At these words Paula was beside herself with
JOY and danced about the room, clapping her
little hands and wishing that New Years day
had already come.
Very well, my darlings," said Uncle Felix
solemnly; IAN unbreaksble baby it shall be,
and the largest one that money can buy. What
an altogether charming family you'll make, to
be sure"
The moment Pierre Pujol had eaten some
warm food he felt his courage come back with
his strength. and he determined to make one
more visit to the agency. To his great joy they
informed him that one Of the large establish
ments was in urgent need Of trustworthy men
to act as porters for the few remaining days OF
the old year to assist in carrying packages to
their destination: that although the work would
doubtless be hard, yet the pay would be good.
Pujol took the address, presented himself forth
with and made such favorable impression
upon the clerk in charge that he was at once
accepted and set to worg. In truth. it was
hard work, tramping from one end of Paris to
the other loaded down like pack horse with
bundles and packages; but what would he not
have undergone for the sake of those little
loved ones at home? Now they would at least

after making his sixth resolution to get up.

"Well, this is just too badr' exclaimed little
Paula de Courcy as she turned away from the
window, where she had been pressing her
pretty face against the pane for nearly an hour.
Just see. mamma, what a beautiful New Years

The precise umbrella has an erect rigid
ness of poise that turns neither to the right nor

The cautious umbrella has covert. shoulder.

The calculating umbrella has weigh-and-

The irascible umbrella jerks through the
moving mass of its kind with a rampant air OF
general unsteadiness that people pause to
ruffie their brows at.
The good-natured umbrella has an ambIine
slowness of movement, a rest-on-oars look,
that seems to contemplate its fellows as sub
jects for laughter.
The bound-to-get-there umbrella has a steady.
determined movement that brushes and col

with such q wild cry OF joy, accompanied by so
loud clapping of hands, that Martina and Jane
came rushing out into the corridor to see what
the matter was.

happy Paula. II knew that my beggarman

But, mamma, Mr.. Beggarman looks cold.
Mayn't we take him in out Of the chilly CORR.
dor and give him something warm to drink?''
Madame de Courcy stammered out few
words of apology for her thoughtlessness, and
Pujol was led into the warm drawing room by
little Paula, closely followed by Martha and
Jane. A glass of wine helped the poor man to
collect his thoughts. Madame de Courcy was
anxiously awaiting the explanation OF his
strange utterances in reference to forgiveness
at her hands.
Pujol saw this and fastened to complete the
tale OF his wanderings and to relate how he
had found work as porter, how he had left the
package in his room while he went back to the
shop to get his pay, his narrow escape from

The bank clerk tried to speak, but the words

they disappeared in the distance. Once or
twice his little angel Paula looked back at him.
Then he lost sight Of them entirely.
IL WAS evident that the gentleman, whom the
children had addressed as Uncle Felix had
been visiting the shops with his three little
nieces in hopes that they might make choice Of
what they wanted for New Years presents.
But IT bad been a fruitless task. for when they
reached home there seemed to be quite as little
chance as ever of their making up their minds.
Even when Martha and Jane, the two eldest,
reached a conclusion. Paula was ready with all

over again.

How wonderful is Death,
death, and his trother Sleep.
Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1890-04-29

The Philadelphia Press correspon-
dents have been polling the members
of Congress 10 see what would be the
probable fate OF the Mckinley Tariff
bill, and they find that the bill will
become law, but that it may yet be
subjected TO some alteration on speci-
fed articles. As between the McKiu-
ley bill and no bill at oil, or rather to
have no remodeling OF the tariff, the
bill would pass In its entirety without
alteration. There never has been =
time when moro attention has been
given 10 the revision of the tariff. The
one idea has been 10 protect and not
iDjure any business. Individual opin-
ions in many instances had to be laid
aside for tho good OF the whole.
There were Republicans who wanted
free wool, but there were more who
wanted it protected, and the first sur
rendered to the latter. There were
many who wanted Q tax on sugar. but
more who did not, and therefore sugar
comes In free, but o bounty is 10 be
given to those who raise sugar at
home. Free hides was another rock
upon which the party for some time
threatened 10 split, but the danger has
been avcrted by wise concessions.
This country did not produce enough
bides for the consumption OF the trade,
and consequently they were put on the
free list. This was positively de-
manded by the New England States.
AS the bill now stands it will get the
votes OF about the usual contingent of
Democrats. enough at least to make
up the loss Of a couple OF Republicans
who will vote against 1t, and one or
two more who are considered doubtful.
Amidst all there is an evident determi-
nation that the bill shall pass
The efforts to pass one will not be
aborlive like the Morrison and Mills
bills SUCCESSFULLY, and the probabilities
are that it will be the most popular
tariff bill passed by any Congress. The
Ways and Means Committee deserve
the thanks of the country for giving
the matter such careful consideration,
aud the production of bill formulated
in the true interests of the people. To
such great extent has this intention
been adhered to TO report bill that
would foster our home industries, that
it might, with great truth, be called a
tariff reform bill, and Republicans be
called tariff reformers instead of pro
tectionists.
In this respect the production of the
Ways and Means Committee conforms
strictly 70 the recommendation of
President Harrison, who called atten.
tiun Ia the fac. that in revising the
tariff il would he mistaken notion
ior the party leaders 10 keep their eyes
fixed too steadily upon the Treasury,
and not to watch with care the effect
OF any revision of the tariff upon our
home producers, no matter whether
they represented manufacturing, agri-
cultural or mining interests. In short,
the bill is such that II will he sup
ported by all true friends of tariff re-
form, who are not isctional partisans
above everything else and tree traders
pure and simple.
