A LESSON IN PERSEVERANCE. Going to Prove That Repetition Will Work Wonders if a Man Has Only the Necessary Amount of Cheek to Stand Up and Keep on Talking. Mark Twain once told I reporter that If a man says the same thing of? ten enough people will begin to listen to him. "Now," said the great humorist, "thno was that story about Ha ik Monk. That was the oldest, stalest, driest, deadest bit of alleged humor that any man ever heard. It had be nj circulated around Nevada and Call fornia until there wasn't a tuau left who would even listen to it. I had heard it so many times that I knew it by heart. It told how Hank Monk got Horace Greeley over the Glennbruok grade to riacerville. "I was about to deliver my second lecture at Platt's hall In San Fran? cisco?the secoud oue I had ever de? livered. It occurred to me that 1 might begin that lecture with the worst story I had ever heard and by telling It oftcu enough start the lec? ture with a big laugh. I took that story and memorized it so that it would not vary iu the telling, and 1 made It just as pointless and just as dull and just as dry as I could. "When it came time for me to talk I stood up and with a few Introduc? tory remarks began that story. If I remember it weut something like this: ?* 'Horace Greeley once went over the Glennbrook grade to riacerville. When he was leaving Carson City he told the driver, Hank Mouk, that he had an engagement, to lecture at Placervllle and was very anxious to go through quick. Hank Monk crack? ed his whip and started off at an aw? ful pace. The stage bounced up and down in such a terrific way that it jolted the buttons all off Horace's coat and finally shot his head clean through the roof of the stage, and then he yell? ed to Hank Monk and begged him to go easier?said he warn't in as much of a hurry as he had been awhile ago. But Hank Monk said, "Keep your seat. Horace, and I'll get you there on timer' And he did. too?what was left of him.' "Now, that was all there was to the story. It was bad enough to begin with, but I made it worse in the tell? ing. I droned it out in a flat, monoto? nous tone, without a gesture to mar its depressing effect The people received It in dead silence. I had insulted every' man in the audience? I had 'graveled' them with a story that was not only stale and pointless, but one which they had heard at least a thousand times. I waited a few seconds for the laugh? ter, and then I began to hem and haw and shift my feet. I tried to appear Just as embarrassed as I could, and after floundering about helplessly for a few sentences I cheered up a little and said that I would tell a funny anec? dote which might be new to them. It began: * 'Horace Greeley went over the Glennbrook grade to Placervllle'? "I told it in exactly the same roller able, pointless way that I had told It before, and when I got through I wait? ed a longer time for the apmauso, but there wasn't any applause. I could see that several men in the house wen? growing quite indignant. They had paid money to hear a humorous lec? ture. I t-M.k a long breath and plunged in a third time, more embarrassed and t?te led and worried than ever, and by and by I worked ^ound again to the time when Horace Greelev went over Glean brook grade to Placervllle, "This time some of the smarter ones began to laugh, and this encouraged mo so much that I thanked them and started right In to tell the story over again, never varying the delivery so ?Ojeh as a pause to take breath. The fourth time fetched 'em, and at the end of the story they stood up and whooped and yelled And cheered for some time. "Tosj see. I thought that If a man had sand enough to stand up before an audit nee and tell the oldest, stalest and most uninteresting story in the World he could make people laugh if he had the ra-rve to tell the story often enough, The rest of my lecture went very well. They were willing to laugh at my anecdotes the flrsl time 1 told them. Maybe they were afraid i would tell then a s? cond time. "I felt so sure that I bad discovered ? new phase In human character that 1 tried the same thing in New York Teen Afterward There was an .au? thors* reading bee one afternoon, and m >st of tin* authors read selections from their works.

Secretary of ilic Interior Accused of Making Pulse Statements to Mr. Tall and of I icing Disloyal to tin4 President and to tlie People In his Present Position?Hearing Room Packed. Washing! in, Feb. ?With GHf ford Plnchot on the witness stand the Balllnger-Pincho! Inquiry entered its cond phase today. The dismissed chief of the forest service, before being sworn, dramatically declared that when his atory had been told, the country would demand a verdict "in harmony with the general convic? tion that the Secretary Of the Interior has been unfaithful both to the public, whose propi rty he has endangered, and to the President, whom he has deceived." 1.. K. Glavls, the Cunningham coal claims, Attorm y Brandeis, all stood aside to mal e rom for Mr. Plnchot, for Attorney Qeorge Wharton Pepper, his person ? ounsel, and the story of Secretary Bellinger's dealings with the water power sites of the public domain. Mr. Plnchot accused Secretary Bel? linger of having made an explanation of Iiis conduct to the President that was "essentially false." He charged him with being a dangerous enemy to conservation." He charged him with having made a statement shown by undisputed documentary evidence, "to be absolutely false in three essential particulars." He charged him with having "willfully deceived the Presi? dent," and of being disloyal to the President. Mr. Plnehot's first hour on the wit? ness stand was as replete with sen? sations as had been promised and the suffocating crowd in the hearing room hung intently upon every word that fell from his lips. A trifle nervous at first, Mr. Pinchot soon became accus? tomed to his surroundings and main? tained a confident pose thereafter. His recital had not progressed very far, however, when there came an ob? jection from Mr. Bellinger's attorney as to the witness r< pea ting conversa? tions had with Pres.dont Taft. It was contended that the relation of these conversations would put the Presi? dent in an attitude where he would either have to remain silent or else appear before the committee as a witness, which it was declared would be undesirable. The question was argued for some time and during the course of bis statement of the matter, the attorney for Mr. Pinchot admitted that Presi? dent Taft, in a letter written subse? quent to the conversation had de? clared that his recollection of what transpired at the Interview differed In some particulars from that of Mr. Pinchot. The matter was put over for consideration by the committee in i \ -entice session, and it is expected that a decision will be announced when the next session Is held on Tuesday morning. Mr. Plnchot followed up the vigor? ous attack made upon Secretary Bel? linger In his opening statement by an? nouncing that he fully believed In Speoial Agent Glavls and was con? vinced that all Glavls had said was true. Tie characterised Glavls as a "faithful public servant," and de? clared that tin tacts which he pre icnted "proved that Mr. Baliinger had heen unfaithful to his trust, as the guardian of public property of enormous value."

La. Feb. 28.?It was explained ni some length during the recent Gulf Mates Merchant Marine Convention at Xew Orleans that the free ship provision had been Included in tin- Humphrey Merchant Marine Hill now pending in Congress at the request of the Southern states, and that Southern Congressmen would have to bestir themselves it the free ship ami ndment is to remain in the '?Iii when it goes through the House. How true this is. is shown by the fol? lowing editorial published in theXew Yoj-U Commercial of February 23: "Although the house committee on merchant marine ami fisheries had just presented to the lower chamber a favorable report on the Humphrey shipping-aid-bill? a measure that has been "o. k. ed" by President Taft?it should be kept in mind that the re? port was agreed upon some time ago only after a most spirited contest over it in committee .and that the opposing committeemen are not all Democrats; in fact. Congressman Swasey of Maine, r? presenting the most important ship? building district in the country, will oppose the bill so long as the "free ships," provision remains in it. and the entire Maine delegation in the house and senate is solidly against it for the same reason; a shippings id bill opposed by the Main law-maker is something of a novel spectacle. "This legislation," says the committee report in part, "will if enacted give to the United States the very best ocean-mail and fast-freight service in American ships to South America in. stead of the present worse service in foreign ships. It will defeat the effort of the Anglo-Japanese alliance to drive the American merchant flag oft the Pacific Ocean. The compensation given under the conditions of this bill is emphatically not a 'subsidy' but actual pay for important public ser? vice rendered." The operation of the measure as law would unquestionably lead in time to the results named; so it is hard to understand why the fra mers of the bill and sponsors insist on keeping in it a "free-ships" provi? sion, for this only injures, and very seriously, too, the chances of its pas? sage. It is superfluous also and quite uncalled for, for the committee to ex? plain that the mileage rates proposed to be paid by the government for ocean-mail carrying are not a "sub? sidy," they are not, of course?but the law-makers and the public will in? sist on calling the measure a "ship subsidy" bill so long as its aim is to build up the American merchant ma? rine through any agency of the gov? ernment. This attempted explanation Is in the nature of a confession that the word "subsidy" is a good deal of a "red rag" with our Federal law? makers." CHINA'S GREAT WALL It Would Be a Mighty Task to Dupli? cate It Today. What man has done, we are told, man can do. But to erect today a great fortification comparable to the Great wall of China would be a heavy tax on both the resources and the res? olution of Europe. A score or two of warships are all very well, but the cost of labor and the will Involved In building fleets can hardly bo compared to those devoted to the building of that great barrier about two centuries before the coming of Christ, when Rome was struggling with Hannibal. Two thousand live hundred and fifty miles. Including spurs, arms and loops, is the length ascribed to It by Dr. W E. Geil, the only white man. we be? lieve, who his traveled the erhole length of it. It lias been said thai the Great wall is the only object of n an's handiwork which could be c1i!<cerned from the moon, and one ell'filiation has it that if the material ? ? Hie wall were disposed about the gin he at the equa? tor there would be a \ ill :llV le ci rut foot high nnd three re , thick around the earth. One can believe that to this day the name of the Emperor Chin is erased all along the wall by the . neterlty of the wretches who were forced to the gigantic task Of building it. In the days of its greatest Importance, when it was still holding back the Tartar hordes, it is believed to have bad on its lino 20.000 towers, each capable of holding 100 men, and 15,000 watch towers. Even todny t here remains 20, (hm> towers and 10.(XMJ U'rttchtowers, with some 2,000 miles i f wall that could, with moderate repairing, ho made into a formidable military work. ?London News.

So I lea son for Vast Expenditures at This Time?Moans Bankruptcy to the Government. Washington, Feb. 87.?In s caustic statement tonight Representative Jas. A. Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman of the house committee on appropria? tions, announces his complete opposi? tion to the government's naval pro. gramme, as it was outlined yesterday to the committee by Secretary Meyer. y.r. Tawney fores<os bankruptcy of the government If such programmes are adhered to, and he charges their agitation to a conspiracy of the ship? building Interests of the United States. "Those Interests," he said, "are even now getting ready to start another war scare. Japanese. Cerman or other? wise with a view to stimulating popu? lar favor for an extravagant outlay for the navy.*' The "competitive shipbuilding scheme" which Mr. Tawney says, is sought by Secretary Meyer, in his opinion, is fraught with danger, and the outlay necessary will compel the levying of greatly inereased taxes or render necessary a bond issue If the treasury is not to be drained. "I have heard of the govrnmeni's tentative naval programme with pro? found astonishment," said Mr. Taw? ney In his statement. "One reason for my surprise at the more than ambiti? ous naval programme which is sug? gested is the fact that it involves a great increase in our now enormously large appropriations for naval pur? poses, without basing it on any neces? sity whatever as a means of national defense and also without regard what? ever to the fact that in this fiscal year we are facing a deficit and that next fiscal year we will be near our aggre? gate revenues in the amount appro? priated this session. "In view of our geographical isola? tion, which as a means of national defense Is worth more to us than the largest navy any nation in the world possesses, and also in view of the fact that in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1009, we expended 71 per cent, of our government revenues on account of wars we have had, and wars we are preparing for, it is rather amazing to find a naval programme proposed that v freatl Increase Avr ap? propriate-re ? . d. this h WV are at pe; >. ? all the world. There Is not even <? prospect of our becom? ing Invo .? I '? y ?? ar with i foreii n na? tion. It seems almost increaioie that any one would suggest the adop? tion of a naval programme which will involve the expenditure of more money than we have under existing revenue laws and a policy, too, which will virtually put out of commission at least half of our war vessels by making them inferior in size and efficiency by comparison with those giant battleships now proposed." The laws of Norway regulating the relations between servant and family would have a particularly Atting application here in Washing? ton, where the servant question is one of the bugbears of all house? keepers. For instance, under the law of Norway, it is almost unknown for a dissatisfied or disgruntled ser? vant to leave her position without permission. The reason for this lies in the fact that In cases where she does make this move the servant is liable to arrest. imprisonment, and fine. Naturally. therefore, such ? a; es are rare. But on the other band, the servant has the protection of the law from urjust treatment at the hands of her employer, for it is not allowed for a family to discharge hi u: f-ettsfactorv sfrvmt wP*.?ou* official Intervention and the approval of a magistrate. The wages paid domestics In Norway are warranted to make an American housewife smile, als?. Good cooks are paid from %4 t<,> ST per month while house? maids and kitchen maids rece've even less than this. Good looks may get a man a wife, but good manners hohl her longer. Don't blame the hen.

It is <>nly a question of a short time when extensive additions to the freight yard must he made, notwith? standing the fact that every year miles of new sidetracks are put in.
