Will OPPOSE TREATY
Senator Burrows. Michigan, IL
Inmates That Cuban Recipro-
city Will Have Enemies.
THINKS REDUCTION TOO GREAT.
Twenty Per Cent Lowering Of the
Sugar Tariff Might. Be Considered.
but Twenty-Five Per Cent Said to
Be Entirely Too Much.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Bur
rows, Of Michigan, who was among
the Republicans in opposition to the
bill for Cuban reciprocity at the last
session, gave out an interview yes
terday on the Cuban treaty now be-
fore the senate, in which he makes 1t
apparent that the treaty may have
rough passage.
There were reasons outside Of the
merits or dement's of that BILL" Sen
ator Burrows said, (which caused Re
publican senators to hold the opinion
that it was undesirable to bring up N
the senate for consideration at that
time. The bill contained proposi
ton for tariff reduction which under
the rules of the senate was open to
limitless amendment The time was
the eve of congressional election
and an active and aggressive minor
ity party stood ready to offer amend
ments without end. The Republican
party would have been put on record
as voting against tariff revision; 1t
will revise the tariff when it needs to
be revised, and will revise it as a
whole and not by pieeemeal
'In the second place the bill was in
a measure indefinite. 1t authorized
the president to lower the duties
levied on Cuban products in the event
of Cuba granting equivalent conces-
sions to products of the United States.
American industries affected by the
reduction had no means of knowing
the rate of the equivalent duties
Time Undetermined.
"The time of the continuance of the
reduced tariff was undetermined by
the bill and American industries could
not tell how long the rates would con
tinue in effect and 1t was claimed
that the reduction of the tariff threat
ened seriously to damage one Ameri-
can industry, the manufacture Of beet
sugar.
The National Association of Beet
Growers will meet in Washington Jan.
to consider the effect Of the treaty
upon their business in Michigan, Kan
sas Nebraska and on the Pacific
coast They will reach a decision

HER INDIGNATION.

out for a small luncheon. but on the
morning of the eventful day her
"hclp" departed, heartlessly and
unanimously.
There was nothing to do but to inn
press into service the wife of the
ianitor of the fiat and induce her to
act as waitress.
1t was her first experience in this
sort of household duties, and the eff
feet was to surprise her and render
her somewhat indignant at the doings
of society.
"D'ye moind what Oh had to do,
Pat?' she was overheard saying to
her husband. "sure an OF didn't
moind waitfn' at all, if they'd only
let me do 1T roight.
"Wouldn't they let you do it roight,
Norah?" he asked with concerned in

"sure an they wouldn't. They
wouldn't let me fetch the things to
ate all at once an set 'em on the Ia
BILE. Oh had to bring 'em in one at a
time. An after Oi brought 'em in
they wouldn't reach for the things.
Oh had to pass around to every Teddy
at the table. Och, but the way they
wasted time. They might have got
through an hour sooner. The ways of
these sassiety folks is beyant mel"
But Pat sympathized with her and
agreed that there had been great
waste of time.

In dreams I pinned for the sky and The

And 1 said: 81 will rise to that upper air
And the life that draweth me-
The twining weeds of the water-world
Reached out and held me fast:

To catch ma as l passed;
The creeping things of mire and mud
Beckoned and babe me stay;
In the treacherous current, swift and

I felt my weak stem sway;
But thro' them. over them, past them all
I took my upward way
Brimmed with sunshine and stepped in
light,
I lifted up
My fragrant cup
Bloom of the daytime and star of the
In rapture l gazed at the heavens blue
And knew that all my dreams We're true
And pure and fair

Never trace of slime and mold.

POOR BUNDLE-WRApPERS
Merchants of All Kinds Have Become
Used to the Paper bag and
Grown Careless.

Somewhere and somehow the world
of trade has lost the art of tying I'D
bundles in grocery stores, dry goods
houses, hardware stores, and even in
the drug stores.
The paper bag seems to have been
the beginning of it. Before it's COM
ing even crossroads grocer could
lay double thickness of brown pa
per on the counter, empty dollars
worth of Coffee AZ sugar upon it
out of brass scoop, and tie the
package up as smooth and tight as
a block of planned wood. How many
clerks in Chicago corner grocery
could do it now? asks the Tribune.
In the old days, in some of the
smaller towns, the purchaser carried
his sugar home on his arm and in
consideration of this the brown par
Gel would be rewrapped in thinner,
lighter sheet of paper width was sup
posed to make u more comely pack
age.
1t was remarkable what a neat
looking bundle a grocer or hardware
dealer could make of several odd
shaped bundles or packages. In some
OF the general" stores a coffee mill,
bag of salt and tin dipper could
be tied into a paper SO skillfully that
a nelghbor across the street seeing
the head of the house come in with
it would be left in deep wonderment
as to whether it was a new suit of
clothes or a bolt of domestic"
With the perfection of the paper
bag, however. slovenliness began to
mark the wrapping in stores. At first
bag was filled, the top folded into
place neatly, and tied as if it were
open paper. Then the grocer, espe-
cially, simply folds the top of the
bag in and rolls it down on to the
contents, using no string whatever.
To-day wrapping up bundles is
lost art. Nobody carries neat bundles
anywhere. An ordinary package of
some solid object is laid down on
a piece of paper, and as it is rolled
up the ends of the paper are tucked
into the bundle, leaving the wrapper
to tie string around the center of
the roll. With many small objects
no string is used, and person with
several of these bundles, starting
home from downtown is most likely
to have trouble with wrappings be-
fore he gets there.
In many things the druggist still
does neat wrapping, as in the case
of bottles, packages, and even pow
ders. But to buy from his general
stock of toilet articles and kindred
goods he makes as ugly bundle as
the grocer. In most cases, too, he
uses some hideously colored wrapping
paper which simply flares with the
Intelligence" to the public that you
or some of your family is sick.
The ordinary bundle to-day is
neither neat nor pretty--which may
be Il reason why more than ever be-
fore people insist on having all goods
delivered in the rear"

Equal to the Emergency.

This is Il story of II man who has
become a successful merchant. A few
years ago he was employed as an
office boy and messenger for a large
firm. He was sent to collect an ac-
count from a firm which was consid-
cred very "shaky," and was told to
get the money at all hazards.
The debtors gave the lad check
for ESQ. lie went to the bank at once
to cash it, and was told by the cashier
that there were not enough funds in
to meet it.
"How much short?' asked the lad
'Thirty shillings," was the answer
1t lacked but Il minute or two OF
the time for the bank to close. The
boy felt in his pocket, took out &c
shillings and. pushing Though the
window. Said:
"Put that to the credit of - &
Co."
The cashier did so. whcreupon the
boy presented the check and got the
money. - g. Co. failed the next day

tWenty-ti years Northern Wisconsin
never had a crop failure Grains of all
kinds do well, and our farmers are
authority for the statement that they
have threshed out so, 60, 80 yes, 80
bushels of oats to the acre and that
wheat and rye give satisfactory yields
"But you can't grow corn" is the usual
cry that goes up from the farmer of
the lower sectiosns, and here again
they are wrong.
Our farmers never have any trouble
In securing good crop of the flint
and dent corn One variety which
has been tried and found adapted to
our county is the South Dakota dent,
1t producing large yield and ril ening
early.
AS tor root crops, each and every
variety grows TO its largest size and of
excellent flavor. Stock vegetables,
such as mangles, ruttabagas, turnips,
carrots, etc, yield large returns.
Berries of all kinds flourish in this
section, We never saw finer straw
berries than were grown here in
Superior last season, and they came
after all those that had been shippe d
i'll were out of the market, and sold
for fancy price.
Thus it can readily be seen why the
western grain producer is looking
with longing eyes to Northern Wis
consin, because here they can engage
in diversified farming, the only true
and successful way of tilIing the soil.
Tie farmers Of The grain belt are not
the only ones who are looking our
way From Southern Wisconsin, Illi-
nois, Iowa, Minnesota and southern
Michigan men who own farms which
are selling from $75 to 500 per acre
have caught the idea tha if they can
raise stock on land worth this amount
per acre and pay interest on their in
vestment, they certainly can pay
larger dividends on the natural grass
lands of Northern Wisconsin, where
they can purchase ten acres for each
one they own in these older and more
populated districts. And thus it is that
eyes in all districts are looking to this
portion of the country. During the
past year thousands have visited this
section. Some have bought, others
have let slip the golden opportunity
and have returned to their homes vel!
satisfied with the country, but with
out investing. The seed, however,
has been sown, and each party who
has visited here will return home and
speak we'll of the country to his neigh
Dor, and settlers are coming our way
not singly, but in groups
