cor RID OF LITTLE FlD0
Simple Explanation That Clears Up
Mystery CT Disappearance
of Pet.

When one of the families ia snug
little apartment building in the East
end recently installed in their fiat
halfgrown pup. there was no sign OF
disapproval on the part of the other
tenants. The dwellers on the three
floors are all good friends, and no
such trifles as a bit of barking in the
silent watches of the night or cas-
ual nip on the leg while passing
! through the corridor could be permit
ted to interfere with the prevailing
cordiality. So the puppy was fon-
died and patted with apparent impair
TALLY, and it's owners were proud of
the possession of such a popular favor
lite.
1t is the custom on pleasant even
ings for the occupants of the three
floors to congregate on the front ver-
anda In sociable discourse. while Fido
would take his airing by frolicking
about the yard. On a recent evening
the company was startled by a sud-
den inquiry for Fido. Could 1t be
possible the back gate had been left
open? MIR. Dash, who occupies the top
floor, would be delighted to go to
search of the dear little fellow. Out
through the gloom of the back yard he
fastened. Yes, the gate had been left
open. Far up the alley he could dis
cern the snowy outlines of dear little
Ffdo. Carefully selecting a good-sized
briekbat, Mr.. Dash took deliberate
aim, and the next minute Fido was
scurrying. madly up the alley amid
perfect fusillade of eobblestones.
When he had vanished around dis
tant corner, Mr.. Dash locked the gate
and returned to the veranda.
NO" he declared truthfully, "he is
not back there and the gate is closed"
And the mystery remains insoluble
as on the night of Fido's strange dis
arance.-Pittsburg Gazette Times.

ON ANDEAM MOUNTAIN ROADS
Journey That Would Hardly Be En-
Joyable fer People with Nerv-
ous Trouble.

In going over one of the mountain
roads on the way to the crest of the
Andes the traveller has need of steady
nerves. A passage in 1.-THE Andean
Land" by C. S. Osborn, describes the
journey:
The road Is narrow and rocky and
rutty and steep, with no walls to
speak of except tumbledown ones
that increase the danger by their false
suggestion of safety, and in one place
the wagon would fall 1000 feet if it
should roll off the edge of the noun
tain.
The road has no graceful sweeps
or round, easy curves as it takes its
way up the Titanic heights, but rather
1t zigzags like the teeth of a saw.
ascending in short stretches and
doubling back at sharply acute an
giles, leaving very little room for a
team and wagon to turn in when driv-
en- slowly and carefully and two
abreast.
Now imagine, If you can, the horses
driven madly in a gallop, no trot; that
would-he slow; but in quick, short,
1erky jumps, such as the mustang-like
animals would make under the saddle
when pressed.
The short, high coach follows TIE
cavorting horses, jerking, careening
and springiug like a small boat sail
ing into wildly chopPy sea.
You perceive that the wheels are
strong, and the springs, too, and the
whole rig evidently intended for char.

TARIFF WAR is
BENEFIT ABROAD
Continued from page one


In Hami ton alone there were SO man
ufactured firms established, a part or
all of the capital of which came from
the United States The Illinois Manu-
facturers' association, in a report,
stated that 122 of the leading manufac-
turing concerns of the United States
had established branch plants and
mills in Canada during that period.
These facts are significant. They
mean, on the one hand, that large Am
erican manufacturing concerns have
found it cheaper to establish branch
plants in Canada than to manufacture
in the United States and pay the tar
if duties to get their goods into Can
ada. Every time American concerns
build a branch plant across the line.
they reduce the productivity of Am
erican manufactures in proportion to
their product in Canada. and they de-
prive the labOrer of the United States
of just that much work, while at the
same time reducing the exports of the
country by a like amount If the
Ding ey rates alone were sufficient to
put Canada on it's feet as manufac-
turing nation, will not an additional
25 per cent ad valorem duty come near
making Canada wholly Independent
of American manufactures?
Tariff wars constitute one of the
bad features of protection. Every ma
ton which has ever figured in a tar
iff war has reported that it was bene-
fetal to neither producer nor con-
sumner, and that export trade lost dur
ing the war was never afterward re-
gained

sity of IDAHO and Cheney Normal, were
given reception in Reynolds ha |, and

gates and students was held in Asso-

value if going to conference in gener-
al, especially the annual summer con-
ference, and of the benefit to be de-
rived from the mingling of college men
from the different institutions which
have not had intimate connection with
each other.
Mr. McClain, student state secretary
of Washington, gave an outline of
what the president of an association
should do after he is elected. He en-
phasized the fact that a president
should. before appointing man as the
chairman of committee, explain ex-
act-y what is to be done Then the
commit should get together and adopt
and sign written policy.
M. d. Armstrong, president of the
Y. M. c. A. of W. S. c. and the re-
firing chairman of the Bible study
committee, gave a discussion in which
he said that an enrolment of the old
members should be made before the

social functions should be held.
