' WASHINGTON, July ItIn the closing hours -of every session of Congress bills . are hurried through, many of them with out being closely examined, and some of them are of a class 06 legislation that if Is far from desirable. The deliberate ' manner in which the first session of the 67th Congress was brought to a close psevented much of this kind of legisla tion from being enacted, but it has been discovered that the Wan street brokers will profit to the extent of about 13,000,- ,000 by the fact that a little "Joker" was quietly attached to the bill refunding the war tax that had been paid by religious, charitable and educational Institutions. The amendment, which was offered to House bill in the Senate, remits the ac crued war taxes on bonds deposited as collateral to secure call loans. r Temporary mmm A Great Sale of Summer Goods.

A visitor to the publicity department of the World's Fair tells a somewhat amusing story of a fel low, traveler he met on the'Northern Pa cific railway coming from the West. The conversation drifted to the postponement of the World's Fair to 1904. The Western er remarked: "To tell the truth, stranger, I can't say that it Is practical for the rea son that one or the sweetest of Western roses haa promised to marry me provid ed we spend our honeymoon at the World's Fair.

Owing to the operation of the law ngainst pocket pistols, which went into effect on July 1, the South Carolina gentlemen are de prived of one of their most cherlshel inheritances, and there is a possibility that the bowle knife will replace the six shooter. The smallest size firearm al lowed by the law must be 20 inches long and weigh three pounds. Nothing in the Jaw bars knives, and the sawed-off shot gun coming within the weight limit, therefore, armorers expect a lively busi ness in that line. "But about CO feet down I didn't meas ure the dlstiWt then I struck one of the cross rods a slanting blow with my head. But my legs, sort o' huddled tip as I fell probably, came down full vforce against the rod. 1 could hear the bones crack. They made quite a loud noise like a percussion cap. Still, It was the blow on the heud that hurt the most. Then, though not before, I thought to myself, 'Well, it's your last cruise, for sure,' and things got black before me. 1 guess I fainted. "But the cold water brought me to. 1 bobbed up as natural as a harbor buoy. I soon opened my eyes and I suppose I smiled. I thought. Just as If I was some body else. 'Sair, mate, you didn't die this watch, did you?" I know 1 felt awful L'ood about it. But soon as I made my first kick, or, rather, tried to make it, I found that. both my legs were hanging as heavy and dead as shot in a canvas bag. They didn't pain me, though. And when I found I couldn't swim I felt my gun was spiked for sure. But Just then I heard the crew .up aloft on tne bridge hollering 'Good boy. Bailor! You're all right! Boat's coming! Keep a pad-" dling, Jackie.' It did sound fine and hearty, let me tell you. And so I kept a paddlln' until a man peached me In a boat 15iminuteaafter I dropped down. "I was pretty nearly done up. I knew hbw my legs would hurt me If he tried to pull me over the gunwale of the boat, and I tried to make him tow me along side. But he couldn't manage that and he did haul me in, though it was a. mighty tough experience..

ROULETTE, Fa.. July ll.-Olen Bowles of Costello will never atop again to be Good Samaritan to a deer in trouble. He works for the big tannery company there. He was In the woods one day last week looking over a bark contract. Passing along an old woods road, he saw a fawn, lying In a chip of bushes. As the fawn did hot move; he walked up to It and found that It was bleeding from an injury In its shoulder. With the intention of taking ' the wounded fawn home with him and doc toring it,' Bowles; was stooping to' lift it up In his arms when the frightened little animal began bleating plteously. It had scarcely- uttered It first r cry when Bowles beard a commotion in the brush. and looking up,, saw -two deer, a big buck and a doe, bounding toward him. The buck had on a fierce front, the brlntle on his neck standing erect and his eyes biasing . with fury, Bowles hastily climbed a tree. He got . out of range of the buck Just . In time to es cape a savage lunge from his "horns. The doe took the fawn away Into the wood. The buck, however, stayed right at the foot of the tree and pranced and snorted around It at every move Bowles made, keeping him there until long after dark. When he thought the buck had gone away Bowles slipped down and out of the tree and started to put behind him the three miles that lay between that spot and home as quickly as his legs would let him. He hadn't gone 60 yards. though, before the buck was after him Dodging from tree' to tree, Bowies made his way along until a man answered his cries for help. Then the buck abandoned the chase. The settler who went to Bowies' res cue said the buck was a terror of that neighborhood, and known to the hun ters as Old Golden. (Journal Special Service.) WOONSOCKET. R.; I.. July- 11. Miss Mabel Ward, 17 years of age, of Mllford, Mass., made her debut as an aeronaut and received Injuries .from which she may die. Miss Ward ascended 300 feet and then, pulled the parachute string.

Later at the hospital her leg was ampu tated above the knee. She has only a slight chance for life. Miss Ward's plight resulted from a bet made a week ago. While watching an ascension she said to her escort that she could make the trip as easily as tho aeronaut had done. "I'll bet you a box of candy you can't," he replied. "I'll do it," said the young woman. She told the aeronaut her plans and for sev eral defys received instructions from him. Her friends and family tried to dis suade her, but it was no use.
