Curious Old lecend.

Here is curious legend of Cologne. Once upon time there was a burgo- meister of the town whose wife died and was buried. In the evening thieves, seeking to take jewels from the dead. opened the coffin. Now it happened that the woman was not dead. but in I trance. and when the thieves broke into her burial place she awoke and went to her home There she called a servant. who ran ill fear to his master and told him what had happened The scared burgomeister replied to this. "I would sooner believe that my horses were looking out of the top floor window than believe that such a thing could be- Scarcely had the words left his mouth than he heard horses galloping up the stairs. In memory of this and of the return of his wife he had two horses heads in stone set in a top floor window of his house, where they remain to this day.

OVER NIGHT

 At the Bradley theater next We'd neSdsy, Oct. 1, William A. Brady will present Over Night, three. act play by Philip II. Bartholomae, which had a most successful run last season in New York city. Up to the time that Over Night was produced Mir. Bartho- iomae was an unknown quantity in the theatrical world, and his was a ease Of becoming famous literally lover night It was almost as much of a surprise to the young author as to it's producer that the little play made such an instantaneous success. The New York critics who usually attend the theatre prepared 10 find fault, were as- toniShed at the cleverneSS of the lines in Over Night, and at the young play- wright's genius for construction and they one and all declared that it was the very best laugh of the season. It has sometimes been termed ithe "fast- going steamboat comedy from the fact that much of the action takes place on board of the Hudson river steamer, The Hendrick Hudson, and the Imaginable situations occur over the mishaps that befall two young mar ried couples on their honeymoon trip from New York to Albany. As the title would suggest, the action takes place in a single night. It is said that Mir. Bartholomae has constructed play which is uprosriously funny, but which, while IL deals with rather delicate subject, never departs from the canons of good tast,. An excellent production of Over Night is promised, and the company, which has been carefully selected, includes the names of several players who are well-known The principal characters are the young folks, and these parts are talk. l en care of by Sam B.

President Taft evidently believes that
the trade agreement with Canada which
he advocates is the best means of avert
ing great deal of hardship that could
come through the more extensive re-
vision of the Payne Aldrich tariff,
favored by the greater number of those
elected by the people to serve in Con-
gress in 191l.l2 The wage earners
have been educated 50 as to believe that
the cost of living, not altogether covered
by increases in wages, is due to excessive
protection of industries. And taking
that opinion, popular for the time being,
into consideration, the question arises
as to whether experiment through some
sort of legislation can be avoided, and
as to which of two experiments, If any
is to be tried would prove the least dis
turbing and harmful. Through a more
extensive undertaking in tariff revision
which would not necessarily give our
business men a compensating advan-
tage III the Canadian market-the farm
ers stand to lose more than they would
under the proposed change of schedules,
through the curtailed means of the
great number engaged in manufacturing,
1t does seem pretty hard lines that the
farmers must, just at first, contribute
more toward the reform demanded than
other citizens; but Judging by all fig
uring the temporary loss would amount
to very little. But figuring and guess
ing will not protect the principle of pro-
lection SO effectually as will experiment
sensibly conducted by its friends. If a
fair trial of the experiment, under con.
ditions, much changed since 1858, shows
the fallacy of the idea, such a result
would serve to discourage all politicians
interested in tariff revision.
We believe that President Taft and
Sir Wilfred Laurier see as statesmen
rather than as politicians in their earn.
est consideration of a great question
and have come to the same conclusion
attained to by many thinkers and ideal
lists, that cooperation as far as trading
goes, is better between near neighbour
than rivalry.

Senator Dillingham's action in voting
for the seating of Senator Lorimer of
Illinois has disappointed if it has not
offended many of his friends. The Sen
ator's statement of his reasons for
voting as he did shows that the evidence
was not all of the same sort, and that
there were two sides to the question.
Two men Of equal ability and high
character, called upon to deal with that
evidence, which could seriously affect
the welfare of the accused senator, could
give differing judgments in the case
one being influenced by the probability
Of completely in the,misdemeanor under
consideration the other firmly believ.
ing that only facts obtained from the
most trustworthy persons, clearly and
directly connecting the Senator with the
purchase of votes, should be used in an
official determination of the case-and
both opinions would be lawful. For
some authorities, when trying cases, ad.

others do not.

With all the agitation of the question
of reciprocity, which has doubtless been
made greater because the two Vermont
Senators took divergent views, there
should be a thorough expression OF
opinion that will enable the Senators to
understand the feelings of their con
stituents when the time comes to vote
again on the proposed measure. a
border state like Vermont, having ex-
tensive railroad connections with Can
ada, is more interested in any question
concerning trade relations with our
ueighbor to the north than most of the
other commonwealths; aud the clearest
view is not always gained by the ob.
server nearest the object.

in THE WORLD Of JUNIORS
Penal Code Sensible and Most Effec-
tive for Punishment of Child
ish Faults.

Public opinion sways the child
world. Sometimes this opinion is Great
ed by what an Intelligent child has
learned through older people, some
times it comes of the children's own
reasoning. And the child who fails
in the etiquette demanded from him
by his own world is punished in the
surest and severest way. Public op1n-
ion is against him or his misdeed; he
must remain on the outside until he
has proved his repentance. There
may be a suggestion for older people
in this method of treating offenders
in, their midst. Punishment by the
family's ostracism may bring a rude
or indifferent-mannered little person
to terms sooner than anything else.
Emerson had a little daughter, Ell
len, who once told lie She was not
punished in the way that you or
might think wise. All the children in
the family were brought together and
told that something very dreadful had
happened in their family; Ellen had
told a lie. They must not romp or
play or sing, for Ellen had told lie.
