DIRECTORS:
Six of a Hard Winter.

That the coming winter is 60
ing to be the hardest one for the
past 20years there is an abundance
of signs to show, and among them
it may be mentioned that:
The corn husks are a foot and a
half thick, and all the stalks lean
to the west.
The geese, ducks and chickens
are growing a coat of fur under
their feathers, and are rubbing
borax OH their feet to harden them
up.
All the one-eyed owls are leav-
ing the country a month earlier
than usual, and the bob-tailed
squirrels are laying in sweet pota-
toes, as well as nuts, for winter
provisions.
The farmer who has taken the
trouble to investigate has found
that all the toadstools on the old
logs have wrinkles in them. The
last time that this happened we had
winter weather that froze the han
dies of plows.
Rabbits are sitting around with
a humped-up look to them, and
field mice have wrinkles III their
tails. If this means anything, it
means 20 degrees below zero from
November through to May.-Tyr-
one, Pa, Herald.

The Decline of St. Helena.

The island of St. Helena, the
scene of Napoleon's captivity and
death, has become, through a change
in the conditions of the world S
trade, a dwindling community.
In 1861 the island was occupied
by the Brish East India company
to whom it belonged till 1888,
when it became a British crown
colony. The East India company
placed in it a garrison, servants
and settlers, East Indians and a
number of negro slaves, the whole
population numbering about 5000.
With the opening of the Suez
canal and the substitution of steam
ers for sailing vessels. the mission
of St. Helena was gone. The
route to the east has left the South
Atlantic for the Mediterranean and
steamers bound for the Cape would
have to go far out of their way to
call at St. Helena. The popula-
ton has considerably dwindled
during the last forty years, and
whatever trade used to go to the
island has long since left it.

An unpopular man, who was
refused membership in a West End

the club secretary, demanding the

resist the chance of sending the
following reply: Sir, l have receiv-
ed your letter demanding the name
OF the man who blackballed you.
His name is Legion.

Remembers 100 Years Back.

There is living at present in st.
Peters home, Clapham, suburb of
London, England, a man named James
McNally, who is 1O7 years old, says the
New York Herald. 1t mas been veri-
fed that he was born in Kings county,
Ireland. on Feb. 10, 1897. He drifted
to England the year of Queen Vic
toria's coronation, and came from
there to the United States when 60
years old to seek his fortune, so that
as we'll as living in three centuries he
has lived in three countries.
When Colney Hatch lunatic asylum
was erected in 1851 he was employed
in building it as a scaffolder. In the
same capacity he assisted in construct
ing some of the early sky-scrapers Of
New York and Brooklyn. During the
civil war he was employed in looking
after the baggage Of northern troops
in Tennessee. When so years old he
returned to England with $1,000, part
of which he invested in a home for his
granddaughter. He was able to pro-
vide for himself until he reached the
aged of 90. The effect Of his extraor-
binary age on him is now quite dis
cernible.
A recent attack of influenza deprived
him of the use Of his legs, and with
only a solitary tooth left his speech is
very indistinct Vague impressions
of what he heard about the battle Of
Trafalgar the year it was fought still
hover in his mind, and he remembers
very well the return of the troops from
the battle of Waterloo.

Gone Tariff Mad

otner nations besides tho Tr,,+oa
states can stand pat" but in the end
'nere must come a showdown and
soine one will win and others lose. In
piaylng the tariff game of freeze-out
oeeWeen nations the people Of all coun-
tfles suffer and the combines and corr
poratlons grow fat That is the case
IN the United States and Germany to-
Jay Tor both countries are standing
pat WIN poor hands. Even the event
ual winner at this tariff game, which
the Republican leaders here and the
land monopolists in Germany are play
Ing with the stakes that the people Of
both countries furnish, will be poorer
In the end.
In the United States we boast Of
our large exports, which are mostly
agricultural products and raw materi-
ais and which must be sold to those
countries that will buy them and the
price for the surplus we have to sell.
after supplying our own people. is fix
ed In the foreign markets, where other
countries which have surplus Of SIM
liar products, are also seeking BUYERS.
Germany, France and other protection
countries that do not raise enough
wheat, beef, pork and other products,
set the price they will pay according to
the amount that is offered for sale
The price they offer for the surplus
nxes the price also in the countries
that sell. If a tariff tax is imposed
on any or all of these agricultural
products, that and the freight and ex-
penses and profits must be added and
the consumers in Germany and else
where pay the total cost
If our people want to buy German
or French products, the tariff tax that
the United States imposes is added to
the price these foreign countries
charge, and the cost is increased from
30 to 100 per cent, the average being
about "a per cent, besides the freight
and profits. But that is not the worst
of it by any means, for the trusts and
combines knowing that foreign goods
cannot be sold here, except with the
tariff tax added, put up the price Of
their products in proportion and thus
virtually collect the tariff tax on nearly
all our people buy. The trusts get the
tax and nothing goes to the govern
ment. That is why the cost of living
has increased here so greatly since the
Republican tariff law was enacted in
1897 and why the trusts and combines
have been so fostered and have SO
prospered.
In Germany a similar condition ex-
lists and the price of the necessities Of
life have so vastly increased that great
distress prevails.
On March the German tariff will
be so increased that her markets will
be absolutely closed to most Of our
agricultural products.
statesmen Of both countries are
standing pat' and declaring they will
make no concessions. The protection
majority in Congress are even declar-
ing for retaliation upon the Germans
by increasing our tariff rates 70 per
cent on German products.
Thus is protection gone mad in both
countries and the people are paying
exorbitant prices to protect the trusts
and combines. When the election Of
Senators and Congressman takes place
next fall will the voters re-elect these
"stand patters" or turn to the Demo-
Gratis, who are pledged to tariff revi-
sion that will eliminate trust protec-
ton.
