TARIFF REFORM OPPONENTS

THE tariff legislation has been the fruitful
L source of some pretty warm arguments
among members of both houses of Congress, in
which some sharp personalities have been in
terspersed; but about the most pointed argu-
ment that has been presented to date was
brought up from Washington by man who
stopped long enough at New York hotel to
relate the story.
One of the radical advocates of lower tariff
was talking to group of Congressman who
were rather lukewarm on the question of tariff
reform, and, after making the conversation
general, he related to them a dream that he
said had come to him the night before, when,
as it seemed in the dream, he was in the lower
regions.
Everything and everybody that he saw was
burning except a number of bodies hanging in
a row one side. Filled with curiosity, he
asked his Satanic Majesty why those bodies
were not consumed.
Oh" was Satan's reply. they some
confounded Congressman who did not know
enough to vote for tariff reform, and they are
actually too green to burn"

preston when imposing sentences,

the Bar" was sentencing man for
the crime of stealing a ships anchor,

drawn by six horses.
The Judge. who could not escape
from his regular formula, pronounced

pleaded guilty to the crime Of stealing
a ships anchor" Then. raising his
voice. he continued with perfect So

The Operators Amendment,

A young man who comes from a
small town up New York state got a
letter awhile ago from young wo-
man he knew up there asking him to
let her know a good hotel at which to
stay overnight in the city, as she was
going to sail for Europe.
The letter came so close to the day
Of sailing that the young man decided
it would be better to wire than to
write letter. He decided, too, that
it would be best If the young woman
put up at the Astor House, convenient
to morning sailing on the American
line.
SO he sent her this dispatch;
You had better stop at Aston
House"
When the operator up in the small
country town got through with tran
scribng the message it conveyed to
the young woman the following illu-
minating advice:
You had better stop at a store
house."-New York Sun.

expense of guards, rs in the case Of
convicts. Superintendent Wlnship will
be supplied with an automobile so that
he can traverse the 900 miles of roads

Cumulative Value Of Good HiqhWays.

Improved roads are breeders Of traf-
fic. Commerce invariably follows the
line Of the least resistance, and rarely
is good road constructed that much
travel is not diverted to it from other
courses. In addition to this. 1t may
almost invariably be found that new
industries. new and greater produc-
tions, spring up along the well built
roads With the added commerce
comes added cnlightenment, added So
liability. enlarged business and more
and more developed and perfected citi-

We're placed on the table he followed
the usual custom Of the man who lives

his napkin. Instantly butler re-

Deep in his discussion, the guest

the butler replaced that. This hap

more. l assure you the plates are per-
fectly clean, and. besides, l have no
