Spoiled His Appetite.

He was a tall old mon with sparsely
settled whiskers that afforded ample
playground for the wind, and he glided
into a restaurant as though he had come
straight from the Grand Central Station
and was still little dazed by the crowd
and the noise. He selected seat, or
dered an oyster stew, and as he quietly
awaited its coming, the door opened and
man of enormous height strollcd in.
The old man looked at the newcomer in
complete amazement. He took in the
copious proportions from sole to crown,
and leaning over whispercd:

The old man had scarcely begun work
upon his luncheon when little creature
not three feet high, but wearing a heavy
mustache and plenty of jcwelry, walked
down the room, climbed into a chair and
ordered chops and beer. The stew was
neglected. With mouth open and eyes
fairly popping out with wonder, the old
man studied his new neighbor. At length
the demands of the inner man were too
clamorOus to withstand, and the owner
Of the stew began the work Of slowing IL
away. He had scarcely devoured two
oysters, however, when there was another
arrival. A middle-sized man came in
lie had countenance completely devoid
Of expression, hair and expression Ms
white as snow, and pink eyes A look
Of horror came over the old mans face.
and his spoon felt into the stew with a
splash
"Geewhittakcr," he exclaimed, 'ifthe

Sedus Point quick enough, and before
cashier or walters could stir, the old man
shot ont Of the door into the street, lcav-

of the present age is the admiration
which Japan has for the United States.
Forty years ago they were an isolated
community, keeping themselves careful

day their clothing, institutions, WAYS

FALLACY.

bill agreed upon by the committee of con-
ference.
The manufacturers o. sugar In the Uni
ted States will be paid bounty of cents
per pound on all sugar testing not less
than ninety degrees by the polaIiseope
made from beets, sogrhum, cane and maple
aap within the United States, and all sugar

less than eighty degrees, bounty OF Y

And all sugars imported below the line
OF sixteen Dutch standard will be free OF

that all sugars above number 10 in color
shall pay Ito of a cent per pound In addi'
tion TO the rate provided for when export
ed or Is the product of any other country.
-Rose6Srg P!aiadsaiey.
Here Is stupendous fallaey. I, is not
difficult to understand how the sugar
makers of this country are protected under
the Mckinley bill. This is not disputa-
bic proposition, because the duty and boun-
~ together provided for in that bill more
than equals the present duty. But. that
consumers are protected by tits too absurd
for serious consideration. The two cents
must be added to the sugar when the con-
sumer buys as the government has to paw
this bounty out of the peoples money. So
the consumers of the country are taxed TO
pay the sugar manufacturers a bounty up.
on their work. And even the maple
sugar makers, who have been making that
article for two hundred years In New Eng
and without bounty, are now to receive
one and the consumer Is taxed to pay Il.
