criticisms are just and some are Wfdc

The truth IS that under the old Dro-

the home industry The excess Of tlE
tariff over the difference in the cost Of
production here and abroad was not
regarded as objectionable because fr
was supposed thaJ competition between
those who enjoyed the high protection

manufacture The evil OF excessive
tariff rates, however, showed itself u

I'VE have a mighty good girl who
got word that her uncle was very i'll.
She asked to be allowed to go away
for few days and go to the funeral.
After week had passed we COM
menced to get nervous. So a note
was sent to her inquiring when she
would be able to return and how her
uncle was.
I'VE got a reply something like this:

His Real Calling.

There is a writer in New York who
has achieved little success. but who,
being amply supplied with worldly
goods, refuses to be discouraged So
he keeps turning out books the merits
of which he earnestly attests by word
Of mouth and heavy purchases from
the publishers He is a long time
friend of Simeon Ford, boniface, wit
and philosopher. That Mr. Ford is
the only one who ever read all of his
friends books probably furnishes a
reason why the attentuated hotel man
is one of the most solemn looking Of
humans.
They we're at dinner recently when
the author said: Sim, you've been
awfully kind to me-you are my real
audience, for you've suffered like
friend and read all l have written
Sometimes think that have made a
great mistake and l am not really an
author after ALL"
II think you're right" assented Mr..
Ford You're a born chemist"
"How's that" suspiciously asked
the author.
Well" remarked Simeon, every
book you write becomes a drug on the
market"
