THE McCOOK TRIBUNE
Norris to Talk on Coffee
Representative Norris of Nebraska
has for some weeks been at work on
a speech on the valorization of coffee
which he will likely deliver in the
house Wednesday
In this speech said Mr Norris
I will expose one of the most gigan
tic attempts to corner a commodity
that the world has ever seen It
involves not only individuals and
capital but even nations The valor
ization of coffee in plain unmistake
able anguage means nothing but the
attempt of the Brazilian government
aud some of the greatest financial
interests of the world to control the
price of coffee Because it will effect
every American household I will pro
pose in my speech a form of tariff
amendment to nullify this conspiracy
and m the event of this failing cer
tain extreme retaliatory measures tha
will force the nations involved to
deal fair to our American homes It
will certainly be an ill day when not
only moneyed individuals but even
nations shall subscribe to subtle
schemes of combinations which mean
great profits to a few and hardship
to the people
Representative Norris of Nebraska
will speak Wednesday night at an
anniversary dinner of the Odd Fel
lows to be given in Baltimore Bal
timcre is the original home of the Odd
Fellows and the sovereign grand
lodge will convene in that city to
celebrate the birth of the society

WASP WAIST CONTESTS
Curious Course of T aining In Old
Time Girls Schools
A letter recently unearthed from a
trunk shows that in the sixties of the
last century principals of girls schools
thought they were Uttiug the girls for
society by urging them to retain small
waists Accordingly they offered
prizes to the girls having the smallest
waists The girls were put through a
course of training for reducing their
waist measure The conditions of the
content were that the corset should
not be removed on retiring at night
and that each pupil must be inspected
every morning to make sure she had
not loosened her corset One of the
persons who engaged in the contest
afterward wrote of It
Some of us tried hard to be per
mitted to retire from the contest but
we were rebuked for stultifying our
selves and accused of making fools of
our principals On the following
morning the undergo vern ess with her
maid came as usual to superintend
the toilets and after satisfying her
self that each lace was drawn in to
the utmost she fastened it in a knot
at the top and passing the ends
through a piece of card placed hei
own seal on them so that any attempt
to loosen the corset during the night
might be infallibly detected In the
morning Detroit Free Press
WHITE DEER SKINS
They Passed About as Banknotes at
One Time In China
In China the first country in the
world credited with using banknotes
certain suius were so valuable that
they were accepted as cash and passed
from hand to hand In the same way
as banknotes are at the present day
The negotiability of these skins arose
thus
The Emperor Ou Ti being in want
of money gave his treasurer to under
stand that such a state of affairs
must not continue At that time it
was customary for princes and court
iers on entering the royal presence to
cover their faces with a piece of skin
Taking advantage of this custom the
treasurer ordered a decree to be Issued
forbidding the use of any other skins
for this purpose except those of a cer
tain white deer in the royal parks
Immediately there was a demand for
pieces of these skins which being a
monopoly were sold at a high price
and the royal coffers refilled The
steady value of the skins thus secured
Madrids Fearful Climate
Madrid is afflicted with the most
changeable climate of any European
capital The temperature varies from
as much as 107 degrees in the summer
to as little as 1G degrees in the win
ter and at all seasons of the year It
indulges in violent fluctuations It Is
by iio means uncommon in December
to wake up with the thermometer reg
istering about 20 degrees and to find
it mount to more than GO degrees by
the afternoon Some years ago an
oscillation of 37 degrees was registered
in one day No wonder therefore
that lung troubles are far more preva
lent in Madrid than in St Petersburg

How Music Affected Boswell
Boswell had a good deal more feel
ing for music than Dr Johnson and
suffered at his masters hands Once
In a moment of expansiveness he told
Johnson that music affected him to
such a degree as to agitate his nerves
most painfully producing alternative
sensations of pathetic dejection so
that he was ready to shed tears and
of daring resolution so that he was
Inclined to rush into the thickest of
the battle
Sir replied Johnson I should
never hear it at all If it made me such
a fool
