although, they out-ht and out-tielded
the Stars. Harper was effective after
the second inning, only two hits being
made off him. but he had little control
of the ball through lack Of practice.
Mason was hit harder than he has been
before this season. but the Stars won
by punched hits. The game was played
under protest of Rochester Harper be-

men playing better I'm their new posi-

off the fielding honors of the day for
brilliant work. Latham took hard hit

Just at dusk / turned aside to q
squatter's cabin to ask shelter for the
night, and as the door stood wide open
and there was a light on the table,
saw the inmates before they knew Of
my presence. There were only two
man and wife-and she had him down
on the floor with both hands in his hair.
AS i knocked on the door jamb she
looked up and said:
"Howdy, stranger--cum right in."

The woman arose and began to pre-

cut some tirewood, and nothing further
was said about the matter that night.

From the far northwest of this country
to Norway, Sweden aud Denmark seems
great way to go to spend the Christmas
holidays, and yet thousands Of Scandina-
vians do it every year. They go TO New
York city in trainloads during the latter
part of November and the first part of De-
cember, the joliest, happiest, most con-
tented emigrants that leave this country.
The trip across the continent is short
ened by good nature and recounting of
experiences, for they are n simple folk and
readily make friends and exchange conf
dences. They are home loving people,
and after being here for few years and
accommodating little money they almost
invariably return to Scandinavia to visit
and to tell of their successes here.
Those who have gone home to visit this
fall are generally men In the prime Of life
who have established interests here, and
who will return in the spring, after two
or three months Of enjoyment and wonder
telling among their relatives and friends.
All these emigrants carry much ready
money, with which they are liberal to a
fault That which they have is entirely
due to their own energy. They are pro-
ducers of the most valuable kind. They
come here with the idea Of becoming citi-
zens and landowners, and although they
retain their affection for the old home and
the old life they never forget or belittle
the advantages that they have received
here or the allegiance that they have prom
ised to their adopted country. A large
percentage of those who are now visiting
at their birthpaces will bring wives back
with them.

THAT TARIFF TINKERING

Is to be gone at with vigor by the Re.
publican fuglemen at Washington. The
ways and means committee has an.
nounced series of twelve hearings for
the benefit OF industries interested in
changing the rates of duty. These hear
ings will begin on Monday, December
2S, and continue till and including Mon.
day, January II. Then no doubt the
committee will put into the bill rates of
duty that will please the manufacturers.
The iniquity of these excessively outra-
geous tariffs may be seen by the way
the Carnegies are protected. BY this they
are given control of our market, and yet
they are able without any protection at
all to sell their products to japan in
competition with these same foreign
manufacturers. American laws should
protect the American consumer against
the rapacity of the protected" Ameri-
can manufacturer.
Mr.. Carnegie is advertised to write for
young peoples paper on "The Habit
of Thrift" 1t is not likely he will advise
getting the government to help the
thrift by a specific duty Of go per cent
and valorem.

LIBERTY AND JUSTICE.

What an indefinite term is "liberty."
Preachers sermonize on it, but seldom
define it-hardly say what they mean by
it. People talk about liberty, but equal
and exact justice is seldom referred to.
What is liberty without justice7 And
what is justice but equal rights and
equal opportunities.
Says the declaration of independence:
"All men are created equal, endowed by
their creator with certain unalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness, that to secure
these governments are instituted among
men deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, etc"
The constitution was adoEt ted "in order
to form more perfect union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro-
vide for the common defence, promote
the general welfare and secure the bless.
ings of liberty" Some of these very men
who prate about liberty are ready to call
men anarchists, who dare to differ from
them, thus showing how little they
know or care about liberty in practical
way. A modern writer says: "He is
free man whom the truth makes free
and all are slaves beside"
John Stuart Mills essay on liberty
treats the question ably and fully. He
shows that the struggle between liberty
and authority is very ancient, and that
by liberty was meant protection against
the tyranny of the political rulers. The
aim was to prevent the vultures from
preying upon the weaker members. He
refers also to the tyranny of the majority
and speaks of the limitation of the power
of government over individuals as well as
comforting favors, such as privileges and
franchises, thus enslaving and robbing
the people. The learned author also
speaks of religious liberty and the great
writer's to whom the world owes what
t has of religious freedom, saying in.
tolerance is yet so natural to mankind
that hardly anywhere is toleration prac.
tically realized. He lays down the
principle "that the sole end for which
mankind are warranted individually in
interfering with liberty of action of q
citizen is self-protection." 1t is to pre-
vent harm to others. He well says
"Genius can only breathe freely in an
atmosphere of freedom" And "the
despotism of custom is everywhere the
standing hindrance of human advance
ment." But this article must come to 6
close, although much more might be
said on the subject. The essay consists
of five chapters, treating of "liberty oI
thought and discussion, ofindividuality
as an element of well being, "of the limits
of the authority of society over the
individual -

be remembered that the only importa-
ton Of lumber is from Canada, and,
while it is desired to levy duty on such
importation, there is nothing to prevent
Cana ian workingmen from coming
across the border into American lumber
camps, which they do in large numbers.
high protective duties on lumber would
mean higher prices to the consumer,
with little benefit to any one but million
aire lumbermen who already have made
fortunes out of the business. Lumber is
a commodity that should be as cheap as
possible, in order to encourage building.
Thus would encouragement be given to
labor, and the consumer would be bene-
flied at the same time.

Changing Fortunes.

At Christmas time last year
So many friends that now are gone were here.
So many hopes We're glowing then unspoken
So many faiths were strong that now lie
broken
And loving hearts that trusted without fear
At Christmas time last year.
At Christmas time this year
So many of us find the world drear
And barren desert wherein blooms no rose,
With mountain peaks surrounding it whose
SHOWS
Have chilled our hearts and turned life's foli-
age scar
At Christmas time this year.
At Christmas time next year,
Who kn lows what changing fortunes may be
near?
Take courage, then our night shall turn to
day.
From bright'ning skies the clouds must roll
away,
And faith and love and hope shall all be here
At Christmas time next year.
