How Harmony May Be Restored.

case of Cuba, on the formation of a stable
government, the expenses of the protect

Had this been done our tariff million
aires would not be trying through the Re
publican party, TO impose an unconstitu-
tional tariff on Porto Rico, for free trade
in Porto Rico, as Territory of the United
States. would involve free trade in the
Philippines, which would deal too great a
blow to their selfish interests to be toll
Grated. Here is the cause of discord in
the party, and the only means possible to
restore harmony will be an act of Con-
gress relinquishing all claim of sovereign
ty over the islands, but establishing over
them such protectorate as / have above
described.
Such an act would kill ''anti-imperiaI
ism and thus quell the revolt in the Re-
publican party, and would also wrest from
the Democrats all benefit from their really
solid plank of 'the Constitution" The re-
suit would be to keep the present party

choose as their standard bearer man of
moral stamina, with vertebraI column-a
man who dares to disobey the behests of
his party, seeking to trample on the Con-

selfish interests in place of a government

LIVES BY KILLING WOLVES
Nebraska Man Whose Only Oeeupa-
ton Il Destroying the
Brutes.

Peter A. Watson ("Wolf Watson'O of
Nebraska Live Stock association to pay
him for putting in his entire time kill
ing wolves He has reduced the wolf
census of the state so that he can kill
but 200 a year now. When he began
he killed 500 year.
Watson's father, famous hunter,
who shot buffalo with Buffalo Bill or
a contract to supply the Union Pacific
railroad builders with meat, was killed
in wolf chase.
The son is now IS, as straight as an
Indian and a famous rider. He goes
from point to point where complaint is
made of wolves depredations, riding a
superb horse and accompanied by six
of his fine staghounds. Dogs and
horses run down the wolves in the open
prairie.
Then the training shows. A wolf
could kill one of Watson's dogs, but the
six show team work. and so divide the
animals attention that they are seldom
injured.
Upon his hunting trip Watson carries
only revolver, and seldom needs to
use even that. When he needs it, he
needs it badly, for though a wolf will
never attack man so long as he might
run, a hard-pressed wolf will sometimes
sell his life dearly.
Once a big gray wolf jumped at Wat
son, clawing the tanks of his horse and
the riders right leg and hand. Wat
son reached over with his left hand,
drew his pistol and fired four shots at
the wolf, but didn't harm the brute
much, as his horse danced about so as
to spoil his aim. Watson had but one
shot left. He put his pistol in the
VOLTS mouth and, at.the risk of blowing
off his own fingers, fired. That shot
finished the animal, after which the
bleeding man and horse had ten weary
miles to travel to the nearest town.
But, weak as they were from loss Of
blood, they took the wolf with them

QUEER COST MARKS.
Ton Letter Words and Phrases
Chosen as Secret Signs
A Custom That Has DISAPPEARED in
the Great Retail HoaIea of
New York City - Some
Odd Marks.

Among the old-time features which
are disappearing from the city stores
because of the modern methods is the
cabalistic cost mark which the mer-
chant once thought as indispensable as
the counter over which he sold his
wares.
The man who started business for
himself devoted many hours before he
made his first display of wares to max
ing up" a cost mark. This had to be
unlike any other mark, and was, IN
some instances, composed of ten hero
glyphics, often of transposed figures,
and more often of word or two, the
letters of which could be used to ex-
press figures. A large wholesale con-
Germ in New York used the mark God
save u.s." and made up the tenth figure
with a cross. Through this business
house the pious cost mark became
known all over the country. Clerks
from the establishment entered the
mercantile field on their own account
and took the cost mark with them, and
within few years it was in use in near
" every state in the union.
Another cost mark which found many
admirers was snake profit" and this
was only a trifle more popular than
"Quick trade" "Johny Miles" served
as sign as well as cost mark for one
concern, and one sentimental Irishman
who opened linen store in New York
in the days when Niblo's garden was
"away up town" chose as his cost mark
"My Bridget o."
When the campaign of 1860 was at it's
height an ardent republican in Boston,
in whose store a cost mark was in use
that had been invented by his grand
father, marked all his goods over in
order to use the mark, "Abe will win,'
and this mark remained in use for years
after "Abe" had won the fight against
Douglas, Breckenridge and Bell, who
were all candidates against Lincoln.
About that time the cost mark "Hit
Douglas" was invented, and that and
Republican" are still in use in places
where plain figures have not superseded
the puzzle marks.
A large dry goods house, which had
the patronage of hundreds of pack, bas-
ket and wagon peddlers, used as cost
mark the words, "Revoch Gilt" Yid-
dish phrase, which means, "Profit tells"
and the translation was also used by
the same concern.
"These marks were useful" said the
manager of one of the large New York
dry goods stores, when houses had an
asking and taking price. Inthose
days man behind the counter had to
know what the goods cost to put on the.
shelf so that he could regulate himself
