1t will be far in the autumn
months before congress will pass
the new tariff bill. Its features
will be so familiar to the bust
ness world when it does become
a law that business will not
know the difference. Outside
of wool and sugar, the changes
are not much greater than the
Payne act was over the McKin-
ley bill. We do not see but
slight reductions on anything in
practical life. There is not a
consumer who will ever note a
reduction in the price he will
pay for any commodity.

Another Kicker Knocked

Jim Bolin Of the 18th District was
charged before Esq. W. 7. Carothers
with refusal to dip his cattle and was
tried last Friday and found guilty,
but afterwards pleaded guilty and was
fined SIS and agreed to hereafter com.
ply with the law. 1t is strange that
anyone can be SO stubborn and foolish
as to defy the tick law and regula-
tions, now that it is 80 well known
and SO certain to be enforced. A
few more dippings by the entire peo'
pie will finish the job.

GUS voice that added immensely te
their effect. He felt a kinship with
the great, and had the germ OF
genius in him. Few men were ever
so gifted with the art Of mimicry
Not only the tone, but the gestures
and the very nature of those whom
he wished to initiate were hit off ir
the most effective style. As an
orator or actor he would have made
fame and fortune. But the almost
untaught native of the Hardin county
rural section, practically raised in a
lanyard by an honest but unyielding
old tanner who thought that trade
good enough for anybody did not know
his gifts, nor did others know them,
in time to polish them by sufficient
education.
But what is the difference, after
all! He went to his grave with an
unspotted name, prepared to enter
that doom of darkness which sooner
or later will cover the brightest
name now emblazoned upon the
armament of earthly renown. He
owed no man anything, deceived no
one, believed in his Maker and Saw
Tor, worshipped his wife above every
thing mortal, and his last wish was
to rest by her side in his native
Tennessee when, like her, he should
be called to his final home. He had
an intense love for his Tennessee
as well as for his adopted home in
Florida. A valiant and efficient de-
fender of the Union, when to de-
fend it meant to risk his life and all
he had, his heart softened in later
years toward those who had fought
against him, and of all his friends,
none were more highly priced than
that great exponent of the Confed-
eracy, Gen. Marcus ]. Wright.
Long after his mortal frame shall
have met the fate of all flesh, and
returned to the dust Of which it
was made, many will remember
Epaminondas Perkins, his flashing
wit, and his wonderfully stored mind.
His old pupils, of whom the efficient
and popular postmaster of Selmer,
Grant Alexander, is worthy exam
pie, will never forget his wonderful
methods as schoolmaster. His chill
dren cannot forget his example of
trying to make something of US all in
spite of adverse circumstances. His
motto, which he said came to him
from his highly gifted mother, was:
set your mark high, and you will
60 above it; aim low, and you will
fall below it, He aimed high, and
succeeded better than most of his
fellows. Many an inferior mind, with
better training. has won more fame,
but he went to his eternal rest with
. good name, which is our best herit.

The odor of fresh paint indoors will
last for many days and even weeks.
especially II the weather is not favo y
able for drying it, Rooms should he
heated to assist the drying process,
and buckets of water should be place,
in all rooms to absorb poisonous
cases. as water quickly absorbs all
impurities of the air.
Rooms that retain the paint odor
can be freshened If sugar is burned
in them. 1t is preferable to disinfect-
ants, especially when the latter is
really not essential. 1t has long since
been learned that sugar smoke is

recommended for use also in house

United States. She caught on to
American mannerisms. and speaks
English in perfect accent.
At the outbreak OF the Russo-Jap-
anese war she was sent to Japan. She
travelled with a conducted party OF
tourists, and when her destination
was reached she decided to lengthen
her stay in Japan. She adopted Jap
anese customs and costumes. So at
tractive and charming was she that
the Japanese took her straight to
their hearts, little dreaming that she
was a Russian and a spy.
She mingled with the families OF
Japanese officials. She learned their
tongue so rapidly that within few
months she spoke volubly, and under
stood almost any conversation. A Jap
anese statesman fell victim to her
charms, and she led him to believe
that she might marry him, but she
put him off from time to time, and in
the interim the Russian government
was receiving some very important In
formation. Nine. Korolerviez re-
manned in Japan throughout the war,

day that she was other than pretty
American woman. The Japanese lover
was thrown out like an old glove
when 1t was time for her to be sent to
another land.

woman we'll known in London society
She has entree to exclusive houses,
but none of her hostesses suspects
that she is entertaining one OF the
most accomplished spies of Russia.
She is elegant and cultured in her
manner, but she has lived in squalid
settlements in various places, and
once travelled on a very dangerous
mission to Mukden in mans attire She
has gone hungry and cold and has
been thrown among the toughest and
most uncouth people. King Edward
knew her well, and was often seen
chatting with her, but he did not know
that she was in the secret service Of
the Russian government.
