During consideration of the tariff
bill in the recent session OF congress,
numerous southern organizations en-
dorsed protective rates. This is a
comparatively new attitude for q
southern organization to take. Never
theless, southern members of both
houses Of congress were almost unani-
nous in voting against the protec-
tive tariff bill on its final passage.
They showed a commendable devotion
to duty in voting for the interests
OF the great majority rather than for
those of a few manufacturers. Pos
sibly they remembered also what fire.
quently happens to Republican MEM
bers who vote for high tariff duties.

Swiss insurance companies have in
creased their rates on women risks as
much as Is per cent. The reason
given is that short skirts, high heels,
end low necks increase the likelihood
OF a woman's falling and hurting her
self or catching pneumonia. Low
neeks and high heels, perhaps. but
surely short skirts are not a menace.

of it. Bare, stark, glaring up at the sun, lay the stone carved with the let terS and the cross-bones. Forgetting in the haste of my departure to re- place the vines upon the grave, had left the stone to shout its secret to the first conner. And that happened to be MT. Tubbs. Happened, say, for I knew that he had not had the slight est notion where to look for the grave of Bill Halliwell. This running to earth of clues was purely an affair of his own picturesque imagination.
 I wondered uneasily what he had made of the uprooted vines-but he would lay them to the pigs, no doubt. In the countenance of Mir. Tubbs, flushed and exultant, there was no suspicion that the secret was not all his own.
 Miss Higglesby-Browne had a closed umbrella beneath her arm, and she drew and brandished 1t like a saber as she took a long stride forward.
 "Mr. Tubbs," she commanded, Head on!"
 But MT. Tubbs did not lead on. "Oh, no indeed" he said. "Old Fl. H. wasn't born yesterday. It may have struck you that to possess the sole and exclusive knowledge of the where about million or twO-ratin' 1t low-is some considerable of an asset. And it's one ain't got the least idee of partin' with unless for Inducements held out"
 Aunt Jane gave a faint shriek. I had been silently debating what my own course should be in the face of this unexpected development. Sud- denly saw my way quite clear. I would say nothing. Mir. Tubbs should reveal his own perfidy. And the cur tain should ring down upon the play, leaving Mir. Tubbs foiled all around, bereft both of the treasure and of Aunt Jane.
 Little I dreamed what surprises en- suing acts of the play were to hold for me, or their astounding contrast with the farce of my joyous imagina- tion.
 l took no part in the storm that ragged round Mir. Tubbs. His face adorned by a seraphic, buttery smile, he stood unmoved, while Miss Higgles- by-Browne uttered cyclonic exhOrta. tions and reprOaches, while Aunt Jane

Human Development.

Humanity, in its acquisition of knowledge, It's hopes, it's aspirations, it's ideals, is in a state of steady de- velopment. Tn art, it Is the personal expression of the artist, his indlvid- uality-shown not only in mere tricks of style, but in his state of mind, his attitude toward the world about him which counts most in the end. And that Is why art in any form is not a matter only of mere copying of facts. The line to be drawn is not always easy to define, perhaps. But one may best regard some extreme examples. The demand for subject and realism found strong expression in the vogue enjoyed by the chrOmOs years ago. About the same class of people who made the popularity of these color prints at that time today buy the or. iginal landscape etching "at $2.37, framed."-"How to Appreciate Prints" by Frank Weltenkampf.

as to the ultimate discovery of the cave.
 I was so eager myself to see the inside of the cave, and to know whatever 1t had to reveal of the fate of Peter, that was inclined to wish Mir. Tubbs success in driving his hard bargain, especially as 1t would profit him nothing in the end. But this sen- tlment was exclusively my own. On all hands indignation greeted the rig OrOus demands of MT. Tubbs. With a righteous joy I saw the fabric of Aunt Jane's Illusions shaken by the rude blast of reality. For where was the Tubbs of yesterday-the honey tOngued. the suave, the anxiously ob- seQulOus Tubbs? Gone, quite gone. Instead, here was Tubbs who cooked his helmet rakishly, and leered round upon the company, deaf to the claims of loyalty, the pleas of friendship, the voice of tenderness-Aunt Jane's.
 Manfully Miss Higglesby-Browne stormed up and down the beach. She demanded of MT. Shaw, of Cuthbert Vane, of Captain Magnus, each and severally, that Mir. Tubbs be compelled to disgOrge his secret. You saw that she would not have shrunk from a reg linen of racks and thumbscrews. But there were no racks and thumbscrews on the island. Of course we could have invented various instruments of torture - felt I could have developed some ingenuity that way myself-but too fa- tally we'll MT. Tubbs knew the civil ized prejudices of those with whom he had to deal. With perfect impunity he could strut about the camp, sure that no weapons worse than words would be brought to bear upon him, that he would not even be turned away from the general board to browse on cOconuts jn solitude.

sobbed and said, "Oh, MT. Tubbs !" while Mir. Shaw strove to make him. self heard above the din. He did at least succeed in extracting from the traitor a definite statement of terms. These were nothing less than fifty per cent of the treasure, secured to him by a document, sealed and delivered Into his own hands. To suggestion that as he had discovered the all-im- pOrtant tombstone, so might some one else, he replied with tranquility that he thought not, as he had taken pre- cautions against such an eventuallty. In other words, as l was later to dis cover, the willy Mir. Tubbs had con- trived to raise the boulder from It's bed and push 1t over the cliff into the sea, afterward replacing the mass of vines upon the grave.
 AS to the entrance to the tunnel, it was apparent to me that MT. Tubbs had not yet discovered it. Even if he had, I am certain that he would have been no more heroic than myself about exploring it, though there was no missing Peter to haunt his imagina- ton. But with the grave as a start ing point, there could be no question

HAVE OLD CAVEMAN INSTINCT
LoVers, In the Orient, Primitive In Their Methods of Demon
 strating Affection.

There are all sorts of ways of ex- pressing affection. The Mainichi, a Japanese journal, reports the case of a policeman at Hiroshima, who fell in love with a restaurant maid, and when she seemed cold endeavored to convince her of his passion, and may hap light an answering flame by thrusting her in the calf of her leg with his official sword. He might go further and issue manual on how to make love, suggests our cOntempo- rary. The case of the policeman In question Is doubtless a survival ot atavlsm, being a relic of the good old days In the paleOlithic age, when the cave man was wont to demonstrate his affection for his affinity by Occa- sional raps on the damsel's head with bludgeOn, says the Shanghai Times.
 The submagistrate of ChOwghat in India has just disposed of an unusual ly interesting case in which two Nair women of Guruvuyur, mother and daughter, charged three Nair youths with having removed a portion of the roof of the complainants' house and dropped a carcass of a crocodile through the aperture into the room in which the younger woman slept. The motive alleged was revenge, because overtures of the accused had been re- jected. An occidental would have taken laudanum or a Japanese swain would have committed harakiri. The Indian, however, showed an original ity of conception worthy of better object. Just imagine your feelings were you to see the dainty form of hippopotamus issuing from your ceiling!

The report of special board of officers which made detailed investigation into the affair resulting in the killing of Colonel Beck by Judge Day is now on its way to Washington Coming in advance of the reports are letters to Secretary of War Weeks and other officials of the department pre- dieting that the army report will shed new light of a startling character O0 the tragedy.

Treaty Upsets Conference.

GenOa.-The signing of treaty be- tween Germany and Russia, which nullifies the Brest-LitOvsk treaty and re-establishes full diplomatic relations between these two countries on a basis of equality, has caused profound as tonishment and resentment among the allied delegations. The ministers OI the powers which convened the con- ference decided to have a committees of experts examine this treaty to de- termine whether it conflicts with the Cannes resolutions or the treaty of Versailles.
