TIL PRESIDENTS CONSISTENCY.

THE PRESIDENTS CONSISTENCY
Free trade and democratic newSpa
pprs make much Of President Tafts pre-
vious condemnation Of the existing wool
schedule in an effort TO prove that he
has been guilty Of Inconsistency in veto
ing the wool bill. But MIR. Taft has not
changed his position in the least When
he said that the wool schedule was ill
defcnsihle' he was already planning 10
find ont as soon as possible what the
tariff on wool ought 10 be and then 10
make rates accordingly. lie did not de-
care in favor Of haphazard cutting OF
the wool duties. but in favor of a scicn-
tifc revision of them based upon facts
gathered lay nonpartiSan experts. He
would indeed be in an absurd position
ID after doing his utmost TO have a tariff
commission created and 10 obtain an
adequate appropriation from Congress
for the purposes Of a tariff investigation
and after appointing such body Of OK
perts and having them at work for
months upon the wool schedule, when
they were Just about 10 give the country
the results Of their labOrs he should have
Ignored all that had been done TO put
the wool schedule upon a scientific basis
and had accepted q rate made in exactly
the way ne had said rates should not be
made. namely. without sufficient infor-
nation, by euesswOrk and legislative log
rolling.
If q long delay were necessary TO Sc
cure the information required to revise
tie wool rates in accordance with the
facts there might be some reason for I'M
Datiance But the delay IS slight. The
tariff commission will report at the be-
ginning Of the next session, as Congress
itself asked. and Congress will then have
the facts and figures before il. Sup
pose the report should show that wool
manufacturing could stand 4 consider
ably greater cut in the tariff rates than
That made in the bill vetoed. Would
those who censure the President for not
signing this bill have had Congress after
revising the wool schedule now revise il
ali over again at the next session in the
light of the tariff commissions figures
lust made available? Or would they
have the country after employing experts
1T considerable expense and keeping
them busy for months simply Ignore
their findings and recommendations and
go ahead with tariff revision in the old
way, by guesswork aud compromise

Carlyle Smith, in IIarper's Weekly.
Major Henry Reed Rathborn, who died
last week in the Asylum for the Criminal
Insane at Hildesheim, Germany, was the
last survivor OF the party occupying the
box with President and Mrs. Lincoln at
Fords Theatre the night OF the assas-
sination. Rathborn had been in conhne-
ment for years for having killed his wife,
who, as his betrothed was also a member
Of the Lincoln party on the fatal night.
Several months after the assassination a
German illustrated periodical containing
pictures incident TO the happening was re-
ceived in this country, I'm which Major
Rathborn was shown wearing a long flow
ing gray beard and was DESCRIBED a
venerable member OF an old Albany family.
The picture, evidently drawn from a de-
scription which was incorrect, caused
much amusement at the time. as Rathborn
was then a dashing officer of twenty-eight
and looked even younger.

Palmer follows:
Notwithstanding tho fact that in all pub
licity given out by committee il IL dis
tinctly stated that investigation relates
solely and only to Industrial health and
accident companies, II seems TO have crept
into some of the press Of the country that
our work covered the industrial life insur-
ance field The committee desires to correct
the wrong impression, deeming IL mislead-
ing and unjust. Our work is confined en-
tirely TO the industrial health and accident
field, and has noting whatever to do with
industrial life companies, the latter being
separate and distinct class OF business
from the former.

The Marquis Of Queensberry certainly
seems TO have political grievance. He
cannot get himself into the peerase Of
the United Kingdom. the other Scottish
peers will not elect him as one OF their
representatives. in the House of Lords
and the law excludes him from the
House Of Commons. Thus he is de-
barred from Parliament altogether. But
there IS nothing to prevent him from be-
coming naturalized here and then run

Shakespeare's Education.

Shakespeare could not have been an
educated man, that is, in the academic
sense of the word, for he was mere
youth when he went to London from
Stratford and had had, up to that time,
only such mental training as he could
pick up in the schools Of his native
town. 1t nowhere appears that he at
tended school after leaving StratfOrd.
And yet, as Matthew Arnold says. he
lived during his London residence lin
a current Of ideas in the highest degree
animating and nourishing to the crea-
tive faculty in society permeated by
fresh thought, intelligent and alive"
And he used not only the ideas which
he imbibed as they foated around him,
but all the learning he could pick up
without neglecting his calling.-New

Burps on the Head.

The lump raised by a blow on the
head is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands of connec-
tive tissue. The result of blow when
the scalp is not cut is the bruising and
Iaceration of many of the small blood
vessels or capillaries. Blood or its
fluid constituent, serum. Is poured into
the meshes Of the surrounding con-
nective tissue, which is delicate,
spongy, distensible and cellular, and
the we'll known bump or lump is quick
ly formed. This cannot push inward
at all and naturally takes the line of
least resistance. Similar bumps may
be formed on the skin in exactly the
same way, for the shin bone also is
covered only by skin and subcutaReous
connective tissue.

I have reputation or because they

give vent to their natural enthusiasm.
When they shout l know that am

certain notions as to how line should
be read will applaud if l read it his

MADDENED THE BEAR.
Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the Mexicans.

OoeC py the Me<tCanS.
The Mexicans in California had an
ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet
above a rope was suspended, to the
end Of which a large stone was made
fast so that it hung about six inches
above and a trife nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger Of the
bear. and he would give the stone a
sweep of his paw which would send
1t swinging farther out The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit in return.
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor One powerful
sweep, then bang. and bruin would be
tumbled out of the tree to the rocks
below. where. disabled by his fall. he
would be at the mercy Of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
take him.

LAXATIVE SENT FREE TO TRY

1t may be taken for granted that
there is no family that does not some
time need a laxative. If you don't
know of a good laxative, or the laxa-
tive you are using is losing its effect,
we want to call your attention to DR..
Caldwcll's Syrup Pepsin, which thou
sands of families are using success
fully.
We have scores of letters from
mothers, and scores from prominent
men saying they are using it person
ally and giving it to their families
men like Mr.. c. K Smith of the
Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff
Ark, and Mr.. George B. Turner, a
lawyer of Harlan, KY. The thou
sands of mothers who use it them
selves and give it to their children
would take too much space to men
ton.
The reason they prefer Syrup Pep
hin is that it is mild, gentle Taxa
