Eddie Collins as Seen by Cesare.

IN 1910 he came to bat with Cupid
in the box and made the home run OF
his life, and now the two have home
Of their own in Clifton Heights, sub
urb of Philadelphia, with pianola in
the parlor and honest-to-goodnes
chickens in the back yard. He never
grows tired Of talking about his plan.
ola and his chickens, and to him the
sweetest music in the world is duet
between pianola and a pullet, with
his wife putting the silverware on ir
the dining room.
He can sit back in his bay window
with his feet on the window sill and
by the cackle tell which one of his
hens has laid an egg and which one
is up.
He never smokes and never got a
larruping in his life for sneaking out
behind the millet stack with the rest
Of the gang and smoking a grapevine
until it turned him so far inside out
that he had to hold his epiglOttis in
| with his thumb. He thinks that the
man who uses the vile weed is going
to that region where war is one con-
tinuous program from II a. N. till IL
p. NJ, children in arms not admitted;
but he himself is wild about chocolate
ice cream, believing that the other
place in the skies is magnifcently
fitted up drug store where the seats
at the soda fountain are upholstered,
and where a chorus Of angels play
golden harps while pages in short
trousers flap up on their golden wings
bearing straws with corl- tips, urging
you in silvery tones to have another.
The ambition of his life is to write
a booh-a real book with his name on
the cover-and he says the one SUI
preme blissful moment of his exist
ence would be to lay his book on the
| center table, turn on the pianola, and
then have one of his Plymouth Rocks
walk up on the porch and crow while
his own private ticker inside ratified
off the baseball score.

The room, in charge of another sis
ter, was like a quaint little primer
class; the youngest sat in one corner
and the first readers stood in a
straight line before the sister, their
books held carefully before their
noses. AS Sister Rose spoke to them,
they rose politely. and dropped
funny little courtesy.
AS in the high school, the utmost
order prevailed. 1t IS a pleasure to
visit the quiet halls The school is up
to that high standard that Catholic
schools over the country have set and
maintained for many years.
Father Hayden, who is the mana
ger of the scholastic department had
been contemplating the erection of
the Assumption high school for sever
al years
The idea" said he took concrete
form last year when the high school
was built; it was begun in the fall
and finished in the spring at a cost of
about $1,000. It is model in every
way and is suited to teach a full high
school course in all particulars Dur
ing the erection of the building the
first year was being taught in va
cant room in the parochial school.

CHAPMAN'S SPEECH.
Democrat Candidate for Congress Ad-
dressed Wilson Club.

The Democratic F'lambeau club rooms
were we'll filled last night to hear J.
B. Chapman, Democratic candidate for
congress from the First district, in an
address under the auspices of the To-
peka woodrow Wilson club. Mr.. Chap
man dwelt for the most part on the
tariff, charging that the high protec-
tive tariffs are responsible for the pres
ent high cost of living, and declaring
he will work for a reduction on various
articles, and for placing certain COM
modities on the free list, if he is elect
ed.
There are two things in particular
am bound to work for if I am sent
to congress- Mr.. Chapman said. "One
is to abolish the secret committee
meeting and the other is to break the
power of the secret caucus in which
originate many of the agreements for
high tariff and lavish expenditures
Progressive Republicans, Mr.. Chap
man said, have worked with the Demo-
Gratis in attempted reductions in the
tariff particularly the wool bill which
was vetoed. The speaker declared the
tariff costs each family in the United
States every year the sum of $94 land
he proposed to reduce the high cost
of living by placing many of the neces-
sites of life on the free list
Judge S. H. Allen acted as chairman
of the meeting, introducing the speaker
held in the F-lambeau club rooms in
stead of Notes park, as was first ad-
vertised, on account of the weather.

SUIT AGAINST PACIFIC Elk. co.
John Dawson Would Make Co. Pay
Excise Tax of 1896.

Suit against the Pacific Express
company for a penalty alleged to be
due on account of the failure of the
company to pay it's taxes last Decem-
Der, was brought by John S. Dawson,
attorney general, for the state in the
Shawnee county district court late
yesterday afternoon. The penalty ask
ed for amounts to S696.21. The case
has been set for hearing before Judge
A. W. Dana next Monday.
An excise tax of four per cent was
due on receipts for the year ending
May 1, 1911, which was due in De-
cember, the petition alleges. The tag,
amounting to $3,4S1.O4 was not paid
until January 10. Provision is made
for a penalty of 20 per cent to apply
to those who pay up late, and this is
what Dawson is asking for.
