volume. The price of the English edition always
has been and still is $500 per volume, and the
Scribner edition $500 per volume in the cheapest
binding.
That the public appreciate so great bargain is
shown by the fact that over half million volumes
OF this reprint have been sold in less than six
months.
This elegant new edition we still offer at the
same price, $3.50 per volume. This is the greatest
bargain ever known In books.
Better still, We will deliver the set complete on
small easy payments, to suit the convenience OF
customers.
Remember this Is not an abridgement but the
great Edinburgh ninth edition. reproduced page
for page with important articles on American sub
jects rewritten to date by eminent American
authors. and new maps, later and better than in
any other edition.
SPECIAL. OFFERING claim that our reprint
compares favorably with the high priced editions
in every respect. and in respect to maps, and
strength and beauty of binding superior to them

nal inspection we make the following proposition:
We will furnish Volume /. at 90 cts.-a fraction Of
actual cost-if sent by express. Add 40 cts post
age il wanted by mail. Amount paid for Volume

A Wasteful Policy,

The cry of impossible roads worse than ever
before comes up from all parts of the country
The fall rains were bad enough and taxed the
road members to the utmost of their powers. and
as the dirt was no sooner scattered over the road
bed than subsequent rains washed it into the
bitches again, the labor put upon the roads was
not only expended in vain but the county COM
miss toner's were put to heavy charges over and
road and bridge tax The policy of the system
of roa d-mending by piling on dirt only to have

thing to proudce a suit of clothes that will be
attractive to everybody. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Since the world began
there were never two noses exactly alike, and
there is Just as much difference in taste as there
is in noses. The successful clothier constantly
has his fingers on the pulse of popular taste. II
is his business to discover in what direction the

Horses Were Introduced in Ameri
Nd S,,,,,1. T.. -

Horses Were Introduced in America
by the SpanfardS and Some Escaped.
The Indian horses of the mountain and
plains tribes were originally of that wild
stock once found in vast herds over the
lntracontincnt region, and which had
| their beginning from those that strayed
from the Spanards in old Mexico. as
there were no animals of that character
until the Spanish conquest, if we except
an extinct species found only as a fossil
on the plains of Kansas. These We're geo
logical specimens long before the advent
of the Indian, and of such a remote age as
| to bewilder the mind in its contempla-
ton.
Even until the middle of the eighteenth
century the Indians of the country east of
! the Mississippi used to laugh at the white
man, Who could not walk but must ride
a horse. The Indian thought nothing of
keeping up dog trot'' all day. making
his fifty and sixty miles during that
time.
The wild horses of the American CONT

Mexico as far north as Lake Winnipeg
says writer in the Kansas City Star
| IWenty-three years ago there were a
great many wandering over the broad
grassy bottoms OF the Cimarron, in south
western Kansas; perhaps they are not all
extinct yet. All the wild horses that
have ever seen were of small stature

demanded of him. The saVagcs are very
hard on their animals, and unless their
horses were constituted TO ''live on cactus
and drink the green slime Of buffalo wal
lows" they would have become extinct,
probably, long ago. When caught young
they are easily broken, but if taken at an
| advanced age they are perfectly incorrig-
ible.

RECIPROCITY.
San Domingo Wishes TO Negotiate a
Treaty With the United States.

San Domingo Wishes TO Negotiate q
Treaty With the United States.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Senor Galvan.
who is now here, is empowered by San
Domingo to negotiate reciprocity
agreement with this country. He said to
your correspondent to-day:
''San Domingo occupies about two
thirds of large island southeast of Cuba.
Its population is over 100000 We raise
about $4,000 tons Of sugar, 2l, 900 of which
is sent 10 the United States. The balance
is consumed on the island. We send to
Germany large quantity of tobacco. 1t
Is not quite as fine as Cuban tobacco, but
finds ready sale in Germany We also
raise cocoa, tea, coffee and hides. A good
quality of tea grows wild. There is also
considerable expectation Of mahogany
and logwOod."
ION what basis could a reciprocity
treaty be negotiated ,"
There are many reasons why such a
treaty would be beneficial. The total i'm
ports Of the Republic mount to about
S4,jOO,OO0 year. OF this amount the
United States sends us now only about
$4,000 worth, with q treaty 1avoring
American goods. The importations from
the United States would aggregate fully
S},50O,OOO, displacing the cotton goods
and lronware which we get from Eng
land, the fancy goods, shoes and drugs
which we import from France and beer
and other articles which come from Ger
many But there is something more TO
be gained than Il mere increase of COM
merce. With such a treaty the sugar
industry would be greatly stimulated
and developed. This would mean the
investment of more capital and the pur-
chase OF more machinery. For both of
these we would look to the United States.
Already 90 per cent. of the sugar estates
are in the hands of Americans"
$50 reciprocity with San Domingo
means the protection and development of
American industries" ?"
That Is the point, exactly. The money
paid us Tor our sugar would come direct
ly back to you for machinery and for the
establishment of more sugar estates We
can in ten years furnish enough sugar To
supply the whole of the United States.
San Domingo is not developed. Our
small population is evidence of this.
There are choice tracts of fertile lands
awaiting transformation into plantations.
AS the demand for sugar became greater,
efforts TO increase the supply would be-
come all the more earnest and progress
siVe. Our people are wealthy and anxious
TO deal with the United States When /
tell you that there are internal revenue
taxes and San Domingo derives its
revenues solely from customs duties YOU
can appreciate the sacrifice that we max e
IN cutting down the custom receipts free
OF duty or with a tariff so low that they
are given immense advantages over Eu-
ropcan goods. In the future we would
take almost everything you manufacture.
Another strong argument from the Do
mingoan standpoint in favor of a recipro-
city treaty is that such treaty would
make the United States Independent of
Cuba and Spain in a few Vp1IS -
