TURNED THE TABLES.
The Surprise wns For She Who Had
pianucd TO Surprise.


That surprises do not always sur
prise those for whom they are intended
Is one Of the peculiar things about sur.
prises, and this fact was well Illus
trated one day this week In an east end
house. The lady of the house received
word from a friend that she was com.
Ing out the next day for lunch. Now.
II happened that the next day was the
day ON which the servant girl had her
day of. and the lady of the house made
up her mind that she would surprise
her friend by getting up nice lunch
prepared by herself. for she had the
reputation when they were young Ia.
dies Of not being able to cook. while
her friend had the reputation Of being
an excellent cook.
The day her friend was expected the
lady went to market and laid In a sup
ply Of all the good things which go to
make up fine lunch. She went home
and lighted the fire and prepared for
the cooking. Just then she discovered
that she had forgotten to get some
fruit and told her young daughter to
tell her friend when tile latter came
that she would be back In few mo-
ments. She went to the store and.
meeting some Of her friends, staid quite
awhile. forgetting how time was flying.
In the meantime the friend arrived.
and. being told that her hostess would
soon be home, she went into the kitch-
en-. and. seeing the good things there.
she went to work and cooked and pre-
pared the lunch. When the lady OF the
house arrived home. she was astonish-
ed to see the table set and n most mp.
petizing lunch on the table. The sur
prise she had intended for her friend
was surprise for her. - Plttsburg

PORTO RICO NO PRECEDENT.

Washington, April 18.--What Porto
Is in reality today we know
what 1t may become ten or twenty
years from now, under the influence OF
American capital and enterprise, we
can only conjecture. Cotton may be
grown there, and cotton manufacturing
might become large industry. With
cheap island labor, the product OF our
own Northern and Southern mills could
thus be undersold. Would 1t he right
to expose the agricultural and indus
trial interests of the United States to
such competition? II the principle OF
a tariff be not now maintained, 1t
might be difficult, II not impossible, to
impose one hereafter, II it should thus
become necessary. Then the Republic
can party would be blamed, and Justly
so. for its neglect to protect the inter-
ests Of American citizens on the Main
land, and for its lack Of forethought.
It may be that the sugar yield there
may grow to such an extent as to cur
tail tho available market area for our
growing beet industry. The same may
be true Of tobacco, Of vegetables, OF
oranges, Of rice, of hides, Of hemp, and
other products. 1t Is not claimed that
there Is danger today. But that there
us strong probability Of danger to
american Industries through the estab-
flishment of free trade relations with
Porto Rico, as q precedent for our poll
'cy in dealing with all our outlying
possessions, no one can deny, after
having given the subject careful inves-
tigation. What applies to Porto Rico
might be held to apply equally to 9TH
er possessions, and who can say what
may develop in that much larger and
equally fertile area in the East, with
its abundance of cheap labor.
This Is what we must guard against.
without q precedent, and the estab-
.lished right to impose tariff upon
any OF the products Of our island pos
sessions, the United States may In
years to come feel the effect OF such
lack of legislation to very serious de-
gree.
BY the adoption of this legislation,
future protection will be possible to
American interests in case 1t be need
ed against that source, or against the
Philippines, or against the Danish
West Indies, should we acquire them, or
any outlying possessions.
An ounce of prevention Is worth a
pound Of cure, and 1t Is best not to
AZ a precedent that will abolish a.
right which maintains our national
policy. Moreover, the Republican
party will not be committed to the
policy of free trade as is so earnestly
desired by the Democrats.

HIS VISIT TO vESUVlUS.

Of interest would bring down no end of

sufficient unto the day is the evil there

searching question, but SO well did he
know his mes that never once did she
catch him mapping. At last, after n
realistic account of how, after leaving

the crater's very edge, the American
paused for breath.
