George f. Clymer. the lawyer, tells
this one:
81 was travelling in the West some
time ago, and as l vas at the railroad
station in Denver 1 overheard a con-
v~ersation hat amused me. 1t was
quite typical of the place. 1t was be-
tween an agent or promoter of a mine
in Leadville and a rich Irishman from
the windy CITY, Apparently the
man from Chicago had been shown some
gold-mining properties in Leadville,
hadn't thought much Of the prospects
and was on his way home. The agent
or promoter, however, was trying to
get in a last word at the railroad sta
ton. But he wasn't quick enough for
the rich man from Chicago, for the last
thing 1 heard him say, just as the
conductor shouted "All aboard, J" was:
"Say, young man, I have a fine cellar
in my house in Chicago, n l just
whitewashed it myself"
Here's the latest one told by Post
master James L. Hays, who is a Meth
odist and one of the first members of
the Ocean Grove Association: "A little
girl, playing with two kittens, was inn
mersing them in a tub of water. bap-
tizing them. as it were. After the little
girl had soused' the W kittens she
got hold OF the mother cat and at
tempted to baptixe her. But the old
cat refused to be ducked and h little
tot, unable to master the mother cat,
exclaimed, oh, you're no Baptist at all;
you're a Methodist"
Samuel W. B~oardman, jr., who was
a candidate for an Assembly nomina-
ton on the Progressive Republican
ticket, was once a candidate for the
Board of Education in Bloomfield. He
got out a circular which read: Vote
for the Board-man.'' W~hereupon his
opponent came back with a circular
which said: Yes. vote for the ode
man; vote for the p~lockhead."

Decentralization Of Novels.

1t is probable hat every writer of
short stories or of novels, with any
~pretensions to n kind of ability in
that line, invariably has his eye upon
the stage. The stage is to the talent of
the fiction writer what Wall Street is
to the pocket of the public. There are
apparently so many striking successes
governed frequently by chance and
good luck that the result has come to
be. as one man put it, that every other
individual on Broadway, no matter who
he is, has a play up his sleeve.

cred that one Nof her most promising
pupils, Rose Carson, was taking pro-
fessional dancing lessons of Makaroff,
who taught for the stage, she gave no
tice to Rose Carson's father hat Rose
must either leave off dancing or must
leave Miss Sheffield's school. At the
end of the interview between Miss Shelf
field and Roses father the latter put
Miss Sheffield a final question:
Tell me, Miss Sheffield, tell me what
is exactly your own personal prejudice
against d%ancing?"
He bent to her a confidential ear.
Miss Sheffield at this juncture breathed
some word that sounded like limbs.
oh said Roses father, why, 1t is
a well-known fact that women don't
have legs. They go on springs
Miss Sheffield FASTENED, and 1t was
after she was well down the steps that
Roses father said:
by Jove, l believe she does" By
which he doubtless meant that Miss
Sheffield went on springs, though he
did not say so.
The book gets its title from itself.
Rose Carson is a professional dancer
at the head of her profession. The
writing of a book is to her the riding
of a big horse. Rose tells her own
story. and it is vibrant with her own
personality. The reader has a constant
sense of fear that Rose is always in
danger, but singular as it may seem,
it was her ambition as a dancer that
saved her from herself. h gives us
frequent sllmpses of her professional
life, and it all rings true.
Every night in my spring chorus l
appeared before i public clad in Loop
ard skins leading a picked band of
leopard-clad wonen-picked for their
beauty rather than worthier qualities
and together we danced, the whole
blessed seventeen of us. We snarled
rather han smiled-slant-eyed, sly. 1t
was the sort of dance you might dream
about on a moonlit wind-swept night,
with Pan playing his pipes On the hill
side"
There We're no cheap boarding-houses
for Rose Carson. She knew nothing of
the men who hang around stage doors.
She began at the top, not at the bot
tom. Her profession would not let her
fall in love. Finally she married Simon
Featherly, of Wall Street. Simon was
very rich and very powerful, but Rose
tired of him exceedingly. After that
Penny Black entered the arena of
events. For the first time in her life
Rose found that she actually possessed
a heart. What happened after she dis
covered that her own father had found
his affinity in Mrs. Penny Black must
be left to the reader to discover.
The story is not a plot; 1t is a career.
Behind the telling of 1t Is a personality
vibrant with life. There were big
temptations, no little ones, and big
fights. Between the woman that Rose
Carson really was and the professional
dancer hat she had come to be, strange
as 1t may seem, it was the dancer who
held her to a straight course.
The story is full of sex philosophy.
1t is one of the most satisfactory and
charming stories of the year.

CONDUCTOR KILLED.
Northern Pacific Employc Crushed
Between Cars at Eureka Saturday.

Walla Walla, March 13.-Conductor
A. D. Brewer, a regular main line
conductor for the Northern Pacific
who had been running until recently
out of Spokane, was killed at Eure-
ka Saturday afternoon.
He had been ordered out on this
train Saturday afternoon and every
thing went all right until they reach
ed Eureka.
1t seems that Conductor Brewer
was standing on one side of the track
and was signaling the engineer to
back up with the two or three cars
that were attached to the engine.
When the cars had almost reached
him he started to step across the track
his foot was caught in cattle guard,
and before he could extricate himself
the cars were upon him. He was out
of sight of the fireman and engineer
who supposed that everything was all
right and before he was missed the
train had almost passed over him.
Death was instantaneous for the body
was terribly mangled.
As soon as discovered he was picked
up, carried to the caboose and brought
t. this city by a special, Brakeman j.
F. Foster and ]. E. Rowe of Pasco,
accompanying.

MARTIAL LAW MEANS
WHOLESALE MURDER

Washington, March 13.-The estab-
lishment of martial law in Mexico
means wholesale murder, unrestricted
shooting and killing with anarchistic
riots, said Juan Azonca, a political
refugee here today. The reign of
murder will be started by the execu-
ton of $500 political prisoners con-
fined in Mexican jails. The revolution
will continue. 1t may sound para
doxical but the revolutionists will be
glad if the prisoners are shot They
must die slowly by disease or starva-
ton anyway so the bullets simply
saves suffering and at the same time
will add thousands to the revolution
airy cause.

The battle was spectacular and was
witnessed by several thousand Amer

in automobiles who gave the first
aid to the wounded, hurrying them to

nit in any way jeopardize the titles
to the lands that had been sold un-
der contract to buyers, most of whom
were non-residents. the fact that 1t
caused matters to be badly tied up did
have the effect of creating a feeling
of uneasinuess for there was no ef-
fort being made to carry on further
sale of the lands, and therefore many
of those who had bought lands under
contract were slow to make further
payments and also hesitated to carry
on the improvement of the land.
These conditions have to some extent
retarded the general growth of this
community, but since this is over
there is already a much more salts
fled feeling abroad among our people
and plans are being laid to make some
substantial improvements in the
town and vicinity Immediately.

Ways And Means Committee
Has Strenuous Two Months
In Prospect.
MUST CONSTRUCT A PAYNE
AIDRICH TARIFF SUCCESSOR,
VIII Attempt to Revise Schedule by
Schedule-May Compel Tafts Sup
port by Tacling Reciprocity Treaty
Onto End of Tariff Bill-Hoped to
Widen Republican Breach.

Washington, March 13.-These
days are sad days for the new demo-
cratic ways and means committee. All
they are supposed to do in the next
two months is to change the entire
system of tariff framing, grant hear
ings to interested parties-tnat is,
constructively speaking, raise the tar
iff wall. build a careful revenue
only structure in its place; bone" up
on the dreary piles of statistics of i'm
ports, manufactures, cost of labor and
transportation and finally bring into
being a successor of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law.
1t took the republican ways and
means committee practically a year
to accomplish the present tariff law
and the democrats must do the
same work in two months, if they
can. But they lack a majority in the
senate, and are handicapped by re-
publican administration in charge Of
the executive departments, and there
is big chance that Taft, a strong
proponent of the present tariff, may
veto their measures even if they
succeed in jamming the proposed
| schedules through congress.
All Summer Session.
In light of these distractions, lead
j ers on both sides are almost unani-
nous in the opinion that the extra
| session will not end before October.
1t is known that Uncle Joe" Can
non has made arrangements to re-
main in Washington until November.
t. 10
| the coming session may establish
record. The extra session of 1909
| lasted 144 days-and the present rec
ord of 166 days made in 1S41 may
GO by the boards in 1911 with a 200
day session.
| A democratic caucus has already de-
/ termined in favor of a schedule by
| schedule revision of the Payne law.
| This means that the ways and means
committee can concentrate their en-
ergy by taking up a schedule at a
! time and get each schedule through
congress before tackling another.
This system vii ldelay the final repeal
of the Payne law and it is believed it
will have less drastic effect on ,ne
industrial world than a brand new
tariff law.
1t is probable that the democrats
will hold Taft's pet measure-Cana-
dian reciprocity in allegiance or will
tack it on to their schedule by sched-
ule revision program. This it is ar
gued will gain Tafts support to re-
vision and prevent him from vetoing
the democratic tariff measure. Should
the latter proposition obtain it is
probable that reciprocity win be held
up until few new tariff propositions
have been put UP to the president and
the republican senate.
All in all, the democrats are pre-
pairing to make things interesting for
, Taft and the senate. They hope to
! widen the breach between the old
| guard in the senate and the progress
| sives, and in other ways to embarrasS
the republican leaders.

Plans to forestall a congressional at

out is no indication that conflict is
about to occur between the United

merely that the United States is de-

practice the war game simultaneously.
