PLEA MADE TO FREE
TARIFF OF POLITICS.

Partisan politics" should be elimi-
mated from any consideration OF pro-

Republican, of Indiana, told the South

purpose in every way, and that IN

manufacturing and agriculture.
Senator Watson impressed upon the
delegates the necessity of considering
tariff legislation from the standpoint
of the whole people. The senator eX-
pressed the hope that Congress would
accord the farmer through tariff pro-
lection, the relief necessary to place
him on an economic equality with the
other business interests of the United
States.

Waiter Famous as
Poet Dies in Genoa

Genoa-Giovani Giorgi, the poet
waiter and Dante scholar of Milan
who would improvise you a sonnet
on the back of your luncheon bill,
or quote q page of Dante, while
serving glasses of beer, is dead.
GiOrgi was a well-known figure
of Milanese Bohemian life, and for
many years the small restaurant
where he served as waiter was the
rendezvous of students, writer's,
artists and even professors of
Dante studies and literature.
The pOet-waiter had an amazing
memory as well as an excellent lit
erary taste. He could recite the
entire "Divine Comedy" from be-
ginning to end, and make COM
ments on the works Of the great
FlOrentine poet which delighted
learned professors of the univer-
sity, who often gathered in the
restaurant to hear and see the
phenomenon.

Can't Assign Credit for
Invention of Compass

The origin of the mariners COM
pass is obscure. By some students
the instrument was said to have
been introduced into Europe from
the East. Others say it was a
western invention. 1t was certain
ly known to European navigators
as early as the Twelfth century.
Guyot de PrOvins, whose satirical
''bible" is supposed to have been
completed in 1905, described "a con-
trivance" of sailors which never de-
ceived them.
"They have an ugly brown stone
which attracts iron," be wrote.
"They mark the exact quarter to
which the needle points, which
they have rubbed on this stone, and
afterward stuck into a straw. They
merely put it in the water, in
which the straw causes it to swim !;
then the point turns directly to-
ward the (North) star, with such
certainty that it will never fail"
Guyot wrote about the compass
as if it were a new thing, but other
writer's reveal that the English in
the Twelfth century had already
mounted the needle on a pivot and
so done away with the straw and
water.-New York Times.

Sneeze Once Welcomed
as Harbinger of Luck

Xenophon, addressing his newly
elected generals, pleaded with them
henceforth to wage implacable war
with the enemy, "We have-the
godswilling-many fair hopes of de-
liverance." AS he spoke this last
word a man sneezed. When the
soldiers heard it, with one impulse
they all made obeisance to Zeus. 81
move, gentlemen" spoke Xenophon,
''since at the moment when we were
talking about deliverance an omen
from Zeus the savior was revealed
to us, that we make a vow to sac
rifice to that god thank-offerings
for deliverance as soon as we reach
a friendly land. All in favor of this
motion will raise their hands," We
read in the Anabasis that every
man in the assembly raised his
hand. Thereupon they made their
vows and stuck up the pean, pre-
pared to face the perils of the cele-
brated retreat.
This seems strange to US who
have lived to see the sneeze of epi-
denies destroy more men than were
killed in all the wars of Greece. So
we fear the drafts of alternating
warm and cold days.-New York

Fortune in Ambergris
Found Floating at Beach

LOndon.-The greed of a whale
which died from acute Indigestion
has provided London with the larg-
est lump of ambergris yet seen by
dealers.
1t weighs about 225 pounds, and
is worth nearly $4,000. For per-
fumery purposes it is worth any
thing up to SO per ounce.
This record lump was found on a
New Zealand beach by two broth
ers who will make small fortune
by the discovery.
Ambergris is the product of the
sperm whales fondness of cuttle-
fish. He cannot digest the beak of
the cuttlefsh, so the beaks accum-
ulate and set up irritation, which
causes the ambergis TO form. Even
tually the whale distends, becomes
i'll and blows up. The ambergris
floats away and it may be years
before it is washed ashore.
