When they were building that new tariff bill,
among other thoughtful provisions for our comfort
was an increase in the duty on lemons.
There two ideas in the increase. First, by
putting higher tariff on lemons AL drich Chat
staunch friend Of all, see Taft's Boston speech)
could certain western senatorial votes for the
high wool schedules and other subsidies for New
England; and secondly, nobody would be affected
except all Of us who would have to pay about so
cents per 100 pounds more for our lemons.
But still we could get lemon and then. Mr..
Aldrich didn't put them entirely out ef our reach.
Well, the lemon tariff was raised, and those
staunch patriots Senators Flint and Perkins of Cal
iforna dared go back home on the excuse that the
people of California had gotten share in the loot.
And now comes the Southern Pacific railway
(than which other railroad can haul lemons from
California; and raises the freight on lemons Only
Is cents hundred, to be sure; BUT having raised
on lemons, the s. p. schedule all citrus fruits
must be raised or the interstate commerce commits
sion will be suspicious.
So the pap that Aldrich promised southern Cali
forna goes instead to the Southern Pacific railway
And we will all 'pay the freight
Insurgents LaFollette, Bristow, Cummins and
others incurred the presidential wrath by voting
against this little tribute to the s. P.
And Senators Piles and Jones of Washington,
by voting with Aldrich, helped the game of robbery
along.
But
The pauper lemons of Europe no longer threaten
our freside.
And the Aldrich tariff bill had enough pap thought
votes to pass
And the solidarity of the party is preserved
Who's kicking?

saw growing all along the road
side tall stalks of goldenrod. They
stopped to gather some, and while
Ruth was plucking it her mamma
told her how it happened to grow.
1t seems that one day while

butterfly, he lost his long golden
wand. All day long he hunted for
it, but the next day when he rode
the butterfly over the meadows
he found little girl admiring a

saw that it was his wand which
had taken root and grown up just

pretty that he decided to let it

Some Fads Fashions and Home Hints for Wone's
CHAT ABOUT COATS

With the first warning chill of
September, shoppers crowd to the
cloak departments. For the ex-
perienced know well that early
models are choice models; and the
first fittings can be much more
carefully made than late fittings
hurried through under pressure of
a crowded work room.
The separate coat, the most con-
venient and comfortable of gar
ments, is one of this seasons most
attractive features.
These new coats are anything
between hip and full length, the
latter being found even in suit
coats. 1t is the figure which must
always determine the length OF
the coat.
Coats with panel backs are very
smart-on slender figures. But
the heavy woman will look warily
at these seamless flat French
backs before investing her money
ihO icNViJ uliCtbOtit mOuOic Will
large pockets and revers depend
for their style on the carriage OF
the wearer.
Military lines and designs ap-
pear among early showings, and
these are charming indeed on a
figure well set up and slender;
for the limp, they are decidedly
not to be considered. The coat
with the plated skirt is designed
to wear with the new killed yoke
skirts.
Wide vale materials, nobby
homespuns and basket weaves are
materials shown among the early
choice coats. Cancels hair, soft
and durable, is found in elegant
garments. A novel long coat in
gray came1s hair is cut with sep
arate skirts attached to a rather
short waist; 1t Is trimmed with
buttons of velvet.
