Heredity.

Tommy was fairly good pupil ex- eept in arithmetic. The teacher no- dced with his home studies that when sums were set he always brought in answers much in excess of the correct amount As this was un- failing he called the boy to him and said: \,
 Tommy, how is it that your sums are always wrong and the totals al- ways too larger
 Dunno. teacher"
 "Does any one assist you with your arithmetic at home? Now. be truth fulr'
 "Yes. sir, father"
 "What does your father do for a liv- ing?"
 Hes waiter. sir"
 "Ah." said the teacher, 'that ac- counts for il. Go back and sit down."

Field and Nye.

Eugene Field was a great lover of old books and quite collector of them. His means were not adequate to his desires. however. and one of the quaintest proofs of this was slip of paper found by q purchaser of an old volume in Fields handwriting, evi- dently an impromptu verse:
 Kind friend. for goodness sake forbear To buy the book thou findest here, For when I do obtain the pelf
 mean to buy the book myself.
 Another bit of rhyme which is thor oughly American is in the preface to one of Bill Yves books. It runs:
 Go little booklet. go.
 Bearing an honored name.
 Till everywhere that you have went
 They're glad that you have came.

MEAT DUTY MUST GO.
Baltimore Butchers Insist That This
 Is the Only Remedy.

Baltimore Butchers insist mat Ihis
 Is the Only Remedy.
 The Baltimore Butchers Abattoir and Live Stock company decided unan- tmously at a meeting held on April 14 that the only way to bring down the price of beef is to take off the duty of 271s per cent on live, cattle and allow of free importation from Mexi- co, Canada and South America.
 That is a remarkable pronouncement. coming from the butchers. They hap pen to be close to the people, and the people naturally vent their anger upon them, thinking that they are to blame, but they positively state that they make smaller profits now than when prices were lower, declaring that the beef trust reaps the advantage.
 One of the representative butchers made the following statement:
 "The packers bought on shares last fall. They were able, owing to exist ing conditions, to purchase at req sonable figure. Cattle food was at that time high, and the cattle pro- ducers were anxious not to carry their CtOSh ONCA 0ulAa6 thC W2hICAs LID gave the meat trust the advantage of the situation, and the producers cared for the herds on provender supplied by the trust during the winter.''
 The association will again meet shortly, and it is its intention to take the matter up with Maryland's rep resentatives in both houses of con gress. In this action 1t will have the bulk, of the consumers with it. It is well seen by this time that the duty of 273 per cent on live cattle and the duty of 1Hs cents per pound on fresh meat. do not benefit either the consumer, the farmer or the butch CT, but only the trust.
 When the matter is brought before congress it will be interesting to see who are the congressmen who repre- sent the trust rather than the people.

A True Prophecy.

Senator Gore of Oklahoma would dis claim the title of prophet, but he cer tainly showed true prophetic wisdom when the Eyne-Aldrich tariff bill was being put through. Speaking in the senate on Aug. 5. 1909, a few minutes before the final passage of the bill, he said:
 ''I anticipate perfect saturnalia of high prices during the coming months. The panic and the cessation of busi- ness have but whetted the avarice of manufacturers and monopolists.''

Champion Maine Builder Comments on
Great Vessels Turned Out Now
adays- His Views.

Bangor, Me.-With a record Of rs
vessels designed and Sc built, John j.
Wardwell of Rockland, is believed to
be the champion wooden ship design
er and builder Of the Atlantic sea-
board If not of the United States.
His first design was made in 1873,
and two years later he took charge Of
the construction of his first schooner.
He was then but twenty-one.
He had the distinction of designing
and building the first six-masted
schooner in the world. This was the
George w. Wells. At the time the
Wells was under construction the six
master, Eleanor A. Percy, was being
built at Bath. but the Wells went over
board first.
When he started work a schooner Of
$50 tons was a good-sized craft, while
the one of 100 tons was a monster.
Today a schooner OF 1900 tons is only
a moderate-sized craft, while the aver
age modern coaster is big enough to
carry $500 or 1000 tons of coal. Said
Mr.. Wardwell in speaking about this
matter:
People get the idea that there isn't
much doing in the way Of carrying
goods In wooden ships these days.
They don't understand 1t. 1t IL true
that ships are not built as formerly,
but one Of the new schooners carries
as much as did an entire feet Of the
old-timers.
Just take the Palmer feet of IA
schooners. Before they lost this last
boat, the Davis Palmer, the combined
carrying capacity Of the IA was about
$4,000 tons Of coal. Now, 1t would
have required about six Of the schoon-
ers OF the type used when | started
working, the kind which people are
talking about when they talk Of the
decline Of shipping. to carry a thou
sand tons Of coal.
ITO be fair. call It i've Of them.
Multiplication shows that It would re-
uuire a feet Of $50 Of the schooners OF
30 years ago to carry the coal which
is Iugged in the IL vessels Of the
Palmer feet
Then there were the three vessels
Of the Crowley feet. including the
