shiny morning with all the soft
~ ness of spring in the air.
1t was the first Sunday of Helen S
visit. she had awakened to find the
sun streaming in at her window, and
the room filled with the fragrance Of
cherry blossoms. She drew back the
white muslin curtains and looked out
on the old cherry tree that had bloomed
just as profusely every spring since she
could remember.
The lilac bush by the fence was also
in bloom, and a bed of pink and white
hyacinths added their fragrance TO the
air.
over everything was the lazy peace
and quiet of a village Sunday. At ten,
the stiffness was broken by the ring
ing of the church bells. Helen knew
the sounds of them all-the Baptist
Presbyterian and Methodist. That faint
one in the distance was the old Cath
Ole church.
Aunt Mollie insisted on staying home
to take care of Winifred, so that Helen
might go with her father and mother
to church.
AS they went down the walk and
through the front gate. which swung to
after them with the old familiar click,
Helen felt as though she were living
through again a Sunday morning of
her girlhood.
Even the narrow boardw ak and the
stepping stones at the crossings were
the same.
The dazzling sunlight filtered
through the vivid yellow green of the
maple trees and lay in wavering
splotches on the walk. Now and then
a buggy ratified by raising cloud Of
dust from the dry dirt road.
Already several buggies and surreys
we're hitched to the whitev ashed pal
ings or the trees before the church. The
horses dropping heads and slowly
switching tails were part of the whole
lazy atmosphere.
Helen paused to glance at the old
graveyard beside the church There
were a few new stones, marked by their
whiteness among the weather beaten
grayness of the others The moss
covered slab under the williw tree was
her grandmother's. How often as a child
she had Nonderingly read its inscrip-
ton;
Here lies

The dearly beloved wife of Samuel
Pierce.
Who died at the age Of 50. in the year

A faithful wife and a loving mother.
THE dearly beloved wife"-the
phrase had different meaning for
Helen now How much it meanti Had
her grandmother been that-a dearly
beloved wife?" Had her married life
been happy one? Had her grand
father been tender and gentle, or had
he. at times been as coldly Indifferent
as Warren?

REVOLUTION HURTS
TRADE WITH MEXICO
Report For March Shows a
Heavy Falling Off IN
Customs.

Washington, d. c., May z3--Wh1le or
dinarily only Of interest to those con-
cerned in either the export or import
trade, or persons statistically inclined
the bulletin of the department of COM
merce and labor containing the report
of the exports and imports with Mex
leo for the month OF March with the
comparisons between ina. month and
the same months of previous years has
an added interest at this time on ac-
count of the unsettled conditions in
Mexico and the lack of definite knowl-
edge on the part of the average reader
as to just the amount of damage that
has been done to American trade with
Mexico. doubtless the report covering
the month of April will show even
greater losses, on account of the fact
that border disturbances were more
acute at that time.
In almost every case both exports and
imports show a falling off with but few
exceptions, while along the border, that
is leaving out the tidewater ports, in
every case large reductions are shown
Imports from Mexico in the principal
items secured from the southern repub-
lie. such as copper lead, rubber and
hides all shown decreases. the single
item of mahogany alone showing an in
crease during March.
In the export line, wheat and coal
shipments dwindled almost to nothing.
the low figures for coal being largely
Influenced by the fact that the two
Mexican roads entering Ell Paso import
most of the coal used from the mines
in New Mexico and these roads were
tied UP during the entire month.
A remarkable fact however Is that
the market for American manufactured
goods held up remarkably WELL the
exports of agricultural implements of
all kinds, automobiles, carriages and
all kinds of vehicles, and freight and
passenger cars all showed large. in
crease over the March of the previous
year.
Rush Gold and Silver Across.
One of the most striking examples Of
the influence of the war in Mexico is
shown in the imports of gold in bullion
and coin through the border points dur
ing the month. From the report it
would appear everyone in northern
Mexico who had treasure OF this sort
took the first opportunity to get II
across the border In March 1910 there
was imported through the border
ports, gold to the value of s464,5S4, but
during March, 1911, this amount jumped
to $1,SS6,339. As there was no great
mining revival during the month, mines
as matter of fact having suspended
in many cases. and as the figures in
clude coin as well as bullion. 1t appears
that persons and banks having gold in
their possession preferred that it go to
the United States during the unsettled
condition in Mexico. This was especially
true of banks in Mexican border towns
Both imports and exports along the
border showed big decrease as is evil

LA FoLLErrE AND PAPER.


1T is sore point with some OF the
North Dakota insurgent editors that
LsaFollette was responsible for keeping
up the duty on print paper.
LaFollette's action was natural. He
represented Wisconsin. That state
had numerous paper mills. The pom
padour statesman wanted to stand in
at home--and insisted on high duty
on print paper--resardless Of the de-
n1ands Of his newspaper supporters
all over the country.
Fxesident Taft wanted the duty re-
dueed out LaFollette--in this instance
--wa9 p standpatter. He declined to
assist an "A tariff reduction--that would
beneat'the newspaper men.
.sespite their wild ambition to sun
port LaFollette. many insurgent edi-
tors still feel a grievance against the
little Wisconsin shouter. Still they
make an effort to apologize for his op-
posltSsn to their interests.

THE MAINE.

It appears to be finally settled that
the Maine was blown up by means of
a mine--that the explosions within
were caused by an explosion outside
the vessel. Which is to say that the
Spaniards were guilty, to put the mat
ter into popular phraseology-a that
their punishment was just one.
An unofficial statement to this ef-
feet was made some months ago, when
the water was removed from around
the wreck
After all, the matter was not quite
SO important, perhaps, as many APP
pear to have believed. The destruc-
tion of the Maine was not the cause
Of the war. It merely precipitated
hostilities. The Spanish government
had demonstrated its utter unfitness
to govern or control the people of Cuba
Added to inability there was arro-
gance and cruelty in countless in
stances. Public sentiment in this
country had arrived at the conclusion
that something should be done for the
betterment Of a people who were. geo.
graphically, wards of the u. S. .
1t was satisfying to find that the
Maine was destroyed by mine. But
the war between Spain and the United
states would have been fought If the
Maine had never been destroyed.
