FoR FREe LUM erR.
,e Wilson Bill /, Being AnsiousB Watched

WASHINGTON, Dec. se.-lnformstion re-
ceiyed here indicates that the Canadian
government Is taking no chances, and il
at work 10 secure the retention Of lumber
on the free list IN the Wilson bill. The
opposition Of certain interests 10 placing
lumber on the free list has aroused the
Canadian government. and Mr. Courtney,
the deputy minister of finance, has been
sent here. The argument that Is being
used 20 overcome the opposition to free
lumber is that, Ia case this provision Is
eliminated from the Wilson bill, an ex-
port duty will be levied by the Canadian
government on logs and lumber.
Logs arc now on the free list by the law
OF 1890, as well as the law of 1888. In
other words, the Dominion govern nent
has now taken the position that If the
United States refuses to admit sawed
lumber Tree. Il will deprive the United
States mills Of the benefit Of free Canadian
logs. The Wilson bin has a provision In
II supplementing the lumber schedule to
the effect that free lumber will not be
operative as against countries imposing
an export duty on lumber.

OF PURPOSE THE,

1t is the narrow men-that is, men Of
single and determined purpose-that
are edged men. and therefore cut their
way readily through obstacles. The
shabby, unsuccessful, laundering people.
who make the mob of life, are general
ly such because they will not concen
trate their powers, thoughts, outlay, on

vagabondS, who can turn their hand to
anything, but can do nothing well.
Admirable Crichtons" may excite our
wonder but if we have a lung or liver

Girard become Il millionaire? Money
was the one thing he coveted and
sought; money, not to be spent on a
palatiai home, elegant furniture, dan
zling equipa ges, and liveried servants,
but to be used as an Archimedian lever
to move the fiscal world. Macdonough,
the hero of Cbamplain, won his victor
les by pointing his guns at the ''big
ship" Of the enemy. Rufus ChOate
understood the need and power of con-
y
lawyers to ''mOve Heaven and earth to
carry the jury" The average man is
sure to fail if he dabbles in various
pursuits. The business man who has
half dozen kinds of business
trades dips into stock speculation, puts
a few thousand dollars into mines, a
few thousand more into a mandatory,

TOMS taking, unless he has extraor-
binary talents for business, the direct

not imply the rejection of collateral

Between careless servants and the

that hour, but through some lapse OIL
memory, at 20 East, instead of 70
West-street, and, asking If L were at

the servant that / was not, but would
be back in an hour. He went away
and returned about 5, to be told by the
same servant, after again asking for

made a third trial, and this time Il man

to hear this, added, why, no, she

mistakes are made, and yet we are apt
to regard events as infallible."
Which story suggests a funny reply
made by a servant to two women who
undertook only last week to hunt up
a fashionable bonnetmaker whose adj
dress they had lost.
The house they had fancied they had
found, though its appearance seemed
almost too fine even for the artist
they were in search of, and one of the
women asked rather hesitatingly:
Does a milliner live here?

the part of the door-opener, middle

men who refuse to enter trusts and
combinations are entitled to relief when

had been made out. 1t passing on this
