we'll how the mothers heart had sorrowed that day
But to little Pierre the boat flew, and the Tapping
sails were great brown wings bearing him back
to land and taking away from him this one beauti-
full day He was not at all glad to see the distant
line that meant land, not at all glad to see it grow
darker and bigger and he lost his joy in the dash
ing waves as he saw his day ending. He pressed
close to his father, looking up wonderingly at the
eagerness in his fathers eyes.

beach--women in short petticoats and white caps
old men and children-the whole village there wait

the village church praying for her child
AS soon as the boat neared the shore, the father
stood up as well he could and lifted the boy high
in the air for the people to Gee, hoping that the
mother was among them. AT first the little dancing
speck was not seen to be child but when at last
the folk saw that it Pierre, great shout of
Joy went up. The women wept for gladness, and
some among them ran to the church. AS they en-

Marie was kneeling she had knelt since noon for
she knew of nothing more she could do for her
child but pray. Marie, Marie, lsten he is given

There was no punishment awaiting Pierre, only

A CAT TALE.
BY Ellen Manly.

The little old woman to town would go
To buy her Sunday gown,
But storm came up, and the wind did blow,
And the rain came pouring down;
And the little old woman, oh, sad to seel
In terrible hdget and fret was she.-
In terrible fret was shel
The little old man was cross and cold,
For the chimney smoked, that day,
And never thing would he do but scold
In the most unmannerly way.
When the little old woman said: Listen to met
He answered her nothing but "hddle-dee-deep
No, nothing but "6ddle-dee-deel'
Then she whacked the puggy-wug dog, she did.
AS asleep on the mat he lay;
And the puggy-wug dog ran off and hid.
And howled in dismal way,
For PIGGY was he of spirit and pride,
And slight like that he couldn't abide
He couldn't, Of course, abide.
Then Muffin, the kitten said, "Deary mel
What state of affairs is thisl
I must purr my very be, purr, see,
Since everything goes amissl"
So, Muffin the kitten, she purred and purred
Till, at last the little old woman she heard
The little old woman she heard.
And she smiled a smile at the little old man,
And back he smiled again,
And they both agreed on charming plan
For walk in the wind and rain
Then, hand in hand to the market town
They went to look for the Sunday gown
For the coveted Sunday gown
Then the chimney drew and the room grew hot.
ArH ffso I1~r~ At
Their old-time quarrels they quite forgot.
And snuggled up close on the mat
While Muffin, the kitten, she purred and purred,
And there never was trouble again, I've heard
No. never again, I've heardl

He's fairy, you see and would stay quite unknown,
And from prying eyes make his escape;
So in order to treasure the secrets he's learned,
He's obliged to turn into this shape
He has millions of little green brothers like him,
And they all live telegraph trees;
So, OF course, any that the wires carry on
They can hear and remember with ease.
Now of course, birthday secrets surprises and gifts
To himself he will carefully keep;
And he'll even help out with suggestions and hints
Whispered low in your ear while you sleep.
But if mischief you plan. or do wrong on the sly,
I'd advise you to think Of it twice;
For that birds bound to know and as sure as can

1t is strange all the things that they hear and thea
know.
And these things very often they tell;
For they fly round at night, when you little ones
sleep,
And they whisper the things that befell
If you've told an untruth, or been naughty-or>rude
BY some means your mama will have heard;
If "a little bird told me-" she says when you ask,
It's that Acknowledgment bird.
I'm afraid there'll be some who won't credit this
tale
(Some grown folks fairy-tale haters),
Who will call the green things on the telegraph
poles
Long names such as glass insulators.
Let them laugh If they will, for we know what we
know;
We won't care if they don't take our word
And nice little secret well have-you and
And the Acknowledgment bird.

Another Tariff Lesson.

Contending for a tariff on Amerl.
can goods The Wool and Cotton Re
porter, of Boston, organ of the New
England spinners points out that
cotton is the money crop of America
Eighty per centum of the worlds cot
ton production comes from the South
it says, two-thirds Of this crop is eX-
ported and yet some ten millions OF
dollars worth of manufactured cot
ton goods are sent back to the Unit
ed States. Not only should America
spin all the cloth it consumes, but its
annual exports to the Chinese En-
pire should be more than $4,000
900. They SHOULD not show steady
decrease.
The reporter comedies that Amer
ican manufacturers save the greater
cost Of transporting raw material,
as compared with foreign countries.
Labor is not too high; iron and
steel from which to construct our
machinery. and coal with which to
run our engines, are all right here
at home The Reporter concludes:
".The American manufactures should
with all the advantages he possesses,
be able to make goods of quality
and quantity to suit our own GUS
sumers." and that is a wise and sure
conclusion.
"But," asks The State, with all
these advantages, cheap labor, raw
material, steel and coal. why is pro-
lection asked for our manufactu-
rers? Why should the wearer OF
cotton cloths be asked to pay Amer
leans tribute for spinning the
cloth?? The producer of the raw
material gets no protection. The
manufactures has the advantage OF
freight saved, because he produces
it here at home. Why should the
manufacturers he placed in abso-
lutte control of the American cloth
market by legislation. when the cot
ton producer only asks fair field
and no favor?
':Plainly. the interests Of the cot
ton planter is that the foreign manu-
facturers shall be given an even
chance under the law to make and
sell cotton goods. The price of the
raw cotton is fixed by competition
of the bidders Of the world and sure
ly selhshness has not gone so far
in the United States that laws will
lie passed to destroy that competi-
ton, in order that the manufacturers
may he enriched at the expense Of
the growers.

Stealing fsryan's Thunder.

ideas put forth by Bryan in his
speeches. In one Of his speeches

defeating the popular will. This was
proclaimed as the main issue in our
politics by Bryan as far back rs
1895.
Here are some more of = van

and used in his speeches. The elm

Tariff on Blankets.

4 %s The season is$rapidly approaching
when; we will have to use blankets
again, and those housekeepers who
will have to buy new supply must
not blame the merchants If they
have to pay more for these crime
necessary articles than. they have ev-
er paid before. The merchant is not
to blame for the increase In price.
In fact, he will not make as much
out Of the selling of blankets now as
he hid when they were cheaper. The
Repu blican party is to blame with ITS
protective tariff policy and its In
famous Payne-Aldrich. tariff bill. This
law puts a specific duty of thirty
three cents per pound on blankets
and an ad valorem duty of forty per
cent. This is a pretty steep tax on
an article we all have to use, but
we will have to pay it or go with
out, blankets. Now let us see how
this tax works as hardship on those
of us who have to buy blankets, and
all of us have to do that sooner or
later if we live.
Il This tax means that the cost OF
a pair of blankets weighing six
pounds, worth, say $3.50, would be
more than doubled. Let us illus
trate. Six pounds at thirty-three
cents per pound would be practically
HI r -
So. This Is the specific duty. Now
add to the 81, the ad valorem duty
of forty per cent on $3.50, which is
81. and you will have a So tax on
blankets that is. worth $3.50. This
would increase the price of the blan-
kets to $3.50, which the consumer
will have to pay for them instead OF
$3.50, which is what they would sell
for If the tax was taken off.
This So tax does not go into the
treasury of the government, but is
collected by the merchant who sells
these blankets for the woolen mills
trust. 1t looks like an outrage for
us to be taxed so heavily for the few
men who compose the woolen mills
trust, but we have no right to kick.
The wooden mill trust is entitled to
protection just as much. as the lum-
Der trust, and the people OF this
county by an almost unanimous
vote has endorsed the action OF their
congressman in voting for a duty
ION lumber.
This is the trouble with the pro-
tective tariff, The congressman who
votes to protect lumber because it is
made in his district cannot consist
emily blame the congressman who
votes tax on blankets when they
are made in his district. Therefore,
when those of us who endorsed the
tax on lumber go to buy blankets
or other tariff protected goods we
have no right to kick. We are only
taking dose of the same medicine
we. have prescribed for others. The
Times and Democrat is opposed to
the protective tariff on anything. 1t
is estimated that it, takes two billion
dollars out of the pockets of the
people and put them in the pockets
Of the protected interests.

sonal responsibility Of officers and
directors OF corporations that break
the law; readjustment of the coun-
trys financial system in such a way
as to prevent repetition Of periodical
financial panics; publicity of cam
patgn contributions not only after
election, but before election as well.
There are many more of Bryan's
ideas that Roosevelt has stolen and
used as his own that we might quote,
but the above will suffice to prove
that what we claim is true. or
course. Roosevelt does not mean what
he says. He only. uses Bryan's old
speeches because he knows that the
ideas advanced by the great Com
moner are popular with the people,
and Roosevelt is seeking popu-
larity just now, and later a good
campaign fund from the big corpora
tions and trusts that he now abuses.
AS the National Monthly says it
is to regain power and exercise con-
troll that Roosevelt now appeals to
the people and to popular issues.
That is all there is to his reform
talk. Back again in the presidential
office, precedent shows that Roose-
welt would sing the same old Repub-
lican tunes of privilege and patron
age. He can't say word about his
old associates now that he did not
know when he was president before.
He had a chance to do reform work
then by insisting on the very ideas
he now steals from Bryan but he ad-
vocated just the opposite. Humbug
thy name is Teddy Roosevelt.
