SYNOPSIS.

Three girls Elizabeth, Gabrielle and
Elise-started for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ed stranger, who, finding a bag belonging
to one Of them, took enjoyment in scru-
finizing a photo Of the trio. The young
women met a Mrs. Graham, anxiously
awaiting her husband, who had a mania

actions on board ship. Elise, alone, ex-
plored the cellar, overhearing a onver-
Fation there between Mary Anne and a
man. He proved to be her son, charged
with murder. AT a supper, which was
held on the rocks, Elizabeth rather mys-
seriously lost her ring, causing a search
ny the entire party. Gabrielle witnessed
Lord Wilfrid. Jealousy being the cause.
Mary Anne brought back Elizabeth's
ring, Elise went sailing with Gordon
Bennett, He tried to persuade her to
return the Jewels left in the girls care
by Lady Edith. At midnight Elise saw
two men-one of them Gordon Bennett
attempting to force an entrance into
their b~oathouse. She admitted to herself
that she had nearly loved him and be-
1ieved herself used as a tool. Mrs. Graz

love for another Gordon Ben

Apropos of examination time, Prof.
Carl c. Petersen of Dubuque related
at a recent dinner some examination
stories.
"Once, in a Bible lesson" he said,
II repeated the text:
"'Arise and take the young child
and his mother and flee into Egypt
And then l showed the children a
large picture that illustrated the text
in bright colors.
"The children studied this picture
eagerly. Then they all frowned; all
looked rather disappointed. Finally a
little girl said:

TOLL OF ALL
WESTERN STATES PAY TRIBUTE
TO NEW ENGLAND.
Tariff Bill Is Being Framed for the
Special Benefit Of a Handful Of
Trust Masnates Who Con-
troll Legislation.


The Payne bill raised the tariff on
hosiery. Mr.. Aldrich restores the
Dingley rate. Then, by way of re-
ward, he jumps the tariff on cotton
gloves to a point where his mill boss
friends a monopolize our entire cot
ton glove trade.
New Jersey and Delaware sit at the
gate of industrialism and take toll.
These toll states levy tribute on the
whole republic by granting charters
to predatory trusts.
Rhode Island-another pocket edi-
ton of a state-aiso makes a special
ty of industrial piracy. Rhode Island
numbers within its little borders a
goodly proportion of New England's
privilege %grabbers. And Rhode Island
has also the distinction of giving the
trusts their legislative captain, Nelson
W. Aldrich of the national senate.
Why should a handful of trust mag
mates control the highest legislative
body in the United States?
Simply because they have a general
who understands selfish human ma
ture. Aldrich takes his orders from
the trusts and proceeds to execute
them with the skill born of long ex-
perience. He knows his quarry.
And so the farce goes on-always
to the ultimate advantage of the little
group of New England manufacturers
who have commissioned Aldrich to
frame the tariff bill for their special
benefit. The tail wags the dog and
the convention pledges Of the Repub
lican party for Downward revision
are laughed to scorn.
The parasite states are about to take
fresh toll from the nation.-Chicago

Oriental Silks.

Oriental silks have a way of coming
in on the market and meeting with
popular favor because Of their genuine
oddly among fabrics. They are al
ways sought by persons who look FOR
the exclusive patterns and this is
possible among oriental silks where
two patterns may be alike, but of diff
ferent colors. The trimmings for such
are plain silks, soutache and crochet
buttons. One of the dashing dresses
constructed Of this material was a
brick red, with clouded effect. 1t was
trimmed with black-red grosgrain
silk and an edging Of black soutache
in sawtooth fashion for bands. The
dress was a very good example of
what can be produced with a foreign
silk.

A pretty summer fashion is the
lingerie Dorothy bag. Dainty little
bags of open-work embroidery of the
broderie Anglaise order, with Innings
in delicate shades of pink, primrose.
blue, green or mauve and ribbon
handles to match, will be carried.
The color chosen for the lining will
be repeated in the draped ceinture
round the waist, the ribbon on the
lingerie hat and the bows of the sun
shade.
1t is a quaint and pretty fashion,
the lingerie bag, and during the hot
part of the year the familiar leather
handbag will take q back place.

In the End. The True Voice.

The voice Of Cummins, like the voice
Of Dolliver and other western Repub-
lican senators, is essentially the voice
of the plain people, who want real, not
bogus, tariff revision. And these Iowa
senators are right when they say that
neither the senate, nor the house, can
silence the voice of the people. No
action that congress may take in pro-
longing an obnoxious high tariff can
alter the determination Of American
consumers to obtain lower tariff.

The cominu Tariff Conflict

If the present congress passes a
tariff bill on the lines favored by
Aldrich and the New England mill
bosses 1t will merely invite a political
upheaval with necessary realignments
of party strength. The genuine tariff
reformers Of the west will align them
selves against the bogus tariff re-
formers Of the east. And the party
banner they happen to fight under
will be Of small account compared
With their real goal.
