least become engaged. He seems devoted

impediment in his speech we might have

Amy-I know he shutters dreadfully; but

Mabel-Oh, it isn't my fault.
Amy-Then what is the trouble.

about it on account of his suffering that

through and interrupts him, and l think
he is discouraged now.-Harper' Bazaar.

No Reason For Alarm.

The opposition which is cropping out
among democratic congressman to the
Wilson tariff bill affords no reason for
alarm. 1t was expected that it would
not satisfy everybody. 1t is impossible
to frame tariff bill in accordance with
the tariff doctrines Of either the Demo
cratic or Republican party that would
give general satisfaction.
The aim of those who framed the Viii
son bill was to deal fairly with all inter
ests, and at the same time present a bill
to the House that would embody the tar
if doctrines of the Democratic party.
That they have done the best that could
be done, there can beno reasonable doubt.
There are those, of course, who think
they could have framed a better bill, but
when their views, as to the kind of
a tariff bill that should be adopted, are
stated, it is found that they favor pro
tecting some article in which their con-
stituents are interested and denying pro
lection to articles about which somebody
else's constituents are concerned.
The democratic congressman who rep
resent the iron interests of Alabama,
Tennessee and Virginia, for instance, de-
clare that the iron industries of those
states will be paralyzed, virtually, if the
Wilson bill should become law, and yet
upon pig iron a duty of 22l5 per cent. is
provided. 1t is stated, and not contra
dicted, that the lowest grade of Alabama
pig iron is sold at considerably less per
ton in Birmingham than the lowest
grade of English pig iron is sold in the
English market How then would it be
possible for England to find
market for her pig iron in
this country The southern congress
men who are clamoring for a higher duty
on pig iron are unreasonable. They are
taking a course which, if generally fol-
lowed by other democratic congressman
who have grievances, would make it i'm
possible to pass a tariff bill that would, in
the remotest degree, embody the tariff
policy which the people in two elections
have so strongly approved.
The democrats who don't like certain
provisions of the tariff bill must make up
risk of defeating all tariff legislation. A
failure to pass tariff bill in harmony
with democratic doctrines would be
equivalent to an announcement that the
Democratic party does not believe in the
doctrines which it advocates. 1t cannot
afford to be placed in a position of that
kind, because, if it should at the very
next general election it would become the
minority party.

Hoke's ron on weddinps

There are several cases in the department
Of the interior AZ Washington, says the St

and wife hold office. There is no rule of the
strong opposition to it in high Official circles
1t Is looked upon as 'bad policy, Married

their husbands The places which they hOId
might be filled with widows or unprotected
women, who would be just as edicient as

Near her were TWO clerks, one married. the
other not. They were of equal ability Each.

OF greatest efficiency might be promoted
The matron was the victim. Some opposi-
ton was made to this arrangement BY the
inf uence of the reduced clerk and the an
swer was made by the department that the
ton.
Marriage is considered a lngerous experi-
ment by the clerks and they often ask -pPr-
mission to wed from their superior officers
Only few days ago the chief clerk Of the de-
partment received a letter from a Young
female clerk stating that she contemplated
matrlmony. Her parents were dependent on
her, and the man q her choice had lust en-
tered his profession and had not as vet
struck the combination to fame and fortune
She loved him, and although he could suppOrt
her, she would not like to have to impose her
parents upon him. She did not desire to i'm
peril her position, and therefore asked the
consent and the blessing of the department.
1t was given. Mr.. Daniels il is SAID wrote
to the young lady and told her that neither he
nor the Secretary of the Interior would en-

love, provided they were invited to the cere-
mony and permitted to kiss the bride.

Aword About the souaras.

The mayor has announced that the
squares south of Liberty street virtually
belong to the boys during the holidays
He would have stated what is fact if he
had said they belong to them, as far as
making them their playground is con
cerned, all the year around.
Madison square, just south of the De
Soto hotel, is the playground of well
grown boys. They have entirely DESTROYED
the grass in portions of it by using it for
games of. different kinds. Not long ago
the city adopted the policy of requiring
people to keep off the grass in the squares
and on the plats in front of houses. This
policy was enforced for while and people
began to take an interest in assisting to
improve the appearance of the streets
and squares. For some reason or other
the policy has been abandoned and the
people are becoming careless as to
whether the squares and grass plats IN
front of their residences are kept in good
condition or not.
Savannahians are gratifed when
the beauty of their CITY ATT
tracts attention, and yet few Of
them protest when the city authorities
neglect to do what they can TO preserve
its beauty. As long as there is not a
strong public sentiment in favor of beau
tifying the streets aud squares and keen
ing them in good condition little will be
done in that direction.
= A great deal of money is spent upon the
squares in Bull street, and one or two of
them are pretty. All of them would be
extremely attractive if the boys were
not permitted tie make play grounds of
them. They would be a source of eniov-
ment to the thousands of people who
make Bull street promenade Less
than half hundred boys are permitted
to deprive these thousands of a pleasure
for which they pay and to which they are
entitled. Do the city authorities expect
the people will take an interest in beauti-
flying the streets if no effort is made to
protect the trees and grass!

Christmas Almost Hero.

Christmas is almost here. 1t is hard
for the older heads to realize that fact, it
seems such a short while since the last
Christmas. But it is fact. The chill
dren know it. and if any grown-up Doubt
ing Thomas will take the trouble to no
tice the show windows along the principal
shopping streets they viii offer him evi-
dence that should be conclusive If he
still doubts, let him Join the throng going
inside of one of the stores and note the
character of the sales, the happy faces of
the purchasers and the busy rushing of
clerks. Ten minutes of such observation
will settle the question, and the
observer will be more than apt
to find himself in the notion to buy
some kind of a Christmas present
for somebody, before the stocks have been
''picked over" That identical notion,
having become a fixed purpose with the
throngs in the stores, accounts for their
presence there. They are taking time by
the forelock and making their Christmas
selections while the stocks are full, in or
der to get the best. 1t is wise move
ment; not that the stocks will be per-
mitted to run out, Savannah merchants
are too good business men for that, but
now purchaser may take plenty of time
for critical examinations whereas at a
later date Christmas purchases might
have to be made hurriedly and result I'M
satisfactorily. ...., .....- ~
The stocks that are being displayed by
Savannah merchants are certainly excep-
tional. Never were there so many beau
tiful things that Santa Claus might as
well as not take along for
the little fOlks-and for the grown
folks, too, FOR that matter-as are TO
be seen in the stores at present. In the
line of toys and holiday goods strictly
speaking, there are numerous novelties
this year. Mechanical toys, as usual, are
great favorites, and to this class have
been added electrical apparatus that will
prove highly instructive as well as enter
tanning. These are for the boys: for
the girls, the little girls. there
are the most beautiful dolls ever
seen. OF course there have been.
dolls for hundreds of years. but never be-
fore were they so well made, so pretty and
so cheap. That last remark was made
for Santa Claus ear. And whileabout it,
it may be said that prices generally APP
pear to be low this season. The mer-
chants, it seems, are depending upon large
sales, and not large percentages. for their
profits, hence are making prices very
close to original cost.
Another word to Santa Claus: Christ
mas does indeed cost money, butno money
is ever better invested, when the Christ
mas investment is made judiciously.
Christmas investments are repaidin bonds
of love and stocks of pleasure, which
yield heavy interest in unaloyed happi-
ness. And no man can get anything bet
ter for his money than that.
