This is the Sort of Rubbish We Are Hav.
ing Thrown at Us.

ing thrown at US.
Divide the field. What do you want
to attack us for? Keep still and divide
the field"
This is the sort of rubbish we are
having thrown at us. The manufacture
ers of preparations for the teeth want
now to compromise. They want to
know why we attack them. Very WELL
Mr. Manufacturer. Our reason is SIM
pie enough. You have been selling alb
solutely the most worthless stuff we
know of in any line of the drug trade
and we propose now and hereafter to
tell all about it. If you are hurt it is
your own fault. You can try to flood us
with excessive advertising all you
please but that does not answer our
arguments. The fact is, Pearlodento
is so much superior to your worthless
liquid or paste or powder that you are
feeling the sting of competition
Moreover, let us say further that you
cannot buy reputable dental surgeons.
They are not going to give a positive
endorsement to your cheap stuff. The
most you can get them to say is that
possibly your own particular mixture
will do no harm, and they probably will
say also that 1t will do no good. If you
are putting out cuttlefsh and pumice
stone or other gritty substances they
will tell to your face what harm you
are doing.
Pearlo-dento is simply not in your
class Mr.. Manufacturer. The public is
finding this out Divide? Yes, we are
dividing, thanks to your worthless stuff.

The Senate bill providing thst goods
brought 10 this country in foreign bot
toms shall pay 10 per cent. duties more
! than II brought in American ships IL in
line with the principle of protection as
an encouragement to American mer-
l chant marine Interests. In the early oays
| OF our government such discriminating
duty was the direct and important factor
in building up American. There is no
reason to be derived from history and
precedent TO indicate that a similar graft
tying result would not follow the adop-
tion OF the proposition OF the present SEN
ate bill.
Under our shipping laws American sea-
men receive higner wages than any sea-
men in the world. Likely enough h as has
been stated, the cost Of operating Ameri-
can ships, based simply on the question
OF wages, is nearly double that of other
nations. 1t is manifest then that AmerI-
can shipping can be fostered in only two
ways-viz.. by bounties and SUBSIDIES or
by discriminating duties. The American
people ara not in any temper to take up
an elaborate system of subsidies, but
they have declared themselves IN favor
of protection upon innd snd sea.
The discriminating duty pl1n simply
means that goods brought here ia Ameri.
can bottoms shall pay the rates OF duty
laid down by lsw,and that goods brought
here in foreign bottoms shall pay an sd-
ditional duty. The difficulty TO American
shipping is not in securing cargo going
abroad, but rather in securing a cargo re.
turning to this country. homewara
cargo aided by discriminating duty
would unquestionsblv make great de-
mnnd for American saijs, and it Is be-
lieved that every shipysrd from Maine
to the Gulf and on the Pacific northwerd
from San Francisco to Puget Sound
would be busy with orders. This opinion
is based on the known results OF a like
policy in effect during the first decade
of this century.

WILLIE AND TAD LINCOLN.
The Two Sons Of the Great President and
Their Natures.

AhS wv SphS VI tie
Their Natures.
Julia Taft Bayne contributes an article
to St Nicholas on willie and Tad Lin
cc,n, F" who were playmates of her brother
during the time that they lived in the
Write House. Mrs. Bayne says: Willie
Lincoln was the most lovable boy / ever
knew-sensiblc, sweet tempered and gen.
tie hammered. He was rather fair, with
blue gray eyes, while Tad had quick, dark
eyes and fiery temper. Though very af-
fectionate when he chose, Tad was un-
yielding in mis- dislikes. His peculiar de-
feet of speech made it difficult for stran-
gers to understand him, but those who
saw him every day had no difficulty.
The two Lincoln boys were then little
over 10 and \ years of age, my two broth
ers being year or two older. The elder,
Horatio, or Budd, MS he was always call
ed, was fair, like Willie Lincoln, while
Hally was dark. This resemblance of the
two pairs of boys was often remarked
upon.
Willie and Tad were two healthy, roll
licking western boys, who had never been
accustomed 90 restraint. The notice which
their fathers exalted station brought upon
them was at times distastcful. Willie once
said: "Wasn't { there ever president who
had children before? wish they wouldn't
stare at us so.
The first time they went TO church with
us Willie said: "Will he pray for us, do
you think? Preachers always pray so long
for pa. DIR. Smith did pray for them, IA
he recognized them in our pew Willie's
checks grew very red, but Tad was sitting
on the floor OF the pew and needed not. He
was so uneasy that he always sat on the
floor good part OF the service, drawing
pictures and amusing himself with what
ever he could find in his pockets.
On another Sunday, when he was un-
usually restless, - young officer friend of
ours gave him knife, which he thought
Tad would not open, but he did and cut
his finger, ard i had to do 10 up in my
best embroidered handkerchief
On this occasion was goaded to say:

In geographical way DIR. Nansen's ex-
ploriiions were particularly notable in
that they made sure that there is no
| North Polar continent and in oil proba-
bility no land at all about tho Pol, and
no solid mass Of ice. The various 81 nds'
that have been discovered and named
from time to time by Arctic expeditions
la circle about the Polo are nothing
but islands and inconsidera bls islands
at that, and DIR. Nanseu declares that The
sea in the immediate vicinity OF the Pole
on the side whose borders he cruised is
not shallow water frozen solid from bot
tom to surface but Ia very deep water
comparatively warm, and on its surface
foats eyerlastingIy a thin sheet OF ice
always drifting, always in motion forward
or back. The Pole Itself Is probably sub
merged In this sea instead OF in any way
being on top of it on a oft of land after a
fashion the popular fancy, and indeed a
great many famous explorers, have con-
fidently pictured. So much we know
today OF the North Pole and except for
the possibility that we may not DO really
correct In what We know, from the In.
f,rences drawn from the results OF Nan
sens voyage there would be no real need
nj m fnr har ~ t~
the Pole at least from the other side al
though 1T is yet to be determined where
Greenland and its possible outlying
islands end and perhaps their borders
may be reached by drifting across the
Pole from the other side more ealily than
by pushing up along the Greenland coast,
or going overland, from this side.
The Antarctic, however, m ties to ex.
plorstion as sttractiveiy as ever. Little
is known about it. The theories ba,ei
upon the voyage OF the Challenger twenty
years ago are that the South Pole is solidly
imbedded in ice-coveroi land, and that
there Is no open Polar sea at that end OF
the earth. But whether this land is a
true continent or only a volcanic product
nobody even ventures to guess. And
since Nansen came back from the North
and gave en- outline of the result OF
his discoveries, the gsogrsphers have re-
turned with rather more e'gernsss to tho
South than to the North Pole as the one
part OF oil this esrth OF which they know
very nearly nothing.
