Horne Training.

One popularity of the economy OF
the training stable is that except
when at exercise, the horses are
brought up on the solitary system. y
Each box is isolated from the rest,
and though there is a connecting
door, it is only opened at the hours
when grooming and cleaning are go-
ing on; thus the inmates cannot
converse, as every horse likes to
do, with their neighbors, and so de-
rive that relief from ennui which tho
mere presence of another of its kind
seems to give to these sympathetic
though undemonstrative creatures.
Routine is the essence of the svs.
tenn. The work set them may be
varied, but the horses are like an
Eight" in training; so much SO in
deed that each horse has its particu-
lar place in the string when at exer.
else. Sunday is the only day that
differs from the others; for then the
horses do not go out. One result IN
that they become exceedingly bored"
with training and it's consequent iso-
lation. This probably accounts for
the extraordinary fondness which
some of them develop for other ami.
mails which are allowed to share
their box. London Spectator.

The BIackfeet IndInns.

According to a current paragraph here's
how they got their name: Years and years
ago the original father OF the Blackfeet

Peeganah, or the rich man The second
was called Keno, or the bloody man. The
third son was not named Nothing but i'll
luck followed the unnamed son, and he
was looked upon as Jonah One day he
told his father that his misfortune was due
to the fact that he had no name. His
father, who was about to light his pipe
with piece Of burning wood, drew the
charred stick across the boys foot. A
black mark was left ON the sons moccasin.

shall be called Blackfoot" From that
time Blackfoot had the best OF luck, and

The Green Room.

The term green room, which is as
old as the days of the Elizabethan
drama, was derived originally from
the green rlshes strewed upon the
floor of the retiring rooms of the
actors and actresses in place of a
carpet in the early theaters. After
ward paper of a green color was
used on the walls and green baize
took the place of the rushes, so that
the name came TO be retained to the

These home industries have you in

They are selfish among themselves and
compete for your trade until they fl nd
that they have made more goods than
they can sell, then the prices drop, and
II they continue competition they will
ruin themselves, EecauSe Over-produc-
ton means just exactly what they
promised cheaper goods than Europe
can give US; consequently they call
meeting and Say together: DO you see
that high fence around our consumers?
They can't buy abroad at these ruinOuS
prices. That fence was made for our
express benefit. Let's agree to make
up the price as high as we can get the
fence. the higher the fence the BETTER"
and the agreement is made and adj
hered to. If by chance capitalist,
or combination of capitalists. gets
the upper hand and wishes to
clear all competitors from the field,
they first offer to buy, and, if not sue
cessful, they ruin by selling at such low
prices that the small competitors are
forced to the wall. Hence the origin
OF trusts. Protection, the high fence,
makes trusts. Competition is death.
Cheap goods are an imp0sslbility, and
the increase of wages is charged back to
the laborer i'll tax by paying higher
prices for hOmemanufactured goods.
My Republican friends say that the
foreigner pays the tax.
The Mckinley bill here comes to our
aid and proves the absurdity of this.
This bill put sugar on the free list. and
the price of this article was reduced 100
per cent. There, however, was duty
on it for thirty years, and during that
time we paid at the rate of 81 for 10
pounds. Now we get about twenty
pounds for the same money. Then,
when the tariff was On sugar we paid so
cents Of every dollar we spent in sugar
to some one for something. What was it
for, and who got it? This was tax paid
by you to the sugar import trust fot the
benefit of having home industry. L
wish to ask if the foreigner pays that
tax? The sugar industry got fifty cents
out of every dollar the American people
spent for sugar for thirty years. Is it
at all strange that there should be a
trust? That trust is only one of the
many that the fence has made. That
tax of fifty cents on the dollar IS only
one article !; protection still protects
many more. Is it a wonder that the
farmer and laborer are uniting their
forces to avert the ruin that protection
is heaping upon them? l say to them
let down the fence; your organization
will come to naught but anarchy and
revolution. Take back your liberty and
give up your gold. Return to your con-
stitutiOn and Danish privilege; ii you
don't, ruin is inevitable. For thirty-two
years your statue has been blasphemy
