DEFENDING WOMEN.
A Young Bride Gives Her Husband Some
Points in Male GaIIantry.


Clara Bellies Letter.
hold it to be truth constantly lf-evident
that every man will defend woman against all
men except himself If You haven't noticed it
already, you have only to look for IL an hour or
so in any place Of mixture of the sexes Clap
your eyes on pretty woman without male
escort, and two phenomena will become obvious.
Firstly, there will be large amount of open
and covert staring at her. to all of which her
obliviousness is of course only assumed. Second
ly, if one of the starers happens to realize that
others are at the same game he will manifest
plainly his disgust at such treatment of an
unprotected beauty utterly ignoring his Of
Tense. A husband and wife got into street
car The man was somewhat dudish in dress
The woman under twenty, and as pretty as
nature and art IN the habit of combining to
produce They were chatting on the very sub
iect that l have here introduced.
''Percival, DEAR said she, II will prove to
you that I am right, and take only ten minutes
to do it, if you will promise not to get angry
about it."

her was entire stranger, and waited for the
car to fill with passengers at Union square
''Now," she whispered behind her fan, lob

Within five minutes he that half dozen
masculine passengers, from hoary age to callow
YOUTH eyed his bride with more or less audaeity
and several manifestly would not have needed
the smallest beginning of wink on her part to
seize upon her then and there. That part of the
exhibition was triumph for the wife, but the
most curious feature of her experiment remained
to be tried
''You certainly do seem to attract great deal
of admiration" said the husband, supposing
that the pretended strangeness was at an end.
She lifted her eyebrows in simulated surprise,
as though an impairment fellow had unwarrant

away from him. He understood her now, and
did not speak to her further. Next she drew
her shoulder away from contact with his By
this time the spectators were believing that he
was annoying her dreadfully, and scornful
elances were aimed at him. Her final trick was
conclusive. 1t consisted in suddenly pulling her
skirts clear of his trousers and deliberately set
sting her feet as far in the other direction as the
end of the car would permit. Nobody doubted
that the dear, demure creature had been grossly
insulted A man arose from the opposite side.
''Will you exchange seats with me2" he very
gallantly and politely said, lifting his hat most
defereutially.
Now he had been formost among the original
oglers--the veriest simpleton of them all

THE FARMER PROTECTED.
Direct Benefits from the Tariff to the Farmer
Duties on His Produce.

Direct Benefits from the Tariff to the Farmer
Duties on His Produce.
J. W Frazier, Of Philadelphia.
The free-trade organ of Pennsylvania the
Philadelphia Record, is making frantic demands
for the removal of custom duties on what it des-
ignates as ''the necessares of life and it pro-
fesses to make that demand in the interest of
the farmer and his wife, whom it desires to see
wear clothing, hats, shoes and to use blankets,
nuslins and stoneware etc, made by the pau
per paid labor of Europe. The Record ingenu-
ously asserts that if the average duty of 30 per
cent. was removed from these ''necessaries of
life the farmer would save just that much on
his purchases.
The free trade Record must admit that Il all
such goods were brought into the country duty
free it would result in throwing many hundreds
of thousands of American workmen out of en-
ployment, and would reduce wages to the Euro
eean rates and that in consequence we wo uld
require to purchase "the necessaries of
life" as cheaply as they could possibly be bought
hence he would very properly expect to have
removed the duty of 20 per cent. on cattle, hogs
and sheep, of 10 cents Der bushel on and
oats. and 20 cents per bushel on wheat, and 20
per cent on wheat -four, q cents per bushel on
