Senator Hale is not an ad-
mirer of imperialism, although
he has not said much in pnblic
against the Mckinley imperial
policy. He made the following
remarks in the senate: 1.-The his
tory Of colonial possessions from
the days of the Romans to the
present time, is a history of
robbery, speculation, extrava-
gance, wrong doing in high
quarters. andscorruption broad
and large. I do not thinkthe ex-
amples of today are going to
show that the American people
are to be exempt from the mon
strous evils which always have
attended a colonial policy. The
jaunty way in which the Ameri-
can people have embarked in
the enterprise of colonial pos
sessions has certainly received
a rebuke in what has been seen
to happen during the last few
months"

HON. VIM. SULZER.

Extracts from What a differ
ence between now and then. "
by Hon. VIM. Sulzer, of New
York. He called the attention
of the House of Representa-
tives to the words spoken by
VIM. Mckinley, on the floor of
the House February 20, 1888.
Because of there being $50,
900, 900 Deposited with the ma
tional banks at that time he ut
tered these words: "That sur
plus money ought to be in the
treasury today. 1t is now out
among the banks held by them
they giving to the government,
bonds as security for the depos-
it and are getting the money
without interest. I charge the
president of the United States
and his administration with be-
ing responsible for this con-
dition of affairs and for what
ever congested condition we
have in the treasury and what
ever alarm prevails about the
finances of the country. Every
dollar of this money should
be paid to redeem the Gov
eminent debt"
Hon. VIM. Sulzer says: What
a difference between now and
then? What spectacle the
records presents between VIM +.

tative from Ohio in 1888 and

United Sta ties in 1900, the mere
agent of the Standard Oil trust

in the land and the greatest
menace today to the stability
of our finances and our free in

HOW TO MAKE AN UNPRO,
DUCTIVE TREE BEAR.

The plan which have follow
ed with success and without
permanent injury is girdling in
early summer time. This should
be done in June, A single cut
may be made with a knife
through the bark, entirely
around. the trunk at any con-
venient place; or, two or more
such cuts may be made. If a
ring of bark several inches wide
is peeled off entirely around the
trunk of an apple or pear tree
at this time of year, no harm
will follow, for a new bark will
soon form over the wound.
Another very good plan is to re-
move long strips of bark about
two inches wide, pointed at
both ends, and leaving spaces
of bark of about the same
width.
Any of these will cause a
checking of the flow of sap and
an unusual formation of fruit
buds instead of an excess of
wood buds. The trees of the
stone fruits are much more SEN
sative to injury and will not
safely endure such treatment as
has been described; nor do the y
usually need anything to force
them into beariug.-Prof Van
Deman, in Vick's Magazine for
June.

And take my bit of singing,
And drop it in a lonely vale

Make friends the fleeter.

I'm an instant a hush settled
o yer us-you could have heard
pin drop-as Madam Ware
c anne forward.
after careful considera-
ton, she said, we have settled
on two samplers that deserve
special mention; but, as you
know, only one can receive a
prize
She stopped and looked
over to the sofa where Patience
a nd l were seated. My breath
almost left me. so excited /
felt. Mother quietly reached
over and took my hand.
" This one" continued Mad
am-and she held mine up to
view-'presents, as you all see
a most excellent appearance on
the outside; and the prize'-'is
mine" 1 ventured to whisper, as
she hesitated a second, and l
involuntarily moved forward,
as though to receive would
have been given to the one who
worked it, Miss Rachel Winship
had sufficient care been taken
with the under side. And, as
she spoke, she turned the So m
pier over, plainly showing the
knots and loose silk ends. AS
it is, the prize has been award.
ed to her sister, Miss Patience,
whose work shows uniform care
in what wasn't expected to
show. 1t is very gratifying to
me to be able to reward such
meritorious work. "
"And you wanted it so much!"
sympathized Nan. Didn't you
feel dreadfully?"
Yes, dear; and although I
was glad for Patience" con-
tinued grandma, gravely, Il
was long time in getting over
my bitter disappointment-all
the more bitter because it was
the result of my own careless
ness. But the lesson it taught
me has lasted longer and has
helped me tar than the dainty
silk frock could possibly have
done.
GAS mother was about to
leave my room that night, after
l had gone to bed she whispered
gently: Remember, dear as in
the case of the sampler, that
whatever we make of ourselves
in life is sure to depend, in
great measure, upon the care
we pay to our little thoughtless
h abits. And, Nan, I've always
remembered it."-Adelbert F..

GRANDMOTHER SAMPLER.

"a story? Well, let me see"-
Mans head nodded approval;
Tor. when grandma began with,
-Iet me see," twas a "sure
sign" that she was recalling an
experience of her own girlhood
"a true story of long ago. AT
ter a few moments, the bright
knitting needles stopped click
ing, and fell uncomplainingly-
perhaps glad of a short breath
ing spell, who knows?-into
grandma's ample lap.
.Let-me-see; twas tifty.six
years ago-it seems but a day
to look back upon-that the
prize was offered. | had just
reached my thirteenth birthday,
and my sister Patience was two
years younger.
"There was living at that
time in the old Squire Hilton
mansion, not far from my faith,
er's, the squire's only daughter,
Madam Hilton Ware. The peo.
pie always called her Madam
because of her grave, dignified
bearing and old.time stateli.
ness. Madam Ware had always
ialen a great interest in needle
work, and her home abounded
an rich embroiderieS and choice
bits of tapestry; while one OF
her most intimate friends told
OF her having a bit of rare old
lace that was once owned by
Marie Antoinette. This she was
very proud of, and she kept il
safely locked in an ebony box
that her grandfather had
brought from over the sea-"
"Did you ever see it, grand
map" interrupted Nan.
mo, dear! 1 was little more
than a child when Madam Ware
died: and at her death all her
belongings went to a distant
relative, who lived far away il
the South.
GAS l was saying. when 1 was
thirteen, Madam Wares car
riage stopped before our door
and, seeing mother in the gar
den, Madam beCkoned her tC
the gate. In a few moments
mother came into the kitchen,
where Patience and q were
securing the tins, and told us
Madam Ware desired TO see us.
We hurriedly dried our hands
aud with considerable degree
of awe followed our mother out
to the carriage.
"After greeting US with a
stately bow, she explained to
as the object of her visit. To
arouse an interest in needle
work, she intended to offer a
prize to the girl in our neigh,
borhood who, under fifteen,
worked the best sampler, which
must be completed within four
weeks. The prize was to be a
dress pattern of beautiful OrI
entail silk. My heart almost
bounded in my mouth at the

be the Su CCeSS1ul one, dnu get
what l had always wanted-a
real silk frock.'
"Did you get it, grandma?"
asked Nan, eagerly. "Wait,
child; 1 haven't finished my
story" remarked her grand
mother, quietly. Then, resum-
ing: Before Madam Ware
drove away that morning, she
left Patience and l enough
mate rial for our samplers-even
to the needles to work them
with. She gave us our direc-
tions, and told US that four
weeks from that day all the
girls were to assemble, with
their mothers, at her home,
where the samplers were to be
exam ined and the prize award
ed.
Every spare moment we
could get after this we spent
on our samplers, and l suspect
we often let our mother do more
than her share of the work dur.
ing tho Sc four busy weeks. At
the end of the second week l
had the entire border of my
sampler done, and about one
half of the letters; while Pa
thence was steadily working on
the third side of her border
I'm afraid you're hurrying
too much, cautioned mother,
as she examined my work one
afternoon. Twas all she said;
for our mothers were charged
to make no suggestions and to
offer no aid. / saw mother
looked troubled when she ex-
amined the underside of my
work; for I had left a number
of loose silk ends and good
many unsightly knots. Mother
had always trained us to do our
work we'll; but I was in a hurry
to see my sampler completed,
and so was careless about the
little things, that seemed to me
of no account.
"At last the eventful day ar
rived; and, dressed in our Sun
day trocks and ll,starched
sunbonnets, we started on foot
Gather had to use the horse to
go to mill that day. to Madam
Wares. Patience and 1 had
our samplers carefully folded
up in clean white linen; and l
can now see Madam's look OF
approval, as, with childish
courtesy, we handed them to
her.
"All the little girls in the
neigh borhood were there. and
one could plainly see by their
restlessness and furtive glances
toward Madam Ware how anx-
ious each one was. And no
wonder! For a silk dress in
those days was something al
most beyond a young girls
dreams even.
1.-The excitement was greatly
increased when Madam Ware
and two lady friends, who we're
visiting her, went into the back
parlor, where our needlework
had been arranged for inspec-
ton. Many little girls neck
was strained that just tiny
peep might be taken through
the partly cl osed door.

DEFEATED A BAD MEASURE.

The drastic and undemocratIc meas
ure designated The Child Labor Bill
was defea' ed in the House of Repre-
sentatives by vote of Sc to 104. This
bill originated in the brainless, corrupt
Uranium of the agitator, &C. Houston,
of Atlanta, whose sole object is to stir
up strife in the peaceful labor districts
of the South, thus bringing on strikes
and discord so that he and his kind, the
self constituted leaders, may profit
both pecuniarily and politically.
The T1mes-Recorder congratulates the
gentlemen who voted against the bill
There were several well know and pro-
minent members who voted with the
minority. They certainly are ignorant
of the slow but steady methods of an
archists, or they would never have let a
supposed sentiment carry their infu-
ence and vote for such dangerous leg
Islation. Parents generally, though
they may be poor, can be depended up
on to dominate and to seek to regulate
the household of the honest, peaceful
laborers of this christian southland.

The fund for the erection at Mem.
phis, Tenn, of a monument to Gen. n
Is. Forrest, the distinguished Confeder.
ate cavalryman, is growing rapidly.
The Confederate camps in many parts
Of the South are making liberal contri-
buttons, aud, as there are 5000 camps,
small contribution from each would
secure large fund. This would also
make it Southern rather than q
Memphis affair." Memphis was General
Forests home during most of his life,
but he belongs to the entire South, as
his reputation as a gallant and brilliant
soldier was earned on battlefelds in
many Southern States.
