As an instance of the manner in
which the Dingley tariff law has pro-
tected the home markets from foreign
competition, in the six months ending
June 80, the British shipments Of hard
ware and cutlery to the United States
fell to $l99, PAS as against $546,475, for
the corresponding period of 1897. Mean
while the American manufacturers have
not only turned out an increased amount
of these goods to supply the markets
with the ~shrinkage in imports, but have
largely increased the exports to foreign
lands.

HE HAD LOTS OF SAND
WAS DESPERATELY ANXIOUS TO
FIGHT THE SPANlARDS.

At Least That Is Wha He Told the Re-
cruiting officer, but Changed His Mind
Somewhat When He Found the
Army Had Room For Him.
He looked very determined when he
entered the recruiting office and walked
up to the officer in charge.
"The boys down our way" he said,
told me I was afraid to enlist. They've
Just been daring me eve since this war
broke out, SO something had to be
DONE"
"And that's why you're here?" sug-
gested the recruiting officer in a tone Of
inquiry.

swered the stranger. "There can't any
body take a whack at my patriotism
and my courage and get away with the
bluff. I'm here to git in line to do up
the Spanish, and l don't want any one
to forget it,"
The officer picked up a pen and pre-
pared to write.
IF you're sure you want to enlist"
he said, "why"-
"Surer' broke in the stranger.
"Sure! Well you just bet I'll prove
those fellows liars or know the eason
why. l don't think much of war as a
general proposition, but there can't any
body stand around and dare MI more'n
six Or eight times before something hap
pens. Mebbe l might have stood what
the boys had to say, but when my wife
told me Twas afraid to fight it was just
a leetle too much. All I'm afraid of is
that you won't have me-"
ooh, we'll take you fast enough"
returned the recruiting officer. "Just
give me your name and''-
"MebbeI ought to tell you before you
go too far" interrupted the valiant
youth again, ''that I am troubled with
hammer toes-two of 'em, one on each
foot"
"That doesn't make any difference, "
replied the recruiting officer.
"Why-why, I thought hammer toes
interfered with a mans ability to
march," suggested the applicant.

officer, shut we'll put you in the cav

The applicant gave a deep sigh and
suggested that that would suit him first
rate, but that he couldn't ride very well.
"Never mind" answered the recruit
ing officer. "You can soon learn. Now,
if you will just give me your name I'll
put it down and send you to the doctors
for''-
"That reminds me-" broke in the
man who wanted to enlist, "that I have
been a cigarette smoker for the last ten
years."
"No matter. We're not SO particular
now a we were. JUST
II have a weak heart, too, and I'm
rather short winded."
"Oh, that's all right. If you're will

give me your name and it will be all
right"
The youth gave another long sigh be-

said. "Mebbe my wife spoke in haste

Words that wedge a friendship apart
are often put in edgeways.
Jealousy is loves tonic, but no tonic

When a man borrows trouble, he asks
all his friends to 60 on his note.

another rough place in its party history.
The failure of its last attempt to run the

The Winona Republican says that
the grain and elevator men of the State
have been issuing form of grain
checks to the farmers which they have
been congratulating themselves was
so drawn as to evade the requirement
of the law for two-cent documentary
stamp. Deputy Collector Vars took
the matter up with Commissioner
Scott, and is in receipt of letter from
the department advising the grain men
to figure UP the amounts that they have
become indebted to the government
for stamps since July l, and send in
the cash promptly if they wish to avoid
criminal proceedings. The check on
which it is now decided that the war
tax must be paid, merely states the
amount of grain bought, and the price,
and on it's face does not imply the
payment of money.

A large crowd attended the reception

A large crowd attended the reception
to Rev. George q. Way Of the Metho-

Wednesday evening. Short addresses

The rain and snow of last week
caused many of the residents of the
city to score the street crossings So
verely. In several places the crossings
are completely worn out. and in order
to get over them person was obliged
to wade through mud from one to four
or five inches deep. The council COM
mittee on streets claims that the fault
lies with the party who agreed to fur
nish the city with stone for these
crossings, the same to be furnished by
Sept. LIST, compliance with which
would have resulted in a complete re-
pair of ell defective crosswalks, as we'll
as the putting in of several new cross
ings.
A number of prominent farmers re-
siding over in Pierce county, Wis,
we're nearly taken in by a foreign mu-
tual hail insurance company last
spring. The agents only asked for
the payment of 50 by each farmer at
the time of their visit, but what was
more important they secured sigma
ture to five years contract from each.
Recently each farmer received no.
tice of an assessment levied against
him of from $50 to $50. The COM
pany is, without doubt, fraudulent
one but it will be an expensive fight
for the former if they refuse to pay.
It's the old story of the guilesome
stranger and the ready victim who is
prejudiced against doing business
with the business people of his own
community because they may make a
reasonable profit on their transactions.
Nearly all reliable fire insurance COM
panies write hail insurance and every
resident insurance agent in this or any
other locality would protect his pa
irons. Over 200 Pierce county policy
holders in defunct mutual life insur-
ance company we're recently sued for
amounts ranging from $3.50 to $50.
About two-thirds of them have paid
but many of the others will contest
the cases.
