthy and incompetent man in
commission for third of a century, and
the most successful political party the
country has ever known would not have
elected such a man four times running to
the second most powerful Office under the
government. Mr.. Cannon need not, and
apparently does not fear history.

ism for controlling the air pressure was
not always reliable. The 'Vesuvius' was
soon forgotten by the public. for the diri-
gible torpedo at just about that time be-
came a potential factor in naval warfare.
Maj. Zalinski. who had been retired from
active service for some years, has just
died in New York. He lived to see his
invention discarded and by a great ma
jority of people forgotten. Other men.
working along different lines, produced
death dealing devices more powerful and
accurate and more secret in action. Not
only the drigible torpedo has been
evolved, bit the submarine torpedo boat
has taken place as a part of the naval
equipment. 1t is an interesting fact that
the "Vesuvius" has been fitted with tor
pedo tubes and is now on special service
as a torpedo practice ship. Thus. although
