Our respect for China is consid
erably enhanced by the information
that the Chinese do not eat chop

Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wilson are
delighted, over the Constitutional
amendment to cause electing U .S.
Senators by popular vote.
Both of these great Democrats
have been heartily in favor of this
amendment and Mr. Bryan es
pecially has championed it for more
than twenty years, and it is through
his brilliant work in pointing out to
the country the sources of corrup
tion thatenamated from the election
of Senators by legislatures instead
of through the people themselves
that aroused the country to action.
So this amendment to the Consti
tution is a great Bryan victory.
THE NEW TARIEE BILL.
The new tariff bill just presented
to Congress has been received
with more heartly approval through- I
out the country than any that has I
been presented heretofore for more
than half a century. While the
Republicans have strained every i
nerve in endeavering tofind grounds
on which to critiicise the same, yet
they have found remarkably little
with which to find fault.
One of the great objects of the
re-adjustment of the tariff is to re
duce the very high cost of living,
by placing nearly all articles that
go into the market basket on the
free list.
It will be recalled that when
President Taft negotiated his reci
procity treaty with Canada a few
years ago that cattle and all kinds
of live stock were "admitted free"
from Canada which brought the
American Farmer into competition
with the Canadian Farmer, but
on the other hand, dressed beef
was not admitted free thereby pro
tecting the great beef trust which
needs no protecting. The present
tariff bill admits dressed beef free
from every country thereby com- i
pelling the beef packers to compete |
with the beef packers of the world.
On the other hand the Farmer is
remembered by a tax of ten per
cent on live stock of all kinds. The
bill aims to reduce the cost of liv
ing by reducing the cost to the far
mer of pi oducing his crop, and along
that line fence wire has been placed
on the free list, and ail farming im
plements and farm machinery have
been placed on the free list.
This is really the first tariff bill
that has ever been written in the in
terest of the whole people since
the Republican party was born.
It has been such a burden that
Hon. Oscar Underwood, Chair
man of the Ways and Means
Committee who has been render- j
ing his country a great service in
this bill has almost broken down I
under the strain of framing this bill.
Heretofore the Republicans have j
been the ones to frame the tariff
bill and “Mr. Steel Trust" being a
heavy contributor to the Republi
can campaign funds would be invi
ted to come in and write the Iron
Trust” and Steel schedule. "Mr. Su
gar beinganother heavy contributor
would come in and write the su
gar schedule, and so on down the
lHt and the whole tariff bill was
written by and in the interest of
those great concerns who were al
ways trying to skin the public.

MYSTERY IN A POCKET
By C. D. JAMES.
Usher one day not long ago shouted
upstairs to Mrs. Usher that he found
his watch was slow and that she had
just five minutes to make the train to
the golf club.
“Gracious!'' wailed Mrs. Usher back
at him, “1 never can—there's a thin
spot in the heel of my stocking right
above the edge of my low shoos and
it'll rub into a hole in no time. It's
silk—”
“Take along another pair!” order
ed Usher, gruffly. “You can change
out there and there won't be a soul
around and it's such a bully day—oh,
come along!” , \
Thereupon Mrs. Usher came along,
frantically struggling into a heavy
coat and stuffing hosiery and hand
kerchiefs into her husband's pockets.
"There!" she said, triumphantly,
when they bad^ played nine holes,
"Look at my stocking!" An unmistak
able hole showed above the line of
her low shoe. "What did 1 tell you?”
“You can change when we go in for
luncheon,” said Usher. “I left my
coat hanging up in that little hull just
outside the lunchroom—everything
else has been shut up for the winter."
Mrs. Usher found the coat. There
were two others next it. Only a few
hardy persons were playing golf in
the nipping air. After a while she re
appeared bearing in her hands a crum
pled ball of brown silk, the discarded
hosiery. Just as she reached her hand
toward the overcoat pocket Usher
called from the hall.
"Yes," she answered, “I'm coming!”
and hastily rammed home the hosiery.
Let it be said at this point that Ush
er’s coat hung very close to the next
one. The next one belonged to Hen
ning.
That evening as Henning settled
himself comfortably with the evening
paper there was a little choking sound
“Don't Look So Idiotic!”
in the hall and presently Mrs. Pen
ning stood tv fh’-n tragically hold
ing out something Brown.'
"rtuh?” asked Benning, peering at
the brown thing.
“What, may I ask," demanded hiB
wife, “are you doing with brown silk
stockings in your coat pocket, Arthur?
Kindly answer me that!"
She shook out the hosiery to its
full and incriminating length.
“Don’t look so idi&tic!” she cried
when she could stand the strain no
' longer *
“Why—why,” stammered Benning,
i “I don't Tinow a th-thing about them."
i Whereupon Mrs. Benning went into
hysterics and cried that Benning never
had loved^her anyway and what had
she ever done that such an awful thing
should blight her life?
"Darling,” cried the frantic Ben
ning, "let me explain!"
“Then explain!” blazed his wife.
"Good Lord!” groaned Benning. af
ter a wild instant. “1 can't! 1—”
"1 shall go home to mother,” an
nounced Mrs. Benning. “I shall tell
the janitor to bring up my trunks.”
The rest of that night Mrs. Benning
held her outraged head very high
while carrying things from the closets
and bureau drawers to trunks, Ben
ning alternately tagging after her,
piteously expostulating, or sunk in thg
biggest armchair in an attitude ex
pressive of complete weariness with
the world.
"1 know it sounds foolish,” he
moaned, "to say I don’t know how the
confounded things got there, but—”
"It certainly does!” Mrs. Benning
assured him, frostily. "I at least gave
you credit, for more imagination.”
It was just after Mrs. Benning had
telephoned for a taxi in the morning
that the phone rang and Benning
stumbled to it.
"Hello!" said Usher’s voice. “Say,
have you by any chance got my wife's
brown silk stockings in your overcoat
pocket—”
"Here! Hurry!” yelled Benning.
beckoning frantically to Mrs. Benning.
"Come and listen to this!”
“I don’t care!” said Mrs. Benning
some moments later, when the crying
and forgiving were over. “I never did
like that Mrs. Usher, anyhow! And
now, Arthur Benning, you can just set
to work and help me unpack,”—Chi
cago Daily News.

Advice About Reading.
Be sure, then, to read no mean
books, shun the spaw’n of the press in
the gossip of the hour. Do not read
what you shall learn, without asking,
in the street and the train. Doctor
Johnson said he “always went into
stately shops,’’ and good travelers
■stop at the best hotels; for though
they cost more they do not cost much
more, and there is the good company
and the best information. In like
manner the scholar knows that tUe
famed books contain, first and last,
the best thoughts and facts. . . .
The three practical rules, then, which
I have to offer aie: First, never
reed any book that is not a year old;
second, never read any but famed
books; third, never read any but
what you like.—Emerson.
Best Wishes in the World.
He was an author, but an author
without authority—which means,
using the vernacular of the street, his
stuff never got across. If his ability
had equaled his industry, he would
have had every novelist looking like
an idler.
On this particular morning he
walked into the office of a publisher
who had rejected two or three bales
of his manuscripts.
“Now, look here,” said the author,
“on the level, how cau I sell a good
book?”
The publisher’s advice was excel
lent. He said:
Write one.”—Popular Magazine.
No Mystery About It.
Travelers in Enrol*- are familiar
with the sign “English Spoken,” which
Is so often displayed in shop windows.
In a small town in the south of Ger
many a traveler noticed in the window
of a small shop the sign “Christian
Spoken.” He studied it for a moment
and. being of a religious turn, he con
cluded that he would step inside and
inquire about this new language. The
joke was on him. for he discovered
that the sign was none other than
^he name of the proprietor of the
shop.

A Cure for Chronic Constipation, Torpid Liver
and Irregular Bcwcl Movements.
Constipation Is the most common disorder of the bowels. It
affects both sexes and all ages but is more prevalent among
women because their duties in the household require less physical
exercise than the occupations of men; therefore women suffer
most from its baneful effect.
A constipated person is an easy victim when exposed to any
serious disease—1’neumonla, Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Rheumatism,
Small Pox, Yellow Fever and Rright's Disease gather their annual
harvest of death among those who are habitually constipated.
Even though they escape these dir. ases, such persons are alway3
oiling mere or less. They have headaches, bad digestion, dizzi
ness. virtigo (blind staggers), sallow complexion, flatulence, lost
cf strength; and no energy at all. Ilerbine has a most admirable
effect in the bowels; it is cooling, purifying and regulating. It
puts a prompt check on biliousness, wind In the bowels, nervous
ness, heartburn, bad breath, low spirits, drowsiness in the day
time and nervous wakefulness at night.
