DEMOCRATS JOIN WITH
 fROGRESSIVES IN PASSING
 LA TOILETTE SUBSTTTTrvE pJrI

Washington, July 27-Progressive
 Republicans joined with Democrats in the Senate, this afternoon, to adont by vote of 4S to 32 the LaFoIIette substitute wool tariff revision bill
 The action came after the ioint forces, acting apparently under a dis tlnct understanding, had voted down a previous motion to adopt the same substitute. It was believed this af- ternoon that the action of the Senate will put up to the President the most perplexing dilemma in his administra- t1on-that of being forced to choose between revision of the wool sched- ule adopted by the Democrats and their progressive Republican onnon- ents, and the question of exercising his veto of a bill reducing the duties on schedule which he himself de- clared "indefensible"
 The bill will go to conference with he House.
 Thirteen Republicans voted ewith the Democrats on the LaFollette bill Bourne, Bristol, Brown of Nebraska ;lapp. Crawford, Cummins. Gronna' Kenyon, LaFollette, McCumoer. NeI, on, Poindexter and Works.

 in the Senate today to the bill report.

 Senator McNeil's amendment follow
 ca along the lines of the decision of
 the United States Supreme court in

 uard OH under the Sherman anti trust

 senator Judson explained that the erect of the McNeil amendment would be to change the common law while the bill as it stood. was sim. ply declaratory of the common law. senator Peck of Danbury opposed the amendment on the ground that if let ooWn the bars and permitted dealers Io enter into a combination and to i1x prices by combining.

ALLIGATORS ON THE BRAIN.
Attack of Saurian Freight on Train
Crew i'm Charge of ,Gators

Los Angeles, Cal-The entire train
crew of Southern Pacific train
stampeded into the offices of the
trainmaster and tried to resign.
II tell you l have got them said
burly brakeman, "snd l haven't ta-
ken a drop in six months"
Il saw them myself" said the con-
ductor. 'and here's where / quit"
Never again for mine,' said the
engineer. "Once is enough for any
man. l am not superstitious, but
when thing like that sticks its head
out of cabbage crate and leers al
you it is time to quit"
Allgators. alligator eggs and hap
py, singing jumping bullfrogs were
the animated sources of the train
crews perturbatons. They came in
crates, like cabbages, 500 wriggly
gators, 1900 alligator eggs and 200
healthy bullfrogs in good working or
der.
The uncanny shipment was deliv-
cred yesterday afternoon in good con-
dition to t V. Earnest. proprietor of
the Los Angeles alligator farm at
Eastlake Park. About twenty bull
frogs had croaked in a metaphorical
sense and two or three alligator eggs
had lost their chance for incarna-
ton in the present cycle, but every
alligator arrived as healthy and APP
parent yas happy as when leaving
the Louisiana marshes.
One of them is fifteen feet long
and weighs 900 pounds in the crate.
The present shipment brings the
collection of the farm to something
more than 20GO alligators and when
the eggs have been Matched the num-
Der will Apr )ximate 5000.
An alligator lays evenly eggs per
season, SO that a mother alligator is
too busy for politics. They are about
the size of duck eggs and resemble
them very much. In buying duck
eggs persons cannot exercise too much
care in avoiding an unfortunate mis-
take. Alligator eggs might be delight
full food. but as a table delicacy they
have not yet become popular.

Do Not Peel Potatoes or Apples Thin
Enough, Says Lady Who Mixes, Bat
ter With One Hand While Other
Does Something Else.

Boston, Mass, Dec. i6 More than
$50 100000 is thrown away every
year by cooks, chefs, housekeepers
and no pital nurses, according to
Miss Fannie Merritt Farmer, world
famous as an exponent of scientific
cooking.
So Farmer ought to know. She
can mix up a batter with one hand;
/ break half dozen eggs with the
other for a New England sunshine
cake; attend to the baking of south
ern apple cobbler," and see to it
that the meat doesn't burn as she
passes by the stove to concoct the in
gradients for some luscious dessert
all at the same time. And she can do
this without any waste. Miss Farmer
has been making delicious edibles
for some years over two decades, and
she's been teaching others how to
make them without spending too
much money.
Miss Farmer, according to herself
is no radical but she does get mad"
when she sees the way the young
wife or the careless cook or the non
thinking nurse, will murder good
food"
Miss Farmer said "The cost of
living has certainly gone UP with
skips and jumps" and it costs more
money to make a cake or pie or
roast beef for dinner than former
ly. It's true that many grocers by
their counter characteristics, appear
to be descended from those rowing
,..ba
Main. But-and spell it with cap
itals-the grocer isn't to blame for
more than so per cent of the high
cost of living nor the cost of high
living, either
Much of the waste is through ig-
norance More is wasted through
carelessness and the growing shift

meyer describes the fight as unparal-
leied by anything he has ever seen.
The bulls were dehorned about the
last of August and It was the first
time they have been permitted, to
come together since. Jumbo weighed
about 400 pounds. while his rival
weighs but 1900. Job, however, is
younger and had the advantage of
agility and endurance.
Time after time the animals would
retreat a distance from each other
and then come together with such
force that they were thrown by the
recoil back on their launches.
The herd of elks stood about watch

victor as their leader. From now on
Jumbo takes second place.
