The cuIprit had called up all his
strength and had answered:
Yes"
you are still alive, them"
"Yes."
"Do you repent of your crime?"
Eyes"
Then I'm going to take You down."
The father and son took the man
down and understood how 1t was that
he still lived. The rope, instead of
Selling the neck of the robber, had
seized the neck of the helmet, and the
sufferer, who was hung but not hang
ed, had been able to breathe and to
live until the two peasants came along
and rescued him. They took him home
and gave him into the charge of the
mother and daughter of the family.
But a thief is always thief. There
were only two things to steal in the
PEASANTS cottage-his horse and his
daughter, fair virgin Of sixteen. The
rescued man determined to steal both.
He wanted the horse and lusted after
the girl. One evening, therefore, he
saddled the horse put on his armor
and added pair of spurs to make the
animal go more quickly, and, Selling
the young girl, who was asleep, tried
to take her up behind him, but she
awoke and cried out
The father and the son hurried up.
The robber tried to escape, but it was
too late. The young girl told what the
villain had tried to do, and the father
and the brother, seeing that the fellow
was totally irreclaimable, resolved to
do justice on him better than the lord
of Piroche had done. They took him
back to 'Piroche and hanged him aga n,
putting his helmet on the ground, so
+ that he should not escape once more,
and then they quietly went home.
AS for Seigneur de la Piroche, as he
now had the powerful talisman, he
started joyfully for the wars, and was
the very first man to be killed.

The Farmer and the Trusts.

With no signs of rising prices for
grain and no possibility of any combi-
nation among producers Of the cereals
to control the markets, farmers are to
be asked to pay about Is per cent more
for plows than they have had to give
in recent years. The reason is the in
creased cost to the pillow acturers
of the iron and steel which they use.
What do the iron and steel trust mama
gers think will be the effect upon the
votes of farmers of a stiff rise in the
price of plows and farm machinery and
implements, generally speaking? Will
it be conducive to the safety and prof
its Of such corporations? Will it tend
to destroy them utterly Cleveland

Fate is unpenetrated causes.-Emer-

Nothing is SO expensive as glory. Sid

Men hate those to whom they have to

Happiness is reflective, like the light OF

The greatest of faults, should say, is

Friendship is the greatest honesty and

We easily forget those faults which are
known only to ourselves.-La Rochefou-

Murmur at nothing; if our ills are re-

is vain.-Cotton.
Men possessing minds which are mo-

general, a greater share of dignity than
happiness.--Bacon.
We should often have reason to be
ashamed of our most brilliant actions, if
the world see the motive from which they
spring.-Lo Rochefoucald.
The little mind who loves itself will
write and think with the vulgar; but the
great mind will be bravely eccentric, and
scorn the beaten road, from universal
benevolence.-Go Goldsmith.
As small letters hurt the sight, so do

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Moody's Logic.

Recently Dwight Moody, the famous
evangelist, addressed the Yale stud
ents, and took stand with, the adj
ministration on the policy of imperial
ism. In an Interview Immediately
after his address Mr.. Moody said: "We
cannot leave these natives 1.-THE Fill
pinos) to form their own government.
Tt would be another case of Kilkenny
cats. They would kill themselves off. !"
Brother Moody, in order to prevent
the Filipinos from killing themselves
off, would do the killing himslf or by
duly selected and paid proxies. We
can see no other escape from his logic.
According to Brother Moody the heath
en- Filipino must be saved, even at the
point of the bayonet. Christianity has
often held up its hands in holy horror
when it remembered how Mahomet
swept through Europe with the dead
Cry, 1.-THE Koran or the sword!' But
Brother Moody forgets that now in the
exciting chase of the Filipinos. he
forgets his repeated shudder at the
thought Of Mahomet's awful cruelty
because just now he is busy watching
the Outstanding of the Filipino by
the bayonet and rapid fire gun process.
If Brother Moody ever stops to Won
der why the church does not make
more rapid progress he would do well
to consider the fact that just such ex-
pressions as the one he recently gave
voice to is calculated to make thinking
men just a little bit chary about tax
ing up with the church. Filipinos
might, it is true, kill themselves off If
left to their own devices, but if they
do their blood will be upon their own
hands and not upon the hands of
Americans. ~ World Herald.

The preacher was having a sort of

In response to this there was an ap.
parently unanimous uprising.

others to sit down, "all those who do
not pay will please stand up"
One man alone arose.

Attorney General Griggs protests
that it is impossible for him to sup
press the trusts because the law cannot
be made to reach them.
Well, let us assume for the sake Of
argument thatitis. If the government
cannot suppress the trusts, at least il
is not obliged to encourage, protect
and substitute them, is it? asks the
New York Journal.
Why should we give the $7,000,00t
borax trust the power to tax American
consumers cents a pound on borax
Could not the 500, 100000 knit good
company and the $50, 700, 900 print clotl
pool get along without duties of 81
per cent and upward on the things
that people must wear?
Would it not be possible for the
United States Cast Iron Pipe ano
Foundry company, capital s30,ooo,0o0
to make a living without SO a ton pro
lection?
Is the s3o,0oO,oOo National Lea6
company in dire need of the proceeds
of a tax of a cent and half pounc
on lead?
Could not the s45,OoO,OOO western
lumber pool destroy our forests fast
enough without the stimulus of a duty
of So per thousand feet on pine boards?
Do the consumers of sugar feel
morally bound to pay tariff taxes of
$40, 10000 a year to the sugar trust
and its allies, with their capital of
S12s, 900, 900?
Are the various steel trusts, total
capitalization 1857 100000, SO poor
that they must have outdoor relief in
the form of duties of from 1912 per
ton upward on steel and its products?
is not the $50, 0OO,O American Tin
Plate company a sufficiently robust in
FAINT by this time to be able to dispense
with its pap of II cents a pound on tin
plate?
Put every article controlled by the
on the free list.
That is simple, practicable policy.
1t needs no litigation. Its execution
would not depend on the zealand good
faith of prosecuting officers and courts.
"But that would mean free trade, y
somebody objects. "The trusts con-
troll every thing now, and if their pro-
ducts are put on the free list there will
be no tariff left.
Well what of it? If trusts are the
only beneticiaries of the tariff we can
certainly dispense with it as far as
protection is concerned. AS to reve-
nue., 1--WE can get that from agraduated
income tax.

Everybody laughed and looked at the
horrible face of the corpse. AS for the
lord Of Piroche, he only troubled him
self to make sure that the robber was
indeed dead and to take back his
armor.
They took down the body, stripped J,
of the armor and hung it up again

Protection and Its Results.

Whatever may have been the case
in the past, protective duties are now
used to foster monopolies and create
trusts. Most of the trusts controlling
production, prices and wages are
bottomed on high duties, which pre-
vent competition from abroad, while
combination strangles it at home.
That is the office Of protection just
now. 1t bears no relation to wages,
for supply and demand regulates them,
but as a promoter Of trusts protection
finds its natural Office. The antitrust
republican papers now see this ane
urge the repeal of all duties under
which trusts are created. -Pittsbaps

The administration organs two
years ago pointed to Edward Atkinson
as man of wonderful mental endow-
ment, a man whose perception of
right, duty and honesty was too keen
to be deceived, and who was always
right. What they really meant to say
was that Atkinson was always right
when he believed as they were in
Etructed to believe.

afraid that the Missouri court of

on dishonesty because it decides that
a trust cannot collect a debt in
Missouri. The Chicago Journals con-
Germ for the preservation of honesty is

the welfare of the trusts is at stake.

GEN. ALGER LEAVES PORTO RICO

San Juan, de Porto Rico, April g.
General Russel A. Alger, the Secretary of
War, with his party, left today by the
transport Ingalls,, proceeding direct for
New York, where he should arrive on
Friday.
During his stay here he recsived many
petitions from municipalities asking
financial help and relief from excessive
taxation.
The administration of General Henry,
the governor of the island, is understood
to be entirely satisfactory to the secretary
of war who entirely approves his policy.
The secretary and the governor had a
long conference and an understanding
was reached between them as to the
future. Although General Alger refrained
from expressing any opinion on the mat
ter, it is believed, that in his judgment
the OWL government must come slowly
and that the Porto Ricans must exercise
patience.
