dent Taft's choice for the vacancy on
the supreme bench caused by the
death Of Justice Brewer
Following the proclamation of a com.
plete tariff agreement with Canada it
was announced that President Taft
has invited Dominion government Off
cials to a conference looking to closer
trade relations between the two coun-
tries and to a general REIMBURSEMENT of
duties.
Suit in equity under the Sherman
antitrust law is to be instituted by the
department of justice against what is
known as the European steamship
pool on the contention that it is an
arrangement in restraint of trade.
A caucus of the Republicans of the
house is to be held to arrange a pro-
gramme for putting through that
body the administration measures.
This plan was agreed upon at a con
ference at the White House.

! GOO acres in mi Heretofore the
great peanut section has been the tide
water country Of Virginia., where thou
send Of farmers grow peanuts as
| tbeir. principle crop and make good
money from them. 5 II
The AGRICULTURAL department has
been experimenting with peanuts In
the southwest. where the boil weevil
destroys much cotton. and has discov-
cred that they produce crops that pay
better than cotton. Peanuts are Inn
mupe to all kinds Of injurious insects,
The present consumption Of the pea
nut In the United States for cOnfec-
lions alone is greater than the pro-
duction, and thousands Of bushels are
imported annually.
The oil mace from the nut is said to
be second only to olive oil and superior
to the cotton seed product. 1t can be
produced at the cotton oil mills and
gins throughout the south and with a
simple process bottled and canned.
Tests made by the department OF 40,
riculture show that 1t will stand Tor
a year or more simply corked IN a
glass bottle and will not become the
least bit rancid. The ruling prices OF
/ cooking fets on the present market
and the pronounced superiority Of the
peanut oil would SUI an ample
market for all that could possibly be
produced ON the sand lands Of the
south. The oil now being imported
| into the United States is used mainly
for medical purposes and as a substi.
| tute for olive oil.
In the meanwhile. however. there ap.
pears to be but little need for q pea.

aside: "Tacks, leave the rooml"
 But Tacks wouldn't go-not for priceless gems!
 Percy proceeded to part his coat tails before doing a Society droop, and in that manner he grew wise to the airship attachment in the rear
 An expression of wonderment crept over Percy's face, and with much de liberation he started to pry of the in- cubus.
 Then something ripped. It wasn't the sofa pillow.
 Clara J. was painfully embarrassed, and Tacks was busy taking care of a series of internal spasms.
 Percy began to back up. Presently he hit small table on which rested a costly bit of bric-a-brac, and over went the whole plazazus with a smash on the floor.
 Percy gave Clara J. the frightened fawn eye and started to gather up the shells from the floor.
 When Percy's shoulders went down, quite naturally the pillow went up in the air, and then Clara ] col lapsed.
 Tacks was under the sofa biting holes in the carpet.
 Attracted by the crash, Mamma and Papa cut in. They stood in the door and watched Percy digging for broken bric-a-brac with a sofa pillow clinging gayly to his southeastern ex tremity. He looked like an animated Japanese lantern.
 It was too much for Papa. He gave Percy the boot and ducked.
 Mamma teetered over to Percy and said: "Oh, 1t doesn't matter, MT. Jones'" and then she took a pull at the pillow.
 As she did so Percy sat down on the floor with bump that shook the block, and 1t was even money who was the most surprised, Mamma or Percy.
 Clara J. had left the scene of battle. and Tacks was out in the hall pray ing for power to laugh just five min utes longer
 Percy arose painfully. So did the sofa pillow. Mamma eyed them both suspiciously.
 'T beg your pardon, Mrs. Van viyver!" said Percy, and with both hands Denlnd n1s pack he took an other yank at the evil.
 "R-r-r-r-i-p!"
 Percy stood up and Mamma ex. claimed: Mercy on us!"
 Its a mere nothing, I assure you!' said Percy.
 Wont you re-seat yourself7" asked Mamma, politely.
 I'm afraid I'll have to when this comes off," answered Percy mourn fully.
 "T fear I don't quite catch your meaning" said Mother, and now her signals were out for a cold wave.
 Percy blushed and said: "The fact is, Mrs. Vanvivvier, I'm making a col lection of sofa pillows-new fad don't you know. Awfully jolly sport

WEE INCIDENT OF CIVIL WAR
Young Soldier CraWls Along surheo Bridge at Night and compels
 Enemy to Retreat.

The bravest and coolest act that came under my observation during five years military service at the time of the Civil war, was that of Isaac B. Hardy, soldier nineteen years of age, who has been for many years a resident of Santa Barbara.
 March 3. 1865, Gen. sherman, on his march through the Carolinas, arrived before Cheraw, on the great Pedee river Here the Seventeenth corps, with my regiment, the Sixty-fourth H. linois, known as the Yates Sharp shooters, in the lead as skirmishersi held the center, writes Brig. Gen. J. S. Reynolds in Los Angeles Times.
 I was ordered to immediately ad- vance the skirmishers at double quick through the town to the west end of the only bridge there over the river, and, if possible, prevent the enemy from destroying it. We reached the bridge after the exchange of many shots with fleeing squads of the en emys cavalry, who had been guard ing the roads leading into tno town but already the farther end of the
