ory of many of US when women We're
very scarce there. We gave it out that
we wanted them for school teachers and
the like and encouraged them to come
out there, but the truth was the men
wanted them for wives. / remember
cnce we sent young man to Massachu-

with orders to collect 100 young women
and to escort them back to Oregon We
guaranteed every one of them one

the matter was a fne-looking young
man, who afterward served two terms in

Some of these women are to-day the

More than three-fourths of the hum
dred were married inside of three
years, and many in less than one year.
A few of the lot, however, are teaching
school there to-day, not that they did
not have offers, but because they would
not accept any of the fellows who Of

succeeded by a gentlentn who married

proximity of danger, clung on to thd
trunk like grim death and hauled him
self up few feet. Mr.. Robin, su-
premely ignorant of the circumstance,
interested himself in a feather far
away under his wing; he worked hard
to find the feather, pulling it out at
last, and letting it float away out of his
beali.
Thomas clung on to the tree trunk,
all the claws of all his feet being requi-
sitioned for the exertion, and, starred
up at the nest, gathering strenlfh for a
rush. Mr.. Robin yawned and pretend.
ed to be deeply interested in the To-
liage of the poplar, which, of course,
formed no portion of his real diet,
though he picked at it now and nibbled
little, for effect. He did this in case
him, in order that Thomas might, in
that case, suppose that his own move
ments 6iad not been observed. The
bare trunk of the poplar was long
one, you see, and Mr.. Robin was anx-
ious that Thomas should not be alarmed
before he had reached an elevation
which would suit the plans he had laid
out AS matter of fact Thomas had
not seen him at all, up to new.
At length the assassin-the would-be
assassin-took long breath, blinked
twice or thrice, and sGambled about
20 feet higher up the tree. Then he
stopped to rest. Mr. Robin yawned
again, spat out the leaf he was pretend
ing to eat, chucked concealment to-
the winds and his own round body into
the air, and Topped down upon the
branch nearest to Thomas head to
the unutterable disgust of that dishon-
est individual, who thus found himself
suddenly in an extremely awkward po-
sition between the devil and the deep
.sea--Mr.- Robin representing the devil,
whom he rather resembled just now,
and the drop of nearly 80 feet the deep
sea.
Thomas looked upwards and per-
eeived climb of Is feet, at least, to
the nearest bough; he looked down
wards-and it made him quite giddy,
so high had he climbed. Also his paws
and muscles generally were strained
and weary, and the devil, in the shape
of Mr.. Robin, sat and yaWned and
watched him, as though with indif-
ference, though with a very nasty look

THE DINGLEY TARIFF.
Resembles the Injurious Measure
of 1900.

Resembles the Injurious Measure
of 1890.
What information has thus far been
secured respecting the tariff bill to be
reported by the members of the ways
and means committee indicates that the
new bill from Mr.. Dingley's hands will
be Of somewhat the same pronounced
protectionist order as the original Nc
Kinley bill of 1890. Certain articles
which were not free" in the former
measure have been placed upon the free
list. And some other articles are taxed
more in accordance with the schedules
CT the Wilson law. But the tariff on
several leading products, among them
wool, has been raised to the limit.
From the outset of the campaign last
year Mr.. McKinley's champions de-
naanded that the revenues of the coun-
try be increased through a new tariff
bill; it is being declared that this is the
chief need; that to do away with the
annual deficit in the governments cof-
fers was to restore prosperity. 1t is
upon this policy that Mr.. Dingley att
tackled the tariff question, and the re-
suit of his efforts is a measure propos-
ing to raise certain schedules to point
where they will be not only protective"
of American products, but are likely to
prohibit imports. The wool schedule
of 1890 is practically restored, though
in effect its restoration upon wool i'm
portation will be greater now than it
was then.
The notable thing is that Mr.. Dingley
and his associates, having been invited
to prepare tariff for revenue and mod
crate protection, have turned out bill
which may possibly meet the test of
practice just as did Mr.. McKinley's cele.
brated measure. Under the Mckinley
law the revenues positively decreased;
under the Wilson law, while inadequate,
owing TO the the miscaIculation respect
ing the income tax, they have shown
tendency to rise. Mr.. Ding1ey's bill
seems to be reversion to the principle
which injured the country in 1890, and
which was explicitly and emphatically
repudiated at the polls.-Chicsgo Rec
ord qnd.).
