THE WAY OF THE BRUTE.


A writer of an agricultural pa
per says: XIII your dogs and
buy yourself a pig, the scraps
you feed to a dog would, if fed to
a pig. net you a neat sum every
year"
Yes, kill your dog. Kill him,
YOU Internal brute. And then
when You have killed the modest
friend man ever had in the AM
inal kingnan, buy yourself a
pig. 1t will he a more fitting
companion for a man Of your
type. Then when you return
home at night, worn out by the
toll of the day or harassed by the
worries of business cares. eX-
pect your pig to come bounding
to greet you, to leap and frisk
about you, to lick your hands in
welcome while lis whole body
fairly quivers with the joy Of
his poor dumb brute soul at be
ing in your presence, and when
you lie down to sleep, expect
your pig to guard your couch, a
faithful sentinel who would lay
down his life before he would
suffer harm to come to You or
yours; or when misfortune over
takes you or some sorrow comes
upon YOU or yours and you feel
that you have been forsaken by
heaven and deserted by every
human friend, and you sit in ST.
lent grief and misery III the soil.
tude of your room, expect yoln
pig to steal softly to you and lay
his head in silent sympathy upon
your knee while his great honest
soulful eyes look into yours with
a mute eloquence and truth
more potent than might be port
rayed by human language and
thus say: "No matter w h a
may be your sorrow, your mis-
fortune or even your disgrace,
will share it with you, and
though the world may turn
from you l will gladly stay with
you until the end"
And then, you contemplate
miserable misfit carcature i'll the
name of a man, if you find youl
pig fails in this, you can at least
satisfy your sordid, grasping, de
graded and shriveled soul witt
the knowledge that by murder
ing your faithful dog because
your dastardly greed grudgeC
him the few scraps he eats. yet
are able to sell your pig for a pit
: iful pittance that is more prec
ious to your avalicious soul than
the life blood of your devoted
/, damb friend and faithful pro
tector. Our Dumb Animals

FOOT YOUR OWN HORN.

A hen is not supposed to have

A rooster hasn't got a lot of in

WALK THIS WAY.

A young lady walked into a
store in one of the nuighboring
towns The other day and wanted
to see some goods which hap
pened to be in the rear end Of
the building. With head erect

saying. Walk this way lady"
She started, hcsilatcd and with

DAVIS ATTACKS OEPEW
Arkansas Senator Upsets De-

From The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator JEFF Davis
upset Senate decorum twice to-day In the
course Of a speech advocating the election
Of Senator's by direct popular vote Al
though not entirely unexpected. an attack
upon Senator Depew caused something OF
shock to the members OF the dgnifed
upper house. where the unyritten rule Of
etiquette forbds disparaging personal allu-
sIors IT know OF no Senator said the
Arkansas statesman. who would 80 aptly
personify with powdered wig, knee breeches
and buckles a member Of the English Par
llsmeat ss would tho senior Senator from
New York and his unfortunate sugges-
ton that We are salvation army and such
sibes and teers az this strengthen rather
than weaken our cause" Senator Depew,
complying with the request of several Sem
ators made no reply.
The second assault upon Senate decorum
was not intentional Senator Davis made
statement. apropos Of the Lorimer In
vestisation. that Brown slept in the same
room with Lorimer One of the corre-
spondents sent him note calling his at
tention 10 the error. saying that in the
testimony the word suite was used
Senator Davis made the correction by say
ing:
I'm my speech I said that Brown slept
In the same room with Lorimer. I meant
II AZ they slept IN the same suit"
A ripple OF suppressed laughter followed
the whispered. but audible. query from
soms corner Of the chamber: Does ne

MORE OFFICERS FOR ARMY
Foreign Relations Committee
Gets Reciprocity Agreement.
IFron Ia Tribune Bureau

Washington, Jan. 30.--The Senate came
TO the relief Of the army to-day by pass
ing, without objection the bill providing ad-
ditional officers to increase the efficiency
Of the organized militia and for other pur
poses. The bill enables the President 10
dotach army officers of the active list from
their proper commands for duty as inspec-
tors and instructors Of the organized mill
tia, and TO appoint other officers 10 fill the
vacancies so caused. The number of de-
teched officers is limited TO 619, and the cor
responding increase in the army list is dis
tributed over period Of five years.
The bill provides for the appointment ul-
t.nately Of twenty-three colonels twenty
six lieutenant colonels. seventy eight ma
1ors. 22S captains and 257 second lieuten-
ants When all the vacancies have been
filed the additional annual cost will be
about s1,s0000o. The hill, II II becomes 81
law, will relieve the serious situation in
the army Because Of the large number Of
officers on detached dutv. many Of the regi-
raents are under differed and many com
panies are without commanding officers at
all Tor this reason II has beeen necessary
70 Withdraw a number who were on duty
with the militia as instructors
Despite the apparent unwillingness Of
Senators 10 take ZIP the reciprocity agree
nent, three committees clamored for their
right Of precedence in the consideration OF
the measure to-day. Senator Cullom sug
eested that II should go first TO the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. Senator
Smith, Of Michigan. was unusually 1rm In
his contention that it should so 70 the
Committee on Canadian Relations Others
declared It's proper place was the Commit
tee on Finance Senator Hepburn added
another complication TO the debate by as
serting that there was no power conferred
bv the Constitution 70 authorize the EX-
ecutivc Department % originate legisls ton
affecting revenues The agreement was
finally sent 20 the Committee on foreign
relations. whence u will 70 10 the Com
mittee on Finance
IN the lull between tho consideration u
appropriation bills Senator stone delivered
o. speech In opposition to the postal sub
vention BILL and Senator Davis spoke on
the popular vote amendment
Senator stone IN his address announced
his unqualified support Of The Canadian
reciprocity treaty and his conviction that
whatever the Republicans might DO. Demo-
Gratis should give the agreement their sane
ton The Senator maintained that the
agreement would prove Of tremendous i'm
portance not only 10 this country. but ulu-
mateIy 70 the entire hemisphere
Senator Beyeridge made an effort 70 get
an agreement 10 vote on the Lorimer case
on February 4. but Senator Bulkeley OBJ

the time The rivers and harbors bill was
reported late in tho day and will be taken

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.-The ca
madam reciprocity agreement continues 70
occupy the attention OF members of Con-
gress. almost to the exclusion Of all else
The notable developments of the day in this
connection are the enthusiastic eulogies OF
the agreement delivered in the Senate by
Senator Stone of Missouri and In The
House by Representative Champ Clark. the
Speaker designate To the "stand-patters
these declarations occasion no surprise
Trey denounce the agreement as an un-
speakable free trade proposition which
Democrats would naturally support, and as
sert that. Of course, the Democrats are Try
ing 70 make political capital out Of the
situation. Senator'S generally refuse to be-
lieve that the President will call Congress
in special session if they defer action. They
insist mat Mr.. Taft is "blufflng," and that
when the time comes he will think better
OF that idea- In the House the belief that
an attempt 10 dodge a direct vote on the
proposition will result in a special session
is increa sing, and for that reason even
those who are opposed TO the agreement
would like TO zee T. disposed Of. Champ
Clark. in the course of his remarks to-day,
said: Personally. ! am in favor OK an eX-
ira session. but there is one man only VINO
can call II. and l do not know what he VIII
co" Some Of the Presidents advisers be-
lieve that Mr. Clark and his associates are
far from convinced that they would benefit
by an extra session, despite their asser-
tons. Those who hold this view submit
that with the long recess in which TO pre-
pare. the Democrats Will De in much bet
ter position to make partisan capital out
Of the tariff issue than n they are COM
PEELED TO face 1t practically at once and oe-
fore they have succeeded in even partially

INSURGENTS IN QUANDARY. - The
more the insurgents consider the problem
presented by the Canadian agreement the
further they are from a solution Of the
difficulty. To vote against It would prove
their ins!ncerity. because Of their denun-
cfation Of the President for not having in
sisted on such reduction OF the duties IN
the Payne law as would have lessened the
cost Of living. To vote for the measure
they believe, Will injure them incalcuably
with their constituents. Without warning,
Senator Bevertdge deserted their ranks
yesterday and came out strongly and IN
eouivocally for the agreement. His course
IS greatly resented by his fellow insur-
gents. end they insist that the unusually
bold stand of the Indiana statesman can
be accounted for only by the fact that he
has his political future behind him.
They. however, cherish ambitions 10 be re-
elected to the Senate or selected for sun
higher office, and tho thought of alternating
the rural vote in their several states fills
them with terror. It is decidedly doubtful
if either OF the Nebraska Senator'S Will
dare 10 vote for the agreement. Senator
Young, Of Iowa, who is, Of course, dyed
IN the wool "stand-patter." has fastened
back 10 Washington 10 fight the PROPOSE
ton. and Senator Cummins is torn with
conflicting emotions. AS an instance Of the
way the farmers feel toward the agree
ment the protest of 7. II. Hunt, president
OF the New York Dairyman's Association,
20 Senator Depew is cited Mr.. Hunt has
come to Washington TO see the members OK
his state delegation and assure them that
approval Of the agreement will insure
Democratic masorities in every New York
county which borders on the Canadian
line.

Says Review Is Unnecessary.

IF Congress had intended that cIfmi-

should be treated differently from criminal
cases arising under other laws" says the

THE PRESIDENT HOPEFUL-PreSi-
dent Taft continues hopeful Of the success
Of his agreement with Canada but he be-
lieves the time has come when the con-
surners should express to their representa-
tives in both houses Of Congress their
views on this subject The protected in
terests can, OF course. be counted on 70
make known their views. They have or
ganizations with which TO meet expenses,
and many Of them have paid representa-
tives whom they can send TO Washington
al once, and who are not without expert
cnce In influencing the votes Of the ma
tional legislators. The ultimate consum-
er, however enjoys no such advantage.
But, in the estimation Of the administra-
ton, he should make his wants known to
