"Now comes a new tariff bill which
prompts to bear heavily on practically
all of the people and especially those
who work for wages. Senator La Fol-

the people will be robbed of 1120.000-

ONCE HOME OF PAUL REVERE
Dwelling of the Patriot I Now the
Oldest Houte Standing in
Boston.
Built some time between 1630 and
1680 In the very heart of Boston In the
old North end the Paul Revere house
Is the oldest house in Boston.
The 'house was purchased by Paul
Revere in 1770 and here be lived until
1800 through the stirring revolution-
ary tlmea From the door of this bouse
hs went forth on hia famous ride on
April 10 1775.
In restoring the house the Paul Re-
vere Memorial association which un-
dertook the work did not try to make
simply a quaint old home; its sole en-
deavor wag faithfully to restore It lo
as nearly Its original condition as pos-
sible says the Iioston Post.
From being a modern thre-story
building and L wif.h a store on the
ground floor the house has now been
brought back to the little low-studded
twastory dwelling house and L with
a sharply pitched roof covered with
hand-made ghlnxW; the second story
projecting and overhanging the first
This was done by removing the vari-
ous additions and destroying changes
that had been made since Paul Revere
lived there.
In removing all these later additions
and rechangin? the changes much
time money and work was spent In de-
termining the lines of the old roof the
Immense chimney and fireplace the
original 'position of the windows
doors etc. and preserving every piece
of old molding beam and woodwork
that wag found In order that the new
should be an exact reproduction of the
original. The old oak-hewn beams that
may be seen throughout the house are
most of them the old ftrU;inal beams
which in only a few cases had to be
pieced out. Al! the old wood taken
from the house was preserved.

"you rode my best horse 20 miles to

"Yes suh Marse Robert dat's so

"Mow many times hr.ve I told you

couldn't get along togeiher on this

"Dat sho' Is the trufe Marse Rob-

"It has come to this Ransom;
Reveille la not big enough for you
and me. To-morrow morning we part;
you go your way and I go mine."
"Yes suh."
The old negro looked sorely trou-
bled and bewildered. He glanced over
his shoulder at the rippling lake the
open cotton the perfectly level fields.
Runsom had been born on Reveille
and had never known any other home.
Ills heart went out in supreme pity
for the man who had to leave It.
"Well Marse Robert ef we Jes

tellln' me whar'bouts you 'spects ter

MAKING A SURE THING OF IT.
Proprietor of Curio Store Ready With
a Suggestion That Would
Surely Save Time.
William Weston manager of the
Tabor Grand theater tells this one:
On one occasion David Belasco cast
an actor for a certain role in wnicb
he had to play the part of a Cossack
officer and every one knows how par
ticular Belasco is concerning detail.
ion must hunt up a Cossack
saber said he. "Not an ordinary
sword but the real thing." So the
aetcr man started out on a still hunt
through all the curio stores for the
weapon.
After & fruitless fjuest he arrived at
a junk shop kept by an ancient He
brew at Baxter street.
"Vat can I do for you?" queried the
proprietor.
I m with Belasco said the actor
man and I m looking for a Cossack
saber."
"Valt a minute."
The ancient one rummaged diligent-
ly through a pile of old scraps and
could not find the desired implement
of warfare. He Anally came forward
with a rusty dagger. "Here's Is shust
vat you want" he exclaimed Intent on
making a sale.
The Thespian again explained that
nothing would suit but a Cossack
saber.
"Vat do you vant to do mlt Id myne
frien't?" persisted he of the tritu of
Benjamin.
"I'm with Belasco aud I have to use
It In a part where I kill a man on the
Hta-e."
The old Jew's face lit up like a
birthday cake. "Vy vaB It that you
not tell me this before?" he ex-
claimed In delighted tones. "It Is
that you should kill a man on the
sta-e eh? Veil here vat's the matter
with this pistol? Dake it my friend
you can kill htm twice as quick with
id." Denver Post.
The Musketeers of Success.
"I owe my success In the walking
line." says Edward Payson Weston
starting out at 71 on his pedestrian
trip across the continent "to just
three things. They are pride princi-
ple and pluck. If you haven't any of
:hse don't try any r-vl long walk-
ing." This is good advlc sound and sen-
tentious. It might be extended to other
pilgrimages than those from salt wa-
ter to salt water. Pride principle and
pluck are the three tnuketrers that
every man needs In his s -rvlce.
