Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-09-23

The desire to see ourselves as others
see US is sometimes gratifed in unex-
pected fashion. This, for example, Is
the view of Englishmen taken by an
Intelligent Chinaman, who recently
visited that country. They certainly
do not know how to amuse themselves
You never see them enjoy themselves
by sitting quietly upon their ances'
tors graves. They jump around and
kick balls as If they were paid to dc
It. Again, you will find them making
long tramps into the country; but that
is probably a religious duty, for when
they tramp they wave sticks in the
air, nobody knows why. They have nc
sense of dignity. for they may be found
walking with women. They even sill
down at the same table with women
and the women are served first" In
that the Chinaman has not only pic
tured his hosts as he saw them. He
has with equal fidelity and force pic
tured himself.

has been sore disappointment to me:
1t has beer hard to bear; it has not had

now. Now that you have accused me
Of murder, have no further interest IN

She looked so hopeless and SO dreary
that he was deeply panied. 1t struck
him, too, that she looked terribly Ill.
"Hildred," he said, gently, "be mer-

will surely pardon me-"
He tried to touch her hands, but she
drew them proudly away. She stood
before him erect and defiant.
II had my life given me to enjoy, as
others had" she said. Il had the pow
er Of loving, the longing for happiness,
as others had. What right had you
to crush them? What right had you,
because you wanted my money, to take
my girlish heart and break It? What
right had you to infiict all these years
of shame and sorrow upon me? What
have I ever done to you that you
should repay me after this fashion,"
Nothing" he replied. Il am gull

voice. Some words are running In my
mind, Hildred, about those who. hav-

Hildred?"

asked.

She was quite silent for few min

the hilltops before the light OF the
sun, all shadow passed from her face
and she answered him:

put out the bright eyes of a little bird
that it may sing more sweetly. Let
me pass; l have no more to say"
With shiny eyes and pale, passionate
face she swept from the room, leaving
the earl overcome with establishment.
"She is the most high minded wom-
an l have ever met in my life." he
thought. Il have been blind, indeed.
How superb she Looked in her indigna-
ton! will win her yet. l have
never cared about winning her before,
but l swear to give my life to the task

1t seemed probable that it would be
very long one, for Lady Caraven pos
itively refused to see her husband
again. In vain Arley Ransome plead
cd for him; she was memorable.
Even a worm will turn when it is
trodden," she said. Il have suffered
my last indignity at his hands"
The earl WAS compelled to return to
Ravensmere, and he did so almost de-
spairingly. Lady Hamilton was fast
improving; she would be able to go to
her own hcme soon. the doctor said,
and all anxiety about her was quite
at an end. The truth of the story had
come to light; all the papers had it;
every one knew that Lady Hamilton
had been shot by mistake and that it
was the young Countess of Caraven
whom John Blantyre had intended to
kill.
The earl confided the result Of his
mission to Sir Raoul, who was not
much surprised.
you have tried her beyond her
strength" he said; II should advise
you without loss Of time to return to
London again"
Lord Caraven did so, but his journey
was fruitless. Hildred refused to see
him; to all entreaties from her father
she answered simply:
81 have not one word to add to what
I have said" and with that answer the
earl was obliged to be content.
In sheer despair he sent for Sir
Raoul, who, though almost unfit to
travel, fastened to him; he besousht
him to use his influence with the beau
tiful young wife who had no pity
for him. Then he grew wildly jealous
at the idea that she would listen to
Sir Raoul when she refused absolutely
| to listen to him.

Showed Marked Decrease.
The bAreau OF statistics in its latest
summary of finance and commerce,
presents details Of the imports and ex-
ports in the fiscal year ending June 30,
1898. It shows that the exports to all
parts of the world increased both In
manufactures and products Of agricul-
ture, and that while there was great
falling of in imports, the reduction
was almost exclusively In manufac-
tured articles and food products. Man
ufactured articles ready for consump-
ton fell from $134,375, 126 in 1897 and
$145,274,O39 in 1895 to $S2.570.6S7 in
1898; articles Of food and live animals
fell from $245, 1875, 1877 in 1897 and $751;
O25, 045 in 1896 to $1S1, 480,011 In 1898.

1898. On the other hand, articles re-
quired by the manufacturers and classi-
fed as articles in a crude condition

the 1897 imports were $214,916,625 and
those Of 1896, s209 ,36S,717, amounting
in 1898 to $204,543,919, forming in 1898
over 33 per cent of the total importa-
lions, while in 1897 they were but 70
per cent, and in 1896, q per cent Of
the total imports, showing a large rel
alive increase in the proportion which
these articles used in the domestic in
dustries bore to the total importations.
Manufactured articles for use in the
mechanic arts formed in 1898 about
the same percentage Of the imports
that they did in 1896 and 1897. The
expectations Of manufactures, which
amounted to s2SS,S71, 449 in 1898, ex-
ceeded those of 1897 by s11,5S6,OSS,

GEORGE TAYLOR ARRESTED.
He Attacked a Prescott Man With d
 Base Ball Bat

Another Rough Rider victory took place Monday in Prescott. Captain George BrOughton of the Grand Army, and Trooper George Taylor (cOlored) Of the Rough Riders, became involved over a little matter of carrying Old Glory recently in parade in Prescott, says the JOurnal-Miner. Broughton and Taylor met according to agreement that morning and chose she old opera house as their Morro castle They sfugged each ether in good style, and as Taylor was onto field movements as executed in Cuba in better shape than BrCughton, ewing to the antiquated tactics that prevailed in the civil war. BrOughton was t1anksd on every move ment. Later in the day, Broughton got his wind back and pulled down the flag of truce, when Taylor emerged from behind the trenches, armed with base ball bat, which he used instead of a machete. He parried at the at mosphere fOr ,ime and finally richet- ted on Broughton's arm, causing the splinters to fly lively. Broughton yelled like Spaniard and surrendered. and Taylor went foaming down the stf 9et to hunt up other Rough Rid ITS and shake. Hc ran into Judge Camp bell who put a kink into his fighting inclinacionS by holding him before the grand jury in $2,5O0-more money than Taylor ever dreamed Of This judge evidently don't like Rough Riders, liks the average Arizona vCler, and his ac- tions do not seem to warrant the crime The moral Of the fight is, don't mon key with ,he Rough Rider He's had Irjun.
