Wednesday, 22nd September, 1903.

Az we mentioned inMonday's BUIIetjn, the
ceremony at the opening of the renovated
"Old Danish Church" on Sunday afternoon
was a very impressive one. AS the hour for
the ceremony approached the large building
became thronged, while many failed to OBJ
tain admission.
The Gondarme band played a suitable
piece, after which Pastor Nygaard welcomed
the large audience, members of the congre-
CATION and others, and read a couple of
coEgratulatory letters addressed to the
Congregation by old friends abroad. He
then made the following address.
Eve have for . long time here in our Lu-
theran Church in Bassin been wanting a
house for our Sunday School, which is stead
lily increasing in number, as well as for other
meetings, that could not SO conveniently be
held in The church. All the other churches
here had such houses. Therefore [ have for

Which of these facts interests you? They

they have 1t is this: Congress is to pass
vicious tariff measure because the majority OF
citizens are not concerned about anything that
congress does in any tariff measure. The word
containing t, a, r. an and two frs
frightens most people, and they do not study
the really great question under discussion In
our country today. You, for instance, may pass
over without reading or serious thought the
columns containing tariff discussion In this
newspaper yesterday. But will you miss the
item concerning Mrs. Mackays gray powder

remember the pallid Mrs. Mackay after you
have forgotten that you are paying absurd
tariff revision which is now being made and
which you are doing nothing to stop. This seems
to be the happy-go-lucky American way. And 1t

of people in this country year after year.

Daily Short Story ~

Georges was a dream. Every
morning they had to pinch each
other to make sure they were real
ly awake and preparing for a
breakfast, about which they knew
nothing until they were at the
table. Every night after reach
ing their own. rooms they ex-
claimed to each other about the
charm of some new and unfamil-
lar dish at dinner.
BY the end of the second
month they knew the cook s
achievements so well that sur
prises were infrequent. They also
knew just what stories r. King
man told at certain points during
the dinner, ad just what excuses
the well upholstered Mrs. King
man would make when she forgot
the trmp or failed to return her
partners lead. BY another week
they realized they had settled into
a rut and that this rut was not of
their own demarkation, but that
which the Kingmans had worn
by many years of travel alnng
the same easy routes.
Mrs. Georges hands recovered
their old whiteness, but she would
have welcomed the old burns and
FUCKERS for an opportunity to get
into the kitchen and devise some
of the dishes with which she
used to surprise the Homecoming
George. Even the viands of a
chef. they found, may in time
grow monotonous. 1t was the
seEne with bridge. Half a dozen
rubbers every evening left them
hating the very sight of the
spotted pasteboards.
One Saturday afternoon George
came home with all his old buoy
ancy restored. At the door he,
with difficulty, smothered his
youthful countenance to a SEM
blance of the sober lines 1t had
recently learned to wear. 1--WE
bad news for you, dearie," he
told his wife, as she came to
greet him. "The Andersons who

give it up. Anderson has a good
job offered him in Boston and
they leave early next week. It's
the wrong season for renting and
] fear we cant find anybody else
to take the lease off our hands. .
For a brief moment his wife
stood regarding him with puzzled
suspicion. Then with a squeal oil
joy she leaped into his outspread
arms.
"OhI" she cried "you feel so
too! ] know you do. You needn'i
try to hide 1t. We've both been
crazy to get back for the last
month. O. the dear little flat.

Dear Mr.. Wcrkinemans
Do you wear olothegr II 20. you are inter-
ested in this new tariff bill.
Clothes will cost you nearly third more II
the Peyne-Aldrich bill becomes q law.
The new tariff puts the tax all on the cheap
er clothes, Take the case of stockings. for ex-
ample. The lowest priced stockings are in
creased 81 per cent. The highest priced stock
ings are increased IL per cent. This rule runs
all through the tariff on clothes 1t applies to
wooden blankets, to wooden underwear, to
ready-made clothing, to hats and caps, and even
to cheap millinery. The increase in the tax on
underwear and knit goods was written by the
National Association Of Hosiery and Under
wear Manufacturers
Is this the kind of tariff that brings pros
perity to you? Didn't you think this revision
of the tariff was to have something to do with
reducing the cost Of living?
II you don't mind paying third more for
your clothes-and thus contributing to the
clothing makers trusts--just write to Speaker
Cannon and President Taft and tell them so. A
good many people do mind. and they will be
glad to hear from you. Better write anyway.

Kingman was vice president OF
the bank where George worked
as an assistant bookkeeper at $25
a week. The Kingmans were old
very old indeed to youth like
the Georges. They were tired
living alone in their great flunky-
haunted house, and they wanted
Mr.. and Mrs. Georgia to come
ad live with them. Would they?
Would they!
Little Mrs. Georgia laughed
aloud at the absurdity of the
question. Then she and George
spent several happy hours pack

yesterday morning 1t was for
mally decided that the women
should present Kirmess in Taco

cement is necessary for the pre-
sentation of the dance, and on
this account Mr.. Lynwood of
New York has been secured to
conduct rehearsals. The first
rehearsal will be held Saturday
in Sloan's hall. The committee
in charge of the Kirmess Is COM
posed OF Mrs. Horace G. Scott,
