We are not these days hearing much talk’of tariff revision, or adjustment. Shortly after the election one might have been pardoned for thinking that the democrats had won, so outspoken were the people in their demand for lower tariff taxes. Many prominent republicans declared themselves favorable to reform, and it was intimated that the president would send in a special message dealing with the question Mr. Roosevelt was also supposed to favor the calling of a special session of congress this spring to revise the tariff. But gradually the stand patters gathered courage. Protests against any changes began to be heard. It was announced, appar-l ently on good authority, that there would be no special session, at least not before fall. And now, as we have said, little is being said about the tariff. All this does not, of course, mean that the standpatters have won their fight. But it does mean that republican tariff reformers are going to meet with the most strenuous opposition in their efforts to secure any reform that is at all worth while. —Indianapolis News.

“NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE”' i i When something is offered you for nothing look out for the ‘ NIGGER.” Some | stores advertise that they are throwing money ° way. Gold bricks are offered-also | “Help Yourself Sale,” etc., and other full page ? ks showing that stores are simply | run to sell goods below cost. Yet how many people believe this “Tomfoolery”? When wheat is worth 81 00 a bushel does the farmer advertise to sell it for 50c a 9 w bushel? When a man gets 32.00 a day for his labor does he advertise to work for /// Q| I 81.00 per day? When a merchant offers you an article marked 820 for 89.98 he LJ Ml f has it marked 810 too high. Is it not better to ask the right price for merchandise r / and sell everybody alike?

The surgeon said it must - come off. But by some means or other lie cut off the wrong leg.” “But J don't call that elever.” “Wait a bit. The surgeon said it would be terrible for the poor fellow to go about w ith no legs at all. so he doctored up the crushed leg instead of cutting that off. too. and now it is as good as ever. An ordinary surgeon would hare left the fellow legless. Wonderfully skillful, wasn't it?” How Bra Itmann Measure Time. The Brahmans' clocks divide the day into sixty limns of twenty-four minutes each, called ghurecs. Occasionally a twenty-four minute sand glass is used, but more commonly a copper bowl with a very small hole in the bottom of it. this bowl being placed on the surface of the water and gradually tilled. If the h >le in the bottom is correctly sized tlte bowl sinks in twentyfour minutes. This registers tlte duration of the ghuree. An attendant there upon empties the basin and strikes the hour of the day or night ou tlte gong.

■' ■■ ■ ■ < flow Jnvnue.e Settle Quarrel.. The Javanese manner of settling I quarrels is quite original. V i.en one ; inu:i hits offended another the iniureu | party gives notice that he is angry by drawing in the sand before the door of the offender a circle wit'i a gbt line across it, indicating that his affection, which would have lieen eternal, has been cut in two. Friends of, both parties then shut them up. Tliey parley awhile, then pretend to be born ■ again,prattle as little children and linal-1 ly as me!! become re-oneiled and em- ' I brace. Should one be refractory and refuse to be conciliated he is ostracized by the community so effectu; lly that! he is soon brought to terms. It is just possible that our enlightened citizens might consider this method better than knockdown arguments and certainly muc h cheaper than going to law.
