These boys will make their mark in life:
They never were made TO handle hoe,
And at once to college they ought to go.

Great men in this world are bound to be;
But Tom. he's little above fool

Now, really, wife, - uuoth Farmer Brown.
AS he set his mug of cider down,
Tom does more work in day for me
Than both of his brothers do in three.

Nor hoe potatoes, sure as you're born.
Nor mend a rood of broken fence
FOR my part, give me common sense"
But his wife the roost was bound to rule,
And so the boys" were sent to school,
While Tom, of course, was left behind
For his mother said be had no mind.
Five years at school the students spent,
Then each one into business went.

And parted his hair (of course) in the middle.

And hung out his shingle, III. Brown, NJ. Dr.

But he went to work on the farm again,
Planted his corn and sowed his grain,

CHARACTER IN ONES VOICE.

Unless the voice sounds cordiality
words are powerless unless the voice
attests self confidence protestations
do not convince; unless the voice
speaks sincerity the apology is use
less. It is necessary that we should
control the voice to reflection of that
phase of mind and mood which we de-
sire to present. When we would
convince people of Our efficiency, we
must not permit weak kneed voice
to stagger under the words. When
our heart goes out in warmth and af-
fection, it cannot get far in brass
lined, iron bound voice. Concilia-
ton is vain when the voice rings de-
fance.
Imagine yourself at telephone
when the instrument whirs and
wheezes. The most impassioned ap-
peal to John to come home to dinner
and meet Cousin Mary is likely to
prove Intellectual. A message to that
brute of a dressmaker man who
wants his money may be divided into
the receiver with all dignity of tone
and choice of word, but the wabbled
reproduction at the other end does not
go. You may use all your most dull
Get tones and most expressive words
when uorl-aEe- -talkinG- thEaHelas.tlle
the business manager does not get
the right idea at all.
The truth is that most of us are al
ways talking through telephone.
The honest will, the courteous intent,
the high heart of courage, speaks
clear and sweet and strong, but the
muffled, wheezy, creaky, thin, un-
natural, colorless result at our lips
misrepresents US, and John doesn't,
the dressmaker man insists, and the
business manager gives the other fell
low the job.
What can we do about it The
difficulty is almost always first a voice
habit-a color the voice has taken on
from some prevailing tint in our life.
This is so with almost every one.
This stain of the natural voice color
is not voice individuality it is mod
ifying of voice individuality, an OBJ
securing of it. 1t is habit, not a
characteristic. 1t must be got rid of.
Only just what you want must go
into your voice. Think of that lit
tie. When you call to the child who
stands on the edge of a fall, shall
your panic go into your voice or just
the reassuring note of gentle author
ity that you know will bring the child
to you instead of startling it over the
dreadful edge? When you interview
the insubordinate cook, shall your
sense that she very we'll deserves to
be thrown out of your back door and
her trunk on top Of her prevail in
your voice or your earnest desire to
keep her in hand till after the i'm
pending dinner? When you face
Just the personality in your world
who holds at the minute your for
tunes in his gift, shall your sick sense
that he does not know and may not
believe in your fitness for what your
are going to ask color your voice, or
shall your firm belief that you can fill
the place characterize it? That is the
whole question. Shall your voice
vibrate to such quality of your mood
as you choose, or shall it be at the
mercy of JUST what will do you injus-
tice in the mind of those who hear p

THE INTER RupTED REpRIMAND.

The uprising of the Yaqui Indians
in the Southwest gives new interest
to stories of the old fighters. Gener.
al Z. R. Bliss, United States Army, of
Washington, recently retired, has
many a tale of fire and blood to tell.
1.-The most exciting time l ever
passed through" said the General
the other day, was just before bat
tie in the Civil War. The Colonel
commanding my regiment was disa-
bled, and 1 was hurriedly put in
charge. The officer of the right wing
of the Army did not know of the
change, therefore when he was order
ed by me to move certain distance
to the front he was afraid to do so ufi-
til he had heard from the Colonel.
This was natural, for, SO far as he
knew, 1 had no right to issue the or
ders, and he thought that he would
be liable to arrest if he obeyed them.
He had just turned to me with a re-
fusal, and 1 was about to arrest him,
when he dropped dead. "-PAiladel-

WHEN COMPANY COMES IN THE COUNTRY.

Begin to enjoy yourself when
your guests arrive-in fact, before
they arrive" is Mrs. John B. Sims
advice to the hostess in an article on
Entertaining In the Country" in
The Ladies Home /0wnal DO
not try to serve such an elaborate din
ner that the work of getting it ready
will draw so upon your physical pow
ers that they will be strained to their
utmost endurance. When your visi-
tors arrive, greet them with hearty
handshake, make them feel that you
are ready for their coming, speak of
the pleasure that you hope the day
may bring, compliment them on their
good appearance, notice the neck
wear, the dainty handkerchief be
thoroughly interested in each and
eyery one. When the time comes for
you to prepare the dinner and place
it upon the table, leave your guests as
gracefully as possible. If the dinner
be not too elaborate, and the mental
atmosphere be clear and bright, your
friends will come again. Eat to live
and not live to eat should be the
motto of every household.

AMERICANS ARE

We Must Advance Conner.
cialIy, Being Producers.
Must Seek Markets Elsewhere and Gre

Expansion Natural in a
Nations Life.

(By John G. Eames, of the II. B. Claf1in
Co., of New York;
How any man at all interested in the
advancement and welfare of this great
country can preach the doctrine of anti
expansion is more than l can understand.
Anti-expansion means contraction, or
at least that would be the result. Unless
we seek markets for our goods outside Of
the limits of our own country we cannot
advance commercially. We are coun-
try of producers. Not only do we draw
from natures bountiful supplies Of the
ground, but, by using the ingenuity
Providence has given us, we have demon
strated that we can by modern machin-
cry turn out more manufactured goods
than we can use. Therefore we must not
only seek markets elsewhere, but we
must create new markets for our produc-
tons. To do this our country must have
at least a foothold in other countries,
commercially at least.

Our occupancy Of Cuba and Porto Rico
has assured us Of the greater part of the
trade with those islands. The influence
for good has not stopped there, but it
has extended to all the Spanish-speaking
countries Of America. Inquiries from
these countries for American goods and
manufactures are becoming more numer-
Gus every day.
I wish to say right here from my own
knowledge of the business men in Cuba,
and from what they have said to me per-
sonally, that I am sure that their conf
dence in us alone was what made them
continue business on the islands and feel
that there was future for them. With
out an exception the business men from
Havana and other cities in Cuba have
stated frankly to me that if the United
States should withdraw entirely from
Cuba they themselves would feel obliged
to go out of business; that all business
confidence would be shaken.
Speaking especially Of fabrics manu-
featured from cotton, think how impor-
tant it is that we find new markets for
our cotton goods. OF the nine to twelve
millions Of bales of raw cotton produced
in this country two-thirds of it is ex-
ported and made up into cotton cloths
abroad. The expectation of the raw ma
terial in itself is an immense factor in
our foreign trade and commerce, but how
much better it would be, instead of send
ing two-thirds Of the raw cotton abroad
and using one-third in manufacturing
goods in this country, to export one-third
and use two-thirds here, exporting the
finished product, thereby doubling the
number Of our mills and factories and
giving employment to twice the number
Of operatives. ...'".. r.. -,
It is not probable that we will ever
gain very much Of foothold on Chinese
shores, for it does not seem to be the de-
sire Of the people Of this country at large
that we should expand to that extent.
But we have the Philippine Islands, prac-
tically forced upon us by circumstances,
which in the near future will prove to
be one of the most valuable territorial
acquisitions that we have made since the
original thirteen States were organized.
Not only can we, in time, supply the
seven or eight million inhabitants Of
those islands with practically everything
that they do not raise or manufactu
themselves, but we can use the, islands
as stepping to Asiatic countries.
The majority Of the large Hongkong and
Shanghai houses already have branches
in Manila, as well as representatives in
New York; this will complete the chain
Of commercial intercourse between this
country and China.
What we need to expand our trade and
commerce with other countries is broad
and liberal policy by this government
such as the present administration has
adopted. Is.

increased activity and increased profit
during McKinley's administration as
compared with the previous low tariff Of
Cleveland's admin istration. In these
benefits the South has fully participated
and shared equally with the North. All
this progress, improvement and profit is
due mainly to the Republican protective
tariff, operating according to the fixed
gold standard.
The change of opinion among the
Southern business men in regard to the
principle Of the tariff and other funda-
mental business principles during the
present campaign has been wonderful; in
fact, quite revolutionary.
In West Virginia the feeling in favor
Of protection is very strong; in fact, the
inhabitants realize that the Republican
tariff on coal and iron has been the MAX
ing of the State. The farmers of the
State also appreciate the rise in prices
Of farm products, which they see is due
not so much to bountiful crops as to a
good market for those crops. The re-
cent tremendous increase in the foreign
demand for American coal is also appre-
ciated at It's full value by the West Vir-
ginia people, and they are fully aware
that it has been rendered possible by the
protection afforded to home products by
the Dingley tariff.
The banking house Of Hambleton &
Co. Of Baltimore, all of the members Of
which are prominent Democrats, have
come out with a circular to their clients
and correspondents all over the South,
in which they advocate the defeat of Bry-
an and the reelection Of Mckinley, on
account Of the great benefits to the South
which have accrued from the workings
Of the Republican financial and CONNER
cial policy during the last four years.
In brief, no section of the country has
had larger share Of the general pros
perity during the present administration
than the South, and it has been due main
ly to the operation Of the Republican tar
if and currency laws, as the Southern
business men now understand and ac-
knowledge. Never before in the history
Of the United States has the output of
the Southern iron ore and pig-iron, lum-
Der, coal and coke, been so large as it has
been in. the past two years; and not for
years, il ever, have the prices been so
high. Never before was SO large pro-
portion Of Southern products shipped
;srom Southern ports. Never before has
money loaned there at such low interest.
All this has occurred under the gold
standard and the protective tariff A few
years ago the South had practically no
manufactures; it has now over $780,.
100000 invested in factories, paying over
$3.50, 900, 900 in wages, and producing be-
tween ST 50O ono ON ond 60 OnO mn OOO

by Hon. N. 3. Scott, United States
Senator, Of West Virginia.)
The South is the citadel of Democracy
in this country; it has also always been
the citadel Of free trade. Twenty-Five
years ago a protectionist Southerner was
almost as rare as white blackbird. The
overthrow of the old Wing party had
practically eradicated that element of po-
litical society in that section.
But since then great change has been
gradually going on. The growth Of pro-
tectionist sentiment in the South during
the last quarter century is one of the
most important developments of recent
political history.
It is fact susceptible of ample proof
that whenever we have had a protective
tariff the whole country, North and
South, has prospered, and whenever we
have had low tariff, or practically free
trade, the country has suffered from hard
times.

try that can be named there has been
