fool if you think that all you need is to
vote for protection against TO- Sign pau

and l as an American hen want in pro-
lection from home plutocrsts more than
from foreign paupers. There is a skunk
stealing your profits, and there is some
thing wrong with your nose. You have
republican cataFrh in your head, or you
would have smsllsd him long ago. The
best thing that you can do is to close
up this establishment for q while and
get around and hear what other people
have to say about the condition. See if
they don't smell something. Give up
republiCanism as you did perpetual mo-
tion when you found it wouldn't work,
and try some other party. These is no
use in your sitting there scratching your
head and trying to figure yourself out Of
the difficulty by republican doctrine.
My advice to you is to fall in with the
first contingent Of the Coxey army that
comes along and follow it up; and as.
sure you that IL you keep your eyes
open, by the time you reach Washing
ton, your nose will be open, too, and you
will know just where to find the skunk.

With this the old han tapped her
wings and crowed, and with start Pro-
jeCt Pete woke up and sprsng to his
feet. There was an old hen still cack-
ling and looking ct him curiously.
Rubbing his eyes he skulksd sheep
ishly out into the open air like a boy
who had been caught sucking eggs. A
new idea had strHok him. His dream
hadn't gthrown any new light on his
difficulty, but 1t had shown him that he
was on the wrong track. The old hens
lecture had shaken his faith in protection.
"Get around and hear what the other
people have to say about it." These
words Of the old hen kept cackling
through his head sll day, and before
night he had hailed q nsighbor who
was on his way home from q county
Alliance meeting and held long con-
ference with him.
Whatever the arguments used in that
roadside conference may have bsen, the
last remark made by the troubled pro-
teCtionist as he took his foot down from

That night after the chickens had
gone to roost he nailed a gunny sack
over the word Mckinley above the
chicksn-houSe door, aud when in a week
from that time an army Of common
wesleEs" marched by his place he gave
them all the eggs he had on hand and
two dozen chickens, among which was
the rooster, Baby Mckee. It is hardly
probable that those were the offerings
sent to Washington to be laid on the
alter Of protection, but it is more than
likely that they were an indication that

anouRh 80 to distinguish him from his
naivhborg. and to make him a very in
sareatinR character. What "PrOject
Pete" ss he was called, was doing, or
What new scheme he had In mind, was
always q subject Of comment in the
neiphborhood, for be was never without
4 scheme or q project Of some kind or
another. II was either some new device
in the way Of machinery or a project
eor making money at some new enter
priss that had never before been tried in
that locality. When one OF those
schemes took possession OF him, he was
an enthusiast on that subject for the
time being, to the exclusion Of all others.
He talked and thought Of nothing else
till he had put the thing to the test and
proved ita success, or failure, which lat
tar was more often the case, He was prac-
ticsl TO the extent that he never became
enthusiastic or cranky over anything
that he didn't have the means Of testing.
AT least, he had some Of the means, but
il very often happened that in making
his calculations he failed to take into
confederation some very important ele-
rnent, the lack Of which resulted in the
failure OF the undertaking. When no
conceived the idea Of irrigating twenty
acres of land from q spring that ran
about ten barrels Of water Q day, he be-
came greatly worked up over the pros
pect Of big crops and big profits, and he
would stop the neiRhbors as they drove
along the road, and explain, by the help
Of diagrams drawn in the dust with q
stick, just where the bitches were to rur
and where the reservoirs for storing tho
surplus water were to be located. But
when he found that twenty rods wal
about as far az he could coax his LITTLE
rill Of water away from the spring, ht
abandoned irrigation, and turned his at
tention TO something else. He tried In
succession carp ponds, cranberry'grow-
ing, bee culture, raising white rabbits,
silk culture, castor beans, and perpetual
motion. He tried by a process OF In
breeding to produce breed Of non-wsl.
lowing hogs, and when that failed he
invented hog trough that would dumE
q hog without spilling the water when
ever it tried to wRllow in it.
In all OF these undertakings he tool
his neighbors, and even strangers, intt
his confidence. There was nothing sell
fsh about him. All his schemes for got
ting rich were common property. Al
soon as he got his plans FOR some under
taking well fixed in his own mind, thu
next move was to try to educate others
TO thinking the same way; 30 he would
hail the nsighbors that were passing BY
70 and from town, and planting one foot
firmly on the hub Of q front wheel Of
the wagon, he would hold his victim
captive till he had fully explained and
illustrated his project, whatever it might
happen to be. Often the horses, ahar-
ing their owners impatience to get
home, would, little by little, move fifty
or q hundred feet from the place where
they were first stopped, but old Pete,
without removing his foot from the hub,
would hop along on the other foot till
he had finished the unfolding Of his
scheme in oil its details.

accumulated stock OF knowledge that
compensated for the lack Of book learn
nlng. Republican gatherings, such as
conventions, rallies, and public speak
ings, were the one great source OF his
political knowledge. He scarcely ever
lot pass an opportunity to hear @ re-
publican speech, and when he had heard
one he could repeat it almost word for
word. He knew that the low price Of
wheat was caused by oVsrproduc tion,
and could give the number OF bushels
raised in India, Russia, Hungary, Ar
gentine Republic, and all the other RO.-
eign counties. He was opposed to free
coinage of silver, because he wanted
every dollar to be an honest dollar, and
didn't want foreign countries to dump
their silver on us. And free trsdel He
would drop the explanation Of the
mechanism Of an anti-vermin hens nest,
or an automatic egg tester any time to
expose to some benighted friend the in
iquities Of free trade. The one article
in the republican creed that he believed
the most implicitly in was protective
tariff.
When he first heard q speech on the
Mckinley bill and noted the number Of
farm products that were on the pro-
tected list his enthusiasm knew no
bounds. Wheat protected, rye, barley,
hogs, cattle, straw, and eggs, all pro-
teCted, but when he heard the last item,
eggs, mentioned, an idea struck him that
took his breath away. That idea was
that now was the time to go into the
chicken business. And before going
to sleep that night he had all planned
out in his mind an elaborate hen-house
with arrangements for heating in winter
and ventilRting in summer, with apart
ments for incubRtOrs and young chick
ems, and troughs for running water, and
roosts on hygsnio principles, and the
profits that run up into the thousands
all figured out. Early the next morning
he was at work on the foundation Of his
hen-house, and before sundown he had,
with his foot on the hub Of various front
wagon wheels, hoped sll OF q hundred
feet and drawn the ground plan Of his
new building on as many as four differ
emit front end-gates.
From that time till his hen house
(which by the way was, when completed,
hardly as elaborate az at first plRnned),
was finished and stocked 1t occupied his
whole time and thought. The only va
cation that he took was to 90 to hear q
republican speech whenever the oppor-
tunity offered. The Mckinley bill and
chicken farming were associated to-
gether in his mind; all his arguments
were loaded with eggs at one end and
McKinleyism at the other.
Chicken farming prospered with old
Pete for year or so. Nothing that he
had ever undertaken before did so well.
He had never engaged in an enterprise
before that was encouraged and fostered
by direct legislation. It seemed to him
that there had been q special act this
time FOR his benefit, and he had double
motive in striving to make this under
taking q success above all others. One
motive was to redeem himself in the
estimation Of his neighbors who were

started into the business, the eggs were
just as big and as full OF meat as they
ever were, and the Mckinley bill was
still standing guard over the American
hen and protecting her from the compe-
tition Of Queen ViCtoris's Canadian hens
and the psuper hens OF Europe. He had
recently heard republican speakers ex-
plain how the fact that the democrats
were in power aud threatening to tam
per with the tariff had chilled the iron
in the Rorgss Of the country, and
qusnched the fire in the furnaces, and
stopped the spindles in the factories. He
could understand all that, but then the
American hen was still running on full
time, and every dozen Of eggs was still
protected by a Scent tariff, and yet the
price was only cents dozen. That
was q puzzler, and someone was asking
him to explain it every day. Returning
one day from marketing his eggs, and
feeling sOrely puzzled over the condition
Of the market, and annoyed by the ques-
tions that had been asked him, he went
into the Mckinley house and sst down
on an egg case to think the matter all
over and try to find some solution to the
problem. He applied to the condition
every argument advanced by republican
ism, but none Of them seemed to fit the
egg case. He pondersd deep and long
without getting q ray Of light on the
subject. As balm to his troubled feel
ings, he commenced to enumerste over
in alphabetical order the articles on the
protected list in the Mckinley bill and
had got about half way through whom
his attention was attracted by an old
hen rising up from her nest where she
had just deposited o. protected egg, and
commencing to cackls in Q tone that
seemed to indicate more Of reprosCh and
censuFe than Of pride and bOasting. She
was an old hen that had been in the
family for years. 1t was this same hon
that he had fed the silk worms to when
his silk culture enterprise proved fail
urs. This hen had scratched out the
oranberries when they refused to grow,
and she had converted white rabbit
meat into eggs when white rabbit-rsisinR
was abandoned. She had scratched for
bugs and worms in the bottom Of the
carp pond when it dried up, and had
utilized an abandoned perpetual-motion
machine 10 hatch brood Of chickens in.
She had been the first hen to test the
patent Rnti.Vermln hens nest, and to
try the new hygsnic hen roost. She had
been with him through thick and thin,
and he had learned to respect her judg-
ment, and that she should CaOkle just
now in q reproachful tone Of voice made
him feel queer. Suddenly the caCkling
took the form of words, and the words
seemed to be addressed strsi Sht to him.
He was all attention in an instant, and
the hen, seeing that he was listening,
balanced herself oD the edge Of the nest,
and in q clear, Caokling tone Of voice de-
liVsred the following lecture: "Thsre
is the last egg that 1 will lay till prices
60 up. Not another egg will / produce
at 6 cents a dozen. Relying on your
promise Of protection against the pauper

ance OF good prices for my products, |

The brick buildings to be removed to
make room for the new factory, have con-
siderable local history connected with them.
The north house is one of the Oldest brick
blocks in the city, was erected in 1904 and
used by the old Augusta and Hallowell
bank until 1872, when it was used
for carriage work. The south block
was built 60 years or more ago, and has
generally been occupied for the blacksmith
and carriage business. The first named
building contained on its second floor a
handsome hall, used by singing classes,
dancing schools, etc. Col. Livermore re,
members the business of the bank, and calls
to mind the fact that many of the young
men of that day attended dancing schools
held there. Any who have visited the upper
floor will recall the elaborate finish and
trimmings. 1t IS worthy of note that the
late Horace Parlin once manufactured in
these buildings the celebrated Parlin boot.

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.

Sometimes a man who wants to stop
street car snaps his fingers at the driver
or motorman; it seems as though the man
would be exasperated by that, but he
doesn't appear to be. Some people lift
hand high in the air and hold it there,
and some wave an umbrella or cane; but
the great majority of people have dis
covered that for all practical purposes in
stopping a car a toothpick IS as good as
fence rail; all that is Necessary is to catch
the drivers eye; it isn't necessary to shove
a house on the track in front of him.
One of the advantages of the trade of
type setting is that man can work at it
up to later period of life than men can
work at most other trades Every now
and then stories are printed about work
ing compositors who are so years old or
over, but there are certainly not many
blacksmiths or carpenters or engineers or
bricklayers or matters or pressmen who
can follow their trade at that age There
are lots of tpye settlers 70 years old, and
bigger lots 80 years old; but there are
very few of the other skilled trades at
which men can pick up a living when
they are go or 10. 1t is also fact that
