the port of New York alone. and by
little mathematical calculation one
may readily see what this means to
the hosiery manufacturers of the
country, considering the relation OF
100000 pairs of hosiery to a
population of S0,000,000 people"
This southern manufacturer, who
came here representing hosiery pro-
dUcers in a number of states, and
has joined hands with the hosiery
manufacturers of Pennsylvania and
other states of the north in urgin 3
that adequate protection be given TO
this industry, declared that there is
much in the history of conditions
in the United States in war times as
we'll as in peace times to justify the
policy of protection in order to Sc,
cure American markets to American
producers and working people. He
called attention to the famous story
of Washington ut Valley Forge,
when the patriots who followed the
great leader at that time were lily
clad, and their feet left blood-stains
in the snow through want of proper
shoes and stockings. This was be-
fore manufacturing was encouraged
by protective policy, and the
American people were almost Who'll
suoh necessities of life.
81 observe further" said the man
ufacturer, THAT much of the time
of the Senate is taken up these days
with queries as to the precise mea-
sure of protection required to COW
err the difference in cost of produc-
tion in this country and in foreign
countries. Let us hope that the
senator's will give some heed to this
question of difference in cost when
they come to consider the duties
asked upon hosiery. Detailed facts
have been furnished to the commit
tees of Congress showing that the
yarn, dyeing and boxing of hosiery
costs in Germany As cents as
against 65 cents in the United
States; that the wages in Germany
are rs cents, as against 80 cents in
this country; that mill expenses are
Is cents as against 20 cents in the
United States. These are the ex-
act figures given to cover the COM
parative cost on pound weight of
isle thread stockings. 1t is shown
that while the cost in Germany is
SO cents, the cost in the United
States is $1.65. The difference in
cost, therefore, is 20 cents, and the
duty under the present law is SO
cents, or not sufficient to meet the
difference in cost of production.
"The American people should be
made Independent Of foreign hos
iery producers by giving opportuni-
ties for the domestic industry under
proper protection, to furnish the
hosiery and sox which the American
people require"

TWICKENHAM.
Famous as the Abode of Many English
Literary Giants.


The place to which the lover Of Eng
fish literature will sooner or later turn
his steps is Twickenham. No other
small town can boast of having been
the residence and beloved abode Of so
many famous literary lights. With it
are associated the immortal names OF
Pope, Horace Walpole, Swift. Gay.
Lady WOrtley Montagu, Gibson, Bos-
we'll, Johnson, Tennyson and Dickens.
Surely this is enough to make any
place doubly immortal! Twickenham
was we'll nicknamed by Horace Wal
pole the Baiae, or Tivoll. Of England
for 1t has truly been to London what
Baiae was to ancient Rome-indeed, in
a far higher degree. The big red brick
house in Montpelier road where Alfred
Tennyson lived for so many years Of
his earlier married life was the one in
which many Of his earlier poems were
written. There his son Lionel, the Sec
ond Lord Tennyson, was born, and
there the author Of "Idylls" entertained
many Of his literary friends and ac-
quaintances. That house should surely
be sacred to all lovers Of English liter
allure, which saw the dawn Of ain Me.

GROUND HOG DAY.
Survival of Festival of the Middle
Ages In Europe.

Survival Of a Festival of the Middle
Ages In Europe.
The origin of ground hog day is ac'
counted for In the following way: Feb.
2, or Candlemas day, was a favorite
holiday, marked by public gayety and
ceremonies In Europe during the mid
die ages. II is still marked there by
the closing of banks and offices, but
not otherwise, outside OF the reading
OF church services. In the church cal.
endar it is known as the Feast of Puri-
fication Of the Virgin and was first in
stituted by Pope Sergius about the
year 6S4 A. d. The popular name OF
the day is derived from the early GUS
tom OF lighting up the churches with
candles and carrying these in process
sion on this festival
AS to the weather superstition giving
to Candlemas the name of ground hog
day, that Is q worldwide fable. In Ger
many 1t is the badger that breaks his
winter nap on this day to, essay the
thankless task Of weather'prophecy; in
France and Switzerland it is the mar
mot and in England the hedgehog. OBJ
servation shows, says the Housekeep-
er, that none Of these small animals
do thus observe the date fixed; also
that the weather on this date does not
accurately foretel that Of the follow
ing two months, as is supposed. But
it is general truth that in temperate
ATTITUDES warm and sunny weather in
the first half of February is apt to be
followed by change and a cool spring,
and on this fact our ground hog and
badger stories are founded.

win Work for Senator Burrows.

Kalamazoo, May 25.-Plans arc
being perfected for the organiza-
1ioR of a Burrows club throughout
the entire state of Michigan. 1t is
the intention of those who are
backing the move to make the or
ganization the largest of it's kind
ever formed in the state.
While it is generally conceded
chat Senator Burrows will be re-
elected to the senate in 1911 by the
largest majority ever given can
didate for that honor, the admirers
of the senior senator desire to show
Sheir fidelity to him at this early
date.
The home of the club will be in
Kalamazoo, but campaign for
membership in every nook of Michi-
gan will be carried on just as soon
as the club is launched. One of the
objects of the club will be to refute
numerous untruthful stories that
are being circulated against the
senator by his enemies, giving great
publicity to his work in the senate;
IN fact. conducting campaign for
him.
While it is generally understood

tressing pains in my loins. My back
often grew 80 lame that l could hardly
get about and to stoop or lift was fol.
lowed by sharp twinges through my
kidneys. The kidney secretions were
also painful in passage. After trying
many remedies without getting relief,
heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and began
their use. They helped me at once
