Whore the Strain Was.

Among the ancestors of Wendell
Phillips were several Puritan clergy
men. Perhaps it was push Of he
redity which made him. at FIVE years
of age, a preacher. His congregation
was composed of circles of chairs, ar
ranged in his fathers parlor, while
a taller chair, with Bible ON it, served
him for a pulpit. He would harangue
these wooden auditors by the hour.

Geography of Blushins.

dogs blush" said hunter. "Look
at Carlo. I'll brighten him, and you'll
see him blush plainly. Dogs blush In
the tail"
He pretended that he was going to
whip his hunting dog, and the animal
showed the whites Of its eyes In fright,
while the skin Of its white tail was,
sure enough. suffused with blood. The
tail blushed wildly.
Horses" continued the huntsman,
plush in the ears, especially in the
left ear. Cows and sheep blush just
above the fetlock. Watch that spot on
a COW. When she bushes there it's
sign she's nervous. Move the milk
pail then, for she is likely to kick 1t
over.

Up AGAINST the Judge.

He was a Scottish advocate, and in
his pleading he had several times pro-
nounced the word "enow" for
enough"
"Mr. -" the Judge remarked at
length, 'In England We sound the
'ough' as 'ufr-'enuff,' not 'enow.'"
"Verra weel, ma lord" continued the
self possessed pleader, ''of this we
have said enuff, and I come, ma lord,
to the subdivision Of the land in dis
pute. 1t was apportioned, ma lord,
into what in England would be called
pluff1and--a pluffland being as much
land as a Pullman can pluff In one
day, and pluffmen"-
But his lordship could not Withstand
the ready repartee and burst into
laugh, saying:
"Pray proceed, Mr.. -. We know
'enow' of the Scottish language to un-
derstand your arguments" - London

TAFT URGES
BANKING REFORM
Declares Il Is Most Crying
Need Of the Country"
DROPS TARIFF REVISION
President In Second Message Turns
Over vexed Question to Wilson and
New Congress.

Washington, Dec. I'm a message
full of optimism. President Taft urged
upon congress an advanced program
Of legislation on the fiscal, judicial,
military and insular affairs of the ma
ton.
Pleading for the immediate passage
Of currency reform measure, along
the lines of the Aldrich plan, the presi-
dent declared for a bigger navy; a
further reorganization of the army to
provide for a greater reserve during
times Of peace; continued supervision
over Porto Rico and the Philippines;
federal regulation of water powers In
navigable streams, and the promulga-
ton of q workingmen's compensation
act.
The president highly praised Colonel
Cocktails, chief engineer of the Pan
anna canal, and recommended that, in
recognition of his wonderful work,
Colonel Goethals be made a major
general of the army, with the title Of
chief of engineers when the present
incumbent is retired
The tariff the president dismissed
with q few paragraphs. 1t was my be-
Lief that the customs iuties ought to
be revised downward" he said, "but
now that a new congress has been
elected on a platform of tariff for
revenue only, rather than a protective
tariff, it is needless for me to occupy
the time of congress with arguments
or recommendations in favor of a pro-
tective tariff"
The $22.OOO.0OO deficit which appears
between the treasurer's report of esti-
maed income for the coming year and
the estimated expenditures, the presi-
dent said was due to congress failure
to appropriate for two battleships last
year, necessitating an estimate for
three this year.
The presidents plea for a revised
banking and currency system was es-
pecially emphatic. Declaring it to be
the most crying need of the country
today" he recommended the imme
date adoption of an elastic currency
system along the lines Of the central
bank idea proposed by the Aldrich
currency bill. Discussing the prejudice
which greeted the central bank idea,
the president argued that it arose
from an erroneous idea of its powers
and q distrust of bankers by the peo-
pie.
The other recommendations in his
message were:
Amendment Of the law to lessen the
penalty when corporations inadvert-
emily disobey the corporation tax law.
Congressional approval of the plan
Of army reorganization prepared by
the war college last spring.
The passage of the militia pay bill
Increasing compensation to the organ
ICED militia, in the field.
Citizenship, without statehood, for
Porto Rico.
Regulation Of water power grants so
that navigable streams might be i'm.
proved by water power companies.
He disapproved the following:
Autonomy and independence In
eight years for the Philippines.
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law,

Etiquette on British warships.

Etiquette plays an important part on
a modern battleship, and the British
navy enforces many little forms and
customs.
In the wardroom, where the officers
and midshipmen dine, the commander
does not sit at the head Of the table.
That place Is reserved for the president
of the mess. The commander invau-
ably sits at his right hand, while the
former changes every month.
Evening dress Is a steadfast rule, 30
much so that the man who has to take
a watch after dinner and who has no
time to change sits at table by him
SELF The toast of 1.-THE King" in the
navy is drunk sitting. Tradition has It
that a certain king once proposed q
toast and, jumping up. hit his head
against a beam above. Orders were
given, the story goes. that all toasts
were in future to be drunk sitting.
The MILDLY" on warship is just
like a flag at public school, with the
officers as his projects or monitors.
Midshipmen have to make themselves
generally useful to the latter.-London
