developed a dec!ced difference of
opinion on the democratic side.
Representative DalZell of Penn
sylvania and Chairman Payne Of the
ways and means committee explain
ed briefly the provisions Of the meas
ure
Some question arose as to who
should be in charge Of the demo-
cratic time during the general de-
bate, whether it should be a demo-
crat in favor of the bill or one OppOs-
ed to it, This set some of the re-
publicans to laughing.
II hope" said Mr.. Payne, that
the gentlemen on the other side,
who ever they are, can set together
on some gentleman in whom they
have confidence"
After Mr.. Payne had earnestly
urged the passage of the bill Mr..
Clark, the democratic leader in the
house, took the floor.
For sometime, he said, there
has been proposition pending in the
United States, in a sort Of a nebulOus
way, for a tariff cOmmission-th

is idiotic because the constitution Of
the United States absolutely pre-
cludes such a performance.
The proposition for a tariff board
has been so amended in this pending
bill that the board shall report to
the president or report to the house.
On the motion of the democrats on
the committee it was fixed so that
the house shall be competent or able
to direct the subjects that this board
shall investigate. That makes an en-
tirely different situation I voted
for that bill in the committee; l am
going to vote for it here
Representatives Brantley of GeOr-
gia, Underwood of Alabama, RandeIl
of Texas, Pou Of North Carolina, and
Borland of Missouri spoke from the
democratic side in favor of the
board. Mr.. Brantley declared that
accurate information could not pos
5ibly embarTass the democrats. Mr..
Underwood said he had opposed a
reporting only to the
president, but he favored a board up

spark plug.
The GeOrgians made their way on
down stream, however, and reached
their destination Scarcely had they
landed when a lanky individual in a
batteau joined them. He proved to
be the sheriff, and HAD a warrant for
the whole outfit, including the boat.
He explained that the owner of
launch at the little town where the
party had stopped had missed his
spark plug, and naturally thought
the GeOrgian6 had swiped it. To

The GeOrgians at length succeeded
in convincing the sheriff of their in
nocence.
Boys" said the sheriff, I have
come a long ways, and I bedog if I

some Of you play poker with me?"
Three or four of a party from a
town long noted for it's sporting pro-

of their hearts, to accommodate the
disappointed custodian of the law
The game had not progressed long
ere the high sheriff saw his last nick

A Jersey COW is going to be added
to the mena erie in Central Park,
New York, as an educational exhibit
for the children of that city. 1t was
represented to Park Commissioner
Slower that there are thousands of
pupils in the public schools that have
never seen a COW and have a crude
conception as to the source Of the
city'S milk supply.
There are sheep and goats in the
park, and the commissioner thinks
the children shot have a chance
to become familiar VIII all domes-

breed will be selected, because Jer-
seys yield an abundance Of riCh milk.
The milking will be done in the pad
dock, where the children may see it.
The menagerie folk have to buy milk
for the monkeys and the young of
other animals, and there will be a
double advantage in having milch

near the cape buffaloes, zebras and
other hoofed animals.

Suits against five salary loan

The first cool days Of the waning
summer are always attended by f.
nancial losses, which, instead OF
arousing sympathy, provoke smiles
of derision. These particular losses
result from making use of the parlor
or sitting room stove as a bank In
which hard-earned savings, or hard
earned earnings, are deposited from
time to time by the head of the
household. Generally the reason for
this method is a fear on the part OF
the hoarder that 1t would be running
too great risk to entrust the saw
ings to regularly established and
responsible bank. But, be the
reason what 1t may, the savings from
the garden truck, eggs, poultry and

MORE ABOUT BEANS.

by the way, was exactly four dollars
less than the price paid for the friends
costume. What did 1t mean? Let
ME tell you. The woman who looked
SO well In her ready-made frock was
small. SO small that she could never
be fitted with the adult shop style,
So she was perforce compelled to buy
misses garments, and misses wear,
must tell you, has about the best
stamp OF anything in the shops. The
styles are simpler than those for
adults, the various articles are more
daintily turned out, and last, but not
least, a misses garment is always sew
eral dollars cheaper than the same
thing. In the same material, for her
mother. The shops are loath to en-
courage adult buyers in this depart
ment, women who are plainly looking
for things for themselves; so some
times 1t needs little scheming in
order to be shown the articles. The
eighteen-year sizes actually fit many
women of medium height and build,
and there is scarcely ever any of the
costly alterations that make womens
garments so dear and unsatisfactory.
Our illustration shows a woman's
dress in a style that could be bought
In eighteen-year old size in any shop,
the materials being the modest woods

Good Roads in the South.


That the good roads movement Ii
making notable progress in the
South appears from the estimate
that $4,000 miles Of roads were inn
proved in southern states from 1904
b 1879 AID that subsequent inn
proyements have brought the total
up to 42,2S0 miles. These figures,
according to the Manufacturers
Record, indicate that within five
years the South has increased itc
miles of better roads by 100 per cent.
Today there is said to be available
for road Improvement in the South
more than s40,600, 900, practically
double the expenditure of 1904 and
many large bond issues and special
levies will give more money for the
purpose before the end of the year
The Southern Railways special
train for the teaching of methods
and advantages of good roads has
lately ended tour of six months
through Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Virginia, North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia and north
ern Florida. Other railroads have
done similar work, with good results.
Dixie land is progressing in many
ways, and nowhere is its progress
more in evidence than in these fig
