There are very few mem- bers of Congress who would be likely to succumb to corrupt influence, but there are such and their votes, ona close division of the House might prove decisive. If what Representative Steenerson says is true, it would not be the first time in which money has been employed in Congress to promote steamship subsidy jobs. The country has not yet quite forgotten the scandal which put an end to the Pacific Mail Subsidy years ago. This subsidy bill in the house is an attempt to renew a policy which Congress then solemnly repudiated. What is certain now is that the prospective beneficiaries of ship bounty are subsidizing organs hav- ing no circulation except among themselves, whose chief vocation is to pour personal abuse upon Mem- bers of Congress who are opposed to their raid upon the Treasury. Two especial objects of this abuse are the Republican Members, Messrs. Steenerson, of Minnesota, and Kus- termann, of Wisconsin. Apart from public considerations this alone oughtto be enough to cause the subsidy job to be hurled out of Con- gress, notwithstanding the attempt to make it a party measure and to give it all the support of the Taft Administration.,—Philadelphia Record. THE DELINEATOR FOR APRIL. “The Rising Cost of Living”isa symposium in The Delineator for April to which ten distinguished men representing different walks of life contribute. The -whole field of high prices is covered, as each of the writers takes a different angle. “The American Farmer's Wife— Her Problem” helps solve the puz- zling question of the woman on the farm. Rheta Childe Dorr handles the church problem in *“The Institu- tional Church.” The fiction is by Zona Gale, Richard Washburn Child, Grace MacGowan Cooke, and a new serial, ““The Unforseen,” is begun by Mary Stewart Cutting. The early Summer fashions are set forth attractively in color and in words of authority. The number is well bal- anced and pleasing.

A Chinese Bunko Game. “I want to show you,” remarked George Wilson of Los Angeles, “how. keen the Chinese are at a bunko game. When I was in Tientsin they pulled off a good one. Poor fellow entered a pawnshop. Moment later man came In with package and inquired for him by name. Had a letter. First man handed letter to pawnbroker to read. BSaid: ‘Am sending you ten tael bar of gold as present. Am getting very rich, You must come to me. Your brother.’. “‘“Then I don’t need to pawn my watch!” joyfully exclaimed the poor man. ‘But 10 taels is great amount for one like me. No one would believe it was mine. Will you buy it from me? The pawnbroker took it back and weighed it. It weighed 12 taels. He handed over 10 and said nothing. When the men were gone, he sawed into the bar and found it filled with lead. In a moment a third man rushed in. ‘Did you have any dealings with those fel- lows? They cheated me. For 3 taels I'll lead you to them to get even.’ And he did, The two came back, protesting thelr entire innocence. ‘Produce the bar, and if it be not all right I shall return your money.’ The pawnbroker returned with the sawed bar. ‘Weigh it directed the poor man. ‘Ah, but this is a twelve tael bar. Mine was 10, and you paid me but 10. Stung for 13 taels!”—San Francisco Chronicle. Restless Animals. When you see the animals in the park menageries pacing back and forth restlessly in their cages, do not take it for granted that the creatures are un- happy or even discontented. It may be that the lion or the tiger or the polar bear that moves about with apparently ceaseless activity Is only taking his dally exercise, without which he would plne and die soon. When the wild creatures are in their native jungles they are kept pretty busy hunting food. Thus each day they walk many miles perhaps. In their narrow cages in the parks they are plentifully supplied with food, but their brawny bodies still demand a great amount of exercise. Mile after mile is paced off daily by the uneasy creatures. Usually they move with a long, swinging stride, but when mealtime comes around then the step quickens until when the keeper appears with his baskets of meat the tigers and llons and other animals leap against thelir bars and growl and whine and lash their tails. In fact, they act like great hungry boys do after a long day’s trawmp If they find that supper 18 late. Fish as They Bite. “1f you will take the time to investi. gate,” said an old time angler who has observed as he fished, “you will find that the full stomached trout in your catch will outnumber the empty stom- ached ones ten to one. This would seem to Indicate that it is the trout which has already dined well that is eager for more, while the one which has not dined at all regards it with in- difference. In other words, It is the satiated trout that bites and the hun- gry one that doesn’t—paradoxical prop- osition. And this odd circumstance is not confined to brook trout. Pickerel not only swollen with food, but having the talls of fish they have since caught protruding from their mouths because there is as yet no room for the newly taken victims in the capacious pickerel maw, will yet voraciously seize the tempting live bait of the fisherman, as any angler who has fished much for pickerel has doubtless had frequent proof.”—New York Sun. A Book Accident. When M. Henri, a quaint and shabby miser of threescore and ten, died in Parls some time ago, the closest search for treasure revealed nothing more val- uable than two shelves of dingy look- ing books, -which were sold, with his few sticks of furniture, to pay his fu- neral expenses. When the buyer of the books examined his purchase he discov- ered to his amazement two volumes of rare value—absolutely unique in the whole history of books—every page in each of them consisting of a five pound sterling note of the Bank of England. In all there were 820 pages, a neat ac- cident of $20,500. The Holy Carpet of Turkey. The holy carpet of Turkey is a gor- geous piece of red velvet embroidered with gold. It takes a year to make the carpet, and the sultan of Turkey then Intrusts it to the Egyptian pilgrims to place on the tomb of the prophet at Mecca. At the end of that time it is replaced by another carpet and is re- turned te Cairo with great ceremony. The right to carry the carpet has been handed down from camel to camel In the male line for hundreds of years. Neighbors Do the Repeating. “T wonder what's the meaning of the sxpression ‘History repeats itself?” asked Dubley. “I don’'t know,” replied Subbubs, “but T do know !Z it's scandalous fam- Uy histery it needn’t exert itself at all.” ~—Philadelphia Press. In Luck. “Mamma, do animals know what they are called?” “No.» Jack uttered a sigh of relief and re- marked, “It would bave been so unm- {leasant for the donkey, wouldn’t it?” IN THE INTEREST OF GOOD ROADS Third Day’s Session of Con= servation Congress. LOCAL BRANCHES FORMED Steps Taken to Organize County and Farm Associations to Apply the Principles of Conservation Discussed at the Meetings—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Federal Pure Food Expert, Talks on His Favorite Subject. St. Paul, March 19.—The third day’s session of the Minnesota Conservation and Development congress was nota- ble for many things. The Minnesota Roadmakers’ association was organ- ized and in addition an all day good roads section was held, with meetings in the morning, afternoon and even- ing. The opening session was called to order by Governor Eberhart and addresses were made by a list of speakers with expert knowledge not only on roads in this part of the coun- try, but also thoroughly versed in the roadmaking history of the world. Maps, diagrams, photographs and stereopticon views were used to illus- trate the addresses. Other states were represented at the good roads section, many visitors haying come from North and South Dakota and Wisconsin to take in the meeting. As a further step in the work of ap- plying the principles of conservation discussed at the congress organiza- tions are being formed by county and farm executives, who will have it in their power to direct the employment of scientific farming and administra- tive methods and a movement is now under way to organize county conser- vation committees, with the probabil- ity of frequent local meetings betwecn the adjournment of this and the con- vening of the next congress. Women Take Active Part. Women figured prominently in the day’s session of the general section of the congress, the discussions relat- ing to agricultural and industrial edu- cation, pure food, public health and sanitation. At a special session in the afternoon “Woman’s Part in Con- servation” was discussed by a number of women speakers. Two speakers of national reputation participated in the day’s programme, Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, and D. J. Crosby, spe- clalist in agricultural education. Dr. Wiley spoke during the after- noon on “Pure Food in Its Relation to Public Health and Conservation.” As one of the foremost authorities on questions of pure food Dr. Wiley’s message to the congress was listened to with interest. Mr. Crosby has been connected with the department of agriculture for seven years. He came from Washing- ton especially to address the congress. Professor E. R. Denfeld, superin- tendent of the Duluth public schools, made an address upon “Education and Current Business and Their Relation to Each Other,” and George F. How- ard and D. D. Mayne of the agricul- tural college handled the subject from the viewpoint of the educator. LIFTS BAN ON FOREIGNERS Land Ownership Bill Passes Lower House at Tokio. Tokio, March 19.—The government’s land ownership bill was passed by the lower house. This measure permits the ownership of land in Japan by such foreigners only as come from a country which extends similar privileges to Japanese residents. It has been stated in Tokio that Americans would be given the right of ownership in Japan notwith- standing the restrictions placed upon Japanese immigrants by certain states of the Union. WILL RUSH WORK ON ROAD Forty Thousand Men to Be Employed | % on Canadian Line. Prince Albert, Sask., March 19.—Dr Reid of London is here, representing the English bondholders, who will build the Hudson Bay railroad. He says 40,000 men will be employed on the work and simultaneously work will commence at Fort Churchill, Prince Albert and Edmonton. The line will be 800 miles long and is to be com- pleted in three years, to carry grain to Europe by way of Hudson bay. May Die of His Wounds. Chicago, March 19.—In a fight in the rooms of the local union of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Electrical ‘Workers Richard A. Shields, financial secretary, was shot and probably fa- tally wounded and many of the mem- bers were badly injured by missiles. Ray C. McElheny, the president, was arrested, charged with the shooting. STANDS FOR THE OPEN DOOR Prominent Japanese Banker Discuss His Country's Attitude. New York,~March 19.—“Japan is first of all a practical nation,” says R. Ichinomuja, head of the Yokohama specie bank on Wall street, in a state- ment on the question of the “open door” in China. “Japan unquestionably believes in equal opportunity for the monetary in- terests and commerce of all nations in China,” continues - Mr. Ichinomuja, “but business is business and you must bear in mind that China is a sovereign nation and can do business with whomsoever she likes. “Japan is in harmony with the Unit- ed States in her general attitude in China as she has shown in Man- churia. Naturally, however, she is op- posed to the neutralization of the Manchurian railway. . This was ceded to her by Russia after a war which cost Japan dearly, and it is scarcely to be expected that she will willingly glve up control of what costs so much.” GREAT DEMAND FOR BABIES New York Swamped With Orders From the South. New York, March 19.—The annual report of the New York Foundlingand Orphan asylum declares. that there is an unusually active demand for New York babies in the South. "A ship- ment of seventy bables, sent South some time ago, proved so satisfactory that the institution has been swamped with requests for more and is now getting ready to send another consign- ment. INDIANS 'DIE OF STARVATION Seventy-five of the Dogrib Tribe Per- ished During Winter. Dawson, Y. T. March 19.—The Northwest mounted police expedition arriving from Fort McPherson, at the mouth of the MacKenzie, brings word that seventy-five Fort Rae Indians of the Dogrib tribe near Great Slave lake died this winter of etarvation. New Battleships About Ready. Washington, March 19.—Uncle Sam’s navy will gain two more big battleships inside of three weeks, for orders were issued at the navy de- partment to take over from the con- tractors and commission the Delaware and the North Dakota, sister ships of 20,000 tons each. The Delaware will be commissioned at Norfolk April 4 and the North Dakota at Boston two days later. Dragged Into Engine Wheels. Milbank, S. D, March 19.—Otto Schwandl, twenty years old, living near Corona, Roberts county, is dead from being injured in an accident while working around a gasoline em- gine on his farm. Weston in Good Condition. Peabody, Kan, March 19.—Edward Payson Weston, the long distance walker, arfived here at 9:45 a. m., af- ter having passed the night at New ton, apparently in excellent condition. He was given an enthusiastic rccep- tion and was welcomed by hundreds of school children. Winning a Juryman. It is related of Lachaud, the most famous of French criminal lawyers in the last century, that in pleading a cer- taln case he perceived that one of the Jurors seemed to be hostile to him and his argument. In the faces of all the other men in the box he saw with his practiced eyes that his oratory or his shrewdness was having its effect, but this man, in spite of all Lachaud could do, remained frowning, suspiclous, obdurate. Lachaud continued with his work, however, and presently saw that his opportunity had come. It was a hot day, and a ray of sunlight had pene- trated a crevice on the curtain and was shining on fhp of the head of this jury- man, who was quite bald. The lawyer paused in his argument and addressed Dimself directly to the court. “If your honor would please,” he yald, “to order that the curtain in yonder window be lowered a trifle I am sure that the sixth juryman would appreciate 1t.” This sign of watchful attention won the obstinate juryman’s heart ‘and Lachaud’s case.—New York Trihuna.

P TORR BREWING OOMPANY, %o P.0. Schmia P dortagse, Attorney, N - TS FirstFeb.19. Last April &= - sale of the || Food and Emotion. The following really happened on board a pleasure steamer in the Kyles uf Bute. A young honeymoon couple were sitting side by side gazing on the lovely scenery around them. “Isn't it heavenly, George?” she mur- mured. “I feel thrills all over me.” Then without a pause, as if still car- rled away by the inspiration of the moment, “Dearest, if there are any left I think I would like a chocolate.” No good reason exists why spiritual emotions should not make one hungry. The bride who demanded 'sweets was wiser than a girl who once remained starving and inconsolable in her room after the departure of her lover for India. At last an amateur Hebe ven- tured upstairs with a cup of coffee and a plate of toast. Yielding to per- suasion, the afflicted maiden was in- duced to eat and drink and began to look somewhat less dejected. “] believe I was dying for something all the time,” she finally confessed, “but I was afraid to ask lest people ‘would believe me to be less unhappy $han I really am.”—London Black and ‘White, A Tribute to Sauerkraut. Those Americans who have vislted Munich know well the noble statue at the head of the Kartoffelsaladstrasse, raised by grateful Bavaria to the mem- ory of St. Hermann of Pilsen, in- ventor and protagonist of sauerkraut. The genial old saint, a smile upon his face, is seen stirring a large kettle of kraut with an oar of gilt bronze, and 8o lifelike is the carving that the trav- eler, standing by, can well nigh scent the perfumed steam and hear the flut- ter of angelic wings. In these unro- mantic United States we have no pub- Hc monuments to Hermann, and his very name Indeed is unknown to all save a few cognoscentl. But neverthe- less and notwithstanding this neglect the delicious victual he gave to the world is firmly enshrined in-the hearts of the American people, Stewed gen- tly in Rhine wine, it tickles the esoph- agl of the opulent; boiled in plain hydrant water, it nourishes the son of toil. It is at once a viand, a passion and a public institution.—Baltimore Sun. ‘TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets Dlllzflsbs refund money if it fails to cure E ‘W.GROVE'S signature is on each box. 25¢ FREE MUSIC We want every out of town musician to send their name and address to receive our lists of new popular music and stand- ard publications.
