A Bride. Mi..pprehen.ion.

It was the first Sunday in their pref
ty new fat, and Mrs. G. determined
to celebrate the joyous day with a
dinner which would make her young
husband think he had married not only
1.-THE sweetest girl in the world" but
1.-THE best cook" 1t was perfectly
lovely to set the little roupd dining
room table with the incest presents,
and the preparation Of a tempting
salad and dessert was not exactly a
trying ordeal, but the roasting Of the
chicken made her little nervous. Aft
er succeeding, with the assistance of
large oilcloth book, in getting the
fowl into the oven she sang from sheer
relief A little later, Athen the music
had ceased and the silence in the
kitchen became suspicious, Mr.. g..
opened the door. Kneeling down be-
fore the oven, with flushed face and
fearful eyes, was Mrs. G. On the
floor beside her was the cookbook, and
in one hand was a long needle with
white thread. 'Oh, dearie," she cried,
at is going to burn my hands just
dreadfully to haste this chicken every
fifteen minutesr'-What to Eat

In the boot and shoe industry we pay
the highest prices paid on earth, but
we have the cheapest labor when eff
f1c1ency and product are considered.
Neither we manufacturers nor our en-
ployes are protected to any consider
able extent by the duty of rs per cent.
on boots and shoes. We will consent
to a reasonable reduction of this duty
willingly in order to obtain free hides
and cheap labor
All we ask is a free field and no
favor either in our own or in foreign
markets. Take away the duties that
prevent US from obtaining leather at
the same prices paid by our foreign
competitors and we will not only hold
our own markets with or without a
duty on shoes but we will invade for
eign markets on an extensive scale.
In SO doing we will provide addi-
tional work at good wages to our boot
and shoe workers.
While the duty on hides bears heav-
lily upon our industry in every part of
the country, now that Germany, Can
ada and Mexico are discriminating
against our shoes and are levying or
threatening to levy much higher du-
ties upon them, 1t will be even more
difficult for us to hold our share of
this industry, handicapped as we are.
With free hides and with access to
foreign markets we would be in no
danger. Not only could we manufac-
ture shoes more cheaply for our peo-
pie but we would greatly increase our
exports to foreign countries
The margin of profit for most manu-
facturers of shoes is only four or five
cents a pair. OF course these manu-
facturers either had to advance the
price of shoes or use cheaper mater
ials. As yet, however. advances have
been but slight in comparison with the
increased cost of materials. Unless
the cost of materials can be reduced
shoes must soon sell at much higher
prices.
We see no prospect of cheaper ma
teria1s and no hope for cheaper shoes
for the people except through the re-
nXa2 ofifhe tariff duty on the hides.

Knew Who used lt.

Charles II. Hoyt, New England's great playwright. once visited small town in Pennsylvania where there is q hotel they say George Washington, the Father of His Country, used to stop at when he passed through. Tn 1t they have room he Is said to have oc- cupied at times.
 Hoyt came through there once with one of his attractions. He arrived at the hotel after all the members of the company had been assigned rooms.
 One of the company was given tho Washington room, and Hoyt received a poor room on the top floor, the pro .prletor not knowing who he was.
 When he came downstairs later the gentleman who had got the good room said, "AIr. Hoyt, they have given me the room that they used to give George Washington when he came here"
 "Wel," said Hoyt "the one they have given me must be the one they gave Benedict Arnold when he came"

TWO [ AO MEN.

Two men are dead in our little town, and one with money was loade down: and one was of the good long green-a humble cog in the Big Mach inc. Of what avail are the rich man rocks? They'll nail him down in a costly box; and gorgeous garlands the heirs will bring, and the priest will preach and the choir will sing, and prancing horses will haul the hearse-the price will come from the dead mans purse. But not mournc Is really sad; the eyes may weep when the heart is glad. The dead man never had in his soul another wish than to swell his roll; he lived to gather the shining bones; he pinch cd dime till you heard its groans, The other man who crossed the line and whom we'll plant in box of pin was ever ready to help or cheer when old Mss Fortune was camping near; to help the troubled or soothe their pains he'd go right down in his old blue jeans; "to help neighbours a A pleasure. sure"-and that was the logic that kept him poor. He's dead and gone. and the people grieve; and they shed real tears-not the make believe! Mason.

A VALUABLE ADVERTISEMENT.

The special souvenir edition just issued by the Dawson Daily News Is without doubt the most attractive and reliable symposium ever gotten up to exploit Yukon. It comprises 76 pages, each of absorbing interest.
 The edition contains scores of sple did half tone illustrations. showing Yukon scenes of every character. The industrial side of Yukon in particular receives attention. The articles are chiefly such as will appeal to the prospective investor, prospector or miner, but there also Is much to in- terest those who look to the physical beauties of the realm.
 The articles on mining and kindred topics especially are able. Many of the articles, prepared by the govern. ment officials, were endorsed before going to the printer by Governor Henderson.
 The special edition is handsomely printed in magazine form and will be of great benefit in advertising the Yu kon. The Dawson News deserves great credit for It's enterprise in print ing this edition.

one MANS ORCHARD EXPERT
ESCF

For the benefit of young farmers
who are going to plant and raise an
apple orchard I Will give you a few
points.
Don't cultivate and stimulate the
growth of young trees too much. Let
them grow slowly and naturally, like
a forest tree.
Ny reasons for this advice are: a
few years ago a neighbor of min set
out an apple h and he Guilt
waited some sowed crops between the
rows all the time.
He washed the trunks Of the trees
with weak I've and old ~sOapsuds
through April, May and June, and
those trees grew to pea the band.
1t was the general talk all over the
settlement what a fine orchard old
man Riley had.
Wen, here comes the result of such
began to pear the trees began to die
blighted TO death
Forty per sent OF them are dead
now and the others are going to fol-
low.
Now don't you see the crowdinG of
the growth OF young trees Won do?
/ am rs years old and / nave learned
by observation that the thing can be
oVerdore.
The croWding Of the growth makes
the wood too soft. Left to grow slow
" they Will live longer.-J. j. Os-
born, Illinois.

Foc's Cottage at Fordham
Here lived the soul enchanted
By melody of song:
Here dwelt the spirit haunted
By a demoniac-throng:
Here sang the lips elated.
Here grief and death were stated;
Here loved and here animated
Was he, so frail. SO strong.
Here Wintry winds and cherries
The dying freight blew.
While his whole soul was peerless
Dreamed the drear midnight through.
And from dull embers chilling
Crept shadows darkly filling
The silent place and thrilling
His fancy as they grew.
Here, with brow barred TO Heaven,
In starry night he stood,
With the lost star of seven
Feeling sad brotherhood.
Here in the SOhbing showers
OF dark autumnal hours
He heard suspected powers
Shrek through the stormy wood.
From visions of Apollo
And Of AStarte's bliss.
He gazed into the hollow
And hopeless vale of Dis;
And though earth were surrounded
BY heaven, it still We're mounded
With graves. His soul had sounded
The dolOrOuS abyss.
Proud, mad, but not defiant. +
He C at heaven and hell.
Fate found a rare soul plant
And rung her changes Well.
Alternately his Tyre,
Stranded with strings of fire,
Led earth's most happy choir
Or flashed with ISRAELI.
No singer of old story
Luting accustomed lays,
No harper for new glory,
No mendicant for praise,
He struck high chords and splendid,
Wherein were fiercely blended
Tones that unfinished ended
With his unfinished days.
Here through this loWly portal,
Mad sacred by his name,
Unheralded immortal
The mortal went ana came,
And fate hat then denied him
And envy that decried him
And malice that belicd him,
Have c~enotaphed his name"
His poems written about this time
lead n to suppose that BOner was
under the sway Of Poe's spirit because
of the ring and rythm of his measures,
SO like those of the wizard.
The foregoing facts are culled al
most wholly from DR.. Benjamin's
| John Henry Bc1er Memorial Volume.
In this work DIR. Benjamin has done
a distinct service to our State which
should De recognized. In it he has
preserved all hat has been written of
Boner by individuals and by the
| press. He has collected also much of
Boner'S own manuscript and much of
other manuscripts which scholars
would prize. DR.. Benjamin published
but one hundred copies. He has had
application for many more volumes
han he can give out. The same diff
ficulty does not exist in securing
Boner's poems. Each n sold brings
a royalty to his widow. How many
are there on the shelves of North
Carolina libraries?
Richard Watson elders epitaph Of
BOner:
In life's hard fight, this poet did his
part,
He was q hero of the mind and heart,
Now rests his body meath his own
loved skies
