The proposed increase of the
duty on wheat by the term OF
the Aldrich bill is sop for the
farmer. The duty on wheat
under the Dingley bill was Is
cents a bushel and it remained
so in the Payne bill, but in the
Senate Mr.. Aldrich increases it
to 80 cents. This, of course, is
to fool the farmer and make him
think the wheat growing in
dustry is protected against for
eign importation.
This idea is secuted when we
come to think that this country
is an exporter and not an import
er of wheat. The United States
leads all other countries in the
production of wheat. The sta
tistics of 1907 show ga, 087, 900
bushels as the production of this
country, while Russia, in Europe,
the nearest competitor. produced
only 455, $40. 900, with France,
the next in line, showing a yield
of 1863, $40, 900. With Austria,
Roumania Bulgaria, Belgium,
Great Britain. Portugal, Mexico,
Servia, japan and other countries
importing wheat and the United
producing a surplus, protec-
tive tariff on wheat is meaning
less, whether it be 10 per cent or
100 per cent.
The legislation that the farmer
needs is protection from the
sharks who prey upon the pro-
ducts of his labor and get rich
quick on fictitiously inflated
prices, all of which go into the
pockets of the spectators and
none of it into the pockets of the
producer. Ark. Gazette.

TRICK OF BRETON wREckERs

How They Lured Mariners to Destruc-
ton on Dangerous Coast.
Along this dangerous coast the
hard hearted "Pagani'' or wreckers
had their settlements. Many are the
vessels that have been lured to de-
struction by their false lights; many
are the drowned who met their deaths
through the treachery of those to
whom they looked for help. The Pa
gani were regarded with great aver
sion by the people of neighboring vii
lagos, but they knew no shame.
A favorite device was to fasten a
lantern to bulls horns and then tie
the animals head to his forefeet and
drive him along the cliffs. The STUN
bling movements of the poor beast
agitated the lantern in such a man
ner that to those at sea it resembled
the light of a ship pitching and toss
Ing on the waters. Other vessels
would feel that they could sail in the
direction of this light in perfect safe
ty, only to find that they had been
treacherously lured to destruction.

months of such diet, at the same
time living in close, superheated
homes, filthy with breathed air, that
the bodily resistance is broken down
and that the fad of the winter brings
it's usual crop of pneumonia cases
with its harvests of death?

SKATES 5000 YEARS OLD.
Figure Skating Among the Ancient
- norwegian Heroes,

'SN'S SNotuIS AHOHG ttlG NitC'SHI
= Norwegian Heroes.
The English chronicler has record
ed that the youth of London in the
twelfth century understood the art of
flying over the ice like birds in the
air; but the origin of skating is far
more ancient. An Icelandic saga re-
lates how the Norwegian hero Firth
jof not only traced verses upon the
polished mirror but also he cut the
dear name of Ingebord.s
Skates have been discovered near
Spandau in Germany, which those
competent to express an opinion at
tribute to a period of 5000 years ago.
These skates were made from bones
OF horses. figured and perforated to
attach to the sandal. Similar skates
have been found at Moorfelds inkFins-
bury, and like discoveries have been
made in Berlin in the bed of the
Spree.
These and similar discoveries, we
learn, enahie the authorities to con.
.clude that the European ice area in
prehistoric times extended from
Great Britain to Finland and from
Norway to Hungary.

The Maiden:s Prayer.

Most children are good listeners as
we'll as good observers, and, more
than that, they are quick to use the
knowledge acquired through keenness
in these directions. A case in point is
that Of little Janet, who had evidently
spent part of her day in the kitchen
and had overheard remarks made by
the cook. Like all good girls, little
Janet said her prayers regularly just
before being tucked in for the night.
On this particular night she said:
God bless me, bless father and moth
er and everybody, make me good
girl, keep me pure--pure as Loyal
baking powder. Amen"
