THE SUGAR TRUST.

Chicago Times DEM: But now, in
the sole and exclusive interests of the
monopolistic sugar trust, the senate
is about to undo the good work already
done; to upset the reciprocity arrange
ment with Germany instead Of extend
ing it to other countries; to close the
greatest of our foreign markets
against every American product. 1t
stands to reason that if this iniquitous
sugar clause goes into effect and our
markets are thereby closed TO her beet
sugar Germany will retaliate at once
by re-enacting the legislation barring
out American pork in every form and
restoring the old high tariff, which will
shut out our cereals and breadstuffs
and give Russia monopoly Of her
trade. Germans viii suffer. for food
will be dear, but our farmers will
suffer, too. There ID no reason for put

DR.. Holmes and the Reporter.

A young newspaper man, just out Of
Harvard who has since made his way
in the world with entire credit to him
self and the college, was sent down to
Beverly Farms to interview DR.. Holmes
on his birthday. The young man, being
a gentleman, was a little afraid that he
was committing what would be very
unwelcome impertinence, but there was
no way out of it, except by way which
also led out Of his situation. So he went
with fear and trembling. He found the
doctor as gracious as could be, and when
the interview was over the autocrat
himself drove the young man down to
the station, chatting pleasantly all the
way.
At the station there was some time
to wait and DIR. Holmes, with twinkle
in his eye, suggested that he and the
young journalist go over to the store and
be weighed. The young man was very
nearly of the same height and build as
the doctor, but at the time was in rather
poor health. DIR. Holmes made the jour
nalist get on the scales first. He weigh
ed exactly 1870 pounds, Then DIR. Holmes
himself got on and tipped the beam at
40 and was very much pleased. ltwas
plain enough that he had "sized up"
the young man as about of his own pro-
portions and had guessed that he could
outweigh him, and it had tiokled hls
fancy to find himself at tine age Of 80 a
"better man" than the youth. Boston

Lowrey, formerly of Pittsburg, but now

this conclusion very we'll
On the morning of the day that Rev
El Santa Anita won the American
Derby at Washington park Lowroy's
little girl, while looking over pro-
gramme of the events which he had
carelessly left about the house, was
struck with the name "Peytouia, " the
name of an entry in the first race of the
day. So deeply was she impressed with
it that she asked her father to place her
savings Of small change on Peytonia,
the total amount being So, which he
agreed to do. On arrival at the park he
at once discovered that Peytonia's
chances for victory appeared to be very
slim, one boollmaker Offering 400 to
against her. Lowrey, nothing daunted,
placed the So per order, and III doing
50 provoked u smile from the man on
the block, which so nettled him that he
promptly placed So moro at 40 to for
the place. As has SO often happened be-
fore, Peytonia fairly dropped from the
clouds" when the horses were fairly

the amazement of every one won the

LOVE IN MASQUERADE.

1 dreamed that Love came knocking
At your door one winter night
While the specter trees were rocking
In blast Of savage blight.
"Oh, perishl' poor Love pleaded.
"Ope the door, for loves dear sale.p
But although you heard and needed
Still no answer would you make:
Not one word OF sweet replying
Would your naughty lips have said
Even If Love had lain there dying,
Even If Love had lain there deadl
Then ] dreamed that Love oerruled you.
For in tenderest voice he cried,
may, dear lady, l sadly fooled You,
Since l am not Love, but Pride"
And you straightway oped your portals.
With merry and welcome nod,
To that wiliest of immortals,
To that masquerading god.
All, you oped your portals lightly,
Not for Loves but Pride's dear sake,
Yet, lady, If dreamed rightly,
Love soon taught you your mistalxel
