Duty on Slack Coal.

feature of the local tariff adopted
by the senate that has received little
attention but is likely to bring great
comfort to New England manufacture
ers, is the duty on slack. The rate
fixed on the latter is Is cents a ton,
which is the next thing to free fuel.
1t was not always thus. In the Ding
ley law no distinction was made be-
tween coal and slack and the duty on
each was 81 cents ton. In the Payne
boil the Dingley rate was retained
with the very important provision that
coal should be admitted free from any
country that admitted American coal
free of duty.

No smoke nuisance: The fact that soft coal is not used on the steamer, Park City, this season, is very much appreciated by the travelling public. Ladies and children who go on the every week day matinee excursions" can therefore go dressed in snowy white with the assurance of a pre- sentable appearance when they re- turn home. There are only three weeks in which to enjoy these de- lightful matinee excursions to Port Jefferson. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1.SO; returning, leaving Port Jeff ferson at 4.30. You should avail yourself and family of this pleasant sail across the Sound-an ideal out ing t.ip.-Adv. 4

Circulation

Many of our readers will be in- terested in the following which we clip from the Yankton Press and Dakotan" of a recent date: From the frequently expressed words of praise, Rev Hardin George, who took the services here Sunday at Christ church, made a great hit with the congregation. He is young man, just ordained and not only took the service splendidly but preached ser mons that held his congregation won- derfully until the end" Rev MT George, who has been the guest of Bishop Johnson at Sioux Falls for several weeks, has now taken up work at Selby and Lennon, points which he served with great success during the summer of year ago, in Bishop Johnson's portion of the South Dakota field. Lennon is espe- cially a town of great prospective importance. It is on the North Da- kota border and very near to the Montana state line. It is rustling new South Dakota town, having all the features of recently promoted town in the new West. It is on the newly completed Pacific Coast exten- sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul railway, through trains pass ing through it from Chicago to Puget Sound. It is a place where the bot tomstones of the Church have yet to be laid in. Like all foundation work, much that MT George does there will be out of sight. It will be important as the foundation on which future building for the Church in that part of the country must rest. MT George will have his postoffice address at Selby; but his home is likely to be at both places and a good deal of the time on the road. The distance between the two chief points which he will serve is a hundred miles by rail.

The Funny Little Lady.

There's funny little lady;
 I've seen her-havens you? Who thinks a gambler horrid,
 And frankly says so, too. She sympathizes with his wife,
 Says he should be in jail, Put there, kept there, without show Of pity or of bail. She shudders for the commonwealth
 If gambling shall increase, And thinks law should be devised To cause the crime to cease. But this funny little lady,
 Entertains her friends in style; And they play six-handed euchre, Winning prizes worth the while. Silver candlesticks and bracelets,
 Prizes for the merry matrons, Other prizes for the girls.
 And this funny little lady Plays at cards with might and main, And a candlestick or bracelet Is a stake she seeks to gain. She has fitted up her sideboard
 With cut glass and china rare, Which she as a euchre champion,
 Won as prizes, fair and square. Now, tis candlesticks she's after,
 For her parlor mantel shelf, And she'll wager any money
 None shall win them but herself. Sometimes she grows quite excited, When the game has reached white
 heat,
 And alas-she's called her rival
 (When she wasn't there) a cheat. What a funny, funny lady,
 Playing with such skill and might For 6 pretty silver candle,
 Thinking, too, the game is right. When if the shining silver, Were made in dollars thin, And were played for by a man down
 town,
 She would think the game a sin. Oh, you funny, funny lady,
 Treat the gambler kindly-do; He gets his spells the way he likes, And you as you like too.

 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such 8 record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years 1t has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fbroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclaysays, it is worth noun tains of gold "to suffering women.

Farm Hands Isle Of Refuge Already
Had a Tenant.

Prof. A. L. Lowell, the new presi-
dent Of Harvard. paused in one Of his
recent lectures and smiled.
THAT governmental difficulty" he
said, was great--as great as the diff
f1culty of Lincoln's farm hand.
1.-TWO farm hands, Lincoln used to
say. were set upon by huge bull
while crossing rocky field. One man
aged to gain tree. The other took
refuge in hole that proved to have
IN exit. in the rear.
The man who had chosen the hole
was no sooner in at one end than he
was out at the other. With below
the bull made for him. He turned and
again shot like lightning through the
hole. The bull once more bore down
upon him, and once more he was in
and out of his hole.
This strange pursuit kept up some
ten minutes or more. At first it mysti-
fed the farm hand up in the tree.
Then it angered him.
"'Hey,' he shouted, we DANCED min.
compoop, why don't ye stay in the
hole?"
THE bull was dashing from one
end of the hole to the other at great
speed, and the man was bobbing in
and out desperately. Heheard, however,
his comrades shout and found time
before his next brief disappearance to
shout back:
DANCED nincompoop yerself!

stockyard and Trade Notes.

Cattle trade is still very cratic
Why steers should be so hard to sell
at time when killers are climbing
over one another to get hogs and live
muttons are vending at famine prices,
is puzzle difficult to solve. Holy
week influence will now be eliminated
and the cattle market is expected to
do better.
Hog supply is running liberal and
the market is remarkable. March re-
ceipts in the west was considerably
heavier than year ago, yet prices
ruled 81 per cwt higher AS usual,
hogs are marketing money for every
body handling Them including the kill
ct, otherwise such prices would not he
possible.
Good feeding cattle are VIGOROUSLY
hard to buy. This phase of the trade
is becoming more pronounced as each
succeeding year rolls by. Feeders
have to compete with killers for light
cattle, with the result that the stuff
looks high. Under changing circum-
stances some method of wintering
stock cattle needed for summer graz
ing purposes seems imperative.
Range cattle have wintered we'll,
ACCORDING TO all aSallaDle reports. ia
Wyoming stock is thin, but will pull
thru in good shape, provided no Sc
we're storms report for business dur
ing April. In the Dakotas and Montana
herds are in good shape and winter
losses will be merely nominal.
Owing to the prospective light sup
ply of sheep, packers have been con-
tracing wethers for future delivery.
One house is shearing several large
punches at nearby feeding stations.
Sheep promise to be rare IN number
and high in price before grassers ar
rive as Texas has no fat ones this
year.
Average price of lambs at Chicago
last week $50, the highest week since
June. 1907, when the average at $500
was highest that year. The high week
in 1908 was s775, the closing week Of
March. The weeks average was 40c
higher than year ago and s1.45 above
the average of the corresponding week
during the past eight years.

Era Of "a,Bath with Every Room.r

it out of the public's mind, now it has

washed in tin basin no bigger than
a finger bowl. Go and look at the tiny
corner washstand in the Paul Revere
house and see what that hero used for
maintaining cleanliness of person!
The additions of our forefathers were
not extensive, it is true, but they
