The mem orial to Congress Of the Amer
lean Protective Tariff League objects to
the Wilson Bill
"Bccause it will reduce wages; because
it will give employment to foreigners;
because it violently strikes at the protec-
tive system; because 1t il folly to suppose
we can buy from foreign countries and
still give our own people more employ
ment and better wages; because it will
be time enough to capture the markets
Of the world when we are assured OF our
own; because it will increase and make
more permanent the present depression,
will lower tine standard OF living. and will
rob the American producer of the Amer
ican market"

school bell has rung to arouse the people,
The opera house would not hold half Of

service and the big Methodist church was
used for overflow meetings. Redding
would preach ten minutes in one place
until he got the people to shouting and
singing and then he would go to the other
building and do likewise. At the meet
ing at sunrise this morning everybody
was urged to bring something for the
poor. Every family in town able to give
turned out with flour, meat, vegetables,
clothing and money, and the result was
vacant storeroom was filed with $500
worth of supplies. From all parts OF the
parts of the town people could be seen
coming with bundles. Two druggists,
who had been converted, packed their
whisky and beer on hand and shipped it
back to Kansas City. Several young men
publicly burned their cards and poker
chips in the streets. Such a revival was
never before known in the state.
Emporia, Kan, Feb. Ga county WON

Advice From a King.

Kabarega. the negro king of Unyoro,
In Central Africa. is man who rules his
subjects with a rod of iron. Like all ty-
rants, he regulates their smallest actions,
and host of spies inform him of any
disobedience TO his commands.
Among other things, he h made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his cour and every
deviation from it is severely punished.
An instance of this is given by Vita Has
san in his book about Emin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About a month after Hassan's arrival
in Unyoro he bought fowl and paid 30
cowries for it. while the market price
was only 25. In that part of Africa il
takes about $50 cowries to make s..
Soon afterward dragoman of the king
appeared and brought back ) cowries.
with the message:
"A fowl costs only % cowries. while
you have given 80. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him.
but he sends 10 you the advice to be care
ful henceforth in your purchases-never
to give for anything more than il is
worth. first of all in your own interest.
and next to this in order not TO disturb
the market Youths Companion.

Swedish TIen anI Women.

What enormous fellows and what
leviathan persons some If these Swe-
dish men and women are. Nowhere will
you see such noble specimens of adult
humanity a. in StUckhulm's streets
The feature seems to p-rvade all classes,
though il is not least striking among the
nobility. Six feet is "A common heigh!
for man here. and really do not be-
lieve | exaggerate in saying that men Of
Stockholm as men of 6 feet with Us.
The tallness of the women is just as
noteworthy. You remark ii less, how
ever, because they are so well proper
toned. They say it is easy to tell by
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms Of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This is very endur-
able hit at the Swedish ladies. Though
they do wear SKIES or sevens in shoe
leather. no sculptor would find fault
with them on professional grounds.
Moreover, they have most winsome
complexions, and of course blue eyes
are nowhere more intensely blue than
here.
1t is comforting to know-I speak on
the evidence of one of the pensionnaires
that Swedish Raidens have great
admiration for English bachelors. They
read French novels. but they believe in
English bridegrooms. The blood bond
still exists, / suppose, between them
and us.-Cornhill Magazine.

THE novel called"An Eclipse of Virtue
by Champion Bissell, contained in the
March number of Tales From Town
Topics" is bright and daring work. deal
ing in most original manner with that
most delicate subject. the love of woman
for man. The heroine of the story, a
beautiful young widow with an immense
fortune. acts strangely and startingly to-
ward the youth that orders her. She is
a thorough woman of the world. and con-
ceiyes that it would be foolish and dis
astrous for her to marry her penniless
suitor. So she keeps him at arm length
for some time. and then kidnaps him.
1t il a remarkable thing for woman to
do but Mrs. Perit is an extraordinary
person in every way. and her manner of
running off with her young lover is at
least interesting and exciting. The life
Of these two together is unconventionally
charming, and one rather regrets when
it is interrupted. The cause of the in
terruption is. of course. another female
a mere child of nature that fits across
the path of the widows over and i'm
mediately captures his heart. There is
a tragic ending TO the story, as there
NEST inevitably be TO such dangerous
complication of unholy incidents. The
author is master of an unusually brisk
and graceful style, and his narrative is
closely tilled with the wit. philosophy
and brisk movement that go to make up
captivating piece of fiction. Town
