ALL WANT A SLICE,
Congressman Pou Li1ens Tariff Legis-

the pie counter is desired by us all,
said Representative Pou of North Car
olina in discussing the tariff bill in the
house today, but I have often thought
that our Republican friends get there
quicker, stay longer and are harder to
force away than any class of people on
earth"
Mr. Pou asserted that the Payne bill
was a worse measure than the Dingley
law and charged the Republicans that
''in the teeth of your promise to the
people to revise downward, you have
revised upward" He argued that shoes
should be placed on the free list if hides
are admitted free of duty.
Mr. Pou criticized the wool schedule
declaring that the very necessaries of
every day living have been doubled by
the imposition of the duties provided
thereon. He also said that the duties
on women's and children's gloves have
been increased with the result that ev-

Byrd of Miss. and Fordney of Mich.
Clash in House.

Washington, March 26.-Through a
Representative Byrd
of Mississippi and Representative
Fordney, of Michigan. almost came
to blows on the floor of the house to-
day while the latter was making a
speech on the tariff.
Mr.. Byrd asked Mr.. Fordney if it
were not true that a combination
existed among the retail dealers OF
Mississippi to which Mr.. Fordney's
firm, which is operating in that state,
was a party. Mr.. Byrd added that he
knew whereof he spoke when he
charged the existence of such COM
bination.
s"The gentleman does not know
thing about it," shouted Mr.. Fordney
irritably immediately Mr.. Byrd
made his way toward Mr.. Fordney'
but several Democratic members
stopped him.
Mr.. Fordney apologized to the house
and said that if he had offended the
gentleman from Mississippi it was not
his intention to do so. He added,
however. that Mr.. Byrd could not say
that his firm was a member of lum-
ber trust.

charge and the incident was closed.

The company claims its annual loss

amounts to $4,000 which, it is
claimed, will give the highest tribunal

action of the district court of appeals.
The appeal was allowed. No decision,

A Line of Talk.

Two telephone girls were talking over
the wire one afternoon. The subject of
the conversation was lawn party,
which was to take place the next day.
Both were discussing what they should
wear, and after five minutes had come
to no decision.
In the midst of this important CONVEX
sation a masculine voice interrupted,
asking humbly what number he had.
The lack of reply did not squelch the
inquirer, for he asked again for the
number.
One of the girls became indignant,
and scOrnfully asked:
What line do you think you are on,
'sWeIl," said the man, ''I am not sure,
but judging from what 1 have heard,
should say 1 was on a clothesline. -

Junction City, March 26.-The dis
trict court here is occupied with the
damage suit for $4,000 brought by
the widow of the late Jesse B. Wing
field of this county against DR.. J. G.
McClintock and DR.. w, F. Bowen of
Topeka and Dr.. L. R. King of this city
for alleged negligence in the per-
formance of a surgical operation,
which is eontended to have caused the
death of wingfeld The case has
stirred up much local interest because
of the fact that the operation on
WingfieId was performed on the
theory that he had swallowed a set
of false teeth which were not re-
vealed by the surgical operation.
The taking of testimony was fairly
begun today.
Tried to Locate Teeth.
w. s. Roark made the opening
that the physicians would show that
they used every precaution under the
circumstances to locate the teeth as
Mr.. Wingfeld claimed that he had
swallowed them and that at all times
every care was taken to give the pa
tient the best of care and treatment
under the conditions that prevailed at
that time. He stated that it was i'm
POSSIBLE for the physicians to make
Smore thorough. examination as the
condition of Mr.. Wingfield would not
allow ii. After Mr. Roark had con-
cIuded, the witnesses for the plaintiff
were called.
Judge Zieglasch was the first wit
ness called and stated that he was
Judge of the probate court of his
county. He was asked if the affairs of
the late J. w. Wingfeld had been
turned over to the probate court and
an administrator had not been ap-
pointed.
DR.. I. r. Webking was called and
questioned in regard to set of false
teeth he had made for Mr.. Wingfield-
He said they were made about six
years ago. The plate was made of
vulcanized rubber.
Mrs. ]. w Wingfeld. widow of the
late I. w WingfieId, was then called
on the stand. She told of her husband
Weakening her on Sunday morning the
fourth day of October and telling her
that he had swallowed his false teeth.
She got UP and made a search of
the room to see if he was not mistak-
en-. He said he was in great pain and
lay face downward with his head out
over the edge of the bed, and said he
could feel the teeth in his throat and
thought if he remained in that posi-
tion, he could keep them from going
down farther.
His agony increased and he insisted
that he had swallowed the teeth. Mrs.
Wingfield telephoned to DR.. King and
told him to come out at once. When
DR.. King arrived Wingfield was in
bed and in great pain.
DIR. King made an examination with
his finger and told the family he
thought he could feel a foreign sub
stance in the throat.
When he arrived he said that Mr..
WingfieId was under the influence of
liquor and asked his wife about it.
She said he had been drinking for
about eight days and the day before
he had been drinking alcohol.

general legislation during the extraor-
Ginary session of congress. Senator Hale,
as chairman of the Republican steering
committee, has sent a note to every

The note states that the committee on
the order of business has decided tc

Men Who Fought the Most Wordy
Legal Battle of History.

John w. Gates of Chicago and A.
Z. Stillwen, the Kansas City railroad
promoter, worked harmoniously for
years on various projects. but nine
years ago they fell out and resultant
litigation was started over one of their
pet projects-the building of the Pitts
burg and Gulf railroad system, with
terminals at Kansas City and at Port
Arthur, Texas.
Another strange part about the
affair is that after all the evidence
had been produced at a great expense
the case has been settled out of court
and it Is very questionable if, had the
case continued. the entire evidence
would not have been thrown out by
the court. But it has established a
new record for length and wordiness
which will not soon be equaled. The
tpyewritten pages if bound in book
form would make a stack at least half
again as high as the tallest attorney
before the bar.

Kindness That Is Frozen.

The world is full Of kindness that
never is spoken and that is not much
better than no kindness at all. The
fuel in the stoves makes the room
warm, but there are great plies Of
fallen trees lying on rocks and on tops
of hills where nobody car get them.
These do not make anybody warm.
You might freeze to death for want
Of wood in plain sight of these fallen
trees if you had no means Of getting
the wood home and making a fire Of
it. Just so In a family. Love Is what
makes the parents and children, the
brothers and sisters happy. But II
they take care to say a word
about it, if they keep 1t a profound
secret as if it were a crime, they will
not be much happier than if there was
not any love among them; the house
will seem cool even in summer, and II
you live there you will envy the dog
when any one calls him "Poor fellow"

The Only Permanent Thing

OW that we have become a grownup member of the family
of nations the foreign powers are asking us and we are
asking ourselves the question, "WHAT ARE WE CO.
ING TO DOW Are the foreign peoples yet coming here
in such numbers that we are not yet ready to speak of AMERICAN
STOCK AND CHARACTERISTICS?
Until 1890 we always had frontiers in this country, and then we
got the Philippines as a place to put out a lot of our frisky young
colts to grass. The ONLY PERMANENT THING WE HAVE
is CHANGE. No artistic or lasting work can be accomplished on
this unstable basis.
We have NEVER FINISHED OUR GOVERNMENTS. Ger
tainly our city governments are not finished. I sometimes think that
they are done for, but they are certainly not finished. We have to
admit that the best governed cities are on the other side of the water.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TYPICAL AMERICAN WHO
WOULD NOT BE At HOME ON THE FRONTIER. AMERICANS
MUST SEE TO IT THAT THE THINGS WE HAVE GAINED ARE NOT
LOST BY WHIMSICAL EXPERIMENTS. WE MUST CHOOSE MEN TO
LEAD US WHO ARE SATURATED WITH EXPERIENCE AND WHO
