Hawley of Connecticut was never known to miss springing a joke, even if it happened to hit a frieid, and to s metimes hit hard. One rear Elizabeth Beecher Hooker was up for president of a well known Hartford society over which there was much local discussion. A lady friend meeting the senator on Asylum avenue one morning, asked the genial statesman how he thougnt Mrs. Hooker would run. “Very much like a duck, I suppose,” said Hawley, “but I hope, madam, I’ll not have to see her!” For more than a week the teacher had been giving lessons on the dog, and so when the inspector came down and chose that very subject there seemed every prospect of the class distinguishing itself on brilliant essays about our canine friend. Things were progressing satifactorily, and the master was congratulating himself on the trouble he had taken, when, alas! a question was asked which made him tremble for the reputation of his scholars. “Why does a dog hang his tongue out of his mouth?” asked the inspector. “Yes, my boy?” he said to a bright looking lad who held up his hand while the light of genius was in his eye. “Please, sir,” cried the pupil, “it’s to balance his tail.” And the teacher groaned in anguish.

THAW’S REAL TEST TODAY New York, April 3.—At 12:15 today the commission went into executive session for the purpose of examinigng Thaw privately This is his real test, being for the most part, physical. All his lawyers were excluded. FARMERS MUST PAY FREIGHT Rates Go Up and Prices of Grain Go Down. Farmers will be compelled to stand the advances which have been made in the freight rates by the railroads. This has been clearly shown by the sudden drop in the price of grain. The new rates went into effect April 1 and in order to meet the advances the grain prices have been dropped. The drop is a rather heavy one, ranging from two to four cents per hundred. There will probably be another slight drop in the near future as -it is thought the present price will not quite meet the advance in the rates which range from two to six cents per hundred. This change means that the farmer will hereafter receive two to four or six cents less per hundred weight for his grain that he has been previously paid. The farmers think it an Injustice on the part of the buyers to compel them to stand the extra charge, but there is no immediate remedy for the wrong. The railroads are making every effort possible to force a retrenchment of the popular uprising for a square deal. A few days ago a flurry was caused in railroad stocks on the board of change. This was sent broadcast over the country and many of those whose feet were pinched began to warn the people about a panic. The scare did not work and the last attempt is to raise the rates for shipping grain. The interestate commerce commission and railroad commission have splendid opportunities now to fix the shipping rates as the recent Hepburn bill gave them the power to do.
