The Picture In Disguise.

Of the strange vicissitudes through which many of the worlds famous pic lures have passed, perhaps none was odder than that of "the Picture fl Disguise" magnificent painting that now adorns the residence of Lorf Leigh in Warwickshire, England.
 This remarkable picture for many years appeared 10 be merely a paint ing of flowers. The floral study was however, finally pronounced by al astute art dealer to be Tn reality 7 mask for another painting. With the permission of the owner he caused thu painting of flowers gradually to be re moved, whereupon there was discov cred underneath very fine portrait oi Charles I. by Vandyke.
 While no authentic record of thi. masterpiece has been found. It is sup posed that the portrait was disguised by some royalist in order to guari against It's destruction by roundheads turing the revolution. .--The Sunda' Magazine.

PRESIDENT WILL
WIN ON TARIFF
REVISION DOWNWARD SEEMS AS.
sURED ON IRON ORE, OIL,
HIDES, COAL, LUMBER.
CHANGE OF Sentiment
CONCLUSION OF CONFERENCES
ON WOOL SCHEDULE sATIs-
FIEs WYOMING SENATORS.

Washington.-President Taft will
Of duty on raw materials.
Nearly every member of the confer
| ence on the tariff bill conceded this
Saturday.
The indications are that when the
new tariff bill becomes a law the
rates on the articles which the Presi-
dent desired to come in free will be as
follows:
Iron ore, free (present rate 4Oc per
toni.
OIL. free (now protected by counter
vailing duty).
Hides. 7k per cent ad valorem
tpresent rate, 15 per cent?.
Coal, 45c per ton (present rates 67c).
Lumber. probably slips on rough,
with senate rates on finished. This
would be material reduction through.
out the lumber schedule.
1t was not believed the President
would be able to put hides, lumber or
coal on the free list; but it was ac-
knowledged that any reduction in
rates of the pending bill on these art
icles would amount to an administra-
tion triumph.
In effect the President was told by
the conference committee that If iron
ore, oil, coal, hides or lumber were
put on the free list, or the rates re-
duced below the figures adopted in the
Senate, 'he would have to get the
votes"
1t was recognized that it would be
impossible to put hides, lumber and
coal on the free list if the conference
report was to be adopted by the SEN
ate. Neither was 1t believed rates on
these articles could be reduced.
That change of sentiment has
taken place in the Senate in the mat
ter OF free iron ore and free oil was
matter of common gossip about the
capitol Saturday.
1t was stated just as confidently
that the Is per cent. ad valorem rate
on hides would have to be cut in half.
The conferees on the tariff bill have
reached conclusion on the wool
schedule. Under the agreement the
Dingley act rates on first, second and
third-class woods will be maintained
unchanged. There is a change on tops
and a reduction in cheap yarns.
The committee also lowers the
duty 8 per cent. on importations OF
cheaper grades of dress goods consist
ing OF mixture OF cotton and wool.
The changes and reductions, Senator
Warren states, in no manner injure
the wool growers. They were not
consented to by the Senate conferees
until after the assurance was received
from Senators Warren, Carter and
Smoot that they would be acceptable
to the wool growing states.

Why the Visit Was Brief.

He was a bright little boy and his
mother had taken him on visit.
"Ostend," said the hostess before
supper, do you have grace at your
house?"
Eyes, ma'am," responded the little
boy without hesitation.
His mother looked up in astonish-
ment.
"Why, Ostend aren't you mistaken,
dear?"
mo, indeed, ma. Didn't l hear
gentleman with a bill tell pa the other
day that he had 80 days grace?"
And then amid general confusion
Ostend was hurried home.
