sures for the sugar beet q prominence
III future agriculture the signi6can. .
OF whlrh is beyond estimation.
Another important feature of the
sugar schedule Of the NJ, KinIey Law,
f'r the repeal OF which the party
tspousing tariff "reform" ha,tens to
re>pledg- itself on every occasion, i.
the prov,s;' nal clause for reciprocity
o trade with foreign nations. Under
pressure OF the power thus placed in
the hands Of the National Executive,
barriers against the admission OF pro.
ducts Of this country to South America
and West India markets have already
been lowered, while negotiations now
we'll advanced promise ut an early DAY
to give America hog products free
access to the markets Of Germany
aud France along the beet sugar route.
These are some If the TACT. that fst .
trade attorneys find il conve,.i~, 20
ignore while drumming for recruits
for . general crusade against tho
existing tariff law. They have no
words of conxratnlation over the
probability that some portion Of the
more than $50, OOO. 900 last year paid
to foreigners for sugar may hereafter
he kept within reach Of the farmers
VII" grow berts and cane, and the
workers who make sugar, however
much these may need such addition
to their resources. Their anxiety
rather goes out toward the Spanish
dons snd European landlords whose
field supplied the material ard the
owners Of steamships that transported
the two billion pounds Of foreign
sugar last year sold in tho United
States.
Such at,itude appeals neither to the
sound business sense nor the pa,rio.
tism Of voters; and until these char.
acteri>tics cease to dominate Amer
loan legislation self styled reformers"
are lik+lv to work in vain for the adj
vent Of that free trade millennium
toward which their political vision has
been SO long directed.

American Economist
Tariff "reform" stouters in the last

that consumers would not get any

How does all this correspond with
the fact as suhseq GENTLY developed?
Has anything occurred to add luster

political seers, OF to invite tolerance ot

Runaway Charges In France.

Runaway Charges In France.
The etiquette Of French law must
sometimes take the flavor Of an unwel.
come surprise to lately exported brides.
Not long ago the Countess de la Forest
Devonne, formerly Florence Audenreid;
Of Washington, was driving In the Boie
do Boulogne with her cousin, M1s. Har-
lison Gamer, another bride from Phila-
delphia, when her horses suddenly tool
fright and ran away without hurting
anybody seriously or doing peroeptibla
damage: With characteristic prompt:
ness, however, a government, official
called and laid before the countess bill
for damages. The official document
stated that some injury had been done to
the barks Of the trees and some little
confusion of roadway and bordering
grass had been caused by her horses.
Well, this seemed rather amusing to
an American, but when bills for dam
ages to five different carriages came in,
one after another, the countess began to
get anxious, and consulted her check
book with growing interest and much
wonderment as to whether there would
be enough left Of her yearly income fo1
necessary expenses. Furthermore, she
has no idea when the demand win stop
or how many more ancient and decrepit
vehicles will come out as good as new al
her expense.-New York Timea

day. Many friends Of the deceased man
read Of his death with sorrow, and at

to abandon their packs and start on a

left they mixed with vinegar and oat-

oatmeal and made the mixture 20 lot
that it would actually burn them when
they wet their swollen tongues with II;
None had ever been over the ground
before, and It was only due to the intelu-
gence Of Montgomery's pet jack, Sullivan,
that they were saved from suffering, II
not death. Dragging along up the val

am talking now Of the thrashing Of win

goes from farm to farm and the men
board around, take turns in helping out
one another, and spark the girls with zeal
mingled with discretion.
.!Thrashing, the farmers wife tells me,
is the hungriest work there is, and you
would think 80 II you could see those

melts away like butter before roaring

you have to hustle to keep up with them.

Mrs. Bradley Martins Diamonds.
Mrs. Bradley Martins diamond tiara is,
perhaps, the most magnificent one owned
by any woman not of royal lineage. As
. rule, tiaras carry only small and infe-
rior gems, which combined make fair-
ly good showing, but Mrs. Martins is
composed Of carefully selected diamonds.
Many are rare solitaires. The seven
points Of the tiara are tipped with single
gems, each Of great value. The cost Of
the ornament, which was made in Lon
don, Is acknowledged by Mrs. Martin
herself to have been considerably more
than 100000. A necklace of rubies that
once belonged to Marie Antoinette is
among the treasures Of Mrs. Bradley
Martins jewel collection. 1t cost small
fortune.-New York Sun.
