Ina starlinn,aTonn,,..

It is extraordinary how many per sons are under the impression that, in order to enable bird to talk, it is ab- soluteIy necessary to cut or slit its tongue. I have heard that this fal- lacy had it's origin. in the following story.A%m man had a, number of star nngs in a large cage marked ''Fine Young Starlings = Only Shilling Each,'' and as each would be pur- chaser arrived the man would say, There's a fine bird there. sir,'' point ing out ,oue of them, ''but want half 8 crovnSfor film, because he's the only one with 8 cut tongue, so he is bound to be ta1ker." He would then pro- ceed to catch the bird and show the cut tongue and invariably succeeded in effecting a sale. This dodge would be repeated as each new customer ar- rived and departed rejoicing at his good bargain. The reader perhaps is not aware that. all starlings have a very. peculiar formation at the ex. tren1ity of the tongue, which gives the appearance Of little piece having been shipped out of it-London Strand.

1t was in the town that modern de-
mocracy had Its rise. Despite all the
efforts Of the kings and barons to pre-
vent 1t, the spirit of liberty began to
assert itself in the larger towns In the
shape of the charters which guarantee
to the people certain commercial and
political rights-rights which, once OBJ.
tained, were never to be surrendered
Before the middle Of the eleventh cen.
tury there were many Of these char
tered" towns which possessed the
right of electing their own magis-
trates, sheriffs and judges and regulat-
ing their own taxes. The wretched serfs
from the country were welcomed by
the townspeople and aided to larger
freedom. These free towns were first
known In Spain, from which country
they slowly spread over Europe. The
burgesses naturally offered protection
and freedom to all who would fee to
them from the feudai estates, and thus
slowly, but surely, the good work went
on until the ancient despotisms were
destroyed.

In his book on "The Picturesque St.

the curious superstition Of Montreal

1t seems that one day. while the
church was In process of building, the

COMPROMISE IS
The PREDICTION.
Hope Of. Congressional Lead
ers on Railroad Bill.
NOW up TO THE SENATE

Not Expected Upper House Will Ap.
prove Measure Passed by Lower
Branch, but tho conferees Are Elk.
Pseted to Arrange DIfferenoes-Does
Not Approve Valuation Feature Of
the Bill.
Washington, May 12.-The senate
!, leaders believe they now have .sufa-
Gent votes to defeat the Cummins
amendment to section 9, or at least to
effect a compromise along the lines of
the house railroad bill, which permits
the interstate commerce commission
to suspend any rate, classification, reg
ulation or practice for 120 days, while
the commission is investigating it's
merits. The senate bill provides that
such suspension may not exceed a
period of sixty days, while the Cum
Minis amendment would prevent any
such rate, regulation, ETC., from going
into effect until it had been approved
by the commission. The president
does not attach much Importance to
the physical valuation provision insert
ed in the house bill, pointing out that
the commission has all along pos
sessed authority to- make an investiga-
ton of the physical value of railroads,
but has never had the funds with
which to conduct such an investiga-
ton, and that the house bill does not
provide such funds.
1t is estimated by Representative
James A. Tawney, chairman of the
appropriations committee, that it would
take $10,O00,000 to value railroad prop
erty in this country. The president
expects that the amendment, includ-
ing telegraph and telephone lines
within the provisions of the bill, will
go out in conference. He has re-
ceived assurances of the loyalty of q
considerable majority of the house
and he is confident he can influence
sufficient votes in the senate to effect
the adoption Of a bill which can be
perfected in conference. +
Wants Certain Sections Retained.
He wants sections Is, IA and, If
possible, Is retained and their inclu-
sion in the house bill makes them a
proper subject of consideration in con-
ference. These are the sections which
provide for federal supervision Of the
securities of Railroads.&c. proposition

President Roosevelt
Looming out of the aftermath Of
gossip about the administration rail-
road bill, which the action of the
house puts squarely up to the senate
and to the conferees of the two houses
later is the fiat footed declaration of
the interstate commerce committees
minority leader that the courts will
attend to the rest" and that President
Taft must take what he gets" in the
way of railroad legislation.
Representative Adamson of Georgia,
who had charge of the Democratic
side in the fight on the bill, said that
the worst feature of the railroad bill
was the stock and bond provision.

that could not be. enforced, even if
the senate should leave it in. The
courts will knock it out fought that
part of the measure because OF it's

son that the courts would Immediate
