The Smallest Pension.

Great Britain's pension system is as
liberal as may be considering the vast
number Of persons carried on both the
military and the civil lists, but in one
case the record for smallness of pay

DINEC TIE AUDIENCE.
And the Treat Proved a Fine Ad. For
List and Rubini.

And the Treat Proved Fine Ad. For
List and Rubin.
An article in an Italian review con-
tains an interesting story of List and
Rubini. the tenor. They were touring
together and visited town where.
from the preliminaries which had been
arranged. great things were expected.
But they were disappointed, for when
they entered the hall they found only
fifty persons present
Ribini was furious and said he would
not sing. but List Gained him. You
must sing" he said. This small audi
ence is evidently composed of musical
connoisseurs of the town, SO we should
treat them with respect" Liszt set
the example with Il grand overture.
and Rubini sang to perfection. List
gave another piece and then addressed
the audience.
List as an orator was as tactfIl as
he had been in the role OF pacificator.
Addressing his audience of fifty, he
said: ladies and gentlemen"-there
was only one lady preSent-"l think
that you have had enough music. AL
low me to ask you to take u little sup
per with us After few seconds the
invitation was accepted. and List and
Rubini entertained the audience to
supper at their hotel. which cost them
1900 francs.
When the guests separated the hosts
thought the affair had been a joke.
about which nothing more would be
heard. but they decided TO give their
concert as advertised on the following
night. TO their establishment the hall
was packed. There was not standing
room. The whole town had turned out
on the off chance of an invitation to
supper.

Far-Reaching Amendment by
Senator Kern Voted.
OTHER AMENDMENTS, AS WELL
House Free List Bill Fails by Tie
Vote, but Goes Through When
Amended by Vote of
49 to 90.

Washington, Aug AFTER it had
been amended on motion of Senator
Kern of Indiana to provide that meats
and meat products and cereal products
shall be admitted free of duty only
from those countries with which the
United States has a reciprocal trade
agreement admitting farm products
free, the Underwood farmers free list
bill was passed by the senate.
This amendment limits the free
trade in meats and cereal products
therefore to Canada. 1t was the price
of the support of Senator Bailey and
few Of his Democratic friends and
of the ilsurgent Republicans
The bill also provides for few 9th
er amendments, including one by Mr..
Shively of Indiana adding binders.
This was added on the theory that the
word "haryesters" in the free list
might not apply to what are known as
self-binders. Another amendment by
Senator Gronna struck out of the free
list bill a qualification of the leather
schedule embraced in the following
words, applying to leather and leather
products:
MADE wholly or in chief value of
leather, made from cattle hides and
cattle skins of whatever weight Of cat
tie Of the bovine species, including
calf skins" The Gronna amendment
PIT leather and leather products I'M
conditionally On the free list
Another amendment by Mr.. Gronna
put upon the free list, roman, Port
land and ether hydraulic cement and
lines"
The house free list bill was lost by
vote of 80 to 80, Bailey Of Texas vot-
ing in the negative A, motion was
then made tC reconsider by LaFollette
and this prevailed and after the adop-
ton of the current amendments the
bill was passed 40 to 90.
After the Passage of the free list
bill the senate took up the rcappOr-
tiOnment bill and made it the unfin-
ished business.

are brutal and dangerous. They show
love for their children and wives and
kindness to their old people. They are
divided into numerous tribes or groups.

whom the burdens of government rest
but lightly.
They believe in a good and an evil
spirit, whom they propitiate. and have

drinking of blood form conspicuous
part of their superstitions, birth. mar
