: TO PRESERVE AND RETURN
UNSOLICITED MANUSCRIPT


Now and then innocent persons wan
dered in. Such was the pleasant old
gentleman whose gray beard was smartly
parted IL the center who looked botn
was evidently strange to him. for ne
looked about inQuiringly. He did not IN
ders.e-nd the institution of The Boy and
picked out worldly looking reporter out
OF job who sat on table waiting TO be
turned down once more.
How is one 10 go about writing for
the newspapers? he asked, pleasantly.
Find a subject they want something
about and send your stuff in, replied the
unemployed reporter.
And only write on one side of the
paper?' suggested the old gentleman,
knowingly.
Yep.
Il am a very powerful writer confided
the visitor when | was IA years old

my school for English letter writing.
Nineteen years ago a piece l wrote was

No. I'm a reporter
We'll, well, perhaps a man of my liter
airy ability should write for the maya
zines. How much would they pay for a
powerful work of fiction of about five
pages, say?'
Perhaps from $50 to s1OO"
The visitor glowed. Thank YOU sir for
the information. | am getting my bust
ness affairs settled up so that | can re-
tire and then l intend to devote myself
" DellS an author, winch IS more con-
genial. Good-day, sir
The old gentleman, happy effulgent
ran along. Nobody smiled. When. a while
after, The Boy came out. all started up.
whether angIV-browed reporters, out of
work, pale women with biue-veined deli
cate hands who would exc out a living by
writing, young girls in pink waists and
linen skirts, young wives anxious to help
along new households with their pens
wan men with a shadow of former sue
cess in their bearing, bustling young men
on hand for fame and fortune, unshaven
men with ideas. with Inventions with
wrongs, with manuscripts, with sensa-
tons
The editor is too busy TO see you to-
dayr'
Then the members of the staff passed
in. A member of the staff is always and
sharply distinguishable. for he slams the
door humanely and walks quickly and
glances curiously at the gray figures in
the anteroom. always that curious look
from which the figures shrink.
In that lfacs of shrinking figures The
imDish warden of some pale hell of dis
appointments and blasted hopes When
the doors of the editorial offices opened
for the passing members of the staff the
transitory flash of light cleaned as
from an inner elysium, and -listened on
the hungry teeth of expectancy and de-
spair
when you get too old for this job what
will you do?'
The Boys face was Illuminated with
the sweet hope of determined ambition
as he replied:
I'm going in for special writing!'

Another Low Record.

New York, July 24.-Bar silver today
made another low record price of 1914
while Mexican dollars remained sta
tionary at 4634 The steady decline IN
silver is due. to the attitude OF India
and China. The weakness of silver in
the Indian bazaars does not keep pace
with the decline in London, and the
white metal is continually drawn into
India, which is a cause of concern to
the people of England, who realize the
difficulty that it places in the way of
reopening of the minis. China refuses
to take silver and exchange at Shang-
hal is 2 per cent below the silver i'm
port point.

Star: One of the most important of
fetal positions in New York can only be
filed by boys. and as soon as the boys
begin 10 broaden out and acquire fuzzy
upper lips, their usefulness is ended.
There are several reasons for this. The
natural cunning of the small boy. which
he loses with dawning manhood, is es-
sential. together with his peculiar ability
for telling fsbs. Great care is exercised
ia having the boys old enough to under
stand their duties and still young enough
to retain these peculiar abilities Another
reason is that grown men would be licked

BILE to levy n specific duty on all car
pet woods without any distinction,
as ad valorem led to oundervaluation.
The senator discussed the effect of the
Mckinley wool rates, saying that
they did not accomplish all that had
been expected, and they did not offset
the heavy decline caused by business.
Mills of Texas said it was incom-
prehensible to him why the wool
men demanded high duties in the
face of the experience that the price
of wool could not be raised by a
tariff any more than the price of cot
ton could be increased by a duty.
The price of wool had been falling
constantly for 40 years in spite of the
tariff rates.
He quoted statistics, showing
wool had fallen after the imposition
of the Mckinley rates and had risen
after the Wilson provisions for free
wool. This was proofincontestable
he declared, that the tariff duties
could not affect the price of wool.
At one point of Mills remarks,
Mantle interjected the remark: Gen
orally speaking, senator, you will
not question that the imposition ol
duty has raised prices to the WOO
grower"
| 81 have never been able to dis
cover it," answered Mills.
Mantle asserted that this genera
benefit to the woOlgrower was in
cOntestable, certainly as to Montana
growers, and he believed it was 9,
generally.
Mills maintained that he wa
speaking from tables of prices, whicl
constituted a record not to be i'm
peached, under the rules of evidence
by general opinions.
Carter of Montana said that 1t wa
a fact beyond dispute that during
the last year the wool growers q
Montana were receiving cents pc
pound, while under the McKinle.
law they were receiving IA cents.
"And the difference between cent
and IA cents is the difference betwee
destruction and prosperity" declare
Carter.
When Mills quoted certain 10,
rates on Montana wool under til
Mckinley law, Carter responded tina

Some time during
the forenoon Mrs. Witt left the house
to assist a boy to drive a band of
sheep from the yard, but complained
of a severe pain in her head and
started to return indoors. The boy
went on with the sheep and the last
he saw of Mrs Witt she was about
to enter the house. Returning about
two hours later he could not find
her and looking around the premises,
Mrs. Wits dead body was found
lying under a large tree about 100
yards from the house. After the
boy left her 1t is supposed that the
pain in her head became worse and
that she either became delirious and
wandered into the open air or
started for assistance to a neighbor's
house. Mr.. Witt was absent from
home at the time and no one was
about the house.
Mrs. Witt was 80 years of age and

A VICTORY FOR WOOL.
SENATOR AND CARTER nANTLE MAKE A
STRONG FIGHT AND WIN OUT.
Cool Rates on second and Third Class
Woods.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-After aeon
test lasting throughout the day the
senate completed the paragraphs OF
the wool schedule relating to raw
wool and ad -anced into the feat ures
relating to the manufactured woolen
goods. The day was devoted largely
to the discussion of the effect of tar
iff rates on the price OF wool, and
speeches were on technical lines i'm
the main. At one point Hoar di-
verted the discussion by reference to
W. j. Bryan's opposition to the tar
if. This brought Mantle. Allen and
Stewart to the defense of Bryan.
Teller was drawn into the contro-
versy and in n few remarks warned
his former Republican associates
that their hopes of prosperity from
this bill would be blasted.
Quay made a strong effort to have
the house ad valorem rates on third
class wool adopted, but he was de.
feated-l9 to Al.
The committee rates were then
agreed to, viz: -Four cents pei
pound on third class wool, valued
at 10 cents OF less per pound, and
cents per pound on third class wool
valued above 10 cents per pound.
The schedule was completed to
paragraph 1854, relating to cloths
knit fabrics, etc.
Early in the day, Allen, rising to &
question of personal privilege, mad'
a sweeping denial OF the publi'
charges that william j. Bryan hat
contributed 81 500 to the Populis
cause in order to effect fusion.
Vest pointed out conflicts betweel
the views of Lawrence and Justice
two wool experts, and said that
these recognized authorities were 81
far apart, how could layman be ex
pected to get at the truth?
Mantle criticised some of the state
ments of Justice, particularly tha
to the effect that no more than on
lper cent of the wool grown in thi
country was carpet wool.
Mantle asserted that one-eighth {

was classed as coarse carpet woo

GRASS RANGE, June 2lst, 1Ss

GRASS RANGE, June 21st, 1897.
EDITOR ARGUS: l write you i'm re-
gard to a scheme which If worked
would, / think, be of mutual benefit
to you and especially to wool grow
ers who take your paper. Whereas,
there are many growers who ship
wool to about as many different
commission houses in n. Y. and Bos-
ton, and seldom do we find a case
where two shippers have received an
equal amount for the same class OF
wool. We know that some of these
commission houses are managed
solely i'm the interests of the house
and not in the interests of the
grower.
We hear many complaints, one in
particular. Now if one party ships
wool to a certain house and receives
6 cents for the same and ship my
wool to another house and receive
fraction above 81 cents, as / did do
with my 1896 wool, would be glad
to have my friends know of the fact.
My wool was shipped to the New
York Wool Warehouse Co. and /
received $50 net for the same. IL
everyone who ships wool and who
dies not get satisfactory returns for
the same would make such facts
known through your paper, COM
mission houses in the east who do
not do the square thing would get
less wool in the future, our growers
would get more money and there
would be far less kicking by growers.
