New Farm Loan PIan.-Dudly Doo-
little, representative In congress from
the Fourth district Of Kansas, has a
measure which he expects to Introduce
at the special session Of congress
which provides new plan Of cheap
loans for farmers.
Mr.. Doolittle gave q short outline
Of his plan. 1t Is virtually the crea-
ton of a farm loan department, which
will be enabled to make loans to
| farmers at a very low rate OF interest,
probably about 4 per cent. The loans
Mr.. Doolittle would have run for
Ilong periods with optional payments.
In order to provide this money, he
would have the government issue
bonds to bear about one-half Of l per
cent less than the mortgage loan In
terest rate. The money derived from
the sale of these bonds would then be
lent to farmers. The loan would be
negotiated through banks and other
designated agencies, and the agents
compensation would be the differences
between the interest rate on the
bonds and the rate charged the bor-
ROVER
The plan, Mr.. Doolittle believes,
would be sure to work a great saving
for the farmer; the banker or other
loan agents would receive his COM
pensation for handling the loans, and
the government also would come in for
compensation. for the reason that
government bonds always sell at a
premium.
Mr.. Doolittle expects opposition
from loan companies, and says he
would be glad to have the views of
persons interested. either for or
against his plan. His address Is
| Washington, D. C.-Kansas City Star.

DOCTOR JoHnsoN's REsuFF
No Religious Dispute for Him With
Woman.


It is a solemn thought to consider
how much Of the terrible warfare in
duced by the intellectual quibbings Of
theo!ogians and philosophers might
have been avoided II only men had got
together on the essentials and realized
that they differed in the main on
terms and the definitions thereof.
writes Richard Burton In the Bellman.
Many deaths have come Of defini-
tions; the torture rack and the faggot
flame are its children.
what Is your religion, Doctor
Johnson?" asked an inquisitive wo-
man of the mighty photographer. god
of the 18th century coffee house.
''The religion of all sensible men.
madam" was the ambiguous reply.
But what religion is that?" persist
ed the lady.
THAT, madam, is what all sensible
men keep to themselves" said the
doctor. which was his way Of suggest
ing that she mind her own business.
If we had all minded our business,
historically, In this great matter, what
deal Of misery had been spared the
children of men! And incidentally.
how much nearer the millennium
should we be! "One person have to
make better. myself" quoth Steven
son. MY duty to others may be de-
scribed by saying that must try to
make my neighbor happy"
When all is said and done, man has
an odd way Of appearing equal to
himself down through the ages. He
has grown, expanded, improved with
the centuries, granted. But In his
deepest emotions and instincts there
is a family resemblance between the
cave man and Meredith's Sir Willough-
by, the egoist. He needs something u
worship still, as he needed It then
and he finds 1t in Nature without or
within himself, at his best.

A Plant That coughs.-All have
read of carnivorous plants, Of laugh
ing plants, and Of plants that weep;
but who has heard Of plant that
coughs? There Is the authority Of a
French botanist, however, for the
statement that q plant In various
tropical regions actually possesses the
power to cough in the most approved
manner. The fruit Of this plant re-
sembles the common broad bean.
1t appears that the coughing plant
Is something Of crank. that 1t easily
works itself into a rage, and that II
has q curious horror Of all dust. AS
soon as a few grains Of dust are de-
posted on its leaves the air chambers
that cover their faces and are the res
piratory organs Of the plant become
filled with gas, swell and end by driv.
ing out the gas with slight explosion
and a sound that resembles so much
the cough Of child suffering from a
cold as to carry most uncanny sem
sation to the one beholding the phe-
nomenon.-Paris Matin.

THE COURTING OF
TNOWHEAD'S BELL
By JAMES M. BARRIE.

This story is in Mr.. Barrie's early
vein Of humor, and he first won MS
reputation with these brilliant sketch
es of daily life among the shrewd'
droll working folk in Thrums, type
of the small Scottish village. The
"Auld LIGHT Kirk" was an institution
OF great Importance in that quaint
community; compared with its rigors
the tenets of the U. p. congregation
were full Of weak concessions to a sin
full world. The inconceivable delibera-
tion OF these canny folk Is in itself a
source of absurd situations.

as federal prisoners may be concern

prison at Atlanta, it Is believed none
has been fled as to the Moundsvifle
PRISON. The policy OF the depart

matters over, any way, and not wait
for charges. 1t may be some time
before the Investigation Is started,
.ias the inspection of the Atlanta in
stitntiom will come ahead of that at

SUTHERLAND GETS
AN ORDER MODIFIED
Relating to the Residences Of
Federal Railway Pos
tai Clerks. i
tsrtelaL ID rNE rElEaaAnl

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 31--
Congressman Howard Sutherland Is
given the credit here for having a
regulation of the postoffice depart
ment in regard to railway mail
clerks reversed, so far as It relates
TO those already in the employ or
the government.
Some time ago 1t became apparent
to officials of the department thar
some or the railway mail clerks
their work interfered with because
OF the fact that they did not
reside on the lines Of railroad on
which they We're employed. POST
master General Burleson issued a
genial order requiring all railway
mail clerks to reside on the roads on
which they run. Edward Bond, or
Horton, W. Va, brother ofe John
9. Bond, OF Charleston, has been
running between Baltimore and Eli
kins on the Western Maryland rail-
road, but has a home and residence
at Horton, on the Dry Fork railroad,
a few miles away from the line OF
the Western Maryland. The order
meant the giving UP OF his home,
which he owns, and would have serl-
ously inconYenienced him.
Congressman Sutherland took the
matter up with the department,
which had it referred to a confer
ence OF railway mail superintendents
and as result OF their considera-
tion, the department has modified its
former order so as to apply only to
persons entering the service hereay-
ter. and Mr.. Bond may continue to
reside in his owns home although it
is not directly on the railroad on
which he runs.
