ELI PERKINS ON EXPANSION.
Puts Forth n Point In Favor of the
Porto Rican Tariff
LAW.

"I'm very glad the government has
started the precedent of putting a
quarter of the Dingley tariff on Porto
Rico sugar and tobacco" said Ken
lucky tobacco raiser. "Of course Por-
to Rico's little crop don't trouble us
much. But, by and by" he continued,
''we've got to legislate for tariff on
Philippine tobacco, rics and jute.
They have 100000 people and that
Manila tobacco raised by ten-cent la
Dor is nearly the best tobacco in the
world. If that should come to the
United States free, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Wis
consin and Connecticut tobacco raisers
would have to quit. OF course they
will have to pay the freight over here,
and IL it comes here we will have to pay
our farm boys Manila wages with the
freight added, or go out of business.
They have been paying over dollar a
pound to get their tobacco through
our custom house, and hope our wise
Kentucky democrats will look after
our state even if they have to agree
with the administration"

Expansion for Farmers.

Frank II. Hitchcock, chief of the
section Of foreign markets in the de-
partment of agriculture, says that the
American farmer as well as the Amer
lean manufacturer is reaping the
benefits of expansion. He adds: 1--WE
are searching the world over to find
new markets in order that the Amer
lean farmer may have reader and
more profitable sale for his products.
Our control Of the markets Of Cuba
aud Porto Rico will mean money in
the pockets Of our farmers. Under
normal conditions these two islands
purchase annually $5o,O0o,0oo worth Of
agricultural produce, chiefly bread
stuffs and provisions, and practically
all OF this trade should come from the
United States"

HOUSE WAS OUT OF COAL.
How Buffalo Bill Regulated n Red
Lodge (MOntD Hotel One
Cold Morning.

"Bill" McCune, we'll known as one Of
Buffalo Bits firm friends and chief
lieutenants, tells story in the Omaha
Bee, of how Col. Cody regulated coun-
try hotel. 1T was at Red Lodge, Mont,
last winter" said McCune, land the
weather was just about as cold as ii
ever gets. He arose at five o'clock in
the morning, MS is his custom. Going tc
the hotel office he found a man-of-all.
work engaged in scrubbing the floor.
There was not particle of fire.
Col. Cody wanted to know how soon
there would be some heat. The scrub
Der told him ii was an indefinite propo-
sition as the hotel had suddenly run out
of coal. Meanwhile Cody sat in chair
shivering. The man who welded the
mop stick scrubbed away as though it
were summer time, and coming close to
Cody, he gave wide swath with his
mop, completely enveloping the
coloners feet. A moment later that
man was kicking about in a snow drift
in front of the hotel. The colonel had
thrown him out.
''Cody was mad. He bolted out of the
hotel like a whirlwind, and finding a
coal dealer, woke him up and ordered
ton of coal sent Immediately to the
hotel. When he returned he went into
the dining-room, thinking it might be
warmer than the hotel office. He was
vexed TO find that the man he had
pitched into the snowdrift had picked
himself up and had meantime scrubbed
the dining-room. The water froze on
the floor until 1t was like skating rink.
A timid little woman, who was nervous
for fear she would miss train, got up
early and, failing to find a fire in the
Office, peeped through the dining-room
door and asked: rs there no fire here,
either? Fire., replied the gallant
colonel, mo, madam, there is no fire.
These people seem to be running a
skating rink, and before you venture in
here you will do well to buckle on a
pair of skates After awhile the coal
arrived and Cody did not cease until
he saw red-hot blaze in every stove
in the house."

SLEEP. LITTLE BABY, SLEEP.

Sleep. little baby. sometime maybe. when
the morn shall break.
Birds and bees shall sing to greet you just
as you awake;
Rest Is sweet when soft night cometh. dark
and downy, too,
Made that fierce light might not waken
little mites like you;
Babies, too, get tired at evening just like
men and maids,
Sleep, for wells Of night have fallen DER
the glens and glades.
Just outside your open window mods a
Keeping watch with breath like incense
DER your sweet repose;
Nightingales sift liquid music through the
leaves near by,
Softened by the soothing distance comes
the OWLS shrill cry;
Leaves bend low to laugh and listen as
they watch your face,
Whispering softly lest they wake you from
that pose of grace.
Surely never mightiest monarch had a
sweeter nest,
Never thoughtful love more loyal watched
the couch he pressed;
Flowers to glad you when you waken with
their bliss and bloom,
Clarifying every corner of the humble
Faithful Fido crouching ready at your tiny
feet,
One of many hearts which guard you In
your snug retreat.
Surely sleep must needs be perfect for a
: babe like you.
Soul so void of leaks and lying that no
sins creep through;
Heart as innocent of hatred as Of vicious
thought,
Face on which no evil fancies fiendish fres-
Goes wrought:
Sleep without remorse to write It's record
In black dreams.
Mite to which all faith and fullness means
just what 1t seems.
Would that we could sleep as calmly in
untroubled rest,
No remorseful recollections branded In our
breast
Sleeping tranquil as the fiowerets waiting
for the morn,
Nothing to distract our slumbers, like the
babe new born;
Thou shalt wake to love and laughter
though thy face be hid
Meath the flowers which veil with splen-
dor thy white collins lid.

at any cost, endeavor to remove this
bad first impression.
my uncle has spoken much of you,
Fraulein Brettschneider," he began.
Indeed, sir?"
"And II you could only know In
what fiattering manner he spoke"
"Your uncle is indeed all too kind"
"And you, all too modest; for IL all
the qualities"
Unfortunately, Arnold was not per-
mitted to finish the polished speech
upon his lips, for at that moment
three men noisily entered the room,
followed by Herr Brettschneider.
Arnold turned around in surprise.
Perhaps some visitors or relatives Of
the family. At any rate there was a
friendly look upon their faces as they
advanced toward him.
But Arnold was not allowed to
carry his thoughts further, for at a
sign from Herr Brettschneider the
three strangers seized him.

Wasted effort! He was promptly
handcuffed, bound and transported
from the room by six strong arms.
"Thank God!" calculated Herr

moval of his strange guest. Now
both he and ourselves are secure"

"Such a pity! In his rational mo-

his nephew.
"My poor boy, can it be possible? ~
cried he, in tears. 'Such sudden

"Oh, uncle, only tell me what it al

In few minutes all was clear to
the uncle, and an irrepressible laugh
broke from his lips.
Such misunderstanding!
Indeed, the whole proceedings were
so serio-comic that Arnold fell to
laughing heartily over his adven.

100 WE agree, then, my boy? The
y girl pleases your
"rleases me? l am fairly carried
away with her!" And Arnold Friese
gazed with rapture at the photograph
in his hand. what loveliness! lncom-
parable, uncle!"
THAT pleases me, my boy; that
pleases me. Hitherto.all my attempts
to persuade you to marry have been
fruitless."
But this is different, uncle. In all
previous instances your enthusiasm
was by no means justified. What you
took for beauty was merely illusion.
But here-who could hesitate? One
would indeed be blind not to see here
the fullest Greek ideal of loneliness"
But her worth consists not in her
beauty alone, my boy. She is a good,
gentle girl, and of a lovable disposition.
When / first met her, here in Berlin,
while on short visit with her parents,
l was enraptured with the girl, and
thought at once of you. If it only could
be, thought 1; if it only could be! To
have such a niece!"
Now, you see, uncle, you shall have
her. Not merely because her parents
have given their consent through your
recommendations, nor that the girl
herself is not unwilling to bestow her
hand upon memo; i, myself, who have
ever been so hard to suit, and have al
ways opposed your wishes-I could EN-
brace the whole world, at the thought
of my union with her."
And in transport of rapture and graf
itude Arnold flung himself into his un-
cle's arms and kissed the old man on
both cheeks.
The latter rubbed his hands con-
tentedly. Good, my boy, good! And
now that we are agreed as to the main
point, will give you few details of
the matter"
Yes, uncle"

"You can start as soon as you like.
At all events, you should be there by
noon tomorrow, and, indeed, upon a
most natural Fxetext. Twill give it out
that you are called to Leipzig upon
business, and by way of making this
true will send by you this silver
lorgnette to Frau Brettschneider,
which she lost while here in Berlin at
the opera, and which she requested me
to find for her. And, as you need be
in no hurry to return, remain in Leip-
zig as long as may be necessary for
the accomplishment of your mission.

young lady has given you definite
1yes.'"
81 will do my very best, uncle, you
may be sure"
"And now, success to your efforts,
my boy! Telegraph me as soon as the
wished-for result Is attained, that
may arrange for your wedding"
Wait until -,orning?
No; Arnold Friese did not relish the
idea. The Berlin life was too distract
ing to permit one to dwell long upon
any one thought, however cherished.
So Arnold resolved to leave that very
evening.
Arrived at the station, he boarded
the train, and, possessing himself OF an
empty coach, took his seat at window
and gazed at the throng outside.
The platform was already pretty
well crowded. Were all these people
