1t is a curious coincidence that on
Feb "a. 1882, and on Feb. 81, 1902, q
secretary of state of a murdered Presi-
dent delivered a eulogy of his dead
chief before the houses OF Congress.
Mr. Hay is primarily a writer. Blaine
was first of all speaker. It is inter-

Here is the conclusion of the euolgy Of
Mckinley:
There is not one of us but feels
prouder of his native land because the
august figure of Washington presided
over its beginnings; no one but vows
1t tenderer love because Lincoln
poured out his blood for it.: no one
but must feel his devotion for his
country renewed and kindled when he
remembers how Mckinley loved, rev.
cred and served it, showed in his life
how citizen should live. and in his
last hour taught us how a gentleman

Animals.


OF all the animals that pass the win
ter months in sleep, the most inter-
esting is the bear. When he decides to
begin his long nap, he selects nice
sheltered place where the snow will
blow in. Not right under the falling
flakes does he lie, but in crevice of
rock, and here the snow drifts in and
covers him, and Bruno sleeps on, his
breath keeping the space open around
his nose and clearing an air passage
through the drifts.
The badger goes to sleep for long
time during the cold months. He nj
bernates. And SO does the hedgehog,
the porcupine and the dormouse. The
porcupine sleeps SO soundly that you
can pull out his quilts and he will not
rouse, and you can stand him upon his
feet and turn those quilts any way
without making him fretful. His head
will droop, his legs will double under
him, but he will continue asleep. The
only way you can waken him is with

A clergyman, member of the fac

south, was accustomed to going
around visiting among the country
folks to talk and pray with them. and
encourage them all he could. There
was, one very poor ''sister" on whom
he called one day, and asked how she
was getting along.
'POo1y-very poo'ly sub, I'm all
dwindled down to nothin'! Hard times

she replied, shaking her head and
drawing her thin lips tighter.

with your work. Perhaps-I'm afraid
you are weak sister," ventured the
spiritual adviser.

Even the most cynical among Free

among the promoters of the Cuban

An agricultural manufacturing indus

from 1900 to 185, 900 tons of sugar,
and which for the current year is pre-
pairing to erect SO additional plants in
IS states and l territory, at an outlay
OF $500, 900 of capital, with a sugar
beet purchasing capacity of s14, zoe, 900
a year, is a proposition of some magni-
tude. 1t presents integral factors
worth reckoning with. Among other
things, there are 1T representatives
in Congress to be elected this year
from these States. and two years hence
these States will choose 213 Presi-
Dental electors. Certainly there is
enough in the situation as disclosed
by the statistics of the Department of
Agriculture to make some people stop
and think whether it is safe to brush
aside the domestic sugar industry as if
it were of no sort of consequence
whether it live or die as the result of
being knocked on the head with a Free
Trade hammer. The figures presented
by Mr.. Saylor would seem to indicate
that 1T is of very serious consequence
to many people in many States of the
union.

Just in time to arrest the attention
of those who are preparing to sacrlfce
an important domestic agricultural and
manufacturing industry comes an in
teresting statement by c. F. Saylor,
the special agent of the Department of
Agricultural in charge of beet sugar
investigations. From among the ma

nual report Mr.. Saylor has given out
the following figures regarding the in
dustry during the past year.
The total production of beet sugar in
the United States in the season 1902
mas aggregated $4,000 tons, an in
crease of lao per cent from the 1900
tons produced during the season
190O-1-
There were thirty-one factories In
operation in 1900, according to the CEN
sus figures, and eleven more were
started in 1901.
There are nine factories in course of
construction for operation in 1902. as
follows: Sebewang, Carrollton, Mount
Clemens and Croswell, Mich, Shelby,
Ind; Greedy, Eaton and Fort Collins,
Col. and Phoenix, Ariz-, ranging in ca
pacity of daily output from 500 tons to
1000, the latter figure being the ca
pacity at the Phoenix plant.
