UNpoNg BY HIS DOUBLE.
A Man Who Pressed Supposed
Compliment Too Far.

Compliment Too Far.
When you have been compliment
cd-or when you think you have been
complimcnted- about the best
thing to DO about it is to let il 90 at
that and not try to make a serial story
CT it.
Paul Wilslach, Of the Columbia
theater staff, was taught this at one
time in his life. Mr.. Wilstach was
entertaining theatrical friend and
his wlc--two persons whose latest
venture had led them into the south
west One day in the course of the
visit Mr. Wilstach and the masculine
gucst-call him Mr.. Davis for short
were conversing about famous
western characters The talk
touched upon Frank James

considered az one of the stars of
southwestern life" said Wilstach adj
miringly ct must be great thing
to be famous man even if your fame
is of peculiar sort by the way, !
don't remember ever having seen a
picture of Frank James. What does
he look like, anyway"
"Well, do you know Mr. Davis re-
piled, 81 don't believe | ever saw one
man who resembled another so closely
as you yourself resemble him. have
noticed it frequently and have in
tended TO speak to you aboutit.'
Mr. Wilstach was delighted. To
he the double of a man known proba-
bly, all over the continent was some
distinction.
But he could not be content to rest
in his delight. He must press the
limit of it. He wanted other people
to know about it. For of what use is
it to look like famed character mn
less the fact is generally known?
There was to be theater party of
friends of the Wilstachs and Davises
that night, and before the party had
reached their boxes the proud Mr.
Wilstach had succeeded in conveying
the story of his resemblance to all the
members, with the exception Of Mrs.
Davis, wife of the man who had or
iginally told him Of it. Watching his
chance when he was sure of attention
Of all his friends, Wilstach said: ooh,
Mrs Davis, you know Frank James,
theeminentwestern ex-bandit, rather
well, do you not?" Mrs Davis con-
ceded that she did.
"Tell me what sort of looking
man he is? Whom would you say he
resembles?"
"Oh," said Mrs. Davis, carelessly,
81 should say like almost any old clod-
hopping-looking farmer-one of the
kind, you know, who patronizes the
gold-brick industry and blows out the
gas"
The curtain went up on the next
act then, and Mr.. Wilstach sat in 81
lent and depressed pain, and no one in
all that box party had tender word
of sympathy for him.-Chicago Rec

melancholy Results OF Her Efforts IN
Literature.
''The most gorgeous Lady Blessing
Ton, as she was christened by her very
old admirer, DR., Parr, has long since
passed into the regions of oblivion for
the general world, says the London
Spectator. AS an authoress she never
succeeded in making any mark,
though she worked at the business
as hard as any of her successors of the
present day. Her novels were many
and fashionable, Mrs. Gore-like in
their method and filled with strange
and wandering scraps of French. She
edited books of beauty for fancy
clients and at fancy prices and when
the News was first started under the
editorship of Charles Dickens she was
offered an engagement as purveyor
of fashionable intelligence and asked
$500 a year for it. She was offered
either e400 as a certainty or $3.50 for
six months on approval and confident
ly chose the latter, with the melan-
choly result at the end of the term
Dickens having in the meantime re-
tired from his uncongenial work and
John Foster having accepted his post
she was informed that her services
were no longer wanted.
She fought for her hand hard
enough in later days, poor lady, after
years of Arabian Nights" luxury with
her magnificent husband, but we fear
that her position in the literary world
was not at any time one of solid Sc
curity. Privately she lived under
cloud from the scandal which always
connected her name with Count
d'Orsay and, we suppose, not without
reason. At all events, they never APP
pear to have taken any steps to defend
themselves against the charges of pa
pers like the Age, which anticipated
similar class of journals that sprang
up in our own day, and rather suf-
fered judgment by default.

Nails of Various Sorts.

The first nails were undoubtedly
the sharp teeth of various animals;
then, it is believed, pointed frag-
ments Of flint followed. The first
manufactured metal nails were of
bronze. The nail with which Jael
killed Sisera was a wooden tent-pin
probably pointed with iron. Bronze
nails have been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings, in several places in
France and in the Valley of the Nile.
Until the present century iron nails
were forged, blacksmith being able
to make only two or three dozen a day.
The first cut-nails were made by
Jeremiah Wilkinson in Rhode Island
in 1775 The first patented nail ma

THE THREAT OF RETALIATION

II is quite apparent that the pro-
tectionists care very little about re-
venue, although they absurdly claim
that protection duties are necessa-
ry in order to obtain revenue.
Therefore the threat of retaliation
made by foreign countries which
disapprove of the Dingley bill
amounts to very little with them
so long as it affects principally the
raw material produced largely by
American farmers. Retaliation of
that nature is in fact rather to the
advantage of these tariff jobbers,
because it makes the supply of
home raw material greater than
the demand, and consequently en-
abIes them to buy at their own
prices, while prohibitiye duties on
finished products enable them to
sell at home at their own prices
Thus a double advantage is obtain
ed There are just and intelligent
people in the east, however, who
see that retaliation means a severe
limitation of markets to the necessa-
rily limited home demand, and that
limited production means idle work.
men who, during enforced idleness,
become a dangerous element Of our
population, threatening the peace
Of the country and the stability of
commerce, Those who can see the
vast network Of evils incident to
high protection and the consequent
retaliation which must follow favor
the broadest markets possible for
American industry Unrestricted
trade invites unrestricted produc-
tion and unrestricted production
operates automatically in the direc-
tion Of the fullest employment Of la
Dor, When production is limited
labor is abundant, and consequent-
ly obtains low wages, When pro-
duction rs unrestricted labor is in
demand and brings higher wages,
1t Is simply the old natural law Of
supply and demand, In view Of
these facts, the threat of retala-
tion becomes serious matter to
American laborers and producers
In the event apprehended a glut Of
labor and raw material will ineyta-
bly, be a condition Of the American
market, and a condition rife with
woe for all save the few who enjoy
the special fostering care Of the
government So long as the bal.
ance Of trade Is In our favor inter.
est lies In the direction of unre.
strieted commerce. However the
prospect is that the government Is
going to force US into the Jaws Of

speedily wipe out the injustice and
oppression which for a time must
