When Mr.. Gallup sat down for the
evening. he had his newspaper on his
knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing
Rock Of Ages" and clearing away the
supper table. He had been reading for
o quarter of an hour when she quietly
entered and sat down and said:
Samuel, / don't want to disturb you

ed. to ask you few questions. Last
night at midnight Mrs. Watkins saw
light moving around in our back yaro.
It was a light which bobbed up and

that, and when it finally went out it
gave a great wink and splutter. 1t

Mr.. Gallup must have known of her
presence, but he was too deeply inter
ested in his paper to recognize it. He
had found an article which said that

four hours and then come out with his
ambition undaunted.

America's Great Future--A Free Trade
 Tendency Seen.

London, Sept. 6.-Presfdent McKin- ley's speech at the PanAmerican ex- position at Buffalo yesterday is the theme of much comment in the London papers to-day.
 Tt will excite throughout Europe" says the Standard. "as keen interest as it will arouse in the western conti- nent. It is the utterance of a man who feels that he is at the hand of great nation with vast ambitions and new born consciousness of strength
 America has become an imperial power. Her national life is no longer elf-contained and introspective. Heed less of scoffers at spread eagleism, the United States will go their way regard less of attempted combination such as Count Gouluchowski has sketched and with a certain carelessness whether or no they come into violent conflict with any European power"
 The Morning Post uses the speech as a text from which to urge the necessity resting upon Great Britain to redouble her efforts to maintain her trade su- premacy.
 The Daily Chronicle says: "The free trade tendency of the speech under the name of reciprocity outweights in inn portance all the presidents remarks about kinship the canal and the like"

PROTEST MADE TO N. Y. r. c.
No Right to Bar Independencc-In- junction to be Asked if L,pton Wins.

New York, Sept 5.-A special to the World from Boston says: Thomas w. Farnsworth, as chairman of the fifty American citizens, has sent a letter to the New York Yacht club protesting against the right of that organization to exclude the Independence from en- tering the trial races, and threatening, in the event of the Shamrock II. lift ing the cup to ask an injunction from the United States court to prevent the club from turning over the cup to Sir Thomas Lipton.
 The letter declares that when the cup was brought to this country fifty years ago, any American citizen had the right to enter the yacht races. Mir. Earns worth says the letter is not written in behalf of Mir. Lawson. but simply as matter of principle and to deny the New York Yacht clubs claim that to enter his boat a man must be a mem- Der of that club. The letter states that Sir Thomas Upton has been notified of the intention of the Boston committee.

 Propositions are the timekeepers of progress. They record the worlds ad- vancement. They stimulate the ener- gy, enterprise and intellect of the peo- pie, and quicken human genius. They go into the home. They broaden and brighten the daily life of the people, They open mighty storehouses of in formation to the student. Every expo sition, great or small, has helped to some onward step. Comparison of ideas is always educational, and such instructs the brain and hand of men.
