How Woman OF Original Mind I'm.
teftalned Her Friends.


tertained Her Friends.
A woman in the West End, New York
city, who has a proper appreciation Of
character study, lately arranged an even
ing Of peculiar interest for some friends
Everything was slipping along much a.
usual, and nobody had any suspicion of
anything out of the common order,
though some of the guests felt tempted &c
a little vexation at the time devoted by the
hostess TO ademure little old lrishwoman,
white haired and shrinking from olSerya
ton, who had chair in a dim, secluded
corner between a screen and a portiere.
The lady of the house had allowed her
TO come in, from the the servants quar-
ters apparently, for peep at the gay
doings, and now fingered beside her,
chatting kindly, until two or three, then
half a dozen, and then dozen guests
drew near TO claim her attention. Mrs.
- is telling me, said the hostess, in a
simple and natural manner, "of her
young days, and how she got Dinny out
Of the prison pen; Mrs. -, won't you
90 onsp
The little old white haired serving
woman had not the least suspicion that
she was the victim of design. There
she sat in her surpliced gown, twirling
and twisting huge handkerchief in an
embarrassed way, yet not unapprecia-
tve-what story teller ever isl--of the
chance TO lay her life history before SC
good an audience.
Cautiously the lights were lowered, and
slowly, while she smoothed the folds of a
black silk apron, the words began to
come. A mirror at the far end of the
room reflected dimly and weirdly the
scene. Every head was bent forward to
catch the quaint brogue, as her voice rose
and fell in soft, low cadence, while the
invited party pressed about to hear the
story of "Dinny."
~Dinny" was a neighbor who went to
prison long years ago for manslaughter.
"Dinny" had wife who lay down and
died, and there were children who were
left TO the narrators care. For the chill
dren's sake she moved mountains to win
"Dinny's" pardon, and when he was once
more free man he showed his gratitude
by doing second murder and running
away. There was pathos and there was
humor in the recital, and there were
tears on more cheeks than those of the
old woman, as she told of her Joy at get
ting the "darlint childer" into her own
hands again.
When she had rung the curtain down
on the homely little drama the prettiest
lady in the room stood by her smoothing
the silver hair. There was fair young
girl who knelt and stroked the horny
hands, and the old woman bent and
kissed the girls white fingers. Then the
host of the evening brought ices and
cakes to her first of all as the honored
guest of the occasion, and the quaint lit
tie body in the surpliced dress made o
quaint courtesy as she rose to retire be-
low stairs. Her personal triumph was
complete and so was that of the hostess.
So much for originality.

POPPING THE QUESTION.


Will Help the Bashful Young Man.
Don't be too sudden about it. Many
girl has said no when she meant ives :"
simply because the lover didn't choose
the right time and pop the question
gently.
Take a dark night for it. Have the
blinds closed, the curtains down. and the
lamp turned almost out. Sit near enough
10 her so you can hook your little fingers
into hers.
Wait until the conversation begins 10
Gag, and then quietly remark:

She win fidget about little and prob
ably reply:
~Yes?"
After pause you can add:
~Susie, my actions must have shown
that is, you must have seen--I mean you
must have been aware that"
Pause here for a while, but keep your
little finger firmly locked. She may
cough and try to turn the subject off by
asking you how you liked the sermon,
but she only does it to encourage you.
After pause you can continue:
Il was thinking as was coming up the
street tonight that before / went away
would ask you-tnat is, would broach
the subject nearest my-I mean would
know my"
Stop again and give her hand a gentle
squeeze. She may make a move to get
away or she may not. In either case it
augurs well for you. Wait five minutes
and then go ON.
"The past year has been very happy
one to me, but l hope that future years
will still be happier. However, that de-
pends entirely on you. l am here to-
night to know-that is, to ask you'll am
here tonight to hear from your own lips

Wait again. 1t isn't best to be too rash
about such things. Give her plenty of
time to recover her composure, and then
put your hand on your heart and con-
tinue:
"Yes, l thought as l was coming here
tonight how happy I'd been, and / said
TO myself that il only knew you would
consent to be my--that is, / said il only

heart had not deceived me, and you were
ready to share"
Hold on-there's no hurry about it.
Give the wind cf ance to sob and moan
outside among the trees. This win make
her lonesome, and call up all the love in
her heart. When she begins to cough
and grow restless you can go ON.
Before met you this world was a
desert to me. didn't take any pleasure

sun shone or not. But what change in
one short year. 1t is for you to say

happiness or one long and never ending
pathway of thistles. Speak, dearest
Susie, and say-and say that"
Give her five minutes more by the
clock and then add:
THAT you-you will be-that is, that
you will-be minel"
She will heave a sigh. look up at the
clock, and round the room, and then as
she slides her head over your vest pocket
she will whisper:

Effects of the Tariff on Woolens.

What better testimony to the good eff fects of the Mckinley bill could be given than the following from Bradstreets of Feb. 2l:
 "An interesting feature of the woolen manufacturing situation is the number of new mills being built or projected in the west. Since the first of the year it has been reported that woolen mill has been projected at Rosedale, Kan. the Commercial club of Albuquerque, N. M., is negotiating with woolen manufactur- CTS whom it hopes to induce to move there; the new Minneapolis woolen mills are being equipped as rapidly as possi- ble; there is reported a probability that wooleu mill will be built at Belton, Tex; at Marshall, Tex, the ground has been purchased for mill, and work on its construction is to begin soon; At San Antonio a company is said to be organiz- ing for wool manufacturing; at Gran vile, Tenn, the establishment of a wOolen plant is receiving serious atten- ton, and announcements are made of woolen mills to be erected at Charles town, w. Va., and Jacksonville, Fla"
 Thus, while the enemies of Protection are eagerly watching for the slightest turn in market fluctuations to twist it into justification of their exaggerated assertions about Mckinley prices, Nc Kinley industries are springing up all over the country to give increased em- ployment to labor and to pour plenty into thousands of workingmen's homes.

Free Sugar,

Promptly with the 1st of April came a drop of two and one-half cents pound in the best granulated sugar, and a heavy decline in other grades and also in molasses.
 It is all on account of the new tariff.
 The fact, however, is only barely and grudgingly mentioned in the tariff re- form newspapers. It is doubtless un- pleasant to them to remember that the Mills bill contained no such boon to the people.
 But occasionally some tyro in econom- ics asks "If free sugar is good, why not free other things?" Because, dear sir, we are dependent upon foreign sup ply for the great bulk of sugar we con sume, and it is a part of the protective policy to admit free what we cannot pro- duce in quantities sufficient to supply the home market and thus regulate the price.
 With free coffee, free tea and free sugar, and with protected wages and increasing business, the American work ingnan sits down to cheery table.
 With taxed tea, coffee, entrants and even medicines, and with reduced wages and diminishing opportunities, the En- glish workingman begins to realize that Free trade is a fraud.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
How It Would Differ from Reciprocity
 with Brazil.

How It Would Differ from Reciprocity
 with Brazil.
 Reciprocity with Canada would be thing quite different from reciprocity with Brazil. Canada produces very lit tie, if anything, which we need but can not ourselves produce. Unrestricted reciprocity with her would indeed be surrender of the principle of Protection. One of the prominent features of the new tariff bill is the increase in the height of the tariff wall along the Can adian frontier. The legislators who stand for the principle of Protection in framing tariff bill pronounced stiff duty on Canadian products essential to the policy of Protection. To abolish these duties now would be change of front on the tariff question.
 The principal items in Canada's ex- ports to the United States were last year in round numbers as follows:
 "Horses, $l 100000; sheep, $1 ,00O, ,0OO; cattle, $59,OOO; barley, $5,OOO,OOO; rye and oatmeal, $l5O, ,O0O; wheat, $109, ,oO0; coal, $2,0O0,OO0; lumber, $S,000,000; beans, $1 ,000, ,000; mackerel and salmon, $700, ,0O0; eggs, $2,00O,000."
 These are, of course, the things which Canada would expect to come into the United States duty free under any reel procity treaty she would be willing to make. Every one of them would come into direct competition with an Ameri- can industry. The farmer especially would be hurt. We have already tried the experiment of Canadian reciprocity. | A treaty was in force between this coun- try and Canada from 1855 to 1866. A glance at its provisions ought to con vince any farmer that we do not want any more of it. The following articles were on the free lists of both countries:
 Grain, flour and breadstufrs of all kinds; | animals of all kinds; fresh, smoked and | salted meats; cotton wool, seeds and vege- | tables; undried fruits and dried fruits; | fish of all kinds products of fish and all other creatures living in the water: poultry and eggs: hides, furs, skins and tails undrcSSed; stone and marble in its crude and unwrought state; slate, butter, cheese and tal- | low; lard, bones and manures; ores and metals | of all kinds; coal, pitch, tar, tuIpentine and ashes; timber and lumber of all kinds, round, howod and sawed, unmanufactured in whole or in part; irewood, plants, shrubs and trees; 1 pelts, wool, fish oil, rice broom corn and bark, 1 gypsum, ground and unground; hewn, wrought or unwrought burr or grindstonos dyestuffs; l flax, hemp and tow wunmanufacturod; unmanu- l factured tobacco and rags.
 Since the termination of this treaty the Canadians have tried to negotiate an other, and sent commissioners to Wash ington for the purpose. Their efforts were as unavailing as those of Sir John Macdonalds s commission must now prove.

 At the Chicago fat stock show the Shorthorn steer Nonesuch took the sweepstakes prize for the model beef animal. His picture shows that there was not much waste about him. None such was bred in Kentucky in the blue grass and is of bright red color all over. Nonesuch's sire was bull of the Wood lawn Shorthorn herd. His points" will be very apparent to those who know a beef animal when they see it.

PRIZE SHoRTHoRN STEER AT THE
 FAT STOCK SHOW.

Fashion In the Color of Cattle-Some-
 thing in the Color, but Nothing to
 Justify the Crazes About It-Red and
 Roan Shorthorns Respectively. ..
 Some time since a noted Shorthorn rearer declared emphatically that he would have none but roan animals to breed from if he could get them. He did not draw the line strictly against red Shorthorns, but preferred the roan al- ways. A few years ago, however, there was such craze for reds that the roan would have been nowhere in breeders sale.
 There is much nonsense in the fashions of color in dairy and beef cattle. In gen. eral, if certain colored animal has proved its capabilities for generations in certain directions it is fair to reason, in a general way, that other cattle of the same color and breed would be also well

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand Q00,0O0) shares of ten ($10) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub- scribers will be entitled to draw diyi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to afull dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 20 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of 5 percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; plo- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for it's manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at it's last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets, as well as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $1Ol ,293, 1926, or sent away up wards of one hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confidentlybelieved that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield a much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country and if these premises are correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States
Arizona republican., 1891-05-22

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have a vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms a safe investment, and that machinery which can be i'm ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkal from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The co0perative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchfulness over the management, and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro- duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort or the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
