Joseph Verey, friend and courier of
Mark Twain during nine Of the Euro
pean tours made by the American
humorist, has been rescued from want
by society Of professional humorists.
Verey felt the pinch of poverty from
the loss OF his savings, which had been
unwisely invested, and he was in ac-
tual want when discovered in obscure
London lodgings by a local papers
representative. When his plight was
made public a number OF admirers OF
Mark Twain interested themselves in
his behalf and secured him position
as lecturer to local society for the
encouragement OF humor.
Just prior to his late misfortune, the
former courier was engaged as pheas-
ant raiser by King Alfonso of Spain
On one of the visits Of the royal family
to the hatchery, Verey entertained
them with stories OF his travels with
the celebrated American humorist. He
has an endless store Of recollections Of
his famous employer. He gave the fol-
lowing interesting account OF Mark
Twain's travel habits:
Mr.. Clemens hardly ever talked to
anyone. Once travelled from Cologne
to Dresden with him, and he only
spoke about two words to me. what
was instructed to do, was to engage
the other people in the temperament

SIMPLE CHRISTMAS MENU.
A CHRISTMAS IN WAR.

"Fiahtina Bob" Evans Story Of the
 "Prssents" to Fort Fisher.
 'On Christmas morning" said Rear Admiral Evans, U. s. N, retired, T thank God that he made three times as much water as land. No true sailor would exchange Christmas at sea for one on shore.
 'Of all the Christmases spent at sea the one that rises before me most vtv- idly is that of 1865, when the Federal army and the gunboat fleet were try ing to capture Fort Fisher. The only presents we received, and they came fast and furious, were solid shot and shell from the guns of the enemy. But this didn't destroy our sense of humor. The boys would write on each solid shot or shell before placing 1t in the gun, Presented by and add the name of the vessel from which it happened to be fired. Mighty few hurled at the fort that day lacked this Christmas greeting. All the gdnners caught the spirit of the grim jest, for the fighting line is no place for serious faces. . OGSDlLG LuG GAIALGuGhL OA tAC hSASS combat we managed to have the mast heads of all the ships trimmed with Christmas greens, even though the sailors had to risk their lives in going ashore to get them, and you may be assured the sentiment of the day was not wasted"
 No nation provides more plentifully for the Christmas cheer of its sailors than does Uncle Sam. Each of the battleship crews has dinner of roast turkey, plum pudding, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings that go with 1t. The men are served in messes of twen- ty at P o'clock, and each man is al lowed one snifter of grog as an appe- tiger in celebration of the occasion.
 The officers dine at 6 o'clock and, as is the custom when spending the holiday at sea, are guests of the com. manding officer.

British Labor Riots.

LONDON, Aug. l5.-Liverpool, the
storm center of the strike which Ia
menacing the trade of Great Britain,
was under arms today. In addition
to her own police and reintorcements
from the surrounding cities, 5000
troops of infantry or cavalry under
General McKinnon Wood, were quar-.
tered in the city prepared to back up
the police 10 maintaining order.
The riot in Great Homer street. while
not directly connected with the strike
has had q good effect in its outcome
a. the rowdy element was subdued.
The trouble began when a constable
arrested q man for having assaulted a
woman.
Roughs rescued the prisoner and 20.
lice reserves could not control the
mob, which vented its fury in wrecking
nearby shops. A bayonet charge was
ordered, and when this failed to clear
the streets, an order to fire into the air
was given. Two v~olleys were dis
charged over the heads OF the rioters
with great effect. A number of the
rioters were wounded by bayonets but
none was hit by bullets. Many were
arrested.

Would Save Millions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Radical
reimbursement of the methods OF COM
putting the pay of railways for trans
porting the malls. which will effect an
annual saving of approximately nine
million dollars, was recommended to
congress today by Postm aster General
Hitchcock.
Mr.. Hitchcock proposes to effect
such saving by paying the railroads
on the basis of cost with six per cent
profit. The plan provides that all
railways shall report annually to the
postm aster general the expenses in
Cured in carrying the mails in order
that the department may determine the
cost to the railways and a fair rate OF
profit.
The method of fixing railway mail
pay in accordance with weight has
proved expensive and unsatisfactory,
says Mr.. Hitchcock. He suggests tina
substitution of the method of fixing
compens alton in connection with the
amount of space required in cars.

The Poetry Of Skirts.
Detroit News,

The harem skirt will die of its own
puritanism. 1t Is modesty itself, in-
casing the neither limbs of womanhood
as in q sack, lending itself neither to
the vagaries OF wind o to the grace
of motion in the wearer The harem
skirt lacks zest. 1t is not piquant, it
suggests nothing, it is nothing. In
fact, it Is no skirt at all. Where is
there room for the dainty, ~Auttering
fabric, for the swift vision of ankles
on q rainy day, for the art that con.
oeals art; where, in brief, ia there
stimulus In the pickering strings Of
the bsgged skirt? Romance has ever
hedged about the skirt. Man has fol.
lowed for centuries its swish and its
swirl, Its vague possibilities, its re.
mote suggestion Of ankles and limbs,
its tantalizing grace, and will con.
tinue to do so as long as the eternal
feminine with its eternal question
mark endures.
Imagine childish girlhood without
its brief skirt. Imagine all the years
of womanly development and OF 70.
nance without the lengthening skirt

Imagine woman deprived of all the

FAIR FREIGHT RATES.

Those who have considered the rate
question from the side of the people as
we'll as from the side of the railroad
are convinced that ultimately it will
be necessary for congress to amend
the long and short shaul clause of the
interstate commerce law 80 as to pro.
hibit absolutely a higher charge for a
shorter haul than for a long haul on
the same line.
Their a be no economy in the
long run for the people of the United
States in allowing the railroads to
ere ate IN artificial condition for the
purpose of destroying the water
routes, says the Spokesman Review.
Heretofore it has been the practice of
the railroads to make rates so low to
points which have water transporta-
ton that the ships we're put out Of
business. This was done ever when
1t was necessary for the railroads to
carry the freight at q loss.
They figured that they could make
up the loss by putting up the rates to
intermediate points where the rail.
roads had q monopoly.
The effect of this policy, OF course,
was to make the inland states pay for
the fight OF the railroads against the
ships.
One result was to cause the railroads
to haul a large percentage Of trans.
continental freight through to the co as,
and back again over the coast range
OF mountains for distribution, instead
OF taking it off at inland cities, such
rs Spokane and Salt Lake, and dis.
tributing from them. Thus millions
Of tons OF freight have been carried
over the Cascade mountains and back
again unnecess arily.
For this unnecessary expense the
people of the United States have paid
The railroads have profted nothing
from it. It las been absolute waste,
and ali because the railroads wanted
to put The ships out OF business.
The wise course from an economic
standpoint is for the people OF the

STATEHOOD BILL VETOED,9
President Objects To Recall Provision
Of Constitution.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-President
Taft in q special message to the house
OF representatives today vetoed the
Joint resolution providing for the adj
mission of New Mexico and Arizona
to statehood. His reason for exercis-
ing the executive power of veto was
based on his thorough disapproval of
the recall of judges clause in the Ari.
IONA constitution.
The ness age was read to the house
amid absolute silence. Then q storm
of applause broke from the republican
side. The democrats remained quiet.
The message was referred to the terri
tories committee.
The fact that New Mexico's state.
hood was bound up with that of Ari.
IONA meted out to her the same fate
and neither territory can come into
the union at this time unless friends
OF the Joint resolution in congress can
muster the %two-thirds vote necessary
to pass the resolution over the presi-
dents veto. This may be attempted.
The president did not spare words
in condemning the recall feature of the
Arizona constitution which he said
would compel judges to make their
decisions "under legalized terrorism"
The recall provision would operate
against all elective officers of Ari.
IONA, including both county and state
judges. When Is per cent of the vot.
ers of the previous election petitioned
for a special election to remove an
official such 30 election would be com.
pulsory.
"This provision of the Arizona con.
stitution," the president said, Gin its
application to county and state judges
seems to me so pernicious in it's effect,
so destructive Of independence in the
Judiciary, SO likely to subject the
rights of the individual to the tyranny
of popular majority, and therefore to
be injurious to the cause of free gov.
eminent. I must disapprove q con-
stitution containing it,"

To Regulate Marriage and Divorce

To Regulate Marriage and Divorce.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14,-The storm
OF protest which has been raised over
the approaching marriage Of Col. John
Jacob Astor and Miss Madeline Force
has brought about an agitation among
members of the senate and house of
representatives looking to q federal
law regulating marriage and divorce.
Foremost among the advocates of
such a measure is Senator Curtis of
Kansas.
1.-The matter OF establishing uniform
divorce laws Is one in which I am
greatly interested the Kansas sena-
tor is quoted as saying today. sit is
a matter that vitality affects the social
interests of the nation and one which
must soon be remedied. First among
the laws should be the preventing in
any state the marriage OF q man whose
wife divorced him on charges of spe-
cifc crime. Along with this should be
laws making marriages and divorce
more difficult. A commission might
be appointed to ascertain the best way
