sight. How my heart beat with
pleasure while selecting the pres
ent, when I thought how charming
yeu would lock with it on. l have
here a few verses, which l COM
posed for the occasion, and 1 hope
you will preserve them also, as a
memento of tho joyous event."
Here at my darling feet lay
Attribute to my love,
A love as bright as summers day,
Or shining sun above.
And when within this handsome gift
Her fair form she doth slide
Ipray her thoughts may eager drift
To when shell be my bride.
It's no jewel rare bring
From Africa's distant mine,
1t will not to the finger cling
But to the form divine.
And oh, pray that you may wear
1t many, many years,
And that its surface fair may never
Be stained by falling tears.
Encased in this no wintry blast
Can chill my darlings form.
The winds may howl in fury past
And still she will be warm.
When buttoned tightly around you dear,
The frOsts will seek in vain
My loved ones form to get anear,
And sting with cruel pain.
Accept it from your loving John
Who brings this gift to thee
And every time you put it on
pray you think of me.
A tribute Of affections zeal
place it in your arms
How justly proud it ought to feel
TO hide such royal charms.
Sand now, darling, 1 lave but
one request to make, and that is,
that my hands may be the first to
place the beautiful garment on
your fair form. Let me put it on
you and button it about you, with
a true lovers blessing; arise my
beloved one and see how it fits "
He had been undoing the pack
age and as the maiden rose to her
feet, with a proud and loving smile,
he removed the lid. Thinking the
flannel a cloth placed over the
cloak to protect it, he caught it up
and unfolded, and hung it before
her in all it's double-barreled grand
uer. With piercing shrek, she
sank to the floor in swoon, and
with every hair on end, and all his
blood frozen with horror, the mis-
cradle man fled out into the dark
ness, out under the silent stars,
down by the docks, where he med
itated self destruction. They meet
as strangers now.

A Chicago Lover Present His Sweet

TO FIT A FORM DIVINE.
But the Fiendish Act Of q Clerk Turns
Joy to Grief and Breaks Up an En-.
gagement.
Chicago Blade.

Chicago Blade.
Ever since the merry Christmas
chimes filled the air with deep-ton-
gued melody, one of Chicago's most
popular young men, has been seen
wandering aimlessly about the
streets, wearing upon his face sad
look, so excruciatingly painful, that
it attracts unusual attention. When
Intercepted by his friends as to the
cause of his dependency, he sadly
shakes his head and replies, moth
ing" and then resumes his funeral
gait.
Some think him laboring under
a hidden sorrow, and others aver
that the canker worm of remorse,
for some concealed crime is gnaw-
ing at his heart, but his physician
thinks he will bring him around
all right.
But the truth is out al last, and
here it is:
Our young friend is desperately
in love with one of our West Side
fair damsels, and for Christmas
present, determined to give her a
seal skin cloak.
On Christmas eve he went to
fur store and nnfolded to the polite
and perfumed clerk his plans,> and
desired to be shown in the required
line. A selection was soon made,
placed in a box and neatly tied up,
and, after asking the clerk to lay
it aside for short time, the young
man left the store for the purpose
of calling on friend.
After his departure the sleeping
devil of mischief in the clerks pol
luted heart reused up, and led him
into the preparation of a joke of SO
diabolical character that it would
cause the fiends who roam the dark
plutonian shores to blush with
shame.
Producing box similar to the
one in which the cloak had been
placed, he filled it nearly to the top
with old newspapers and on the top
of these laid pair of red flannel
drawers of the feminine persuasion.
Then he tied the package up very
neatly, wrote the young mans
name on it and went home to
supper.
The young man preset thy came
in picked up the bundle, and with
light, joyous step wendell his way
to the home of his amorata,
whistling:
''If ever cease to love-
He was atfectionately welcomed,
and after moments general con.
versation he said:
II have brought my darling a
Christmas gift, and l bring it to
her freighted with love as pure
as ever welled up within the heart
of man. In making a selection
had my chosen ones comfort ever
before my eyes, and l think you
will agree with me, that what /
have brought you will not only
shelter your fair form from the
storms and frosts, but it will also
attract marked attention every
time you exhibit it on the street;
men and women, who may see it
fitted to your beautiful figure, will
turn and gaze after you as you
promenade the street, impelled by
a power which they can not resist.
They will not only admire its
neat tit, which will show every
curve of your beautifully rounded
form, but its handsome color, as
the garment bends and wages with
the motion of such a lovely body
will be to the masses a facinating

inst. The happy outcome of the Mime
apolis convention. followed, as it has
been, by the quick subsidence of fac
tional feeling and a general burying OF

in excellent shape. The present cam
paign opens more auspiciously and with
better prospects of Republican success
than did that of 1888, and if the Repub-

tunities they may count with more than
usual confidence on success in NOvem-

work of the campaign as soon as posi-
bic. The responsibility devolved on the
convention is that of nominating win

convention to make ticket that will be
strong at every point and entirely
worthy of Republican support in this
presidential year. There will be plenty
of good material before the convention.

spirit of the party. and there will be no
excuse for making any but a first-rate
ticket. The Journal has no favOrites
and nothing to ask of the convention,
except that it do the best possible thing
for the party, subordinating all personal,
fractional and local interests to the larger
one of party success. With good ticket
and a good platform, free from any
straddling, lodging or word-juggling.
we can carry the State and place 1t per-
manently in the Republican column.
This should be the objective point of the
conventions work.

A CASE IN POINT.

The Muncie Times relates an incident
that goes to prove that protection does
protect. 1t says that after the passage
of the Mckinley law, when foreign CAPT.
tai was seeking investment in this coun-
try. the Belfast rope-works. a very
wealthy manufacturing concern of Bel
fast, Ireland, wrote to Mr.. James Boyce,
of Muncie. making inquiries as to the
advantages of that place as location for
their works. Several letters passed be-
tween Mr.. Boyce and the firm, and the
latter seemed very favorably dis.
posed towards Muncie. Meanwhile an
election was held. the Democrats
obtained a large majority in the
House of Representatives, and at once
entered on their policy of attacking the
tariff A bill was introduced to repeal
the duty on binder-twine and other
kindred manufactures. which has since
passed the House. A few weeks ago a
representative of the Belfast house was
announced as having arrived in New
York, and Mr.. Boyce sent cablegram
to the firm, asking why he had not come
to Muncie IN accordance with the tenor
of their previous correspondence. To
his cablegram he received the following
reply by mail:
Mr.. James Boyce, Muncie. Ind:
Dear Strive duly received your cable
gram as per copy inciosed. Mr.. Weir is
now away in the West, and 1t will proba-
bly, be some little time before he returns.

Irvine altogether we doubt If it would be
advisable to erect our mill in the States in
preference to building on this side. since
the rates for freight and insurance from
paratlyely small, besides the wages and
general expenses in Belfast are considera
bly, lower than in the Statea In addition
to these advantages we would have our
mill under our own supervision. Yours
W. j. MARTIN.
This is a clear case of great manu-
featuring industry being kept out Of
the country by Democratic tariff tinker
ing in the interests of free trade. I'm
der the operation of the Mckinley law
the Belfast company had almost fully
determined to transfer its works to
Muncie, but the election of q Demo-
cratic House arrested the negotiation,
and when it became probable that the
duty on binder-twine would be repealed
they concluded to remain where they
are, because rates for freight from Bel
fast to the United States aIe compare
lively small, and "wages and general
expenses considerably lower than
they are in the States" Their let
ter shows that under the protection
afforded by the Mckinley law they
would feel perfectly safe in removing
their establishment to this country and
paying American wages. but if the duty
was repealed they could not. The Mum
Gle Times is informed that the firm en-
ploys more than 1000 hands. The es-
adjustment of such an industry in Mum
Gle would have been n valuable acQuisi-
ton for the city, and would have con-
tributed materially to making good
home market for the products of Della
ware county gardeners and farmers.
Here is one well-authenticated case of
the disastrous operation of the Demo-
cratic policy of free trade, and no doubt
there are hundreds of others.
