met him during the early part of the
war and he was faithful to the end,
es en- following him to Philadelphia.
When Captain Preston recovered
from serious wounds near the close of
the war and went to Washington on
his way North, Aaron stuck with him.
Aaron walked with his master to the
train shed, wearing his saber and belt.
Noticing how down-hearted Aaron was,
the captain asked him if he wanted to
go North" "Golly, master, I'd like
to-"
But Aaron forgot a satchel and went
back to the headquarters to get it.
The train went off without Aaron, and
Captain Preston arrived in Philadel-
phia minus the faithful servant. He
stayed in Philadelphia for several days
visiting friends prior to going to his
home in New York
Before going to the old Kensington
depot to catch his train he went down
to the Washington Avenue depot.
There he was amazed to see Aaron
walking wildly up and down the street
with the satchel, saber and belt. There
was a grand reunion, but it wasn't to
last long. Aaron stopped to talk to
some negroes, and the captain lost
track of him. But he got his belt and
saber, and still has them.
Aaron, it appears, was arrested
when he went back to the quarters
and was brought before General Aber-
to give up the belt and saber, but the
plucky little fellow refused to do it.
! He explained that " a bullet went
clear through that belt and through
Massa Preston's body and Massa Pres
ton wouldn't part with it for a mint.
The general admired the boys nerve
and was also impressed with the
story, and gave him a pass out of the
city.
To Aaron the north was a def
mite place, and he thought that If he
boarded any train going north he
would find the captain. So it was en-
tirely by accident that Captain Pres
/ ton got his mementoes.
Aaron, if he is living, is the only one
that can explain where Ruffins booR
came from-Philadelph North Amer
lean.

Canadians Are Wary

The republican argument that a high
tariff is necessary to maintain 1.-THE high
American wage" is shown up as a
farce, by the presence in several Am
erican manufacturing communities OF
agents of Canadian manufacturers, who
are gathering figures to show hat Can
ada cannot compete against American
wages.
The Canadians, for instance, are learn
ING that men work In the steel mills
twelve hours a day, and seven Of Us a
week for a dollar and a half a day. 1t
is because they do not wish to compete
against the cheap foreign emigrant
labor employed by the steel and other
trusts that some Of the Canadians are
urging the defeat Of reciprocity.
/, And yet, the republican protection
lists have urged all these years that the
great danger to American labor was
tho possibility that it might have 10
compete with the cheap labor of other
countries. The information gathered
by the Canadians knock the legs from
under that ancient contention, SO TAI
as Canada is concerned, at least.
