Norris Spoke at Edgar
Edgar Neb Sept 15 G Wr
Norris addressed the eitizens of
Edgar and vicinity yesterday af
ternoon as a part of the booster
day program He opened his ad
dress as follows Reciprocity is
a beautiful -word and real recipro
city is just as beautiful but 1 do
not -want to be deceived The
present so called reciprocity act is
not reciprocity at all True he
said it puts -wheat corn barley
oats potatoes and ill vegetables
and fruit on the free list also
cattle etc if bought on foot The
list comprises all that the farmer
produces The farmer for al
lowing the Canadian agricultural
products to come into the United
States free of duty gets lumber
on the free list also barbed wire
The farmer is not benefited by
free lumber which is a delusion
and a snare Lumber to be ad
mitted free of duty must be un
dressed and rough If the lum
ber divsscd or plained ever so
littl it is subject to tariff

NORRIS MAY GAIN A PLACE
Washington Sept 19 Repre
sentative George W Norris of
Nebraska may be elected to mem
bership on the house committee
on rules as a result of death of
Representative Madison of Kan
death cuts the insurgent represen
tation on the committee in half
It is doubtful if the insurgents
will agree to have their represen
tation reduced and the opinion
was expressed today that Norris
would be put forward as a candi
date It was because of his fight
against the old rules in the last
congress that it is nowr possible
to elect members of the various
committees and the claim probab
ly will be made that his activity
ia that fight entitles him to mem
bership on the committee wliich
deals with the rules which ho

Barber wire he admitted was
also to be imported free from
Canada but Canada does not
make barbed wire and in his
opinion it would have benefited
the farmers just as much to have
made icebergs free of duty lie
explained that the treaty would
injure the farmers Wheat he
said in the United States was
not governed by the market price
of wheat in Liverpool and he
read from statistical tables show
ing that the price of wheat in
Chicago tliroughout 1909 1910
and 1911 kept close to the price
in Liverpool sometimes only a
l cent or two lower and sometimes
higher than the Liverpool market
and that the great volume of Can
ada wheat raised on the cheap
lands of Canada would force the
price of wheat down in the Unit
ed States from 12 to 17 cents per
bushel lie believed in real re-
eiprocity and if the American
farmer was deprived of protection

The Cedars of Lebanon
Very carefully inclosed and guarded
are the 200 remaining cedars of Leb
anon those famous trees that once
clothed all the sides of the Syrian
mountains So tall and beautiful were
they in comparison -with the trees of
Talestine that the Hebrew -writers cel
ebrated them with extraordinary
praise and from the earliest times
their soft white wood was the glory
of Jewish architecture They were
used in Solomons temple and in its
successor and also in the church that
Constantine built at Jerusalem
The surviving trees are called by the
Arabs the trees of God and under
their widespreading branches the cler
gy of the Greek church occasionally
celebrate mass
Several of the trees in the grove are
over 1500 years old and have a height
of 100 feet and a circumference of 50
In appearance they more resemble the
aged larch or the majestic oak than
the cedar that is known in America
Harpers Weekly
A Clause In Napoleons Will
Peter the Great is said to have made
a will in which he exhorted his heirs
to approach as nearly as possible to
Constantinople and toward India but
the authenticity of this document has
been disputed and it is shrewdly sus
pected to have been forged late in the
eighteenth century by August von
Kotzebue
Of the genuineness however of the
last -will and testament of jpoleon I
there can be no manner of doubt One
of its clauses was as vindictive as the
testamentary injunction of Queen Aus
trigilda to her husband to have her
two doctors killed and buried -with her

Cantillon was duly paid his legacy

Thackerays Disfigured Noso
The usual account of how Thack
eray was disfigured says that Venables
broke the novelists nose in a fair
fight John Ward in Notes and Que
ries supplies another version About
a year after Thackerays death Mr
Ward was traveling on one of the
main railways and had as companions
two old ladies who knew Thackeray
well One of them said the novelist
had toW them this story
Being one of the youngest pupils
at Charterhouse he was chosen by
one of the older lads a rather proud
aristocrat in his way to act as his
fag Thackeray bore It as well ashe
could but demurred to some more ar
bitrary command than usual and flatly
refused to obey -whereupon the young
aristocrat caught Thackeray up held
his head under his arm and -with the
heel of his boot used as a hammer
beat the beautiful aquiline nose quite
flat with his face in fact breaking
and injuring its structure completely
the excuse being Youll clean my
boots next time sir
Before his injury Thackeray was
the same authority says remarkably
handsome Westminster Gazette
