He was fine. big fellow, handsome, but
just bit surly. Too much golf was the
reason Of that, figured. He played thirty
six holes day. and that is too much for any
man as a regular diet.
THE widow was sure enough charmer.
Every one liked her immensely and fell
an early victim to her wiles, which we're Of
a very complex order. Do you remember
the woman Eugene Field described? She
had

THAT was my friend the widow, and she
was wonder. Not being silly, she gave
her favor to the little fellow with the big
bank account and placed the good looking
but poor young golfer on her intimate
friend list. 1t broke him UP badly, poor
fellow, and he was about to leave for the
East. when events took turn that changed
his mind entirely

golf on the island, and stayed to supper.
The widow and the little fellow we're at the

was no one else there that night.
sThe last boat for the mainland left at
8 o'clock, and all Of us were on board early.
The craft was about the size Of q medium
North River tug, and had little gasoline
engice to run 1t.
Il remember that fact very well. for we
we're the last to come on board, and the big
golfer wouldn't go forward because his
rival, the widow and the man from Sacra-
mento were up there. So We had to take
that gasoline smell most of the way home.
1T was lonely trip, for my companion
was down in the dumps and didn't say
word. I was glad when We we're half a

when the thaws came I pulled up stakes
and made for a certain little slice of Gods

and getting my share Of sunshine and

on the shore Of certain big river, which
I won't mention for fear Of your recog-

"A mile up the river was an island which

"When got there and was able to lcok

going on at the hotel. Two young fellows
were paying about all the attention you
can squeeze into twenty -four hours to a
young widow there.

struck the water fifty feet away.

opened and the stranger walked out on the
beach to seek the man who had broken

Women work in the German mi ncs and
on the German railways. They are In
shipping. building and metal work, and OF
course they toll on the farms. doing In
many cases, especially in South Germany,
pretty much the same work as the men.
The women are officially stated to amount
to "a per cent. OF all the persons engaged
In farm work.
In his book on "Woman and Socialism.
published some years ago, Ferdinand
August Bebel asks indignantly II 1t Is not
an inspiring sight to see women at railway
stations pushing heavily laden wheelborrows
In competition with male employees.
1t is no worse. however, as he suggests,
than to SEQ them mixing mortar, carrying
bricks and cement and drawing heavy

Is natural; 1t is duty.
From the same Teutonic point Of view
the servant girl has no wrongs. She may
arise at in tho morning to wash and iron;
she may scrub the floors and polish metal
work all the afternoon and darn stockings
all evening; she may live on dry bread and
soup; she may sleep on a cot in a stuffy
closet; nobody thinks anything Of 1t.
The agitation Is all over the sorts and
grades OF work which take girls and women
away from the home, which leave them un-
skilled in household work and economy
which make them impatient OF the restraint
and monotony Of home life, and which.
by undermining their health unfit them for
motherhood.
Still more complaint is there Of the in
dustrialism which takes married women
away from their homes every day to help
earn the family livelihood. 1t is noted with
alarm by students Of the subject that while
the number Of wage earning unmarried
women increased only "a per cent. between
1882 and 1895, the number Of married ones
increased 4S per cent.

The work goes on to explain that the
activity OF women in many of these trades
is purely mechanical and bears little rela-
ton to the real art. Often they are mere
helpers. In many cases, as slate roofes.

they are independent operators and have
inherited the trades which they pursue
usually through widowhood-from men.
That this is not always true is shown by
other tables in the same compilation, From
these we find that there are employed in the
empire i20 girls under IL years of ago il

The movement has not been quite go
marked since, but the general condition
still continues. Many remedies have been
proposed. The most sweeping was the pro-
hibition Of all factory work by married
women.
This was at once met with the argument
that it would lead to disastrous moral re-
suits; with mems wages SO low as they are,
it was pointed out, numerous couples would
be likely to omit the marriage ceremony
in order that the legal barrier against the
woman's wage earning might not hold
good.

CaRada'S Treatment of U.
 $. Products
The Trade Above the Line Is BecOm. ing an Important Feature of the American Commerce.

Washington. June 1S- Canadas increasing consumption of products of the United States continues to be a notable feature of American com merce. Figures just compiled by the department of commerce and labor, through it's bureau of statistics, show that exports from the United States to the Dominion of Canada grew from $51, ,903.579 in the ten months ending with April, 1897, to $104, 4,155,S S93 in the ten months ending with April, 1904. and to $114,943,O79 in the correspond ing period of 1905. The increase here noted is but a continuation of the growth which, with trifling exceptions. has characterized our trade with Can ada since 1870. During the period from 1855 to 1866 reciprocity treaty was in operation between the United ! States and Canada; from 1867 to 1897 commerce between the two countries was unaffected by special trade ar | ran gements; from April, 1897, to Au- gust, 1898, the United States was plac- ed at a slight disadvantage as com ! pared with the United Kingdom, pro- ducts from that country entering the Dominion of Canada being admitted ! at a reduction of 12 1-2 per cent as compared with the duties charged on ! importations from the United States. | On August 1. 1898, this reduction in ! favor of the United Kingdom was in ] creased to 25 per cent and on July 1.
 19cO was still further increased to 1 B 1-3 per cent
 1 The popularity or American goods. however, in conjunction with the ad- vantages of contiguity. has served to ! maintain and even increase the vol ume of exports from the United States ! to Canada, despite the varying con
 ditions to Va oh our trade with that country has been subjected. In the i fiscal year 1855. the first year of reel ! procity with Canada. our exports to | that country were S27. TAI. sos iH value {; in 1866. the closing year of the reel l prOcity period. S24, ,S2S. .SSO. In 1897, the year which inaUgurated the policy by
 which Great Britain and certain Of her colonies were given the benefit of a ! special reduction in duties charged
 upon impOrtatiOns into Canada. our ] exports to that country were $64 92S-
 S21, and each succeeding year has
 shown an increase the total in 1904
 having been S131.274.346. while for the present fiscal year, should May and June equal the record made by April
 last, the total will be in excess oi
 s1E0,0OO, 0O0.
 Meantime imports into the United States from Canada have also grown
 though at a much slower pace. Fol
 the fiscal year 1S55 the total value
 of imports was S15118289; in 1875
 s27 S67. .6I5; in 1895, $36,574,S27 1T

 Thus. both as regards imports ana

exports. our trade with Canada in the present fiscal year has broken all pre- vious records.
 The values of the principal articles imported into the United States from Canada during the ten months ending with April. 1905, were: Boards and other sawed lumber. $S,OOOOOO; coal bituminous, $2.5OO 900; copper pigs bars, etc, $2.S33, 900; wood pulp. 2,20O, 900; hides and skins, s2100, 900; copper, ore, matte, and regulus, $1,- 125,000: and furs and skins, undressed, S1,0OO, GOO. Other important items, importations of which were less than $1, ,000 000 each, were horses, tea. art works, combing wool, leaf tobacco. distilled spirits and flax.
 The above figures are from the of ficial reports of the department of commerce and labor. and differ some what from the corresponding state ments of the Canadian government The statistics from the two sources fully confirm. however, the general statement that Canada is increasing ! her imports from the United States
 even more rapidly than her exports 1 to this country.

St Paul. Tune 1S-Life insurance policies aggregating sS,OOO on the life of Lima Christianson, who was killed in Minneapolis, Dec. It, 1904. by Fred Richardson, have been settled by the two companies involved, the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co., carrying S5,000, and the Travellers Insurance Co.,, carrying $3,00O
 The companies expected a 70 per cent settlement. This settlement was made after a vain attempt to secure a jury. Thirteen men were examined and each said he believed the mur- derer was insane at the time he com mitted the deed. As this was the ba- sis of the plaintiff's case. the attOr- neys for the companies refused to ac- Cept them.
