The reason Southern women have
such deliciously soft voices may be
traced to the Difference of the men.
Southern men look upon their women
as angels. When Southern mans
wife or daughter begins to talk she
doesn't have to yell for the purpose OF
attracting his attention or getting
him to stop his story and give her a
chance. When Southern woman
speaks the Southern man is silent and
attentive. He listens to her woods as
if they were honey dropping to his
lips. This attitude of respect upon
the part of the man to the woman,
which seems TO be universal through
out the South, makes the Southern
woman the, delightful, sweet-voiced
creature that she is.

.RITZvILLE, OCTOBER 9, 1901.

Autumn is here. She may not
show much yet, but she has really
arrived. II Autumn stood alone she
would be the finest season OF the year,
but she is SO suggestive OF chilly winter
who stands right back OF her, that
she sometimes makes us SILVER. She
starts in easy-a chilly night, then a
heavy frost, cold rain and a light
snow; then she steps back and Winter
stalks to the front with the north
wind blowing through his whiskers.
Autumn is an inspiring but tickle
maid. She is with us during corn
husking, potato digging and hop
picking. She inspires us to hard
pork, but sometimes deserts us before
the job is finished. She gets chilly
sometimes when we need her warmth
She gives us frost when we would
desire warm smile, but she is al
right and tempers us to winters chilly
blasts, so we are hard to freeze out.

When man pays his taxes and
what he gets in return is figured out
in this manner by one of our en-
changes. A man with $1,000 worth
Of property is likely to pay from $40

in town, he gets the service of the po-

BASED ON THE SAME FACTS.

Champ Clark, the ready-witted con-
gresham from Missouri. in one of his
famous cloak-room stories, relates the
following:
Col. Berry tells with great glee a story
about Hon Robert Adams Jr., of Penn
sylvania. and Hen: James A Tawneyy;;
of Minnesota, which recalls the well
known couplet:
Two souls with but single thought, two
hearts that beat as one.
When" says Col. Berry. the resolu-
ton was pending to annex the Hawaiian
islands, among those who loaded up to
make speeches in favor of it were Mr..
Adams. of Pennsylvania, and Mr.. law
ney of Minnesota. In securing material
for their arguments each one consulted
the Hawaiian minister at Washington,
who was an ardent anneXationist Meth
err Tawney nor Adams knew that the
other had been coached by that illustri-
Gus diplomat. Not unnaturally he had
to each, and not unnaturally each had
deftly woven them into his own speech,
blissfully ignorant that the other was
doing the very same thing.
cit so happened that they were both
scheduled to speak on the same day
Both had had their speeches set up In
the government printing office prior to
the delivery in order to place advance
copies where they would do the most
good. Tawney got the floor first and be-
gan to read his speech. AS he proceeded
so many passages sounded famlllar 10
the ears of Adams that at last the dis
agreeable truth dawned upon his mind
that the Hawaiian minister had furnish
ed the same material to both himself
and Tawney and that the latter was
using it for all it was worth. He said
to a friend in the lobby: What will L
do? Tawney is making my speech al
most word for word, and mine is already
in type and will appear In the RECORD
tomorrow, What shall I do?' Col. Berry
did not vouch to his auditors what was
done; but as when the two speeches APP
peared in the Record they We're not
much alike it is clear that Brother Ad-
ans or Brother Tawney -rewrote ms

wholesome Admission.

Willmar Tribune
Behind the scenes at Washington there
is an interesting struggle going on, the
contest being waged between the sugar
trust and the iron and steel combine over
the tariff complications with Russia. 1t
is said that the imposition of a heavy
tariff duty on the 100000 worth of sugar
annually imported from Russia was done
at the instigation of the sugar trust The
Russians resented the action of our gov
eminent and retalated by imposing a
heavy special duty upon the $11 C00,000
worth of iron and steel which this coun-
try sends them each year. Of course the
iron and steel combine are up In arms
over the matter and demand that the
extra duty on sugar be abolished so that
Russia may not impose the 30 per cent
duty on all iron and steel Imported from
this country When decision is reach
ed, the question of which of the two
giant monopolies have the greatest DO
litical pull will be settled-Morris Sun
(Rep).
1t is refreshing to hear a Republican
paper confess that the trusts ontrol the
government, and that it is only n ques-
ton as to which trust has the s<re Attest
political pull 1t is what the PoNulists
have claimed all the time, but Gu ing
the last campaign the Republican par er5
claimed that their party was the only
one that could be relied upon to legis-
late against the trusts. If the Republican
papers were as bold in telling the truth
during a campaign as they are In an off
year the trusts would not find it such
an easy task to dominate the party"

At THE THEATERS.
~~~~~~~~~~o~~>
METROPOLITAN.

The negro refugee was dead. To the ac-
compartment of red light and SILVER mu-
sic, his head pillowed upon the knee of
his weering mother, and surrounded by
a wlnite-faced, awe-stricNen throng, he
had breathed his last in full view of the
audience. Not a man or woman in the
theater ever dreamed of seeing him again
Then, in response to an iIlsistent call
that comes from all parts of the house,
the curtain slowly rose, and the people
of the play trooped, one by one, across
the stage, disappearing through the
doorway of the mimic grocery at the
right. AS they passed. there was
continuous ovation, each being received
with renewed applause. Bringing up the
procession was the black man who had
died a few minutes before, erect, vigor-
Gus, smiling, and apparently enjoying
tended to tell him he had done well.
Whether he did not know that he had
ruined what was really a most affecting
climax and dispelfed the illusion Of the
remainder of the play by his Grass ac-
ton, or whether the love of applause
and a personal vanity overshadowed his
artistic sense can, only be conjectured.
Certain it is thatsn amount of calling
would ever haXe Brought Richard Mans
field to the center of the stage after such
a scene. But then, Mansfield is an artist
who subordinates everything else to his
art.
If it Is urged that this is criticism of
the carping kind, the answer is that SO
fragrant a violation of the proprieties
can scarcely be allowed to go unnoticed.
If there is anything that tends to make
a theatergoer disguised it is the appear
