Citrus Fruits Considered Today.

The fight over the proposed reduction
of duties on citrus fruits opened today's
debate on the tariff bill. Despite the
pressing of the bill as rapidly as pos
sible by the democratic leaders. the agri-
cultural schedule. perhaps the vehicle OF
the last vigorous opposition by the mi
nority, had not been finished at last
nights session. The schedules relating
to wines. spirits and beverages, cotton.
wool. silks. paper and sundries were all
in sight early today as likely to be acted
upon before the close of tonights session,
except in the contingency of an unexpect-
ed protracted struggle against free raw
wool.
The California delegation In the House
opposbes the proposed cutting Of the
rates on lemons. lines. oranges and other
citrous fruits, which it claims would be
injurious to their industry and open the
gates to the foreign fruit industry. The
main opposition is to the provision that
lemons in packages exceeding five cubic
feet or in bulk shall be taxed one-half
of l cent a pound. This is a cut of
80 per cent in the present tariff and the
representatives Of the citrus growing dis
tricts have been on guard against letting
it pass without strenuous protest

SALESMANSHIP.

Every young man should some time III
his life have experience in craftsmanship.
Selling goods is the best known cure for
those elements III u man that tend to
make him Il failure.
The art of success consists in making
people change their minds. 1t is this
power that makes the efficient lawyer,
grocer politician o. preacher.
There are two Classes of men; one seeks
employment in a position where he mere
" obeys the rules and carries out the de-
sires of his employer. There is. little or
no opportunity for advancement in this
work You set to a certn point and
there you stick.
Such posts are a clerkship in a bank
a government job, such letter carrier,
a place in the police force or any other
routine employment requiring no initia-
tive. These nds of work are entirely
honorable and necessary. The difficulty
is. they are cramping, limiting.
Some day you may have to take a posi-
ton OF this sort; but first try your hand
at selling things.
Be a book agent. peddle washing ma
chimes, sell life insurance, automobiles,
agricultural implements or peanuts.
You shrink from it because it is hard
it goes against the grain. as you are not
a pushing sort of fellow. And that is the
very reason you need II.
Craftsmanship is strong medicine. You
have to go out and wrestle with a cold
and hostile world. You are confronte ed
with indifference. often contempt. You
are considered a nuisance. That is the
time for you to buck up, take off your
coat and go in and win.
For the youth that proposes even I"

FEEDING HORSES TWICE
DAILY is NOT CRUELTY
Judge Aukam So Decides After
Hearing Expert
Testimony.

Feeding a horse twice day instead OF
three times a day under certain cir
cumstances, such as giving as much at
two feelings as usually at three,
is not cruelty. This the
decision Judge Augum reached late
yesterday afternoon in five cases against
John l.. Newbold, president of the Mer-
chants Transfer and Storage Company,
whom agents OF the Humane Society had
arrested complaining that he did not
feed his horses often enough, and had
violated the law.
The case occupied two days. Neteri-
narians of Washington and nearby cities
were produced by each side. A number
of local contractors and owners Oh WORK
horses also testified.
Attorney John f.. Laskey, VINO repre-
scented Mr. Newbold, and Assistant United
States Attorney Ralph Given agreed on a
statement OF facts in the case ana
let the outcome rest on the testimony OF
the large number OF experts. 1t was
agreed that the horses We're fed the
same amount OF hay and grain as they
would receive under any circumstances.
This was fed TO the horses morning ana
evening instead of three times u DAY.
Fifteen or more experts for the gov
eminent testified that 1t was not proper
to make ~ horse go ali day without suS-
tenance "A large array of experts pro-
duced by the other side swore that II
was really beneficial to feed a WORK
horse in the summer time in tins way,
as he would he overheateh III the mladle
OF the day, after "a mornings neavy Wofh
in the sun, and could not properly as
simulate his food in his condition. IL
would be impfacticable to allow the
horse time to cool off, it was testified
a. this might take several hours.
Feeding the horses in this way was
inausurated only d few weeks ago as
an experiment, TO see whether or not
the horses would be benefited by the
change in the hours of their meals. The
animals seem to be doing finely under
the system. il is reported by those
who have charge of them.
