decline, assert that the bulk of the
American flour trade in their country
is at an end, but Mr.. Hutchinson does
not agree with them.
Trade In North Brazil.
After thorough investigation he he
lieves that, while our trade with CEN
tral and southern Brazil is perhaps at
an end, due to the competition of Arg
entine and to the larger use of -four
mills in Brazil there is no reason why
our flour exports to the northern part
Of that vast country should not con-
tinue to grow at rapid rate. He
concludes that our flour exports to
Brazil have reached their lowest fig
ure, and then says:
1--WE have been driven from the
southern market, where conditions are
strongly against us. We are likely tc
continue to lose ground in the mid
coast ports, where advantages are
likewise with our competitors; but we
may expect an increase in the entire
vast region from Pernambuco to Man.
aos and beyond. The figures since 100;
are not as discourag ging as they seem
to be on their face, and the great de-
crease of 1905 as compared with 1904
is explained by the fact that 1894 was
an off year in our general export flour
trade"

TWO PHARlSEES.

A Pharisee of gracious mein who
loved of all men to be seen, once to
the temple took his way to pose before
the world and pray. And lifting up
his cunning eyes towards the bright
and sunny skies he gave loud thanks
the story ran-he was not like the
publican.
The Pharisee OF whom you've read
has for long time been dead; but in
his place in ev'ry land some other
Pharisee viii stand, and standing thus
will pray aloud-not to the Father, but
to the crowd-and then imagine he is
viewed with honor by the multitude.
A man with overwhelming gall who
answers to the name Mccall, swiped
fifty thousand plunks or more belong
ing to Che widows store. and gave it
to sleek campaign in hopes to add
unto his gain, but raised his pious eyes
on high and prayed-and worked graft
on the sly.
Thank Cod" he said, az did not
swerve, but strove our honor to pre-
serve" And as he prayed his pockets
bulged with wealth secured by schemes
divulged despite his loud emphatic plea
that none were quite so pure as he.
And with nerve sublime he tried to
point to his career with pride.
The Pharisee of olden time has long
since struck another cline, and all the
world declares with vim tbs surely hot
enough for him. The Pharisee who
grateful feels because the profits of
his steals were spent to further other
schemes will sometimes feel just how
it seems.
MORAL:
This life is full of guile and strife
But graft turks in the New York Life.

was dubbed "Chaunce de Peach, !"
stood forth upon the stump with fears
and voice choked full of sobs and
tears, and said: 80, friends, alas,
alack; the nations doomed to bally-
hackI
THAT is, to say, tbs doomed to die
unless the people quickly fly to such as
me relief to find and do not those dis
turbers mind who say that graft and
loot abound the whole financial world
around. The men Ike me would gladly
give their lives that this great state
might live.
Don't listen to such men-hear
mel Don't heed walls of calamity.
The men who run on high finance are
men who never lose, a chance to work
for the republics veal, and for your
ev'ry trouble feel. Rely on us-we'n
save the state and will preserve its
homer great"
All this he said, and vastly more,
and on his honor loudly swore that
honest men like him should be set up
to guard sweet liberty. But one fine
day the news reveals some mighty big
insurance steals. And people chased
him to the woods and caught ''De
Peach" with all the goods.
MORAL:
A search of such men will disclose
