1893, after his return from Mountain
Lake Park. He paid him a friendly
visit Or. Pipes talked intelligently to
witness about a surgical operation
which had been performed on the pre-
vious day by DR.. Haning, under his di-
rection. On December 9Th. 1898, wit
ness went to DR.. Pipes Office and took

Meighen for collection.
DR.. s. L. Jepson testified that he had
known DR.. Pipes intimately for about
twenty years. He saw him occasion
ally during the last year of his life. He
did not notice any change in his mental
condition. On one occasion he was
called by Mrs. Pipes at night and found
the Doctor in a stupor, which was ap-
parently induced by some drug. The
next day he saw him and he was per-
fectly rational Witness saw him half
dozen times at Mt. Lake Park, and
his mental condition was good.
DIR. Jepson related a conversation he
had with DR.. Pipes with reference to
the Board of Education trouble some
years ago, and subsequent troubles. DR..
Pipes remarked that his son John
might live to rue what he had done by
taking sides against him.
Slater Pipes testified that Rev. r. R.
Bigger told witness that he regretted
he had been called upon to testify.
DR.. M. A. Dowler testified that he
knew DR.. Pipes intimately; had studied
medicine under him, and always went
to him for advice. He saw the Doctor
at Mountain Lake Park, at Cameron
and at his home after his return. DR..
Pipes was physically weak but perfect
ly sound in his mind.
At this point Mr.. Hubbard stated
that there were several witnesses
whom it was impossible to secure in
the afternoon and court adjourned I'M
til this morning.

A GOOD CLERK.

The petty cares and all other vicis-
itudes in connection with running a
retail store must be borne by the re-
taller himself. The clerk can take no
part in this phase of the business. The
retailer must stake his all and wait
patiently for any return of his own
hard work and capital invested. No
such contingency confronts the clerk
when IL comes to draw his weekly. sa-
larry. Whether he sells or not, his sa-
larry runs right on, When clerks APP
preciate the difference in this respect
between themselves and their employ
ers they begin to be really valuable
The clerk who thinks that after he
has waited on the customers his en-
ployer has no further claim upon him
is not the most valuable clerk. The
clerk who takes no further interest in
his employer than to do no more than
is absolutely required OF him to hold
his position, is not the clerk the en-
ployer will advance at the first oppor-
tunity. For in these modern days Of
keen competition and narrow profits
the clerk who says to himself, II will
40 everything in my power to help
the business for which am employed
just as much as if it were my own
business" is the clerk who will always
be indispensable to his employer, no
matter how dull business may be, and
no matter what other clerks may be
dispensed with. 1t will hold good in
all other branches OF business.

All the political parties will next
year resolve against trusts in their
platforms, and will denounce any
business combination that encroaches
upon public rights. All parties alike
will take this position. The republic
can party will take the lead in the
matter as it always has. In fact the
republican party ranged itself against
trusts as early as the national plat
form OF 1888, and what has been done
in that direction since has come from
the republicans. TO the republican
party then must be looked for any
political action in the matter; but
this is nothing new. When any ma
tional advance is necessary the repub-
lican party is looked to and summon
ed by the people to accomplish it.
The people have learned to rely upon
it in every emergency.

From the reports of the treasury
department concerning our foreign
commerce we CLEAN this magnificent
fact, that tn. trade OF the last fiscal
year is most astonishing and is re-
markable indication Of the prosperity
of the country. Our total imports
for the year amount to $697 ,ll6,S54.
OF this sum $2l1 ,S69,91S was for arti-
cles OF food and live animals; $22l,-
93S,377 was for articles in crude
condition which entered into the var
ious processes of domestic industry;
while only sos, 621 ,406 was for arti-
Giles manufactured ready for consump-
ton; and what the treasury bureau OF
statistics terms "articles of voluntary
use, luXuries, etc." amounted to only
$93, 9l4,635. Duty was collected on
43 per cent. of everything imported
and amounted to $206,507,S12. Our
total exports amount in value to near
ly twice our imports, the sum reach
ing the enormous total of 81 ,204, 123-
1874. OF this sum 1874, $4,000 was
for products OF agriculture, so that in
this class alone our exports amount
to u larger sum than all our total i'm
ports. Our exports of products of
manufactures amounted to $685., 667-
1874. Our products of mines exported
amounted to $2S,S32,557. Our pro-
duets of the forest exported amounted
to $42,316,779. The fiscal year shows
indeed a magnificent trade balance in
our favor Manufactures are now be-
coming more than third of our total
domestic exports and the uantity
and value are constantly increasing.
OF this remarkable growth the manu-
features OF iron and steel are the most
striking. Out of a total increase in
our exports of manufactures during
the year which amount to about $43,-
100000 in round numbers 1913 900 1000
is in the manufactures OF iron and
steel. The total exports of iron and
steel manufactures for the fiscal year
1899 were sos, $4,000, or more than
three times as much as those of 1894.
On the other hand, the imports OF
manufactures of iron and steel con-
tinue to fall, having been during the
year $l2,098,2 $50 against $25,33S, 103
in 1896, and $50, 544,372 in 1891; thus
while our exports in this line have
been constantly growing, the imports
have fallen so that they are now less
than one-half what they were in 1886,
and about one-fiith what they were in
1894.
