radium in the mineral water here.
A piece of radium no larger than
a small pin head is worth $1,000
At present we are a tariff Demo

AS the result of my observations
upon the different tariffs of the
world (and | do not pretend to be
wise or deeply read about this mat
teri, find that wherever there is a
protective tariff it has built up a
system of morality of its own, and
| never found that its rules of NOR
ais we're in accord with any other
rules of morals, religious of secular,
ever framed in this world. 1t has
built up a system of morality in
this world that not only is wicked,
but it allows to be done by authori-
ty of the law what the man
who does it would never do in his
private capacity as a citizen. 1t
permits a man not only to Covet
his neighbours goods, but to take
them away from him by force of
law. When we consider that we
collected little over 300 million dol
lars last year, and the people of
this country pay in taxation to
these protected interests $780,
100000, think it is about time we
are considering whether we are not
taxing the American people a little
too far.-Senator Dolliver In the
United States Senate.

True Story of Sheridan Ride.

Rowand, the Scout. Quoted by W.
G. Beymer in Harper's
Il looked across large clear field
and saw a black horse at full speed
coming out of the woods, and |
said to Campbell. There comes the
old Man" we always called Gen.
Sheridan the Old Man; and he
said, Can't be; he's in Washington
| looked again for moment, and
then said, It's him; there comes
couple of his staff officers a hun
dred yards behind We stopped,
and Gen. Sheridan came up, pulled
in his horse, and said, Boys, how
is it?' Campbell replied, General
it's a routr He threw his eyes
quick at me- and said: Not quite
that bad! The Eighth and Nineteenth
are scattered, but the Sixth is Solidr
"A young lieutenant, with Nine
teenth Corps badge on his cap, was
hurryine by; Sheridan wheeled
around to him. Lieutenant. where
is your commando? | don't know
the Lieutenant shouted. and was
hurrying on again. Damn you, turn
back and find it, Sheridan yelled,
and passed on. The Lieutenant
stopped. Who was that, scout?'
That was Gen. Sheridan | said. I'll
turn back! he cried.
1T was the same all along the
road; the men were coming back up
the valley faster than they had run
down it; ahead of us they were run
ming toward the road, and lining up
on either side, and as we rode along
there was just one great roar of
cheers"
He told of the ride back to the
front, where the Sixth Corps and
remnants of the Nineteenth had
been sulleny battling holding off
the Confederate Army all the day;
of how the ebbtide that had turned
came roaring back to the fight in a
food of men who could scarce be
held back from the attack until the
lines were sufficiently reinforced
and reformed. And when he told
of Sheridan, bareheaded, riding
along in front of his battle line
where it waited the command to
advance, he rose from his chair,
and his eyes alight with the old
battle fire, he pounded the desk
with his fist. There had been a
lot told and a lot written Of what
Sheridan SAID that day, but here is
what he did say-the very words; l
was there, heard, and these are
his very words. A man, out of the
ranks, called, General, where will
we sleep tonight? Gen. Sheridan
stopped his horse and turned; he
didn't speak loud, but in the hush
that fell his words seemed to ring:
Well sleep in our old camps to-
night, or we'll sleep in hellr And a
moment or two after that he gave
the signal to advance, and the
whole line moved out, cheering like
mad. History tells the rest"

But Kinsella Need Not Imagine
He Can Bluff Hardin Away
From Us.
WE'RE NEXT TO HIS TRICKS
Selling Players Is His Business and
He Figures Pitcher Would
Bring Good Sum.

If Dick Kinsella of Springfield
imagines he is going to get away
with his bluff for the ownership of
Pitcher George Hardin he has anoth-
er think coming. That is the gener-
al sentiment of the Rock Island
Baseball association and the Rock
Island baseball patrons, too. Kin
Sella has been gradually feeling his
way along to see how Rock Island
regarded his campaign to get the
player away. Nothing much was
said at this end of the line and he
appears to have concluded that there
is "a flaw somewhere in the title, SO
he has finally formally made his
claim. In addition to his apparent
impression that Rock Island is.
easy" he has been spurred on by
the quality of ball that Hardin has
been pitching and by his putting a
couple of crimps, right where they
did the most good. in the senatorial
progress toward another pennant.
In Business for Years.
It's an old trick on Kinsella's part.
Since he has been in baseball he has
been running farm" for the ex-
| hibition and sale of players. He
has Systematically advertised his
| stars before the big leagues and he
has. by hook or crook, tried to get
every promising youngster he got
his glims upon. Baseball patriotism
| has, been secondary with him. Win
ming pennants was to be desired
chiefly because in this way he ad-
vertised his players to the best adj
vantage. 1t is believed that his OBJ
lection to the 10 man and the $500
salary limit which he declared he
Would not abide by, was inspired
largely because those restrictions
Handicapped him in his handling of
players.
| Has Other Objects.
| And now Kinsella is after Hardin,
whom Rock Island has had since 1906.
IKinsella's claim is purely technical
which in baseball as in law, is the best
Ievidence of weakness of merit in the
contention AS matter of fact, the
Rock Island association has always re
igarded Kinsella's talk of right to Har
ldin lightly. He figures if he can land
the big pitcher, he will moi
only have probably the most val
uable player the league to dispose
of at the end of the season, but he
will strengthen his own team and
virtually break up in the middle OF
the season the team that apparently
is the only real rival for the pennant
lSpringfield has.
What an ideal stage villain Kin
sella would make.
