The Truth About Prices.

Free trade organs with singular
unsuimity are setting forth editorially
the claim of higher prices aud enor-
mously advancing markets, while
their news columns and advertising
pages show WITH equ.l agreement that
the claim Is false. A firm some here
In the west has sent OFT u circular to
the effect that their prices must be
rsised. and some importer in the east
declares that the new tariff will com
pei him to charge much larger price
for his wares. Aud 70 the cry Is
started aud taken up by the free
traders all over the country with"u'
regard to market quotations or actual
prices. By consulting the latter
sources only are We enabled 10 get at
the truth. r. g. Dun & Co.'S weekly
Review Of Trade, October IS, -ays:
"The new tariff has caused an advance

the dry good aud clothing marke':

he seems 70 have inherited his grand

ously enough he is the picture of JefIer-

name is Franks always saying and
doing bright things. A year ago Mrs.
Madge Kendall spent the day with Mrs
FarjeOn, and the two ladies enjoyed
good old-fashioncd gossip all the after
noon; thew they discussed and criti-
cisod all their acquaintances was simply
a caution. Next day Master Frank re-
marked at dinner: Papa, have writ
ten out with the typewriter all that
mamma and Mrs. Kendall said yester-
day" And so the wretched child had;
all the scandal and gossip was repUrted
with shocking fidelity, and may be Mr..
Farjeon didn't have lovely time read
nC 1t aloud 20 his astounded spouse.
This experience taught Mrs Farjeon
erious lesson.
Not long ago the Farjeon children
went with their mother 70 service in one
Of the neighbOring churches where the
rector was an extreme rituGlist- Wearied
by all tho ceremony, little Joe Farjeon
finally whispered hoarsely 10 his mother,
when the sermon was about half through:
Come on, mamma, les 60; don't les
wait for the last act!"
The children write plays for their
grandpa. Very thrilling plays they are,
too. Grandpa Jefferson enjoys them
hugely, but one day, while reading one
one of these productions, he stopped and
asked: Frank, what do all these blanks
mean? There doesn't seem 70 be any
sense at all"
That's where you are 70 swear, grand

blank on purpose, because we knew you

"A Divorced - lie loses g &lb,GGn AtulEll
Hidden III Her EosoEi.
Why is it that the majority ot women
are SO afraid OF a bank? asks the New
York star. They are only satisfied with
money; checks, bauk-books, or other Cy-
idcncc of money DO not pleas" lhgm.
When / read about the woman q few
days ago who put her money under tho
waist OF her dress and thcn lost it, I
was reminded Of a similar loss, only of
q larger amount, which occurred in this
city a few years ago. Atuer much hti-
cation in the Supreme Court an ill-Uscd
wife got "a decree of divorce and about
$4,000 alimony. The lawyers and the
wife and her mother met in one Of the
small rooms Of the courthouse and set
tied. The husbands lawyer had a GER
titled check for the alimory, but the
wife wouldn't touch it; she wanted
money. In vain did her own counsel
assure her that the check was better
than money; 10 was so much safer. Her
husbands treatment Of her had been
cruel, and nc had fought her application
for divorce in such q moan way that sne
had come 70 distrust CvCry thing he
proposed. She believed that tho check
was trick, and she woulIr't GaVc l..
So the two lawyers went oua, got the
check Cashcd. and came back with the
money. She took it, carefully deposited
1T in her bosom, smilinEly observing
that no thieves could get hold cf i
there.
She and her mother left the courthouse
and took the Sixth avcnne elevated
for Forty y-socond street. When they got
home the money was gone. WomanElle,
creed the alimony could in some way
mako the loss good, and they rushed
back 70 tho courthouse and obtained an
interview with him. lie Is one Of the
tonderest-hCartcd men in the world, and
he has since described the meeting as
one of the mos. painful he ever had. the
loss Of the money rendered them ahao-
lutoly penniloss, and there were Two
children whose custody had been given
to the mother, the father being worth
less in every respect except peCuuiarily.
The wife cried and the mother sobbod.
The Judge explained 20 them that the
case was closed; that final Judgment
had bccn rendered and complied WITH
that thoy had insisted upon taking bills
instead ot "a certified check, which had
been offered 70 them, and that thcy had

TALK OF INFANTS
When Does the Language of Babies Be-

The Listener, of the Boston Tran
SCRIPT, mentions the case of a fond
mother OF his acquaintance who had a
remarkable baby, who, tho mother in
sists- says Mammals little girl" so dis
tinctIy that anybody in the world could
make it out And this is the way, eK-
actly, that the baby pronounces it:
aubble, hubble, hubble"
This is not nearly such plain English
as that used by friend OF the Listen
er's, now man and an honest and able
one, who, when he was two years old,
mystified the members OF his family by
calling out in-the imperative mood:
''Bixit, baxit, cloxit!"
All gathered round and tried hard TO
make out what the youngster meant.
But the most definite statement that
they could get out OF him was: "Bixit,
baxit, cloxit" AT last, by dint of a
good deal Of pantomime, the child got
them into the pantry and indicated a
particular place in 1t, and then his re-
mark translated itself to them. Wha

proach a Japanese lady (also dressed after

his hat with a pretty bow made in the

Nine. Chrysantheme, looking trife

however, that this troublesome head
piece declined TO yield, the poor, little
lady tugged at il hard with both hands;
but as all her exertions were unavail-
