what FARMER. win Think.

When the farming interest is once
convinced that protective tariff is
designed simply to protect the man
ipulators of their products, and not to
protect the producers, they will lose
much of their interest in question. The
working man does not follow the rami-
fications of the protective system He
looks only at immediate results. When
the election of next year occur the
Republicans will be in an awkward
position when they are asked by the
farmer constituents why they destroy
the only protection ever granted to the
agriculturist and leave untouched the
duties upon all commodities that the
farmer has to buy-why then continue
the enormous protection afforded the
sugar refiner and at the same time
subject the sugar grower to that COM
petition with cheap tropical labor and
conditions which the party has invari-
ably declared to be inimical to the in
terests of the home laborer. Should
the Democrats win this battle by the
aid of Republicans who yield to the
sugar trust, the result of the next ma

There was in Bangor at the time a

was given to paint the features of
Capt Wilder. In the course of time
the portrait was completed and the

STORY OF PRINCE HENRY.

Omclal was Taken Down.
Prince Henry of Prussia, according
to story told by diplomat who was
once attached to the British embassy
in Berlin, was one day chatting with
an English friend in a cafe in Bonn,
when he became an object of suspi-
sion to a minor official The prince is
too discreet man to discuss affairs
of state in public place. but on this
occasion some subject arose which,
while not of general interest related
to the imperial family. The CONVEX
sation was in English, and the spy
ing official was acquainted with that
language At length Prince Henry
remarked:
why. my dear fellow, don't you see
that the emperor would be even era
zier than some people seem to believe
he is if he did anything like that?''
The official leaned toward his royal
highness and said:
Sir, are you aware that there is a
lese majestic law in this country? Let
me hear another remark of that kind
and / make a complaint against YOU
The Englishman took in the situa-
ton, and a moment afterward re-
marked:

In view of the many curious errors
of statement contained in his various
communications on the subject Of

there is room for the reasonable de-

the truth. It may be that the nose and
throat is the oftenest affected by ca

these parts are more exposed to the

other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity

I| that recalls TO SOiAC - 49,
older residents of this re-
gion story long forgotten
of Daniel Webster, his impulsiveness
and his carelessness- This portrait -
that of a hero of the American revoiu-
tion-Capt Luke Wilder-who was
chum of Webster's father, Ebenezer,
the latter, also, having been an omcer
in the Continental army. Wilder was
one of the closest friends of the great
orator..
Capt Luke Wilder was born in Lam
caster, Mass, and afterward moved TO
Salisbury n. H, the home OF the
,Websters, and where the statesman
was born in 1882. He was man OF
splendid physique, standing over six
feet in height and was noted for his
strength and courage. At the break
ing out of the Revolution he at once
offered his services to the Colonial
government and formed a company,
receiving captain commission He
took his company to join Gen. Stark's
forces, and they performed valiant
service at the battle of Bennington.
After the close of the war Captain
Wilder engaged in various business
enterprises, farming, numbering and
trading, with varying success Hav
ing suffered a serious financial re-
verse, he moved to Maine, and was
located for time in the town of
Hudson, not far from Bangor, after
ward going to Bangor, where he
died on November "a, 1886.
When Capt. Wilder went to Bangor
the place was a mere village, where
some lumber was manufactured for
shipment to the West Indies, and
where trading was carried on with
the Tarratine Indians, agriculture
conducted by primitive methods sup
plying the majority of the people
with rather a scant subsistence. The
friendship between Capt. Wilder and
the Websters was kept up through
correspondence, and in 1904 Daniel
and his brother Ezekial, visited
in Bangor. At that time there were no
bridges across the Kenduskeag
stream. which divides the city into
two parts, and local historians relate
to make their way over the stream on
a raft of logs.
Capt Wilder bought what is known
as the Bruce farm, few miles out of
the city, on the banks of the kendus
keag stream-a fine, large property, in
a picturesque location, but covered for
the most part with a dense growth of
pine and other woods. He cleared
much of the farm. and built there
good house, in which he spent the lat
ter years of his life and where his
children were born This house was
burned, and in 1925 Capt Wflder's son
built the present mansion, which is
fine example of early New England
homestead architecture, with wide
wainscoting, huge freplaces, curiously
wrought stair rails and capacious
chimneys. In this house the pres
emit occupant has lived since infancy,
and here hangs the painting of the
Revolutionary captain, which she
holds as the most precious of her
possessions. -Irs. Hassard is wom-
an of intelligence and culture. and
at the age of seventy-seven, her mind
is perfectly clear concerning all
events within her recollection, and
her conversation, characterized by a
quiet dignity of speech and manner,
is most entertaining.

PASSING OF MOLLLE MONROE

A few days ago, in Phoenix. Mollie Monroe passed away. While her death removed from earth but a mortal of the human race, there end ed the career of one woman, however, in the pioneer life of Arizona that is decidedly interesting if it is not fas- cinating. For twenty-five years she had been an inmate of an insane asy- lum, but this episode must not be weighed against her in death On the other hand it is but an complication of the fall of another woman at the wayside of devotion and which the hereafter must solve. Of this woman nothing but kindly words must be said. And in alluding to her wayward life it is only done to link the career of one with another in a chain of circum- stances probably without an equal in love or devotion to man.
 Mollie Monroe went to Prescott late in the eos as the brevet wife of lieu tenant of the regular army. She was well educated, vivacious and fascinat- ing. and generally recognized as lead CT among her sex.
 With the removal to another point of this officer, Mollie remained in Prescott for some months. Despairing in accomplishing the aim of her life an object in short which had a tireless motive of vengeance, she fal,ered and then became dissipated. and like so many who have gone before. fel a willing victim to personal weakness.
 The femine garb was cast away, early associations of her sex were dis. carded, and with a vicious haughtiness she began anew a career that ended so cruelty but a few days ago.
 The pioneers of northern Arizona in her day of personal charm and social glory, will recall the familiar figure of Mollie Monroe as woman of noble impulses and charitable deeds, but how many are there who can draw a picture of this litt,e woman and re- move the veil from her life in early girlhood.
 It reads like romance, and from the lips of pioneer who knew her before she came to Arizona a brief sketch of her life may not be uninteresting. She was born in New Hampshire about sixty-six years ago and was of an ex- cellent family. At about 20 years of age she became engaged to a young man. The union of the two was op- posed by the parents of each, and lat CT the man was sent to the Pacific coast by his people in the hope that a long journey would gradually poison
