a'It's curious" said theatrical man. ager who had experienced many ups and downs how the stage develops 1ealousies. l once had show on the road in which it was necessary to make use of a horse and donkey. We got the animals well trained for their parts. and on the opening night they gave first class performance On the following night, however, we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse, went on without any trouble whatever but Jack-that was the name of the .donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights. We finally had to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the matter Nobody could offer an ex- planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up program. which showed that Princes name was print eA in the same kind of type we used for Jack. We got new lot of pro- grams the next day with the donkey's name printed in type which was near ly twice as big as that which we used for the. horse. After that we never

The Great Vidocq.

VidocQ. the great French detective, was born in Aras in 1715. He began life as a baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was q notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 1796 he re- turned to Paris with some money, which. however, he soon squandered. Next be was sentenced at Lille to eight years hard labor for forgery, hat re- peatedly escaped. and in 1908 he be- came conne> ted with the Paris police as a detective. His previous career enabled E:s :. render important serv- Ices. and il' was appointed chief of the safety brigade, chiefly composed of res pr1eved convicts. which purged Paris of the maNy dangerous classes. In 1918 he received a full pardon, and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928. when he settled at St.
 Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became political detective. but with little success In 1949 he was again en- ployed under the republican govern ment. but he died penniless i'll 1857.

The error of clerk involved in a decidedly confusing situation the Ger man gentleman referred to in a story in the New York Times.
 On jury day in the First district court a stolid looking German present ed 10 the justice q certificate from the commissioner of jurors. After a rapid glance at the document the justice or dered the man to raise his right hand and administered the oath
 'Your name is Hcrman Kaufman:"

 You claim that you are alive?"
 "Y-e-s. your honor."
 That will do. Now take this paper back to the commissioner of jurors.''
 The man did so. When the commis- sioner examined the certificate it bore the following indorsement in the jus. tice's handwriting:

TAFT WILL NOT
DICTATE TARIFF
President Tells Congress What He
Thinks-Wants Little Eric
ton on Subject.

Washington, March 30. = President
Taft, it is stated. intends to leave all
congressional matters to congress,
and does not intend to dictate to that
body wha- it shall do. At the same
time he takes advantage of,the calls
by senators and representatives to
state in response to their requests for
suggestions his own position and the
policy to which he believes the Re-
publican party is committed.
1t is too early in the fight, it is said,
for the president to feel called upon
to present specific views as to the
various schedules. The broad general
policy of reducing the tariff on the
necessities of life, the imports that go
to help feed and clothe the great
masses of the people, is the. one that
appeals to the president and the one
which he is said to feel hopeful that
congress will adopt.
Representative Hinshaw after his
interview said that while he was not
at liberty to quote the president, he
felt sure the chief executive would
not object to the statement that he
favored the lowering of duties on the
important necessarily of life.
President Taft, it is said, believes
that the system of taxation to be
adopted to meet the growing de-
ficiency in the treasury should be one
calculated to cause the least friction.
1t is for this reason he strongly IA
vors the inheritance tax idea. The
collection of such a tax is easy and
comes from unearned money. The
fact that several of the states have
got ahead of the national government
in adopting the idea is the only draw
back to the scheme. The govern
ments adoption of the principle would
mean double taxation in some states
and might cause some friction be-
tween the national and state govern
ments. This is the argument made
to the president against it.
The president does not believe that
stamp tax would be a great burden
upon the people. A stamp tax at this
time would not go to the extent of
the war tax imposed in 1898. Such a
tax would be far better. it is claimed
at the White House, than the impos-
ing of such a tax or duty on food
stuffs as would cause unrest and anx-
iety on the part of the general people.
President Taft has let it be known
that he approved the Payne bill in
principle, and that he believes more
schedules in the Dingley tariff should
be revised downward than upward, if
any should go upward at all.
