Kansas huntsmen have put a problem
up to the Federal government. The
time allotted to that State for showing
ducks is dry month, so that the ducks
shrewdly pass up the SunAower State
until the law again extends its pro-
tectorate over them.
Representative Victor Murdock, oi
Kansas, expresses the belief that there
isn't a duck in Kansas today. In
ferentially he claims that Kansas hunts
men have as much sense as ducks:
1--WE would present a iudicrous spec
tacle sitting around waiting for ducks
when every duck knows welhave prac-
tical1y no water in our streams during
our supposed open season.
There is about 100000 invested in
guns, decoy ducks, blinds and ammuni-
ton in Kansas, and the sportsmen are
up in arms against the new regulations.

A Triumph in Mediation.

The progress of mediation by gov
ernment, both Federal and State, Off
cials in industrial disputes is splendidly
marked by the settlement of the strike
on the Delaware and Hudson Railway
through the arbitration brought about
by G. w. w. Hanger, of the Federal
Board of Mediation and Cancellation.
Mr.. Hanger required but few hours
to induce the parties to the difference
to effect a settlement through which
the employees gained what they con-
tended for-the reinstatement of two
of their fellows who had been dis
charged, and the right of the strikers
to take up again their former employ
ment, without prejudice.
The railway yielded, possibly through
a sense of expediency, perhaps through
a new understanding of the conflict of
interests, perhaps through an unwilling
ness to prolong a cessation of traffic
which already was imposing hardships
upon the public. The twenty-four hours
suspension of business on the road had
suficed to show the railway, the strik-
ing employees and the public what ruin
the walk-out was potential TO wreak.
Mr.. Hangers negotiations were ex-
peditious and, so far as can be learned,
satisfactory to both parties and to the
public. -...-..
A not far distant day, it is safe TO
predict, will see such differences set
tied not in the incipicncy of their re-
suits, but before they have eliminated
in actual open breaks. When employer
and employe are drawn so close to-
gether that the services of a mediator
for few hours can settle their troubles
they both have come very near that
degree of wisdom where they can agree
upon treaty of mutual advantage with
out ending their relations.

Shsrt Ssssisu.

Last summer our national legislators
had to be industrious, at least the Dem
ocrats were kept busy, and from that
time to this there has been little let up
in their activities. Now it is predicted
this session will be short, and while
that is counting the chickens before
they are Matched, yet there really is
more hope than last year for an early
adjournment because of the natural
anxiety of the majority to get home and
fix their fences for the fall campaign.
The addition of Senatorial contests, un-
der the popular election amendment,
aligns the Senate membership in this
wish with the House this year.
1t is generally understood that an
early adjournment is favored by the
President. There is no question of his
ability to control his party, as has been
shown in the past, but it is possible
his road may not be so clear in pushing
his legislative measures. Yet, when it
is recalled that so many of our Rep
resentatives are anxious to be out on
the stump The Herald believes the end
of July will be pretty close to the end
of the present Congress.

who were at the head of executive de-
partments, were strongly disposed to
initiate some of Mr.. Vanderbilcs
habits with respect to dress. Almost
all the heads of departments invari-
ably wore boots-at least as long as
Mr.. Vanderbilt lived. Some of his
subordinates kept up that custom until
they, too, passed away. At the head
of the real estate department of the
vanderbilt lines for many years was
a man In whom William II. Vanderbilt
had the utmost confidence, William
Van Arsdale.
In the course of his long career as
the head of the real estate department,
Mr.. Van Arsdale conducted with great
skill some real estate negotiations in
volving large amounts of money.
Il do not recall that he initiated Mr..
Vanderbilt's dress in any other way
than that he always had the same kind
OF boots which Mr.. Vanderbilt wore,
made, 1 think. by the same bootmaker.
Tt must have been some ten or
twelve years after Mr.. Vanderbilt's
death that Mr.. Van Arsdale was sud-
denly stricken by an attack somewhat
similar to the one which proved mortal
for William H. Vanderbilt I think II
was evening. and about the hour when
MT. Van Arsdale usually retired. when
just after he had taken OF, by means
Of a bootjack, one of his boots. he sue
cumbed to the attack. He was still
conscious when his wife found him. He
saw the boot which he had removed
lying upon the floor and he realized
that he had taken OF only one. There
upon in q faint voice he asked his wife
to draw on the boot again. for he
wanted to have both boots on when the
doctor came. Those were his last
words. He fingered for only an hour
and then passed away, having died 1T
orally with his boots on"

great commodore" said Capt. Freder-
ick C. Wagner. who was an intimate
friend of the vanderbilts. and who was
the provost-marshal OF New York City
during the four years of the civil war.
"william II. Vanderbilt, like his
father, could not be persuaded to wear
in the form of leather upon
his feet excepting the old-fashioned
high boots. For some twenty or thirty
years before the mid-sixties every gen.
tleman or every man who wanted to be
well dressed wore calfskin boots. They
came I'D so as to cover almost all of
the legs below the knees. The trous-
ers were worn over them. 1t was GUS
tomary for those who were fastidious
to have their boots made by some IA
vored bootmaker, and the choicest kind
of calfskin was utilized in the manu-
facture of them. Many men kept their
boot lasts with their bootmakers for
years, and the lasts sometimes passed
ON from one generation to another.

"william H. Vanderbilt was espe-
cially particular about his boots. They
were spendidly made and were so fit

ished. He never could be prevailed
upon to try to wear q pair Of congress
