WAS Al.-... FOR FRESH AIR
Transatlantic Passenger Who InSisted
Upon Having an Open Portfolio
Over the Dining Table.

A man who formerly was waiter
on a big transatlantic linar told this
story the other day:
"On certain trip over had at my
table an irascible old gentleman who
was t. fresh air tlend. No matter what
the weather. he always insisted on
having the portfolio over the table
open. 1t was no use TO argue with
him. but one day, when the seas were
very high and the snip pitching and
rolling. | ventured to demonstrate. He
was up In arms In a minute. You
are paid to obey order!' he said
tartly. Open that port!' did. The
soup course was served in safety
Then | asked him Ii he would have
fish. OF course WILL he snapped
And I'll have It In n hurry. Don't
keep me waiting all day
Just at that moment an unusually
big sea rolled by. That is, part Of It
did. A goodly portion came through
the portfolio. soaking the old man and
depositing on the table in front of
him a live FISH. No waiter on board
so quickly before. But ; didn't get
any credit for It. The queer thing
about that story" he added. is that
It isn't fish story at all never
told it yet to any one who believed It.

deep inside measure. A division
board with a circular opening TN
inches In diameter is placed across
the box 12 inches from the rear end
and Is inches from the front end. The
rear section is the nest proper.
Instead of having the partition be-
tween the two parts of the nest made
with a circular hole, 1t is possible to
have simply straight board parti-
ton extending up inches from the
bottom, as shown at C. The partition
with circular opening Is, however,
recommended.
There are several reasons why the
circular opening appears to be better
than the straight board across the
bottom of the nest. Experience has
shown that hen Is less likely to go
back and forth between the two COM
partments after she has laid when
there is only the relatively small cir
cular opening between them, than
when there is larger opening. This
reduces the likelihood of broken
eggs.
The front portion of the nest has
no fixed bottom. Instead there is
movable bottom or treadle, b, which
is hinged at the back end to C. To
this treadle Is hinged the door. a, Of
the nest. The treadle is made Of
h-inch pine stuff with 1h-in hard
wood cieats at each end to hold the
screws which fasten the hinges. 1t Is
u inches wide and 12A inches long.
Across It's upper face, just behind
the hinges holding the door. is nailed

door. The top of the door Is strip
of hard wood 13 inches long and ~

top strip serve as stops for the door
when 1t closes.
The bottom of the door Is hard

strips are fitted into the ends of this
bottom strip in such way as to pro-

To the bottom of this is nailed a

Washington Notes.

The Democrats in Congress are
making good the pledges that
they made to the people last fall.
The House of Representatives
which is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic has passed the Wool Bill by
majority of more than two to
one. This bill cuts the duty in
half on raw wool and makes a
like reduction in the tariff on
manufactured woolen goods.
The effect of this bill, if it ever
becomes law, will enable the
poor people and the middle
classes to buy woolen goods at
reasonable prices, a blessing that
they have not enjoyed during
the reign of Republicanism which
began in the year of 1897 under
VIM. Mckinley. 1t is uncertain
what the fate of this bill will be
when the Senate acts on it, as
the Senate is still overwhelm-
ingly republican.
President Taft is just now
placed in a very singular position,
and from a partisan standpoint,
a very embarrassing one. The
most aggressive support that his
Canadian reciprocity bill has re-
ceived in the Senate comes from
| the Democratic members who re-
gard it as a step in the right di-
Erection, but a great many Repub-
licans are openly and many
others secretely opposing the
passage of this bill which was so
promptly passed by the Demo-
cratic House.
| The Democrats are also en-
deavoring to establish parcel
post in the Post Office Depart
ment which all European coun-
tries enjoy, by allowing articles
of not over II pounds in weight
| to be carried by the mails at a
reasonable rate. However, the
adams Express Company, the
lSouthern Express Co., the Wells
Fargo Express Co., and the
! United States Express Co., are
working with undiminished cour-
age through their own attorneys,
and through the many U. S. Sen
ators, which they absolutely own,
to prevent this government from
establishing this measure.
Some of the fruits Of the Dem
ocratic victory last fall are be-
ginning to develop in the De-
partments. A number of small
acts of burglary by the Republi-
cans in Washington have been
unearthed. For instance tke
pictures of VIM. R. Day who
was Secretary of State during a
part of Mckinley's administra-
tion was painted at the expense
of the Government. The painter
swears that he received $3.50 for
the painting and that he signed a
voucher in blank. The voucher
was then filled out making it ap-
pear that the artist received
S2450 for the painting. In other
words, some of the big thieves in
the State Department robbed
Uncle Sam out of $1,000 on the
price Of that painting. 1t has
also developed that SenatorHale's
son received $4,000 for doing an
imaginary service for the Gov
ernment. Senator Hale was a
great Republican power in the
Senate for 80 years, and of
course his power became so
great that his friends and rela-
tlves enjoyed very unusual priv
ileges in regard to Uncle Sans
money. The Democrats in Con-
gress are looking intoa all sorts of
hooks and corners and it is eX-
pected that many more acts by
big thieves will be discovered in
! tho near future.
