Taft Growing Anxious.

Although he has given no signs of
abating interest in his legislative pro-
gram at least to the extent of propos-
ing to abandon anything, President
Taft is growing anxious over the situa-
ton in congress and wants the Repub-
lieaan leaders to RAIL-, to the support OF
his program and enact various bills
now pending. This was shown when
Senators Beveridge and Warren and
representative Tawney, chairman of
the appropriations committee, were
called to the White House for con.
ference.
President Taft made it plain to the
congress leaders who called that he
wants the tariff commission plan to be
the first of his measures enacted at
this session. Representative Tawney
said that an appropriation of 100000
to allow the present tariff board to
continue it's work for two years would
be included in the sundry civil bill and
probably passed without much diff.
Guilty. This is taken to mean that the
permanent tariff commission, as pro-
posed in the Longworth and Lodge
bills, probably will not get through at
this session.

HAMMOND THINKS WAYS AID
MEANS COMMITTEE SHOULD
FRAME MEASURE.
COMES UP NEXT SESSION
Minnesotan Is in Favor Of Revision
Schedule by scheduIe.-St. croix
Dam Boosted.-other Con-
gressionai News.

washington, ~. " - hSpTeSeHtd-
tive w. S. Hammond of Minnesota,
the Northwestern Democratic member
of the ways and means committee tor
the next congress, has positive con-
victions regarding what the Democrat
ic party should do in the tariff mat
press them. Mr. Hammond declared
that in his opinion the ways and means
committee, as framed by the Demo-
cratic caucus, should proceed prompt
ly to investigate the tariff question
with view to completing bill to
be considered by the next congress
| 1t was announced by Chairman I'm
derwood Of the Democratic end of the
| ways and means committee that on
Friday next the Democratic members
of the proposed committee will meet
to outline a plan of procedure.
This plan Is in accordance with the
views entertained by Representative
Hammond, who said: I'm my opinion
the best possible progress can be made
I by the Democrtic committee in pro-
ceeding to revise the tariff schedule
by schedule think this is preferable
to a general revision plan. 1t seems
to me that in view of the criticism
that has been made of the wool and
WOODEN goods schedule by President
Taft and others, that this schedule
was the result of an agreement be-
tween the wool growers and the man
ufacturers. and is unnecessarily high:
that this schedule should be early
considered The cotton goods sched.
ule also requires some important
changes"
Mr.. Hammond is ready to meet the
proposition that has been advanced
that a proper consideration of the high
cost of living problem requires assent
to the proposition that there shall be
substantial reductions of the duties in
agricultural products, in line with the
general plan of lowering duties pro-
posed by his party.
while I do not know that any agri-
cultural products should be placed on
the free list" Mr.. Hammond said. Il
am satisfied that reductions on duties
in the agricultural schedule will be
justified in the interests of gen.
eral lowering of the tariff and in the
interests of cheaper food producers. /
have taken this position during my
discussion of the tariff question at diff
ferent times. While the Payne bill
was under consideration in the last
congress l opposed the idea then sug-
gested for reducing the duties on bar
ley because regarded that as an I'M
warranted move by the masters to
obtain cheaper barley. and in other
words singing out one agricultural
product rather than consistent treat
ment of duties throughout the agricul-
tllral schedule"

 "Can I give name that ain't me own?" asked TX O" of the court.
 The magistrate wanted TO know what was up of course, and expressed as tonishment when he was told that the quiet. pleasant looking little chap was the tighter who is working his way toward the top of the pugilistic tree.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in the urine, head ache, back ache, lame back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous ness, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.
 Bladder troubles almost always result from derangement of the kidneys and better health in that organ is obtained quickest by proper treatment of the kid neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effec. of Swamp-Root the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest be- cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince anyone.

There is an amusing aDecdote about King Louis of Bavaria in Lady Doro- thy Nevill's "reminiscences: "Resolv- ing to relieve the needs of one of his poor but brave aidde-camps. he sent him a small portfolio, bound like a book. in which were deposited 800 crowns Some time afterward he met the officer and said to him. An. well. how did you like the new work which I sent you?' Excessively. sire. re piled the colonel T read it with such interest that l expect the second vol ume with impatience The king smil- ed. and when the officers birthday ar rived he presented him with another portfolio similar in every respect to the first, but with these words engrav- ed upon it: This book is complete in two volumes.'"

Not long ago pair of penguins at the London ZOO became the parents of baby penguin. Penguins are sell dom seen In captivity. so the advent of the baby was a matter of great inter- est to naturalists and the public gen eralE. The penguin's home is in he southern hemisphere. and they live amid the ice. The wings have only rudimentary quills and are used as paddles The young are born covered with down. but are very helpless and require to be tended for a long period In the nest. The food of pengiuns consists exclusively of ish. which the birds capture beneath the surface by their agility in swimming and diving, when their paddle-like wings serve them to good purpose. So thoroughly at home are they in the water that they at first glance are often mistaken for dolphins or porpoises.

Remarkable Fish.

The curiously named trigger fish are plentiful in Japanese waters. They are of the balistes genus. and their popular name is derived from the trig- ger-like peculiarity of the second spine of the dorsal fin. When the fin is erected the first ray. or spine. which Is very thick and strong. maintains its elevated position so firmly that it can not be pressed down by any degree of force. but If the second spine is press ed the first immediately falls down with a spring. like the hammer of a gunIock when the trigger Is pulled

As he passed a jagged rock his coat caught, and it was taken off his back as neatly as if somebody had tried to hold him up by the ends of the sleeves By the time he reached the end of his fall he had lost shoe as well. In return for these losses he received large black and blue bruise on his back. but other wise his thirty foot tumble did not do him much harm.
