"They want the increase in second
class postal rates.. which we wrote
into the last tax bill, repealed. and
this is their way of going about it,"
Kitchin then outlined how the game
is TO be played
''These lobbyists know that the man.
hood and patriotism and fair-minded-
ness of congress will forbid repeal of
this provision he said. They hope
to get the senate Ia provide in this
revenue bill for repeal for the postal
increases and then when the bill goes
to conference and is tied up for weeks
and months they will appeal 10 Presi-
dent Wilson ->1 Secretary McAdOC

REDDY RAccooN'S FAMILY.

Now Reddy Raccoon and his family
lived high up in tree without any
leaves even in the summer time. He
liked q dead tree best. He didn't care
at all about pine trees that stayed
handsome and green all the year
around. He didn't think leaves We're
pretty and fresh and green, nor did
he rave about them when they turned
into gorgeous shades of yellow and
golden. orange and flaming red.
"You know" he said, I'm not the
only one who feels this way about
trees. My family are the same way,
to be sure, but so are all my rela-
lions. Even our cousins in the zoo
are given a tree without leaves-a
tree that looks like a great pole ex-
cept that it has knotty branches"
ITS a fine home we have" said
Mrs. Reddy. eve have a sun parlor.

We can chat and talk in our own rae

I'm glad you're pleased" said
Reddy with broad smile.
'Have you begun the lessons YETI"

I'm going to begin this very morn

"What are you going to teach US,

You will love nice. soft dishes. for all

they loved hearing a secret in lesson
time. "Do tell u.s." they agreed.
I'VE are supposed to be very clean
and neat, and so we are. but we're
not quite as particular as folks. think"
'That's So" chimed in Reddy Dear
Mother Reddy = how much you do
know"
Mrs. Reddy looked at him fondly
and then said to the children: you
see, dears, that because We love to
mix our food in water they think (the
people I mean) that we are washing
It and that we won't eat dirty food.

It is soft"
I'VE don't eat anything that isn't
clean, do we, mother?"
You have all had nice vegetables

the illustrations turned out to be real

both meat and vegetables. and this is
true Of all his relations.

Often Reddy brought home small

Mrs. Reddy was delighted. He had

OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAfl
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won
Pardons From Grim Old "Oom
Paul" Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American
citizen, was in prison, under sentence
of death He had been tried and con
ticted of high treason to the South
African Republic. One of four leaders
of the reform movement in the Trans
vaal, he was charged with completely
in the famous Jameson raid, founc
guilty, and sentenced to die.
Only one person lived in the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to set asid9
the death sentence passed upon the
man who is known today as the great
est mining engineer in the United
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger,
then president of the South African
Republic. He was an old man-nar-
row. bigoted and possessed of an in
tense hatred for the eager, graSping
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only to despoil it.
John Hays Hammond was among the
most enterprising and, consequently,
one of the most diSliked. of the foreign
residents of the Transvaal. For years
he had been employed as an engineer:
first by Barney BarHato. the English
mining operator. and later by Cecil
Rhodes, to locate diamonds in Dom
Paul's country. Dom Paul disliked
him. He diSliked all men who brought
swarms of eager reckless Adventures
into his country And he made life as
difficult for them as he could.
In 1895 the world was startled by the
news that British adventurer, Doctor
Jameson, had led a raiding party OF
armed men into the Transvaal. The
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
WAS among those arrested on the &C.
cusation of having instigated Jane
sons attack on the South African Re-
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to die.
But the brave, cool-headed wife of
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband.
Ever since their marriage, in 1881,
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol-
lowed the fortunes of her young en-
gineer, no matter where they took him.
But when they threw him into Jail
under a death sentence, she decided
that it was time for her to interfere.
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime Of
putting an innocent man to death. 1t
was not easy to see President Kru.
ger, but Mrs Hammond proved equal
to the task. 1t was not easy to con-
vince a man who harbOred deep, ST.
lent contempt for women, that wom-
an was worth listening to; but Mrs.
Hammond was successful. Before she
left his office, Mr.. Kruger had prom
ised to spare her husbands life. The
president of the Transvaal republic
kept his word to Natalie Hammond.
Her husbands sentence was commut-
ed to Imprisonment for Is years and
later on, he was freed on payment Of
a fine of $125. 900, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness of knowing
that through her intercession, not only
her husbands life but the lives of the
| men arrested with him had been saved.
