Grandmother Independence had two
beautiful daughters. both American to
the core. The elders name was Agri-
culture. She was a handsome girl OF
pure unmixed stock. calm. very lnbori-
ous and Of bucollc inclinations. The
younger daughter had little foreign
blood In her veins. Her name was In
dustry; very pretty girl. indeed. full
OF life. not averse to Irritation. and OF
extremely vlvacious temperament. Sell
dom indeed have two sisters presented
more striking contrast.
To complete her education. the
younger daughter. the more promls-
Ing. went abroad. She visited Lanca-
shire and spent some time In the old
ancestral manor. While there she made
lot OF desirable and undesirable ac-
quaintances. which were subsequently,
TO exert most disastrous influence on
her happiness. This phase OF her his
tory would fll good-slzed volume.
The wayward girl came back home In
cosmopolitan attire. affecting Lon
don accent. a free thinker In matters
OF economy. As she exhibited all the
outward signs OF unrestrained prodl-
gality. old Sister Agriculture could
never get along with her. The original
chasm had developed into an abyss.
1t was not long before Mother 1nde-
pendcnce's keen eye could detect the
dangerous propensities Of her prodigal
daughter. so she deemed II wise TO ap-
ply a strong corrective at once in the
shape Of healthy. vigorous husband.
Young American Industry needed It
very badly.
Her mother had beforehand selected
virile companion OF athletic frame,
and equally well built morally. His
name was The Tariff. He was not OF
noble extraction, had not been edu-
Gated for diplomacy: but In place OF n
university diploma or heraidlc coat OF
arms could on almost every occasion
show a lot OF hard American common
sense. character and Individuality. He
had been raised at the school OF strict
est economy, and was sure to be
model OF domestic virtues. A mar
riage took place on good day early in
November. and the mother at last felt
relieved OF all anxious cares and re-
sponsIbillties.
Tho young wife was at nrst very fond
OF her husband, whose kind attentions
anticipated her smallest wants and
most capriclous desires. She had more
pin money than any wife OF a sue
cessful business man ever dreamed OF.
This was the beginning OF the trouble.
as Industry was too versatile to stand,
like Sister Agriculture, uninterrupted
prosperity and domestic felicity.
A most happy event OF providential
timelIness prevented. or. better said.
postponed family cataclysm. Two
lusty sons. twins. were the legitimate
fruit OF this union.
Father and mother decided to call |
the first one Labor and the second one |
Enterprise. As they had in their veins
the virile blood of the father and the
healthy constitution OF the mother. |
both boys were very strong. full Of
health and appetite. but--and very
likely owing to the widely different
characteristics OF the father and
mother-they were far from beinc
physically and morally alike. Baby
Labor was fond OF the milk bottle.
but. for some reason or other, Baby
Enterprise ever managed to have 1t
most OF the time In his little mouth.
What big glutton!" used to say
the mother. Each baby should have
his turn. This is not fair" Never
mind" rejoined the father; Il shall
make one boy lawyer and the other a
mechanic. With such blood In their
veins as that of Father Tariff and
Mother Industry. both will succeed in
their respective callings." And this
was to happen some day; but we must
not anticipate.
Four years after marriage the tenn
permanent OF Industry. for some time
under restraint. asserted itself more VI |
olently than ever before. All was not
harmony under the conjugal roof. To
make matters still worse, the two chill
dren. Labor and Enterprise. had to
be separated. as they were fighting all
the time over the milk bottle. Baby
Labor. like Aunty Agriculture. was Of
a happy and concillatory disposition.
never seeking quarrels without mo-
tiftss put bduy EuttIpEist ndu ulore OF |
his mothers blood, and no amount of
milk could stop him from making
trouble. The separation of the two
boys was easily accomplished by Civ
ing each baby nurse. and letting
them see each other from time to time |
when the spirit of Enterprise" was In
the right mood.
But what could not be so easily ac-
was harmony between hus-
band and wife. The union OF Miss In
dustry with Mr.. Tariff. having been
prompted chiefly by considerations OF
interest. did not prove altogether a
love match. The extravagant wife had

wanted untold millions This her kind
husband could not give. A cataclysm
was In the air.
One day. coming home after busi-

shot the destroyer OF his home and rob-
Der of his affections. The drama
ended In divorce, and the court gave
Father Tariff the custody OF Labor and
