he KNEW TOO MUCH.
nstroas Eject of Assuming
Too Much Wisdom.

A young man employed in an oyster
shop has lost his situation, and this
because he gave prompt answer to
his employers eager question, relates
the London Chronicle. The employer
had six lively little land turtles, which
attracted much attention as they
wandered aimlessly about the win
dows. He painted a large white let
ter on the back of each of the shells,
and put up notice to the effect that,
whenever the turtles got into such
relative positions that the letters
spelled oyster" he would present
half a dozen natives to every one who
was looking on.
Then he became frightened lest the
mystic word should occur too often,
and covered reams of paper figuring
out the odds. He gave it up at last,
and was about to remove the turtles
when his most accomplished oyster
opener informed him that the odds
were 700 to against the combination.
The turtles are still in the window,
but the oyster opener has gone. Such
knowledge of odds, the employer,
thought, could have been acquired
only by years of betting experience.
1t is not wise to be too wise.

A NEW PARTY.
Conference at Cincinnati Results in
Launching the National Lib

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 27.-The nation
al liberal party was organized here
Sunday by representatives from all
parts of the country. The preamble
to the new constitution, that was
adopted, declares for the separation
of church and state to the extent of
abolishing chaplains in the army and
navy, legislative bodies and all pub
lie institutions, the taxation of
church property and abandonment of
Sabbath observances. The national
liberal party is the amalgamation for
political purposes of free thinkers,
and it is more distinctly in politics
than the American Secular union.

at Buffalo last October, with Il. j.
Bowles, of Muncie, Ind, as president
and w. f. Jamison, of Cincinnati, as
secretary, and in charge of the ma
tional convention Sunday, but new
officers will be elected to-day. The
free love element was not admitted
into the new organization, but the

A strange idea leapt into his mind,
followed by recollection of the fact
that he had noted with surprise when
he put the ring on Polly's finger that
her hand was plump and firm. He
walked lack hastily, with no very
definite thought in his head.
He found the garden, gate open,
and walked quickly through 1t and up
the 80 yards of pathway. No sooner
had he reached the point where tho
path ran to the left than he heard q
sound of laughter, and saw through
the French window of the gal den
room that a merry party was taking
place. He ran across the lawn and
for a moment was unobserved.
There was Polly, looking the picture
of health, sitting on the corner of a
table in dressing gown and smoking
a cigarette; near her was Rollit, next
to whom sat the doctor, minus spec
tacles and beard-the duke recog-
nized him ut once as a burlesque ac-
tor; into the bargain were two Choir Us
girls from q variety theater, and sev-
oAoh ohohPu6hC ooe1iSo "SiC oeohuth6
about.
He burst into the room violently,
and with the utmost vehemence and
scorn asked: "Don't you think /
might have been invited to my own
wedding breakfast?"
The chorus girl shrieked, the sham
doctor swore, Rollit quailed, but Pol
ly stood up to him.
"It's legal enough, my lord, for the
law is such fool as not to dissolve a
marriage even il there is trickery in
it, and it serves you right for being a
cur; and yet, Charlie" and her voice
softened, 81 never meant you to find
out that it was a trick. Get out of
here all of you" she said fiercely to
the jewellers, and they skunk away.
The duke stood silent. "Charlie, I
was always fond of you, and am. We
are now man and wife; let's make the
best of it. A little money will make
these creatures hold their tongues;
people will think it was fine thing
of you, even if foolish, to give your
coronet to what you thought dying
girl, and they won't suppose it was
your fault that cheated the under
taker. Come, let's be friends" and
she took hold of his hands and lifted
up her face toward his. The young
man roughly flung away her hands,
and, looking at her sternly, said:
maybe, the law will not set me
free, so you will have the title OF
duchess, if title without honor pleases
you, and such money as the law COM
pels; but we never meet again."
And as he passed out of the room,
he heard her shouting, "Come back,
girls! Let's drink to the dukes de-
parture."-London Sketch.

AS TO THE SUGAR TARIFF.
Noteworthy Feature of the situatios
IL Explosion OF the ANTI
Tariff Theory.

The status of the controversy over
the question whether the tariff on Gu
ban sugar should be reduced by this
government may be briefly described as
follows, says the Albany Journal:
Opposed to the tariff-re duction prop
osition are the men who are interested
in the American beet-sugar industry.
Their contention is that their business
would be detrimentally, even ruinous-
ly, affected by the importation Of Gu
ban raw sugar, which, with part of the
duty taken off, could be set down in
this country at price below that at
which it is profitable to produce beet
sugar.
In favor Of the proposed tariff re-
ductioh are:
First, the Cuban sugar planters who
declare that they cannot profitably dis
pose of their product unless the United
States government admits It to the
markets of this country under more
favorable terms, and that consequently
they will suffer loss directly and Cuba
as whole will suffer indirectly, since
the islands prosperity depends to a
considerable extent upon the develop
ment of it's sugar industry. The plant
ers are naturally backed by the Cuban
people at large.
Second, large part of the people OF
the United States, who hold that it is
this country's duty to assist Cuba in
its efforts to develop it's resources and
to become prosperous as well as indie
pendent
Third, the American sugar-cane re-
fining interests, whose representatives
representations the unspoken reasons
for their attitude may be, that a con-
siderable tariff on Cuban sugar is un-
necessary for the proper protection of
any American interests, and declare
thai reduction OF the present tariff
would be advantageous to the con-
sumner in that it would effect per-
manent reduction in the price of re-
fined sugar.
The essential question to be consid-
cred is whether IL is an indisputable
fact that reasonable reduction Of the
duty on Cuban sugar must necessarily
have the effect Of gripping the Amer
lean beet sugar industry and ultimate
ly destroying it.
A noteworthy feature of the situa-
tion is the utter inability of the man
whose pet argument is that the tariff
should be taken from all articles made
by trusts, in order to bring the trusts
to terms and under subsection, to ap-
ply in this case. The stand taken by
the American Sugar Refining company
and kindred interests, by the side Of
those who lead in the effort to secure
this tariff reduction. leaves that indi-
vidual to wonder vaguely how he ever
came to believe his argument to be
good and even incontrovertible.

The Climax.

They were young and romantic, and
although the minute hand was point
ing to ~ o'clock, they stood upon the
porch gazing at the stars.
That's Jupiter, dear, isn't it?" she
murmured.
"Yes, pet; and that is Sirius" he re-
piled, pointing to another star.
"Are you serious?" she cooed.
He kissed her. Then, pointing up
ward, he said:
"That's Mars, dove"
Sand that's pas" she whispered, as

BRYANISM AND INDIANA.
Would Do Well to Give Some
Attention.

1t is worthy of note that while Mr..
Bryan is in the east adjuring his par
ty friends to be steadfast in their de-
votion to the Chicago platform, the
democrats of Indiana have elected a
gold man chairman of their state com.
mittee. The champions of silver warm
~ opposed the selection, but they were
out-maneuvered and out-voted. Drift
was decidedly against them. Indiana
was long a democratic state, but when
Mr.. Bryan came to the front and made
free silver the issue, sentiment changed
and the republicans took charge. They
have been in charge ever since, and
are now in complete charge. A repub-
lican governor, two United States sem
ators, republican majority of the
delegation in the house of repres enta-
tives. and republican majority Il the
state legislature attest the powe. Of
Organism as disintegrating force.
Hence this change, and this notice to
the public by the Indiana democrats
of an. effort to try and return to saneJ
counsels under a new leadership, say.
the Washington Star.
The effect of this change will be
tested before the next presidential
race. The next legislature will choose
successor to Mr.. Fairbanks in the
senate, and that gentleman is a can
didate to succeed himself. He is a
very strong man, and one Of his par
tvs national leaders. He has been men,
toned with respect for the presidency,
and is frequently mentioned now as the
proba ole running mate with Mr.. Roose-
yelt ia 1904. He is popular at home
and IL he is to be defeated for return
to the senate it can only be accom-
plished by the most strenuous and
wisely conducted campaign on the
part Of his opponents.
II is vastly to be seen. how much a
victory over Mr.. Fairbanks would be
worth TO the Indiana democrats. The
state would be lifted Immediately into
consideration as the best fighting
ground for 1904, and the democratic
leaders brought forward in the spec
ulation respecting national candi-
dates. Play to secure the first place
would be fully authorized, and II that
missed, play for second place would
follow and probably be successful
The democrat who presented himself
as the successor to Mr.. Fairbanks in
the senate would be between March 4,
1908, and the meeting Of the next dem
ocratic national convention, one of the
most conspicuous men in his party.
Speechmaking in the east has it's
charms, but Mr.. Bryan would do well
to give some time to Indiana. IT Is a

spect TO the next presidential race,
