yards till he came to clump of mimosa
bush that was situated between the
stream and the ancient marble quarries
just above the waterfall and at the
mouth of the ravine. Here he stopped,
and heard him give startled cry. 1
rushed to the spot, passed through the
trees and saw this. The little open
space in the center of the glade had
been the scene of > struggle. There, in
the soft earth, were the marks of three
human feet-two shod. one naked
Stella's, Tota's and Hendricks. Nor was
this all. There, close by, lay the frag-
ments of the two dogs-they were
nothing more-and one baboon, not vet
quite dead, which had been bitten in
the throat by the dogs. All around US
was the spoor of numberless balloons.
The full horror of what had happened
flashed into my mind.
My wife and Tota had been carried off
by the balloons. As yet they had not
been killed, for, if so, their remains
would have been found with those of the
dogs. They had been carried off. The
brutes, acting under the direction of the
woman-monkey, Hendrika, had dragged
them away to some secret den, there to
keep them till they died-or kill them!

A WANDERERS LAMENT.


Drearily means the night wind,
Dismally falls the rain,
YEARLY cresks the shutter
Against the window-pane.
Alone with saddened memories
sit in the dim fire light,
And would give the world to press
My baby's cheek tonight.
Her eyes they are the biuest,
They'd shame the very skye
Her cheeks are wind blown roses
Through which the June winds sigh,
Her hair is tangled sunbeams,
Her mouth too sweet by half,
And would give the world tonight
To hear my bsby's laugh.
Last night dreamed saw her;
Her face was radiant fair.
But when tried TO clasp her
She vanished into air;
Her laugh was Just as merry
As from her lips 1t fell
But, alas her golden rlnglets
Were crowned with asphodel.

A freak Of fancy's fight,

Dismally falls the rain.

In feeding beets, turnips, rutabagas,

less, so they can be easily handled by

To do this by hand knife process is too
slow and tedious However, where the

of Bryn Mawr College for women, has
recently returned from summer tour
of the principal educational cities Of
Europe, where she has been inspecting
the methods of imparting instruction,

education of women. She says she was
disappointed in finding the work in En-

work done in the women's colleges at
Oxford is only open to women, and not
advanced in its character While at
Oxford the medical degree was thrown
open to women. In parts of Switzer-

consequence is that all women who wish

He Met With . Very Serious Misfortune
Up Stairs.

One day when wholee'bus full Of us
drove up to hotel in Lynchburg, Va,
says the New York Sun, the landlord re-
membered that he had drummer from
New York who had been suffering ter
ribly with toothache for two or three days.
He had tried every remedy known to map,
except that Of having it pulled, but moth
ing had availed him. He said he hoped
some one of us might be able to suggest
something, and slowly added:
''Gentlemen, have heard that sudden
shock to mans nervous system would
sometimes cure the worst case Of tooth
ache. Can't you plan something:"
Six or eight of us got together in the
reading room, and it was finally decided
that man named Simms, who turned out
to be patent-medicine advertiser, should
60 up to the room and startle the New
Yorker. He was to do it by claiming to
have seen dispatch to the effect that his
wife had run away with another man.
We thought that ought to cure his tooth
ache if anything would.
''HOw big man is he!' asked the dele
gate when ready to 60 up.
''Oh, he's rather understood" replied
the landlord. "If he should get upon his
ear you can easily slam him all over the
ROOM"
The medicine man went up. We fol-
lowed, and stood at the coor to hear the
result. He found the New Yorker groan-
ing like sick horse, and, after intrOdu-
cling himself, he said:
''Sorry for You, old fellow; particularly
at this time, but have bad news for YOU"
"No!" exclaimed the other, sitting up
in bed.
'.Be calm, old boy. It's about your
wife.''

There was wild yell. followed by
several whOOps and crash. Then the
medicine man fell into the hall, and a
wild figure dragged him up and down, and
mopped him around, and made bear fOd-
der of him. 1t was five minutes before
we could get him off and get his victim
away. We carried the latter into sample
room, stretched him out OH the table, and
had sponged his face for the third time
when he opened his eyes.
''How do you feel nOw?" asked one Of
the boys.
"Queer. What's happened:''
"1Ou went in to see the New Yorker"
"Oh, yes. He had the toothache.''

interested in an equitable adjustment of
our tariff system. The Indifference they
have shown to that question and the ease
with which they have been led away
from sober consideration of their needs
and their rights as related to this quest
ion, haye excited my surprise.
Struggle as they may our farmers must
continue TO be purchasers and consumers
of numberless things enhanced in cost by
tariff regulations. Surely they have the
right to insist that this cost shall not be
increased for the purpose of collecting
unnecessary revenue or to give undue ad
vantage to domestic manufacturers.
The plea that infant industries need the
protection which impoverishes the farm
er and consumers is, in view of our nat
ional advantages and the skill and in
genuity of our people, hollow pretext.
Struggle as they may our farmers can
not escape the conditions which fix the
price of what they produce and accord
ing to the rates which prevail in foreign
markets flooded with the competition of
contries enjoying a freer exchange of
trade than We.
The plausible presentation of the bless
ings of a home market should not deceive
our oppressed and impoverished agri
cultursts. There Is no market for them
which does no; take its instructions from
the seaboard, and the seaboard trasmits
the word of the foreign markets.
Because my conviction that there
should be a modification of OUr tariff
laws rose principally from an appreciat-
ion of the wants of the vast army of con
sumers, comprising CIR farmers, our art
isans and our workingmen and because
their condition has led me to protest
against present imposltiors am especial
ly glad to see those sections of my fel-
low countrymen arousing themselves to
the importance of tariff reform. Yours
very truly,
