The price of wheat and oats is still
falling and yet these cereals are pro-
tected by the tariff, with Is cents a
bushel on wheat and Is cents a bushel
on oats. How does the tariff protect
the farmer when the price Of his
products is not increased thereby or
even made stable and the cost of
everything he buys is vastly increased
by the trusts and combines which are
fostered and protected by the tariff?
Will the farmers vote to stand pat at
the coming election when they elect
congressman and members Of the leg
islature, who will elect senator's? To
vote for Republicans means to con.
.inue the tariff %plundering, to vote for
Democrats means tariff revision.

Falliere's Anecdote.

Among the numerous stories being
told of the new French president is
one relating to a banquet at which he
presided. A piece Of money dropped
from his pocket, and a neighbor said
he thought 1t was a two-franc piece.
LET it be-" M. ,Fallieres replied; ut
will be a good find for the waiter"
and he whispered to that individual
to look out for the money. Later on
M. Fallieres was seen by his neighbor
to let a two-franc piece slide down
gently on to the floor. He explained
to his friend that he had found that
he kept only coppers in the pocket
from which the piece supposed to be
two-franc had dropped, and so, in or.
der not to- d~isappoint the waiter, had
dropped on the floor what was really
a two-franc piece. He thought he had
not been observed.-Londcn Tele.

she shuddered and stepped back.
What is it? What is it," she whis-
pered, clasping her hands. And with
all the color gone from her cheeks she
peered trembling into the corners and
towards the door. "TherA is no n

she felt a grain of suspicion, a grain
of doubt, my bearing must have opened
her eyes. But her mind was cast in SO
noble a mould, that having once
thought i'll of me and been converted,
she could feel no doubt again. 1t was
her nature to trust all in all. So, a lit

When over the fair name of friend or foe
The shadows of disgrace shall fall; instead
Ofwords of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet

Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,

In ways of sympathy, no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorified,

And by the cross on which the Saviour bled,
And by your own souls hope of fair renown.

Soft Coal Smoke in cities.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A scientific investigator in Cincln'
natl has been trying to arrive at a
definite idea of the amount of SCOT
deposited in the city in the course
Of a year. One Of his tests was to
place buckets three.fourths filed with
water on II roofs in different parts
Of the city. At the end of three
months a careful analysis was made
of the contents Of the buckets to as
certain the amount of carbonaceous
mater. The final computation is that
in the downtown area the falling SCOT
amounts to 541 tons month, or IS
tons daily. On a square. mile of the
city the SCOT deposit is III tons a
month, or 3,72S pounds, an average
of several pounds to each inhabitant'
In one of the suburbs the SCOT In the
bucket was AGA grams to the square
foot for period Of 30 days. For the
same time the deposit at a central
point in the city was 1880 grams to
the square foot.
Other cities that burn soft coal
need not fatter themselves that they
fare much better. A glance out at
the windows tells the story. In many
parts of a sooty city the trees and
flowers are coated with CRIME and Off
en- refuse to grow. The SMOKE cloud
Injuries health in several ways, one
of which is the shutting out of the
sunlight that destroys disease germs.
That SCOT is deposited in human lungs
is a fact well knewn to surgeons.
These figures were laid before a
smokesabatement league meeting in
Cincinnati a few days ago, and it was
resolved to ask the next legislature
for more stringent antismoke laws
The present methods of smoke abate'
ment are vlsibly unsatisfactory, and
the opinion is widely held that relief
must come through some means not
yet attained.
