ed, that party would still be entitled
to the distinguished confederation
OF the people, but the platform pro-
mise concerning the territories is
only one little venial sin compared
to the mountain Of iniquity Justly
chargeable to the republican party
The republican national platform
not only promised statehood to the
territories and then went back on
the promise, but it also promised
reciprocity not only with Cuba, but
with other countries. The re-
ciprocity treaties negotiated by Nc
Kinley have never been ratified.
And yet the protective duties OF the
Dipgley bill were purposely placed
so high that the concession made to
foreign countries under the treaties
negotiated would still leave ample
protection for the trusts. But the
trusts demanded all the swsg that
the tariff bill gave them, aud their
Influence with the republican Con.
gress was sufficient to prevent the
ratification OF the reciprocity

lican platform to favor legislation
that would prevent monopolies "to
limit production or to control
prices," has not been redeemed and
never will be unit the republican
party and it's present leaders are
retired from business, for the trusts
and monopoles furnish their bread
OF life-campaign funds. The pro.
misses OF the republican platform to
labor have not been redeemed. The
republican platform declared, Eve
are in favor of more effective res
friction OF the immigration of cheap
labor from foreign counteies." That
this promise has been bept is plain
to every man on earth from the fact
that the present immigration ex-
ceeds that of any other year in the
history OF the country. 1t is quite
unnecessary to 60 on piling up in
stances of republican platform pro-
misses repudiated. The above are
amply sufficient to show that the
republican platform are like those
OF the passenger coach, made to go
in on and not to stand on. Redeem
ed republican platform promises
are the exception and not the rule.
Republican promises are made only
to fool the people, How much
longer will the people be fooled?

CAUGHT IN A LOG JAM.
thrilling Fishing Experience I'm
Northern Michigan.


Upon one occasion in northern Mich
1gan | was trout fishing in company
with a veteran timber cruiser, a man
who knew everything about the rough
push life, says a writer in Worlds
Work. In time we reached bend in
the stream where a lot of small logs
had damned during the spring freshet.
My cOmrade unconcernedly ventured
upon the logs, and before | could fol-

upon a loose one and instantly diSap-
peared. Had l not been looking at him
1t is likely 1 should have imagined he
had crossed and gone into the brush
upon the farther side. One log of all
the mass was rolling, and a hand show
ed at one side of it. To dart across and
seize the hand occupied very few Sec
ends, but to my horror could not pull
him up through the narrow space
through which he had slipped. To set
foot upon the log either side the open
ing and shove with all strength was the
only hope. For seconds l chung to the
wrist and strained nightly. Slowly
the logs separated and up he came till
he was able to twist upon his stomach
across a log. Half drowned as he was,
he had not lost his nerve. "DO-dch't
let 'em squeeze back on me!' he gasp
ed, and moment later he was on his
feet. Most men would have weakened
then, but he was iron. He had Swal-
lowed a lot of water, had been cheek
by jowl with an awful death, yet he
had no idea of proving false. The logs
were slowly slipping farther apart and
was standing like a certain large gen
tleman Of Rhodes and unable to stand
much more spreading or to spring to
either side, while, Of course, to slip
into the water meant to enter the trap
he had just escaped. In a few seconds
he seized my hand and one quick haul
carried me to firm footing. The logs
at once closed like a gigantic trap.
When we reached solid ground my COM
rade almost collapsed and for half an
hour he was very sick man. Later

little book were deeply interested in
Grace Winthrop. AS to that, she was
willing that Grace should have the
preference and the attentions of one Of
these young men, but she had not yet
decided which one. Mr.. Lamar had
great deal of money, and Mr.. Barnes
was very good looking and lively, en-
gaging companion. 1t was a difficult
choice AS matter of fact, Gladys
had no right to consider any such
choice at all for reasons that will pres
emily appear.
Miss Winthrop came back into the
room and sat down by the desk
"Tll just address these letters if you
don't mind" she said, with a smile.
Tommy is coming for them in half
minute"
Grace glanced at the little book and
then rapidly wrote the two addresses.
Tommy came in and got the letters.

"# written two letters. They
lay upon her desk sealed and
stamped, but not addressed.
She had dipped her pen into the ink to
address one of them, which was placed
squarely upon the top of the other.
This is a somewhat unusual method of
procedure, but it was habit of the
girls. She sometimes wrote half doZ-
en- letters and made pile of them, put
ting on the addresses after they were
all done, at some inconvenience to her.
self and with risk of misdirecting the
missives. Yet she had never suffered
that misfortune.
There was a knock, and Miss Win
throp went to the door to find that the
visitor was Gladys Darrell. The two
girls were from the same small town,
had attended the same schools and had
been sojOurners in the city about an
equal time. They preserved an init
macy which was not especially agree
able to either of them, but their early
association and the fact that they were
studying music under the same masters
and had nearly the same circle of ac-
quaintance held them together. Miss
Winthrop did not find Miss Darrell con-
genial; she did not quite approve of
her conduct in certain matters, and
Miss Darrell perceived it, resented it
and concealed within her heart smol-
dering animosity, which was made
worse by somewhat absurd jealousy.
Yet there had never been anything like
a quarrel between them.
When Grace Winthrop opened the
door for Gladys a round faced boy who
was the landlady's son was passing
through the hall. Grace had a message
for this youth, and so she excused her
self to Gladys, who passed into the lit
tie parlOr alone.
Gladys crossed to the desk beside the
window and saw the two letters lying
there. She was girl whose great nat
ural curiosity was insuffciently re-
strained by delicacy-the sort of girl
who couldn't help wondering for whom
those letters were intended Beside
them was a memorandum book about
the size of half a playing card. 1t was
open, and a ruler lay across it in such
a way as to cover most of the left
hand page and leave the other exposed.
The visible page bore two addresses
Mr.. Henry Lamar, Aldine building,
and Mr.. Willis Barnes, Fl Broad street.
They seemed to have been very recent
ly set down in the book, and the
thought flashed through Gladys brain,
''She's been writing to those two fell
lows"
She glanced quickly toward the door.
It was nearly closed, and Grace was
still in the hall. Gladys took up the
two letters, saw that neither was adj
dressed and put them down again
transposed. There was not a visible
sign that anything had happened, but
the letter which had lain atop before
was now below. Gladys went to the
other side of the room and sat down in
a chair. Her heart was beating IN
comfortably hard, and she felt pain
full, nervous desire to laugh.
She suspected that both the young
men whose names she had read in the

man in the office that it was you who
were speaking. She had previously
mentioned my name, and he had sup
posed that she wanted to speak with
me. So he connected her with the tele-
phone in my room and forgot to break
the connection when he found out that
she merely wished to leave word for
me. So 1 was called to the telephone
and heard most of the conversation,
vainly trying meanwhile to break in of
course. She said: Pm Miss Grace Win
throp. l have sent letter to Mr. La
mar by mistake. l wish him to return
it unread. Please be sure of this; he
must not read it. That was the sub
stance of what she said I have
brought the letter back to you"
81 don't understand this in the least"
said Grace. There's no reason in the
world why you should not read it."
He had put it into her hand. She
gave it back to him.
81 understood her to mean," said he,
shat this letter was meant for some
one else and that it had been sent to
w
hurt by the suggestion that 1 might
have read it. Really, it didn't seem
like you at all. I'm mighty glad you
didn't know anything about that tele-
phone message. l don't honestly care
much what Miss Darrell thinks me
capable of, but if l supposed that you
thought / could do such a thing even
by inadvertence- Why, the first words,
of course, would let a person know
that it wasn't for him, and
He completed the sentence with a
gesture of mild horror.
You may be very sure that l know
better" said Grace. And be thanked
her with a somewhat absurd earnest
ness which gave her the very first hint
that she had ever had of the state of
this young mans heart. The recogni-
ton of the fact was not painful except
in it's intensity. 1t brought sort OF
confusion with it. The girl forgot what
they had been talking about-forgot
Gladys and the letter until Lamar re-
called them to her.
Perhaps you'd better open it," said
he. And she did so.
''Why, this is to my mother!' she ex-
claimed.
Mr.. Lamar was slow but very ac-
curate thinker. He perceived that the
really extraordinary feature of this at
fair was the fact that Gladys Darrell
should have possessed such a peculiar
piece of information
"You-you wrote one to me, of
course" said he. did you pile them
up? I've seen you do it. Was Miss
Darrell there?'
Really, really" cried Grace, with a
mistaken loyalty, GLADYS would never
have done such a thing. l will not be-
lieve that she changed the letters
''But she did, you know" said La
mar, with calm decision, land, upon
my word, I'm inclined to be obliged to
her. Somehow l think it's-it's brought
US together just a bit-better friends,
you know. II don't know why it
should nor why l think SO. but hasn't
it?"
He looked ut her with a desperate
pleading that she should say that they
were just a little bit better friends
than they had ever been before. And
she laughed at him and gave him her
hand. And he kissed it, which, after
all, is hardly "a friendly thing to do-n
