as we manufacture our wool at home l
feel quite certain that the best prizes for
wool viii be awarded to countries like
Spain, which produce wool but do not
manufacture It into goods. This will
stimulate the production Of WOOL 10 such
countries and reduce the price OF the
raw material bought by French mills
from abroad. The advantage OF such a
policy ia obvious. The samples Of to-
bscco from our country are very fac,
but no one need be surprised If the first

Louisville Courier J~ournal.I
That recent development 10 the state
ment line" in jersey City very forcibly
reminds US Of the late Brooklyn case Of
contradiction. Mrs. Vosburg, having
testified in forty pages Of manuscript
that her husband drank too much, that
be was in love with another woman, and
that he had tried several times to poison
her, when summoned to the witness
stand, refused to appear against him.
Not content with this, she wrote a retrac.
ton OF all she had said, declaring that
he had never denied her anything in
his life." A new dress, some jewelry
and q pretty suit OF bedroom furniture
did it For these things she admitted
herself a despicable liar and a malicious
