A Little Story from Real Life That
 Carries a Moral.
 When you got married to the brightest and best girl in the county, where did you look for that notice that meant SC much to you, and so little to nearly everybody else? To your Home Paper.
 When your home was invaded by the blue eyed girl, or the bouncing baby boy to whom did you make it your business to convey early information as to the sex the time and the weight? To the editor of that Home Paper.
 In after years, when some manly young fellow takes the blue eyed girl tc a home of his own, or your once bounc ing boy-now man-is given part nership in the store because he has just brought home somebody elses daughter and set up an establishment of his own, to whom do you personally exhibit the wedding presents and load up with the brides cake, and to whom do you look for that complete description of the in teresting event, down to the last pickle fork and individual salt, which, once more, means so much to you and very few others, aud SO little to anybody else9 To this same editor of that same Home Paper
 And when trouble comes in the home, and you add to your possessions that deso- late bit of realty, the lot in the cemetery, and somehow the sun doesn't seem to shine just as it used to, and there's the futter of crape at the door and the odor of the tube rose in the front parlor, and the chair that has for years been beside yours ct the fireside and opposite you at the table is vacant-when all this hap pens, who makes it his business to write in tender strain of the one whose life has grown to be part of yours, and whose sympathy and good deeds to others have long been known and recognized, if never publicly announced?
 The editor of the Home Paper; and he's only too willing to do the little that he can to help you over the hard spot in the road.
 And all these years you've advertised in this Home Paper, and done what you could to help the editor fight yoalr battles in municipal and county matters, and encouraged him. as he has worked to build up the town and bring business to it?

The Fly and the Check Rein.

We gladly copy the following humane and instructive letter written by Mir D. W. Fairchild, of Danbury, and publish ed in the Danbury Evening News of August 2.
 To my mind it is doubtful if nine. tenths of the human family have ever given thought as to what the mane and tail of horse were intended for, other than that they add to the beauty of the animal Reader, this is the sea- son of the year (dog days) to help you, through an peculiar demonstration, to give an early ard correct answer. Please observe, with this object in view, the poor dumb beast, mans most faithful servant, tied to the hitching post. Watch but for few moments his inces- sant motion, struggling with feet, head and tail, so far as modern civilization will let him, to drive away his tormen- tor, (yes and your tormentor only in a less degree the fly, which at this season of the year is ever omnipresent, persist ently and madly voracious. The horse is very attractive to the fly, because of its large amount of surface animal mat ter, especially so when sweating. The fly can easily become imbedded in the short hair when not molested. Attack and feed from the cuticle, which with the horse is said to be far more sensitive under such conditions than that of the bare back of the human body. With these observations you will be ready to say yes now for the first time know why, and the animal needs all these aids for his protection. But strange to say, I found added to these natural tor mentors (fies) device known as the $ overdrawn check rein, which not only keeps the poor brute from entirely using his head and mane to protect his forelegs and fore part of his body, but 1t also adds severe pain to the neck which is kept in an unnatural position. It IS stray that passes from the mouth over the most sensitive part of the brain which in days gone by was protected by bushes or wet sponge during hot weather. Of all the devices invented the overcheck rein is the most cruel and meaningless. Its pity the horse can not pass suitable judgement on the inventor, an inquisitorial demon. But what is to be said of those who patron ize this instrument of torture The most charitable thing to be said is that it comes through pure thoughtlessness. Its apeish, 'I do so because others do. D
 Some years since the attention of some fifty hackmen was called to this subject. They, like the writer, had never before thought of the wrong they were doing, not only to the horse but to their own interest, so as soon as fully comprehended, immediately abandoned the check rein. Their horses soon proved to be more amicable, needed less shoeing and gained in flesh. The writer's communication came into the hands of the Protection of Cruelty to Animals society. It was copied into the Cincinnati papers, and within few weeks the check rein was obsolete in that city.

ities were rolled up, the steps of the whisky interest could be marked. It was not in the great manufacturing centers of New York state that the largest Republican majorities were rolled up, but in the agri- cultural portions of the state.
 In conclusion, MT. Hiscock warned Dem ocratic senators not to indulge in idle prophecies about 1892. In his judgment the Democratic national convention in 1899 would abandon forever it's platform and its policy and it's tariff bill of 1888, and protection would be accepted as the settled policy of both political parties.
 WASHINGTON, July 3O.-In the senate MT. Carlisle, referring to statement made by MT. Stewart, said that all the taxes collected on imports in Great Britain went into the public treasury. On the contrary, it was the opinion of many that in the United States three or four times as much went into the pockets of private in- dividuals as went into the public treasury, and consequently that did not appear in the per capita statement. The policy of Great Britain was to impose taxes mainly if not entirely on articles not produced in that country.
 The result was the tax did not enhance the price to the consumer of any domestic product. The policy of the United States, on the contrary-and it was still further carried out by the pending bill-was to put on the free list articles not produced in this country, and to impose taxes on articles similar to those produced at home The effect, if not the object of that policy, was to increase the price of the domestic article
 The taxes it imposed on American citi- zens, including those resulting from the enhanced prices of the domestic articles as we'll as those that went into the treasury, would not be less than $1O per capita. He thought that no senator would deny that whenever an article of certain kind and quality was actually imported and sold in the American market in competition with domestic articles of the same kind and quality, the amount of the duty was added to the price of the domestic article.
 This proposition was challenged and de- nied by MT. Hiscock, who asked whether the tax of fifteen cents a bushel on the 12, GOO, 900 bushels of potatoes imported from Canada added fifteen cents bushel to the potato crop of the United Sta tes, and MT. Carlisle's answer was that it did add fifteen cents bushel to the American potatoes sold in the immediate market where the Canadian potatoes were sold. The amount of importation, however, was so incense uuential as to have no effect on the general price of potatoes in the United States.

A Full Moon,

The old man in the moon was full last night for the second time this month. It isn't often that this happens. In fact, not since October. 1887, has the temperance party in the fields of Luna permitted this to occur. For several years before 1887 the moon never was full more than once a month and 1t is certain, according to the almanac, not to take place during 1S91.- Winsted Citizen, July 31.
