Deluded mani He can no more keep his
Gladys from flying to her baby than he
can drain off Long Island sound; and with
many protests he seats her in the parlor
car, gives her new book and basket of
fruit, tips the poIter-who thereafter
hovers about Gladys, becoming quite
nuisance with his beneficent attentions
and finally leaves her, for business IS bust
ness, and John cannot return with his
pretty little wife, much as he would like TO.
How slowly pass the ho1irsl How the
train drags and delaysl Gladys hears one
gentleman say complacently to another:
''There is but one faster train than this in
the worldr' and feels like answering him
wildly: "That is falsehood-there are
none slowerl' When her patience is quite
exhausted and she feels that an hysterical
burst Of tears is imminent the cars roll
slowly into the depot, and she bounds
from her seat, dropping her novel and
tossing back her soft curls, which have
escaped from their fastenings even as she
now escapes from her prison car.
She foots It ever fair and young:
Her locks are tied in haste,
And one is DER her shoulder flung
And hangs below her waist.
Little cares she for discarded ntera-
ture or disheveled tresses. She takes the
first carriage she sees, and tells the driver
impatiently to hurry But he is evidently
In league with the railroad, for time lags
and eternity has commonwealth seems to
Gladys-before she reaches home.
She opens the door with her latch key,
and stands breathlessly No coo and gurgle
of baby talk, no laughter, no sound of
lullaby, not even what would be welcome
now, child's scream of anguish Any
thing, anything but this dreadful, intense
stiffness.
She dares not advance. Still standing
as If paralyzed. she does hear o sound. 1t
is step, and Johns sister comes tripping
toward her
"Why, Gladysp' she says in utter
establishment "How came you back SO
soon, and where is John, and why didn't
you stay longer, and"--
''Tell me" murmurs Gladys, chow is
the baby''
30, he's well He's asleep now"
s'Did he not get burnedT' she falters.
"Why, yes" after surprised pause.
''He pulled my cup Of tea over, and
scalded his arm slightly He cried for
right over and bandaged it with hamame-
lis, and now it is only Redeemed trife.'
They have been moving toward the
nursery while speaking, and now stand
by the side of the f1owerlike child.
''But how did you know about the acct
dents" asks the young lady.
Gladys bows herself over the dainty
crib; lighter than snowflake falls, she
takes the sleeping child into her tender
arms; his even breath stirs her hair; her
kisses like dew fall softly, softly upon his
silken head as she answers briefly: II
dreamed it,"
''Well," contemptuously remarks
Johns sister, 81 don't think such dream
as that is worth having Eleanor w. F.

Australian and South American Wool.

This wool can be delivered in Europe or
ia the United States for ten cents pound,
without duty. and still afford a large
profit. The worlds stock OF this product
Is several times as large annually az it
was when the tariff on wool was first
levied, aad the wool markets of the United
states could not fail to feel the effects,
even with protective tariff. To allow
this wool free entry into the United States
wouli be to utterly and Immediately an
initiate our own wool industry. Wool
would be cheaper for time, undoubt-
eddy, as the president says, but mutton
would be cheaper still Every sheep In
the country would be slaughtered forth
with Wool production to the extent of
800, 600, 600 pounds yearly would be wiped
out, but the 500, 600 900 annually paid to
American wool growers would he paid 10
foreign wool growers, and this country
would then DO at the mercy Of foreign
producers for its supply Of wool. What
the price would be then would depend
upon our necessities and their cupidity.--

Cleveland. "wool Pulling" Exposed.

There IS o tariff on wool and yet wool
Is cheaper than when there was no tariff.
That fact ought to be sufficient to explode
the whole free trade theory on the sub
feet. But the tariff itself has not male
wool cheap. One reason why wool Is
cheap Is because Of home competition pro-
NOTED by the tariff. This competition
has led to the production Of 800, 900, 600
of pounds annually and the distribution
OF $96, 0OO, 600 year among American
flock owners. Another reason why wool
Is cheap in this country, perhaps too
cheap for profitable production, Is because
the tariff was lowered so as TO let in
foreign wool The production of wool in
Australia end South America has grown
enormously in recent years. In these
countries millions Of sheep are slaughtered
every year for their wool and hides, and
they can be raised at trifiing expense -

Speaker Carlisle has shown his con-
tempt for civil service reform by appoint
ing as the chairman Of the committee on
reform in the civil service Mr. Clement,
of Georgia, who in the last congress sat
up nights to write out his views in opposi-
ton to civil service reform. He is the
chairman OF the new committee, and has
with him such coadjutors as Dargan, of
South Carolina, Rusk. one Of Mr.. Cor
mans lieutenants, Of Baltimore, and Mr..
Abbott, of Texas.

to call attention to the fact that the Con-
federacy is in the saddle, so far as the

mittees are concerned There are some
misguided districts in New England that
seat Democrats to the house, but it would
take microscope to find where these

HOW PROTECTED?

1t is put forth as a serious claim by
the Republican orators that the Dakota
farmer is protected by the 20 cents a
bushel tax on wheat. 1t is said that
without this the Manitoba and Canada
wheat would pour in and compete with
the Dakota product, to the great disad-
vantage of the producers of the latter.
There is no wheat brought to this cOun-
try from any part of the foreign world,
and consequently the impost can only
affect that grown in Canada. Of course
Il farmer in Manitoba is not going to
lose the 20 cents, and does not sell his
wheat in this country. 1t, how
ever, meets the American wheat
at Liverpool, where the prices
ara determined. Millions of bushels of
the Canadian grain are bought by Min
nesota millers, who convert it into flour,
milling in transit, and then send it on
its journey to the common market at
Liverpool, receiving back from the gov
eminent the 20 cents bushel they have
advanced on the wheat. The United
States government is at the expense
dH''S IIouole Vi dctluS dS tlelr agent,
with no advantage. If the Dakota
wheat grower is to be protected this
Canada wheat should be excluded, and
there would then be shortage of hard
wheat for milling purposes. But the
Dakota farmer would be laughed at if
he should ask for this sort of protection.
Still, Dakota has to pay some fifteen
millions each year as its share of the
tariff burden, with no benefit from it.
