Sam Knew the Real Governor.

The late Senator Taylor was fond
OF telling an incident that happended
while he was governor Of Tennessee.
Then he was quite irregular about-corn-

to come to luncheon. That annoyed
Mrs. Taylor very much. One day the
governor came to his midday meal on

the course Of his address the commits

them that none but q savage painted

finished Spotted Tail arose.
'You say we are savages because we
paint our faces and bodies," he said.
Last spring I was in Washington and

All the white women at that ball had
their faces painted. do not think we

Washington.-President Taft closed
O day Of conferences on the Panama
canal bill with a special message to
Congress suggesting the passage Of
legislation which would permit Ameri-
can ships to travel the canal toll free
and which would also allow foreign
nations to test the legality Of this pro-
vision by suits in United States courts.
The President discussed the message
with senators and members Of the
House and its wording was finally de-
cided upon at a Cabinet meeting. The
message was read in Congress soon Of
terward and will be taken up by COM
mittees of both houses.
It was the belief expressed here that
an effort will be made to meet his
wishes, although some leaders, partic-
ularly in the House. were inclined to
believe the message meant no further
canal action at the present session.
Taft explained he was anxious to
sign the present bill, but wished to
assure other governments of the spirit
Of fairness on the part of the United
States.
The President was told that an act
Of Congress would have the effect OF
abrogating any treaty previously
agreed to and the decision Of the su-
preme Court over the Chinese exclu-
sion act was given as authority for
the statement. His suggestion to Con
gress for additional legislation de-
signed to prevent any such construc-
ton as that OF the Supreme Court in
the Chinese case would allow for
eigners to try their cause in the Unit
ed States courts.

Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1912-10-30


A few years ago a small procession
Of French troopers triumphantly es-
corted nergeant carrying two postage
stamps. The story of the latter Is In
teresting. The sergeant, belonging to
the French contingent Of the troops of
occupation, arrived in Crete with O
young Creole wife, whom he had mar
ried while he was serving In a French
colony. She brought him no dover in
money, but handsome marriage por-
ton all the same, consisting of two
postage stamps. These are rare speci.
mems of Mauritian issues. and have
been estimated by experts as worth
f1,600
The sergeant was told that their val
ne would increase, and instead of sell
ing them he had them framed and
placed bis treasure in Cretan bank.
As the time was approaching for the
departure Of the troops of occupation
he went to the bank with his wife to
withdraw his deposit. and his comrades
formed a procession to escort the cou-
pie carrying home their fortune in two
postage stamps.

10 Woman Too Fresh?

Woman is no longer the salt of the
earth; man is, according to the latest
discoveries of science as chronicled In
the FA-is Matin. Not since Lots wife
hSS wonsan had enough chloride Of
Sodium in her makeup, and that is the
explanation of her general inferiority
to man. Woman, says science. Is too
fresh. The newest conclusion Of the
laboratory is that the physical and
mental development Of human being
depends on the percentage Of salt In
the blood. The blood Of the man has
more salt than the blood of the woman.
and for that reason woman can never
expect to equal the Steiner sex In
physical force, reason or intelligence.
There is In the Mathis scientific dis
cussion but one redeeming assertion In
favor of womanhood-that is, that
since her facial angle is nearer to that
of the higher animals than mans is.
for that reason her senses are duller
and pain hurts her less than 1t hurts
her salty and more intelligent brother.

Men They Wouldn't HANG.

To escape the gallows because ones
neck is not suitable for hanging must
certainly be counted u curious reason.
Yet this has occurred more than once.
Some years ago there took place par
ticularly atrocious murder of a woman
Despite the horrible crime, for which
he deserved no mercy and which, in.
deed. no one expected would be meted
out to him. the criminal was reprieved
II transpired that the mans spinal COL
umn at his neck consisted of nothing
more than mere mass Of gristle. If
he had been placed upon the gallows
bis head would have been torn from
his body.
In another case the murderer was de-
formed. and the surgeon who examined
him was of the opinion that any at
tempt to hang the convict would only
end In failure. A reprieve was granted
by the home Office on these grounds

Pagodas In Burma.

Eight or nine miles below Mandalay,

hood Of the old Burmese town of Sa-

a writer In the Wide World Magazine.

ings to the supreme power, 1t being
generally believed that such acts of
devotion count to the builders credit
In the next world. The pagodas are
Of all kinds, according to the means
Of the builders, from primitive white
washed structures to ornate erections
with grotesque gilded lions. The lions
have various meanings. but stand
chiefly as reminder of unselfsh de-
votion. An ancient Burmese legend,
taught to all Burmese children. is that
of Iioness who nursed and guarded
the baby son of king and who died
Of broken heart when the prince
grew up and went away.

INV INV o0tN
The time table was invented In the
days when the railways had so many
faults that something had to be done
to divert attention Of the public.
The ordinary one road time table IL
confusing enough. but the sort that af-
feet to offer information as to the rum
ming Of trains on connecting lines are
the ones that cause strong men to leap
from the clutch of their keepers and
race choo-chooing hither and yon.
You are going to take No. 8 from
Oopsqush to Ippleding on the o. G.
and N. B. You find that to do this
you leave No. 8 at Gonsofar and con-
meet with No. 80 on the Z. L. and U.
@. for Wibbleville. where you catch No.
II. The man who sells you the ticket
makes this plain to you. But when
you try to unravel the time card you
discover that you are also governed by
Note B and three or four references. At
Wibbleville you learn that No. II, ac-
cording to Note Q. runs only on Thurs
days when 1t is raining and you will
have to wait until 9:22 p. m. and take
No. IS.
The simplest way to use a time table
is to add the figures In any one COL
umn, divide the sum by the amount
of your fare and stay at home.
Ignatius Donnelly cherished theory
that Bacon also wrote the time tables.
