Miss Louise Johnson

"And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; neither shall there
be any more pain, for the former
things are passed away" With refer
ence to the subject of this sketch we
can but rejoice that the former
things" which have so long clouded
and embittered her earthly life are
forever "passed away" Miss Louise
Johnson was born in st. Johnsbury
August IL, 1886. the second daughter
of Isaiah and Mary (Pierce) Johnson.
Her fathers death when she was four
years of age left her widowed mother
in limited circumstances with the care
of three little daughters. Bravely and
nobly did that mother fulfil the task
of rearing, educating and fitting them
for the serious duties of life. When
about 80 years of age Miss LOUISE be-
came subject to rheumatic trouble,
which in spite of the most varied and
persistent treatments continued to
hold more firmly upon her. and for 40
years she endured more or less of in
tense suffering, borne throughout with
heroic patience and unfailing trust in
a Fathers care. Her home for many
years was with her elder sister. Mrs.
Mary Robinson, in Jacksonville, Fla,
where the other sister, Miss Julia, and
the aged mother, also spent their last
days, the former passing away In May,
1899, and the latter the following au.

few more distant relatives. The many
flowers she so we'll loved bore witness
to the affection of friends and acquaint-
ances.
The toilsome march is ended.
The tired feet are at rest:
The weary hands are folded
Upon the pulseless breast.
And she who long has suffered
Has found eternal rest.
And we who loved her truly
Can have no cause to weep
That after all life's trials
So calmly she should sleep,
AS if around her pillow
The angels watch do keep.
Forgotten now the anguish.
The years of racking pain,
Exchanged the earthly dwelling
! For one where Christ doth reign !;
For Heavens endless glory,
The saints eternal gain.''

THE WORLDS WHEAT CROP

Apropos of the recent coup of the
Chicago wheat king" it is OF in
terest to note that the worlds con
sumption of the staple crop which
has lately been cornered amounts
annually to something over 5000
100000 Bushels.
The popular impression that mJ.l
OF this supply comes from the gran.
aries OF the great west is CHROME
Gus.
We have no monopoly in the FRO
duction of wheat.
For the past five years the average
yield Of the American wheat feds
has been 65O,OOO,OOO bushels, O,
less than one fifth Of the total har.
vest.
In European countries more THAI
was raised.
But Europe is denseiy popu ated
and notwithstanding the large guam
tity of wheat produced across III.
Atlantic the supply was far sho. Il
of the demand.
This has made it necessary foI
Europe to draw upon our reserve:
and while we produce less whea,
than Europe we raise more than
enough to meet our domestic wants
Last year we considerably exceed
cd our average, producing a crop
of something like 1000, 200
bushels.
But we could raise double this
amount on the boundless prairies
which belong to us, and in view OF
the recent upward trend in the price
OF bread, this result may follow.

Public Opinion.

Senator Scott says he Is opposed
TO any reduction in the tariff on oil
and wool, and several other things
as well. He reasons that the inter-
eSts OF the people of West Virginia
and of his dear Southland" would
suffer IL the tariff were reduced. To
add to the picturesqueness OF his
declaration the senator eulogized the
5. 0. C. as the great developer OF
the state and he repudiated the sug-
gestion that 1t was not all that It
should be.
There are many mysterious cor
ners 20 the tariff laws. some that are
never understood, and others again
mat are as transparent as daylight.
One of the mysteries is how the
tariff can help a manufacturer of
this country who exports his wares
to a foreign country and sells them
there for less than the foreigner can
manufacture them. Nevertheless
mat is the very class that is most
insistent upon the maintenance of a
high tariff to protect their baby in
iustry. Many of our American trusts
sci their products in Germany for
less than the Germans can make
them; some are sold in England
cheaper that the English can make
them. The American steel make RS
are underselling the Germans and
he English in Africa and India. vet
they demand a tariff to protect them
IT home from the competition Of
hese very people they are undersell-
ing in the competitive markets of
the world. The necessity of the pro-
tective tariff under these conditions
is one of the unsolved mysteries.
The transparent features of the
tariff are that the trusts and COM
olnes are the sole beneficiaries of It's
protective features. They reap all
the profits. The protective tariff IS
solely and exclusively for their ben
eht and their enrichment. They
reap all the profits. The people pay
the bills. But all the same they
continue to vote their substance back
to those whose yoke bears them
down to the level of work cattle.
