VIZ WASHINGTON.-F H. Hitch.
w cock, postmaster general, is the
sartorial masterpiece of this admins
tration. 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
no 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 we'll. 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 q
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 correctly tailored
mans hose must match his necktie.

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 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 bIeached, 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"

All Over.

While work on a new building was
going on in a southern town not long
ago an old negro employed as a hod-
carrier suddenly slipped while near
ing the third story and plunged head
long to the ground. Several passers-
by rushed over expecting to find a
man dead with broken neck, as the
old fellow had struck squarely on the
top of his head. Finding the old man
still alive some one emptied the con-
tents of a whisky bottle down his
throat. In few moments the old
negro sat up and looked around.
How do you feel now, uncle"
asked a bystander kindly.

Hitchcock Is SartoriaI Masterpiece

Mr.. Hitchcock is plainly the original
man for whom the tall, shimmery silk
en- tile was invented. II has long been
contended by scientifically inclined
persons that there must have been an
original excuse for inventing that
awful production of headgear. There
must have been man on whom 1t
looked good, comfortable and home
like. That man has been discovered.
He is now postmaster general.
The F street tailors are said to
study Mr.. Hitchcock with great care,
in order to know just what is correct
recherche, they call it. The man
who makes the Hitchcock clothes
would be assured a fortune II he were
allowed to advertise the fact There
are sacks, frocks, cutaways, long and
short; tweeds, plaids, broadcloths,
worsteds; but all are in up-to-the-
minute fashions, with just touch Of
the distinguished, sometimes even Of
the daring, to force attention which
must always be tinctured with ad-
miration. Shoes always are selected
to match the rest of the outfit.
George Won L. Meyer, secretary OF
the navy, has his clothes made in Eng
land, while it is avouched that Mr.
Hitchcock's are all of domestic produc
ton. The secretary of the navy is q
splendidly tailored person; but in the
competition between him and the post
office department the American tailors
! win in a walk.

Senator, Unknown, Defends a Negro

When the senator and negro ap-
peared together in court Judge KIM
ball demanded:
''Is this defendant represented?
Il am here to represent him." said
Senator Smith, modestly, rising.
Neither the court nor anybody else
in particular knew him.
Name, please?" demanded the
court.
"W. A. Smith" replied the cenator.
Admitted to the bar, are you?"
Yes, your honor"
The court grumbled. and finally
started the trial. Smith took charge,
calling up his witnesses, of whom he
had number.
Lawyer w. A. Smith, when the case
was all in made little speech, and
the court acquitted the man. Smith
and the client left, and just then a
newspaper man who had wandered in,
conveyed to the court the information
that the lawyer was Senator Smith
The court recovered in time to take
the next case, but there was some
slight excitement over the discov.
cry.
Senator Smith, meanwhile, is in,
teresting himself in the methods OF
the Washington police, and some even
more interesting developments are

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

got into trouble. Senator Smith
thought he had arranged with District

Pataud jumped into prominence in
1907 when he startled Paris by plum
ging the gaily lighted city into utter
darkness. The pride of Paris-her
boulevarGs-took on the appearance
of country streets and their grandeur
and magnificence were made gro
tesque by hastily devised means OF
lighting. After short experience Of
this inconvenience the authorities
yielded to Pataud's demands.
In June last he made another at
tempt, but the previous lesson was
still fresh in the minds of the authori-
ties and they quickly acceded to his
demands. By this time, however, many
hotels, clubs, shops and newspaper Of
fees, realizing their inability to cope
with man who, by word, could
plunge the entire city in darkness,
planned to place themselves beyond
his autocratic control. They provided
themselves with electric lighting
plants of their own, and rested con-
tent, believing that so far as they were
concerned they were safe. Nonunion
men were placed in charge of the
plants and the proprietors were in a
position to defy Pataud.
Pataud was born in a small town
outside Paris in 1869. His parents
were poor and his early life was full of
privations. He had little or no school
ing and was put to work while still
young. His parents selected the trade
of bricklaying for him, but he pre-.
ferred electricity and entered an cleo
trical shop, While yet boy he organ
lied the employees and as their spokes
man secured better pay and shorter
hours from their employer. News oi
his success spread rapidly among the
workmen of Paris and five years age
he was made the ruler of the electri
clans trade union.
