 Yes" Daphne said, Mrs. General Blazes."
 Harry looked at the door of his room, expecting Mrs. Blazes to come forth and enter the discussion. What construction Daphne might put on her presence, concealed, in his house, he feared to imagine. This, coupled with his old Irritation with Daphne, and her sensistively jealous disposi- tion, would be sure to make things unpleasant for him.
 ''Why?" she asked. What Is Mrs. Blazes to you?"
 Nothing" Harry said, fervently. Absolutely nothing"
 Well, you acted queer. You al- ways did act queer" Daphne said. Anyway, the other hat was sent here, and I want to get it."
 But it isn't here," Harry assured her. If it were, I wouldn't let you have it, because I want one like it my self Can't you make one for me?"
 ''I might" Daphne said, assuming the coy air that she fancied to be so irresistible Why do you want hat? Is it for your sister?"

 "Ya gods! Daphne Daff1ngton!"
 She looked h1m over coolly, and said:

 Daphne stopped him with steely glance, and demanded:
 Where's that hat I sent here?"
 Harry stared at her for the moment with utter blankness. Then it slowly filtered through his brain that she was the milliner to whom Mrs. Blazes had telephoned. Daphne misinter- preted his stare for one of admiration. and with a remarkable imitation Of shyness. she asked:

 Its a beaut," Harry informed her. Its beaut. How do you get 1t on? With a shoe horn?"
 There you go again." Daphne said, accusingly. You were always so full of sarcasm that you acted sour. I want that hat sent over here"

ASKS DELAY ON RECIPROCITY
Resolution Adopted by Minnesota
Senate.

st. Paul, Feb. 22.-After a debate
which consumed practically all the
forenoon and during the course of
which Senator McGrath hotly de-
clared that President Taft either
lied" while making his tariff speech
at Winona two years ago, or is Lying"
now when he proposes to remove the
tariff on Canadian products, the sem
ate adopted the Rockne resolution re-
questing the Minnesota senators and
representatives in congress to use all
the power at their command to post
pone until next December action on
the Canadian reciprocity treaty.
The debate brought out the fact that
majority of the senators are not fa-
miliar with the terms of the treaty
and they want the measure laid over
until the farmers of the state learn
it's provisions. The resolution was
adopted by vote of rs to 36.
The house passed the Congdon re-
apportionment bill by a vote of IS
to 81.

HIS Hines NOT ALARMING
Early Recovery of Charles G. Gates
Predicted

New York, Feb. 22.-Charles G
Gates is resting comfortably at his
home. The corps of physicians in at.
tendance predict his early recovery
from "chauffeur's knee" which
though more painful, is really little
more alarming than "housemaid' S
knee"
The "chauffeur's knee" blythe way
is a common malady in this taxicab-
bing town. Few automobile pilots
have escaped an attack of it now and
then. 1t comes from letting the crank
slip before you get your knee out OF
the way. 1t is very painful at first
and you feel as if you had lost your
kneecap. 1t infiicts a bad bruise and
sometimes the skin breaks Then
there is congestion conducive to pro

CIVIL WAR NEAR
IN PLAGUE REGION
Thousands Of Starving Chinese
Turn Bandits.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-Disturb
ances almost amounting to civil wal
are prevalent in the plague infested
regions of Manchuria, due to the clos
ing of nearly all industries as a result
of the plague.
Thousands of unemployed have
turned bandits and many villages have
been looted.
The Chinese troops have 5eeI
beaten in several engagements with
the rioters and have been forced tt
assume the defensive.
1t is feared here that unless the
plague can be checked soon the whole
of Manchuria will be plunged into
disorders of unprecedented magni
tude.
A meteorological report on the eff
feet of the serum used in combating
the plague shows that the toxin ha:
done no more than to prolong life il
a small percentage of cases. There
are no accredited cures.

OUTLOOK SEEMS
TO Be BRIGHTER
Senate May Reach Vote on
Canadian Reciprocity.
PROGRESSIVES COOL DOWN

Not Prepared to Shoulder the Respon.
sbility for Nonaction at This Ses.
sion-Four or Five Standpat Repub-
licans Now the Only Obstacle to Fa.
vorable Action in the Upper Branch
of Congress.
Washington, Feb. 22.-The outlook
for the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment is a good deal brighter than 1t
has been at any time since it came
over to the senate from the house.
Certain senators who had planned
to resort to obstructive methods in or
der to prevent vote at this session,
1t is said, have reached the decision
that it will not be wise for them to
stand in the way of vote. Two or
three of the progressive Republican
senators, who a week ago were plan
ming to introduce amendments to the
agreement enlarging the free list and
who were at that time disposed to pre-
pare themselves to talk at great
length in support of their amend.
cision that they desire not to shoulder
the responsibility for nonaction in the
agreement at this time.
Senator Cummins of Iowa had given
out his intention of proposing some
amendments, but he is now making it
plain that he will not stand in the way
of a vote. With the progressive Re-
publicans coming around in favor of
permitting a vote the situation is
somewhat simplified.
Holding out against a vote at this
session are four or five standpat Re-
publican senators. Senator Hepburn
of Idaho is looked upon as the most
stubborn man in the lot. So far the
administration has not been able to
make any headway in it's efforts to
persuade him to consent to a vote.
Senator Hale of Maine is just as bit
terly opposed to the agreement as is
Hepburn, but he is not physically able
to lead a fight against an agreement to
vote.
The president has made notable
progress in overcoming the opposition
to the agreement among senators and
the prevailing view is that if he con-
tinues to make such headway for the
next four or five days as he has made
In the last week he will obtain a vote,
and vote, of course, means that the
agreement will be ratified.
