The Oregonian says the production OF
wool is increasing at d faster ratio than
the consumption, and argues that the
proper thing to do is to increase that con-
sumption by tariff legislation. As that
means increased price for woods we fail to
see how the consumption can be increased
at the same time; it usually has the con-
trary effect.

1t is certainly strange that Ameri-
can gardeners have paid so little atten-
ton to the mountain laurel, Kalmia
latifolia, as decorative plant. Probably
there is not one laurel planted in this
country for every thousand rhododen-
drons and azaleas, although the flowers
of the laurel are not less beautiful. In
deed some good judges consider them
moro beautiful than the flowers of any
other American shrub 1t is, moreover,
an easier plant to cultivate and much
less particular about soil and exposure.
One of the reasons why it has been neg

native shrub, and another is that it is

No Debasement of Currency,

The silverites seek to gain support for
their fad by the pretense that the friends
Of sound money want only gold used as
currency. The speeches and writings of
the cheap dollar advocates always rep
resent their opponents as in favor of do
ing the business of the country with
gold alone There is not the slightest
basis for this charge No one proposes, or
has ever proposed, that we should cease
using silver and paper currency, nor can
the silverites point to declaration by
any defender of our present system in
favor Of such action What is insisted
on is that every dollar used shall be of
equal value, and that no debasement of
the currency, through free coinage of
silver or fiat money, shall be permitted.

Hall Gaines Idea.

At dinner given by the Aldine club
of New York to Hall Game that gentle
man said regarding the relations be-
tween Canada and the United States:
"The relations between Canada and
the United States may sometimes be a
little strained, but there seems, to an
Englishman, to be no sufficient reason
why two great nations should not live
in friendly rivalry on this great CONT
nent. I came here, sir, by way of Nj
agara, where the river that divides your
country from Canada looks angry and
impossible enough. But dare say you
have noticed that in that watery horse
shoe angle, where the breach between
the two countries is widest, the sun can
never shine on the clouds of vapor which
rise out Of those troubled waters with
out making beautiful rainbow, which
bridges land to land.
''Gentlemen and brother authors, in
the most troubled moment between Can
ada and the United States, it only needs
the sunshine Of good faith and good fell
lowship to bridge over the differences
between you.''

after which the committee would get
down to business behind closed doors.

THE DEVILS CODE,
Legend of a Monk, the Devil and a Quick
Nights Work.

Legend of Monk, the Devil and a Quick
Nights Work.
Stockholm's public library contains a
wonderful work which is called 1.-THE
Devils Code" and which in addition
to its extraordinary name is said to be
the biggest manuscript in the world
Every letter is most beautifully drawn
and the magnitude of the work is so
great that it seems impossible for any
single monk to have done it.
The story Of the origin Of the manu-
script, however, not only gives it IS
the work of one man, but also states it
to be the work of single night The
story runs as follows:
"A poor monk had been condemned
to death, but was told mockingly by his
judges that if he was able to copy the
whole Code between darkness and
dawn he would be saved. Relying upon
the impossibility Of the task, those who
sentenced him furnished him with the
original copy Of the Code, with pen,
ink and parchment and left him.
"Death must have been as little liked
III the m1uQle ages as IL is now, Tor the
monk, forgetting the hopelessness of
his task, commenced it. Before long,
however, he saw that he could not save
his own life by such weak exertions,
and fearing cruel and horrible death
he invoked the aid of the prince of
darkness, promising to surrender his
soul if he we're assisted in the task.
"The devil kindly obliged by appear
ing on the spot, accepted the contract
and sat down to the work, and next
morning The DEVILS Code Was finished,
the monk being found dead. The copy
ing clerk from the Internal regions pre-
sumably fled away with the poor man S

finished. Pearson s Weekly.

A Confused Bridegroom.

A young man about to be married by
an Episcopal clergyman and being quite
innocent Of any knowledge of the form
OF solemnization for matrimony in the
book OF common prayer concluded that
he had better look it up and study the
answers to the questions the clergyman
was to ask him. He became cutie in
terested in and somewhat perple1ed with
the several orders therein formulated
for as many religious services, SO much
SO that when he stood up before the
clergyman with his bride to be married
in the confusion in which he found him
self he could recall but the merest
snatches of answers he had seen in the
prayer book. When the clergyman asked,
wilt thou have this woman to be
thy welded wife, to live together after
Gods ordinance?" etc., the groom cour-
ageously replied, II renounce them all,
and, by Gods help"-pausing as if he
expected the minister to help him finish
the answer. But, Disconnected by the
groom s response, the clergyman unfor-
tunately increased the embarrassment of
the occasion by muttering to himself a
little too distinctly:
II believe that this bridegroom is
non compos mentis," to which snap
judgment of his mentality the BRIDE
groom blandly responded:
"All this most steadfastly believe. /"
The ceremony was suspended. Ex-
plantations were quietly made between
them. The bridegroom was told what he
was to say. The service was then re-
sumed, and the couple were married in
due form.-New York World

Senator Elxins Gives a Dinner to Prom
inent Republic ans.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator FL
kins gave dinner to a number of
members of the Republican national
committee. There were also present
other prominent politicians Of the
party, among whom were Chairman
Garter, J. s. Clarkson Of Iowa, j. H.
Marley of Maine, Powell Clayton of
Arkansas, William J. Campbell Of Hi
nois, G.. A. Hobart of New Jersey,
Samuel Fessenden of Connecticut and
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. While
no particular object was stated for the
gathering, it is known that the meet
ing developed into discussion of party
politics and what was best to be done
during the next campaign. It was not
intended that the meeting should be in
the interest of any candidate and, in
fact, among the gentlemen present
there were friends of all the candidates.
During discussion of party measures
Chairman Carter took occasion to say
that he did not think it wise for the
Republicans to be too confident. Al
though it was apparent there was vic
tory in the air, he said that there were
reasons why it was not we'll to be op-
timistic
To Degree of Carelessness.
He thought the grave questions before
the country might well cause the Re-
publicans to pause and reflect. The
president had placed himself squarely
in favor of retiring the credit money Of
the country. It was possible that the
financial centers Of the country agreed
with him. There is no doubt that
course Of that kind, if pursued, would
make Populistic votes. Mr.. Carter
called attention to what he styled the
remarkable growth Of the Populist VOTE
He said that it had increased 24O per
cent during the past three years and it
was well for the Republicans to take
this into consideration.
Mr.. Carter was charged with being a
pessimist and different members of the
committee said that with a platform
enunciating straight Republican princi-
pies there could be no doubt of victory
victory with any of the excellent men,
who were mentioned for the nominal
ton to head the ticket.
