Observed
SEASON OF lent

Willis Bass, business manager Of
the Elleford Company tells clever
story that is very appropriate now In
the Lenten season. He was ahead OF
his attraction at Ventura, Cal. last
year during Lent, and on the night of
his arrival In town, colored concert
company was holding forth at the the.
atre, The towns population is made
up largely of Catholics, and as they
were observing the season, the house
was very light to hear the "culled
brethren" The man who was on the
door heard several people remarking
something about Lent hurting tho
business" After settling up the re.
ceipts of the house he went back on
the stage to turn over the cash to a
colored lady who was the proprietor.
When she saw the box office statement
and the size of the house, she eX.
claimed, my, Bill, that's light, what's
the matter?" The door-keeper
scratched his head and replied. 81

dens by reason OF the pure food law
which has made candy cost mofe than
ever before.
Cocoa, crude, from the free list to
the dutiable at four cents per pound.
Cocoa, prepared or manufactured.
valued at not over fifteen cents per
pound, increased from two and one
half to five cents per pound. Valued at

Spices, Increases all along the line:
generally, they are raised from the
free list to about thirty per cent adj
yalorem.
Fancy soaps, from fifteen to twenty
, cents per pound.
Who shall say that feathers are lux.
uries, Just because men don't wear
them? Nobody but this mean Mr..
Payne. He thinks they're luxurics, and
increases them thus:
Feathers, from fifteen to twenty per
cent al valOrem.
Furs, dressed on the skin, from TWEEN
ty to twenty.seven and one.half per
cent ad valorem.
Manufactures OF hair, from twenty
to twenty-five per cent ad yalorem.
Stockings Luxury?
| And stockings. Are they a luxury ?
Doesn't Mr.. Payne, perhaps, think We
need EN-? Is there anything that PEG.
pie use more? There are even some
few men who don't drink beer or whis.
key. or smoke cigars. But those things
don't suffer. Not cent increase in
the tax on the things that men use.
Yet there is increase In the duties on
stockings all the way along the list
with the beautiful silk and thread open
work ones bearing the heaviest burden
OF course. Could anything be meaner
or more inconsidcrate?
And gloves. Think of gloves being
regarded as a luxury! Is there wo
man who doesn't wear EN-? Here,
what this Payne person does in the
way OF increasing the duties:
Women's and chlldren's gloves no,
over fourteen inches in length as fol
lows:
"Schmaschen,' from LIS per dozei
pairs;
"Glace." Of sheep origin, from s2.5C
per dozen: ~

kid OF other feathers than of sheer
skim" from SO per dozen pairs;
all raised to 81 per dozen pairs
and thirty.fve cents additional pei
dozen for every inch of additional
length.
And that isn't all. It's only a littl,
suggestion. They have written some
tokers into the bill that will make Il
harder than ever for the mllliners tc

France at low valuations, so as to save

Mr. Thorne denied that the Trust

Thorne whether he had knowledge OF

replied that he had and that he was

When Mr.. Perkins took the stand he

The question Of the acquisition OF
