Senator Hepburn, Of Idaho, yesterday
successfully combated an effort by SEN

immediate consideration the latter's bill
providing for a stricter observance Of
the Sabbath in the District of Columbia
Soon after Senators Gallinger and Jones
had finished reporting number of Dis
trict measures, Mr.. Johnston asked for
unanimous consent to the consideration
of his bill Immediately Senator Hey
burn, whose opposition was not expected.
raised objection. Next Mr.. Johnston's
motion to proceed to the consideration Of
his bin was victorious on viva voce
vote, but Senator Hepburn made the
point Of no quorum. When a quorum
had been assembled, however. there were
not enough seconds to Mr.. Johnston's
request for a roll call to proceed with
the consideration Of the bill.
It is not known when Mr.. Hepburn
win be ready TO allow the matter to come
to a,vote, but already the Idaho solon is

california DRIED Fruit Short.

The shortage of the raisin crop is
becoming more and more apparent, ac-
cording to reports that are coming in
from the raisin drying section of Cali
fornia. From Raisin Row in Fresno
comes the report that not only is the
drying proceeding slowly, but almost
all the packers are on the ragged edge
of not getting their orders filed, and
some are certain they will find them
selves short The first car of 1911 raj
sins to 90 out of Hanford was shipped
during the past week. Hanford people
state that the price of ralsins is bound
to 90 up at an early date. One packer
in this district has recently purchased
block of raisins for March delivery at
sc. Raisins of the 1911 crop are begin
ming to arrive at the packing houses in
plentiful quantities. The recent warm
weather has served to cure the fruit
rapidly, and reports say that there is a
great demand from the east for the
new crop.
Drying of peaches is reported about
completed and the output is short of
earlier estimates. Packers have sent
men out with as low as s%c for
peaches, but &c has been the general
figure. However, there have been some
purchases at 1Oc per pound.
Prunes were very low at the begin
ming of the season, but now that prod
uct is high.

COMPETING WITH A DENTIST
Jonathan Drew Of Indiana Was Sorry
That He Tried TO Extract
His Tooth.

Jonathan Drew, who resides in In
diana, had a curious experience the
other day.
Jonathan developed toothache
that made him sit up and take notice.
He tried various remedies without
avail and finally went to the dentist.
Jonathan asked the dentist how much
he would charge to yank the aching
molar, and the dentist told Jonathan
90 cents, which was his regular rate.
Now Jonathan is a practitioner of
economy even in the matter of having
an aching tooth pulled. so he tried
to beat the dentist down to a quarter.
but the forceps artist refused to cut
rates.
Very we'll" said Jonathan, then
I'll let the blamed tooth ache-if the
tooth can stand 1t, 1 can" So iona.
than went back home with his face
in his hand.
That evening the molar got down to
business in earnest Jonathan walked
the floor in agony-and he stepped
lively, too. At last he could stand the
exquisite pain no longer, so he tied
one end of piece of picture wire to
the tooth and the other end to stone
weighing about five pounds.
Then he stood before a window,
with his mouth open and his eyes
shut, counted three and threw the
stone-which went through the win
dow and struck Abe Winslow, a neigh
Dor. terrific wallop on the head. In
cidentally the wire broke and the ach
ing tooth still stayed put.
After Abe had regained conscious
ness he invited Jonathan to step out
into the street a minute, as he had
something important to say to him
Like lamb to the slaughter Jonathan
went, and Abe gave Jonathan what
was probably one of the worst lick
ings man ever had visited upon him
Jonathan is now suffering not only
from toothache, but the faceache, anC
his face aches so that he is hardly
conscious of the toothache.
This little incident teaches tina
when We have toothache we SHOULD
not try to compete with a first-clasl
dentist.-Philadelphia Times

for the occasion, inasmuch as the lady
played an important part at the time
of the war with Germany. She had
charge Of the telegraph Office at Pithi-

day, pretending they had been seized.
At night she brought them out and
succeeded in tapping the wires over
which the German communications
were passing. The information thus
received she communicated to General
d'Aurelie de Paladines. She was dis

Riding the Combers.

AS the very strongest man in the
world is a weakling in the grasp of a
good-sized comber, such waves must
to be at home in the breakers, even
beyond your depth, 1t is only neces-
sary to know what a wave really is
and where 1t is weak. Many people
believe their eyes, and are sure that
a wave travels. The water moves up
and down, and the motion forward,
but the water doesn't travel. Conse-
quently, if you get beyond the break
ers, the waves will go up and down
and carry you with them, but won't
sweep you forward.
Near the shore the waves behave
differently; they curl over the break,
and there the water, as well as the
motion, travels. And, If you are just
at the curling-point, the water will
pick you up and sweep you in, and
you can literally ride the waves, than
which there is no finer sport in the
sea. But woe unto you If you get a
bit ahead of the curling waterfront
for then you will be turned over and
twisted around and flung to the bot
tom.
Hence, 1t is wise to experiment with
little waves first and learn just where
they do break and just where they
actually commence to exert a forward
movement on your body before test
ing your swimming powers in the
surf-Woman's Home Companion.

years of self-government the Cubans
failed in the primary purposes of all
governments-to secure the safety Of
life and property-this country was

again be lowered in Cuba
