fiber. Then the last day the most
wonderful thing of all happened.
He had been spending the night with
one of the city ministers, and the next
morning his hostess called him. she
was holding a beautiful fur-trimmed
OVercOat.
81 wondered" she said, eff you could
possibly make use of this upon your
winter rides Mr. Armstrong had it
made for him, but found it heavier
than he liked, and it is really useless
for him to keep it. If you could use
it, it would be relieving us of a white
elephant. You will forgive my asking
you, will you not?'
Forgive it," the missionary cried
You cannot know what this means to
me, Mrs. Armstrong"
Il am so delighted" she answered,
cordially. You will not want to be
burdened with it now-it is terribly
heavy-but 1 will send it to you the
first thing in the fall"
The missionary did not go to the
conference that morning, although
great bishop was to make his address.
He had something on hand more i'm
portant than bishops for once. Jean,
splendid, patient, heroic Jean, was to
have the brown dress she had longed
for for so many years. The missionary
looked as II ne mad shaken OIL ten years
since the night before.
He carried home the brown dress
and his wonderful story. Jean looked
a little troubled even though her hands
dwelt lovingly on the cloth.
You are sure she won't-forget?"
she faltered.
Sure" he answered. He was so
confident that she put aside her fears,
and sang as she made the brown dress.
She wore it the first cool day of fall.
IF only you had your overcoat, too,''
she said, wistfully.
But 1 couldn't wear it today if 1
had he answered. you don't realize
what a glorious arctic-proof it is, Jean.
You never saw such an Overcoat. 1
expect it any day.
But the days passed. and it did not
come. Winter came on. Jean, her lips
set to keep back the tears, mended and
remended the old coat. The new dress
was put away-it tore her heart to
think of it. The missionary had an at
tack of pneumonia. They both knew
the reason, although neither said it.
In May the coat came-with pretty
letter of apology. The missionary tried
it on, his face shining.
isn't it beauty?" he cried.
His wife tried to smile-but there
was the winter to forget first!-Youth's

"Of course it must be-" she re-
turned. Remember that is what you

rolled in, and the missionary was upon
his way to the great conference.

WOOLGROWERS
AND BUYERS DISAGREE

Boise, Idaho, May 21,-At a wool
sale at Mountain Home yesterday
426,O0 pounds Of clip was disposed of
at prices ranging from II to 22 1-2
cents a pound. The purchases were
divided among dozen buyers pres
ent. This is the only sale to be held
in Idaho this year. as the clip has
been sold privately or sent to the
growers Chicago warehouse.
Shaniko, Ore, May 21.-Owing to a
disagreement between the buyers and
growers as to the discount on buck
wool it Is very probable there will be
no sale at Shaniko today unless a COM
promise can be reached this after
noon; however both are determined.
The buyers make a demand for one
half off on buck wool and the growers
will concede only a discount of one
third. Several clips were offered this
morning with a third off on buck
wool, but the buyers absolutely re-
fused to tender bids on that basis.
In all about 100000 pounds are
ready for today's market, with pros
poets to being held until the next sales
day, June 1. A great many more
buyers are in attendance than for
many years past and great competition
will no doubt exist, as wool is in big
demand. Some contracting has taken
place in this section, the price ranging
from % to 21 cents; however the
market looks stronger and it is main-
tanned by many that a much higher
figure will be reached at the sealed
bid sale.
AS a partial compromise between
grower and buyer the buck woods
were withheld and three clips dis
posed of this morning at from 81 is
to 22 3-S cents.
E. w. Brigham bought from w. E.
Hunt O.OOO pounds at 81 1-2 cents.
Charles Green bought from G.
Kampfer $1,000 pounds at 81 is
cents. and from NJ. Maxwell clip
at 22 ga cents. The same slips sold
last year at between 13 and IA cents.
Several clips are being offered this
afternoon, among them those of some
% the largest growers in this terri
tory.

WANTS TO VOTE ON
THE TARIFF JUNE 2

Washington, May 22.--Senator
Aldrich today asked the senate to fix
June as the date for the final vote
on the tariff bill. Senator Daniels
objected. The mater went over for
further consideration.
Aldrch believed that about three
fourths of the tariff bill as relating
to the duty bill list, could be disposed
Of. He stated that half of the dutable
paragraphs had been agreed to and
of the remaining he believed that
there would be fifty per cent over
which there would be no controversy
In the senate. Cummings said that
Aldrlch should not insist upon his
motion because many senator's hav-
ing views on the tariff would not have
had a chance to express them. Aid
rich replied that he had no desire
to prevent a full discussion of the
bill, but thought there was much
needless debate.
When Aldrich's motion was put over
Senaor McCumber of North Dakota,
took the floor, and delivered
speech supporting the agitation for
putting timber on the free list.

BIG EASTERN PACKERS
PLANNING TO MERGE

Chicago.-With the announcement
today that Armour Co. had author
lied an issue Of $4,000, 900 bonds and
that $30,000,0O0 of these had been
sold to the National City bank and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York, re-
ports were current here tonight that
the initial steps had been taken by
the dominating interests in the pack
ing industry looking to merger of
the leading companies. The report
was accept in many financial quarters
as having reasonable basis, especilly
in view of the recent $4,000, 900
stock issue by Swift & Co.. and the
issue of S5.OOO,OOO by the Cudahy
Packing company. n
Samuel McRoberts of Armour G.
Co., tonight issued the following
statement on his return from the east,
where he closed negotiations for the
sale of the bonds under direction of
j. Ogden Armour:
Statement of Armour Firm.
"The rapid development in the
company's business during the last
10 years has required more capital
than the earnings-all of which were
allowed to remain in the company
produced-We have simply taken the
most economical method of supplying
the additional capital for present and
future extension Of the business"
Further than this McRoberts would
not discuss the issue.
The idea of the merger of the pack
ing industries has long been cherish
ed by the larger interests and repeat
ed attempts have been made to make
II realty The fear of government
attacks upon such an organization,
however, has prevented any pro-
gress In recent years.
1t is understood that the Armour
family has taken $5.OO0,000 of the
$30,000,O00 bonds sold as an invest
ment. A large amount of the re-
naming s3O.OOO,OOO is understood to
have been sold In Europe.
