FEELING THE TARIFF: Among business men nowadays we often hear it remarked that from this' time forth, for at least a twelvemonth, the country will feel the effect of the new tariff law as it has not felt it hitherto. Probably this is true. Obviously a tariff change the effects of which were entirely imperceptible would have been entirely useless. There is no reasonable doubt that r. majority of the people of this country had reached a firm conviction that the tariff was too high and had should be radically revised. Certainly they did not expect the revision to go further than to change some figures on the statute book. They expected it to have‘some effect on prices. Probably that effect is now beginning to be felt. Oddly enought the oldest complaints we have encountered come from the South, where steel men declare that English. German and Belgian bars and billets are coming in at prices they cannot meet. The Democratic answer is that, possessing such natural advantages as we do, if we cannot compete with English. German and Bel gian manufactures, after they have paid the freight, we had better shut up shop and buy our steel abroad More is made of the importations of corn from Argentina into the Missis sippi Valley, resulting in a consider able depression of the price of cereal at Chicago. Our corn crop in 1911 was twenty per cent, smaller than in the year before. As compared with the average of the three preceding years. It fell short about twelve pvt cent., and the average of the thr** preceding years was only about equa to Consumption. With a deficit 11 home production the price of core might have gone somewhat higher than it has. A greater number of im mature food animals might have beet rushed to market because the ownen would not buy the higher-priced con with which to feed them, which woult have resulted in a greater shortage a beef and mutton in the future ant still higher prices for meat; but cet tainly all that would have been nt economic gain to the country, import Ing some of Argentina's surplus con is a more rational and profitable ut rangement. And at tills writing cort at Chicago is fifteen per cent, highe than It was a year ago. Probably in the next twelvemoptl we shall feel some effects of the new tariff, but that is no condemnation o the acL On the contrary it was foi precisely that it was passed.— Batur day Evening Post.

Three hours after the trade, when the dope given the animal wore off, it was found to have the heaves. Mr. Jones immediately had the jockys traced up by a couple of motorcyclists who pursued them, tracing them to the bridge north of tills city where they had gone into camp. The man Wells, who had done the trading was not with his companions. They said they would not turn over the horses, unlees by process of law. Local officials were notified by the Alien county officials to help. Deputy Sheriff Jesse Kelley and other officials went out last night.and the horses were turned over to him, and they in turn gave them to Jones. Jones has filed a replevin case in Fort Wayne and this will be heard May 30. in the meantime. he has his own two horses, and the mare also, taken in trade. About two o'clock this morning, when Mr. Pond the livery man was returning here, he passed the jockeys driving their wagon and a team of horses east. Where they got the horses is unknown, as they had none with them, after the team was returned to Monroeville. Whether the trader will show up for the replevin suit is unknown. o EXCITING TIME 1 Mayor’s Court Scene of Activity Today From Saturday Night Fighting PLEAD NOT GUILTY Two Young Men From the Country Attacked When They Refused to Leave Saturday night was again turned I into a night of iistie encounters when several fights occured all of which were started by drunks.

SERVANTS OF OTHER DAYS. A Uniform Scheme That Failed » n Uglinese as an Asset. In IS6S the formation was nttemr I '- tn London of a longue of housewives pledged to engage only servants wn - would undertake to wear a uniform. In the preliminary manifesto it whs also proposed to prohibit servants B'" 11 wearing "superfluities, such ns flow.: feathers, brooches, buckles or clasps, earrings. lockets, neck ribbons and vc vets, kid gloves, sashes, jackets. Garibalclis. trimmings on dresses, crinolines or steel of any kind.” On her Sunday out a servant was to assume "a ne:v alpaca dress, linen collars and cm s. black apron, black shawl, straw ' net bound round with ribbons, thread or cotton gloves, small cotton umbrella to keep off the sun and rain." The costume was to be diversified in cold weather by a linsey dress and a sleep herd's plaid shawl. This extraordinary scheme found very few supporters am bad to be abandoned. Some bygone housewives appear to have regarded ugliness as a quality t 1 be desired in their servants. When Eliza Coke, daughter of Coke of Nor folk, wns about to marry alee wrote to her prospective uiotber-ln-law; I' 1 .' have the goodness to decide as you think l>est about the pretty housemaid 1 wish she were less pretty and less fond of dress, but if her conduct ami principles are good neither are really objwtlonable faults. 1 think our establishment will be a pattern of morality, particularly if Mr. Stanhope en gagee the squinting butler and the terrible housemaid be mentioned to me —Chicago News. VERY ANCIENT ART. Rude Painting* That Date Back to Prehistoric Times. Remains of prehistoric man which arc occasionally discovered seem to prove thnt there wns a knowledge of art even in the earliest time*. A Span uii Doblemau, Mareeliino de Eautuola. was industrially digging in a cave on Ids estate in search of prehistoric stone implements and bone*, while tils little daughter, who accompanied him. oc?npied herself in piny. She happened to look up nt the vaulted celliug overhead, and began to shout. ‘‘Toros! Toros!" in sueb excitement that her father paused to invest pite. Immediately be forgot bis search for stone implements. The little girl had discovered some very remarkable prehistoric paintings. The paintings were of the bteon. which the little girl mistook for bulls, ar toros. The colors were red. black and gray. The technique of the drawings and the proportions of the figure* were really good and the positions were very lifelike. In the cavern of Font de Gaume. France, paintings of mammoths, bison mid other animals bare been found, nnd most of them show a constdenble degree of skill. In the great caverns of Niaux, near Tarascon. France, half a mile from the entrance, the smooth polished walls arc covered with outline drawings of animals, drawn in oxide manganese mingled with grease, which gives permanent lithographic effect on the smooth limestone. "Rats" and Royalty. In “Random Recolltx-tlons," by It Caton Woodville. Is a story iu which King George iwhen Duke of York) fig ures. The duke was examining a new Mauser rifle of tb» latest pattern—tbe type then purchased by Kruger—which had been presented to Mr. Woodville:

“1 ■bowed him the rifle and its mechculsm and expremed an opinion that it wns superior to the Lee Metford and Ixe-Entleld rifit's 1 had a very talk ntive parrot which did not alwnyr use polite language.
