Another big advance in the
price-of lumber will be announced
very soon. The lumber fnanufac-
turers have the country by the
back of the neck, yet old Joe Can
non and a few other cranks say
''stand pat" Would it not be
good common business sense to
take off the tariff and let lumber
come in free of duty? 1t would
not do any harm if it did not do
any good. We don't think any
foreign lumber is coming into
this countr, anyway. II the TAX
| ing off of the tariff would let in
whole lot of foreign lumber,
why, it would be a good thing
providing of course the foreign
lumber dealers were not gobbled
up by the lumber barons of this
country. But the foreigner would
lhave to look out. The tariff ben
efciaries in this country are
strictly onto their job. If you
ldon't believe it. ask Sam King.

A great many new buildings
may be seen out in the country
these days, The farmers are taxi
ing better care of their machinery
than they used to. They have
learned by bitter experience that
it is much cheaper to make. a
building to store their machinery
in than it is to let it stand out
from one crop season to another.
Besides it is much more satisfac-
tory. Time was when one could
ride out through the country
after the crop season was over
and see binders and plows in the
fence corners. 1t is not that way
now. The thrifty farmer is look
ing after the loose ends now, and
he is having more money to buy
the luxuries of life with.

FATAL REALISM.

Playing in the cellar of his home at Philadelphia, few days ago, Charles Smith, an 11-year-old boy, slipped a moose about his neck, after having first attached an end to the ceiling He then jumped from the top of table on which he was stand- ing. When his mother was brought to the cellar few minutes later at tracted by the calls of her younger son, the child was dead. The boy got his younger brother, Raymond, to go to the cellar with him. Charles got a rope from the kitchen, and, hauling a table to the middle of the cellar, reached up and fastened one end to a rafter. Then making a moose he placed it over his head and threw himself from the table. His brother watched his dying struggles in glee, thinking that Charles was only making the scene realistic. Later when his brothers movements were stilled and he would not an- swer the child became frightened and called his mother.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY.

While cleaning out an outhouse at Netherhampton, Wilton, England, recently, a laborer came across seven old spoons all stuck into the earth. When cleaned these proved to be of silver and gilt in excellent condition, and scarcely tarnished. The spoons are dated 1899, and have been val ued at $50 each. This is the second find of antiquarian interest on the earl of Pembroke's estate this year, the scene of the latest discovery be- ing about two miles distant from the previous one, which consisted of two urns containing Roman coins.
