CHAPTER XIII.
Henry Makes Love for the Margrave

Turing the month following the important inter
- view with Don't Care, Henry was kept busy great
part of the time at Spandau and Potsdam drilling
troops The King whose passion for reviewing his army
engrossed his thoughts to extent that bade fair to
suppant all other business of State, usually kept his
Captain by his side.
Since the momentous evening at The Tabagie Grum-
kow had refused to speak Henry though prior that
stormy the Baron had evnced great kndlness for
the Kings favorite hoping, doubtless to him.
The King noticing Grumkows coldness called Henry S
attention to it.
"Grumkow seems to hold resentment against you for
having called him liar said the King chuckling in
amusement, Its strange that he should become angry
because of so small matter"
Henry made no reply, and after moment his Maj
esty remarked, He is dangerous enemy.

A New Dance.
Paris has started new dance says
an exchange, which is the outcrop of
aviation. It's name is L'Aeronnette,
and it has been introduced by M.
Leport, president of the Academy OF
Paris Dancing Masters. M. Leport
has submitted his dance to the mem
bers of that august body, and they all
congratulated the inventor on the
great work he has given to the world.
The dance is composed of four dis
tinct movements. First, the couples
perform slow step, initiating the
rolling" Of the aeroplane. Second,
the couples raise their arms slowly,
indicating that the aeroplane is rising
in the air, whereupon they advance
with little steps. Third illustrates the
unsteadiness Of the aeroplane at the
start, trying to recover its balance.
Fourth finally describes the descent, a
kind Of long, sliding step. A fifth
movement Of sensational order
should be added-namely, the "fall'
of an aeroplane. Some couples would
have to come down on the floor with a
crash. while others would come to the
rescue pretending to pick up "the
pieces"

ENORMOUS TRIBUTE,

The Commoner: The press dis
patches say that the price of ready
made clothing will be increased on
account of the Aldrich law to the
amont of $3.50, 600, 900 in the aggregate
that is, that the purchasers OF this
kind of clothing will have to pay that
much more than they did last year for
the same amount. This does not cover
the increase on other kinds of wooden
goods, and it does not cover the in :
crease as heretofore made because OF
the tariff on wool.
These figures however, show what
an enormous tribute IS being collected
from the people because OF the 80 per
cent tariff on wooden manufactures
When it is remembered that the tariff
collected on wool amounts to about
sixteen millions and that the tariff
collected by the wool growers because
of the tariff on wool amounts to some
thirty millions, if the tariff is added
to the price Of wool, it will be seen
that the manufacturers collect from
the consumers a great deal more be-
cause of the tariff on wool than wool
growers collect from the manu-
facturers. Who will say that tariff
on wool is in the interest of the
masses? Who will say that justice to
the wool growers requires that they
be potected at such enormous cost to
the taxpayers?

MANUFACTURERS AND THE
TARIFF

Pioneer Press: The recent down
ward revision OF the tariff is produc-
ing some strange results. K. and J.
Dick of Glasgow have decided to
establish a factory IN New Jersey in
order to supply their American trade
with their betting product. The
biggest lead pencil manufacturer of
Nuremberg, Germany. has decided to
locate branch factory in the United
States for the same purpose ana
some Of the French silk houses are
arranging to establish American
branch factories.
American labor will, of course,
gain, by this action, but 1t means
the loss of all former revenue received
from the tariff on importations in
these lines. It is an acknowledgment
on It's face that the revision OF the
tariff was upward and that the
foreign manufacturers have found 1T
more profitable to. establish branch
American factories than to stand the
tariff extortlon.
