A bill to this effect
was Introduced not long ago by Kepre
senlative Sabath also of Chicago and
in speaking on it Mr McGavin said he
wondered if the pioneers of the coun
try did not turn over in their graves at
the spectacle of so many of the wom
en of this country sacrilicing their
souls and honor on the altar of snob
bery and vice The house at the
time was in committee of the whole
on the stat of the Union and Mr Mc
Gavin thought it was opportune to in
quire into the general tendency to
ward unions Finding that the bill
of Representative Sabath had been re
ferred to the committee on ways and
means because it proposed to levy a
tax Mr McGavin continued
I was curious to know whether the
present tariff schedules Included dukes
earls lords and counts and finding that
these things were nowhere mentioned I
thought that it might be proper for the
customs ofilrer to classify them like frogs
legs or as poultry for it is the general
opinion among Americans that they are
a species of geese
We upon this side of the house have in
recent years referred triumphantly to the
tact that as between this and other nations
the balance of trade was in our favor
but nowhere In the summary can be found
a reference to such trades as these where
3oiled and frayed nobility is exchanged

Srom the lambs of Wall street with a wo
man thrown In to boot
There was a time when wealthy Amer
icans traveling in Europe were contented
with buyius ostly fabrics and paintings
by old masters of whom they knew noth
ing but now they want something even
more costly but less valuable So when
the wealthy girls traveling with their par
ents abroad see some remnant of royalty
they enthusiastically exclaim Oh mam
aia buy me that An interpreter is ob
tained the bargain is made and the
money is produced and the gill is gone

STATUE Or XATHJLN HALE BY irVCirONXIE3
of the famous institution of learning
at New Haven lie had the diploma
of his alma mater with him on that
fateful journey within the enemys
lines on Lonr Island which ended in
his capture by the British and his exe
cution under a warrant by General
Howe on Sept 22 177G Near the
3cene of his execution in City Hall
park New York a statue of Hale by
Frederick MacMonnies now stands
Upon the pedestal are engraved the im
mortal words spoken by him as the
hangmans noose was about to be ad
justed to hs neck I only regret that
I have but one life to give for my
country
Yale men have long felt that there
should be a statue upon the college
grounds of an alumnus who did such
honor to his alma mater hence the
movement resulting in the execution
of this work Mr Partridge has stud
led the subject for ten years and has
written a book about the character of
Hale and the story of his great
Representative Charles McGavin

ENGLISH RED TAPE
War Office Methods and the Test of a
Mountain Gun
The story that a gun of marvelous
possibilities invented in England may
be sold abroad owing to the apathy of
the powers that be Is not altogether
surprising
Whitworth refused Napoleon IIIs
offer of 0000 a year for life to go to
Paris and manufacture his cannon for
the French army but perhaps our war
office was not so faddy then as now
Some little time ago a new gun for
hill lighting was offered and was sent
out to India to be tried It was drag
ged up steep hills rushed down rocky
defiles left for a week at a time in
mountain torrents in fact submitted
to all the tests which a veteran officer
accustomed to war with the hill tribes
could suggest
The report was satisfactory in every
respect but a war office genius bland
ly asked if the gun had been dropped
down a precipice It had not
The war office was horrified and
amazed at the neglect of so elementary
a test The gun was now dropped down
a precipice with the inevitable result
its internals were irremediably dam
aged
How was it possible the war office
asked to accept such a weapon V And
the army of India was left to potter
along with obsolete weapons because
this new arm would not stand impos
sible tests London Sketch
AWAY BELOW ZERO
The Awful Cold That Comes With
Eirhty Degrees of Frost
It is difficult to form any conception
of the degree of cold represented by 80
degrees of frost that at times prevails
in certain parts of Russia Sir Leopold
McClintock tells us how in one of his
arctic expeditions a sailor was foolish
enough to do some outdoor work at
precisely this temperature nis hands
froze and when he rushed into the
cabin and plunged one of them into a
basin of water so cold was the hand
that the water was instantly converted
into a block of ice
At 2 degrees Dr Kane says the
mustache and underlip form pendu
lous beads of dangling ice Tut out
your tongue and it instantly freezes to
this icy crusting Your chin has a
trick of freezing to your upper jaw by
the happy aid of your beard My eyes
have often been so glued as to show
that even a wink was unsafe
During a theatrical performance giv
en by the crew of his ship at an inside
temperature of SO degrees the con
densation was so excessive that we
could barely see the performers Their
hands steamed When an excited Thes
pian took off his coat it smoked like a
dish of potatoes Any extra vehemence
of delivery was accompanied by vol
umes of smoke Pearsons Weekly

The Order cf St Patrick
The most illustrious Order of St
Patrick dates only from 17S3 says a
London writer when it was founded
by George III and is not to be com
pared in age with the most ancient
and most noble Order of the Thistle
which dating from a remote antiquity
was revived by James II in 1GS7 The
curious thing about the bands or rib
bons of these two orders is that St
Patricks is blue of the hue that may
be seen in the hackles or plumes In
the bearskins of the Irish guards
though it suggests the blue bells of
Scotland while the sash of the thistle
is a dark green suggestive of Erins
verdant isle On state ceremonies
these two orders are frequently con
founded

the Easter Lid
My Miiit
Where did she et that hat
Who ever did
Iiuent a lndyb lid
Like Unit
Who had the neno to roll it out
And stretch it more and more
From cei t3rpiece to rim until
It spreads from shore to shore
And likewise lifts its summit up
On birds and other wings
Above the earth until it scrapes
The clouds and other things
Who added to the wondrous width
Of brim so that the space
Could easily accommodate
An automobile race
Say who done that
Who built her hat
Who made it something never seen
On earth or in the sky
A flat of wide extended plain
A mountain towering high
Cut wider doors for her to get
Inside of any place
And put tite ceiling on the roof
To give her nodding space
Push up the clouds to let her stand
Erect upon the ground
And shoe the wide horizon back
To let her turn around
Oh weirdly witching woozy hat
That flattens out and towers
Who over saw a tiling like than
A pancake piled with flower
A hat contagious spreading ies
That names the Merry Wid
And she who fails to catch it should
Slip out and change her lid
Gee whiz
What a wonder woman is
And my scat
Where DID she get that hat
