COW oUTTURNs ACROBAT.

HUSUM- Wash. July 2o.-J. T. Ro- rick. a dairyman of Grand Dalles, owns valuable Jersey COW that he is thinking of trying to sell to a circus. Yesterday when he was driving his cattle home from pasture the herd crowded the COW oyer the edge of a precipice 200 feet high. She rolled and tumbled down three quarters of the way. The last fifty feet was a sheer drop, and an eye witness says the milker tur,e6 a complete somer- sault in the air while negotiating the distance and alighted squarely on her feet.
 When Rorick climbed down to the spot he found the COW chewing hei cud in the shade of a tree.

HOW MOLLY SAVED

BY ARTHUR n. GRANT,

Pleasantville had walked up. The cen.
ter of rich farming district. 1t had
grown So quietly that it hadn't realized
that it had outgrown its short dresses,
so to speak. until Henry Graham, the
enterprising maraser of the Yioneer
Electric company In Mildae. eight
miles away, asked for franchise and
contract TO light its streets with
electricity. which he proposed to trans
init from his recently enlarged Mlldale
plant
Pleasantville was divided between a
sense of shame at having so long
been content with oil lighted streets
and delight at the prospect of having
its beautiful elm shaded streets as at.

Thursday evening. Graham had made
the proposition that was fair to Pleas

PRESIDENT UPHoLDs IARIFF
BILL

In his speech at Winona, Minnesota,
the home Of Congressman TarDey. Of
the house ways snd means committee.
delivered last Friday, President Taft
upheId the Aldrieh-Payne tariff bin.
The President boldly asserted that the
insurgents who voted against the meas
age by their action left the Republican
party. Continuing Mr. Taft said:
zone way Of stating what was
done is to say what the facts show
Under the Dingley Law there were
Zg24 items. This included the duriable
items only. The Payne Law leaves
1850 Of these items unchanged. There
are decreased duties on ga items, and
increases on 220. That doesn't give
the full picture. but it does show the
proportion Of decreases TO have been
three times those If the increases.
s.Tn order 10 detrmine the i'm
p~ortanee Of the changes. it il much
fairer 10 take the articles on which the
duty has been reduced and those on
which the rates have been increased,
and then determine FROM the statistics
Row large a part Of the articles upon
which the duties have been reached IN
reduction, play in consumption Of the
country and how large a part those up
On which the duties have been in
ereased play.
"sueh a table has been prepared BY
Payne. than whom none understand
better what the tariff is. For instance
take schedule &C, Of metals. and their
manufactures. The amount TO which
such articles entered into the con
sumption OF the country IS SIPS 600.
whereas the articles on the same shed
uIe on which there have been increases
enter into the consumption Of the
country "a the extent Of only $1,000.
0OG.,'
In his comparison, Taft gave the
following figures: On lumber, de-
crease 1864, 900, 600, increase s31 900.
900; agricultural products, decrease
s4s3. 600 900. increase 100000, 900;
sundries, decrease ST. 19. 00O. 900, in
crease sI01 coo. 900. Taft declared that
the increases were made mostly on
Injuries. In reeapitulating he said:
that there was downward revision On
