Has any promise chat has 8

Has any promise that has ever
been made by protectionist to the
wool-growers of this country ever been
fulfilled? Did they not get higher
prices for wool under three-cent duty
than under a six-cent duty? Did they
not get higher price under a six
cent duty than under a ten-cent
duty? Did they not get a higher price
under ten-cent duty than they are
getting now under an eleven-cept duty?
Is there a wool-buyer in the country,
who is not an enthusiastic advocate of
protection, willing to spend large
amounts of money TO have it contin-
ued? Do men usually enthusiastically
advocate and contribute enormous cor
ruption funds to keep up the price of
that which they have to buy, when
their yearly profits and their business
depends upon their buying cheap and
selling dear?-N. Y. World.

lie Had Reason TO Repent Asking Ques.
ton About Eve.
There is a crusty old bachelor on Fourth
street who is d confirmed woman hater and
who never misses an opportunity for saying
something sarcastic and disagreeable about
the fair sex But he met more than his match
the other day in plucky little woman, who
metaphoricallv speaking, wiped up the earth
with him, much 20 the delight OF his friends,
who were greatly amused at his discom-
fture, SAYS the Louisville Post
The old bachelor inquired why. when Eve
was manufactured of a spare rib, a servant
wasn't made at the same time to wait on her.
The little woman responded promptly: Be
cause Adam never read the news spapers until
the sun got down behind the palm trees and
then, stretching, yawned out: Isn't supper
most ready. my dear" Not he. He made the
first ire and hung the kettle over it himself.
I'll venture, and pulled the radishes, peeled
the potatoes and did everything else he ought
to do.
He chopped the kindling brought in the
coal and did the chores himself, and he never
brought home half dozen friends to dinner
when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates. -
The little woman stopped moment for
breath and went on with renewed vigor:
And Adam never stayed out till u o'clock at
a political meeting. hurrahing for some candi-
date and then scolding because poor Eve was
sitting up and crying inside the gates. He
never played billiards, rolled tenpins aud
drove last horses, nor choked Eve with cigar
smoke.
He never loafed around the corner gro
ceries and saloons while Eve was rocking lit
tie Gains cradle at home. In short. he didn't
think she was especially created for the pur-
pose of waiting on him, and wasn't under the
: impression that it disgraced man to Tighten
the wiles cares a little. That's the reason Eve
didn't need hired girl and with it is the rea-
son that her descendants do"
She drew another breath and was about to
continue, when the bachelor pulled his hat
down over his eyes and sneaked away amid
the laughter of the crowd.

Society Calls a spade a Spade.

It has been said, with Che usual injustice of
the ''smart" saying. that one-haIf of society
is Aippant and the other half morbid. OF
course, this is not true, but there is a partial
truth in it. 1t may at least be said that there
is quite too much fraukness in society-that
a spade is too often called a spade. and in
way which brings shudder to one who has
preserved some faith in the traditions of gra-
