"I Have to Stay Up a While to Go fur the Doctor.'
TONE POEM.
On high the rockets gleam and glare
And iridescent spangles glance
Athwart the bosom of the air
Pull Jeweled with their radiance.
Bflow the bursting of the bombs
Which on the sidewalk dart and dance
"Tells that the sulphury perfumes
Soon will the twilight air enhance.
And now there comes a ringing clang
And hoofbeats as the chargers prance
It is the warning bing! and bang!
Made by the speeding ambulance.
Often So.
Wo burn our money on the Fourth
Eut then the year is full of days
On which without exerting much
We burn our money other ways.
The ordinary man does not care
"sho makes the fireworks of a nation
-O long as he can show the children
how to set them off.
FATAL DAY.
"Had a permature explosion of
fireworks in our town the , Fourth.
Caused a terrible stampede."
"Had a stampede in our town, too."
"Fireworks explode there?"
"No. Happened before dark. Dur
ing the speaking exercises the chair
man announced unexpectedly that Mr.
Longfellow Tennyson Scruggs was
about to read an original poem com
posed especially for the occasion."
An Anatomical Mistake.
"Pardon me," said Mrs. Justgottit,
to her callers. "It is growing so dark
I "believe I will ring for the livers."
"For the what?" exclaimed the call
ers. "Now, just listen to me! Of course,
I meant ring for the lights. A body
does get so twisted sometimes, doesn't
she?"

The truth of this prediction made sev
erai days ago was proven beyond fur
ther doubt or question when the sen
ate adopted a resolution offered hy
Senator Jore of OKiauoma, directing
the finance committee to report the
Underwood woolen bill to the senate
not later tnan July lu. The vote on

In a message prepared in New York
and transmitted through the white
house to congress, President Taft scath
ingly arraigned tne manufacturers of

amend at this session ' the pure food

pointed out defects by decisions of the

enacted.

ed extended only to governmental ac
quisitions, was challenged by Senator
Bacon of Georgia. "We have more to
enjoy that we have received rfom Eng.
land than from all the rest of the
world put together," said Senator Ba
con. Upon the passage by the house of
the Underwood bill for the revision
of the woolen schedule by a vote of
221 to 100, Mr. Underwood of Alabam'a,
the Democratic leader, received a tre
mendous ovation and the Democratic
side was very jubilant over the occur
rence. After voting down all amend
ments the Democrats adopted the bill
with only one dissenting voice. Thus
the prediction of Mr. Underwood was
verified, and the recommendation of.
Mr. Bryan flatly ignored.
Representative Sheriey of Kentucky

Raleigh. Bankers from the , South
and Southwest and representatives of
other cotton interests decided' at a
conference held in New York that
further elucidation of doubtful points
in the, Liverpool "central office" plan
for verification of cotton bills of
lading is necessary before the plan
can be given proper consideration.
Definite approval was given the meth
ods of safeguarding bills of lading
embodied in the agreement now being
signed by the railroads. The con
sensus of opinion of those at the con
ference was expressed in the follow
ing resolution, embodied in a state
ment given out at the close of the
session:
"The conference thoroughly dis
cussed, the plan submitted for verifica
tion through a central office proposed
to be established by the ' Liverpool
cotton conference committee of 1907
and concluded that the method car
ried with it certain vague responsi
bilities, which are likely to lead to
litigation and contention in the fu
ture and that these elements of doubt
must be cleared up by the Liverpool
committee to the entire satisfaction
of the American committee before it
can be considered."
The statement continues: "The com
mittee, however, agreed that greater
safguards should be required of
transportation companies in the issu
ance of negotiable bills of lading for
merchandise of all kinds, and it ap
proves of the methods of safeguarding
the issuance of bill3 of lading' pro
posed in the agreement being signed
by the railroads and will assist and
co-operate with all the various inter
ests in the passage and enforcement
of Federal and State laws and railway
commission regulations leading to
