THE NEWSPAPER BoRRowER.-I wonder
how many newspaper borrowers there arc in
Roanoke? The average newspaper borrower
is hard to please. He is confirmed critic.
His delight is to watch for the carriers and
rush in and borrow your paper before you
have had a chance to glance at it, and then,
after keeping it an hour or two, to return 1t
with the remark that there is nothing
in it."
He reminds me Of the old lady who used 10
draw all the water she needed ont Of her
neighbors well. Finally the old bucket, from
constant use got to leaking and half the water
dripped back III the well before the bucket
reached the top. This set the old lady TO
grumbling and She kept it up for several days
until she became to regard the lcaky buckt
rs n personal grievance. and so one day she
called Oh her ncighbor, pale with suppressed
passion. and exclaimed See, here IL you
don't get a new buoict | will stop iisinS your
water" -.
The newspaper borrower is nuisance that
should be abated, and Will tell you now ~ 40

want her to see. and III a moment, you Will
see her boz scoot down the street with Il
niekIe in his hand and return with World
which She will eagerly grasp and turn to this
paragraph. which she will no sooner read than
She will turn green with rage, send back your

protection Helps California

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
There are number of industries In
this state whose primary existence
and subsequent prosperity are due to
the benefits conferred upon them by
the tariff, through which foreign com
petition is either shut out entirely or
else put upon an equality. The
greater share of the horticultural pro.
ducts of California, such as wine,
ralsins, prunes, olives and olive oil =,
etc., have 10 competition from any
other part of this country, those ar
ticIes being produced only in foreign
countries, and in countries, too. where
the price of labor has been reduced to
the lowest possible limit. Manitestly,
then, 1t is unfair to expect tie
horticulturists of this state to
succss fully compete 10 these lines
wILu those OF foreign lands, Without
the protection afforded by a moderate
tariff Where the California rsisin
and prune-grOwer pays ST. so to Sl.75
day Tor help, while his foreign COM
petitor pays from zoe to SOC a day, it is
apparent that the latter can UNDER
sell the former and drive him out OF
the business, or keep him from en-
gaging in 1t at all unless tariff were
imposed which should put them both
more nearly upon a level, the only
alternative being reduction of wages
to conform with those paid abroad.
This has been done, with the result
that, while the consumer has to pay
no more for his fTuit-indeed, not SO
much as he did before prunes were
produced in this state-the California
horticultural has been enabled to
build up profitable industry.
But, singularly enough, while these
| facts are patent to all, and are freely
acknowledged by every one who has
studied the situation, regardless OF
politics, still the newspaper organs
of the free trade party have thought
| 1t necessary, in order to be consistent
in their advocacy of the position
squsrely taken by their party plat
form, to attack those portions of the
tariff which have been so instrument
tai in building up this state.

small Teas and Luncheons.


From The Brooklyn Eagle.
| There is, of course, a certain kind OF
pleasure In the elaborate luncheon or
! dinner where tables are laid for sixty
or eighty. and where all the appoint
ments are magnificent One remem-
bers such occasions with pride and
| feels grateful to the wealthy hostess
for aftOrding her a glimpse of what
can be accomplished when good taste
is joined to unlimited means; but her
enjoyment is not quite as hearty as
that felt In the pretty informal affair
when the hostess simply says:
Ladies', luncheon Is ready" and
leads the way. Certainly there is
some danger that ones bon. homie, as
the French would say, shall be lost in
the Too great tormslities of very elab-
crate entertainments, hence the mis-
tress who can ntertain only few at
a time, and those few only in SIM
pie, inexpensive fashion, has reason
to congratulate herself rather than
despair.
But let her once try to copy gram
deur, let her once try to be somebody
else's fashionable home, and her fate
/ as q charming hostess Is sealed. Be
natural, that is the best manner in
which to make guests feel comforta.
able. Having given the occasion as
much thought and care as are neces-
sary to insure harmony and sociabili.
ty, one should not let fear of conse'
quences Interfere with ones own cor
diality, as sometimes happens when
an inexperienced hostess shows
rather plainly the nervous strain
under which she is acting. Some
one has said that in large cities there
is no such thing as real sOciability;
that it has entirely died out through
much etiq uette. Those who have
enjoyed themselves at some of these
quiet, unpretentions affairs in cul-
tured homes will wish to contradict
the statement.
Last winter dozen friends found
great satisfaction liz meeting
in turn at each others houses IN
imitation somewhat of the Washing
ton literary teas, where each must De

In an informal way nothing can
take the place OF the weekly salon or
5 to o'clock tea, where mothers and
sisters, usbands and brothers meet
through the season in the familiar
drawing rooms of several different
no. tesses who know how TO
make the occasion inviting, and
whose homes have become rem.
deZvous for certain friends The PFC

the hostess in chat with this or thai
friend who has dropped in from a

her bit of news or gossip. High teas,
small dinner or theater parties,
monthly receptions or regular even-
ings at home, informal luncheons. are
within the means of all who care TO
entertain at all.

NO COMPLAINTS OF DULLNESS

Heard Along the Wholesale Mercantile
Decline in Elgin Creamery Butter-A
Little Late Crop Gossip.
WEDNESDAY, Oct. g.
The demand for general merchandise is
steadily increasing as the season advances,
and there is very little complaint in any
quarter about an unsatisfactory movement.
The lower temperature has stimulated the
inquiry for fall and winter goods of all
kinds, and sales in most lines are fully up
to expectations. Collections are moderately
easy.
1t was enormously stated in this column
yesterday that no change in the price of
creamery butter had been established on
the Elgin butter board Monday. This error
arose from the failure of two local houses to
properly interpret their telegraphic advices
from Elgin, both reporting no change. In
reality sales were made full cent below
last weeks prices, which means a lower
range OF prices here. Some of the dealers
say, however, that they do not intend to re-
duce their quotations, as they had been SELL
ing little below the market before the de-
cline came.
surprise in view of the frmness in raw. AS
no explanation accompanied the drop of
L@Ac in quotations. the inference is that
the importation of refined sugars from Eu-
rope, as well as successful competition by
Canadian refners for Western trade, has
alarmed the trust and forced lower prices
for their product. The margin between raw
and refined is now about 11Sc the trust hav-
ing pushed up prices as near as possible to
the importing point. When foreign COM
petition successfully asserts itself the price
OF the domestic product is, of course. i'm
mediately dropped, and further increase
of profits checked.
Continued light exports of wheat from
India strengthen the belief that that coun-
try has little more to spare, and that the
United States will be called on to ship more
freely in future to supply the deficiency.
The New York Su1 has issued crop re-
port giving the crop of the different States,
and making the total yield of wheat 1,300,-
OOO 1000 bushels and oats 500, ,000 bushels.
Beerbohm is said to have made state
ment that Europe will require 5000, 900 busl-
els of corn from America this month.
