 "Can you make breadY was the question put to each applicant.
 Of all the maids who professed to own that accomplishment the mistress chose the one with the frailest hands and arms ~est-
 T don't know about the wisdom of that choice,' ventured a male member of the family. Wouldn't it have been better to pick out sturdier girl?''
 Not at all," said the lady. What we require in this family, above all things, is good bread. We half live on bread. I am confident have chosen good breadmaker A girl with rather delicate hands always makes better bread than one whose fists are like sledge hammers. Bread to be good needs to be coddled in the knead- ing. The light fingered do that in- stinctively, but the heavy handed slam and bang the very life out of the dough."-New York Globe.

Because the citys dog catcher in- sists upon getting rid of worthless dogs by tying large rocks around their necks and throwing them into the Arkansas river, Humane Officer 4. l.. Cason has caused warrant to be issued for John Clements, the dog catcher, and he must appear in Mag istrate L. E. Cheek court to answer several charges of cruelty to animals. The city council at a recent meeting, ordered the police to shoot all dogs held at the city pound ten days and not called for. Chief Stewart stated yesterday that he had such orders, and it was supposed that the dogs were being killed in this manne.. Humane Officer Cason declares that he nas six or seven witnesses who saw the dogs thrown into the river after deadening weights had been tied to them. He charges that sev- eral puppies were thrown into the river but that they managed to swim 10 shore and escaped Four dogs, Cason says, were placed in a sack and thrown into the river before being killed
 John Hope. yard foreman at the Cotton Belt shops, yesterday paid fine in Magistrate Cheeks court for cruelty to animals. He was arrested at the instance of Humane Officer Cason it being charged that he threw muriatic acid upon four dogs which wandered into the shop yards. The owners of the dogs could not be as- certained, but they died from their injuries, it is claimed
 Frank Strobel, a farmer, was ar rested yesterday by Cason on a cruel ty to animal charge. Cason charges that Strobel tied the legs of two year lings together and brought them distance of seven miles in wagon.

THE TARIFF MAkERS.-

The tariff bill that has been ab- sorbing the attention of the country 1y ready for the presidents sigma ture
 It seems almost paradox that the House should spend weeks discussing the bill, which then goes to the Sen ate where it has been discussed for months and finally passed in a radi- cally different shape from that it re- ceived from the House, after which it is entirely remade by the confer erce committee.
 As is the custom where a bill pass es the House in one shape and the Senate in another, il must then be referred to conference committee consisting of eight senators and nine representatives This committee ia whose hands the bill i2 now entrust- d revises the bill from beginning to end and it's report is acted on by the House and be the Senate without de- bate, so in reality the conference com mittee are the real framers of the bill.
 Mr Taft invited this conference committee to a luncheon al the White House last week. and while the de- tails of that affair are clothed in se- erecy. yet it has leaked out that he gave them a very plain talk in regard to the kind of a bill that he is will irg to sign and the Republicans real ize that if their bill is vetoed by Pres i1ent Taft which has been intimatet more than once. that it would meaI the slaughtering of the RepublicaI party al the next election For thi. reason, it .s believed that the tariff bill will be some improvement ove1 the Dingley law.
 The proceedings in Congress durin: the last few months have more thai justified the great speech that MT Bryan made in Iowa last year at tn beginning of the presidential com paign when he warned the countr that the Republican party had re ceived so many favors, by way c large contributions from the protect ed interests of the country, that could not be entrusted with an hon est revision of the tariff in the inter est of the consumer.
 That speech of MT, Bryan's deserve 10 go down in history as an inspire prophecy, as it has been more thai fulfilled in the present session c Congress.
 MT. Taft realizes that if the people are not given some relief. that the Republican party will soon be hurled
