 Discusses Tariff
 Taking up the tariff question, MT Lit ueton says he believes there are certain high minded republicans who deplore the passage of the Payne-Aldrich bill and who believe that the tariff should be honestly 1cvlsed. The question, he says, should ne dealt with "resolutely by a democra tic Congress" not in a manner so precipi- tate as to destroy business, but through settled method in the hands of per manent tariff commission.
 Duties on the necessaries of life, he be- ieves, however, should be removed at once without waiting for commission to report Tt is little short of criminal !" he says, ito allow one man, through the direct help of the government, to make an artificial profit from the poor.'
 For the reciprocity treaty with Can't Ga Mir. Littleton has high praise. 'In my opinion" he says, cit Is one of the most notable achievements of statesm all ship in the history of our country, and demo nstrates that the honest men in the republican party realize that the neces- saries of life must not be made the sub iect of artificial profit
 He indorses the parcels post system and advocates currency reform "There are otf.er questions of great importance" he says. such the creation of mainten- ance of the merchant marine. the forti- iication of the Panama canal and others might be mentioned. I think these, how ever. sufficiently illustrate my position upon the controlling questions"
 The last words he reserves for what he believes to be the duty of a representa- tive or senator. This he says Is to rep resent the whole country even if lie en- counters the criticism of his own people.

FEARED FATE OF COMPANION
Possible Reason Why Dog Refused -

Dead Chum.

A New York physician told this
story recently in q little company
where pet animals we're being dis
cussed: eve had two little pets,
Bohemian and a King Charles.
They were both bright, well behaved
and affectionate, with a weakness fer
the baby and candy. They were -
much members of the family that

helm, a short time ago, got mixed
up with the wheels of an automobile
and went to dog paradise, and there
was mourning in the nursery. A
few days later the maid, before taxi
ing him out, put the collar on Rex,
but instead of jumping for the door.
as he usually does, he hoyled and
dunk back into the Railways. Moth
ing could induce him to follow the
maid, and when she tried TO carry
him he growled and showed his teeth,
and the cry went through the house
that Rex is mad 1t was discovered
that the dead dogs collar had been
put on by mistake, and when this
was removed he was himself again.
II was evident that he would not

GOOD WORD FOR THE RAT.

Had it not been for q wire roll
used in dressing the hair, Gertrude
Brown, the 14-year-old daughter Of
p. s. Brown, would undoubtedly
have lost her life when she was
thrown from her horse the other aft
ernoon.
1t so happened that Miss Brown
had rolled her hair higher than
usual and so the wire rat received
the brunt OF the fall. The injury
was directly under the roll and was
. jagged three-cornered hole. The
girl fell on the back Of her head
upon q loose stone in the street and
the wire roll covered with hair kept
the stone from fracturing the skull.

Anecdots Of Washington.

In the fall Of 1775 General Washing
ton and his staff visited Chelsea, near
Boston, to study the land whereabouts.
They stopped for rest and refresh
ments at the home of Mr.. John Dexter.
The house sat back fifteen rods from
the street and had many stately elnls
growing in a regular park in front.
When Washington and his suit alight-
ed the horses were hitched to the
trees while their riders partook of the
luncheon inside. When the party can5e
out to remount their horses one of the
men accidentally knocked a stone
from a wall which ran from the house
to the street outside the row of trees.
Washington remarked to him that he
had better replace the stone. The off,
Ger, having remounted, replied, "No;
will leave that for somebody else to
DO"
Washington then went quietly and
replaced the stone himself, saying as
he did SO, II always make it my rule
when visiting a place to leave things
In as good order as / find them"
