 When Miss Jerusha's valentine came down again it looked very much the same outside-but inside! Dick and Dorry smiled every time they looked at each other, and had hard work to keep straight faces when it was handed over to q neighbor who passed Miss Jerushy's rickety little house on his way home.
 "l shall tell that sneak what we've done, SO as not to have any more un- derhand work, and then I'll never speak to him again, announced Dick, tall with righteous indignation.
 When the valentine was given into her worn old hands Miss Jerushy was too much astonished to speak. Such thing hadn't happened to her for 40 years. She stood looking at it with an utterly bewildered expression till the bearer vanished in the darkness, while the sleet beat against her thin face and settled on her gray hair. She did not feel it.
 Jack Stacey was decidedly uncom- fortable He wasn't the sort of boy who does smart" things as a rule. Some friend" with a defective sense of humor had slipped the thing into his hand that day; and, struck by a certain unfortunate resemblance be- tween the caricature and Miss Je rushy, he had addressed it to her and mailed it on the spur of the moment. As soon as it was mailed he stopped to think. That was the trouble with Jack He acted first and thought aft erward which frequently resulted in great discomfort and embarrassment to himself and his friends. About eight o'clock that evening he threw his geography aside, and, going to the kitchen, donned rubber boots and coat.
 "Why, Jack, not going out to- night, l hope!" exclaimed his mother.

An Indication

We may be mistaken in our guess
but to US, one of the best indications
that the Republicans will carry the
state is the fact that all the Demo-
Gratis have left the senatorial race to
w. J. Stone. There is a large elc-
ment of the Democracy that don,
want Stone and they don't intend
10 have him. This elernen, ma,
not vote for the Republicans, but
election day will be to them an ex-
celIeni time TO 60 hunting or fishing.
Sometimes men Will not become
a candidate against another because
they recognize the justice Of his
claim 10 a nomination by his party,
or there IS a manifest public rea-
son for il, but when you see bali a
score OF candidates come out Tor an
Office that looks like a sur thing for
the fellow that gets the domination,
and after feeling around and prob
ing about for a spell, you find first

We fail to see anything in the
contest in congress over the Cuban
concession that tends to break down
the protectionist tariff theory. Ii
every pound Of sugar produced in
Cuba was dumped at once upon
the markets Of the United States
free of duty, it would not affect the
sugar industry forty-eight hours.
To read the speeches against the
Cuban concession, one would be
lead to imagine the island of Cuba
was as big IS Brazil, and that the
people did nothing but raise sugar.
As we are informed Cuba is a very
small portion of the sugar produc-
ing surface of the earth and doesn't
produce a tenth part of the sugar of
the world. This looks very much
70 us like a Dalrymple wheat farm
er fearing the competition of a forty
acre knob wheat farmer IN the mar
kets for the sale of their wheat.
Better let the friends of protection
change our tariff laws than take the
