A LENGTHY SESSION
Little Lady Had Terrible Fear When
the Congregation Began to
Sing Number One.

The very small lady found a certain
difficulty in maintaining an air Of
Christian resignation as she entered
the church. To begin with, she had
on a perfectly new summer frock, and
she was quite aware that her hair, just
combed out Of curl papers. looked a
little nicer than usual. Furthermore
She was being allowed to come to
church like q grown-up, as the chosen
companion of an entirely grown-up
uncle. 1t was the first time, too. So,
at the beginning Of things, she strug-
gled to overcome an un-Christian
pride, feeling at the same time quite
sorry for children who were still al
lowed to go only to Sunday school.
Then, after what seemed a very long
time of very long speeches, which OBJ
viously were not original because the
rector read them out Of a book, and
much singing Of music Of a not par
ticularly interesting sort, things began
to seem a little dull. Try as she might,
she couldn't escape a consciousness of
the fact that the sun was shining
Drlsnliy OUTSIDE, anu tnar IL was get
ting on toward the hour when every
II would be going to take a swim or
paddle in a canoe or do something else
interesting. Then the congregation
rose to sing a hymn, and the grown-up
Uncle gravely opened a hymnal and
held 1t so that she might see the words.
1t was opened at hymn No. I. She
could see that, and she had heard the
rector announce it.
The grown-up uncle observed res
~tiveness On the part OF the very small
lady, which he translated as a desire
to whisper. He leaned down to listen.
Uncle Henry" she said. "they-they
don't go straight through the book, do
they?'--Cincinnati Times-Star.

Bird Migration.

For many years the annual migra-
ton Of the birds, although a perfectly
familiar fact, was shrouded in mys-
terry, says the New York Sun. Except
In the case Of a few birds like the
robin, which winters not far south Of
It's summer home. no one knew where
al.g son, .h.sas Or the s.ssTe birds went
In the fall, or when they began their
northwnrd journey In the spring.
But the subject has been carefully
aud patiently studied by SO many
observers and naturalists that it is M
longer impossible to answer these ques-
tiens. The cliff swallows and black
potl warblers spend their winters In
tropical South America; the golden
plovcr, which nests on the Arctic sea-.

NOT A VALID OBJECTION

That the emergency tariff measure
DESIGNED TO give relief to the farmers
Is special legislation. Is quite true. but
the assertion to that effect made by
REPRESENTATIVE Madden. OF Illinois. does
not necessarily. carry any condemnation.
Special legislation. when intended to
meet a special emergency. Is entirely
right and proper.
Mr. Madden's point Is that the bill
now under consideration places tarin
on few articles only and bars thou
sands Of others which have an equal
claim, TO be included. This is not sup
ported by the facts. The farmer was
hit first and hardest when prices
dropped. His purchasing power has
been enormously reduced and because
OF that, every business IN the country
Is affected.
As Mr.. Madden is aware, it would be
entirely impossible to frame and pass
a general tariff law at the present sh9yt
session. General tariff revision usually
requires from six to nine months OF
hard work. The proposed emergency
tariff on a few agricultural products can
be passed at this session and II passed
will 60 far toward relieving the farmer
and reviving general domestic trade. II
will also contribute a few badly needed
millions to the national revenues.

THE PoINDEXrER BILL

Anti-strike legislation, as 1t applies to
railroads only. Is OF 4 vitality different
character from the same kind Of legtsla-
t,on applied 20 other Industries. This
fact must be kept in mind in the consid-
Grafton Of the bill just passed BY the
senate, which prohibits strikes that
would interfere with interstate com
merce.
Railroads are inseparably connected
with the public interest, and are to a
very great extent wards Of the govern
neut. Private ownership Of railroads is
in name only, since the government
regulates charges. income, wages and
working hours. This being the case.
men who work for railroads arc TO a
considerable extent government en-
ployes and not subject to wages and
conditions made by private employers.
The Poindexter bill 10 prevent inter
ference with interstate commerce b.
strikes is a recognition of this excep-
t!onal status Of railroads and railroad
employees. It does not limit in any way
the right Of the individual to quit his
employment as desired. 1t Is admittedly
something new in legislation but Is de-
signed to conform TO the now relations
Of railroads and the national govern
ment

WHAT CAUSED PE1RcE's
DEATH?

Possibility OF Ar interesting techn'cai
nolnt is seen in the coroner FeruieS va
the death OF Henry T. Peirce' Oh h''"
anI,h,, two OF whose alleged stayers

has given a verdict Of death que " -"
Iuries TO the head and illuminating 30"
noisoning. 1t Is not stated whe'ner '''o
gas was escaping or whether u was '''
fumes OF burning gas that con'ripu'eu
10 Peirce's death.
In case II can be shown that the ae-
cused slayers were not responslo4e i''
the part the gas played In feirce >
dsa,h. the question will arise whetner
he would have died from the effects OF
the blows on the head alone IL NOT
there Is a possibility that the criminals
may escape conviction for murder IL
may be argued that the blows on the
head inflicted by them make them re-
snonsible for Peirce's death whether
the blows actually produced death or
mot, but this contention might not holo
in court.
In this connection, II is interesting TO
recall the case Of member OF the Penn
sylvania state police. who was shot by
q thug a few years ago. This particular
officer had always boosted that no Grim
NAL would ever have the satisfaction OF
killing him. as ne would shoot himself
with his own gun II he knew he was
fatally wounded. As II happened he
was followed and shot In the back by
one criminal while trailing another
True 10 his boast. he drew his revolver
and shot himself through the head
dying instantly.
The man who shot him was caught
tried and convicted Of murder IN the
first degree. His case was carried 10
the supreme court. which reversed the
verdict on the ground that the criminal
did not actually kill the officer. 1t was
admitted that the wound inflicted by
the thug was OF fatal nature. but tho
obvious fact that the officer had killed
himself and therefore had not died from
The criminals bullet was held to nullify
the murder charge. In the Peirce case.
q somewhat similar claim may be ad-
vanccd as a result OF the coroners YER
dict For the sake OF justice. It Is to be
hoped, that no such technicality VIII
arise
