Written for THE EVENING STAR.
On the Beach.

Down on the beach we rode at even;
Sunlight still on the white sands cleaned:
The blue OF ses and the blue Of heaven
Mixed with the gold of the suns last beam
The tide was out and the sand hills dreary
Stretching away by the wave-kissed shore,
Lay like wanderers, worn and weary,
Soothed TO rest by the oceans roar
Out whore the horizons misty curtain
Dipped its edge in the purple sea
sailed with motion slow, uncertain.
hite-winged bark. like a ses-bird free.
Far in the west snowy cloud bank,
Fretted with gold and crimson bars
Reared Its castled turrets proudly
Upward toward the evening stars
On the sands where the great white surees
Dashed their foam wreathed heads in glee.
Or mournfully chanted dreary dirges,
Ayouthful pair rode merrily.
She with hair like golden glory
And blushing cheeks like rpened peach.
Listened with smiles 10 the old, old story
Her lover whispered that night on the beach,
What cared they for the radiant splendor
VI tinted clouds or Of sunset skies.
The music Of waves was not 30 tender
As his voice or the light Of her sparkling eyes.
What to them was the wild commotion
of emerald waves on a rocky shore?
Bearer by far was the thought that life's ocean
Together they'd sail forevermore.

Wicked Trick on q Trout Fisher.

them in their wagon and then went off
to look after some bear traps. While
they were gone DR.. Boyd happened along,
and recognizing The team proceeded to
purioin the trout. He took them to Mr..

he came by them, and requested her to

day and surprise her husband meantime
she would probably hear a good fish story,

ed home, his story, in reply to his wife's
Inquiries, as to his luck, was fully up to
the expectation of the plotters. He said
they had caught forty. eight trout, and
most of them were of monstrous size, in
fact, the finest string he ever saw, but
some evil minded person had stolen them
from the team while they were absent,
and 30 on. When his wife produced

Major is somewhat of a sportsman, and
likes nothing better than to take dogs
and gun and sally forth in search of

he is good shot, but his sister is equally
expert, and she is at once the wonder
and admiration of Washington County
for her prowess with the breech, loader.
Day after day bird-shooting parties
were organized during her visit, and at
the close of each days sport the lady had
invariably more birds to her credit than
her brother, the Major, or any of his
friends, and she gained them honestly,
for like a true sportsman or sportswomsn,
she scorned 10 take them other than on
the wing.
On Monday last grand deer hunt, to
which many of the neighboring gentry,
aportsmen all of them, were invited, was
organized. After breakfast the gay party
started out With big expectancy and de-
termiued not to return without some
token of their prowess. The canebrakes
reached, the dogs were turned loose, the
various hunters took their respective

naturally seek to escape the drive, and
waited in patience.
Soon the baying of the hounds an

the hunters concealed themselves, await

only to the sportsman for sight Of their
prey. As luck would have it, the dugs
had started fine buck, which sought to
escape, running toward the stand guard
ed by Mrs. Sedwick and her brother.

from the visible and audible foes in the
rear, all unconscious of the hidden dan

ing her ability to bring down the nobler
game, got ready his weapon, but before
he could bring it TO bear Mrs Sedwick
pulled the trigger, there was puff of
smoke, report, and the magnificent
four.point buck, with one leap in the air,
fell dead.
The shot was the signal that brought
together the scattered hunters, The
days hunt was declared over. The game
was taken home, dressed and eaten at q

The People Must Pay.

It is easy enough to say dognatically
that increased tariff duties do not mean
increased prices to the consumer, that
"the foreigner pays the tax" and that
local competition in the home market
keeps the actual cost within reasonable
limit.
But there is no argument so potent or
convincing as the cold facts, the World
presents in other columns, and if there
were any real room for doubt on the
subject before, there is none now. Some
of the truths readily deduced from the
admirably arranged comparative tables
may be summarized briefly.
The tax on shotguns was increased by
the imposition of specific duty Of from
81 to $6 each. The price has advanced
S. on all standard grades.
An additional specific duty of 10 cents
a yard WAS placed on ginghams. The
price has advanced 30 per cent.
Under the old tariff the ad val0rem duty
on plush garments was 40 per cent.
Now it is 80. The retail price has ad.
vanced from ST to 81 on each garment.
Only one firm in this country makes
these goods. 1t has promptly raised
prices to jobbers from 10 to Is per cent.
Linen goods and velvets have gone up a
like amount. The Amoskeag Company
also has raised the price of prints one.
fourth of cent yard. That this com.
pany needed further protection for its
insant industry" is clearly shown by the
fact that its net profits last year were
enly $471 1924 Next year they will be
