OLD southern garden, there to assure
her that she was pardoned, and then
to tell her how she was loved. A charm
ing chateau en- Espagne was that which
the boy had builded; a sweet, sad, bliss
full, ecstatic parting was it all to be as
result of his skillful use of his .'sud-
den orders to Texas" but, like many
another well-laid plan, it went ludi-
crously aglee. She was there on the
veranda, romping with her kitten,
when he came and never made the
slightest reference to his departure.
He alluded gloomily to the fact that the
boat would be along in less than an
hour, and she cheerfully responded:
"Yes; All thought All huhd it's whistle
just a moment ago." and raced pussy
to the far end of the gallery. He tried
other announcements with no better
success, and was bewildered and de-
feated and stung by her apparent
heartlessness and Indifference when at
last he had to go, and went away mis-
erab]y jealous and wretchedly in love,
fairly beaten at his own game.
So gloomy and unlike himself was
Lambert that the two or three class
mates who happened to be at Austin
were much surprised, and so absorbed
was he in his own woes and pangs that
not until he reached Lampasas did he
learn that the soldierly-loohing man
who rode all the way fron the capital
with him was no less person than
the Brevet Lieut.. Col. Sweet of whom
he had heard so much at Tugaloo, and
who, promoted to the rank of major,
was now on his way to report for duty
at frontier post. The stage with the
colonel rumbled away on it's journey
for supper. Lambert went on out to
camp, only to find that Corporal Wal
ton with four men had gone as escort
to that very stage, as there were ru-
mors that the Comanches and Lipans
were on the warpath again. It might
be four days before they returned. 1t
would be two before a stage went back
to, Austin, and it was now nine o'clock

MATILDA ANN AND Me,

When the nights are getting longer,
And the ,frosts begin to fall,
While the early pippins ripen
BY the messy garden wall,
Then take my easy rocker.
In the kitchen after tea,
And we're happy as two lovers,
Just Matilda Ann and me.
While she washes out the dishes,
In her deft and dainty way,
IT'S a pleasure just to watch her.
And I haven't much to say,
As she sets them in the cupboard,
And we both of us agree
Not to light the parlor burner,
For Matilda Ann and me.
SO we put our feet together
Closer to the glowing hearth,
And declare there ne'er existed
Such home as ours on earth.
Then sometimes she let's me kiss her:
Shades are down and none can see,
Else I'm sure they'd stop to envy
My Matilda Ann and me:
-Lalia M. Mitchell, in HousekeeDer.

Exports outstrip Population.

Mr.. Michael Mulhall, in u paper in the
North American Review, asserts that in
the last twenty years the population Of
the United States has risen from 45,OO0,-
600 to 100000 souls-an increase Of So
per cent-and at the same time the value
of exports has risen 175 per cent-that is,
three times as fast as the population. The
same eminent authority declares that
1.-The quantities of food yearly exported
are sufficient to feed 30,OOO,OOO persons
in Europe, from which it appears that
American farms raise food for 100000
COO of people yearly" With u productive
capacity so vastly in excess of the de-
mands of the home market it is evident
that foreign markets must be opened for
our surplus if the country is to enjoy per-
manent prosperity. If the administration
can do this through the gates of recip-
rocity, all right; if not, the country will
find another way of breaking down the
barriers which choke the channels of dis

British Exports ON the Decrease.

The returns issued by the London
Board If Trade show that during the
month of October there was a decrease
of $7,00O,0O0 in the value Of British ex-
ports, and also a decrease of $3,OOO,OOO in
the value of imports. The decline was
chiefly in yarns and textiles. The decrease
in the exports of machinery was nearly
81, 200, owing to the strike Of the en-
gineers. The shipments of tin plates to
the United States continue to decrease,
and the wheat shipments from America
to increase. The total decrease in the
value of exports for ten months of 1897
is $3O,0O0,000, as compared with the COR
responding period last year.
The successful competition of the Unit
ed States, Germany, Belgium and other
blessed by protection has had far
more to do with the decrease in British
exports of machinery than has the strike
of the engineers. To the same cause is
due the decrease of $3O,00O,OO0 in the
general line of British exports in the first
ten months of 1897. OF all the nations of
Europe Great Britain is the only one left
that clings to free trade, and she is losing
her prestige in manufactures ut a ruin

What's the Matter with Gold2"

VeS0 &A0OU0E NDObO4
We have coined about $7OO,OOO.OOO Of
silver. We have now over $6O0,O00,00O
of gold. Silver will sell for the cost of
production at the mines, and it is being
mined now profitably in many mines. Free
coinage ut 16 to 1 would deprive us of our
gold currency and bring the country to a
silver basis, while all the nations we need
deal with pay us gold. The hard times
Just vanishing were not caused by any
legislation regarding currency, as other
people have claimed. The farmers bring
the money from abroad into this country;
we get pay for grains, meats, dairy pro-
ducts, etc., in gold. Some people advise
us to insist on getting our pay in silver.
What's the matter with gold? 1t goes:
1T is, all our foreign customers have to
pay us with. Nobody refuses it here. We
deal in gold values now, do business with
lit" Why interrupt coming prosperity
with divided counsels over u change to
silver values that would relegate gold to
the safety deposit vaults? Geld is an
American product, increasing every day
from Alaska to Tennessee. Gold, and pa
per representing it, are good the world
over. We have perhaps S7OO,OOO,0O0 Of
silver i'll circulation. 1t pays debts be-
cause rcdeemable in gold. Its certif-
Gates arc good and in national use. Our
g~reenbacks are good because redeemable
in gold. We have plenty of currency, all
good, all interchangeable. Why should
we inquire farther into currency? 1t il

Adopting a New Craze.

That the Democracy is substituting for
the free silver issue the single tax idea
and others such is shown by the action Of
National Committeeman Shanklin of In
diana, who, in the same day, addressed
Mr.. Bryan us the next President of the
United Suites and then stated that he
would support Henry George if he were,
in New York. AS is well known, George
was the original single tax prophet and,
in addition to this, attracted to his sup
port In New York all the socialists, dis
contentists and other lists. This brings
Bryan, free silver, single tax, socialism,
red flags and various other cardinal prin-
ciples into pretty close touch.

A Great Industry.

Secretary Wilson iS constantly on the
lookout for ways and means to benefit the
farmers Of the United States. The report
Of his department is of unusual impor-
lance this year, because 1t treats Of the
efforts to stimulate the production Of
sugar beets. Secretary Wilson Is m en-
thusiast on this subject. He predicts that
In ten years the United States will be an
exporter of sugar, instead of the largest
Importer in the world.
The capacity Of the United States for
the production Of beet sugar is practically
unlimited; and with the object of ascer-
tanning the most favorable localities for
its growth, Secretary Wilson distributed
seven tons OF imported sugar beet seeds
among 1900 farmers in twenty-seven
States, with the understanding that they
should furnish samples of their crop to
the department for the purpose of analy-
sis and n statement explaining the condi-
tons under which each sample was pro-
duced, and the method of culture.
The Secretary expresses himself as
deeply gratitied by the returns. The most
favorable results huve been obtained from
those sections of the United States where
new industries were demanded for the
farmer and where the manufacture Of
bcets into sugar can be accomplished with
the greatest economy us to labor and
transportation. The experiments in vest
ern Nebraska, Utah and California which
have been going on for some years have
demonstrated the p%racticability of beet
culture in those sections, but the samples
Of this years crop which have been for
warded to the department at Washington
aud the experiment stations elsewhere
show that the soil and climate of Ohio
and other Central States are even better
adapted for this sort of crop than those
of the far West. 1t is on the result Of
these tests that Secretary Wilson bases
his prediction that in ten years this
try will have sugar to sell.-Akron CO.,
Raacnn.
