longer than four years. The en-
forcement of this regulation will
take from among US at the end of
tn is year Rev. c.. G. Wier. Mr..
Wier has endeared himself to this

life among US has been shining
example of the blessed faith which
he by precept has taught US. All
feel the deepest regret and sorrow
at his going away from US, as all
will miss deeply the influence Of
his pure and upright life and pres

among whom he may be sent will
find ia him a profound preacher, a
devout follower Of the Master, and
. gentle, tender and faithful friend
and pastor.

The special one-mill Confederate

people Nov. 5 is not effective until

after the fling of the tax rolls of

A MARRIAGE

A FRIEND of mine once made
n trip to the city. The
L \ road led across the mountains,
and on the way he sat down on a wa
tering trough % eat his lunch. Here
he was overtaken by : man who seemed
to be in a hurry ard in whom he reeoE-
nized a peasant of whom he had often
bought firewood and produce The
peasant at first seemed anxious to
avoid him and hurried past, but sud-
denly he turned back and walked to-
wards the spring.

The peasant did not answer, and for
a while they walked together in 81

prices on wood and cattle. He wanted
to sell And then they began to talk
about the tragedy.

Sometimes. when night is creeping

And all the world about Is dim,
And he must go to SleepytoWn
You lie down at the side Of him
And whisper soothing little things
In childish words, such as you frame
To tell the sound OF beetle wings
And how the firefly gers it's flame.
And soon the world grows darker yet
And to the little fellows eyes
Strange, hidden dangers now beset
The shadow places in the skies,
But you speak low and comforting
And tell him none Of them are
there,
That near him is not anything
But what is kind and good and fair
Then trembling come bis little hands
Out through the dark and find your

So very very stin you keep.

Shall fare into an unknown night
And shall yearn for the stars that

WILSON WOULD Go
SLOWLY ON TARIFF
Revision Under
Democratic Rule Would
Not Be Too Sweepipg.

Sea Girt, n. J. Aug. 1.-Revision of
the tariff should not be made In one
sweep, but should be gradual and thor
ough, in the opinion of Gov. Wilson, as
he has announced. The governor so
declared in his first discussion OF the
question for publication since he wrote
MS speech Of acceptance and after a
lOng conference this afternoon with
representative Redfield, Of Brooklyn,
whom he considers one of the best in
formed men in the country on the
tariff.
we are all agreed on that" the gov
ernor said, when interviewers asked
him If his views conceded with those
of Mr.. Redfield on a gradual reduction
of the tariff.
After the conference. Mr.. RedfieId
told the reporters that he and the gov
ernor had talked on three topics-the
tariff, the trusts and the scientific
training of young farmers as a means
of lowering the high cost of living.
we talked on the need OF a general
downward revision on almost every
schedule in the tariff" Mr.. Redfield
said. The revision should be thorough,
but should be made by degrees. we
should make progress slowly. in my
opinion, instead of trying to clear too
much at one jump.
The governor has his own views
as to the thoroughness and moderation
in dealing with the trusts. We talked
considerably about them. It is my
opinion that the governor believes the
government should first establish it's
own policy so clearly that it can be
readily understood, instead Of being
misinterpreted-"
The governor was deeply interested,
Mr. Redneld said, in scientific training
OF young men in farming
