as tender plant, and you will thus make
of her tender plant, and she becomes a
thing of fancy, waywardness and folly.
She Is annoyed by dewdrop, fretted by
the touch of a butterfy's wing, ready to
faint at the sound of beetle or the rat
thing of window-sash at night, and is
even overpowered by the perfume of a
rose bud. But let real calamity come,
rouse her affections, enkindle the fires of
her being and mark her then how strong
is her heart. Place her in the heat Of
battle, give her a child, a bird, or any.
thing to protect, and see her white arms
as a child, as her own blood crimsons her
upturn ed forehead, praying for life to pro-
tect the helpless. Transplant her into
the dark places of the earth, call forth
her energies to action and her breath
becomes healing, her presence a bless
ing. She disputes inch by inch the
strides of a stalking pestilence, when
man, the strong and brave, pale and
affrighted, ShrinkS away. Misfortune
hurts her not; she wears away her life in
silent endurance and goes forth with less
timidity than to the bridal altar. In pros
perity, she is bud full of odors waiting
for the winds of adversely to scatter them
abroad-gold, valuable, but untried iu
the furnace.

A recent issue of the Daily Con-
sular Report Furnished by the Fed
eral Government called attention to the
fac. that many millions of American
money are spent every year for the pur-
chase of jute or gunny cloth and gunny
bags in India, and suggested that the
cloth and bags Of that material might
as we'll be manufactured in the United
States, and that money kept at home.
The population of India is now four
times the population of the United
States, the people there are exceed
ingly poor, and those engaged
in the jute industry are among the
poorest of them. The editor of the
Consular Report observes that they
receive pitiably small wages and. live
very hard, but he thinks that the
little they have should be taken away
from them. American workmen, Of
course, could not compete with them
without protection; but the duty can
be made high enough to keep the
Indian gunny cloth and bags out, and
the American consumer can be forced
to pay the enhanced prices. Mean
while the Indian workman staryes and
the American tax payer groans.

There is an old proverb to the
effect that door must be either open
or shut. The protectionists in this
country, however, would keep the door
open for exporters and shut for i'm.
porters, forgetting that commerce
means exchange and that the country
that refuses to buy cannot forever
continue to sell. The home market
is all very we'll as long as it finds
something for everybody to do and
escapes monopolization. But when
overproduction becomes chronic
trouble foreign commerce is the only
available means of relief. The foreign
commerce of this country foots up an
immense total and the rrotectionists
boast of it as though It was the
direct result Of excessive import
duties; but as matter of fact that
big total divided by eighty-five mil
lion people gives this country a
smaller per capita Of foreign trade
than that Of any other great indus
trial country in the world.

The action Of the Democratic State
Executive Committee in fixing the
date Of the first primary for August 1,
which is the earliest date possible
under the law, was in response to q
general demand from the candidates
for an early election, all the aspirants
for state office desiring to have the
agony over as soon as possible. The
campaign was started ahead Of the
usual time, several Of the candidates
having been actively on the stump
for more than year, and even the
aspirsnts for minor offices have been
touring the state for eight months or
more. The naming Of August 1
means that the county executive COM
mittees will meet on August 2 or 5,
canvass the returns and forward their
reports to the state executive commit
tee, which will meet in Jackson
during the following week, probably
on Friday, August 10, and declare all
results for state Offices. As the vote
promises to be very heavy, probably
receiving 10000 or 1875, 900, the COM
mittees in the various counties will
have considerable work to perform,
but the chief burden will fall on the
election officers. Owing to the large
number of candidates, and the oonse-
quent exceptional length Of the ticket,
it will be well-nigh impossible to get
anything like complete returns from
all parts Of the state on the night of
the election, and especially in the
governorship race. the result Of the first
primary may not be definitely known
until Friday or Saturday, with, of
course, the possibility that it may
require the official returns to deter
mine the result. Scott County Reg.

CHANGE.

The secret of happiness is constant change
within the Limitation of reason and COM
mon sense. A rut in the human soul Is
like rut in the road, dangerous and up
setting. Ii we must remain at the same
task year after year for nearly the whole
of lifetime, then it should be our con-
slant effort to get all the variety we can
into our lives In other ways. The fact
that farmers wives 60 insane more than
any other class of persons Is attributed to
the terrible monotony of their lives, which
are one unceasing round hard work.
A machine bearing on single point of
metal. wears out that point speedily. 1t
is precisely the same with our lives.
One dull round of thought, doing the
same tasks at tho sans hour year after
year, will brake down the finest, strong
est brain.
So get out and have a vacation. At
least give yourself a vacation of thought.
Read new things; walk along fresh roads;
look at new pictures and new buildings.
Invite fresh new thought always to your
soul; so shall you keep always young.
Be not so sure that your fondest theory
is exactly the correct one. Standing still
IS decay and death. Hold the same ploW
handle, bend over the same desk forty
years, with your thoughts chained down
to them, and you become bumped
shouIdercd old hunks blind. deaf, weak
and disagreeablc. Keep up with the
wagon. Change your old views and
habits for new ones when you find them,
and be always on the lookout for them.

"A woman holds a higher place
Than a king upon his throne;
He rules his kingdom bv his power.

Than king upon his throne;
He rules his kingdom by his power,
She by her love alone.
Earth holds no better thing than this,
No greater power for good.
The highest gift God can bestoW,
A noble Womanh0od.
This is the work He gives to them,
To comfort, guide and bless;
To drop on bruised and aching hearts
The balm of tenderness.
Better to be queen Of home,
Loving. and brave and true;
To live that all may find this world
Better because Of you.
Better to kiss a little face,
Dimpled, and pure and sweet;
Better to guide, with loving hands,
The little stumbling feet;
Better to feel the tender clasp
Of soft arms round your neck
Than to sit upon the prouded throne
With nations at your feet.
The best use we can make Of our life IS
to live so that we shall be benediction to
every one we meet.
The happiest persons In the world are
not those who have the most done for
them, but those who do the most for
others.
Life IS hard for many people and we
have no right to withhold any word or
touch or act Of love which will tighten the
load OF cheer the heart Of any fellow
struggler.

country does the interchange Of mer-

more directly the prosperity Of the

food products and raw materials,
whereas more than half Of her exports

THE CARPENTERS SON.
Twenty centuries ago there appeared
upon the earth a child of lowly birth.
Not in palace, not even In home of
ordinary appointments, but in manger,
this child first beheld the light of day.
The child grew, developed, and gave
promise of a wonderful career. For a
season he passed out of sight but by and
by he appeared again to disclose to those
about him concerning the ''life which now
IS and that which is to come" Such was
the power of this strange personality
that we have authority for saying that

are being organized and homes builded
