She ONLY Wanted to Kiss 1t.

The other day a little s. year old
girl called at Broadway toy store and
asked if they had any little dolls for a
cent. A pretty little earthenware doll
was handed out, and the little girl took
it in her tiny hands, gazed into the dolls
face as if admiring its beauty and then
raised it to her lips and gave it a fervent
kiss. Il juss wanted to kiss little dolly
--dat's all wanted, and she handed the
little image back to the astonished sales
man and trippled lightly out upon the
busy street with beaming smile of
satisfaction. II Chelsea Record.

A metaphor is always what its name
implies-a transfer of attention from
one thing to another. Therefore, it is
always an interruption to the thought,
and in that fact lies the danger of the
use OF it, OF course, the same remark
Is still more applicable to the smile.
These are worse than superfiuites when
not productive of one of the following
results: They may serve for resting
places. SO old Homer used them, his

Gays, "A metaphor is no argument,
though it is sometimes the gunpowder
to drive one home and imbed it in the
man, and gives illustration elsewhere

moods to man "diligently intent on

UNPROTECTED Labor.

Manufacturers always go to Washing
ton and ask for higher duties in the in
terest Of their labor. How does it happen
that congress found it necessary to pro-
tect labor from these same manufao-
turers by passing the contract labor law
to prevent them from hiring the "cheap
pauper labor Of Europe" and bringing it
here to compete with American labor?
In some Of the mining towns Of Penn
sylvania the census enumerators found
these "pauper laborers' wearing their
number on their clothing. They are en-
tered by numbers on the books Of the
company for which they work, their
names being 80 far beyond our spelling
and pronunciation as to form an agony
uncomfortable to the bookkeeper. It is q
well known fact that this is the most
degraded and the worst paid labor in the
United States. Has any Of these cheap
laborers ever been refused employment
on the ground that he was too cheap,
and that the manufacturer or mine
owner did not wish to let~him compete
with the higher priced American labor?
The truth is that manufacturers and
mine owners employ the cheapest labor
they can get, provided only that it be
efficient. Nobody can justly blame them
for that. Every employer, by the nat
ural laws of competition, is compelled to
get as good terms as possible in procur-
ing labor. The employer is compelled to
act on this principle. But then he should
not 80 to Washington and ask for higher
duties "to protect labor" when he knows
perfectly well that the labor market is
open to the widest competition, that he
himself will hire the cheaper labor, al
though when this cheaper labor was in
Europe he held it up to the country.as q
great bugbear, as the "pauper labor"
which must not be allowed to compete
with American. labor.
taboring men know we'll enough that
it is through organization that they get
better wages, and that no case has yet
been found where protected mannfact-
arer raised wages on the ground that
congress had raised his protective duties.
Many cases, on the other hand, can be
cited where higher duty has actually
been followed by a reduction Of wages

IRRIGATION.

The uncertainty connected with the raising
Of crops in this part Of North Dakota, has
revive d the question of the necessity o.
irrigation to ensure good results. 49,.
We would therefore urge those who
have heretofore interested themselves
in tn subject TO renew their interest which
had Jagged because Of the supposition that
the rain fall this year, being greater than
for several years past. would be sufficient
to secure good crops. Bitter experience
has shown otherwise and consequently if
anything is ever to be made out Of this ror-
tion Of the country, the hand and brain Of
man must come in 70 supplement the de-
fects Of nature. .....
We are requested to call attention TO q
convention 70 meet At Aberdeen 8. d on
the Goth inst to take such action as may be
deemed advisable. Too late TO attend but
will await developments; in the meantime
il would be well IL the farmers wonld by

attention Of our representatives in congress
