ICE TARIFF AND BUSINESS.
The country seems to be less af
fected commercially and industrial
ly by the prospects of a tariff re
duction than formerly when threat
ened with republican revision. One
of the principle reasons for the old
fright was that the manufacturers
knew that the republicans always
shaped their bills so as to confer
benefits on the large contributors
to republican campaign funds so
the honest manufacturer never
could tell how he would be dealt
with until the bill actually became
a law. In the present tariff bil
however, the whole country seems
to have an abiding faith in the judg
ment, honesty and patriotism of the
Democrats who will frame this
measure. Another fact, however,
is that it has been clearly demon
strated that every important in
dustry in this country can live ana
flourish without the slightest bit of
tariff protection.
CURRENCY REFORM.
As soon as the House passes the
Tariff Bill which will be done with
out delay the bill will then be sent
to the Senate where of course such
rapidity of action cannot be ex
pected and it will probably take six
ty days or more before the Senate
passes this bill. So during this
time the House of Representatives
will have to sit in idleness if they
do not take up other matters of
legislation, and it is quite certain
that they will make material chan
ges in our Currency Laws, which
will render the currency more elas
tic and more responsive to the
needs of commerce and business.
This subject has suffered immeas
ureably from neglect by congress
and is not regulated by such mod
ern methods as prevail in Great
Britian, France and Germany,
where panics have never been
known to occur in times of peace
and they should never occur here.
A small amount of statesmanship
can make great improvements in
our present antiquated currency
laws and it is believed that this will
be done before the special session •
adjourns.

SONNY WAS ON JOB
By EDNA FERBER.
In breezed Emma McChesney/ Her
iuick glance rested immediately upon
Meyers and the boy. And in that
moment some instinct prompted Jock
McChesney to shake his head, ever
to slightly, and assume a blankness
of expression. And Emma McChes
ney, with that shrewdness which has
made her one of the best salesmen on
the road, saw, and miraculously un
derstood.
“How do, Mrs. McChesney,” grin
ned Fat Ed Meyers. “You see, I beat
you to it.”
“So I see,” smiled Emma, cheerful
ly. ‘I was delayed. Just sold a nice
'ittle bit to Watkins down the street.”
-She seated herself across the way,
and kept her eyes on that closed door.
“Say, kid." Meyers began, in the
husky whisper of the fat man. “I’m
going to put you wise to something,
seeing you’re new to this game. See
bat lady over there?" He nodded dis
creetly in Emma MeOhesney's direc
tion.
“Pretty, Isn’t she?” said Jock, ap
preciatively.
“Know who she is?”
“Well—I—she does look familiar,
but-”
“Oh, come now, quit your bluffing.
If you’d ever met that dame you’d
remember it. Her name’s McChesney
—Emma McChesney. and she sells T.
A. Ruck’s featherloom petticoats.
I’ll give her her dues; she's the best
little salesman on the road. I'll bet
that girl could sell a ruffled, accordion
plaited underskirt to a fat woman
who was trying to reduce. She’s got
the darndest way with her. And at
that she’s straight, too.”
If Ed Meyers had not been gazing
so intently into his hat. trying at the
same time to look cherubically benign
he might have seen a quick and pain
ful scarlet sweep the face of the boy, ,
coupled with a certain tense look of I
the muscles aroand the jaw.
“Well, now. look here," he wrent on, j
still in a whisper. “We're both skirt |
men, you and me. Everything’s fair
in this game. Maybe you don’t know
it, but when there’s a bunch of the
boys waiting around to see the head
of the store like this, and there hap
pens to be a lady traveler in the
crowd, why, it's considered kind of a
professional courtesy to let the lady
have the first lookin. See?”
"I get you,” answered Jock.
“I say, this is business, and good
manners be hanged. When a woman
breaks into a man’s game like this,
let her take her chances like a man.
Ain’t that straight?”
“You've said something,” agreed j
Jock.
“Now, look here, kid. When that
door epens I get up. See? And shoot
straight for the old man's office. See?
Like a duck. See? Say, I may be fat,
kid, but I’m what they call light on
my feet, and when 1 see an order
getting away from me I can be so
fleet that I have Diana looking like
old Weston doing a stretch of muddy
country road in a coast-to-coast hike.
See? Now you help me out on this
and I’ll see that you don't suffer for
it. I'll stick in a good word for you, i
believe me. You take the word of an
old stager like me and yo»l won't go
far—"
The door opened. Simultaneously
three figures sprang into action. Jock
had the seat nearest the door. With
marvelous clumsiness he managed to
place himself in Ed Meyers’ path,
then reddened, began an apology,
stepped on both of Ed's feet, jabbed
his elbow into his stomach and
dropped hip hat. A second later the
door of old Sulzberg's private office
closed upon Emma McChesney’s
smart, erect, confident figure.—Amer
ican Magazine.
DEMAND FOR CURIOUS NAMES
While They Have No Commercial
Value, They Are Eagerly Sought
by "Collectors.”
The more unusual the name the more
valuable the signature. This is the
latest development of the autograph
collecting fad. No matter how cele
brated a particular Smith or Jones
may be, his autograph counts for little
as compared with that of some hum
ble person of extraordinary name.
To make a collection of these curi
ous signatures of vafue the address
and date must be wrlten on the card
with the autograph. Without these
vouchers no one could be blamed for .
doubting the authenticity of some of |
signatures in this type of autograph.
For instance, who would believe the 1
name "Turnipseod” ever existed un- ,
less Mr. Turnipseed's address was ;
plainly given as a voucher? Mr. 1
Toadvlne's identity would seem equal
ly impossible and Mr. Twelvotree
would be hardly less probable.
A collector of curious autographs
once he is on the track of a person
with an extraordinary name loses no
time in bagging his prey. The rare
specimen might leave his present ad
dress and this valuable addition to a
collection be lost. So the collector
sends a politely worded note, inclos
ing a blank card which fits neatly into
an addressed and stamped envelope.
He begs the favor of the autograph
and suggests that it be written as leg
ibly as possible.
MORE THAN MATTER OF WORC
Oratory, Though Simple to Those
Who Possess the Power, Has
Some Tricks as Well.
In answering an opponent, arrange
your ideas, but not your words: con
sider in what points things that re
semble differ, and in what those
things that differ resemble; reply tc
wit with gravity, and to gravity with
wit; make a full concession to your
adversary, and give him every credit
for those arguments you know you
can answer, and slur over all those
w'hieh you feel you cannot: but above
all, if he has the privilege of making
his reply, take special care that the
strongest thing you have to urge is
the last.
He must immediately got up and
say something, and if he be not ore
viously prepared with an answer tr
your last argument, he will infallibly
be boggled, for very few possess that
remarkable talent of Charles Fox, who
could talk on one thing and at the
same time think of another.
Home Dentist.
Iron is very injurious to the teeth
and cannot be easily removed with
a brush and clear water. It should
always be taken, when it is ordered,
through a glass tube. After taking it
the teeth should be rinsed with a so
lution of soda and water.
Massage of the gums does much to
prevent receding gums, which are
dreaded by every dentist as obstinate
things to correct. The massage can
be done at home, and should be done
daily; after the patient is in bed is
a good time. With the forefinger of
either hand he can rub the gums gent
ly and regularly up and down, back
ward and forward, for ten minutes or
a quarter of an hour.
If no toothbrush is at hand, the
teeth can be thoroughly cleansed, in
an emergency, with a piece of gauze
or a clean handkerchief dipped in wa
ter and soda or water and salt, and
rubbed thoroughly over the surface
of the teeth.
Upside Down.
He was glad to see, the postman
said, that persons who persist in writ
ing private and confidential communi
cations on the picture side of souvenir
postcards are gradually learning a lit
tle common sense.
“They are not yet wise enough,”
he said, “to refrain from penning priv
ate and confidential communications
on a card, but they have sense enough
to turn the card upside down before
writing. That brings the writing up
side down when people look at tne
picture, and those who do not wish
to read the message can admire the
card without being placed in the em
barrassing position of reading private
correspondence.”

The Sweet Young Thing entered the
department store, and after glancing
around In a helpless way for a few
moments approached a floor walker.
“What can we do for you, miss?"
asked the floor walker.
The Sweet Young Thing blushed
and then said:
“Where can I find those elastic
bands capable of being elongated and
put around the lower extremities
of the locomotive members to keep the
proper position and the required atti
tude for the habiliments of their
tibias?”
Ten minutes later strong men led
the floor walker away. He was a rav
ing maniac.—Cincinnati Kriqulrcr.

Division of Time of Slumber Prevent

by Overwork.
Two hours In bed in the early eve
ning is the latest health recipe for the
busy man whose day begins early in
the morning and lasts till late at night
The "treatment,” which consists
simply of going to bed from 5 till 7
o’clock, was described by a medical
man who prescribed it for a business
man whose manifold interests had
been compelling him to crow-d two
days' work into one, to the detriment
of his health.
”Mv patipnt now has two distinct
days and two distinct recuperation
periods every twenty-four hours,”
the doctor explained. “He begins
work with his secretary an hour be
fore most business men are think
ing of getting up in the morning. At
five o'clock in the afternoon his first
day’s work ends and he goes to bed
for two hours’ complete rest. At sev
en o’clock he is up again, bathes,
dresses and dines. He ts then fresh
for another four or five hours’ busi
ness or social duties. His two rest
periods combined give him almost
nine hours in bed. The ’patient’
gets through a greater amoynt of
work and enjoys better health.”
Justified His Opinion.
Alexander Pope was one of the first
Englishmen to decry the pun. It was,
he said, a species of wit so triflingly
easy that he would engage to make
one on any subject proposed off
hand.
“Well, then, Mr. Pope," said a wo
man in the company, “make one on
keel hauling."
Quick as a flash he replied, “That,
madame, is indeed putting a man un
der a hardship.”
Spence, who tells this anecdote,
deems it well to explain that “keel- ■
hauling is drawing a man under a
ship." He then falls into an ecstasy
of admiration. “What a ready inven
tlon must the man have had!" he I
cries. "One could hardly have found '
a more crabbed word to exercise the
punster's faculty."—The Sunday Maga
