should be repealed before
the new tariff bill is passed.
Nine months ago Congress en-
acted that foreign built vessels

FOREIGN BUILT VESSELS
WOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO RE-
CEIVE SUBSIDIES under our

What Free Traders Said.
For 50 years free traders have
claimed that the free admission
Of foreign built ships to Ameri-

PLAGUE OF INDIAN MONKEYS

A plague of monkeys some years
ago sorely troubled the officials at a
small station on the Saran railway.
in Northwest India Trucks full of
grain for export were often stored
up in the station, and the monkeys
came down in large number from a
neighboring grove to help themselves
to the grain. picking holes in the tar
paulin roof of the wagons.
The officials were wearied out with
keeping watch and soaring away the
thieves, who daily grew holder. till an
ingenious guard hit upon a strategem.
For several days sweets and fruits
were put on the roofs of the wagons,
with the result that the whole of the
monkey colony were attracted to the
spot. and soon became perfectly tn
different to man.
One morning. when they were all
busily feeding an engine was stealth
lily attached to the wagons, and sud-
denly the train moved of. The mon
keys were quite scared, and made no
attempt to escape, sitting crouched
together. till the train had gone sew
eral miles and stopped at a Jungle.
Then they wanted no hint to leave.
Every monkey leaped down bowling
and fed into the jungle, whence they
never returned to trouble the railway.
