w cock, postmaster general, is the
sartorial masterpiece of this admins
tratfon. No statistics have been com.
piled on the number of clothes Mr..
Hitchcock owns. Lost in admiring
contemplation of their refined yet
fetching splendor, few have been able
to recall themselves to the mere
mathematical aspects of the splendid
procession of variegated vestments.
Mr.. Hitchcock is one of those men
who wear their clothes WELL He is
particular that they be newly pressed
and carefully busted. He will stop in
the midst of the most serious confer.
ence to draw up the port compartment
of his trousers in avoidance of a
menacing bag at the knee, adjusting
it in the exact position to obviate the
bag at the knee, and yet to prevent
any unseemly wrinkling at the thigh.
Thus elevated, the Hitchcock trouser
invariably displays a modest segment
of hosiery never known to depart from
the rule that a correctly tailored
mans hose must match his necktie.

w LILLIAN ALDEN SMITH of
w Michigan appeared in the police
court the other day in Washington as
police lawyer, defended a colored
man accused. of disorderly conduct,
got him acquitted after an hours trial
and went away with his client before
the court or any of the attendants
learned that the unknown young law
yer was a United States senator.
Then Judge Kimball, who had been
short and sharp in his treatment of the
strange lawyer, almost fell off the
bench.
The case which Senator Smith tried
was that of Robert A. Pelham, former.
ly active in Detroit politics, now a
clerk in the census office here, who
got into trouble. Senator Smith
thought he had arranged with District
Commissioner West to have the case
against Pelham nolle pressed, utsome-
thing went wrong with the works and
Pelham had to stand trial.

Twelve Articles That Pay Most Tariff

reau of statistics show that the share
which customs duties have borne in
producing the revenues of the country
has varied with varying conditions,
principally depending on changes from
time to time in internal revenue laws.
1T must not be supposed, however"
says the report, that because a doz-
en- articles or groups of articles pay
three-fourths of the tariff duties col
lected the making of a tariff and
the determination of rates of duty and
the amount of revenue likely to re-
suit therefrom is by any means a sim
pie matter.
Under the title of cotton cloth, for
instance, the rates of duty on cloths
not exceeding so threads to the square
inch, counting warp and filling, are
one cent per yard if the material is
not bleached, dyed or colored, but IL
cents per yard if bleached, and two
cents per yard if dyed, colored or
printed. If the number of threads per
square inch exceeds so and does not
exceed 100 the rates are still higher
ia cents per square yard on that
which is not bleached, dyed or colored,
and does not exceed six square yards
to the pound, but " cents per square
yard on that exceeding six square
yards to the pound.'
