know anything about it. And besides
that the dry drouth had played ruina.
tion with the crops and the committee
on appropriations was for retrench-
ment and reform.
But I then went on to tell her if it
was clothes she wanted she ought to go
on over the creek and stop by at the
Redman place. Miss Bithy Redman is
the most fxyest old maid in the set.
tlement. Two or three times she has
thought she would get married, but
that was all Somehow her weddin
cake never would cook right done, and
it is all dough till yet. Yetin the main
time she has got the clothes to put
on-silks and satins, and muslins and
poker dots, and ribbons and laces till
you can't rest for the finery-clothes
enough to make her weddin garments
and keep her Sunday appearments for
90 years to come.
So the old fortune teller woman
didn't do blame thing but amble
on down the road and across the creek
to the Redman place. From one of the
boys that night found out that she
had told Miss Bithy's fortune and got
a full change of clothes.
Gimme your alapaca dress (good as
new) and will tell you whether any
man person throws his shadow across
your future path" says the fortune
teller woman.
The naked thoughts of a man per-
son put Miss Bithy into high futter
and she come forth with the alapaca
dress.
81 see the shadow of man person
across your path" says the fortune
teller woman. "Gimme your Sunday
shoes and let me tell you whether he
will ever come and pop the question"
The dim vision of such a thing as
weddin match-with her own fixy self
as the blushin bride-was blessed
plenty for Miss Bithy. And it fetched
them Sunday shoes.
81 see him comm down the path
says the fortune teller woman''a
spare made, dark-complected man, and
he limps little with his left foot"
That was good description of
Squire Noogin-which the squire'swife
died last year and they tell me Miss
Bithy has had her line out and the
hook well baited to catch him. I have
noearthly doubts butwhat the lonely old
thing was all but ready then to go off
in dead faint.
He will pop the question" the for
tune teller woman went on. Now
gimme your new Sunday hat and let
me tell you when you two will be one"
And that didn't fail to fetch the hat.
Then the fortune teller woman told
Miss Bithy that she would git married
and mate off with the dark-complected
man in the year 1899. II she had but
only thought about it in time and fixed
the weddin day along in the comm fall,
I'll bet by gracious she could of got
every blame female garment on the
Redman place. AS it was the fortune
teller woman come prancin by our
home the next mornin with Miss Bithy's
Sundayest clothes on, and the laces and
the ribbons fyin in the air.
And as for Miss Bithy--we1l, she is
still single, but still silly and still hope
full.

descent The descendants of the Ross

domiciled in the Cherokee nation and
still are leaders of the tribes. They are
all well educated, and am not afraid
to say that the Mcintosh girls are the
most beautiful specimens of womanr

some. Moore's Lalla Rookh was not to

more, they live in peace with the outside

men, good citizens and well educated.
My wife, when girl, used to visit their

he has all their good qualities, except
their religion. am only a half-breed

ago the Evening Star, of this city,

no small amount of interest, says the
Washington correspondent of the Mill
itary Gazette. His letter is as follows:
It is possible that Prof. Andree may
have reached the north pole or its vi-
einity. Telegraphic reports, as far as
have seen, state that he started with
south wind of % miles an hour. The
chances of such a, wind blowing 600
miles etxaight to the north pole are,
however, very small, as it would be an
extraordinary meteorological phenom-
enon such as has never accompanied
any storm. My opinion on Andree's
projected expedition and his probable
return were expressed at the sixth in
ternational geographical congress in
July, 1895, in London, where I debated
the subject publicly with Prof. Andree
and also discussed the chances with
him privately. He admitted the ex-
treme hazard of the project, which ]
strongly outlined.

Point Barrow, Alaska, showed that the

Then shall expect to land somewhere

pressed again his determination to go,
and his confidence of returning safely.
Prof. Ekholm, who accompanied An

THE CURRENCY COMMISSION
The Presidents Policy Is Carefully
Expedients

The most noticeable feature Of the
mission was the utter absence Of any
higher tone in it all than the mere
question of party expediency. That the
administration owes it's power to last
falls pledgesof currency reform seemed
to be consideration entirely elimi-
mated from discussion. Perhaps this is
not to be wondered at so much; little
Is to be expected in the way of attach
ment to pledges from an administration
which has spent twelfth of it's lease
of life in arranging to repay campaign
contributors through the tariff, to the
exclusion of all other subjects Of dis
cussion. With such an administration,
cite surprise that so poor aud pitiful a
sop to decency as the currency commits
sion scheme should, after it had been
prepared and publicly announced as
about to be transmitted to congress, be
withheld, while the republican politi-
cians wrangled over the question of its
expediency.
Hanna, it appears, favored the trans
mission of the message. Not that Ham
ma had any idea that congress would
do anything on the subject If it was
sent in, for Hanna knew full well
how completely at odds the repub-
licans In congress were, underneath
their surface semblance Of harmony,
and how hard it had been to
hold congress together long enough to
Btraighten out the conflict of selfish in;
terests over the tariff. But Hanna rea-
soned that the contest in Ohio, in which
he had so vital concern and upon the
result Of which will depend his re-
election or the loss of his seat in the
senate, is to hinge in great degree upon
the financial question. An indication
by the administration that it favors
legislation which will prevent future
drains upon the gold reserve might
thus strengthen the republican cause.
Hanna was well aware that no action
would be taken by the senate upon the
presidents recommendations, If made,
but he believed, apparently, that the
mere making of such recommendations
would be accepted as proof of the sin
cerity of the administration, and, by
giving press and people something else
to talk about, steer them away from the
dangerous ground of the Dingley tariff.
The eastern republicans in congress,
as rule, took the other side of the ar
gument They feared that the financial
issue might again be. thrust into prom
inence at time when their business
constituentswere demanding rest from
discussion and opportunity to adjust
themselves to the new conditions of the
Dingley bill. They asserted that they
were deluged with letters from mer-
chants, manufacturers and bankers
urging the unwisdom of renewal Of
the controversy over the financial ques-
tion until the exigencies OF political
campaign should demand it.
So the president, simply q careful
gentleman, much too amiable and too
impressionable to be safely intrusted
with the great executive Office" bal
anced the pros and cons Of currency
reform on the pole of expedieney and
hesitated. How happy might he be
with either, were t'other dear charmer
away! Albany IN. " Argus.

HIGHER PRICES.
Truth About the Operation of the New
Tariff.

Truth About the Operation OF the New
Tariff.
A pound of fact is worth q ton of
theory in estimating the effects Nf the
new tariff law. The World is giving the
facts as to the advance in prices sRhich
some days ago it said would be the one
certain result of the Dingley BILL
The grocers have already advanced
the price of sugar six-tenths of cent
q pound, merely as a preliminary in
crease The consumers of the country
will pay to the treasury at least $25 ,ooo,-
600 and probably $40, 100000 more for
their sugar under the new law than
they did under the one which it dis
placed. The exactions of the sugar
trust will add millions more to the cost
as pure robbery.
The testimony Of merchants shows
that there has already been an advance
of from ten to twenty five percent on
all woolen goods" twill cost more to
keep warm next winter. Hides have
advanced by reason of the new tax, and
an increase in the cost of boots and
shoes, from 80 to SO cents pair, is ex-
pected. An advance of prices all along
the line lis inevitable. AS an offset to
this one of the merchants asks: but
isn't the consumer better off If he gets
more money r.
There is much virtue in an il. VIII
the consumer get more money? This
also will be a question of TACT rather
than of theory. The consumers will
knowthe politicians and the protected
class need make no mistake about that!
They knew in 1890 and 1892. 1T was
the shopping women who did it, said
Speaker Reed, In explaining the repub-
lcan overthrow In those years In GER
tain lines of production ii Is not ur-
likely that wages will advance some
what as the result of reviving industry.
But there is small probability that the
Increase IN wages will equal the In
crease in the cost of living. For the
large class of salaried persons there is
even less prospect Of compensating
advance In pay.
AS the proof of a pudding is in the
eating, so the proof of a law is in it's
working. The World intends to present
an accurate and impartial record of the
operation Of the new tariff. IN. =.
