very stylishly dressed young fellow;
The girl who remained standing glared
at him Significantly and he in turn gared
at her indifferently. She was not al

glances and then both glared at the dude;
The girl who was seated finally nodded
encouragingly to her companion and
opening her pocket-book took out a dime,
"Wnl you please put our fares in the
box?" she asked sweetly, turning TO the
dude He took the money and walked TO

were placed upon the free list upon his

growing community In the world, and has
produced as high as 5000 tons per an

has been reduced 1000 or 5000 tons.

tected against competition from foreign

duct in the Seventh district has fallen

Mr.. Breckenridge has never denied that
he was responsible for placing these art-
cles upon the free list. but in his speeches
has boosted Of the act as IN illustration
OF his patriotism. which was broad enough
TO sacrifice a profitable industry of his
