Hurrah for Vyk Mrs. Vyk-Kuneticka has made herself the most talked of person in Bohemia. Time was when Vyk made quite a reputa- tion contributing prose and poems to Czech magazines. Then she became an actress and had a successful career in the national theatre in Prague. After her marriage she became interested in the woman's suffrage question. The Bohemian law-limits the votes to the men, but it doesn’t say anything at all about excluding any one from eligibility to the Bohemian parliament. That's where Vyk shone. Being a fine actress, she is some talker. She went right out on the stump and orated in Czech to the peasantry Result: She beat a mere man to the tune of 475 majority, @nd is demanding the job. Now Prince Thun, lord lieutenant of emia, and the supreme tribunal of the Austro-Hungarian empire, are all scratching their heads and digging into musty law books.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—There is no longer any question that the democratic leaders in the house of representatives are more anxious to kill than to pass tariff legislation. Tariff for political purposes is more popular with them than a genuine tariff revision in the Interest of the people, Bad faith by Chairman Underwood in his handling of the wool bill, In his refusal earlier to bring forward a cotton bill, and in attempt- ing to make political capital out of 4 false-pretense free sugar bill, are now practically admitted even by democratic members of the house. Representative Harrison (democrat) of New York, in a speech made on |the 20th of July, stated frankly that he and many of his colleagues were not in favor of having the president sign any tariff bill at the present time; that he preferred that the whole matter go over until after March 4, 1913 Chairman Underwood showed his position clearly when he refused | to ask for a conference on the wool bill. This is the same bill identical- ly that passed congress a year ago, with the approval of Chairman Un- derwood and his following in the house, added to the democratic and| progressive following in the senate. It was vetoed by President Taft. The excuse for the veto was the t that the tariff board had not then reported. Since then the tariff board has reported, and its report shows that this combination bill could not bave bewn better drawn if the report had been actually in the hands of those who drafted it. OVER THE TELEPHONE He was just about exasperated with the telephone, was Mr. Busiman. Ten minutes that morning he had tried to get on to a number, and each time something had prevented him from speaking. Either it was he’s busy,” or the person he wanted to speak to was out, or else he had been suddenly cut off. At last he got through, “Hallo!” said he, “Is Mr. X there?” “Yes,” replied a voice, “Do you want to speak to him?” ‘That was the last straw. Back came the reply in icy tones: “Oh, no; nothing of the sort. I merely rung up to hand him a cigar!” —Answers, Londow.
