onr Trade Expansion.

A series of special articles recently
appearing i'll the London Times, adj
dressed to the British manufacturers,
calls attention to the increasing exports
of American products, especially to
Great Britain and her colonies. The
Times considers the matter one Of
grave Importance, and it is not in En-
gland only that our increasing export
trade causes comment. Continental pa
pcrs have treated the matter With in
terest and alarm. y recent shipment
of manufactured goods to Australia, the
largest yer sem to that part of the
world from the United States, indi-
Gated the kind of articles that consti-
tute these increased exports. The cargo
consisted of sewing machines, musical
instruments, vehicles. tTpewriters, troll
ley appliances and shoes. Another large
shipment recently made was seventeen
carloads of cotton goods from an Ala
bama mill to China. Europe evidently
doesn't like IL expansion.

THE coMMoDoREs CUE.

In the early days of steamboating on the Ohio river they had only stern wheel boats, and old Commodore Me Culough. of Cincinnati, conceived a scheme to build and launch a palace side wheeler" which would be grace of her beauty and size run the stern- wheelers out of the trade"
 He carried his ideas to a successful and beautiful finish, and sent her on her initial trip and she came back eight hundred dollars loser The natives along the river would not ship on her, nor would they ride on her, nor trust their live stock on her. They couldn't see the wheel go round"
 So the Flora Belle made trip after trip, burning from eight hundred to a thousand dollars worth of coal and taking in perhaps two hundred dollars The newspapers took it up and it was street talk about what a frost" the Flora Belle was. Everybody from banker to bootblack knew the tale. At this time the old National Theater on sycamore street was the bon ton thea Ire of Cincinnati and it's gallant men and lovely women thronged the per- formances. One night the commodore attended and as he entered there was a series of nudgings and whisperings
 There's the commodore. There's the owner of Flora Belle"
 The play was one of those Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl" dramas, with "hyperbole" heroine, and there was one scene in which the lover pro- posed marriage.
 No, said the heroine, "I can never be your wife, Harold. You are wealthy, you are millionaire, while I am only q poor sewing girl. If I marry you all my friends will say it was for your money and l love you, darling, for yourself. Get rid of your money, my darling, and will be your wtfe." And she made her exit in tears
 The lover walked up and down the stage Wrinsing his hands
 How, he cried, "how can I win her? How can l get rid of my money?"
 That was the old commodore's cue. He rose up in the center of the par quette and shouted:
 Buy the Flora Belle!"-Denver Times.
