to his friend. "Y' remember Einstein,
that pawnbroker guy what done us out
OF about ia thousand berries over that
little deal we pulled Off last July?"
''Yup, what ABOUT it?'
"Well, got In touch with guy
what works FIR Einstein, and what d'ys
think? Old Einstein's got house full
OF furniture-antique Stuff-uptown,
and his family's away at the seaside,
and the places empty"
"Well, what good'R that do us?
"Jest this. This guy Aronson, fig
gers it's about time to beat it before
Einsteln gets wise to his pickings.
and he's In with us On this play. That
furniture Of Einstein's all French i'm

berries real antiques, no kidding.

'Now here's the game. Ar0ns0n

morrow, and we takes the stun away.
The cop there knows AronsOn, and he

That don't make my mouth water"
answered Skinner, Waiting two or

Skinner. Lead me to it,"
The plans were made for a few days
ahead. he appointed time Larry

son had the key, and there was no
difficulty In gaining admission.
"Phew" muttered Larry, wiping the
sweat from his forehead. "This sure
Is some job, Skinner"
They had been at work nearly three
hours, and had just succeeded in car
rying out an enormous French side
board.
"GO easy with her, boys" said
Aronson. THAT bits worth two thou

"Scrape herr" muttered Larry. I'D

MARK TWAIN ON AX-GRINDlNG
How Humorist Reasoned That All Men
Are Be1aars, but at Same Time
Hate Mendleancy.

Commenting on the general practice
Of seeking favOrs, Mark Twain in a
new chapter from his Autobiography"
in Harper's Magazine, writes:
1.-THE coat-of-arms Of the human race
ought to consist of a man with an AK
on his shoulder proceeding toward a
g1ndstone. Or, it ought to represent
the several members Of the human race
holding out their hat to each other.
For we are all beggars. Each in his
own way.
Zone beggar is too proud to beg for
pennies, but will beg loan of dollars,
knowing he can't repay; another will
not beg loan, but will beg for post
mastership; another will not do that,
but will beg for an introduction to so
ciety; one, being rich, will not beg a
hod of coal of railway company, but
! will beg a pass his neighbor will not
| beg coal nor pass, but in social con-
verse with a lawyer Will place before
him a suppOsititiOus case in the hope
! of getting an opinion out Of him for
nothing one who would diSdain to beg
for any of these things will beg frankly
for the Presidency.
None of the lot is ashamed of him.
self, but he despises the rest of the
mendicants. Each admires his own
dignity, and carefully guards it, but in
his opinion the others haven't any,"

Before them stood Elnstein, uncork-

the allied committee on guarantees, and
two experts. The party will leave Sat

One of the chief purposes behind the
decision of the committee to have rep
resentatives direct with the German
authorities is to determine whether
Germany can mobilize sufficient securi-
ties for the 100000 pounds with
which to meet the remaining cash pay
ments due this year. The committee
believes that if adequate collateral can
be found. certain international bankers
would arrange the loan, it is said.

! final rewriting.
| During the long day and night hours
many efforts were made TO change sec
tiops of the bill but only few OF them
met with success. An outstanding 1ea
ture was renewal of the dye fight
and the re affirmation by the senate
of it's action of Thursday night IN In.
creasing the duties on coal tar dyes ana

basing them on American instead OF
foreign valuation. The vote to reaf-
firm was 80 to 81.

finally won its fight to require soap
manufacturers TO pay duty on vege-
table oils imported for use In manu-
featuring soap. Under the bill as re-
ported in the senate there was pro-
vision that such oils imported from nom
edible purposes would come in duty
free. but on motion of Senator Good

from Cuba, which sends this country

cent tax will net the state SIS, -
all of which goes into the general fund
for the exclusive use of the state.
This is a decrease of S6,S1536 from
the tax paid for the preceding year
when the total tax was S35.2I3.61

The board also levied taxes upon

The heaviest assessment is that
against the Union Tank Car company,

of $126, ,9O3.S4.
Next comes the Imperial Oil, Ltd,

The determination of the president
to use all the powers of the govern
ment to maintain transportation and

almost universally approved by mem
bers of congress. The two republican
leaders had this to say:
Representative Mondell:
THE president performed real
service in reiterating the determine
ton of the government to assist In all
lawful ways the maintenance of order
and the preservation of the people s
rights under the laws"
Senator Lodge:
In the enforcement of the law
and the protection of all men who wish
to work and of the rights of the Amer
lean people, he will certainly have my
most earnest support and in my opinion
the hearty support of congress and OF
the American people,

cratic house leader, said the presi-
dents message was so complicated and
involved that it is impossible to un-
derstand precisely what he means"
Senator Underwood, the democratic
leader of the senate. had no comment
to make. but Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas. democratic member of the in
terstate commerce commission. said
that while the income of general prin-
ciples might very well have been de-
ferred.. "he indorsed the doctrine that
both the railroads and the employees
must be brought to full understand
ing of the necessity for peaceful com
position of railroad controversies"
