New Year and stick to it, and see If
it wouldn't put some spunk into
him"
Pretty soon she went home. l
could see she was real kind of trou-
bled. She always did think good
deal of Lemucl in spite of every
thing.
The next day was New Years. and
in the afternoon Mehitable came in
again. She didn't have her SEWN as
she generally did, she was very in
dustrious woman. She jest set down
and begun twisting the fringe of her
shawl as if she was real nervous. Her
face was puckered up. too. Il don't
know what TO make of Lemuel," said
she. finally.
"Why. what's the natter" said /.
''lIe says he's made a resolution
for the New Year" said she, and
that he's goin' to keep it,"
"Well. what is it?" said i.
81 dunno" said she.
"Well, if it's good one you don't
care, do you?" said ]. ''and il couldn't
be anything but good one il my
brother made it,"
Il dunno what it is" said she.
"Won't he tell?"
"No. he won't. I can't get word
out of him about IT. lie don't ect
like himself"
Well. / must say I never saw such
change as come over Mehitable and
Lemuel after that. lie wouldn't tell
what his resolution was, and she
couldn't make him. though she al
most went down on her knees. II
| began TO seem as il she was fairly
| changing characters with Lemuel,

self morc'n ever at first. tryin' TO
force him to tell what the resolu-
ton was. Then she give that up, and
she never asked him where he was
goin'. an he could come in my house
an set jest as long as he wanted to.
and she bought him a short-tailed
coat and some store collars and
shirts. and he looked like another
man. He got to stayin' down 10 the
store nights. au' talkin' politics with
the other men real loud. heard
him myself one night and couldn't
believe il wa. Lernuel.
Well. Lemu.l he never gave in. and
he never told till the next New Years

TREATIES ON RECIPROCITY.
Prove n Failure-The Protection The
DRY II breaking Down with
lite Own Weight.

In making treaties with foreign
countries. the administration, eyi-
IDENTIFY, does not understand the COLI
ditions that exist about the CONNER
cial matters that the treaties are
drawn up TO cover.
The latest treaty TO receive
black eye is that concluded by the
state department with Newfoun1-
land which those interested in the
fishing industry of the New England
coast claim is disastrous to their in
terests. The opposition OF some
senator's to the treaty is SO decided
that it will, like the French treaty
and others, be either laid aside, or, u
brought to a vote, will undoubtedly
be defeated. These treaties are ali
supposed 10 be made by the rule II
reciprocity-that is, some one or
some interest must suffer to open ou-
markets 10 some foreign production
The foreigner will not open his door
unless we will open our door to the
same extent. Therefore reciprocity
and protection do not work smoothly
together. For il the door is opened
by reciprocity. even little bit. some
protected industry feels a draught
and at once protests that i; VIII oe
made sick and perish if the door Is
not promptly closed.
Trying TO amend the protective
tariff by the roundabout way OF re-
ciprocity is proving an utter failure,
or else the republican management
of the state department is not equal
TO the occasion. All of the important
treaties that have been arranged
since the prohibitive tariff was enact
ed have not been enacted by the SEN
ate and there is no probability that
any of them will be.
The trusts will. in the future as II
the past. if they continue 10 manu-
facture surplus. be compelled TO sell
at n far less price to the foreigner
than the protective tariff allows
them to exact from our own people.
Certain trusts would be glad TO see
a treaty ratified that would open for
eign markets 10 their products. bu'
the equivalent reduction demanded
by the foreigner on the other pre-
ducts. pinches the toes of another
trust and interferes with its mon
opoly so that no agreement can be
arrived at.
Monopoly of the home market AMI
enormous profits for trusts is the
principle upon which the protective
tariff rests and any competition from
outside breaks down the theory and
practice which supports IL.

 Have you ever considered that in Lawrence, Jackson, Randolph and Independence counties more than $70 to every man, woman and child has been paid for pearls and shells2 This is more than the per capita of U. s. circulating curren- cy, and this in only four counties.

The law creating the Newark special school district will be pub lished in The Journal next week.

This law does not say the district shall erect q building, but only makes provisions for 1t to do so, and the erection of the building will therefore rest solely in the hands of the men whom the peo- pie may elect as directors.

DIR. MYERS VIEWS
Champion of Mussel Legislation
 Gives His Side of the Much Talked-of Question.
Editor Newark Journal.

JulOOT NcWdTk JOuTIldl.
 As we take your paper I assume that 1t is only just that my side of the shell and pearl matter be heard. How easy 1t is to criticize others. But, to the facts.
 The pearl button business is in its infancy and yet the supply of shells is actually exhausted in the North. The wisest men of that section, foreseeing the rapid de- struction of the beds, tried to get congress to protect them, but there was the same ignorance to contend with there, and now over 100 fac tories are shut down for want of shells. They must either come to Arkansas or ship their shells from here there. Unless protected, our wonderful beds will be exhausted in less than six years. Black riv- CT is practically exhausted now.
 What will Newark do with a button factory with no shells2 Can Mir. Magness afford to put in a plant at a cost of S3, or S4, 900 to run couple of yearsl
 If properly protected the spawn ing beds would indefinitely supply the demand. When destroyed many years will be required to re- produce them. 1 want to make my position plain, viz: You can't protect the pearl hunter and the shell hunter at the same time, as the mucket spawns in April and May, which were closed in my first bill, to allow the famous pearl-bearer protection. The nig- ger-head, the great button shell, spawns earlier, and some of them at all seasons, and as the building of button factories was considered of more importance than the pearls, and a greater revenue would be derived from them by all classes, we thought it best to give them the preference. The first bill was made too drastic by the senate. The amendment bill modified the first by allowing the crow-foot and dredge in all waters over seven feet deep and would have worked no hardship on any one.
 The slurs weekly heaped upon the legislature are puerile, very foolish and smell of sour grapes.
 By corresponding with the Smithsonian Institution or the U. $. Fish and Fisheries Commission you will get an abundance of wis dom to show that the mussel and shell industry without protection will soon be gone. That is mat ter of vital interest to our state. Next to the agricultural and tim Der interests, 1t is the greatest source of revenue in Arkansas. Yet you say nothing should be done; let the people destroy it if they wish. Do you know that in producing finished buttons one ton of shells make S110.0O paid to la- Dor, while we only get S10 to SIP for the raw material. If the fac tories were here we would get S110 instead of SIP.
 Do you know that the consumer pays s900 for the buttons that one ton of shells makesl Yet only SIP IS left for our part when shipped to the Northern plants to be work ed up. How much better would it be for us if the men who talk and write letters would only learn enough to think of the ridiculous attitude they place themselves in. The idea of a grown man so stupi- fled as to say that ''the second is about the same as no bill at all, !" so he favored it. And another says that we had to put in time to

HOOK OUT
 FOR MALARIA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol- low the wet season and the high waters which have prevailed all over the South. Malarial and kindred levers will develope to an alarming extent. General health conditions will be bad: every precaution should be taken.
 The system Must Especially Bs Fer. sissd to Resist nsisrIsi Attacks.
 A trial of fifty years has demonstrat- ed that for this emergency, Dr. liar. ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is the fighting element in the blood, and the kind of iron supplied by Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the system requires to successfully combat malarial conditions. Don't wait until you are attacked. Take it now and for tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard and, at the same time, it is the best tonic and invigorant for the entire sys- tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis. turbs the system and its cumulative poison begets greater physical troubles than those it is employed to remedy.
