Couldn't Fool Him.

A Morris River oysterman attended
q band contest one winter night in
Morris River The contestants blew
into their great horns as if to burst
their lungs. The drummers banged
their drums with might and main.
Cheeks were red and round like ap-
pies. Eyes almost started from their
sockets. The FISHERMAN enjoyed it
all. But his attention was distracted
by deaf old gentleman who in the
pianissimo passages put large silver
ear trumpet to his ear. Whenever he
did this the FISHERMAN sneered. And
at last his honest hatred Of anything
approaching sham oyercame the mans
reserve. He elbowed his way to the
deaf old gentleman and said:
'Look here; that don't go here. Ev-
erybody knows you can't play that
with your ear. Put it away, mister.
You can't fool us."-Los Angeles Times.

With Interest.

Eyes, | know that certain pasSen-

remarked a rudy faced old man In
the corner Of third class smoker sIt
is only right to reward courtesy, and I
always make it a point Of giving the
guard of this train sixpence when be
comes to see if I'm all right, although
I'm only poor man."
The other passengers, not to be out
done, thereupon dived into their peck
cts, and when the guard popped his
head inside the door few minutes
later he found himself overwhelmed
with silver coins.
e An hour passed, and the passengers
got out one by one until the old man
was left facing a spruce commercial
traveller, who leaned toward him con-
fdentially and asked him how he could
afford to give the guard sixpence ev-
cry time he took a journey.
"Oh. don't worry yourself about
that" responded the, old man. Il dare
say / shall get it back with interest
"How will your"

TOYS Of Revolution Times.

The toys of the French revolution
period were characteristic Of that ter.
rible time. There are tops whose
shadows cast the profile portraits of
Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette.
These are turned in lockwood and are
indeed interesting "reminiscences of
toys with the impress of history. The
children of the revolution had their
tiny Phrygian caps and danced the
horrible carmagnoles in their play.
Little models of the guillotine were
made to "work," and the. bodies OF
pigs with heads of Louis XVI. were
decapitated Models of the Bastille
were popular Playing cards with fig
ures of revolutionary heroes were
made when kings, queens and aristo-
cratic knaves were tabOO.-From '"Toys

Hartman Looks to Congress to Per-
NIT Agreement.
It is reported at Pasadena, CAL, that
r. HI. Hartman is working on q
scheme to bring about mutual un-
derstanding in regard to traffic ar
rangements between all the railroads
of the country.
Some of the railroad men who are to
take part in a conference which Harri-
man has arranged have not arrived. c..
o. Butterworth of the New York Gen.
trail road is expected today.
Hartman was asked:
How soon do you expect the rail-
roads to resume work on the improve
ments that were contemplated before
the panic?"
You may say" he answered, that
as soon as an amendment is passed
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to allow the railroads to
enter into a mutual agreement-that
is, permitting the strong roads of the
country to extend their credit and pro-
lection over the weaker roads.
"At the present time there is a
clause in the law which prohibits one
road having any control over a parallel
or competing line This is what we
want changed. If the change is made
it will mean the employment of thou
ands of men,"
Asked whether this would mean a
reduction in rates, Hartman said he
preferred not to talk of rate reduc-
tons.

by voting down a resolution by Mr..
Dalzell OF Pennsylvania, nla Ling the
unamended rules of the Siytieth con-
gress applicable to those of the pres
ent congress.
Changes Are Analysed.
AS analysed by parliam entarians,
the amendment makes these import
ant changes: First, it establishes a
calendar for unanimous consents"
the effect of which is to enable a mem.
her to have a proposition brought be.
fore the house without having to. go
to the speaker for recognition. This
change, they say, will De relief 20 The
speaker. Second. when consideration
of bill is concluded and the previous
question is ordered the rules hereto
fore have provided for a motion to
commit with or without Instructions 1t
has been the practice to recognize u
member of the majority party to make
this motion and thus prevent the mi
nority from offering such instructions
as it may desire. The new rule gives
the minority the preference in making
such a motion and thus enables them
to get a record vote on propositions
which would otherwise be settled in
committee of the whole house, where
no record vote Is possible. Third, it
protects the calendar Wednesday by
requiring two-thirds instead of ma
jority vote TO set it aside. Fourth, it
is also claimed that the amendment
will have the effect of preventing fa-
voritism by the action of the commit
tee on rules in special cases.
Improvement" Says Cannon.
Speaker Cannon is inclined to re-
gard the amendment as a slight i'm
provement on the present rules, in that
instead Of throwing the responsibility
for recognition on him, it sets aside
certain days for the consideration of
measures under unanimous consent;
but, he says, under the new rules
members will have to wait for those
days.
In the ballotihg for the speakership
Joseph G.. Cannon received 204 votes
as against 166 for Champ Clark, 8 for
Cooper of Wisconsin, for Norris of
Nebraska, and each for Esch of Wis.
consin and w. P. Hepburn of Iowa, an
ex-member. All the Democratic mem
hers voted for Clark, so that the scat
tering vote represented the Republican
detection from Cannon.
One of the most interested specta-
tors during the session was Mrs. Taft,
who remained for four hours.
The senate also convened, but
for some time it's sessions will not be
as important as those of the house.
According to the constitution, the tar
iff bill, which is the end and aim Of
the extra session, must originate in
the house and be passed by that body
before it goes to the senate for ap-
prevail. After it reaches the senate.
what that august body does to it in
committee and in open session be-
comes of importance and interest.
