But Not Quite So Pleasant For the
Letter Writer'S.
A friend of mine, an elderly lady,
was invited to stay a week end just
lately at country house. At the last
moment her maid was taken i'll, and
my friend took to wait upon her in
stead new hOusemaid, raw girl
from an orphanage.
When Mrs. a. retired to rest at her
friends house on the first night of ar
irving there, she rang twice without
being needed. Presently the girl,
breathlcss, with many apologies, ran
into her room.
What has kept you" asked Mrs. A.
ooh, ma'am," came the ready reply,
1.-The upper servants was having such
lovely game, and joined in-the let

"Oh. yes"' said my friend good ma
turedly. "Quite an amusing game. l
played it as a child. You have single
letters given to you. and you make up
4 word with them"

Test of Affection.

"Why. papa, he'd make any sacrifice
for me. He said only last night that If
l babe him 90 he would seek the north
pole for me-and bring 1t back too"
well, we won't test him quite SO
severely, my dear. If he'll come up
and sit in our unwarmed parlor
through the winter, with no coal in the
cellar and the mercury wherever it
may chance to drop, We'll let him out
on the arctic ordeal"

Monsabre, the eloquent French preach

One day just as he was going tG
preach a message came to him that a
lady wanted to see him. She was wor-
ried about an affair of conscience. She
felt like she'd like to see him. etc. Aft
err much waste Of time she came to the
point. She was given up to vanity.
That very morning she had looked into
her looking glass and yielded to the
temptation of thinking herself pretty.
Pere Monsabre looked at her and
said quickly, us that ALP

exacting. This is the first time, though,

In the cold, cruel, mercenary business
generation investors are inclined to

what shall Professor Treadweu receive
in exchange for his grand old SOUL
In the Bible IT is written. what shall
it profit a man if he gain the whole

Perhaps the professor expects TO re-
cover his soul, a little the worse for
wear. maybe, but still a fairly good
working soul, which. with neat job
of half-soling, may be made to wear as
well as ever. What shah a man give

probably means: What shall a man

a mIscHIEvous TARIFF.

CONGRESSMAN HEATWOLE has
" introduced in the house a bill to
place, on the free-list schedule of the
Dingley tariff act all mechanically
ground wood pulp, chemical wood pulp,
bleached and unbleached, printing pa
per unsized, sized or glued. suitable for
books and newspapers. A tariff tax
Of one-quarter Of 1 cent per pound is
now exacted on bleached wood pulp.
The unbleached pulp must pay one
twelfth of a cent per pound if meehan-
ieally made and one-sixth of a cent
per pound if made by the use Of chem
icals. Paper on which newspapers are
printed is assessed three-teHths of a
cent per pound.
As The Herald has before pointed
out, the effect of the tariff on paper
and wood pulp has been to create a
news. print trust. The cost of paper
has increased so enormously that today
the more papers a publisher prints the
worse he is off. That is. his paper bills
are out Of all proportion heavier than
they should be, for the gain in revenue
has not and cannot keep pace with the
other The public is interested in free
paper and paper materials because it
wants the news and wants it as cheap
ly as possible.
Unless something is done for the re-
lief of the publishers it viii be neces-
sary for many of them to increase the
subscription price of their publications
No other avenue of escape. is offered
if the ruinous tariff with its invitation
{ TO monopoly is continued in force.
Another forcible argument in favor
. OF the measure is that it would eneour-
age the preservation of American
spruce forests, since spruce pulp is used
almost entirely in the manufacture Of
news paper. In Canada. Norway and
other foreign countries are almost
limitess spruce forests which would
be utilized if the tariff is taken off the
pulr It's abolition cannot materially
affect me country's revenues, for the
tax makes importations impossible.
The effect OF the duty has simply
been to enrich the news print monopoly
and to work a hardship on the always
willing champions of the people, their
educators and their friends-the news
/ papers Of the country. They have borne
the burden uncomplainingly for years
Now it is only fair that they should be
/ relieved.

ROBERTS SMOKED OFT.

CENATOR RAWLINS seems to have
) smoked out one Mr.. Roberts, direc-
ton OF he United States mint. The
senator has been working hard TO Sc
cure TIE establishment of an assay
office at Provo. The need for such an
institution had been readily admitted
by senators and high government Of
ficials. but Mr.. Roberts declined to en-
courage the idea. A vista paid by Sem
ator RawIins to the mint director re-
veaIs the reason. Briefly put. he fears
that the establishment of the Provo
ASSAY Office would stimulate the pro-
duction Of gold. something that is
feared by the money-lUaners Of the
world.
Mr.. Roberts is restless over the pros
pect Of peace in South. Africa and the
resumption Of gold mining there. A
bouuuful supply of the yellow metal
he says, would lead to disturbances in
the business world. In other words, if
the mines Of the earth are encouraged
10 yield enough gold to make money
cheaper it may be necessary to demon
etize gold and substitute something
that can be more easily -cornered. That
is undoubtedly what he means by dis
turbaace in business. Anything calcu-
lated to make it easier for men to dis
charge their obligations is not wanted
by Mr.. Roberts, the subservient tool
of the money merchants.
The admissie,.s of the mint director
are remarkable for their candor OF
course, nobody is foolish enough to
suppose shat one little assay Office at
Provo would cause, so large a produc-
ton Of gold as to paraIyze the fnan-
ciers Of the east. It IS the principle.
not the specific instance, that the can
ny Roberts Is alarmed at. If the Provo
office were established it might form a
lever for other offices in the west and
so make it possible for Iow-grade prop
ositions which are now idle TO be
opened ami worked at a profit.
AS Senator Rawlins explains, the
opening of an assay Office at Provo
would decrease the profits of eastern
metal buyers who are now making
money - the sale Of Utah gold and
silver. Instead of paying bullion
freight charges TO New York and other
eastern cities. the miners could sell
their product to the local assay office,
thus saving not only the freight but
the commissions Of the middiemen. Its
value in stimulating gold and silver
mining can hardly be overestlmated,
SO far as Utah is concerned.
Senator Rawlins has not lost hope
for the passage OF mis- measure. He
expects to call it up again at the earli-
est possible opportunity in spite Of the
fight against it, and he may secure its
passage In his campaign he viii have
the earnest support of every citizen
who is interested, directly or indirect
~. in the mining industry.

HANNA AND RATHBoNE.

IIANNA'S RUSH to defend the con-
Il victed postofice thief. Rathbone,
viii recall TO many people that OLD
proverb. that Often-disputed proverb:
There is honor among thieves" Sc
cure in his ship subsidy raid on the
treasury, Senator Hanna naturally
feels sorry for a man who coarsely stole
q rev vulgar thousands and who seems
likely to pay the penalty Cor mis- mis-
deeds. From any other point OF view
the action which Senator Hanna pro-
poses to take is most astonishing.
Rathbone and his co-couspirators in
the Cuban postal frauds, after ex-
hausung every legal resource, were
finally brought TO trial The hearing.
according to all accounts, was fun and
impartial As a result the defendants
were convicted and sentenced TO terms
in the peHitentiary, and, in addition,
they must pay heavy fines. In spite Of
the veri.ct, which could not have been
arrived at without an overwhelming
weight of testimony against the Grim
inaIs, Senator Hanna insists that Rath-
hone is innocent
he expects TO resort to the extra
ordinary plan Of special legislation in
order TO save his friend. This means
that he win introduce a bill in the sen
ate providing for a change of venue
from Cuba to the United States. a
change OF venue for a res adjudicata.
The inwardness Of the plan cannot be
hidden. however much Senator Hanna
would like 20 conceal it. TO Try the
case N the United States would mean
the bringing OF a number Of witnesses
from Cuba Many Of the important
ones. perhaps, would be hard 20 find.
and harder to get here after they were
found. With the case Of the prosecu-
tior destroyed it would be very easy
for Mr.. Rathbone to assume the role of
injured Innocence.
The faithfuiness Of tde senator to his
friend Rathhone IS pleasant to see. but
even friendship may sometimes be
overdone when grave issues are in
voived. A splendid example TO the en-
hryonic Cuban republic was set in the
N-ar- ~leiA -+AAAaAA "a AesA A4AAt04aE aAttl
his pals Il was an object lesson in the
punishment OF criminal officials which
could not fail to carry weight with
every Cuban voter. To reverse that
excellent example at the mere request
OF politician would be TO encourage
fraud among Cuba's new officials and
might start a reign Of loot that would
wreck the little republic.
II Is pity that SO good a friend Of
Senator Hanna as Tathbone must be
should lansuish for zen years in prison
but it is far better that Rathbone
should suffer for his crime than that
other men be tempted TO go and dc
likewise. BY all means let the de-
fendacts serve out their terms to the
last hour. Had they been soldiers con-

Accident to Grand Trunk Train In
MichigRn-One Man Killed,
Five Injured.

Lansing, Mich, April 7.--Wbile d
Grand Trunk passenger train was
passing through Milletts, tank sta
ton seven miles west of here, early
Sunday the rear coach and the Pull
man sleeper were thrown off the
track One person was killed and five
were injured. The dead man is Able
Burnstine, Chicago. The injured are:
c. Niinnehan, Providence, Il. l., com
pound fracture of skull, fractured
leg; Rev. M. j. Ozshoski, Chicago, u
Jesuit priest, two bad scalp wounds;
j. l.. Gordon, Rochester, n. Y, badly
bruised; Frank Thomas, Mount Glenn
ems, Mich, badly bruised; ]. i. Zieg-
Ter, Detroit, brakeman, bruises. The
wreck occurred at a switch on which
a freight train was standing. The
first seven cars crossed the switch
safely, but as the last coach was
passing over the switch points the
trucks caught in such a way as to
throw it and the Pullman car follow
ing off the track and over on to the
engine of the freight train. The two
ears and the engine were thrown into
the ditch 1t is said that the switch
had been tempered with. The engi-
neer and fireman of the freight train
were examining the engine as the
two ears crashed into it and they
had narrow escapes. The passenger
train was running at high speed when
the accident occurred. The injured
were taken to Detroit, where all
are reported as doing well. Burn
stine's body was taken to Charlotte.
