Take Teller ats sick and laid up on the
shelf,
All shaky and ganted and pore
Jes all so knocked out he can't handle his
self
with a stiff upper lip any more;
Shet him up all alone in the gloom of a
room
As dark as the tomb and as grim,
And then take and send him some roses in
bloom
And you can have fun out o him!
you've ketched him fore now-when his
liver sound
And his appetite notched like a saw
A-mockin' you, maybe for romanein' round
with a big posy bunch in her paw;
But you ketch him. say, when his health is
away
And he's fiat on his back in distress
And then you can trot out your little bokay
And not be insulted. l guess!
You see it's like this what his weaknesses
is
Them flowers makes him think of tho
days
OF his innocent youth, and that mother o.
his
And the roses that she used to raise:
So here, all alone with the you send,
Bein' sick and all trlmby and faint

DIDN'T FIND THE SENATOR

whenever / see the name of Sem
ator Tillman in print" said an old
newspaper man, 81 am reminded of a
little incident that occurred several
years ago when 1 was the editor of a
little paper in a southern city.
Late one night a South Carolina
correspondent wired that he had failed
to get a desired interview because the
senator had taken a train for Wash
ington, but that we might catch him
ourselves when the train passed
through our city. Hastily searching
a timetablei l found that the train
mentioned was due in a few minutes,
There being no other reporter at hand.
l seized Bud Lunkly, a raw reporter
fresh from the country, told him to
meet this train at the station and get
some sort of expression from the sena-
tor on a subject then of much i'm
portance.

ter at hand, l seized Bud Lunkly,
raw reporter fresh from the country,
told him to meet this train at the sta
ton and get some sort of expression
from the senator on a subject then of
much Importance.
Some time later Bud strolled calmly
in and informed me that after per-
sonal search of every car on the train
he had failed to find Senator Tillman
"'Do YOU mean that you looked into
all the sleeping car berths, Bud?'
said 1.
Eyes, that's what I done said Bud
"'But, Bud l exclaimed in conster-
nation, weren't good many of these
berths occupied by ladies?'
Sure, said Bud
"But what did you do when you
found a lady who had retired?
"When [ busted the curtain open
and looked in and woman jumped
up and screamed, / took off my hat
and says: "Thats all right, lady, you
amt the man I'm looking fer!"-Phila-

HE SURELY DID

One day when a great deal was being
said on the floor of the United States
senate on the subject of the tariff,
Senator Hughes of Colorado sauntered
out into the senate cloakroom and
told a group of friends little story
about a tariff discussion between Jack
McComb and Senator Tabor. 1t oc-
CURED many years ago in Denver. Nc
Comb was a Democrat and Tabor was
a Republican. McComb was employed
by Tabor in various capacities. After
the argument McComb met number
of friends on a street corner. 81 have
lust been having an argument with
Tabor on the tariff" he said. His
friends requested that he tell them
about it. "Well, you see," said Nc
Comb, Il don't know anything about
the tariff. and Tabor knows less. So
we argued back and forth, and back
and forth, and finally Tabor said:
'Confound it. Jack. why are all you
Irish Democrats, anyhow And
thought he had me. But | asked, Why
on earth shouldn't we be?' And 1 had

dica, the famous diva, who has
~ Just left for Europe, it is believed,
will make positively her last appear
ance in grand opera late this fall when
she returns to New York to join the
Metropolitan opera company. The
METROPOLITAN repertoire this fall is TO
include a series of Wagnerian produc-
tions. in which Madam Nordica's voice
will be severely tested. She has lost
none of her meodious power, however,
and her prospective retirement, it is
declared, will be due merely to her de-
sire for a home life. She is expected TO
live after retirement at her New York
villa.

Woman's Walk

Next to having shapely feet comes the
habit of using them gracefully" said a pro-
fessor of calisthencs the other day. Watch
the average woman when sitting down. II she
is tall there is tendency to coil the feet
round the legs of the chair or to plant them
on the ground about a foot apart. IT, the
other hand she is small, her feet either dangle
helpessly in the air or the toe of one foot is
rested on the ground and the other foot hooked
round the ankle of the first 1t was not
merely for ease that our grandmothers made so
much use of the hassock. In their days 1t was
demanded that well bred women should sit
with their feet daintily crossed on a footstool
1t would be well if this fashion could be re-
vived, and if in walking the rule were OBJ
served that whenever the feet on the
ground at the same time they should be placed
closely together the heels touching and the
toes turned slightly outward"

SUGGESTIONS IN PACKING

Every delicate garment should be wrapped
separately go
For this towels or sheets of tissue paper VIII
serve, but they should be pinned into place
Folds of newspapers should be placed between
the layers of the more pershable things
The newspaper is very good because ii is so
unfolding that wrinkles and humps cannot
dent 1t enough to max the fabrics beneath.
1t is useless to try and keep all the heavy
things at the bottom. the light ones at the top.
The trunk will probably be stood on end or up
side down half of the time.
All one can do Is to keep a smooth, even sur
face for each layer.
Newspapers are better than anything else for
stuffing out bows and sleeves.
Tie in bottle corks well, and put the bottles
in the middle of compartments, and If packed
soldy they will carry all around the world

THE wide difference of opinion exist
iny between republican aud democratic
tariff experts was shown by figures sub
mItted 10 the Senate on Wednesday.
Senator Aldrich offered statement be
promised the day Mr.. Nelson denounced
the lumber and wooden schedules. AD
army of experts from New York and toe
Treasury Department have been work
Ing on it since that time. 1t declares
that 379 reductions from the existing Law
have been made In the pending bill. he
also supplied list of Increases, seeking
to demonstrate that they were largely
due to changes from ad vslorem to
specific duties and that a great majority
we're of 10 consequence, few being
made for the purpose Of raising revenue.
Senator CuIbelson. the minority leader,
promptly offset the statement presented
by Offering one showing that of l,94S
articles covered in the bill the duties on
$50 have been lowered; that duties had
been increased on Sl6 articles and
maintained without change on l,27l
articles. The percentage Of lower duties,
Mr.. Oulberson AYERS, is 1873; higher
duties, 16. 8; ssme duties, 65.4, There
is little doubt that the discrepancy IN
the two statements will cause debate.

certain that the list of injured bv last
nights accident at the National Guard
Armory here will reach $50 and it is de-
clsred by the doctors at the hospital, to
which the victims we're taken, that
many of them will die. Just how many
are fatally hurt will not be known until
later 10 the day, ss the hospital attaches
are rushed to the limit caring for the
badly hurt. The disaster was at the
finish of the Marathon race.
During the excitement the entire rail
fronting the balcony gave way, and the
thousand or more persons in front
were precipitsted to the floor distance of
seventeen feet. 10 an instant terrible
panic was precipitated. The uniDjured
persons started on rush for the exits,
men and women screaming wildly. while
from the great iumblsd mass of human.
ity piled on the floor of the srmory
came indescribobie means and screams
OF fright aud agony. 1t was fully FIVE
minutes before those In charge got their
heads about them and started to relieve
the tsngle Of terribly injured humanity.
Men aud women were piled In q seem =
ingly Indescribable mass on the aOoy and
maoy of them had suffered broken limbs
while others we're bleeding from scalp
wounds and concessions. II is charged
today that the officers in charge Of the
armory were directly responsible for The
accident, as they permitted the gallery
to become over crowded.
