A PARADOX.
nar's Tribune.

From the Farmers Tribune.
We believe that all articles that cannos be
produced in the United States, except
luxuries, should be admitted free Of duty,
and that all imports coming into cOmpef-
tion with the products of American labor
there should be levied duties equal to the
difference between wages abroad and at
home.-Republioan National Platform, '92.
The utterance of such an assertion by
party which has but recently concluded
a reciprocity" treaty which admits the
beef hides and horses, shipped from the
boundless and cheap pastures OF Brazil
by ring of Boston and New York specu-
lators, in direct competition with the
same articles produced on the high priced
lands of the United States free of duty
which, while at the same time refusing
to admit the clothing and other supplies
required by the farmer, would probably
be termed paradox. A few years ago,
however, a much stronger term would
have been employed.

VERMONT FARMERS NEED NEW ENG

VERMONT FARMEhS NEED NEW EMU
LAND "sNAP."
TO the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Once more find myself among the
scenes and associations Of my early days.
Ten years Of absence have brought many
changes. Many familiar forms and
voices l see and hear no more. The
hills and the valleys look as In days OF
yOre. The farms and the fences, the
houses and the barns, the ancient land
marks are here. Some houses look older,
some are improved. Many large barns
now stand whore small ones stood fifteen
and twenty years ago. On the other
hand, many buildings on the smaller or
less productive farms are abandoned and
going to decay.
Passing by the place where was born,
the home Of my childhood and youth, l
inquired the price ct which It was held
now, as I knew it was for SALE The an
sWer came: $4,000 or less" / remem-
bered when it was sold for $4,000, and
passed on. passed another place,
which, a few years ago, with old, worn
out buildings, sold for $4,000. To-day 1t
has new barn and house, all in fine
shape, but was sold short time ago for
$1,000. All the improvements had failed
TO raise the price Of the farm single
cent. Another farm has a mortgage on
il which, If it could be sold at it's face
value would bring $500 more than the
farm. SO it goes. These are three exam
pies in my old school district, and could be
multiplied indefinitely.
Now, Mr.. Editor, see by The ADvo-
CATE Of June 10, page 6, that Hon. ]. D.
Taylor, member Of congress from Ohio,
upbraids the Kansas farmers for not hav-
ing the 'snap and backbone" of the New
England farmer. Somehow there seems
to be lots Of farmers here, who don't have
''snap" enough to snap the mortgages off
their farms. My opinion is that that's a
trick which takes q banker to do every
time.
Another thing occupies my attention
o. pass along. These Vermont farmers
don't know why these things are so.
Now, of my own knowledge, these farm
ers can read. / remember when we read
and spelled together from the old Web
ster's spelling book. There we read Of
the farmers OK that had been gored by
the lawyers bull. And that is what sils
them now. The farmers themselves are
being gored and don't know it; and as
long as they read, and read but one side,
they will never find out what cores them,
no matter how much snap and backbone
they have. And it will be but a ques-
tion when the ediCt will go forth, "They

Origin of the Lone Star.

Colonel j. +. TrOutman, of Fort Val
ley, Ga, courtly gentleman of the old
school, gave this interesting history:
About 1885 Captain Mirabeau B. Lamar
organized Georgia company, of which
Justice Lamar, Of the supreme court,
was a member, to go to Texas to fight
for her independence against Mexico
AS this company passed through Knox,
vile, Ga, Miss Johanna E. Troutman,
sister of the colonel, then a beautiful
girl of eighteen, presented the company
with a silk flag, embellished only with
the "Lone Star" the flag and the en-
blem being her own conception. This
Georgia company distinguished itself
for bravery, and was allowed to retain
two specimens of plate, huge silver
spoon and fork Of antique design, cap
tured from Santa Anna.
When the Lone Star was adopted and
placed on the seal Of the state of Texas
this company, by unanimous vote, at the
instance of Captain Lamar, presented to
Miss Troutman these articles of silver
plate in honor of being the author of the
Lone Star emblem. Captain Lamar was
afterward one of the presidents of the
Texas republic, and in his honor Lamar
county was named in 1910. Miss Trout
man afterward married a Mr.. Pope OF
Montgomery, Ga, and died few years
since, leaving one son, II. B. Pope, who
now lives at Rome, Ga, and has in his
possession these two pieces of unique
silver given to his mother.-Dallas

Smoking in Church.

The custom of smoking during church
service was not confined to the laity and
minor clergy, for it is recorded that an
archbishop of York was once reproved
by the vicar of st. Mary's, Nottingham,
for attempting to smoke in the church
vestry.
The Rev. John Disney, of Swinderley,
in Lincolnshire, writing on the 18th OF
December, 1913, to James Granger,
says: The affair happened in ST. Mary s
church, Nottingham, when. Archbishop
Blackburn was there on a visitation.
The archbishop had ordered some of the
apparitors or other attendants to bring
him pipes and tobacco and some liquor
into the vestry for his refreshment after
the fatigue of confirmation. And this
coming to Mr.. Disney's ears he forbade
their being brought thither; and with a
becoming spirit demonstrated with the
archbishop upon the improperly of his
conduct, at the same time telling his
grace that his vestry should not be con-
verified into a smoking room.-All the
Year Round.

Not in the Purchase.

Many New England farms are known
to the people IL the surrounding country
by the names of former owners, who
perhaps moved away or died many years
ago. Martin Baker came from "York
state" to live ON a fine old Vermont
farm.
The farm had belonged to his cousin,
another Baker, and the present owner
was cultivating it, as he said, "to the
very top of the notch"
He painted sign for the barn, which
announced to all beholders that this was
Mountain View Farm" but to his dis
gust he heard his new property spoken
of on every hand as 9Th old Bachelor
place"
His patience was greatly tried by this
fact, and at last he broke out in rage
one day when a farmer who lived a
short distance from him was explaining
to a newcomer that he, Martin Baker,
was man who was ''fxin up tn old
Bachelor place an carlated t hev it
known tn kentry raound."
Il amt calculatin to have it known as
the Bachelor place. though, can tell

his petrified neighbor.

the meadows, and everything that ever
belonged to Bachelor? My cousin didn't
own all the land, but | do. I've bought
every inch of it and paid for it. What

How a Hindoo Uses Clocks

The Hindoo places clock in his show
rooms, not because he ever desires to
know what the hour is, but because a
clock is a foreign curiosity. Instead,
therefore, of contenting himself with
one good clock, he will perhaps have a
dozen in one room. They are signs of
his wealth, but they do not add to his
comfort, for he is so indifferent to time
that he measures it by the number of
bamboo lengths the sun has travelled
above the horizon.-Temple Bar.

AN INHUNAN MOTHER.

Another case in which a woman and
a mother figures is one of the most
heartless instances on record. A long,
cruel knife elected the history, and for
cool, hard hearted Indifference it has no
equal. A woman with her three chill
dren, living in one of the worst sections
down town, reveled in all sorts of vice
and wickedness and regarded her little
ones as obstacles standing in her way.
Of a very excitable and ungovernabl9
disposition at all times, she was, when
under the influence Of drink, veritabl7
fury, and had frequently beaten them
with heavy clubs, bludgeons Of wood
with protruding nails, and, in fact, any
thing she could lay her hands on, until
their bodies and faces were in the most
| fearful condition.
Not content with this, she turned
| them out in the streets one bitter win
| ter's day insufficiently clad, and too ter
ror stricken to attempt to return. Neigh
| bOrs saw them and warned her that
unless she speedily gave them shelter
| complaint would be made against her.
| Owing TO this threat she took them in,
but only to vent redoubled fury on the
already half dead children. That night
one little chap, worn out with the trials
Of his lot and exhausted by lack of food
and i'll treatment, fell into sleep only
to be rudely awakened by heavy blows
because he breathed too loud. The final
act which brought her before the magis-
trate was that of stabbing her little girl
because she asked for piece of sugar.
:. On being brought up for examination
she expressed no regret for what she
had done, but said she hoped the child
would die, as it would only take fifteen
dollars to bury her, and she would be
through with the brat. "-Philadelphia

asked:
"lf we give Fitzsimmons and Hall
$50, coo. what in heavens name will we
have to pay for the Corbett-Mitchell

That's just the point" replied Pres

practically had the Fitz-IIall fight. but
the Coney Island club raised our fig

to the lighters. We are not anxious to
pay over $50. 900"
