Immediately after greeting the hostess
the guests address themselves to the
mother or grandmother or aunt who Is
helping the party along, and assure her
how pleased they were to be invited
When the guests 60 away they thahk tne
hostess herself for the pleasure she has
given them and while they are enjoying
themselves they make all the effort they
can to tighten the task of their little en-
tertainer. The boys ask her II there Is
anything they can do when the feast
comes along. and never touch anything
themselves until the hostess, who has
been busy with everybody's comfort is
served.
This little lady everywhere effaces hef
own desires for the comfort OF her guests.

sees that nobody is left to NOPE against

There are many ways of teaching little

through agreeable methods. and about
the incest one which can be suggested is
child's party. Here a little hostess is
delighted To he drilled in the arts re-

THREE TRIBESMEN
 KILLED IN HAND
 TO HAND FIGHT

Especial from United Press.)
 Lapore, India, July 13.-A band of Khost tribesmen killed a sergeant and seven men in a raid on Kaijuri post in the Tooki Valley and were repulsed by the garrison after a hand to hand conflict to-day. Three of the tribes men were killed and a score or more wounded. The tribesmen come down from the hills surrounding Kaijuri and had entered the post before the gar rison was aware of their presence. The tribesmen fought desperately to gain control of the entire post but were driven to the outskirts of the village. There they made a final stand but company of rihemen from lhe post came up to the attack and they were driven to the hills.
 The Englishmen are becoming dis turbed over the recurring frequency of the outbreaks. It is expected that unless strict reprieve measures are taken the disaffection may become general.

So far the 1n- surance company has made no pay ment. DeMartino is making favorable progress at the hospital but will not be discharged for over week.

AFTER $25O,OOO
 MORE ON BEER
Recommends Change in Way of Collecting Duties that Would Mean Addi- tiOnal Revenue.

New York. July 13.-Collector Loeb has made an extra s250.0o0 year for the Government by recommending a change in the, manner of collecting inn port duties on beer that comes from Austria Hungary and Germany to quench the American thirst. The change will be welcomed by the Amer ican brewers.
 adding forty cents to the tax now col lected on every half barrel of beer that comes into the country. The difference will have to be settled by the importer and the exporter ac- cOrding to their own views, because the price of imported beer to the con- sumner is now all that the retail trade can hope to get out of it. It now averages double the retail price of domestic beer.
 The imports of beer from Germany and Austria-Hungary. these being the two nations that make up the bulk of the imported beer competition. amount ed in 1908 to 4,810,97S gallons.
 Where half barrel came along con- taining sixteen gallons. 1t was the cus- tom of the government to take the importation at two gallons less, indi- eating that the brewers had placed less than the full amount in the bar rels to allow for gas or shrinkage in the barrel.
 This pair of gallons of beer thus given a pass into the country for years WdS worth IOTIy cents OI LAX ludl ne1Q never been collected. Collector Loeb, in looking over the situation. found that the governments in which the beer was made made 8 careful inspec- ton of the product and stamped into the barrels in terms of litres the amount of contents. He also found that this original stamping showed that the country was being annually trimmed of $250.0OO in revenue that ought to have come from the beer makers.
 With this information the Collector has made to Washington the recom- mendation that the customs officials be directed to take the stamp of the foreign government as the measure of the United States right to take toll on the product.

 Thomas Gaffney, who was caught prying open the cash box in the tele- phone booth in the Arcade, was sent to jail for one week and was fined $5 and costs.
 Frank Brown was found taking a nan on the triangle near the shirt fac tory, yesterday, by Officer Campana. He was fined $1 and costs.

 Etamps, France, July ls.-The great est aeroplane flight -on record was completed this afternoon by M. Bleriot, the noted French aeronaut,. whose straightaway flight of 2S miles com pleted in 56 minutes is the most mar vicious ever made in heavier-than-air machines. The Wright brothers have been in the air longer and have made flights which for distance exceeded the Bleriot flight, but as they have always flown in a circle over circumscribed field and never attempted cross-coun- try flights, M. Bleriot's air Journey to- day is worlds record one.
 M. Bleriot is soon to attempt a flight across the English Channel from Calais to Dover. for a five thousand pound prize. His flight today was a try-out for lis machine. He started in his aeroplane from Etamps and flew in fifty-six minutes to Orleans, a distance of 2s miles, in the air. By making this marvellous journey M.

The Outrageous Law.
Hartford Courant.)


 It developed a while ago. to the as- tonishment of the most of the people of the state that there was on the statute books a law forbidding a per- son to sell electricity to his next-door neishbor provided they live in twelve chosen cities of the state. If they live anywhere else, they can sell all they can make.
 This iniquitous bit of special 1egis- lation is understood to have had it's origin in Bridgeport. An attempt was made to have the law strength ened' and this fool performance call widespread demand for it's repeal. The Judiciary committee announced some weeks ago that it had voted favorably to the repeal. Representatives or "the interests" are said to say that they are not worrying, for they will kill it in the Senate.
 There is no defense for. the present law Any man who chooses can sell gas to his next-door neighbor, or wa ter, or heat, pr transfer power by a shaft The one limitation is as to electricity, and that limitation is re- stricted to twelve places out of one hundred and sixty eight. Nobody asks the right to cross a street or the prop a monopoly is entitled to is cheerfully granted to electric monopolies. But this prohibition is so mean that it should be wiped off the books at once.
 The Senate has a chance to show the state that the claims so wickedly circulated that monopolies can get whatever they want there are ma licious and unfounded. It has the chance, we remark.
