The gander is very energetic and
courageous in defending his mate on

before the train arrived and sat
down on a bank to wait.
When he got into a compartment
| he found his coat and waistcoat full
of ants, so he took them off and
shook them. Shortly afterwards he
felt the ants inside his trousers, Sc
he took them off and was shaking
them out of the window when pass

| hand.
This was very awkward. He was
| going to cabinet council, and he
had on a frockcoat but no trousers
At the next stopping place he called
to a porter: IT have had the mis-
fortune to throw my trousers out Of
the window"
THAT won't do said the porter
and he shouted to the guard: Here
a bloke in the first-class without any
bags on"
The guard came up and. seeing how
things were, telegraphed to King
Cross: There is a cabinet minister
in the train who has thrown his trou
sers out of the window. Get another
pair for him"
When Sydney Buxton got to Lon
don he was provided with pair o.
green trousers such as porters wear
and in them he went to the cabine

An ExpIoded Fiction.


From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The new tariff law must be time
tried and fire-tested before the colln-
try or even those who voted for It's
massage. or the smaller number VINO
drew the bill, will know just what Its
value is. But there can be no dis
mute about the Democratic party
having kept faith and redeemed

The manner in which the work was
done should be matter OF. pride not
| only to every Democrat, but also 10
every good citizen of the United
States. Dignity, sincerity and unity
of purpose and action distinguished
the Democrats in their effort to solve
the leading American problem. Whlie
there is reason to give the highest
| credit to Oscar Underwood and to
President Wilson, both of them tire
| less workers, able tacticians, sincere
citizens laboring for the common
good. it must be borne in mind that
the Congress which passed the bill
disappointed the hopes of the Repup-
lican partisans who confidently pre-
dicted wild horses" as the obstable
to any plans that the leaders might
make. The fiction that the Demo

made up of men seeking office and
seeking to make capital of discon-
tent is forever dissipated by the spec
tacle of the manner in which the law
has been made Mr. Underwood is of
the opinion that the new-made law
will prove a less burdensome revenue
producer than any tariff act save the
Walker bill of the last three-quarters
of a century. At any rate, it can be
said confidently that not in a century
has the country witnessed a session
of Congress during which there was
manifested greater sincerity and
greater ability to deal with public
questions in a business-like manner.

he underwent an operation from
which he never recovered, Charles e.
Eastman wrote letter to his fiancee,

one-fourth of Eastmans estate, the
total of which amounts to 100000.
Eastman left no will and after his
