That old ogre OF the yellow East--the
powagcr Empress of Tsi-An--would
ave it no other way than that Miss
Roosevelt should pass night or two I'M
er the roof Of the Imperial Palace.
When she returned to her home in
Washington, Miss Roosevelt conhded to
er friends that one of the most enjoy
bic incidents in the trip to the Philip
ines and back was her visit and friendly
hat with the Great Old Woman of the
fellow Millions.
OF course, while at the Court of Pc
Tin, les~- members of the Imperial
family were made known to her.

4 from Plymouth to the British capital in
the royal carriage. AT the dinner given
in her honor by Ambassador and Mrs.
Reid, King Edward set all precedent
aside and paid Mrs. Longworth the deli
cate compliment of requesting that she
be seated at the table in the place of
honor-that is, at his left. Thus it came
about that one whose only title is that
of plain, everyday Mrs, took rank over
the whole of Britain's proud nobility.
When the dinner was over, and the Ia
dies left the table. it was King Edward
himself who accompanied Mrs. Long
worth to the door, and as she passed
through it, bowed in the most courtly
fashion.
During Ascot week, the King took
particular pains to honor the Long
worths further, inviting them into the
royal enclosure and having them as his
guests of honor at luncheon in the
Kings pavilion. 1t is coveted honor to
be invited into the enclosure, and % be
asked to take luncheon with the KiTg
in his pavilion would serve 10 put few
members of Englands nobility in the sew
enth heaven.
How did Mrs. Longworth take these
honorse Like true American, as was
to be expected. The English newspaper
writers noted, with evident mild wonder, |
that she was thoroughly at case, una
Dashed, and absolutely democratic in the
presence of their August monarch and
the proudest of his mobiles. They re-
corded that when she courtesied to the
King on being introduced, she did so
without the least suggestion of servility;
and the ease with which she entered into
the conversation with His Majesty as
soon as they we're seated at table is still
food for thought in Merrie England,
which holds more than one noble of an
Gent lineage who shows the embarrass-
ment of servility when il chances that it
is "up to him" to speak with his king.
London was undeniably favorably inn
pressed with its young and charming
guest.
In the same wholesome democratic
spirit Mrs. Longworth was presented to
and paid 4 visit to the Kaiser at his very
earnest solicitation. This was at Kiel,
while the regatta, which lies close to the
War Lords heart, was az its height
One Of tn. srst things that Mrs. Long
worth did after the presentation was to
thank the Kaiser personally for the gold |
bracelet set with diamonds and his por- 4
trait which he had presented to her |
through his brother, Prince Henry, at the {
time the yacht Meteor was launched.

Frank Z. Ellickson,
Secretary of the Faribault Agricultu-

Nv dear Mr.. Ellickson:-Reply-
ing to your letter of May Pin some
unaccountable way the impression
seems to have got abroad that / Have
il in for Congressman McCleary. /
wish to state that such is by no means
the case: For dm personally and for
his ability 1 have the highest regard.
Candor compels me to state, however,
that do not think ne comes any
nearer representing the great repubii-
can majority OF this great republican
state, or The republican majority in
bis district Oh the subject Of tariff
revision or reciprocity than I do OF
representing tie views OF the people
Of South Africa in the British
Parliament. He is kept in congress
from his district not on account OF his
views on this subject but ia spite OF
them.
Ny views on these subjects are well
known. We believe that there should
be an IMMEDIATE revision OF the
tariff so as to conform to the following
conditions:
The tariff on all trust controlled
products should be abolished or so
reduced as to permit competition from
outside countries.
Lumber, fish, print paper and paper
pulp should be put on the free list.
The tariff on all commodities sold
cheaper abroad than at home should
be reduced at least to the extent of the
cheaper foreign and dearer home price.
The tariff on luXuries, such as silks,
diamonds, fine cloths, champagnes
and similar articles should be
maintained and DO exemptions should
be made for personal use.
That protective tariff should be
maintained on all products not con-
trolled by trusts equal to the difference
in the cost of production at home and
abroad.
That reciprocity is a fundamental
principle of republicanism. That
reciprocity is mutually of conces-
sions between nations and not a
mutually of bluffing.
That some protective tariffs should
be reduced or removed and whenever
this condition exists it is wise to
secure similar concessions on the part
of foreign countries for sucn removal.
That whenever reciprocity is worth
more to the country as whole than
tariff the tariff should be sacrificed for
the sake of reciprocity.
am willing to affirm these PROPOSE

Doa-Watch on shippoard.

Dog-watch is corruption of dodge
watch, and is the name given to two
short watches of two hours each on
shipboard-one from 4 to p. m. and
the other from to 8 p. m. The dog
watches were introduced to prevent
the same men from always keeping
watch at the same hours of the day;
hence on these occasions the sailors
are said to dodge the routine. or TO bs
doing dodgc-watch.

A Tribute to the Farmer.

A distinguished scholar and farmer
is quoted in the Worlds Work as hav-

whole, just tribute to the farmer:
Farming is a profession requiring
more shrewdness than law, more tech

rightness than theology, more brains
and resourcefulness than pedagogy.
The other professions are parasites. .
