Wood & Watson, 33 Westminster street,
have n way OF selling gents furnishings
and hats so low as to attract attention
and occasion comment. The hats, the
same quality that their competitors are
selling for $3.50, has card marked s1.5O
on them, and they are in all the lstest
shapes and shades.

Kindness:
1t is a fact that much more can be ac-
complished with kindness than with
anything else. There are some persons
who do not think so. To be gruff in
speech and manner seems to be their idea
OF getting along. some have the same
feeling as the old Quaker when appealed
to by the father of some headstrong boys.
" What shall j do with them?" he asked
OF his Quaker friend. "Well," was the
reply, "thou shouldst be kind to them.
Take them up on the roof some time and
push them off,"

In conversation with several business
men on Westminster street, learned that
they deplore the contemplated strike at
Olneyville. The weekly pay roll of the
operatives amounts to 5000 and goodly
portion of that amount found its way to
this city. IL there was anything they
could do to avert the calamity they say
they would willingly do it.

The way to buy land is get it right,
somewhere in or out of the city. The
nearer your land is to the center OF the
town the better. For instance land
near Market Square is better to own
than land in Seekonk. IL you want
suburban property look over the lots of
the Pawtuxet- by-the-Sea plat. For few
hundred dollars you can obtain some
thing, and own something which will
grow in value. When you get ready to
build you have got . garden spot. A. L.
Andrews, 81 Westminster street, will give
you full particulars.

THE WOMAN QUESTION AGAIN.

From the Ruralist.
A friend of mine recently suggested
that valuable contribution might be
made to current literature in the shape
of an essay on The Dignity of the Din
ner Table. | hope that he may some
day write such an article, and | will not
spoil it by giving advance sheets to the
public. Yet in this age of clubs and So
cieties, when we are all president or
secretary of something or other, and our
houses are becoming mere places in
which to sleep and hang away our clothes.
it is well enough just to remind our
selves how near to the center of the
earthly universe she sits who rules over
household. AS she presdes at
the table she sits in judgment over
the products of many thousand
mems labor. Her demand for differ
ent quality of -four throws the millstones
out and brings the rollers into a thousand
mills. Her demand for different quail
ity of napkin and tablecloth, anticipated
in her inquiries and those of her sisters
two years ago, has caused the cultiva-
tion of flax of different fiber and the
erection of mills with new looms. The
silver market fuctuates with her de-
mand for more or less of plate Toe
fowls of the air and the fish of the sea

paths of the sea-all these are brought
for her approval or disapproval and at
her imperial mandate are hunted and

pleasure. If she demands quail on toast,
hundreds of hunters seek quail; they
turn their attention TO ducks when she
wants canvasbacks, Ten thousand farm
ers rear brOOds Of turkeys, because they
have learned that at Thanksgiving she
will insist upon turkey and take no sub
stitute; and if she decides to go back to
the customs Of Merrie England and de

WORTH WHILE.

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is the one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test Of the heart is trouble.
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises Of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without within no voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But It's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the honor of earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered today;
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile,
tits these that are worth the homage of earth,
For we find them but once in while.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-05-08

women feel that they must set elaborate
tables for their city guests, and often wear
them Sc Ives out in their efforts to prepare all
kinds of dainties, requiring great number
of extra dishes for their serving, thus greatly
increasing the household work. A small,
informal picnic in some place near enough

seem so commonplace to the farmers

AS far as possible women should make it

of vast amount of power. No association
can be left entirely in the hands of any one
class of women without becoming narrow

thing is so helpful substitute for frequent

of the country, and to an observant coun-
try woman the study of her alumn@ asso-

A HELPFUL CORNER.
APRIL.

April laughed and threw kiss;
Then afraid it seemed amiss
Quick she dropped shining tear.
And it straightway blossOmed here;
Seeing this. she then threw more,
Crying harder than before
A tear for every kiss she threw,
From every tear a blossom grew,
Till she, laughing, ran away,
And left her flowers all to May.

life will admit for moment the

That Dollar Wheat.

American Economist: The annual

just issued by the Department. Of Ags

as to the realization of those dollar
wheat promises that We're made b.
the free traders during the president
ial campaign Of 1892. We according
ly take the averages for the three Nc
Kinley years of protection and com
pare them with the averages during
the two years that the free traders
have had the opportunity to give the
farmers their dollar wheat. Thus:

During the three years Of protec-
ton, 1902, the f.rmers Of the
United States received an average Of
$l7O,5S3, 100 a year more money for
their wheat crops than they did in
1898 and 1894 under the free trade
administration. The wheat crop was
worth 1854 an acre more under pro-
lection than in the free trade times.
The avera &c price was IS 10 cents
per bushel on the farm under protec-
ton, but only 5la cents bushel since
the free traders have had the oppor-
tunity to pay the farmers that dollar
a bushel.
It must not be thought that the
low price during 1898 and 1894 was
due to unusually large crops. It was
not. The average harvest during the
three years of protection was sos, 1885,
600 bushels year, whereas it aver
aged only 428, l99,570 bushels year
for 1898 and 1894. Under protection.
the yield averaged 1872 bushels an
acre, but during the two years of free
trade administration the yield aver
aged only 1913 bushels an acre. The
free traders had everything in their
favor for high prices, yet the farm
value of their wheat has been just
49, cents bushel short of that prom
ised dollar. Can this be the result Of
selling in the markets of the world?
