in which the appropriation of $685.
600 for the tariff board is at issue,
is approaching settlement in the COM
mittee. Out of 259 items in the
$116, 100000 bill upon which the two
houses disagreed, all but about fifty
have been settled, and agreement on
these are expected early this week.
The house yesterday asked the senate
to compromise the naval fight on a
one battleship basis and an agree
ment on the naval bill is expected i'm
mediately.
The other measures will not take
much time. The senate will take UP
the six year presidential term resolu-
ton, the reform bill of lading meas
ure and the bureau of labor bill this
week. All legislation aside from the
appropriation bills is likely to be laid
aside, however, as it is the desire to
complete the session by Thursday or
at least by the end of the week.
Over the white house cups, Presi-
dent Taft and the cabinet yesterday
discussed the Panama canal bill and
the question of a possible presiden-
tial veto of the measure. Every men,
Der of the presidents official family
who was in town, was present, and
the discussion lasted an hour after
luncheon time, but no decision was
reached.

farmers told the Commercial club d.
rectors that this could be remedied
by cutting down the hills and by fill
ing in or by making a new road

The entire matter is to be laid be-
fore the council tonight and the di-

May Have Court Pass On It.

When the conference was over the
president was still of the opinion that
the best way to test the bills agree
ment with the treaty was to have the
United States supreme court pass up
on it. He will confer with the senate
and the house leaders in the next few
days and will devote most of his time
to bordering over the one bill. Most
of the Republican leaders in both
houses and probably some of the lead
ing Democrats will be called into con-
sultation and the bill will be gone
over with care.
Probably Too Late to Amend.
The president was told today that
it is probably too late to amend the
bill and that the action he may take
must be in the form of veto unless
he can get the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders to agree upon a general
resolution that would show the Unit
ed States had no intention in passing
this measure of abrogating the exist
ing treaty with Great Britain. Such
a resolution would permit foreign
steamship companies to test in the
United States court, the validity I'M
der the treaty.

Inclined to Approve Bill,

The presidents inclination, it was
said tonight, was to approve the bill
but he is anxious to have a provision
made for legal test of the matter of
free tolls for American ships. The
cabinet was understood to agree with
him that there is basis for believing
the bill with the free toll clause in it
is not in conformity with the Hay
Paunceforte treaty.

BLIND POINTS IN MEMORY.

answer from the witness box when
the sudden question is put. And it
is often a question such as any man
might be expected to answer offhand.
1t would be a very intelligent jury
that would understand the man who
could not remember where he
lunched every day. But there is
probably not a juryman on the lists
who could not tell a story of his own

OLDEST UNIVERSITIES.

The Oldest universities on the con-
tinent Of Europe are those of b.
logna, Paris and Salamanca. In Eng
land Oxford and Cambridge are the
most ancient, Many of the earlier
universities were the outgrowth Of
the intellectual movement known as
"Scholacticism." Great scholastics
like Abelard and others would draw
about them crowds of young men to
listen to their lectures, and the lee
lures were followed by the perma-
nent institution known as the uni
versity. In such way Abelard be-
came the practical founder of the
University of Paris.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE JUDGE
Therefore the Buyer Of Antiques OBJ

Half Price.

Eben Googins keeps a small, lit
tered shop on Main street. His mod
est sign reads, "Second Hand Fur

derStanding of the psychology of the
antiquary is worthy of a wider field,
"What is the price of this? asked
a customer, braced for the conven-
tional war of words with pawnbrok-
ers and antique dealers, whom she
had grown expert in beating down.
But her challenge did not draw the
conventional retort from Eben. He
fingered the wrought-iron fender she
had unearthed from between a mas
sive and valueless yeneered high-boy
and a broken spinning-wheel, and
said, with a covert and calculating
eye upon her:
Did you ever know Judge Allen
of Foxcroft?"
Judge Allen, the great man Of a
little town, who had inherited a
widely famed collection Of antique
furniture, and had enlarged it gen
erously, was known to the bargain
hunter by reputation only.
"You were not acquainted with
the judge? Then the price Of the
fender is 3d."
"But why?7 asked the bargain
hunter, wondering whether she was
being favored with an example of
Yankee humor or Yankee shrewd-
ness, and bewildered by this abrupt
method Of closing a trade.
