FOOLED HIS SUPERIOR.

An Astonished Pasha and . Lteu-
tenant who Won Promotion.
Kassim Pasha when minister Of war
for Egypt was very particular in re-
gard to the personal appearance of his
officers and issued stringent orders
that they should never appear I'M
shayen in public. One day he met
upon the street a lieutenant who had
bearded the pasha and disregarded
his orders. ITO what regiment do
you belong?" demanded the indignant
minister ITO the ---- regiment,
at Abasseuh," replied the frightened
lieutenant. Get into my carriage at
once SO that can carry you to the
encampment and have you publicly
punished" was the stern command
which followed.
The young man obeyed, and the
twain rode along gloomily enough for
some time, when the pasha stopped
his carriage and entered an office
where he would be detained for some
time on business. Selling the oppor-
tunity, the culprit sprang from the
vehicle, darted into a neighboring
BARRIERS stall and regained his post
before the return Of his jailer minus
his beard. For the remainder of the
route the offfcer buried his face in his
hands and seemed the picture of APP
prehension.
Abasseuh was reached at last, and
all the officers were assembled to wit
ness the degradation of their com
rade, who all the while kept we'll in
the rear of his chief. Come forward,
you son of o dog!" cried the irate
pasha, when there stepped before him
an officer with a face as clean as a
baby's and a look of the most supreme
Innocence. His excellency gave one
look of blank establishment and then
with an appreciative smile breaking
over his war worn features, turned to
the assembled officers and said. Here,
gentlemen, your old minister is fool
and your young lieutenant is cap,

ten Republican members of the Ken

amendment was killed after 1t had
twice passed the lower house during
the present session. 1t went down to

SOAP .ero,x,y. ON rrees.

Side by side grow the soap tree and
the tallow tree. The soap tree yields
a product from which is manufactured
the purest article of soap that is pos
sible to be made. Indeed, the pulp
of the berry is a natural soap. and
will make lather almost like the
manufactured article. The soap berry
tree is now creating widespread inter
est and the berries are being imported
from Algiers and China.
1t will pay to plant the trees and
look after their cultivation. The
product of the tallow tree also enters
into the making of soap, and the two
together make nice combination, and
their cultivation should be looked af-
ter by those interested in new indus
tries. Besides soap. the soap berries
make very fine oil. and when the vir-
tues Of the tallow tree are fully known,
1t may also yield fine and profitable
oil. The young man who nav plants
out a ten or twenty-acre orchard Of
these two trees may drop into an
easy fortune.-Ocala (Fla.) Banner.

The Week
in Congress
~~~~~~~

Senator Root Friday concluded his
speech in the Senateei in support of the
administration railroad bill and the
further consideration of that measure
was postponed until Monday. The
Senate passed the bill amending the
employers liability law in respect to
the jurisdiction of State courts in rail-
road damage suits. The liability bill
now will go to conference. The pub
licity feature of the corporation tax
law was under discussion during the
entire session of the House to-day. The
Senate had provided, in an amend
ment to the legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bill. for pub
licity of corporation reports upon APP
proval of the President alone under
regulations to be formulated by the
Secretary of the Treasury. After the
bill had been completed Representative
Fitzgerald of New York attempted to
recommit it with instructions for a re-
port forthwith with an amendment re-
pealing the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
By "a strict party vote, $50 to 116,
Speaker Cannon's ruling that this mo-
ton was out of order was sustained.
