he has been very courteous. H0llanders

the middle finger three times. The
natives of the Philippine Islands take

SHE FELT BETTER.
A Young Doctor gives HE Best Girl a
"EabIet."


"TabIet."
A young Lawrence, Kan, doctor
took his best girl TO the opera not long
since. The curtain was late in rising,
and the young lady complained OF feel
ing faint. The doctor smiled sweetly up
on her, took something out of his vest
pocket and whispered to her to keep
''the tablet" in her mouth but not to
swallow it. She shyly placed it on her
tongue and rolled it over and over, but
it would not dissolve; she felt better,
however. So when the show was over
she slipped the tablet into her glove,
being curious to examine, at home,
this tasteless, indissoluble little sub
stance which had given her such re-
lief in the opera house. When alone
in her room she pulled off her glove
and out came a-pants button.

careful, painstaking and accomplished
newspaper man. He has spent some
time among the New England mills in
vestigating thor ughly the conditions
and outlook. Mr.. Edmonds of the Man
ufacturers' Record, is known among
manufacturers everywhere as a close stu
dent of economic conditions in the coun-
try at large, but especially in the south
ern sta ,es. Mr.. Grantl nd is vice presi-
dent of the Griffin mills, Griffin, Ca,
one OF the largest and finest Of the new
mills of the south. He is known all over
Georgia as gentleman of intelligence,
integrity and capacity"
THE SOUTH DOES DIVERSITY.
Judge Griggs then went on to quote
from the opinions of these gentlemen,
making most ample use OF Mr.. Moran's
New England letters, introducing his in
teryiew with Mrs. Pickering, in which
the filming system was fully exposed.
"Mr. Dingley," said Judge Griggs,
''says that the uthorn farmer should
diversity tell him that his reform
should begin at h me and under his own
hat, that the New England manufacturer
should diversity. The Great Creator, in
His wisdom, gave to the south sunshine
| and seasons, soil and labor adapted to
the growing of cotton. Our people have
but taken advantage of these God-given
forces tc make the great crops which go
to clothe the world. Can our New Eng
land friends say as much for the cotton
manufacturers of Massachusetts, and
Maine? You must learn the lesson of
diversitication of labor, my friends. You
must not forget that one-idead cotton
manufacturers are no better thin one
idead cotton gro overs; that 90 many cot
ton mills stand as immova bly, in the path
of New England progress as do TOO many
bales of cotton in the path of southern
progress"
Judge Griggs went on, in general, to
assert the ability of the south t. compete
in every laudable enterprise witch any
other section; TO show that there were
many things IN her favor, and that wages
were, all things considered, fully up to
what they were elsewhere, and that the
south owed her advantages to provi-
dence, which had favored that section
magnificently.
THE SUBJECT OF DIET
On the different methods # living
north and south, Judge Griggs created
much amusement when he said:
"Why, Mr.. Speaker, the average south
erner would not feed his worst enemy on
the cold bread and beans which are the
staple food of the New England working
man.
"a distinguished southerner has said
that Mason and Dixon's' line is line of
honor dividing the line of cold bread

Dingleyism'' the Philadelphia Times
indulges in some characteristic free
trade argument In the face of an enor-
NOUS extension of our foreign trade Ill
the past ten months and of merchan-
disc balance of 5000, 900, 900 for the
current fiscal year and in the full
knowledge of the exceptionally sound
and healthy condition in which the
country finds itself at the beginning of

can see nothing but q condemnation OF
the economic policy that has made pos
sible the unprecedented trade balance
and the exceptional financial position
of the United States.

If to have unlimited domestic resources

| such result as that implied by The
! Times in the statement that ''now that
we are at war we can realize also tht
| value of a policy that makes friends fol
| Us instead of enemies among other ma
tions and any one can understand tina
a policy Of exclusion is more likely Il
create enemies than friends -
There is nothing TO show that in tn
pending war with Spain the American
policy Of defending home labor and III

one nation of all others the most unfa
vorably affected by the closing of on
