RAY HAMILTON, one of New York Is
bIooded gentlemen, and q young man
Of culture and wealth, was as easily
victimized by designing woman as
any country tout would have been. By
the aid of a woman7s finesse,, and an
infant purchased for $40 at the found
ling hospital, which she persuaded him
was his, she entrapped him into dis
graceful marriage.
How delightfully."- encouraging to us
it should be to know that Mexico is
about to increase her tariff duties on
cattle, hogs and meat. It should be
especially gratifying to the Kansas
stock raiser, whose faith in the home
market idea is strong enough to move
mountains. Well we shall see if this
protection move in Mexico will help
him very much in moving his farm
mortgage.

maker succeeded. it sounded trifie
Burchardish, to say the least of it.

the west advising stockraisers to I
81 mand restoration of the tariff
TX hides. The reason assigned for sue
NJ move is that the removal of the ia
n duties on hides in 1888 is the cause
the decline in the price of cattle.
10 course the inference is that if
duty is restored the price of cattle '
81 be restored to the old figure or sor
