TO catch tn teeth ~smugglers. But
firm now on ye can launt ye'er teeth
IN tn a iv amy inspector. Ye
don't have to declare thin. Ye don't
have to put thin in tn bottom iv ye'er
thrunk. Ie don't have to have thin
chalked or labelled befure We get off
tn dock. Ie don't have to hand a
five to tn inspector an whisper, I've
got a few b~icuspids that 1 picked up
while abroad. Be q good fellow an
let me through No, sir, teeth are
free.
What other NECESSITIES, says We?
Well. there's sea moss. That's a good
thing livery poor man will apprecy-
ate haVin' set moss to stir in his tea.
Newspapers, nuts and nux vomica are
free. 9e car tax tn LondOn Times
now. But that amt all by any means.
They've removed the july on Pulu. I
didn't think they'd go that far but in
spite iv tn protests iv tn Pulu foun-
dhries " Sheboygan they ruthlessly
articles. Ye know what Pulu is, iv
coorse, an I'm sure yell be glad to
know that this refreshin' biv'rage or
soop is on tn free list. Sinator Root
in behalf iv the Pulu growers iv New
York, objected, but Sinator Aldhrich
was firm. NO. sir ne says, we U
not tax anything that enters into
tn daily life iv tn poor he says.
While not a dhTinkin' man mesiIf, I
am no biggot, an would deny no ar
tisan his scuttle iv pulu,' he says. SO
pull was put on tn free list, an iv
coorse zapper an Alazarin had to go
on, too, as it is on'y by adding thin to
pulu that We can make axle grease.
There was q great s~thduggle over
canary bur-rud seed. Representatives
" tn Chicago packers insisted that
in time canary mur-rds cud be taught
to eat pork chops. Many SinatOrs
thought that tn next step wud be to
take tn jooty off cutie fish bone an
thus sthrike a blow at tn very heart
iv our protective system. But Sina-
tor Tillman, who is q gr-reat frind iv
tn mar bur-rd an is niver seen
without wan perched on his wrist,
which he has taught to swear, put up
q gallant fight FIR his proteges an
thousands il canary bur-rds sang
with a lighter heart that night. Canary
bur-rd seed Will be very cheap this
year and amy American WOrrukin'
man that keeps a canary bur-rd
needn't go to bed hungry. Their
ought to be some way " teachin'
their wives how to cOOk it. 1t Wud
make a nourishin' dish whin we've
Whetted ye'er face on. a piece iv cutie
fish bone. 1t is better fr tn voice
than corned beef an cabbage. I'm
sure that tn reason tn American
Wurrukin' man don't hop around an
sing over his wurruk is because he is
improperly fed.
yes sir. canary bur-rd seed is free.
What else? Lookin' down tn list I
see that divvy-divvy is free also. This
was let in as a compliment to Sinitor
Aldhrich. It's his motto. Be tn
naturalization iv this harmless dhrug
into tn discussion he's been able to
get a bill through that's satisfactorily
to ivryWan. But / am surprised to
see that Spunk is on tn free list. Is
our spunk in~dusthree dead? Is there
0 pathrite to demand that we be pro-
ticted against tn pauper spunk iV
Europe? Maybe me frird William Taft
had it put on tn free list. / see in a
pa-aper tn other day that was
needed at tn White House was a little
more sDunk. But does he have to i'm
port it firm abroad. / ask We? Isn't
there enough American spunk

things that are on tn free list. BAT
there are others. mind We. Here's some
