Mr.. Fowler then eyed Woods sus-

quisitive.
The drummer replied by handing the
young lady the ring and asking if it
was hers.
"Oh, the very same, y was the reply.

Woods related the circumstances as
recorded above, and concluded with
the remark that he hoped Miss Fowler
found as much pleasure in obtaining
the ring as he had derived in following
the little mystery.
Mr.. Fowler gave himself up to
hearty laugh, at the same time thank
ing Woods for his Kindness, and re-
marking that it was one of the clever
est pieces of detective work he had
ever seen. AS criminal lawyer he
had observed many of them, too.
Woods was invited to remain for
dinner, and he did SO. He made him.
self very agreeable, and succeeded in
creating a favorable impression. He
was cordially invited to call again if he
ever happened to return to the city.
About three week later he found
himself in Madison, again on his re-
turn trip from the west. He was well
received by the Fowlers, and was in

his next trip in that vicinity and he
was surprised at the anxiety he seemed
to feel to accept the invitation he had
received to present himself at the Fow-

The Hired Man.

Curiously enough. the term "hired
man" is only applied to man that
works on farm, as though other men
were not hired. There are many grades
of hired men. A good one is cheap at
high wages, and a bad or Indifferent
one is dear if he works for nothing and
boards himself.
Usually, farmers do rot seem to
realize the important position that such
man holds, nor is sufficient caution
exercised in filling it. In the first
place the hired man is brought continu-
ally into contact with the boys on
the farm. He has seen consid cradle of
the world, at least more than they
have, and his daily walk and converse
tion exert a material influence over
them. Many farmers lad has re-
ceived his first lesson in iniquity from
such teacher, yet the fathers of these
same have wondered at their deviations
from the path of rectitude. When the
farmer has but one assistant it is OBJ
yious that much must be left to his
direction, and that the employers sue
cess depends largely upon the informa-
tion and zeal of the man that is en-
ployed. He should certainly be inter-
ested to an extent beyond the question
Of wages. Notice your man. Does be
allow barn door to be slammed off its
hinges by the wind. Does he care for
the stock as though it is his own? Is
he economical in the use of your i'm
plements, seeds and time ? Is he
careless driver Does he leave stock
exposed to cold and storms ? Does he
drink or gamble, and is the language
he uses such as you want your children
to hear ? Such questions are deserv-
ing of consideration indeed they are
of vital Importance to one who has the
welfare of his family and the success
of his business at heart. But I am
not writing in disparagement of these
men on the contrary, believe the
good qualities of some are never fully
appreciated, and that not enough diff
ference exists between the wages paid
the worthy and the worthless. hired
man.-Practical Farmer.

made cheaper by reason of such protsc-

that the duty is added to the cost. But
the difficulty with the presidents theory
is that he forgets that the price of a COM

supply and demands Law universal in
its application and unvarying in its re.

If the supply besabundant and the de-

Therefore it is ii by protective tariff we
can establish and maintain q domestic

unrsstrained foreign competition, could
not exist, we will therefore increase the

claimed his success for some time. 1t

will strike the senate. which must pass

licitor ~generalship,, and subsequently
positions on the civil service commits
sion and Pacific road commission, all Of
which he declined. He has been held
in the highest regard by the president
and has been generally Endorsed by
western Democrats. In personal ap-
pearance, Mr.. Fuller is unusually hand
some, his hair and moustachs are silvery
and his features clear cut and intelligent.
In stature, he is short and slight,
compared with his associates OF the
supreme bench. MI. Fuller is a man Of
high scholarly as we'll as legal attain
msnts and as an orator his talents have
given him the name Of the Chauncey M.
Depew Of the west. In politics he ID
best described as an "eld school Demo-

active during tho war; lisa believer in
the advanced doctrine of states rights
and an advocate of simple government.
He is a member of the church and has
been prominently identified with that
Organization and conspicuous in the
Cheney and other ecclesiastic trials. He
is we'll known in Washington as q prac-
titionor before the supreme court.
