said simply. "AIr. Benson is the his

laugh. Il guess dead Rossdales

He rose and stumped heavily out
Of the room to hide his disappoint-
ment, leaving Abbie staring dry-eyed
before her. The tragedy she had
feared had come.
Abbie was oddly quiet at supper
time. She eyed him wistfully as she
set out her best preserves and
watched the plate Of biscuit to sec
that there were always warm ones ct

Dave pushed back his chair and de-

Her face famed scarlet as she
made the suggestion. She did not
look up, but Dave knew that the
kindly brown eyes must be moist
and troubled. The hair was still
softly brown and the thin checks
were unwrinkled. Miss Abbie had
been deemed an old maid at 50.
His glance travelled from the
bowed head to the well-set table, and
he tidy room, and then roughly he
pushed back his chair and went
round the table.

to determine what action shall be taken
by them ON the tariff bin when it again
comes before that body may be held
some time next week Immediately upon
the return to Washington OF Representa-

state, Representatives Davis and Lind
bergh, today expressed opinions hostile
to tbeb,ll in it's present form.
II shall not vote for it, said Mr..
Davis. "There is no way of amending
1T to meet my Wishes" Mr.. Lindberg
expressed himself in similar manner.
ITO my mind" he said, "it does not
conform to the platform pledges of the
party. 1t should be beaten"
Representative Nye who has just re.
turned to Washington was non-com'
initial when questioned on the subject.
The chances are that he will support the
bill. Representative Volstead eaid he
was still hopeful that the bill would be
improved, and il it came out of con-
ference with rates generally reduced, he
SAID he would vote for it.

Ralph Shull, a prominent young
lumberman of Minneapolis was sen.
fenced to five days in the work house
by Judge g. L. Smith for automobile
speeding. This nuisance is becoming
so general, that drastic measures are
necessary. Young Shull. before being
taken away to serve his time said:
II realize that the court was right
in sentencing me, but the notorlety
grieves me for my tamlly's sake. Judge
Smith Is right. Speeding must be
stopped and unlucklly I was the one
who should set the example. There
are lots Of speeders, and sooner or
later they must take the same medl-
cine if they don't STOP
'.At first I thought Of appealing my
case, bat then, what's the user IL I
can aid in stopping the nuisance by

A charming little novelty from the
cherry blossom land is the well bucket
hanging basket. The chief convenience
of this innovation is to the person who
waters the household plant, but its
artistic aspect is for all.
It consists Of two pretty little pot
terry buckets suspended from pulley.
Each may be pulled very low for wa
tering while the other goes up.
Also from the country of the almond
eyed is new soft green dull pottery,
known as midori ware, fashioned in
the most artistic shapes, teapots, can
dlesticks, jugs, jars, bowls, vases.
From Japan, too, are little candle
lamps. They resemble a real little
lamp, base, shade and all, but burn
only candles.

pie woman, and she should be a girl
who has some ability at brogue and
repartee.
For a costume she should wear
voluminous checked gingham skirt and
waist, a small plaid shawl pinned
across the chest and either big,
round starched white cap or a straw
poke bonnet. A clay pipe in the mouth
will add much Of realism to the make
up, and big red cotton umbrella is a
most picturesque addition to the out
fit, the open umbrella behind and over
the apple woman's head being fine
background for pretty face. -.
For the stand regular pushcart is
the best thing and should be hired or
borrowed. But If this is not practical
BILE good imitation may be made Of a
plain kitchen table, rather low, with
little rim couple of inches high
standing up all around the edges. The
whole stand should, to be really cor.
rect, be painted green.
The stand must be supplied with
real fruit and surprise fruit and i'm
ftatfon fruit. It partakes somewhat Of
the nature Of grab bag. Ordinary
brown paper bags should be used to
wrap the purchases. -
As to the articles to be sold, the plan
best followed would be to divide the
stand into three sections, one for real
fruit and nuts-and candles, one for Inn
1tations and one for the surprises"
The limitations are easily contrived.
Balls Of orange colored string are to
be piled up like oranges; banana

made, stuffed with wool wadding loot

In the form Of strawberries and rad
ishes, tomato and cucumber pincush-
ions and thimble holders made Of Eng
lish walnut shells, opened, the meat
taken out and tiny holes burned
through the shells by a redhot hair
pin, narrow ribbon being slipped
through these holes to tie the two
halves Of the shell together. These
fruits should be piled as neatly as are
the real ones, stick with placard at
The top announcing the price Of each
Variety.
For the surprises" there are many
devices. An orange may be quickly
made Of the proper shade Of cambria,
cut in four pieces the shape Of quar-
ter Of an orange skin and stitched to-
gether. or it may be even more simply
made, though with less lifelike look,
by cutting circle Of nine or ten inches
diameter and drawing up the edge
with needle and thread run around
in long stitches about half an inch
from edge to edge.
Each Of these oranges will contain
some little thing, such as would be

per and then in cotton batting In q

The amount OF revenue raised for
the government by the present tariff,

which that tariff makes the public pay
for what they buy, more than they
would pay under a tariff for revenue
only, is about So, 600, 000, 900. The
difference is one of those forms of &C.
QUESTION which can go by no other
