Madriz' Protest General
Madriz protested not to the United
States alone, , but to all the South
American and Central American re-
nublics. The statements in his tele-
gram are construed by the State De-
nartment as an effort to place IN a
false light the policy OF the United
States in regard to Nicaragua. Some
governments that received his protest
have asked for information from
Washington upon which to base their
replies and there has been an ex-

President Diaz, it Is explained, mere

Secretary Knox decided that the

How Protection Protects.

Protectionists assert that high
tariff rates protect" American work
ingmen. What is meant by the word
protect" The steel industry is one
of the most highly protected indus
tries in the United States. The high
rates on steel products have PRO
tected" the American workingmen in
that industry by driving them from
the mills. Positions formerly filed
by Americans are now occupied by
the cheapest foreign labor.
A report just made on conditions
in the mills of the steel trust at
Bethlehem, Pa, states that "4,725
men, or 81 per cent Of all the en-
ployes, worked ID hours a day; 220
workmen had a 12-hour day except
on Saturday and 4,203 employees had
workday of 101a to IL hours in
length" Thus does protection pro
tect'' the workingman.

The Argus Daily Short Story
Forced Marriage-By Theresa G. Holt.
Copyrighted. 1910. by Associated Literary PresA

Nothing was known about Ralph
Hayden, young man who bought a
small ranch in New Mexico, except
that he was an Englishman. He was
tall and we'll formed, with light hair
and complexion and blue eyes. This.
with a winning smile that uncovered
white, regular teeth. made him in ap-
pearance very attractive. He had
brought $1,000 with him from England.
with which he purchased and stocked
his ranch.
He had no sooner got settled than
the neighboring ranchers called on
him and invited him TO their homes,
lions. This excited a good deal Of talk
among the women at the different
ranch houses. all of whom were Gu
rious to know why the handsome Brit
Usher would have nothing to do with
them. The general verdict was that
he considered himself too good for
them. Nevertheless Hayden was hail
fellow well met with all the men and
soon became popular alike with ranch
ers and cowboys
One day Hayden set out to go to a
neighboring ranch. He was walking
across a field when a bull espied him
and bore down on him from the rear.
Hayden, unconscious of his danger,
continued on leisurely. Suddenly he
saw a horsewoman leap a fence and
rush upon him, swinging a lasso as she
rode. Not understanding the move
ment. he stood still, regarding her with
wondering eyes. Coming near him,
she threw her lasso, but not at him
Turning, he saw that she had thrown
the loop around the horns of a bull
Drawing his revolver, he quickly kill
ed the beast.
The next thing he did was to raise
his hat in a courtly manner to the wo-
man who had saved his life and offer
his thanks. She was a girl about
twenty years old. A coil Of hair was
falling under her sombrero, having
been Ioosened by the jump she had
made over the fence. Her costume
was jacket cut Mexican fashion and
divided skirts of the same material.
Had it not been for YOU" said Hay
den. Il would probably now be either
dead or dying The bull would have
taken me in the back and broken it.
/ shall esteem it a favor if you will
name the way in which ! may best
show my gratitude"

A Friend of the Poor.

Rev. DR.. Charles s. Mills, ranking
among the foremost pulpiteers Of
America, who is pastor Of Pilgrim
Congregational church, one of the
wealthiest and most fashionable par
ishes in st. Louis, surveyed his 25-year
ministerial career last Sunday In an ap-
propriate address. He astonished his
audience by saying that one of the
greatest sources of joy that he has had
has been In intimate association with
the humble and poor. He stated that
he had always served prominent charg-
es, which incladed among their mem
bers many persons Of wealth and fash
ion but added that one OF the greatest
pleasures of his ministry had been
his friendship with the common folks,
those who stand in the humber walks
of life's activities.
He said that humanity Is apt to seem
unattractive to the average man. The
average man loves his own children, he
likes his own cirle of congenial friends,
but as for the general run of men, he
would rather they would go on their
way and he on his. 1t has been a great
discovery to DIR. Mills as a minister of
the gospel to find the lovability of what
is called the average man. There are
many, according to the clergyman, who
are not endowed with riches or high
standing, yet who are ministering, In
their own gentle way, to the needy
around them, following in the footsteps
of the Son Of Man just as faithfully as
those large philanthropists who let stu
pendous contributions go through the
channels of organized charity.
To be sure, they are never heard of,
for their deeds go unheralded, but In
their unique, modest, unassuming way
they are rendering blessed service to
humanity about them.

When he arose to go she said to him:

"As often as you like. but not from

A month later one evening Ralph
Hayden. after pacing the floor for an
hour. swayed by conflicting emotions,
went to Kate MacDonald's home, told
her that he loved her so deeply that
he could ruin himself for her and beg
ged her to marry him.

self for me-" she asked.

Kate started. This was indeed a

his deserving another for her.

asked.

days there was no communication be-

the words: 'T was demented. There
