hardened her heart. Together they set
out to look through their possessions
Often before they had done this. though
never with the same purpose.
They began rather silently in the half
lit parlor, where rare draperies hung
close about the walls and made the floor
soundless to their tread. Here and there
from among them some ruddy copper
vessel sent. like CLEAN of fire, its deep
and changing glow. while in alcoves and
corners the rare and wonderful furnf-
ture of our forefathers was revealed in
graceful curve and simple line. From
the ceiling and in the window arches
some of the more decorative cages hung
pendant, and along the mantei and above
the doors, or in curious corner inches
and cabinets. were displayed a few of
those marvellous bits of glass. created

Mary Chatwood felt her courage weak

INSURGENTS HAVE CHANCE
TO DEMAND TARIFF REPEAL

Washington. April 2.-Action taken
by the house Friday assures the enact
ment of a law at this session making
important changes in the publicity
feature of the corporation tax amend
ment. BY vote of 1872 to 122 the
house incorporated an amendment in
the legislative bill providing that re-
turns made by corporations under the
terms of the corporation tax law shall
be made public only on the order of
the president, in accordance with the
rules and regulations to be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury and
approved by the president.
This provision will be made the
subject of a discussion at confer
enee committee representing the two
houses. Leaders of both houses agree
that it will be made law.
Under this proposition law. accord
ing to Representative Gillette of Mas
sachusetts. its author the publicity
feature of the corporation law viii be
applied only to corporations of a quasi
public character. 1t insures publicity
of the affairs of such corporations as
the United Steel and railroads and
other large concerns, but will be a
safeguard against laying bare affairs
of small concerns of a private char
acter.
The Gillette amendment has not ap-
peared without a fight In fact it
( precipitated a lively debate which
monopolized the proceedings of the
house for the entire day. 1t afforded
an opportunity for the democrats to
place the house republicans, regulars
and insurgents alike, including twen-
/ ty or more who voted against the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bin in August,
1908, indirectly on record as approx
ing the new tariff law

sono Sold for a Lunch.

Apropos of the anniversary of the
death of Alfred de Musset, a Paris
contemporary relates an amusing incl
dent in the life of the poet Three
friends one day had taken a walk into
the country, and, returning, discussed
the prospects of lunch. One observed
that he could eat fine lunch; the
other said a moderate lunch would sat
lsfy his desire, while the third con-
fessed that any kind of lunch would
content him. Unfortunately, funds
we're very low. 81 have a good idea" :"
said one, and he took the other two
to the house of music publisher.
Addressing the publisher, he said:
Monsieur, we have come to ask you to
puy a song. This gentleman has writ
ten the words, this one the music, and
t.ais one the only one who can sing
will sing it." "Sing away" said the
publisher, "and we shall see." The
young man sang, and the publisher
was so satisfied that he acquired the
song for Is francs, and the three
hungry travellers, rejoicing, made for
the nearest restaurant. The author OF
the words was Alfred de Musset, the
musician Maupon and the singer Du-
pree. The song was "Andalusia."

German Garden Cities.

A Berlin society has acquired a
large plot of land on the northern out
skirts of the city for the construction,
under the name of Frohnau, of the
first real garden city of the capital.
The garden city will be built in pic
turesque hilly part of the state forest,
will have its own railway station and
will be laid out regardless of cost as
regards amenities and external adorn-
ment.
Reports from all parts of Germany
Indicate that the garden city has TAX

feature most insisted upon is the
abandonment of the prevailing fat
house, which is here called contempt.

all the features of the amendment.
The democrats got together as soon
as the amendment was reported. Rep
resentative Bartlett clogged the legis-
lative wheel by making the point of
order that the senate in adopting the
Hale amendment, authorizing public
ity on the passage of a resolution by
either house, had infringed on the
rights of the house to originate rev.
enue legislation. Mr.. Bartlett wanted
the senate rebuked, but he was ruled
down. Representative Fitzgerald of
New York then presented an amend
ment providing that the Gillette
amendment should be recommitted
with instructions to the committee to
report in favor of the repeal of the
tariff law.
The Fitzgerald proposal created an
uproad in the house. The insurgents
began to scurry around and for time
it was thought that some of them
might be induced to jump the reserva-
tion and join with the democrats in
passing a vote in condemnation of the
tariff laws. The insurgents thought it
over, however, and came to the con-
clusion that it was neither the time
nor the place to cooperate with the
opposition in discrediting a law which
has been passed by republican votes
and approved by the president.
Speaker Cannon did not rule upon
the Fitzgerald amendment on the in
stant. He asked for time in which he
might find out where he is at" Prec-
edents were consulted by Uncle Joe
and he finally decided that the Fitz-
fierald amendment was out of order
Mr.. Fitzgerald appealed from the de-
cision of the speaker, with the result
that his motion was defeated by a
strict party vote The legislative bill
now goes to the house committee.
The Gillette amendment appropri-
ates $25,000 to enable the secretary
of the treasury to classify, index and
exhibit the returns of the corpora
tions making returns under the law
Republican leaders deny the imputa-
tion of democrats that the party has
taken a back track by its action on
the publicity features of the corpora
tion tax law. They aver that all that
was contemplated by the law was to
throw the light upon the reports of
great corporations of a quasi-public
character. Mr.. Gillette and the house
leaders generally say that the original
plan of publicity contemplated in the
case of the big corporations will be
carried out by President Taft. But the
administration desired to be relieved
of what may prove the revealing of
trade secrets to the benefit of com
petitors.

Browning, but she bore 1t without

that a cheap, unsightly piece of noun

be well entirely to ignore his sligbted

No one knows better than the Light
Company itself that it could nave
better service. We do not claim that
it is the very best It is not as good
as it was year ago. The fact is that
in spite of several thousand dollars
used in increasing the plant in the
last year. it needs many thousand
more to take care of the business
properly. This business is growing
all the time and the present machin-
cry is not adequate to give the best
service. We do not make any claim
that it is.
We do however. want to make the
service the best that there is in this
part of the state. We need larger ma
chinery all through the plant. We are
not so badly off as the water works
and we don OF want TO get in that sort
of a position and we do not believe
that yinita wants us to get in that
shape. We believe that Vinita be-
lieves in the square deal for itself and
FOR the Light company. We are there
fore giving the exact condition of our
plant before we are so overloaded that
complaint is general.
The new machinery which we have
said will be required will cost thou
sands Of dollars to install and 1t would
be little less than foolhardy to place
it in a building with such great fire
risk as the one we now occupy. It
is full OF machinery now, and no more
could be added in the present space.
