THINGS THAT WENT WRONG
Mr.. Glossop's Experiences Under the

Mr.. Glossop was a retail mer-

was doing good business, but at
the age of "A an uncomfortable de-

Against the wishes of his wife
and contrary to the advice of his
friends lie sold out his business,
and with the proceeds, $4,000,
representing his entire capital, he
began to speculate.
For a period of year or two he
was successful. Everything he
touched seem to turn to money,
and at the age of 46 he was worth
$4,000.
"Ichabod," said his devoted
wife, ''it's time to stop now. Your
luck will turn some day. Let. us
put the money into a good farm
and settle down on it."

Crows In Nesting Time.

While it is fact that in places the
crow is not destructive to an important
degree, it will be a long time before he
will be considered q friend of either the
farmer or the perhaps
never. And all the arguments that
may be advanced in favor of the crow
will not save him from being shot at;
killing is different matter. While
those who have grown morbid from
reading new nature stuff go to ex-
tremes concerning crows, or anything
else for that matter, sportsmen as a
rule permit the crow to live in peace
during the nesting season. 1t is merely
question Of fairness that dictates
their actions in this. 1t stands to
reason that the sportsman who avoids
fishing during the spawning season and
protects game and game birds in the
summer will not modest crow when
it has little ones in the nest that would
starve If the old birds were killed. But
after the young birds have grown
strong enough to take care Of them
selves and all of this black race have
resumed active operations against the
agriculturist and other birds they must
take care Of themselves If found guilty
Of marauding.-Fie and Stream.

DisraeIi's Ideal of Greatness.

When Disraeli was curly and smart
and comparatively unknown, he visited
the Royal Exchange of Liverpool in
company with Duncan Stewart, a lead
ing merchant Of the city. 1t was at
high noon and the exchange was
thronged by merchants. The scene so
impressed the young member of parlia-
ment that he said to Mr.. Stewart:
my ideal of greatness would be that
q man should receive the applause Of
such an assemblage as this-that he
should be cheered as he came into this
ROOM"
Disraeli went in and came out I'M
noticed, but several years later he
again visited the Liverpool exchange
in company with Mr.. Stewart. His en-
trance was greeted by cheer which
spread into roar and ended in an
ovation. The testimony to his political
prominence deeply moved Disrael,
who, recalling to Mr.. Stewart the re-
mark he had made years before, said
my ideal test of greatness has been
realized"

KNOWN AS A FREE TRADER.
Bryan Remains the knight Errant of
Tariff Reform.


Bryan Remains the knight Errant of
Tariff Reform.
1t Is impossible to discern in the near
future any question of Importance Oh
which the Democratic party can con-
centrate with any prospect Of cohesion
except that Of the tariff. Its only
chance of positive expression is to op-
pose protectlon-in other words, to
champion low duties in the interest of
free trade. Yet when it does that 1t
will inevitably face dissension in its
own ranks, for many earnest Demo-
Gratis are sturdy believers in protection.
1t Is not fiattering to the sincerity of
the party's professions, but 1t is fact
that some Democrats stood by its ticket
In the last national campaign notwith-
standing the platform denunciation of
protection as robbery, because at heart
they did not believe the party meant it.
The like has happened before, as, for
instance, when Democrats voted the
national ticket because Grover Cleve-
land was on it and not because they
approved the platform.
Mr.. Bryan Is known as free trader.
The principal speech made by him
when a member Of congress was against
protection in any form. The platforms
on which he has stood and which have
been mainly of his making have been
hostile to protection. He has vehement
ly declared that he has nothing to take
back Of anything he has said in the
or oh, III
takably with the free traders, and
though Of late he has been silent on the
subject, explaining his course by say
| Ing he will discuss the issue later, no
| one is In any real doubt as to his views.
The point of criticism Is that he is not
straightforward in defining his position
at time when outspoken advocacy of
principle might seriously affect his
| own or his party's prospects. There Is
suggestion Of disingenuousness here
| which does not harmonic with the pro-
fessions of political honesty made in
| his behalf.
But whether Mr.. Bryan talks about
the tariff or keeps quiet on that mat
ter the record Is made, and If things so
turn as to make him again the Demo
cratic presidential nominee the coun-
try must once more face squarely the
determinaticn by the Democratic par
ty to overturn the existing economic
advantages In the form Of the marvel
Gus industrial development of the
country, the unparalleled growth Of
our foreign trade and the general pros
perity Of the people. In all proba-
bility the fight will turn chiefly on
that issue in any event, but it will be
additionally fierce with Mr.. Bryan as
the Democratic standard bearer, for
in his party's frantic efforts to have
the country forget his cheap currency
championship it will redouble its zeal
to prove him knight Grant of tariff
reform. Troy Times.

Change of Sentiment.

A significant sign of the times is the
change of sentiment in the south in
respect to the tariff. Its economic
views are now colored largely by the
new industrial conditions that have
grown up in recent years. 1t was OBJ
served that representatives of the rice
and sugar interests opposed Cuban rec
iprocity and are against the Philippine
tariff bill. The cattle raisers of Texas
are opposed to removing the duty from
foreign cattle or the duty on hides.
The state of Alabama has developed
q strong protectionist sentiment since
the building up of large factory inter-
eSts in that state. Old fashioned Dem
ocratic free trade Is still mouthed by
southern representatives in congress,
but there are Democratic free traders
even in the largest Industrial centers
of the north.-Nyack IN. " Star

story That illustrates the Position
of Tariff RefOrmers.

of Tariff RefOrmers.
In the closing hours of congress some
member in the lower house in speech
on the floor told the story of farmer
engaged in milking COW. The animal
was restless and now and then would
move backward or forward, and when
ever she did so the man kicked her vi
ciously in the stomach, all the time go
ing on with the milking. A bystander
presently expressed the opinion that
the mixer quit kicking the COW or let
go the teat."
The story was told as illustrating
the position of the Massachusetts peo-
pie toward the tariff. They are re-
ceiving the benefit, so called, of pro-
lection every day of their lives, but
continue to denounce the protective
tariff policy. SO the admonition of
the congressman to Massachusetts was
to quit kicking the tariff COW or let
go the teat."
The story strikes us as one of the
most exactly appropriate and wildly
illustrative we have ever seen and q
fine specimen of homely and strong
American humor. We are not sur
prised to find that the sensitive, SUI
perior New York Evening Post finds it
coarse and rather disgusting, but for
tunately most OF us in this country do
not carry our intellects habitually in

forth in the constitution-namely, that
the applicant must be engaged in agri-

have no occupation in conflict with our
purposes and that he or she has reach
