Minority Leader Ask* RepubHaana to Join in Aiding President. -Washington dispatch: The debate In the house again centered on the question of railway legislation and was remarkable for two things. The first was when Mr. Williams, leader of the Democratic side, pledged the support of his party, "without addi­ tion or subtraction, to the recom­ mendations of President Roosevelt in his recent message" and called upon the Republicans to help. "We shall toe-mark the president's tracks on this subject," declared Mr Williams amid general applause, "and (facing the Republicans) we call on you as American citizens to help us toe-mark them." The second surprise came when Mr, Mann of Illinois placed all the respons­ ibility for the Hepburn bill on Mr. Hepburn's shoulders, saying that it was solely the product of the Hepburn brain. This was followed by an at­ tack on this bill by Mr. Bell of Cali­ fornia, who expressed the hope that . Hepburn would prove that there was nothing sinister in. its language.

In a small town in the interior of Pennsylvania the old-fashioned coach is still used as a vehicle of transporta­ tion. The town Is situated several miles from the nearest railroad sta­ tion, and visitors are* compelled to ride from the station to the town in a ramshackle coach pulled by a horse of old vintage. Frequently the coach was overcrowded and the horse often had a difficult time pulling the load up a certain long and steep hill. The driver and owner, a typical back­ woodsman, was sometimes compelled to resort to strategem in order to land his passengers sately in the town. On one occasion the coach was par­ ticularly crowded, and the horse was bravely tugging the filled vehicle up the hill. Every once in a while the driver would stop the horse, go to the bsck of the coach, open the door, slam it shut, and then start the horse. This method of procedure aroused the curi­ osity of the passengers, and when the top of the hill was reached, one of them turned to the driver:* "Will you tell me, please," he said, "why you1 stopped the coach ahd opened the back door so often on the hill?" - "Wa-al," drawled the driver, "yer see, that were a purty big hill, and ther horse had a purty big load. Every time I slammed ther door ther horse likely thought some one was gittln' out, and it give him confi­ dence." COL. BECKWITH SAYS: "I Take Pleasure in Commending Pe-ru-na For ^ ; Coughs and Colds." s Fashions in Suicide. Baron Suyematsu mentions in his article in the Nineteenth Century that, while Japanese ladies never committed hari kari, the honorable equivalent was death by a stab in the neck from her own dirk, a weapon which she generally carried in her girdle to be used in time of need. Where a Roman dame would in an­ cient. times have plunged her dagger into her own heart, a Japanese hero­ ine preferred to thrust the weapon into her neck, and there is no record oi either male or female in Japan ending existence in the fashion that is so often depicted in western novels, and less frequently, perhaps, in real life. . ~ • . „ * Says Mayor Is Paid Too Much. - Dennis Mulvihill, who three years ago, from a stoker in an east side shoe factory, became mayor of Bridgeport, Conn., has had a bill prepared for presentation to. the legislature how in session, providing for the reduction of his salary by one-third.
