lowing: Perhaps fifteen or sixteen
years ago, in very good State, l saw a
woman with q pleasant Quaker face,
under simple Quaker bonnet rather
liked it-and her Quaker husband sit

OF. They had spent many years to-
gethsr, you could zee by their faces. He
wasjust bidding her good bye as the
traiA was starting, and I heard her ask
hinrfor little money. l did not at all
wish to hear what they said, but 1 heard
that he had bought her ticket, and
saw that he had taken her satchel Polite
~ on his arm. She hated to ask him
for the money; d great many other
women have hated to ask for it, too.
She began to say, Il wish ! had little"
she did not want to finish, thinking
that he would think of it and give it to
her, hst he did not. So out it came,
all at ybce Maybe I'll want little

her Vim surprise, and said: What

Some 6ve-and-twenty years ago, when
the West was but sparely settled, it
was a work of some difficulty to get a
jury together, especially as the inhabi-
tants weren otoriously disinclined to the
pleasure Of litigation. The court had
been forced to adjourn many times from
day to day, because the sheriff as often
came in and reported an incomplete
panel. Finally things came to a crisis.
The judge fixed day beyond which no
further forbearance could be exercised;
and when that day arrived the enthusi-
astic sheriff rushed into the courtroom.
and exclaimed: "It's all right, your
Honor. Well have the jury by II
O'Clock. I've got eleven of them lock-
ed up in barn, and we are running
the klfth with dogss!"

A very important decision has just
been made by the Governor in relation
to the acts of Notaries Public. The
case is as follows: "A. B. was appoint
ed Notary Public by Governor Matte
son in 1853. BY law this commission
expired four years from date thereof,
but said A. B. continued to act as
notary until 1861, when he died, his
commission not having been renewed.
Some time in the year 1859 said A.
B. took the acknowledgement of deed
as notary public. The deed was sent
to the Secretary Of State few days
since, for his certificate, that at the
time the acknowledgment was taken
said A. B. was an acting Notary Pub
lie, and authorized to take acknowl-
edgmcnts, etc. The Secretary refused
to attach the desired certificate, for the
reason that the commission issued by
Governor Matteson to the said A. B.
expired by limitation during the year
1857, and not being renewed he could
not certify to his official acts as Notary
in 1859. The matter was referred to
the Governor, who sustained the action
Of the Secretary Of State; and in rend-
ering his decision, expressed the opin-
ion, that as the law limited the term of
Office of Notary Public to four years,
the Secretary could not issue such GER
tifcatc; and he also expressed grave
doubts if the sureties on the bond of
said A. B. could be held responsible for
the acts of said Notary after the expi-
ration of the term Of four years for
which he was appointed. The decision
is an important one. and should lead to
the exercise of more care in the ac-
acknowledgement of valuable documents.

etatistics Of Inebriety.

DR.. McKinly, of st. Louis, says
the Medieal Reporter of that city. has
compiled, after very careful research
some very interesting and startling
statistics of inebriation in the United
States. BY him the following state
ments are made,
Taking the population of this coun-
try at 100000 OF 900 men, la
never drink spirit. at all; 100 drink
moderately, but not to intoxication;
so are ephcmeral drinkers; 25 drink
periodically, called "spreeing;" and
arehabitual inebriates. To every LIS
who drink, 3 are confirmed inebriates
25 are periodical drinkers; SO are
ephemeral drinkers. One confirmed
inebriate to every 50 Of men. Q! 100

larger proportion Of them become ha

rarely become habitual, but perioiica
drinkers; the latter rarely become ha
bitual inebriates, as the violence o,
their drinking is too great, and leads
to disgusting safety, and hence tc

TRANsPLASrlyo MOUNTAIN PFAKs.-

off. North of the mountain there was

South of the mountain there were
multitudes OF such borldcrs. Psrchel
on the very top OF Hoosac Mountain
the tourist may see boulder seventy
feet in circumference and fifteen feet
high. II he looks at the boulder, then
at the mountain, he will see that the

Iowa Apples Best.

The last report of the American 1nsti-
tute advances Iowa apples to the front
OF all others, in plain and graceful
words as follows: .'The Secretary of
the Iowa State Horticultural Society
presents samples of Iowa grown fruit,
gathered early in September; been ex-
hibited at their Fair; travllel 1900
miles, three days upon the journey.
and yet under these adverse cireum-
stances are most ereditable to Iowa as
a fruit growing State. The President
stated that those were tho finest ap-
pies he had seen in the Club tor the
past ten years, and to produce such
fruit in great abundance should en-
gage the serious attention OF all pres
ent. Prices are very high, and every
encouragement should be given to
their production in localities adapted
to their culture
Will you folks who pity Iowa " be-
cause it is not good State for fruit"
please light your pipes with the above
testimonial of the highest authority on
fruits in the United States, and puff
away till your misapprehcnsion is
smoked away? As we now raise more
and better corn to the acre than any
othor State, so will We soon be able
to supply the Eastern and Middle
States with their "inest apples"
Iowa is to be not only the oorn-feld
OF the country, but also the orchard.
Good enough. Come TO Iowa---Stats

Selett YDoetrp,
The Fair Tanbourinist.

With feet half naked and bare,
And dress hal. tattered and torn;
With penny here and mocksry there,
And foods Of derision and scorn,
She wanders the street wherever her feet,
Weary or willing. are borne:
With an eye as bright and cheek as fair
As the earliest blush of the morn.
Wandering up and down
And driven from door to door,
4 jest for every idle clown,
And butt fer every boor;
While the velvet slippered, in satin and lace
Go rustling by her side,
With frozen heart and = curtained face,
And lip curled into pride!
So beautiful, yet so frail,
So willing, yet so weak,
o, what if the heart should fail
And heavenly purpose break,
And the dens and kennels of vice
Another poor victim hold?
A celestial spark DE quenched in the dark,
And on angel be bartered for gold!
No wonder the heart should fail,
And o heavenly purpose fade,
The eye grow dim and the cheek grow pale,
When none stand ready to sidl
No wonder the lairs and cradles of sin
So many poor victims should hold,
While the gooj are content to worship thei
God
And the rich to worship their gold.

I. In 1924 the duties we're raised on iron
and woollen manufactures to the protective
standard.
In 1898 the duties were again raised.
The hill to raise the duties was called by the
free traders or nulliheres a bill OF abornina-
tons
In 1888 the duties were reluced by the
compromise tariff.
In 1912 the tariff was again raised to the
protective standard
- For the year 1s6l>S, inclusive, the
third column shows the rate Of advance in the
tariff.
The above table Of figures will most as
surealv quiet the fears Of those who are
made 10 believe that the national revenue
will be diminished by protective tariff OF
duties. So far from it, the revenues appear
to greatly increase by highly protective du-
ties upon manufactures.
This may appear anomalous TO the super>
fetal rs1soper; but when it is considered
that, as the Importation OF foreign manutac-
lures i. diminished, the home production
must necessarily be increased. This lnevi>
,ably calls iutc reqai-ition the only commo>
dity which the poor have to dispose OF, viz;
their labor: and consequently all who are
able and willing 10 work are changed from
paupers AMI vicious idlers to independent. re
spectacle and happy workmen and workin S
women: from being a burden and an eye sore
to the public, they become aiders and pride
to society; in earning good living and home
for themselves, they are adding 10 the great
common ~eslth. They become able to enjoy
those comforts which m nst necessarily be i'm :
ported and on which We ought to rely for im>
port revenues. A prosperous people will in-
dulge even in foreign luxuries, and manu-
featuring people must import many necessa
rice. This accounts for the increase Of reven'
eu under system that employs our own reo'
pie to supply the community instead Of
squanierng our gold ard selling our public
securities 10 foreigners.
A parent who would keep . numerous FAM
ily OF children in idlenee. and want, and
pstroniI. strangers. would be deserving Of
unqualified censure; and this remark is
equally applicable 10 government which
thus treats its constituents.
Respectfully yours,

NO "A
THE NEW BABY!
A BoY's soLiLoouY.

Yes, there's another of EN- up stairs,
now! l knowed it, cause pa told me
must be quiet and sit down in the
corner with my book, and mustn't play
ball nor ask Willie Smart to come in
and help me put my new puzzle to-
gether. Then there's cross nurse
that's always .colding me for getting
in her way, and I'm always in the way
no matter where | get. Besides, Miss
Gadall was here to-day, and she took
me on her knee, patted me no the back
just like cook does when I'm choking,
and said my nose was another degree
out OF joint; but l knew better. for
this is the third time she has told me
SO, and It is -, -..a IL Is on more out
of ioirt than it even was. She's a hate
fui.. goggle-eyei old maid-that's what
she is.
l saw it, too. It's got round, red
head without any hair, with great,
deep wrinkles instead of eyes and
| when it cries it opens its mouth as
wide as though it meant to swallow
itself Pa helped me up on the side
of the bed, and told me to kiss my
| dear, pretty little sister; and when
wouldn't, and called it a horrid, ugly
little thing, he SAID I was naughty
boy, and then nurse shook me, and
said l ought to be ashamed. l didn't
get to kiss my ma at all; l knew better
than to try it, for once when another
baby came, climbed up on the bed
and, putting my arms around her neck,
hucced and kissed her, but all the
time had my knee right on the ba-
bys head, so l was whipped and put
in my CRIB without any supper because
| didn't know it was there.
Little Annie thinks its nice to have
| a new sister but she was the baby be-
tore, and don't know anything about
| it. l can remember long, long ago
ma used to call me her "sweet little
1arl,ng," and pa dandled me on mis- foot
and said I was "fne fellow" and
Aunt Julia declared that Twas "per
feet little angel" but then Tom came,
and all my pretty toys were given to
hlm cause he was the baby, and l was
cuffed and scolded by everybody
'cept grandma, and she's good to me
yet, though there's been two other
new ones since.
L wonder where all the babies
come from: Ma says the Lord send:
them. l wish he wouldn't send any
more to our house; we've got more I
enough now. 1t might be nice tol
them if they could stay little always
but they have to grow big after
while, and then they amt no better
ffthan the rest OF folks. | rather
think if I was baby I'd ask the Lord
not TO send me where I'll grow any
bigger, and then Id have nothing tc
do but to lie on my back and chew my
toes, and have folks say was the dar
lingest, cunningest little creature the!
ever laid eyes on.

EFFECT OF PROTECTION ON THE
REVENUE
8 Chicago Journal Of Commercs:

Editors Chicago Journal Of Commerce:
Many of our national legislators and func-
,ionarie. regulate all their public acts solely
with a view to the public revenue, regardless
Of all consequences to the industrial and
productive enterprise of the country. Mans
ufactures and Manufacturers, as we'll ~
miners and wool growers have been so ofteu
sacrificed under the mistaken idea that the
revenue would be augmented BY opening cur
markets to the foreign manufacturer at just
that rate Of duties which will enable them to
under sell our own, and mcnopolize the trade,
that men OF experience and capital are ex>
tremely cautious Of embarking in that bust,
ness.
There is something very plausible, it IS
true in the assumption tina. there must be
loss to the revense by checking the immense
importation of manufactures that ha. been
going on from the first organization Of the
governmen Mt to the present timei but it will
not bear the test of On exami nation.
THE FACTS AND TIGuREs.
prior l., 1915 there vas no discrimination
in fayer of manufactures-no protection to
them-bu, ON the contrary commerce and
Agriculture were protected, encouraged, and
stimulated constantly by the government,
and IN 1915, under the double war duties, the
revenue from customs was only 1928, o42.
How r,eagre . sum was this toward defrsy-
ing the expenses Of our war with the most
poverful nation npon the earth.
The first tariff for protection was passed.
in 1916 and somewhat relaxed in 1920. Here
are the figures resulting from each tariff
