CHAPTER XIII.

You're looking mighty nice
this morning, Madge," said Dick
as he turned to me in the car. 'I
bet you're glad to get home"
or course, l am, and I'll be
still gladder when we get settled
all by ourselves somewhere. Let's
get off here and walk down." I
said as the car stopped. 81 want
to see the boulevard"
Do you know, Margie, that you
are the most enthusiastic youth I
know? / wonder IL you will ever
get experienced and blase."
Il don't intend to, Dick, if / can
help it. It is only when one loses
ones enthusiasm and illusions
that one becomes DID,"
AS we stepped along we ran
right into Kitty Malram and you
may be sure, dear diary, was
glad l had on my new dull blue
duvetine gown.
OF course, I know it's awfuIly
silly to care whether Kitty NAL
ram THINKS AM STINGY OR
NOT and ought to be big enough
not to mind, but. after hearing
what she said at my wedding |
was glad to let her see that 1t was
not because l did not have a new
frock that I wore my old one on
our wedding trip.
You're looking WE'LL" said
Kitty.

expected her to look ILL.," said
Dick, petulantly.
Where are you stopping? At
Dicks house?" asked Kitty.
Eyes, but I am looking for a
place to live this morning."
We'll, let me know, dear, as
soon as you are settled, for want
to be among the first come to see

saw her give my gown a
careful scrutinizing look as she
left.
Are you awfulIy fond of that
girl Margie?" asked Dick.
We'll, I don't know Just how
fond ] am of her." I answered. 81
have known her ever since we
were children. She Is, like N.Y.
self, an orphan, but / think she
had more money left her than T.
at least she does nothing and al
ways seems to be having a good
time. have found her NOT
VERY SYMPATHETIC, BUT
RATHER GOOD FUN"
"Humph," was Dicks only COM
ment, SO | know he doesn't like
her.
do hope Dick is not going to
allow himself to be prejudiced
against my friends and acquaint-
ances. I am going to try and like
all of his.
When Dick left me thought |
would first go into the best ho-
tel where found the clerks very
courteous. They showed me q
dainty. little suite, two rooms and
a bath. for which they wanted six
dollars day. I did not tell them
that was just four dollars a day
more than ! could afford to pay.

A.-There are very few facts
that do not have two sides, SO it
is never safe to bet heavy on
either side. The freezing water
subject is not exempt. Some rum
ming water freezes from the top;
other running streams from the
sides and bottom. 1t depends on
the turbulence of the water, and
the Temperature of the atmos-

TARIFF BILL IS
ELIMINATED
President and Chairman
Simmons Accede to Pro-
tests From Eight Foreign
Nations.

Washington, d. c., May 29.-Sena-
ator Simmons chairman Of the finance
committee. dehnitely announced after
q conference with President Wilson,
today that the proposed Ave per cent
differential on imports In American
owned or controlled vessels would be
dropped from the tarifY bill in the sen
ate on account OF protests from foreign
nations.
Senator Simmons also declared that
objections to foreign nations to the
clause to compel foreign merchants to
submit their books to an American
agent In cases Of disputed valuation
would be met. In both cases the state
department holds that protests are
justified. The president upheld that
view.
Chairman Simmons also took up
with the president questions of equali.
zation OF duties on raw materials and
manufactured products, among them
wheat, flour. and pig iron. Mr.. Sim.
mons declined to discuss the presi.
dents views on those points. saying no
decision had been reached, but that he
had sought Mr.. Wilson's ideas and
would transmit them to members Of
the finance committee.
Chairman Underwood OF the house
ways and means committee, when
asked about the probable action of the
house should the tariff bill come back
with an amendment to eliminate the
five per cent clause, said that person
ally he favored the retention of the
provision as one OF the ways of build
ing up a merchant marine.
Il believe in discrimination in favor
of American Marine" he said. For
eign nations discriminate In favor Of
their own ships. and I do not see why
we should not" II 4: 81 4
Mr.. Underwood did not Indicate,
however, whether there would be an
effort to retain the provision II the
amendment raised strong objection.
Senators on the subcommittee Of the
finance committee working on the cot
ton schedule Of the Underwood bill are
said to be ready to recommend some
increases In the house rates. More
than hundred witnesses from the
northern and southern sections are re-
ported to have favorably impressed the
senators with their arguments that
some Of the cuts were too great.
The committee also lis expected to
recommend some change in the
chemical schedule, among them to be
free listing Of certain dyes used In
the manufacture of cotton which the
house bill has included In the dutiable
list. s ,s... ii.
Senator Stones subcommittee still
is working over the wool and metal
schedules. Few changes are looked for

tions are known to have been decided
upon In the steel schedule. Structural

FIFTH WOMAN IN
POISON MYSTERY
cHlcAGoAN WHO DIED UNDER
sUselciovs CIRCUMSTANCES
LEAVES MANY TO MOURN.

Chicago. May 2s.-A fifth woman
appeared last night In the strange
case OF the late Homer Edward Nor
rison, man OF many widows. She is
Miss Eleanor Ostrander, who asserts
she was to have married Morrison
yesterday as w. e. Morrison.
Morrison. who died just week ago,
and whose physician has demanded an
autopsy on thel ground that he was
poisoned, left three widows and two
fiancees, and the police believe there
are other women who are mourning
him as husband or betrothed.
Miss Ostrander told detectives she
met Morrison six years ago and dur
ing that time he. took her to many
places OF amusement and gave her
several substantial presents.
Before Morrison began counting Miss
Ostrander he had two wives. Two
years after he began to pay her atten-
tions he married again. He also found
time to pay his respects to another
woman, widow. who says she was to
have married him next month. She
gave Morrison $1,000.
Miss Ostrander is the only. woman
of the five who does not claim to have
given Morrison considerable sums.

Washington, d, c., May 29.-seldom
have the wise ones" been given such
a shock as they received on Monday
when no less a person than Prtsident
Wilson himself threw down the gaunt.
.let to the obbyistss who arc gathered
here fighting the tariff bill.
AS indicated recently In this column.
Washington, has never seen such q
lobby as has been carried on against
the wool and sugar provisions Of the
new tariff bill. Thousands and thou
sands Of dollars have been spent to de-
feat the sugar provision alone. Former
senators and representatives In con-
gress have been openly lobbying
againsttit on the floor of the senate
and the floor Of the house. Among
them are men who gained much promi-
nence while here as public servants.
Two in particular are ex-senator NJ. J.
Foster OF Louisiana, representing the
sugar growers OF his state, and ex-Rep-
resentative w p. Hepburn, represent
Ing the Hawaii sugar people.
But the opponents OF the tariff bill
have not stopped with hiring public
men to serve them. They have bought
large spaces In the papers and for
many days they have been carrying on
school OF instruction on the tariff
a school favorable to their own pet
schemes.
In driving them into the open, Presi-
dent Wilson has indicated that he

peoples interests as president, as he
