The author of “Behind the Skenes In Pe- king” tells a story of how Li Hung Chang, after concluding the treaty of Shimonosekl, was presented by the empress with a cloth of gold bag con- taining some heavy article. The treas- ure turned out to be a large vase, and Li, who was an enthusiastic collector of Chinese ceramics, at once sent for his secretary, Mr. Pethick, to come and examine the new acquisition. Some time was spent in a careful examination to determine the dynasty during which this treasure was pro- duced, but the date of this especial paste was lost, with its other technical classifications. After a long time Mr. Pethick lifted it gingerly, placed it on a table, put himself in front of it, drawing a wrap round his shoulders, and slowly, very slowly, held his hands up to it, turning them in the attitude of warming at a fire. Chinese need few words. Li under- stood and was heartbroken. The pan- tomime Indicated to him that the sup- posed priceless vase was only a clever reproduction made in Paris, and the secretary, warming his hands before it, meant it was so fresh from the pottery furnace that he could still notice the warmth.

On one occasion Bianchi, the uoted teacher, went on the stage to see Bri- gooli, the famous singer, whom be found pacing up and down like a mad man, humming over his part. “Why, Brig, what is the matter with you? Are you nervous?” he asked. “Yes, I am nervous,” was the reply as he walked harder and faster than ever. : “But, Brig, you ought not to be nerv- ous. ['ve heard you sing the part 200 times. 1 beard you sing it thirty years ago.” “Thirty years ago! Who are you that should know so much?” “Who am I? You know who I am, and I know who you are.” “Very well; you know what I am, but I am sure you do not know what you are, and if you wish I will tell you. You are a fooll” ° Hazing Hi “Mr. Chairman,” said the new mem- ber of the literary club, “1 move you. sir'— *1 rise to a point of order, Mr. Chair- man,” interrupted one of the other members. “State your point of order.” “The gentleman says ‘l move you.' It is not only out of order but utterly absurd for a man of 114 pounds to talk of ‘moving’ a chairman who weighs 300" “The point is well taken!” roared the presiding officer, bringing his gravel down with a resounding thud. *“The gentleman will merely ‘move’ or take his seat!”—Chicago Tribune. A Cent. A cent is a little thing, but in the ag- gregate it is mighty. We speak of the “copper cent,” but it is not entirely copper. Its composition is 95 per cent copper, 8 per cent tin and 2 per cent zinc. That alloy is in reality bronze, and the official name of the cent is “bronze.” There used to be a copper cent, but an act discontinuing its coin- age was passed In 1857. For seven years (1857-84) we had a nickel cent and up to 1857 a copper half cent. HAPPINESS. Before we bring happiness to others we must be happy ourselves, nor will happiness abide within us less we confer it on others— Maeterlinck. TAFT INSISTS ON VOTE ON TREATY President Gives Straight Tip to Senators. SAYS PEOPLE FAVOR IT Unless Action Is Taken in the Upper Branch of Congress by March 4 an Extra Session Will Be Called to As- semble Soon After That Date—Crane and Carter Working to Carry Out Programme. Washington, Feb. 9.—If administra tion senators had any doubt about the attitude of, President Taft toward the Canadian reciprocity agreement it was removed when Senators Crane and Carter returned to the'Capitol from a conference with the president at the White House. The message which these senators brought to their col- leagues was that there must be a vote on the agreement at the present ses- sion, or congress will be called pack in extra session almost immediately ~ |after adjournment on March 4. Although Messrs. Crane and Carter declined to discuss their mission to the White House the report soon leaked out that the president was in- sistent upon a vote. It is said he made plain his belief that the country generally favored the adoption of a reciprocity agreement with Canada; that the McCall bill to put the agree- ment into force will pass the house with a large majority and that the sen- ate would enact the measure if given an opportunity to vote upon it. Senate Rules May Aid Defeat. The rules of the senate, which per- mit untrammeled discussion of a measure, are principal barriers to a vote in that body. It is known that Senators Heyburn and Bailey are bit- terly opposed to the agreement and that the opposition extends also to most of the progressive Republicans who represent agricultural states. Some of these senators have hinted that their relations with the White House have not been sufficiently pleas- ant of late to cause them to exert themselves in support of an adminis- tration measure. Senators Crane and Carter entered at .once upon a campaign designed to advance the president’s pro- gramme. Already they have conferred with other senators who are especially friendly to the administration and have sought to enlist their services in a movement to obviate the necessity of an extra session. Reciprocity Stands First. The impression has prevailed at the Capitol that President Taft would in- sist upon votes on both the Canadian agreement and the bill to create a permanent tariff board, but this par- tially was removed. According to the general report at the Capitol the pres- ident placed the Canadian agreement above the tariff board measure and would be satisfied if the former were enacted at this session. In the event the permanent tariff board should fail it is believed that an appropriation would be voted in the closing days of the session to con- tinue the existing board for amother year. If an extra session.should be called by reason of the failure of the senate to grant a vote on the Canadian agreement it is understood that the president then would demand the creation of a permanent tariff board and might go so far as to promise data on the wool and woolen schedule of the tariff act if the Democratic house Qesired it. ‘PASSES HOUSE AND SENATE Gamble Bill for the Relief of Home- steaders. ‘Washington, Feb. 9.—The Gamble bill for the relief of settlers in North and South Dakota, Nebraska and oth- er states has passed the house and senate and now goes to the president for approval. The bill relieves homestedders from the necessity of occupying claims dur- ing the winter months. It gives them leave of absence from their claims until May 15 and extends until that date the time within which they are required to effect an actual settle- ment. CINCINNATI MAS A SCANDAL Deputy Tax Collector Is Indicted on Bribery Charges. Cincinnati, Feb. 9.—Six indictments charging bribery were returned by the Hamilton county grand jury against Jacob Bascharg, deputy tax collector and promtent in local political circles. The bills follow an Inquiry into al- leged fraudulent practices by which certain large breweries are said to have obtained refunds of liquor taxes. Bride of Sixteen. Divorced. Butte, Mont., Feb. 9.—Jennie Martz, & sixteen-year-old bride, secured a divorce after her case had dragged through the courts for a number of years. She testified that the only sup- port her husband, George Martz, had afforded her was to buy her one skirt. WANTS PART OF THE ESTATE Nephew of Mrs. Eddy Latest Contes- tant. of Will. f Concord, N. H.,, Feb. 9.—Another complication in the contest of the dis- posal of the $2,000,000 residue of the estate of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church, is . threatened. George W. Baker of this city, son of a deceased brother of Mrs..Eddy, has decided to take steps to determine what he con- siders his fljhtl in the mtter Mr. Bakef’s' atl Merrimack county superior court that on Feb. 11 they will file a petition ask- ing permission for Mr. Baker to inter- vene in the suit now pending in that court, brought by George W. Glover of Lead, 8. D, Mrs. Eddy’s son, and Dr. E. J. Foster-Eddy of Waterbury, Vt., agains® Henry M. Baker, ‘executor of the Eddy estate. NINE GERMANS ARE SLAIN Victims of Revolt in the Caroline Isl- ands. Victoria, B. C., Feb. 9.—The steamer Zealandia brought ' reports of the revolution suppressed by German war- ships on Ponape island in the Caro- lines. The rising_ started from the punishment of a native workman. The German overseers took to flight and were sheltered in a Catholic mission, which the natives placed under siege. The defenders, nine in number, all Germans, were killed. Father Gebhard, the missionary, was killed when seeking to leave the mis- sion and the road superintendents were hacked to pieces after a gallant fight at the beach, where they sought to launch a boat. NO I0WA SENATE PRIMARY House Defeats Bill Urged on Behalf of Senator Young. Des Moines, Feb. 9.—The Iowa house of representatives defeated the Harding bill for a special primary to select a successor to the late Senator Dolliver by a vote of 38 to 32. This was the measure urged by the support- ers of Senator Young, the “standpat” candidate. Thirty-eight Democrats did not vote. The day’s vote on United States senator resulted as follows: Funk, 55; Young, 37; Kenyon, 7; Garst, 1; Hen- ry Wallace, 1; Porter, Democrat, 53; absent, 3; necessary to elect, 77. FDOIJ AND DIGESTION. Civilized Man Needs Cheerful Sur- roundings at His Meals. Robust people so long as they get its their own uncultivated pt to make very light of call “fancies” about food and overlook their real importance. Feeding on the part of civilized man is not the simple procedure which it is with animals, although many ani- mals are particular as to their food and what is called “dainty.” The ne- cessity for civilized man of cheerful company at his meal and for the ab- sence of mental anxiety is universally recognized, as well as the importance of an inviting appeal to the appetite through the sense of smell and of sight, while the injurious effect of the reverse conditions, which may lead to nausea and even vomiting, is admitted. Even the ceremonial features of the dinner‘table, the change of clothes, the leisurely yet precise succession of approved and expected dishes, accom- panied by pleasant talk and light hearted companionship, are shown by strict sclentific examination to be im- portant aids in the healthy digestion of food, which need not be large in quantity because wisely presented— 8ir Ray Lankester in ILondon Tele- graph. Why Spiders Fight. When two spiders fight there is gen- erally a good reason for the attack and the vigorous defense that follows. It is not generally known that after a certain time spiders become inca- pable of spinning a web from lack of material. The glutinous excretion from which the slender threads are spun is limited; therefore spiders can- not keep on constructing new snares when the old ones are destroyed. But they can avail themselves of the web producing powers of their younger neighbors, and this they do without scruple. As soon as a spider’s web constructing material has become ex- hausted and its last web destroyed it sets out in search of another home, and unless it should chance to find one that is tenantless a battle usually en- sues, which ends only with the retreat or death of the invader or defender. A Pretty Compliment., His incessant work, his avoidance of all rest and recreation and his rigorous self denial made Joseph Pulit- zer in his days in harness the despair of his family. In this connection a pretty story Is told about the famous journalist’s son Ralph. Mr. Pulitzer had refused to take a holiday, and Mrs. Pulitzer ex- claimed: “Did you ever know your father to do anything because it was pleas- ant?” “Yes, once—when he married you,” the young man gracefully replied.— ‘Washington Post.

HALF A DOZEN GENERALS SHIlT Ilaytlen Rebel Leaders Sum- marily Put to Death. MlLLIoNARll\AMONfi THEN Head of the Revolutionary Army and a Man of Influence in the Republic One of the Victims of the Govern- ment Order—Executions of Fre- quent Occurrence in Hayti During Times of Rebellion. Cape Haytien, Hayti, Feb. 9.—Gen- eral Millionard, the head of the revo- lutionary forces, and five other rebel generals were taken from' the prison at Trou and shot to death. General - Millionard was arrested soon after the uprising occurred and remained in confinement until his ex- ecution was ordered by the govern- ment. He belonged in the department of Vallieres. Gerleral Millionard is the second prominent army officer executed as a traitor during the present rebellion in Hayti Cape Haytien advices describe him as the leader of the revolt. He was formerly of considerable influence in the Haytien army and probably co- operated with General Montreuil Guil- laume in the capture of Trou. Guii- laume was captured by government troops as he was advancing to attack Cape Haytien and was summarily shot. The executions at Trou make it | evident that the government has again occupied the town. According to the latest advices Quanaminth was still occupied by the rebels, though an at- tack by President Simon’s soldiers ‘was imminent. Drumhead courtsmartial are common at times of rebellion in Hayti. A notable instance occurred at Port au Prince on Sunday, March 15, 1908, during the revolution that in the fol- lowing fall overthrew President Nord Alexis. Ten men suspected of dis- loyalty were taken from their homes and shot. FACES ARREST; ENDS LIFE Mayor of Ault, Colo,, Commits Suicide in Denver. Denver, Feb. 9.—The body of James K. Houghton, the mayor of Ault, Colo., who committed suicide here when an officer knocked on his door to arrest him for passing worthless checks, will probably be taken back to his old home at Plymouth, Ind,; for interment. The suicide was sensational. While here on a visit two months ago Houghton is said to have passed three bogus checks.

The result was unsatisfactory and they went to the door to admit the officer. into his brain. COVERS FARMERS’ DEMANDS Government Grain Bill Introduced at Ottawa. Ottawa, Ont., Feb, 9.—The govern- ment’s bill covering the demands of the grain growers who visited Ottawa last December, so far as transporta- tion, inspection and storage of grain are concerned, was introduced in the senate by Sir Richard Cartwright. The measure was given its first reading and passed. It will become law. The Cartwright bill has the weight of gov- ernment approval. It materially af- fects the Manitoba grain act. In introducing the bill Sir Richard pointed out that under its provisions the commission to be named would have the same extensive supervision over the transportation, inspection and storage of grain that now lies within the powers of the railway commission. FOR ADVERTISING PURPOSES Harriman System to Expend $1,250, 000 This Year. Chicago, Feb. 9.— Approximately $1,250,000 is to be expended during the present year by the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad systems in advertising their facilities and the industrial development of the West. This program, indicating the confi- dence in the prosperity of the country on the part of the Harriman manage- ment, was determined upon at a meet- ing of some fifty of the passenger offi- cials of the Harriman system, who have been in session in Chicago dis- cussing their plans for the year. Loses the Savings of Years. Milwaukee, Feb. 9.—Mrs. Augusta Lauterbach, -a. widow, has reported to the police that she had been robbed of more than $5,000, the savings of twenty4wo years, which she had hid- den in a hole in the cellar of her home.

Mr. Fowler at- tributed the increase in the plague at Chefoo to the arrival of Chinese from Manchuria. As they did so Houghton |- drew a revolver and fired a bullet | SHEEHAN WILL NOT WITHDRAW -Refl'lseé to Listen to Pro- posal of Insurgents. JOINT CAUCUS IS HELD lock, but Adjourn Without Reaching a Solution of the Trouble—Sheehan Still a Dozen Votes Short of Neces- sary Number. Albany, N. Y., Feb. 9.—The Demo- cratic members of the legislature, reg- ulars and insurgents, went into secret sesgion shortly after 10 a. m. in an ef- fort to break the deadlock over the election of a United States senator. Speaker Frisbee presided. There were speeches by several in- surgents declaring that the only pos- | sible basis of agreement was the with- drawal of William F. Sheehan from the contest. The organization speak- ers, including Senator Thomas F. Grady and Dr. Bush, the latter the nominator of Mr. Sheehan in the cau- cus, took the position that the ma- jority must rule and declared that the withdrawal of Mr. Sheehan could not be considered. The conference ad- journed at 12:20 without taking ac- tion, but with the belief that it might the insurgents closer together. The nineteenth joint ballot showed no change in the situation, being as follows: Democrats—Sheehan, 86; Shepard, 10; Kernan, 9; Glynn, 3; Littleton, 2; O’Brien, 2; Parker, 1; Sulzer, 1; Tay- lor, 1.
