JUST BEFORE THE TROUBLE
How Gould tho Listener Know What
His Friend Was Trying
to Say2

If any man ave admired his wife,
that man was Howler. And when the
Ntzboodles asked Mrs. Howler to get
up and sing "There ls a Garden in
My Face" the husband glowed with
pride.
No matter that she had a face like
a hippOpotamus and a voice like an
elephant, he sat beaming as she sang,
and could not refrain from bending
over to his neighbor and Whispering:
Don't you think my wife's got a fine
voice."
"What?" said his neighbor. who
was a little deaf.
Don't you think my wife has got a
fine voice." repeated Howler.
"What?"
Don't you think my wife's got a
fine voice?' roared Howler.
"SOrry!" returned the neighbor,
shaking his head. Cant hear a word
you say. That awful woman over
there is making such a frightful row
singing"

The narrowing tale goes on.
where a few years ago every

life people who imagine they can
not drink it. (The understanding is
ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen-

coffee; as there is not a person

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES

Worcester, Mass, Jan. 23.-Unless the
railroads of the country charge higher
rates for carrying freight, the en-
ployes' wages will have to be cut. This

the association, was one of the princi-
pal speakers. For 25 years said Mr.
Morissey, the changes in class rates
have been very slight while the value
OF almost every commodity has in
creased. The railroads have found It
necessary again and again to increase
wages. Now they are making a moder-

THE SUPREME COURT
Will Recess Monday Till Feb. 20-ln-
dian Land Cases Thrown Out.

Washington, Jan. 23-The supreme
court of the United States will take re-
cess after announcing opinions next Mon
day, until Feb 20 1t is believed much of
the recess will be spent considering argu-
ments and preparing decisions in the
Standard Oil, American Tobacco and cor
poration tax cases.
On the theory that Congress cannot
confer jurisdiction on the supreme court
of the United States for the sole purpose
of testing the constitutonality of a law,
the supreme court today declined to con-
slider the constitutionality of laws in
creasing restrictions on the sale of and
otherwise affecting Indian lands in Ok
lahoma.
In 1902 Congress passed an act alloting
the tribal land in the Indian Territory tn
the Indians. In the case of the Chero-
KEGS, the enactment placed on the allot-
ment a restriction so that the land could
not be sold for five years. On April 90.
1906 before the 5-year restriction had ex-
pired, Congress enacted another law
which provided that no full-blood Chero-
kee could ALLEVIATE the land allotted to
him within 25 years. Since 1902 larger
portion of the land had been allotted and
there was some left over. Congress,
therefore, when it increased the length
of the time the restrictions ran. increased
the number Of names on the roll by add
ing the names of all Cherokee babies
born between Sept. l. 1902. when the roll
was prepared, and April %, 1906.
So much opposition arose to the en-
forcement of the enactment of 1906 that
subsequently Congress authorized certain
Indians to bring suit in the court of
claims to test the constitutionality of
those acts and cf the act of 1904 authoriz-
ing the secretary cf tho interior to grant

ROYAL EMBARRASSMENT.
German Emperor's Intimate Friend
Has Railroad Mishap.

Berlin. Monday. Jan. 16.-The Prince
of Fuerstenberg, the Emperor's most
intimate friend, passed a sorry quar-
ter of an hour at a railroad station
on his way recently to attend the fun
eral of Prince Hohenlohe at Slawent-
ZtZ.
He had left Berlin in a sleeping car,
Fattended by his valet. When he re-
tired for the night, the valet retreat
ed to the next car with the princes
clothing and shoes. These he brush
ed and prepared for his master. whom
he had been ordered to awaken at
kandrZin early in the morning, where
a change of trains to branch line
had to be made. When the train ar
rived at Breslau the number of pas
SengerS had become so great that the
officials decided to divide the train IN
to two parts. This was done without
the knowledge of the valet or the
prince and it so happened that the train
was uncoupled just between the cars
containing the prince and his servant.
On arriving at Kandrzin. the con-
ductor awakened the prince, who arose
and inquired for his valet. The man,
however. was not to be found, as ne
had been left behind in the second
half of the train, together with his
masters clothes. The only thing left
for the prince to do was to hire
blanket from the sleeping car porter
envelop himself in it and make n dash
for the waiting room. where he sat
shivering barefooted in 10 degrees OF
frost until the arrival of the second
