Her Mission.

Her Mission.
She was only little woman. tits true.
And hers was a common story;
She never had dreamed of thing to do
That would lead to fame or glory.
She could not paint. and she could not
sing,
And she could not write sonnet;
She had not face that could lend a
grace
To stylish love Of a bonnet.
She had not wealth. and she knew not
ease;
She never had travelled for pleasure;
She knew not the art to charm and please
In the realm of social leisure.
And yet she deemed that her life was
blest
In its humble sphere Of duty,
Though only those who knew her best
Guessed half Of its hidden beauty.
For hers was a genius for little things,
The realm Of home to brighten.
And she scorned not the humblest work
that brings
Some force to cheer and tighten.
For comfort and order were hers to COM
mand
And the joys Of life seemed longer,
w llile CLlluHOou CIuu6 " ueI loVlHS Ilduu
And manhood. through her. grew stron-
ger.
And some who loved her were half afraid
That her sphere was far too small;
But oh, the happy home she made
Was great thing, after all!
And when her beauteous spirit shall flee
From its realms Of loving and giving
Her stainless monument shall be
The lives that were blessed by her liv-
ing.

Good hunting. aye. good hunting.
Wherever the forests call,
But ever heart beats hot with fear,
And what of the birds that fall?
Good hunting. aye. good hunting,
Wherever the north winds blow.
But what Of the stag that calls for his

And what Of the wounded doe?
Good hunting. aye, good hunting.
And, ah, we are bold and strong,
But our triumph call through the forest

Is brothers funeral song
For we are brothers ever.

Man and the weakest that fear his face.

Yes, brothers, and who shall judge us?
Hunters and game are we,

But the sportsman Death comes striding

The Shorter Course.

The Shorter Course.
Hurry the baby as fast as you can:
Hurry him, worry him. make him man.
Of with his baby clothes, get him in
pants;
Feed him on brain foods and make him
advance.
Hustle him soon as he's able to walk;
Into a grammar school: cram him with
talk
FIJI his poor head full of figures and
facts;
Keep on a-jamming them in till 1t cracks.
Once boys grew up at a rational rate;
Now we develop man while you wait.
Rush him through college. compel him to
grab
OF every known subject dip and dab.
Get him in business and after the cash
All by the time he can grow a mustache.
Let him forget he was ever boy;
Make gold his god and its Jingle his Joy;
Keep him adjusting and clear out of
breath

To My Mother.

10 WY mOIher.
One dawn she woke me when the darkness
lay
Faint on the summer fields. and all the
air
Was like question, and the green was
gray
With dew distilled of silver essence
where
The wild night people wrought. She said.
Dear one.
This is our holiday" And forth we
went
To find new kindred, new requests Of sun.
New glories for the spirits nourish-
ment.
oh. 1t was long ago. so long ago!
The dead years lie upon her grave like
flowers.

Have made me some one whom she does
not know
am become the nurse of days that
were,
The mother Of the memory of her.

It matters not how far fare
Or in what land bide,
Your voice sings ever on the air.
Your face shines at my side.
For me each crimson flower that slips
Its velvet sheath of green
Yields the remembrance Of your lips
With all their sweets between.

Around me when l rest:
My only stars are your dear eyes,
Loves own and loveliest.
Happy am I. though far apart
From all that makes life dear;
Love dwells contented in my heart,
Exiled. yet always near.

How far your love has flown
To cheer and bless your lover. SO

THE SUGAR TRUSTS.
They Have Joined Hands to Rob the
Farmer and the Consumer.

They Have Joined Hands to Rob the
Farmer and the Consumer.
The sugar trust, officially known as
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, has bought the controlling inter
est in the OXnard beet sugar combine,
so that in future there will be no more
competition between these two high
waymen as to who shall hold up the
consumer, and we may expect the
price of refined sugar to gradually, If
not rapidly. rise. On the other hand,
it Is probable that the price paid to the
farmers for beets will be reduced, for
the sugar trust will have no incentive
to increase the output of beet sugar
and will probably decide to decrease it..
The profit on refining cane sugar is
greater than on manufacturing beet
sugar, in consequence Of the discrimi-
mating duty of nearly a cent pound
on refined sugar, to which must be
added the counteryailing duty, which
is imposed to Offset the export bounty
paid by foreign countries, making the
actual duty on refined sugar about
225 cents q pound. If the reciprocity
treaty with Cuba is ratified this winter
the sugar trust will have a further ad-
vantage of % per cent reduction on
all sugar imported from Cuba, and as
sugar can be grown much cheaper
there than 1t can be manufactu
from beets the outlook for the farmers
who grow beets Is not reassuring. 1t
is stated that the sugar trust magnates
have invested in a large acreage of the
finest Cuban sugar lands, and when
the reciprocity treaty Is an accomplish
ed fact these lands will be utilized TO
produce sugar.
The only hope for the farmers who
grow beets and also for the general
pubuc-the consumers of sugars that
the discriminating and countervailing
duty shall be abolished. The sugar
trust would then have to reduce the
price of refined sugar to prevent the
competition OF the foreign article. AS
beet sugar is refined when ii is manu-
featured from the beets without going
through a separate refining operation,
as the cane sugar does, 1t is probable
that the trust would find 1t more prof
table TO manufacture beet sugar than
to buy and refine the cane raw sugar
when the preferential duty Is abolished.
The Democratic position is that q
reasonable duty on sugar is necessary
to raise revenue, but the preferential
duty, which allows the trust to in
crease the price to the public and peck
eft the difference, is robbery.

Wages and the Foreign Market.

The Pittsburg correspondent of the
Chicago Record-Herald advises his
paper that the manufacturers of pig
iron have decided to curtail the out
put of this product, beginning Oct. l..
The lower prices prevailing in England
prevent the United States from secur-
ing foreign markets unless the Gamer
ican) wOrkmen will grant a cOnces-
sion of p per cent in wages.
In considering this announcement,
the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald says,
it is we'll to proceed from the basic
reasons for a protective tariff, the
protection of home, alias infant, in
dustries, and the protection of Ameri-
can wOrkmen. Is the infant iron in
dustry protected? The answer is that
the protection is sufficient to keep
out the foreign supply. As n conse-
quence of this, wages of the Ameri-
can workmen ought to be high and
the American manufactures ought to
be content. enjoying as he does a mo-
noPoly of the home market.
But is he content and are the wages
high? What does their determine
tion to curtaiI the output of pig iron
reveal? That the tariff protects the
wages of the American workman?
Hardly that, since he is given the OPP
ton of idleness or employment at a
% per cent wage reduction.
1t seems. then, that ito protect them
selves against competition of foreign
pig iron markets the American pro-
ducers insist that the workmen whom
the tariff protects shall consent to a
wage decrease. The laborer is expect
ed to protect the American producer
in the foreign market; the tariff pro-
teets the producer in the home mar
ket.
Obviously the tariff does not pro-
tect the wages of the American work
man, and his standard of wages is
fixed by the standard obtaining
abroad, among the men who produce
pig iron there.

country, producing annually an aver
age of 176,O0O,O0o bushels of apples fit
for the market. Last year New York
headed the list of apple-producing
states, with a total of 24,111.25T bush
els. The old Keystone state was sec
ond. with $4,000 bushels less than her
sister commonwealth. California,
famed for her fruit, had less than A.
100000, while her production was more
than doubled by Old Virginia. 1t is n
matter worthy aof note that the lat
ter's apples command the highest
prices, principally because its famous
Albemarle pippin and other fine speci-
mems are so popular. Michigan, Ohio
and Kentucky used to be the banner
apple-growing states, but other com
monwealths have been paying more
attention to this industry and have
planted large numbers Rofi trees. Gov
.ernment statistics show that Califor-
MAS various orchard crops are the
most valuable of any state, the high
price brought by much of her fruit
being due to its excellent appearance.
This fact should give our farmers n
cue. 1t is reasonable to infer that
our apples would bring higher prices
if they were more. uniformly perfect.

Apple Statistics.

Word comes from France and Eng
land that the European fruit crop is
a failure and American fruit is in
great demand there. Reports from
the various states Indicate that there
will be at least fairly good yield of
apples and pears in this country.
This condition of affairs calls atten-
ton to the value of orcharding. The
American orchard is ''some pump
kins" as a commercial asset and it
should be reckoned with accordingly.
In the past we have exported over
5000. 900 bushels of apples, and that
does not begin TO represent the sur
plus of the fruit. Oftimes many bush
els of apples are allowed to decay in
the field because of inaccessibility to
railroads and market, or through the
Indifference and lack OF enterprise on
the part of the owner. If the govern
ment reports are accurate there are
about 200,OO0,OoO apple trees in the
