that they werff able to get everything
Into one wagon and even the chick-
ens weru so used to being moved that
whenever they saw the wagon sheets
brought out they 'laid themselves on
their backs and crossed their legs
ready to bo tied. Tho British review-
er with an Insular sense of humor
remarked: "One feels a little as
though something must have been ac-
cidentally left out or this and or many
other stories In tho hook."

WILSON SUBMITS
FIRST MESSAGE
Congress in Extra Session Is'
Toid What President Ex-
pects Done
DOCUMENT UNUSUALLY BRIEF
Tariff Schedules Says Chief Execu-
tive Must Be Altered to Conform
With Modern Conditions Ac-
cording to Party's Pledge.
Washington April 8. In his first
tneBsago to congress a document of
unusual brevity President Wilson to-
day told the senate and houso what
he and tho country expect In the way
bf revision of tho tariff the tusk for
which mulnly thu extraordinary ses-
sion was called. Following la the
text of the messago:
To tho Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: 1 have called the congress together
In extraordinary session because a
duty was laid upon tho purty now In
power at the recent elections which It
ought to perform promptly In order
that tho burden carried by the people
under existing law may be lightened
as soon as possible and In order also
that the business Interests or tho
country may not bp kept too long In
BUspeiiBe as to what the fiscal changes
aro to bo to which thoy will bo re-
quired to adjust themsolveB. It Is clear
to the wholo country that the tariff
duties must bo altered. They must
be changed to meet the radical altera-
tion In tho conditions of our ecnomlo
life which the country has witnessed
within the last generation.
While the whole face and mothod of
our Industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni-
tion the tariff schedules have re-
mained what they were before tho
change begun or have moved in the
direction they were given when no
large circumstance ot our Industrial
development was what It Is toduy.
Our task Is to square them with the
actual facts. The sooner that la done
tho sooner wo shall escape from Buf-
fering from the facte and the sooner
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the Jaw ot nature (the na-
ture of free business) Instead ot by
the law of legislation and artificial ar-
rangement. Business Not Normal.
We have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield In our day
very far Indeed from the field In which
our prosperity might have had a nor-
mul growth and stimulation. No one
who looks the facts squarely in the
face or knows anything that lies bo-
4-neath the surface or action can fall to
perceive the principles upon whlcb
recent tariff legislation has been
based. Wo long ago passed beyond
the modest notion ot "protecting" the
Industries of tho country and moved
boldly forward to the Idea that they
were entitled to tho direct patronage
ot the government. For a long time
a time bo long that the men now active
In public policy hardly remember the
conditions that preceded It we have
Bought iu our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro-
ducers what thoy themselves thought
that they needed in order to
maintain a practically exclusive
market ss against the rest of the
world. Consciously or unconsciously
we have bull) up a set of privileges
and exemptions from competition be-
hind which It was easy by any even
the crudest forms or combination to
organize monopoly; until at last noth-
ing Ib normal nothing Is obliged to
stand the tests of efficiency and econ-
omy In our world of big business but
everything thrives by concerted ar-
rangement. Only new principles of
action will save us from a final "hard
crystallization of monopoly and a
complete less of the influences that
quicken enterprise and keep Inde-
pendent energy alive.
It Is plain what thoso principles
must be. We must abolish everything
that bears even the semblance of priv-
ilege or of any kind of artificial ad-
vantage and put our msIncBs men
and producers under the stimulation
of a constant necessity to bo efficient
economical and enterprising musters
of competitive supremacy better
workers and merchants than any In
the world. Aside from the duties laid
upon articles which we do not and
probably cannot produce therefore
and the duties laid upon luxuries and
merely for the sake of the revenues
they yield the object of the tariff du-
ties henceforth laid must be effective
competition the whetting of Ameri-
can wits by contest with the wits of
the rest of the world.
Development Nat Revolution.
It would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong with reckless
haste or with strokes that cut at the
I very roots of what has grown up
amongst us by long process and at
our own Invitation. It does not altar
a thing to upst It and break It and
deprive It 6f a chance to change. It
destroys it We must make changes
In our fiscal laws In our fiscal system
whose object Is development a more
free and wholesome development not
revolution or upset or contusion. We
must build up trado especially for-
elgn trade. We need the outlet and
the enlarged field of energy more
than we ever did before. We must
build up Industry as well and mutt
adopt freedom In the place of arti-
ficial stimulation only so far aa It will
build not pull down. In dealing with
the tariff the method by which this
may be done will be a matter of judg-
ment exercised Item by Item.
To some not accustomed to tbo ex-
citements and responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may In
some respects and at somo points
Beem heroic but remedies may be
heroic and yet bo remedies. It Is our
business to make suro that they are
genuine remedies. Our object Is clear.
If our niotlvo Is above juBt challenge
and only an occasional error of judg-
ment Ib chargeablu against us wo
shall be fortunate.
We aro called upon to render the
country a groat service In more mat-
ters than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough as thorough as moderate
and well considered based upon the
facts as they are and not worked out
as If wo were beginners. We aro to
deal with tho facts of our own day
with tho facts ot no other and to
mako laws which square with those
facts. It is best Indeed It 1b neceB-
sary to begin witn mo inrin. i win
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening or your besslon which can ob-
scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later tlmo 1 may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re-
fotiim which" should press close upon
the heels ot the tariff changes It not
accompany them of which the chief
Is the reform of our banking and cur-
rency laws; but just now I refrain.
For the present I put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing of the changes In our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros-
perity to a great people whom we
would servo to the utmost and
throughout both rank and file.

PULLED THE POETRY STUFF
Actor Doing a Double In an Emer
gency Follows Instructions of
Stage Manager.
William Gllotto in the course of uu
address niado to tho graduates of the
American Academy ot Dramatic Arts
at the Emplro theater told a story.
"When I was In Booth's company
years ago" tho actor said "wo had to
be un in many parts. Frequently the
actors would have to double In a per-
formance when the roles outnumbered
the people. I remember one time we
wero playing 'Hamlet.' When the time
camo In the players' scene for the
man to poison the king ft was found
that the particular actor selected for
the part was on the stage in another
role.
"Immediately the stage munager
grabbed an actor who was getting
ready to continue in another role.
The actor wbb wrapped In a big man-
tle handed a bottle and told to hurry
on the stage and do the poisoning. No-
body would recognise him said the
stage manager.
"'Hut' protested the actor 'what
are my lines?'
"'Oh you know' replied the stage
manager.
" 'That poetry stuff V
"'Sure!'
" 'All right' said tho actor. Then he
strode on the stage with his bottle
and bending over the king said:
'"Nobody here nobody near!
"'I'll pour the poison In his earl"
Frowned on Innovation.
Montrose Scotland Is to be an avia-
tion station and the appearance of
flying machines there Is enough ac-
cording to the London Chronicle to
bring some of the good old ladles of
that town out of their graves. It was
one of them as Dean Ramsay records
who protested against steam vessels
as counteracting the decrees ot provi-
dence In going u?atnst wind and tide.
"I. would hae nacthln'g to say ta thae
Impious vessels" she Insisted. "An-
other was equally shocked by the In-
troduction of gas in place of oil de-
manding: "What'B to become o' the
pulr whales?"
Much for His Money.
At tho suffrage portrait show at
the Qlaenser galleries in New York
John. Sloan told V story about tho
nude' In art.
"An old farmer and his wife?' said
Mr. Sloan "once visited an exhibition
where the nude predominated. They
seemed a good deal Impressed- they
seemed almost stupefled by all the
white and gleaming pictures. As they
left I heard the old man say with a

Wicomico Vs. In an Interesting
letter from this town Mrs. Senora C.
Beawell says: "I want to say that I
cannot express tho gratitude which I
owe to Cardul tho woman's tonic. To
me it was Indeed a Ood-send.
Before I began taking Cardul seem
ingly my days wero numbered and
my relatives and friends despaired of
my life and why not? I had always
been uo happy and cheerful which
changed quickly to misery and wretch-
edness. My complexion turned to a
greenish yellow I had no appetite
and altogether I was a wreck.
I had often seen Cardul advertised
and spoke of It to one of my friends.
Bho told my boys who sold Cardul
and next time they camo-home they
brought me a bottle. I had been suf-
fering tortures for eight or more
years. I commenced taking Cardul
and before I had used half ot the first
bottlp I felt like my old self again. I
look uo well now my friends tell me
they don't bellevo anything would kill
me. I certainly feel that I am a true
friend of and a living advertisement
for Cardul the woman's tonic."

Primitive Race of Man Existed In Af-
rica Before Years Began to
Be Counted.
A primitive race of men existed in
South Afrlcu according to a recent
Interesting discovery or Dr. Ilroom or
aermlstou. This scientist's archaeo-
logical and geologicul researches havo
mado his naiiio ramlllur to scientists
In Europe nnd America. Somo tlmu
ago a hot spring wns discovered thir-
ty iiiIIcb north or Hloemfonteln nnd In
the course of operations designed to
open up tho eye of the spring It was
necessary to tunnel Into a sandhill.
In tho trend of operations the work
men came upon a Quantity of mam-
malian remnlna associated with hu-
man Implements and a quantity of
charred wood. Tho significance of the
discovery was not realized by tho first
finders but fortunately u Dutch lady
in the district suspected that they had
scientific value and prevented- tho
finds from being dispersed. Dr. Ilroom
went down and examined them. He
found that tho bones were chiefly
those of hippopotami eland bubnuls
balnl (the huge extinct boffalo of
South Africa whoso horns used to at-
tain a span ot 12 feet) equls capensls
(the gigantic Capo horses long since
extinct which far exceeded tho
Clydesdale In bIzo) an extinct variety
of wild beasts the wart hog nnd a
number of small buck. Previous dis-
coveries had cauBed scientists to be-
lieve that man had lived In South Af-
rica contemporaneously with thu ex-
tinct giant buffalo but tho proofs
avullablo wero Inconclusive. Dr.
Ilroom regards this discovery as prov-
ing their co-existence beyond doubt.
