protective tariff laws which are imposing
enormous burdens upon the people of tie
country to protect favored interests Sec

and third, the authority given by the Sher-

government was pledged to that course.
Silver had deprecated because it had been

cause of its increased production. He then
made plea for the pas sage of the Wilson

CECIL CHESTER'S CHAT.

Women are heroic in real tragedies :;
in the face of great calamities they will
endure what man will not, but in some
little insignificant trials of life they are
perfect towards. She will make an aW-
full fuss over some trifiing thing not
worth second thought, and go down
to the gates of death without murmur.
If those who are ever signing for
beauty would but remember that while
a beautiful face is a great joy, an
affectionate loving nature, and quick
perception will make the most ordi-
nary face beautiful there would be
more happy people on this globe than
now. Useless repining over plainness
Of feature is one of the most foolish of
things.
1t is hard to live down your follies
and wrong doings sometimes, but there
is no good done by running away from
them. But, when you live out your
life honestly the sunshine of good
deeds will surely melt the SHOWS of
scandals. You will have gained more
than by running away to a new place
where the stories would be sure to
follow.
