OF Clara Passavant and Wilfrid STEM
mis-, with the added intelligence that
the wedding would take place al
Easter. This time there was no mis-
take-the gossips were right.
On various occasions throughout
the winter Wilfrid had tried to see
Eunice-sometimes successfully, but
o often failing-in a sincere en-
deavor and desire to renew their old
footing. But the girl met his ad'
vances with such GOODNESS and pal
pable Indifference that at length he
came to the sorrowful conclusion that
she was hopelessly offended with him
Then, and then only, did he put the
momentous question to the daughter
oil the house of Passavant, and was at
once accepted. She had been ready to
yield months ago; In her inmost heart
she wondered why the man had hesi-
tated so long.
When Eunice received the paper
which Hews SO t%houghtfully sent she

help seeing the paragraph, encircled
as IT was with broad blue pencil
marks. As she took In the OF the

Quite on the impulse Of the mo-

penned this note:

In newspaper interview given at
Nashville, Tenn, October :, clifford
Pipchot said: "The people Of the west
and the Mississippi valley believe in
protection, but they are not greatly
interested in defense Of tariff based on
its alleged virtues as revenue pro-
Queer II is no justin cation of the tariff
to say that 1t pays. This government
is not reduced to the necessity of rails
Ing its revenue by schedules which
rob the people.
The essential fact about the tariff,
as the people see it where have been,
is that it is unjust, a moral wrong,
written by the servants of special priv
llege for the benefit OF their masters,
and intended not to help the small
man make living, but help the big
man make an exorbitant profit. No
amount of statistics will conceal or
modify that fact, or make many SEIZED
ules of the Payne. Aldrich tariff hon
est
The Roosevelt platform adopted by
the New York republicans at Saratoga
says: 1.-THE Payne tariff law reduced
the average rate on all duties eleven
per cent. BY increasing the duties on
some Injuries and arts not of ordinary
use, food product, it turned national
deficit into surplus. Under its first
year OF operation the value Of imports
free of duty was the greatest IN our
history, 81 900 900 900, and the average
weight of duty was less than under
the Wilson law. Under that demo-
cratic law, its great reductions of duty
have not stopped industry nor de-
prived labor of any part of its hire. 1t
gives free trade with the Philippine
islands aud it establishes customs
court. Its maximum and minimum
rates give us for the first time equality
in our foreign trade"
Can it be possible that Mr.. Roose-
welt has not carefully studied the les
sons given him by Clifford Pinchot and
other republican insurgents?

In those days, 1000 years
before the discovery of the lu-

the fires for which it is paying
are NEVER OUT.
Nineteen nine was simply
an average year but, because
of its vast business, the Royal

incurred losses at the rate of
one every minutes and 80 sec
onds the whole year round.
This means that before one

words,
The Royals Fires ire Never Out
In 1909 the Royal" issued
$685. new fire policies and re-
