every advantage to the skill, energy
and intelligence of our farmers, mer-

in dealing with other nations, that

HIS FAVORITE POLICY
THE BUFFALO SPEECH NOT 4 NEW
DEPARTURE.
william Mckinley Had Been an Earnest
and Persistent Advocate of the Right
Sort of Reciprocity for the Past
Eleven Years.

Mr. McK.nley's speech at Buffalo
had barely ceased when some papers
began to misrepresent it, the purpose
being to make it appear that the Pres
ident had changed his views and was
no longer in line with the economic
faith of his party, but was urging to
ward the opposite belief. Here is an
example:
The name of President Mckinley
was given to the highest tariff this
country has ever known, the tariff that
was repealed by the Democratic con-
gress of 1884 Mckinley being the
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee that reported the bill. That
was the high water mark of tariff leg
islation. There was no thought of
reciprocity then except such arrange
ments as might be made with the
South American states. T2is was Mr..
Blaine's idea, and it was not favored
by the party and formed no part of its
policy.
President Mckinley in his speech
fully committed himself to reciprocity,
which means tariff reduction and free
trade in special cases. We are to
grant trade advantages in considera-
ton of reciprocal advantages. The
scheme is not new, since all nations
practice it, and since, a so, we have
already negotiated several such treat
les. The president would, however,
make It the general policy of our gov
eminent.
eff such a policy is inaugurated and
carried out there will be material tar
if reductions. A reciprocity treaty
with Germany, after that nation shall
have stiffened it's tariff laws in accord
ance with the rates proposed, will

Mrs. Cora Dibert, woman of AL
toona, Pa, escaped death by one inch
of water the other day. She was
pumping water when the platform on
which she was standing collapsed and
she dropped to the bottom of the well.
She was just able to keep her head
above water by standing on her tip
toes. When unable to stand longer
she covered her mouth and nose with
one hand and went under for as long
as she could hold her breath. Her oc-
casional shouts were finally heard and
she was rescued just in the nick OF
time. She says that one more dip I'M

D1MINUrIvE WAR HEROES.

Military experts generally of late
have been recognizing as important
the fact that some of the greatest mil
itary achievements in history have
been made by men of small stature,
notably among these diminutive he
roes being Alexander and Napoleon,
while in our own history Generals
Sheridan, Wheeler and Funston have
been less remarkable for their inches
than for their pluck. 1t is doubtful
whether some of the greatest men in
army history could have got into the
service if the height now demanded of
enlisted men had been test for them
to pass The world-conquering Wag-
ram and Moscow, were little fellows,
not one in 10 of whom would have had
a chance to enlist in an American or
British regiment; but they knew their
business, and the more stalwart war
riors of Austria and Prussia could
not stand before them. No restric-
lions being placed on officers as to
heighth, the little men have had to
look for their vindication to the men
who wear swords. The time may come
when the rifle carriers also will be able
to prove the truth of the old saying
that you can't tell by the length of
his legs how far q frog can jump In
fact, CIV regulations lowering the linn
itations as to the heighth of recruits
have already been favorably consid-
cred by the army leaders of several
nations.

Comets of a Century.

During the nineteenth century z35
lew comets were discovered, as
against sixty-two in the eighteenth
century. The nineteenth century also
beheld greater number of large and
brilliant comets than did its predeces-
sor. The finest of these were the
comets of 1911, 1843, 1858, 1881 and
1882. In the year 1900 only one peri
odica1 comet was known, Halley's;
now many are known, of which at
least seventeen have been seen at
more than one return to periheliou.

The statistician of the Department
of Agriculture has lately returned from
a trip to Europe undertaken for the
purpose of arranging with the Euro
pean governments for an Interchange
of crop reports with the United States.
The negotiations were successful, and
it is expected that the plan will be In
operation next autumn. The step is a
very important one. Heretofore this
country has had to depend upon prt-
vate sources for information of foreign
crops, which was always incomplete
and sometimes inaccurate. The value
of such reports to the American farm
er is considerable, since the prices OF
American farm products are largely In
huenced by foreign crops.

Frederick Ring, awaiting trial for

who is known as a desperate, had re-

After she had gone Ring wrote a long

fessed to having committed murder
in South Jersey about two years ago.
Since then, he declared, the fear of ar

1t is quite possible that ignorance

One can accomplish much in forty
years, remarked Professor Haeckel, the
scientist, in whose library at Jena is
a good-sized case filed with his own
works. His vocation has demanded
the labor which most men would deem
a full measure of toll, while his avo-
cations have revealed a capacity for
work of a remarkable character. 1t is
said that he has a collection of more
than two thousand of his own paint
ings, mostly water colors, besides thou
sands of other sketches in ink, crayon
and pencil. Dividing men into pro-
ducers and non-producers, it is not diff
ficuit to say to which class Haockel

He is tramping out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He has Ioosed the fatal lightning of
His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on
have seen Him in the watchfires of
a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the
evening dews and damps;
1 have read His righteous sentence by
the dim and fiaring lamps;
His day is marching on
1 have read a fiery gospel writ in bur-
nfshed rows of steel;
AS We deal with my contemners, so
with you my grace shall deal;
Let the hero, born of woman, crush
the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men
before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him;
be jubilant my feet,
Our God is marching on.

HE SERVED GEN. JACKSON.

A picturesque character of the South
recently passed away in Alfred Jack
son, the body servant of President An
drew Jackson. He was Sc years old
and his death removes the last of the
family Of servants of the celebrated
Hermitage under it's first master The
reputation of Uncle Alfred" as he
was known to thousands, is national
For years he had been the most inter-
esting figure at the Hermitage, where
he had lived almost a century. He
was born on the Hermitage farm soon
after General Jackson made that beau
tiful spot his home. When the civil
war broke out he and his wife, Gracey,
alone of all the servants stayed with
their mistress, never leaving the place
for an hour. in the lifetime OF Gen
eral Jackson the old darby was one
of his most favored servants and when
the great man passed away, Alfred
was at his bedside. His chief char
acteristfc was always his extreme 10y
atty to General Jackson. Other men
attained to some sort of reputation,
but none, to him, ever reached the
generals pinnacle of fame. When AL
fred was presented to ex-President
Rutherford B. Hayes he merely said:
EFF you had been as great a man as
Ginral Jackson 1 could most shake
yo' hand off, The old servants great
est desire was to be buried in the
garden near the last resting place of
his former master, his ideal of all
greatness, and he has his wish. He
has been buried just north of the
tomb of General Jackson, the Ladies'

said that he had escaped with the nag,
which he loved too well to permit him
to live again under the United States

isolated life for years, dying three
years ago and leaving his flag to his
native friend, with the Injunction that
he never part with it, Captain Schuy-
Ter finally got the natives permission
to examine the dead Americans eff
fe~ss- He found papers and diaries
indi eating that the ex-Confederate was
Henry Clay Renfrew, member of

cavalry, or both, in the Confederate
army. In some places he referred to
Captain John. B. Castleman as his
captain; IN others to Colonel Henry
Giltner and Captain Bart Jenkins as
his colonel and captain respectively.
He wrote of Bernard Bayless and Dali
las Mosgrove as his chums. In one of
the diaries Renfrew referred at length
to the last days of the Confederacy.
Then followed the statement that he
was with the last body of organized
Confederate soldiers that escorted JEFF
ferson Davis, General Duke command
ing. and that when Dukes surrender
was agreed upon the writer took the
flag from the staff, concealed it about
his body and escaped, with the inten-
ton of taking the flag to soma foreign
