A laughable account is given by the
Kingman Leader-Courier of the trou-
bles of young married couple from
Pratt County. Kan. They had gone
to Kingman to be married, and in
tended to go East on a wedding trip.
After they had entered the train, the
husband alighted for something, and
the train went off and left him. His
bride had neither money nor tickets.
She was frantic, but some of the pas
sengers sought to console her. At the
first station she got off. 1t was night.
but she managed to find a farmer who
agreed to carry her back to Kingman
in his wagon. They arrived so late
in the night that all the hotels and
other places were closed, but the farm
er managed to find refuge for the
bride at the home of family. In the
meantime, the husband had learned
that there would be no train out of
Kingman the next day, which was
Sunday He wired TO Hutchinson that
he was coming by buggy, but his wife
was not at Hutchinson to receive the
telegram. He made a long night drive
to Hutchinson, but found no one there
who knew anything about the lost
bride. BY Sunday. however. an ex-
change Of kilograms was managed,
and on Monday the husband came
back to Kingman. He was met at
the depot by his grief-stricken wife

BALFOUR WANTS CHANGE
IN FISCAL POLICY
Says Those Who Advocate
Continuance of Free Trade
Are Foolish

London. sept 1G-After the cabinet
meeting Premier Balfour issued the
advance sheets of a pamphlet on the
subject OF "Insular Free Trade" IN
which he presents at length arguments
IN favor of a change in Great Britain's
fiscal policy
The arguments presented through
out the pamphlet vary little from those
already enunciated, but the premier
points out that as a result OF Eng
land's policy OF retaining a fiscal pol

crease. while others show symptoms
OF decay. The premier asserts that
there is no reason to expect an i'm
provement. Meanwhile Germany,
America, France, Russia. and even
Great Britains self-governing colonies
continue to build up a protected inter.
est within their borders.
Mr.. Balfour says the mistakes made
by the free traders half century ago
have left Great Britain bearing all the
burdens and enjoying only half the
advantages which should attach to the
empire He devotes considerable
space TO the effect Of protection upon
combinations in countries in which
protection exists. This, the premier.
points out, is TO the disadvantage OF
the British manufacturer, who is un.
able to compete with the manufacturer
who is able to sell abroad al a lower
price than he charges for the same
article az home He gives an instance
OF German steel in this particular,
saying that II Is selling cheaper in
England than the English manufact.

Mr. Balfour declares that the opli
