IN the first place, they were both elderly, oter-minded. dignified people, there was no possible reason why anyone should be inspired to play ridiculous tricks on them when they finally .ded after 20 years of waiting to f t marrb-d and go east on a long wed i : t rip. I homas Carr was f2. a deacon In th-? I : i church at home, and a business nan f standing and reputation, whose froH side whiskers were more likely t .: i i r res pe( i and av.e than levity. Sarah Anderson, his bride, owned to . n than 4 suniui' rs ami po-scsed a i and erene disposition-which Itter fact proved, alter all. a great I -ing. Th n tney took care to s I that no MB was Invited to the wedding who r -lit have been moved to do anything f llth in He- w ay of i hrowing old shoes or me after the bridal party. And ThoBUM Carr. with a craft and guile which hurt his conscience, concealed the route they were to take and the hotel t w ere to stop at in Chicago at least fc though he did No, indeed: There should be no fool1 1 Bag about their wedding trip. They re too old to be stared and laughed On the train to Chicago they sat in the same feat, but Sarah looked out the w indow. while her new ly made husband r i i 'he morning phjkt, w ith hardly a glance in her direction. As a matter of fact. 1 played tb part of an uninf n ited escort too well to suit the bride, w ho, after all. was a woman. t n arriving in the city, they took th common 'bus and were driven over to tha Sherman house. where Thorax role ".Vi-.fnd Mrs Thon a- 'arr.

" She did the pu.l liug up carefully, plate and all, in the tgjkMtl papers which had originally awatbed it, while her husband went down to pay his bill and arrange for taking taTSSta tram for the east. When they sot luto the cab to drive to the fetation she carried it on her lap On Ike way a bright Idea sc-'i-rd her. "Thomas," slo -aid "we ll leave this

When they got to tin- railroad station there were two solicitous porters waltiug at the entrance to as. .t passenger, but Sarah align;- 1 to git 1 ho mas and tbeutln'i 1 . u ii . l : . .- . in safety and then stepped down herself, leaving the pudding lying safely on the seat ol the cab. S o caught Thomas going down the steps aud whispered to hi to that she had got rid of the incubus. "Lady, lady." a voice sounded behind her just then. ' Vou've fogot somet hing." It was the other porttr. and in hia hand he- bore the devoted pudding, lie came running down after her and handed over the pac kage w itb asmlle so compelling that Sarah felt forced to ask Thomas for a dime with which to rew ard him. ' "Never mind." she said, "we'll get rid of it on the train, all right " Her husband nodded his head. "Lets drop it out of the window." she suggested, with a sudden burst of inspiration, after they had foiuid their seats in the sleeper. That seemed a good idea to Thomas, but. unfortunately, the train was one of the latest vestlhuled arra!ig-ments, with not an unguarded opening from one end to the other. Thomas wrestled In vain with a window, and when the porter was api-ea! d to for assistance he raised the window, indeed, but it was protected by a screen which prevented the egress oi anything more substantial than a hairpin. Hesides, it was cold outside, and both Thomas and Sarah were praaasttf shivering In the draughts of icy air which swept in on them. They were both re- !: rs4 when a red fa ed man across the a. leaned over and said in an injured tone: "Say. my baby isn't well, and I wish you'd put that w indow dowu." The porter came and lowered the Window with a look on his face that seemed to indicate that the two passengers on that seat were men'ally unsouud. la the morning after the berths were made up. Sarah shoved the rice pudding out ol riht under the back of one of the beats. Now. she was sure, they would get away from it in safety. They got off at the station, the negro porter assisting Thomas felt so good at noticing the ahs :. I of the pudding that he gave the man m cents. They climbed into a cab and wan half a block away when their ears were saluted with shrill cries from the rear. The cab came to a stop at the Bide of the btrcet. - "Heah s a package you lef undah the seat, sab." said the negro r nrter. sticking his head into the open door of the cab. "I done run 't will Ah m out uv breef a-catchiu' up to you sub." Thomas groaned, took the loathsome thing in his right hand and handed the porter a quarter with the other. ' Oh. don't. Thomas.' his w ife pleaded. "If you do. we'll be arretsed for littering the streets. I'm sure." "Do you expect me 1 0 arry a rice pudrU&g about on my lap during th" whole of our wedding trip, madam?" he demanded, with dignity. ' Just wait trti we get to the hotel, dear," she said. "I'll get rid of it, somehow." For more than a week the unfortunate couple were haunted by that rice pudding. A dozn times they thought they had got rid or it. only to have some porter or other messenger come running after thi m. panting and out of breath, to restore the treasure and collect his fee for thoughtfulnt?s. Once they tried to feed it to a dog. but the animal turned up his nose at rice and almost bit Thomas, who was trying to force it to cat. They left It in their room In a hotel, and the boy w ho carried down their bags brought that also, with the remark: "1 found dis on de top shelf in de room, m'um Once I found a man's laundry

up dere an' he give me half a dollar." Finally they and the pudding, by this time riding their necks like s Nemesis, came to a little inn In the old Connectli tit town where Thomas bad been born and reared. One side of their room was occupied by an old-far hloned brick fireplace. The chimney as old and there were big cracks between the bricks. Now." said Sarah, 'I'm going to get rid of It." She crumbled the pad ling lnt. tiny flakes of rice, her hu-' ;:r 1 sitting by hopelessly. Then she put a chair lno the fireplace opening an I clirnl ed up on it. A handful at a time he stuffed that pudding Into the cracks between the bricks on the Inside of the chimney. "Perhaps." said Sarah In n she waa through, "ferhaps the chimney swallows will find It."

Indiffsience of the Chief Executive to the Cieator of His Power. The president's attempt to secure for himself the powr to negotiate arbitration agreements without the consent of the senate, the anion of the government's a' atS in the matter of the recent protocol with Santo Domingo, and now the effort of Mr Roowvalt to establish a protectorate over Santo Domingo without the cooperation of the senate and in the face of the refusal of the f nate to ratify the treaty which was designed to accomplish that n-sult, have all combined to direct attention once more to the president's rather unconventional way of doing things, says the Indianapolis News During the late rampaign we had many stories of the overruling of the decisions of th" board of appraisers In customs cases and even of the refusal of the treasury deportment to carry Into effect the decisions of the courts. And now another case of the same sort has been brought to light. A short time ago President Roosevelt appointed a Itoanl of architects to dlrec. the location of the new public buildings In Washington, the members to serve without pay. Later it was discovered that th law prohibits the employment bf th government of anyone without compensation. Then it arai announced that the architects would receive $U' a day and expenseBut the attorney general advised that this could not be done, and that the president had no right or power to

treat eosSSSlnslODS and offices for w hich provb am had uot been madf by congress. This, of eourse. Is a small matter, but It serves o show once more ho-v prone the president Is to travel ahead of the law. He saw. nnd he was plainly fight, that there eight tr be fuch n commission : that the work was one that BOOM! be properly done only by architects, and h Ml that no harm could come of 'oing tlf thine that Ottghl to be done There was no QKMgtrl in bis mind of acting Illegally or feStfa-tSgaJljr. What he wasted was to get the thing done and to get It rightly done. In his absorption In th" fnd he altogether overlooked th nutans And this i-; entirely natural to a man of his temperament The disposition b OBS whieh is not to he severely condemned. For the law is often a rest taint from right action as well as a prohibition of wrong action. And yet tb president derives all the power that he ha from th" law and there is nothing that he can do or Mould do fgoapl hf authority o." the law The authority which creates his nfhVe and gives him the only power that he ha ought to Ire . rupulottsly respe. fed by him. and its limitation e'lioiild be sacredly obs rved It seems to it. that th?s Is spe ially Important In the case g President RooaQVStt Important If for no other reason than thai every doubtfrd act of his Mlfag to strencthen the fnat". a'id to put th" president in the wrmg in his rela IJOfl to it. Those who felt b und to criticise the late irbtttaUoa treaty were extremely reluctnn to do ho. for uch criticism seemed U! uphold nnd

iustify the senate in i;s srencral attl tude toward treaties. If we are. BJ many believe, to have a direct issue betv. een the president nnd the SHMl . it is greatly to be desired that tit" president shall put himself in the iliuagaol poaaihta aaatthas. This ho cannot do if h pers.sts in his policy, at least, of seeming to regard the lawns an obstae to be pot out of the way. or to be got round. For though people may applaud him when they npprove the end that the president has In view, they will, nevertheless, in time come to distrust him. and to deaULBd that he hS held with special strict BOM to an observance of lceal limitations.

jhe failure of the S;m I omingo treaty is likely to Bttah the Europ.an diplomats doubt our -Inccrlty In supposing the Monroe AOCtrtSa. Without the i'nitcd States as a debt -collecting ngeni . Kuropean creditors or American republics will be In a quandary and the old disturbances will be intermittent with the Monroe doctrine hanglnu om r bead as a warning. H is m r than likely that the Hoosevelt ixdlcy would be good for the i redltor nations and equallygood for the debtor nations but It would be a source of annoyance and trouble to th- rnltad State.-Ietrolt Free Fran (lnU).

Little Probability of Any Revision Which Will Be of Benefit to the People.

The senate, it will be remembered, 1 authorized an inquiry by one of its com- , mittees into the question of revenue, htach good may be SOCOflapltshed by thij inquiry, provided it be conducted In th right spirit. It is not. however, well to expect too much from a committee presided over by Senator Al irich. says the Indianaixdis News (Ind.). We know that, he is often spoken of as a tariff expert, and so he is in one sense, lie knows how to get what he wants in the way of protection for those whos interest.he has at bean. That he will control th" committee may be taken lor granted for does he not control the senate? In a raoaal interview S nator Allison, the second member of the committee, sai 1 that nothing would be done till Aldricb returned from Kurone. This may be simply the manifestation of a proper courtesy to the head of the committee At any rate the delay will not be long, for Aidrich is expected home May L But we are not sanguine of any Important results from a committee that will be dominated by Aldrich. He is a corporation man and nothing else. He looks on the taxing power of the government as something which private Individuals ought to be allowed to use foi their own benefit. H; has no MMMM tlon of governm nt as a great puhltc business, to be conducted solely in the interest of the public, and without a thought of private Interests. To him the "pull" is a legitimate influence in politics. He is a tariff expert in the sense that he knows how to trade one1nt rest against another, how to get tariff favors fot manufacturers, and how far it is safe to go in this business cf dispensing charity, nut as a statesman and m DM mist we do not think he is to be high!) esteemed. As long as the senate is constituted at r i - g1 ; ; asBl we do not look for any rev tatoa el 'be tariff that will greatly beniit ill people. But It may be that the senate committee will unconsciously give to the public some important and greatly nee. rj information. We arf sure that an honest investigation would show that t h re are few Industrial in the ountry thai, even from the protect ionist point of view, need any protection at all. It would appear that other Indus tries are protected far beyond thclf needs And the inquiry would fur heshow ;ha: as a n .-u:t. th" revenue of the ernmcr.l cuffem very greatly. We lould Bjrattlf Increase the revenue, stimulate trale ar.d commerce. b neht many manufacturers, reduce pricrs, and at the same time give all needed protec1 1 "ii h) cutting many of oar present exorbitant duties in two. We believe thai a lair lr.vcs' Ration. 0M conducted without any purpose to make out a case, would make all this abundantly char. Hut mch an Investigation we an- BQt, we fear, likely to get from the senatj committee. Senator Aldrich will go into the work with the da that as little.

There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in making the three different varieties of baking powders on the market, viz: tl) Mineral Acid or Alum. 2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and (") Cream of Tartar made from grapes. It is important, from the standisint of health, to knowsomething about these ingredients, and which kinu is used in your baking pow der. (1) M du ml-A' i't, or Alum. Is mad from a kind of ( lay. This is mixed will diluted oil of vitriol and from thi solution a product is obtained which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two cents a piiund. and baking powder made with this Mineral-Acid sells from 10 to 25c. a pound. IL') ffcaS SrieT, or Phosphate, is the basis of phosphate baking powder? and the process is fully described in the patents issued to a larne manufacturer of a phosphate powder. The U S. Patent Office Heport gives a full and exact description, but the following extract Is enough: "Burned bones, after being ground, are put Into freshly diluted oil of vitriol anil with continual stirring and in the following proportion," etc. From this Bona At Id phosphate baking powders are made; such powders' sell from 'J" to H cents a pound. (S) I reaM f T'trtnr exists In all rlnn grapes, and flows with the Juice from the press in the manufacture of wine. After the wine is drawn off the tartar is scraped from the cask, boiled with water, and crystals of Cream of Tartar, white and very pure, separate and are collected. It differs in no respect from the form In which It originally existed In the grape. Cream of Tartar, then, while the most expensive, is the only Ingredient that should be used in a baking powder to act upon the soda, as its w holesomeness is beyond M -tion. Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at about 4i to 50 cents a pound. Su. Ii are the facts, and every one. careful of th"; lc tilth of the family, should remember this role: -Baking

powders selling from It to M eSOtS a pound are mad" of Mineral-Adda; those selling from 20 to Co cents of liono-Aiid; ar.d those from to to 5J cents of Cream of Tartar made from grapes. LUtb LOWER ORDERS
