sage OF his bill to restore the duty on wool,
and believes he will succeed. There are

terested in the passage Of the bill. Texas,
Colorado and Bome Of the other western
and southwestern States want it passed.
But this Is bill that must be passed, II at
all, by sufficient number Of Democrats
from those States to give the Republicans
q majority.
II tae South refuses to restore the duty on
wool, the North and West will, or should,
place sugar on the free list or reduce the
duty very materially. Mr.. Conyerse's bill
will give the farmers four or five cents
more on the pound for their wool.

A Real Nice Girl.

ready to bet, made her own dress, and
how nice she did look. She was one OF
those clean, trim girls you see now and
then. She was about Is years old, and
to begin with, looked well-fed, healthy
and strong. She looked as though she
had a good sensible mother at home.
Her face and neck and ears and hair
were clean absolutely clean. How
seldom you see that. There was no
powder, no paint on her smooth, round
ed cheek or firm, dimpled chin; none on
her moist red lips; none on the she'll
tinted, but not too small ears; none on
the handsomely set neck-rather broad
behind, perhaps. but running prettily
up into the tightly corded hair. And
the hair! 1t was of a light chestnut
brown and glistened with specks of gold
as the sun shone upon it, and there was
not n smear Of oil or pomatum or cos
metic on it; there was nota spear astray
about it, and not a pin to be seen in it.
As the girl came in and took her seat,
she cast IN easy unembarrassed glance
around the ear, from = well opened gray
eye, bright with the inimitable light of
good condition., such rs you see in
some handsome young athletes who are
"in training. There were no tags and
ends, fringe3 furbelows or Tutoring
ribbons about her closely fitting but
easy suit of tweed. and, rs she drew off
one glove to look into her purse for a
small coin for fare, | noticed that the
gloves were not new, but neither were
they old; they were simply kept, like
the owner and their owners hand,
which was solid hand, with plenty of
muscles between the tendOns and with
strong but supple fingers. 1t would
