Tempered PRAISE
FOR TARIFF LAW

the future will be between moderate
and ultra protection. 1t is no small
matter that the duties on iron and
steel, lumber and many other articles
have been reduced in the teeth of the
vehement opposition of men interested
in the preservation of h Ter duties.
Men engaged in other protected
industries will advance the same argu-
ment and will gain nothing by it,
"The new tariff law confers many
substantial benefits upon consumers. 1t
contains novel features, notably the
provision for maximum and minimum
duties, which it is confidently believed
will vindicate their usefulness. Under
the new law there will be less evasion
of duties than of old. 1t meets with
President Taft's approval. That should
convince the public of its substantial
merit"

China Shows Advancement.

A curious superstition, prevalent
for centuries in China, will no longer
be officially recognized. The Picking
astronomical board presented a memo
rial to the prince regent recently, re-
porting a forthcoming eclipse of the
moon and recommending the perform
ance of the usual ceremonies. The
memorial was rejected. On the &C.
casion of eclipses of the sun or moon
1t has for centuries been customary
in China for everybody. down to the
meanest subject. to let off frecrack-
ers and cause gongs to be beaten for
frightening off the monster which is
supposed to be swallowing the 'umiE-
airy, and for every mandarin holding
office to burn candles and incense and
PROSTATE himself before the d~arkening
orb.

To Preserve Jack TayIor's Tree.

Passengers on the new railroad
which has been built through the
most southern part of Texas are able
to catch a feeting glance of one of the
most historic landmarks on the lower
Rio Grande border as the train passes
by. Standing like a sentinel in a
large cattle pasture a short distance
from the railroad is a live oak tree
with wide-spreading branches under
which Gen. Zachary Taylor was
camped for several days while on his
way to fight the Mexicans in the lat
ter '40's.
1t is now planned to inclose the
tree with an ornamental fence and to
beautify the spot. The first battle of
the Mexican war was fought by Gen.
Taylor's army and a force of Mexicans
at a point about IS miles south of
here. This battlefield has just been
converted into an irrigated farm. In
clearing and blowing the land many
cannon balls and other relics of the
fight were found.

HAD SYSTEM OF ELEVATORS
Scientist Has Found Proof That
Romans Knew of Labor Saw
ing Device.

Prof. Boni is reported to have made
an important discovery in the course
of his excavations in the Forum, at
Rome. While exploring some under
ground passages near the north ros.
ira of Caesar he found in IL small
rooms or galleries traces of a former
system of elevators.
In each room there are unmistak-
able a of grooves through which
ropes passed n stone supports for
wooden poles that were fl ted VERT.
cally inside the passages. The profes
sor Is convinced that platforms in
stalled in these rooms served to raise
to the surface the gladiators and
wild beasts that participated in the
circus games and that hence they were
nothing else but elevators or lifts
Thus what until recently was consid.
cred a modern invention was used by
the Romans under the republic. There
are no traces of similar elevators in
buildings belonging to the imperial Pc
Rod and in all likelihood no attempt
was made to improve the movable
platforms in later times.

HE WAS TAKING NO CHANCES
Good Reason for Man Sinking Hons
In the Dark and Avoiding
Acquaintance.

In the small hours of the morning a
man. carrying a heavy suitcase. hur-
ried down the deserted streets OF the
sleeping city. His hurried footsteps,
despite all caution, echoed in the quiet
thoroughfare. He shifted the weight
OF the suitcase from one arm to the
other: he appeared nervous and every
sound caused hin to start. His coat
collar was turned up and his soft felt
hat pulled well down vel his watchful
eyes.
The man was sorely tempted to risk
the owEcar. for he mad far to go and
his burden was heavy, but when the
car came with its load Of boisterous
men, singing and smoking, he dared
not venture abroad. Instead he picked
up the heavy suitcase and hurried
down the darkest. side Of the street.
Once he hurried by a man who turned
and CAV him a searching look. He
tried to walk on as though uninterest-
ed. but his knees shook inc his brow
grew cold and damp. for he thought he
recognized the man.
In the shadow of an alley he stood
for a long time until two young men
ended their late visit beneath an arc
lamp and separated for the night. For
an instant the street was empty, and
hurrying across the street the man dis
appeared in the shadow of the porch
of a handsome brown stone residence.
A key grated softly in the lock, a door
opened stealthily. and closed almost
noiselessly.

Character in WALKING.

Walking is almost as common as
breathing. eating and sleeping, yet
there are many people who do not
know how to walk Some loiter along
with a half,dead, half-alive air. while
others madly rush as If but a moment
of time was theirs.
Now, there is much character in
a walk; 1t should embody energy, am
bition and enterprise and at the same
time grace and dignity.
To walk for health certain prepare
lions should be made. In cold wealth
er the clothing should be warm, but
not heavy. The clothing should be
loose, for a tight garment restricts cir
culation. The skirt should be short
and the shoes should be low-heeled.
wide and thick soled.
Deep breathing goes h~and-in-hand
with walking, and 1t is a good habit to
breathe rhythmically. counting the
while.

DEER PLACE FOR LIGHTsHIP

be located 40 miles inland from the
coast they rubbed their eyes and be.

POLICE WOMEN IN THE WEST
Cities of Portland n Seattle Are
Said to Have Found the Inno-
walton Satisfactory.

The cities of the west are never
afraid of Innovations, says the st.
Paul Dispatch. This is one explana-
ton of the existence of police women
in Portland n Seattle. The other ex-
PLANTATION muSt be found in the fact
that these cities have discovered that
police women are needed in the bust
ness of maintaining order and solv-
ing problems of order in the large
cities. The old theory that men are
the criminals and must be policed by
men is giving way before the fact hat
there do appear from time to time
women criminals, and especially be-
fore the fact that women can be saved
before crime fixes them permanently
in its possession.
In Portland there is a woman on
the police force who has done efficient
work in connection with the Young
Women's Christian association an.
other vital factor In large towns in the
ordering of the city. She had also
accomplished much as a probation Off
Ger. Having served her term in these,
the woman was ready when Portland
decided that 1t required a police WON.
an. She is a regular member of the
department. with the same recogni-
ton shown to men. In Seattle there
is also a police woman. although her
appointment is temporary-during the
Alaska-Yukon exposition. In all prob
ability. however. Seattle will find this
one police woman of such value thai
she will be retained.

CONCERT A GREAT SUCCESS.
St. oiafs College Band Made a Big
Hit "Wednesday Evening.

The advance notices of the st. Olaf
College band were none too flowery
and everyone who attended the en-
tertainment at the Bijou will vouch
for that fact. There was just fair
sized house present as the threatening
storm kept a good many away. The
band was fully up to the expectations
of those who saw it and there was
not a flaw in the entertainment Of
fered.
The leader did not SO nearly re-
semble a monkey with jag on as
some of the travelling band leaders
who have struck this city, but his
control over the musicians under his
care was none the less perfect. The
baritone soloist made great hit and
the entire performance was up to
the high standard told Of in the ad-
vance notices published from time to
time in the Tribune.
The band . arrived from the east
and is on. its way to the Seattle ex-
position where they will be one Of the
leading musical Features for the last
few weeks of the exposition. '~
