Dodging the Duty.

Some Boston men, who bought a
spring supplying a Canadian table
water, found themselves in a fix when
tariff Of 25 cents a gallon was i'm
posed on the Importation of spring
water into the States. They wrote to
a New York lawyer, and asked him
how they could get round the law.
The lawyer thought hard. Then he
winked.
"Freeze your water" he said. Sim

ADMIRAL IS REMINDED
OF CARABAO INCIDENT

Washington, D. c., Jan 22.-Because
of the CarabaO banquet incident, rear
admiral Thomas B. Howard will not
be sent to command the Asiatic fleet,
succeeding rear admiral Reginald f.
Nicholson. Instead, he will relieve rear
admiral W C. COwles, commanding the
American squadron off the Pacific
Mexican coast
Admiral Howard was chairman Of
the CarabaO dinner committee and
with the other members, high army
and navy officers, was repTimanded at
the direction of president Wilson after
an investigation of the travesties and
songs which featured the military So
ciety's banquet
Under the circumstances we could
not send admiral Howard to the Phil
ippines," said secretary Daniels. But
as we have every confidence in him
we did not want to give him a COM
mand that would in any way appear
as a punishment. so we decided to send
him with the Pacific-MeXican squad
ron. This is satisfactory with admiral
Howard"
