"What is the va4ue?' asked an eX-
press agent in Broadway office of
keen-eyed, sharp-nosed customer who
had handed him a package to be sent
to a western city. Theman addressed
did not answer at once, says the New
York Herald, but glanced a a printed,
card on the wall that read: always
state the value Of your shipment"
IF | state the value will your com
pany pay me that amount in case the
package is lost?" asked the man in
his turn.
"Certainly not, unless that is proved
to be it's value" answered the agent.
IF | state the value, can / prove a
greater value if it is lost?"
you will have to ask lawyer that
question:" replied the agent

Your company is trying to establish
an unfair rule, because it works only
one way. You are right when you say
that my statement cannot bind you. for
in case of loss you can prove he value;
but my statement would bind me. for
the court would say | was 'estopped'
by my declaration as to the value.
"If a shipper should undervalue his
shipment, thinking that thereby he
would reduce the charges. he would
have to stand by his statement, and
your notice is calculated to make him
do that very thing. You can mark
my shipment NO value stated and
then if we meet in the courts it will be
on an equal footing"

RAT THAT CATCHES MICE.

One of the best mousers in the coun-
try is a white rat owned by resident
of Brooklyn. This rat, with several Of
his kind, has been kept in cage in
an unused stable in the rear of the
mans home. Their food attracted all
the mice in the neighborhood until the
place swarmed with them and they De-

would have To get rid Of their pets.
The little son went back to the sta
Bile and let the rats out, so that papa
could not catch them. The grandfather
of the lot, a big fellow, scurried off into
the straw, and in minute there was
squeaking. He soon appeared with a
mouse in his mouth.
He carried it into the cage and start
ed out after another mouse, which he
soon caught. He seemed to have a
strong hatred for them and was inde-
fatiguable in his hunting. He was
left at liberty all night and in the
morning ten mice were dead in his
cage.
1t was decided to keep the pets and
to give the old fellow his liberty
every night. This proved "A good

At best, reciprocity is but a
circuitous way of accomplishing
pieCemeal what can be done
better and easier directly by
acts abolishing or reducing
duties. Reciprocity granted,
one country works discrimina
ton against others with similar
products. They, too, will de-
mand concessions for their
trade with threats of retalia-
tory tariffs. If granted, rates
and varieties of duties differing
with every country will render
the tariff, complicated enough
at best, confusion worse con-
founded. If denied, retaliation
is the next step-a step already
determinedly taken by Canada
in giving a preference of SO per
cent. to England over the Uni.
ed States, and by Russia. Thus
the policy of reciprocity leads
to discrimination, retaliation
and war itself by reason of the
bad blood it may engender.
Nay, it is preceded by, it be-
gins with, discrimination and
retaliati on: for, according to it's
republican sponsors, duties

err. Are not all things given to
him who asks?
The soft sandals Of Father
Anselmo made little noise upon
the flags as he passed up the
aisle of the chapel at midnight
and kneeled at the altar for
prayer. Well he prayed and
long, with an abiding faith,
believing that by some miracle
would his prayer be answered.
But the dark shadows in the
chapel answered not. And still
the father prayed. The night
passed and the day was born;
and still the father prayed.
Gradually the light broke in
the east and the broad sun
arose and shot its beams across
the stricken land; and Father
Anselmo prayed. And as he
prayed long line of light en-
tered at the window and made
a golden glory among the raft
ers; aud it moved like Il point
ing finger along the 0roof and
down the wall; and on a sudden
it lit the altar loft where the
treasures of the church lay,
and where the great picture of
the Christ hung sheltered in its
golden frame; and it lit the
frame with a twofold glory and
paused-lingering. Then flash

small voice: THE Son of Man

head" What need had He then

had 5corned the riches of the
world. Still Father Anselmo
shrank in horror. And the
light, travelling, awoke the face
OF the Christ, that face glori.
fed with its tender eyes. and
there lowered there a smile
which seemed to say: Fear
not. This do in my name"

light, and for the first time in

THE SUNS FINGER.
Short Interesting Story By E. F.
Green.

Beyond the alkali and cactus
of the Arizona desert lies the
red line of the Colorado, and
beyond that the land of ro-
nance and of dream. There, in
a district apart and of itself,
lived Father Anselmo. He had
been born and raised in the
place. He knew each stone and
tree and hut and moving thing.
Here he had thought the deep
thoughts and dreamed the lofty
dreams that had led him to the
bosom Of the church; and now
he walked among his people,
black. robed and loving, a yer
liable incarnation of good. And
the simple people loved him. as

hopes; sorrowed in their SOL

them down the stony road of
life. 1t was fine, on a summers
evening, to see Father Anselom
standing on the azoteo Of the
house, gazing over the broad
valley where the corn was rip
ening, and the people, with
noise and laughter, were com
ing down the lanes toward
home; for he loved to gather
his flock to him in one all EN-
bracing glance.
Thus they lived quietly, these
people, until the season of the
great drought. One will moi
