who happened to be in his home as he
writes this paper for instances OF such
antidotes with which they are familiar.

elderly lady of intelligence, declares
that she was once induced to kill a

skin in the hope that thus her teeth
would be preserved from decay. The

lived on Cape Cod, that was persuaded
by colored physician to bind a live

Jack listened quietly, and then with

left standing in the furrow.
A year passed away, and with 1t
poor Jacks bright hopes of the future.
A hundred dollars that Mr.. Gibbons
had placed in the desk in the room adj

and circumstances pointed suspiciously
towards him as the thief. Though ODE
dent and tractable, the boy was high
spirited, and resented, as base, any in
situations that called his honesty in
question. His indignant denial would
have had much weight with the consci-
entious farmer had not Ben, the Glib
bons' baby, asserted boldly that he had
seen Jack ''fooling round the desk more
than once"
In the eyes Of the parents this proof
was conclusive, besides 1t accounted for
tho many petty thefts that, in the last
few months, had sorely puzzled the
worthy couple. The soul Of honor him

any departure from rectitude, especially
in one for whom he had done SO much.
The result Of the trouble was that Jack
packed up what few things he needed
for Q change, and went out from the
home where his happiest days had been
spent.

q poor, friendless orphan" he said, as
he took mother Gibbons hand at par

and consumptive tendencies Jack made
a good soldier and came out Of the

had sheltered his boyhood, he went

Not so kindly did the four years OF
warfare deal with the poor old farmers
lads. for when the boys in blue came
marching home, not one OF the stall
wart sons who had gone forth TO battle
walked in tho ranks George and Ben
had come home IL pine collins many
days before. while Dan was left sleeping
beneath the bright Southern skies.
After Jack had gone away Ben gained
his fathers consent to become soldier,
but before a year had passed he sick

taken upon him self the theft that had
sent the orphan boy alone into the world.
More than score Of years afterwards
an irresistible desire TO look upon the
faces OF the friends of his youth sent
Jack back to catch glimpse Of the old

The boy grieved over his uncle's heart

and his good wife agreed to give him a
home among their own noisy boys and
girls.
The neighbors shook their heads
wisely, doubling the wisdom OF the
step, but when they demonstrated with
Mr.. Gibbons and pointed out the dan
ger Of trusting to one Of whose ancestors
he knew nothing, he replied: II am only
doing for this strange lad what l would
wish others to do for my boys, were they

The years passed on and Jack became

in the fruitful season and tramping
across the woods to school in the winter.
Jack Shepherd is good boy, and well

say. proudly, whenever the boys capa-

could scarcely be persuaded that he was

when it was told him that his oldest
boy had headed the list of volunteers,
he said. with tears streaming down his
sunburnt cheeks: God bless you, Dan.

Free Sugar and n Bounty.

The action of the Mckinley commit
tee in putting raw sugar on the free list
is to be highly commended. When this
results in cheaper sugar for the millions.
as it certainly will, the users of sugar
will be asked to decide whether the
tariff is a tax; and If they find that itisa
tax, they may see that tariff is good
thing-good tOget rid of as fast as posi-
BILE. This is the kind of education that
not only saves money to the consumer,
but also prepares him for intelligent
views and wise action in the future. a
most valuable part of the education
will come from the bounty which the
bill gives to the sugar-growers. The
bill provides that the growers shall re-
ceive from the United States treasury
two cents a pound on all tho sugar they
produce. This will lift from the
treasury each year the neat little
sum Of seven million dollars, and
still larger sum as the
bounty-fed sugar-growers multiply in
number and add to their acres. When
the people see this sum flowing out Of
the treasury every year 10 pay the sugar
growers for doing their own work, they
will begin to see that 1t is all huge
piece of folly. If the sugar-grower is to
be paid by the Government, why not the
corn-growers also, and the wheat-grow-
ers and the cotton-growers? Then why
not pay everybody for doing his own
work?
But that would be piece of gigantic
socialism such as few intelligent men
are ready to saction. Besides bankrupt
ing the treasury it would bankrupt the
self-reliant American character. 1t is
good doctrine that every man should de-
pend on his own strong arm, rather than
lean on the strong arm of the Govern
ment.
Every system Of bounties and every
form OF protection tells man to rely on
the Government rather than on himself
And there is socialism.
