Oh, Mary! wish might see you now. shall never be quite my own man again until the light of your sweet eyes has shone on me once more. An, me! if it were possible. We'll, and why not?''

No, I could not speak to MT. Bruce, though it was certainly my duty to do so. But after thinking over the matter all night and part of the next day I did something which, from one point of view, required more audac- ity still. Iwrote to Mary. Iwrote her long, passionate, imploring letter, beg

 the morning passed away and the after

 Mrs. Swatman came in with mysteri- ous air.
 "A lady to see you. sir."

 Judges who've had peep at the getting ready say the like for variety and richness hasn't been seen in Springfield.
 A Japanese Department is the latest thing here. Novel; ties, gew-gaws, bright bits for decoration, etc. The Japs can teach almost anybody a trick or two in prettyfying. We ex- pect to do the business here as well as they do in Yokohama. We pride ourselves on Plain Dress Goods as much as novel, ties. Take fine imported goods, 46 inch:
 69 colors of Henrietta, T5c and $1
 4s colors of serge, SIX cents
 55 cOlors of Cashmere, 76c and $l You can put in half a day among the dress goods and see a new delight between every breath. Write for samples, if you so prefer.
 You are the loser, though, if you fail to look at the Robe Novelties. Beauties! Nature in flower, fern, and sea-weed figures and forms of the imagi- nation. Here is one in ten col ors: Soft twilled stuff with plush and velvet decorations finished in bright silks. SIS. The effect, the exclusiveness, warrants more price, but we don't do business that way.
 Over fifty styles of Robes from $12.5o to SIS. Black Dress Goods have taken on new beauties also. Its surprising what grace a band o1 Ottoman, or cord, ,or camels-hai1 effects gives to the somberest stuff. One of the new All Blacks is of soleil rayetine weave with dime to quarter size satin coin-spots just far enough apart to give distinguished air. $1 4O-inch Remember the Opening, September 25 ant 26.

country just north Of here at o O'CLOCK
yesterday afternoon carrying death and
destruction In its path. The storm or
iginated at point four miles directly
north of here, and moved northeasterly
toward White Bear, covering a country
accessible only to teams and reports
come in slowly. 1t Is certain there are
at least eleven persons killed, and a
large number seriously injured. The
storm center was at Kopelands lake at
the large stock farm of James ]. Hill,
president of the Great Northern road,
and to these points
Three Ambulances Have Been Sent
accompanied by force of ten surgeons.
Telegraphic communication with White
Bear is cut off and as thousands of ex-
cursionists went out during the day the
stations are crowded with anxious
friends Three bodies have been brought
in from Lake Servias. Thestorm came
on with fearful suddeness and was in
plain view from this city. The cottages
of Messrs. Schurmeier and Good, on
Lake Gervaise were totally destroyed by
the cyclone and five killed and ten in
jured.

Aggregating. g.......

Note-This does not include long list q
articles wholly partially manufactured for us,
| as materials In the manufactures and mechanic
arts" amounting to S84 9a2, ,085 in which the item
Of labor enters very largely.
In many Of these the labor involved
counting not merely the last process OF
manufacture, but also the labor expended
in producing the raw material alone, ex-
elusive Of that spent on plant, tools, ETC.,
equals so to 90 per cent. of the gross
value Usually half their aggregate
value Is made up of labor of the last pro-
cess only, exclusive of the labor pre-
viously expended on raw materials, plant,
tools, etc. On this reasonable basis the
money paid by this country into the
pockets Of foreign workmen for work on
that 'last process Of manufacture, with
which the census deals, amounts to the
enormous sum of $64, 4,S16, ,5S5. If to this
we add the work done on the raw ma
terials, plant, implements, etc., the total
rises to within about or 8 per cent. Of
the selling value of the product, or say
1926, 200, 900.
1t is not only true that American
worlfingmen could have just as we'll per-
formed the labor for which foreigners
have been paid this vast sum; 1t is also
true that many Of them needed the
money thus sent abroad. and THAT some
Of them have remained idle because
work to which they were accustomed
and could best perform was not to be
had. We do not often enough consider
that every time we import n ton of for
eign goods we import three or four tons
of the foreign food which has entered
into the diet of the workers who made
those goods. To import foreign iron is
therefore to import foreign wheat ma
nipulated into iron. 1t is the importation
of breadstuffs, provisions, fuel and even
the house rent of foreign houses, for to
import the product is to find market
here for its whole cost of production.

AFERRY LANDING STAGE COLLAPSES
WHILE CROWDED.

HALIFAX, N. S., July 12.-At Dart
mouth last night the ferry landing
stage, while crowded with about 100
persons, collapsed and they were thrown
into the water, causing a large loss of
life. Four bodies have so far been re-
covered. The disaster was caused by
the slipping out of place of the chain
which held the float up. The front part
of the float was thus dropped suddenly
down, throwing the occupants into the
water. Later accounts place the num-
Der of people on the float at 500 Many
were drowned, but the exact number Of
fatalities cannot be known at present.
Names of Those Thus Far Recovered:
Miss Bessie, daughter of Edward Foster
Peter Boyle. a Crimean veteran.
Miss Allie. daughter Of Michael Synott-
John Bundy, a colored boy.
The crowd, made up Of men, women
and children, were waiting for the new
ferry steamer Annex, which was Just az
irving from New York. As the boat ap-
preached near the landing some persons
jumped aboard. The disturbance thus
caused to the overcrowded landing stage
is said to have caused the accident, at
least it was just at this moment that
the slump occurred and the hundreds of
people on the stage began to slide down
into the water, those nearest the end be-
ing buried beneath those further back,
until there was a solid mass of shrek
ing, struggling humanity packed as
closely in the water as they had been on
the docks. For some minutes there was
a confused crowd of men, women and
children struggling in the water. A
dozen
Young Men Leaped to the Rescue
and the drowning people were rapidly
passed up to men on the wharves. The
work of rescue was so rapidly performed
that great majority of those who fell
in were saved from death. The rescuers
worked until exhausted, helping the
people to land until there were no more
in sight and those who could not be
saved had sunk out of sight When all
the bodies in sight had been brought to
land the work of graphing for the
drowned ones was commenced. Within
two hours after the accident four bodies
had been recovered, but up to midnight
no other victims had been found. It is
believed that at least three or four
others were lost.

Let the Money Sent Abroad Be Given to
Our Own Worhmen.
Those workngmen who feel the pincl,
Of dull times and slack demand should
seek a remedy for their troubles by sup
porting a fiscal policy which compels the
largest possible amount of work to be
done in this country. Enough money is
paid every year by the American people
to foreign workmen to give full work at
fair wages to every man in this country
now out Of employment. Every dollar
sent abroad for articles which could be
produced at home, to the extent of the
labor represented in such articles, is just
so much withheld from workingmen in
this country. Glance over a list of i'm
ports for recent year, and figure up the
millions of dollars sent from the United
States to Europe, and estimate how
much of this would have been distrib-
uted among American workingmen if
they had been protected in their right to
supply the markets of their own coun-
try. The following list leaves out a
number of minor articles which would
largely swell the aggregate.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Morals and manners give color TO life.
1t matters not how long we live, but
how.
Truth and reason are common to ev-
cry one.
He loses nothing that keeps God for
his friend.
The dignity of truth is lost with much
protesting.
Every one can master a grief but he
that has it.
He that liveth wickedly can hardly
die honestly.
He loses his thanks who promiseth
and delayeth.
Contention for trihing can get but a
trifing victory.
Recall every day one good thought
read one fine line.
He that iveth not well one year sor-
rows for it seven.
When a resolution is once formed half
the difficulty is over.
The vicious obey their passions as
slaves do their masters.
There is a remedy for every wrong,
and satisfaction for every soul.
Will is the root, knowledge the stem
and nerves, and feeling the flower.
We have all of us sufficient fortitude
to bear the misfortunes of others.
Hear twice before you speak once. He
dances well to whom fortune pipes.
The sure way to be cheated is to fancy
ones self more cunning than others.
In your business transactions, be as
careless of taking credit as of giving it.
We may owe it to our enemies to for
give; we owe it to ourselves not to forget.
He is wise man who speaks little.
He is proper who hath proper conditions
He has not learned the lesson of life
who does not every day surmount fear.

STEAMER WRECKED.
THIRTEEN PERSONS ARE
REPORTED DEAD.
A COLUMN OF SMOKE AND A WHIRL-
WIND OF FLAME.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The steamer Tioga.
of the Erie Transportation company,
was badly wrecked by an explosion at
7:45 o'clock yesterday evening while
lying at her dock, at Randolph street
and the river. 1t is reported that thir-
teen people are killed, but at present
that report cannot be verified. The ex-
plosion was terrific one and column
of smoke shot 200 feet into the air, sue
ceeded second later by a whirlwind of
flame, which illumed bridges, buildings,
water and spars in a fearful nature.
The startled crowds rushed to the river
banks, docks and bridges and soon the
scene was thronged with an immense
crowd. A general fire alarm had been

were pouring into the hold of the big
iron boat through the gaping hole amid

The Flames Poured in a Torrent.
The Tioga, which was one of the
largest and finest propellers on the lakes,
is badly wrecked, her upper works being
nearly blown away and her wooden
work badly burned. At 10 o'clock the
fire was so far under control that the
search for the victims of the explosion
was begun. Three bodies were soon
brought out, blackened and mangled.
They were apparently the remains of
unfortunate members of the steamers
crew. caught aboard at the time of the
explosion. When the explosion occurred
there were between ten and fifteen men
in the fantail of the boat, while scores
of others We're forward. There were
also several stevedores on the dock and

poor fellow fell into the river. but was
rescued unconscious and cared for. The
explosion did much damage to surround
ing buildings, and windows were broken
nearly half a mile away. Up to mid
night seven dead and wounded men had
been taken from the boat, and it was
then believed that not more than eight
others were in the hold. These men are
doubtless dead, as ten fire engines have
poured tons of water into the big hole
just above the spot where they were at
work at the time of the explosion. It
will be at least another day before the
water can be pumped from the hold and
the bodies recovered. There is good
reason to believe that the explosion was
caused by gas generated from oil barrels
which were stored near the fantail. So
far as learned the following are the
names of the persons taken from the
wreck:
