EXTRA SESSION
or CONGRESS
President-elect Wilson to
Make Early Call for
April, 1913

NFW YORK, Nov. 16-President
elect Wilson on Friday issued the
following statement:
Il shall call Congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April Is. shall do this not only
because think that the pledges Of
the party ought to be redeemed as
promptly as possible, but also be-
cause know it to be in the inter
est OF business that all uncertainty
as to what the particular items OF
tariff revisions are to be should be
removed as soon as possible"
Beyond this brief announcement
the Governor said he had nothing
further to say. Most of the opin-
ions he had received from public
men seemed to be in favor CT an ex-
ira session, he declared.
The Governor did not intend to
express himself about an extra ses-
sion so soon after his election, al
though he has favored the idea OF an
extra session becatse present ar
engagements would not bring the
new Congress into session until
thirteen months after its election.
He had expected to spend more
time in ascertaining public opinion.
With the time to he consumed in
discussion the Governor felt that if
an extra session were not called
the benefit of tariff revision would
be postponed for practically two
years.
Throughout the campaign he
reiterated that he desired an I'M
mediate revision OF the tariff and
that the Democratic leaders knew
perfectly well how to proceed about
it. The Governor was impressed by
the argument also that with an
early announcement as to an extra
session Democratic Leaders in Con-
gress could begin to take counsel at
an early date so that much OF the
prelimaina airy details could be work
ed out before Congress convenes on
April 10.
The Governor was prompted incl
dentally in making his early an
nouncement by the fact that many
members of Congress were desirious
of arranging for accommodations in
Washington for the extra session, if
there as to be one.

Tears and Their Cause.

Tears have no more to do with sor-
row than with any other emotion, and
their persuasive powers should be nil.
Weeping is merely the dregs Of a
used-up emotion OF any character
whatever. Children cry even more
easily than women, because their
nervous system is less stable; men
cry less because theirs is more de-
veloped and in better control.

ture course Thursday evening and on
returning home found her house taken
possession of by the Royal Neighbors.
Two long tables were loaded down
with good things to eat. Several of
the ladies were dressed as little girls
and brought their dollies, it being only
the 18th birthday. Mrs. Waters has
been favored with it coming as it does
on the goth day of February. Mrs.
Baker made a very pleasant and hum

full hand painted berry set to which
Mrs. Waters made a hearty, apprecia-

filled the remainder of the pleasant

CANALS IN HOLLAND.

Simple Scheme That Keeps Children
From Falling Into Them.
The Dutch peasant lives with canals
all about him and reaches his cottage
by way of a drawbridge. Perhaps it
is in the blood Of the Dutch child. says
writer in London NJ. A. P, not to fall
into a canal. At all events the Dutch
mother never appears to anticipate
such possibility.
One can imagine the average Eng
lish or American mother trying to
bring up family in house surround
ed by canals. She would never have
a moments peace until the children
were in bed But then the mere sight
Of canal to the English child sug-
gests the delights of a sudden and un-
expected bath.
An Englishman inquired Of Dutch
woman, "Does Dutch child ever by
any chance fall into canal?"
EYES," she replied, ceases have been

Don't you do anything for it?" con-
tinued the Auestioner.
ooh, yes" she answered. Eve haul

"But what mean It," explained the
Englishman, don't you do anything
to prevent their falling into save
them from falling in again.

OLD FRENCH COACHES.
The One In Which Henry Of Navarro
Was Aseassinated.

The One In Which Henry Of Navarro
Was Assassinated.
As regards the history Of coaches in
France. Henry Nv. was assassinated in
1910 Soon after his death some en-
cravings were published representing
him being murdered In his carriage by
Ravaillac. 1t is from these that We
get a fair idea Of the coaches.
They are simply square boxes, meas
uring by scale six feet in length by
three and a half feet in width, on four
wheels Of the same diameter, without
any spring or straps and seating six
persons In all-namely,. two with their
backs to the horses, two facing them
and two more, one on each side of the
two boots" at the side. Each vehicle
had roof resting on light columns and
curtains to draw or to let down.
This agrees well with the received
accounts Of the incident. according to
one version Of which Henry rode in an
open carriage, and according to anoth'
er that as soon AZ the fatal blow waa
delivered by the assassin the kings at
tendant who rode with him in the car.

king from public view. assured the en-

The Triple Plume.

The three feathers OF the Prince of
Wales, with the German motto, "lch

the arms Of the blind king of Bohe-

fuses to accept. TIE triple plume. in
deed, as well as feathers Of various
numbers, came into general use about
the time of Edward Ill. But 1t was
not unknown before that time. and
even at that time 1t was not the dis
tinctive cognizance Of the Prince Of
Wales. Other members Of the royal
family bore 1t as we'll AZ he. Not till

A MADE OVER STATUE.
Designed to Pose ~ King, II Now
Represents a Saint.

Designed to Pose ~ . King, II Now
Repressnts a Saint.
The most made over statue in the
world Is in quaint little church at
Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. 1t was orig
inally designed for that Of Louis XIV.
Of France and was the work Of a Ro-
man sculptor who started for France
with the statue, but was captured on
the way by an English warship.
France and England were then at war,
and the box containing the statue was
taken on board the English vessel with
other spells.
When Sir Richard Holmes, the Eng
lish commander, examined 1t and found
the head was unfinished he ordered the
sculptor to complete it in his own
likeness, and so the heroic figure that
was intended to represent a French
monarch was turned into an officer of
the English navy.
When Sir Richard was made COVER
nor Of the Isle Of Wight in 1867 he
presented the statue Of himself to the
Yarmouth church. Half a century
after his death a statue of st. John
was desired for certain niche in the
church, and an English sculptor was
called In to chisel out the face and
naval hat Of Sir Richard and make
them over into the benign features and
flowing locks Of the saint.
The incongruity of court clothes and
a jeweled chain on the figure Of one
of the apostles did not seem to strike
the worshipers as anything unusual.
and ST. John still occupies his place by
the altar attired in the finery Of a
French king.-New York Press.
