Going back to his own room, he re-
sumed his reverie "Well, he thought,

Cowardly, folks would call it, I sup
pose, to run away with charge like

is. If I stay, the old man will surely
make a row in the morning and there

be too proud to make the scandal for

and that will be the end Of it. Poor

with nasty sort Of laugh, under his
breath. "That's rather small sum to
turn thief for, but I wish I had a
hundredth part of it just to get grub

from mother easily enough, but I'd
rather go hungry than take it from her,
thinking what she does.
"But it's best for me to go. I would

Probably I never will know now, SO

And opening his window carefully
and noiselessly he swung himself out on

only five miles to town, and he was
there long before daybreak.

Poor Indeed,

There are degrees and kinds Of pow
erty, just as there are differences OF
opinion among those who compute and
measure poverty and riches by differ
emit standards. Some men deem them
selves poor because they are less rich
than Others, again there are compare
tive poor people who are satisfied with
a competence. There is kind of pow
erty for which no amount Of wealth
can compensate namely, poverty of
bodily stamina, evinced by nervous
ness and arrangement of the func-
tions of digestion, bilious secretion
and the bowels. To restore vigor upon
a permanent basis there is one ieme-
dy that fully covers the requirements,

damages for scare to horses occa-

REPUBLICANS FOR FREE TRADE.
They are Leather Men. and Say the
People VIII Benefit.

WASHINGTON, April ia dele
cation of manufacturers, mostly Re-
publicans, from Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, New York, Boston and Chica-
go, pleading for free trade in hides
with members OF the Senate finance
committee, was the curious specta-
Gle witnessed in a parlor of the Ar
lington hotel this afternoon. The
spokesman of the delegation told
the Standardization, Aldrich,
Platt, of Connecticut, and Wolcott--
what a boon to the leather industry
of the country and to the people at
large free trade in hides had proved
for years past and what destruction
to leather export trade and distress
to the people through dearer shoes
would follow the imposition of du-
ty on hides.
They also told the senators that the
duty ON hides which the northwest
was demanding would not injure to
the benefit of the farmers and cattle
raisers, but solely to the benefit of
the great meat packers who bought
cattle by the thousands Of head
hides and all, and then slaughtered
them. The cattle raisers would not
get any better prices for their stock
if duty were placed on hides. The
increase in price on the leather
would all go into the pockets of the
great meat packers. This increase
in price would destroy the present
leather export trade of $20,000,000
a year, and at the same time make
Americans pay more for their foot
gear.
The senators did not say that they
had finally determined to put duty
ON hides, but they left the impress
sion on the minds of the leather
men that it was their intention to
do so,and about the only satisfaction
the leather men got was an intima-
ton that if tax was put on hides
it would be placed only on the hides
of meat cattle, and not on the skins
of goats and other animals.
The leather men realize now that
the prospect is that the Republi-
cans of the finance committee will
report duty on hides, and they are
preparing to fight it on the floor Of
the senate and in the conference
committee. They are calling upon
their senators individually, and are
doing all that they can to keep hides
on the free list.
