she says 1t automatically whenever
she has occasion to give her name,
whether to a pupil. a casual acquaint-
ance or a shopkeeper.
Recently she broke her eyeglasses,
and took them TO an optician for re-
pair. She gave directions to the clerk
and promised TO call for them at the

Not until she was well on her way

Certainly, madam; here 1t is-'Su-

TARIFF.

Our present tariff system was
established and defended by such
men as Hamilton, Clay, Webster
and all the early prohibitionists
that our various manufacturing
industries might be established.
So must all new countries. Can
ada established such a tariff and
this tariff furnishes revenue un-
til the infant industries r. well
established, that is until they can
produce the commodities as cheap
as the foreigner can produce and
sell them in this country. Trans
portation charges must be added
to the goods produced in a for
cign country. When our manu-
facturers can produce the goods
as cheap as the foreigners can,
the tariff still protects but ceas-
es to produce revenue This gives
us a tariff for protection only,
and is the logical outgrowth Of
the infant tariff. These infants
grow up and learn how to com
bine and fix prices. When com
bination is possible. Competition
is impossible. The greater the
number Of industries that have
reached this point, the greater will
he the demand for increased pro-
ter.;11, for the reason that i'll
creased cost of living growing
out of the increased prices in
creases the cost of production.
There are many illustrations of
this in II country. There arc
old men who can remember TAX
ing the horse to the blacksmith
shop the blacksmith would make
four new shoes, make the nails,
shoe the horse and charge one
dollar. Now the smith takes
factory nails, shoes the horse and
charges two dollars. Tariffs of
this kind always increase prices.
Our system has grown to be a
tariff for protection, During the
time of the civil wal and later
we had an average tariff of abou
20 per cent. Now we have au
average of more than so PEI
cent.

Art Of Letter Opening.

Secret service agents of certain of
the foreign offices and police depart
ments of foreign countries have
raised letter opening to a fine art.
Some kinds of paper can be steam
ed open without leaving any trace,
and this simple operation Is followed
by reburnishing the flap with a bone
instrument. In the case of a seal
a matrix is taken by means of new
bread before breaking the wax. When
other methods fall the envelope is
placed between pieces of wood, with
edges projecting one-twentieth of an
inch. The edge of the envelope is
first ~fiattened, then roughened, and
finally slit open. Later a hair line of
strong white gum is applied and the
edges are united under PRESSURE

Benefit Social for the Baseball
Boys.

Tuesday evening the ladies of
Falls City gave a benefit social
for the baseball club. Many of
Falls City's citizens came out to
help the boys. The social was
held in the city park and ice
cream and cake was served at the
price of Is cents per person.
The Humboldt band furnished
very nice music which also as
sisted in drawing the crowd.
About $50 was realized clear of
expenses. The park has twenty
five new benches which makes it
a much more desirable place for
picnics and ~socials. The new
fountain was also a nice improve

The Mother of the World.

Marriage is the mother of the world,
and preserves kingdoms and fills cities
and churches and heaven itself. Mar

house and gathers sweetness from ev-

societies and republics and sends out
~colonies and feeds the world with deli

order and exercises many virtues and
promotes the interest of mankind and
is that state of good things to which
God hath designed the present consti-

SAFER METHODS OF MINING
System Used In German Provinces
to Lessen the Number of Disas-
trous Explosions.

There have been so many disastrous
explosions of dust and gases In deep
coal mines in various parts Of the
world, caused in many instances by.
the use of explosives in tearing the
coal asunder, making 1t easy for the
workmen to remove it with their tools,
that a great effort has been made
among engineers and mechanics to
find a safer method Of putting the
coal In condition to be easily removed.
In Germany a system is being used
that promises to go into general use.
Instead of the powder or other power
full explosives being used, holes are
drilled deep into the coal vein just as
If blasts were to be inserted; but In
stead of the explosives that SO often
set off a lot of accumulated gas or
dust, a pipe is inserted and a heavy
pressure of water forced into the
block of dry coal. The water finds
its way into the %crevices and pro-
duces others, and in a short time such
a pressure has been brought to bear
on the coal that 1t opens up and Is
ready for the men with their picks
and shoyels, and no dust or dry gas
has been formed. 1t is stated this
method is much safer, and Is healthier,
even more rapid, as there Is no loss
of time by the men waiting for a
mine or shaft to clear Itself Of the
poisonous fumes produced by the ex-
nlosiyes.

One OF the sensations of yesterday, a
day remarkable in the annals of Con-
gress, was the resignation of Senator
Bailey of Texas and his subsequent re-
consideration of his action The an
nouncement Immediately after the ad-
journment that Senator Bailey had re-
signed came as bolt from the sky. 1t
Of wonder and speculation as to the
cause.
Senator Bailey's action appears to
have been the result of hasty determi-
nation, modified by subsequent reflec-
tion and yielding to the arguments OF
friends. He resigned in a sudden spell
OF pique over the vote Of all the demo-
Gratis of the Senate. except himself and
two others. in support of the Arizona
constitution. which provides, among
other radical features for the recall of
judges.
Senator Bailey was unwilling to be
Identified with a democratic member

He wrote out his resignation and
handed it to the Vice President who
refused to lay it before the Senate.
He also telegraphed II to the Governor
OF Teas, who refused to accept it. In
the afternoon he was persuaded by his
friends TO withdraw his telegram to the
governor.

AND MURPHY
MAINTAIN SILENCE
Neither Makes Any Announce
ment Regarding Recent
Statement by Dix.

NEW YORK. March 4.-William F.
Sheehan and Charles F. Murphy, leader
of Tammany Hall, held a long conference
today, but neither has made any an
nouncement concerning a reply to Gov.
Dix's statement of last night urging Mr..
Sheehans withdrawal as a candidate for
the United States senatorship to succeed
Chauncey NJ. Depew.
Daniel F. Cohalan, Murphys political
adviser, this morning voiced his belief
that the governors statement would not
materially affect the lineup Of legisla-
tors at Albany, and predicted that Shee-
hans supporters would continue their
support until January, if necessary. Mr..
Murphy himself refused to say one word
and MIR. Sheehan would not receive re-
pOrters.
Edward NJ. Shepard. Mr.. Sheehan's most
serious democratic opponent until he
withdrew recently, issued a statement
praising the governors stand, which, he
says, is in accord with the opinion anu
wish of the overwhelming majority of
the democratic party in this state"
Several democratic legislators today ex-
pressed views on Gov. Dix's statement,
but their opinions were conflicting as to
whether any material change in the bal
loting would develop next week.
