 And then" according to tho author of late book. "a wild shriek rent the air"
 And:
 ''The two people hiding behind the lilac bushes felt their blood curdle."
 And:
 Again came the wild. weird shriek."
 And:
 Looking into each others faces they found them the color of marble"

 ''That sound again--that terrifying sound which made the heart stand still and the listeners to gasp for breath"
 And:
 With a moan of despair Aspasia slowly sunk on the cold earth and Har- old stood looking at her like one struck dumb.
 And then. after an interval of ten minutes:
 "All of a sudden 1t came to them that the sounds were produced by a mother licking her ten-year-old son for drink ing up the molasses on his way home from the grocery. and life went on with them in the same happy strain as of yore. Life is full of such mistakes, though, and one can't be too careful about getting the labels mixed

A BLOW AT DINGLEYIsM.
Mir. Roosevelt's Canal Purchase Policy
 nm Eye-Opener.

nm Eye-Opener.
 New York World.
 There is crape on the door of the American Protective Tariff Association. The mourners of the Home Market Club are sobbing pitifully beltnd the drawn shutters. Low moans of anguish es- cape from the pallid lips of Wilbur F. down the furrowed cheeks of Gin'ral Charles Henry Grosvenor. The Adminis- tration has been and gone and done 1t
 The irrevelent may jeer at the grief market order for Panama Canal ma. terials, but 1t Is a very real grief nevertheless, and ought to be respected: When the Government of the United by its own tariff ff-fattened manufactu- rers it is setting a most pernicious ex- ample to its citizens. In fact ,the standpatters may justly. charge the volt against the Dingley schedules. Certain sons of Belial in Washington who sympathize with the Taft order are reported by The Tribune as saying road. which would cost $3S ton here, can be purchased abroad for $20 a ton, and that they will be made by the same company in either case. This is only another way of saying that the Steel Trust would charge the govern ment SIS a ton more than 1t charges its foreign customers. Last fall the pool was selling rails delivered at Eng mestic price was s2s. If the govern ment were restricted to the home mar ket in buying rails for the Panama Railway 1t would have to pay any price the pool saw fit to demand.
 It is not likely that much foreign material will be bought for the Pana- ma Canal, in spite of the Taft order. The Government Is simply going into nrlr hxy same rate to the United States that they make to foreign customers Ameri- can manufacturers can get all the con tracts. They will doubtless find 1t just as profitable to do their dumping in Panama as in Liverpool and Ham burg.
 This of course is not the real griev- ance of the stand-patters. It Is the souls. If the government will not submit to Dingleyized extortion why must its citizens submit1 This ques" tion will be asked with perplexing fre- destructive of the stand-patters' peace of mind. It seems to be destroying their common sense too.
 Grosvenor, for example, complains in one breath against the Taft order and in another breath declares that "the country would rather pay little more for something that was made at home" If the Ohio Congressman believed his the Panama order. If the people really preferred to pay more for some- thing made at home they would do so whether there was a protective tariff or not. No Dingleyite would then be concerned as to where the government bought it's Panama materials unless he happened to lose a contract to a for eign competitor. It Is the fact that people do not prefer to pay extortionate prices for things made at home which worries the extreme protectionists.
 They see in the action of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft new en- couragement for the revisionists, and they are right. The Panama order is the hardest blow dealt to Dingleyism since President McKinleys Buffalo speech.

 My first day In India, said the tou- rist, T was surprised when l awoke in the morning to feel how smooth my face was.
 "By love- said, how. slowly my beard grew yesterday. I hardly need to shave today.
 Tt is, however, a matter of religion with me to shave every morn ing, ana so I bade the native servant a man provided by my host, to fetch my shaw ing things. The native smiled.
 :" But you are already shaved ST. he said. ,sI
 "Yes, slr,' he answered. I shaved you while. you slept. That Is the GUS tom here
 T found that he was right: I found that in India these wonderful native servants shave their masters in bed every morning without waking them.
 All through my stay in India l was shaved like that. It was almost enough to keep me in that hot and nor rid country forever"

The saddest Sight.

Kansas City Journal.
 What is the most distressing thing you ever saw in a court -room?" was the question propounded to a group of lawyers recently, as they sat together in the office of one of their number One told of hearing judge pass sem tence of death on a woman; another told of the scene between mother and son as she bid. her boy good-by for the last time before he started to serve a ten years sentence in the penitenti- ary, and as the question went round the circle each related a story of court scenes. Almost the last one in the group said: Gentlemen, the saddest thing l ever witnessed in a courtroom was when a healthy. strong, handsome man and woman, with a group of bright, intelligent boys and girls, their children. appeared before a circuit judge. the one plaintiff. the other de- fendant in a divorce suit. The look of distress on the faces of those inno- cent children as they sat and listened to the. criminations and recriminations of their parents, intent on breaking up what had been happy home, was the saddest sight l ever witnessed

 The Philadelphia Record. has an exceedingly hard time trying to keep it's opinion of Governor Pennypacker on straight"
 The Governor is a man so genial in private life, so clear-headed and straight-gonig in small matters and so unexpectedly and damnably wrong in matters of great pith and moment, that his stanchest friends no more know where to find him than his avowed enemies.
 He is a human enigma whose most remarkable vagary is perhaps the cN altation of the most successful poll tical land pirates of his time as models of statecraft His latest exploit is the veto of appropriations for monuments to gallant soldiers like Anthony Wayne. Hancock and Hartranft at the same time he approved an appropriation for a monument to the late Matthew Stan ley Quay!

Occasionally an esteemed Northern contemporary of the Republican per- suasion makes a timely and candid ad- mission on a matter that has been the cause of much and acrld discussion. Thus The Portland (Ore,) Telegram tells it's readers that Negro lynchings in the North. in proportion to the num- ber of negroes in both sections. are more common than in the South" This is as candid as it Is truthful. and it is a statement that its political brethren up North are not in the habit of making. Further, we feel perfectly safe in say ing that if the North had as large a negro population in proportion to the whites as the South has. the number of Iynchings there would be largely in excess of those in this section. We have not a shadow of doubt of this.

Need of Riae Range.

The movement on foot for a modern rine range ie a movement to be con sidered in all seriousness by our peo- pie. said a prominent military man yesterday. The belief that Euro peans have that every American is an export with the rife and revolver IS hollow mockery as I take 1t. Fifty years ago the belief was well founded. In those days America was not nearly IS thickly settled as 1t Is now and game was abundant. Every male owned a gun and was a proficient marksman: Tn these days of the big city populations, there are thousands of Americans, whose shoulder has never felt rifle and there are thousands of others who know hardly more than how to pull the trigger Americas success in war fare and the success of every nation depends on the markmanship of It's men. No matter how we'll disciplined and drilled a body of soldiers may be, they can't stand the racket against an untrained army of marksmen. Packen- hams trained army fell easy victims to Jackson's Tennessee and Kentucky rangers at New Orleans and rifles are worthless if the soldiers cannot shoot with accuracy. Let us help this rife range proposition"

Words as to Knockers.

Tt makes me tried" said we'll known Montgomery baseball fan at the telegraphic matinee yesterday after noon "to hear the way some people talk about baseball teams. If Mont gomery loses. they get @ rost. If they win, 1t is passed over with casual mention. You will find a great many people who patronize the great Ameri- can game expect the home team to win every game and when the local team loses, they begin to roast. Such a theoretical condition. it will be seen at once, would break up baseball everywhere it is played. Some one has to lose and baseball is game of chance. although ability is a great feature towards winning a game. The best baseball teams, too, get hold Of a losing streak or a bunch of tough luck sometimes and lose several games in a stretch, but that is not the opportunity for Knocking" Baseball players, for the most part. are doing their best to win the game for their team and when they do their best and the team loses, adverse criticism and knocking does not help matters and merely tends to make them discouraged and careless whether they please or not.

netghbors abroad. GroSvenor evil dently looked on the Republican Party as the country" and thought he was speaking for 1t. but Roosevelt and Taft have knocked that satisfaction out of him. As for that part of the country which really will pay for the canal. we think 1t safe to say that it would pre- fer having the work done as cheaply as possible, even if that course knocks the profits from some of the tariff pro- tected industries Ifere at home. But The Mail-to refer to 1t again-declares very emphatically that the administra. tion's policy will not be carried out. IL asserts that the American wage earner is the American taxpayer" and declares that If he pays the bill for building the Panama Canal, he is going to have the product of his labor and his skill utilized in preference to that of his foreign competitor"
 He is. eh? How is he to do 1t if the administration and the Canal Commis- sion adhere to their expressed deter imitation to purchase supplies and ma terials in the cheapest market? Does the aforesaid American wage earner' propose to hold up the Government and force it to buy everything at home? If not. We fail to see upon what The Mail bases its positive assurance that it will not be done" referring to the pur- chase of foreign goods.

refined character on the stage. The
Hohenstauffen of your creation has the
culture of the university, the high
breeding of the court. the courage of

ness of the perfect gentleman. Every
thing you did. every gesture, every pose
came from within, from clear subtle,
and strong conception of the character.
In 10 instance did you overstep the
modeSty of nature. From first to last
you were absolutely consistent. neither
too much nor TOO little. neither flood
nor drouth. but maintained for every
