that are affected by tariff Legislation

that are affected by tariff legislation
will be discouraged by uncertainty a.
to the future conditions. The prudent
business man prefers to know the ma.
ture of the competition he will have to
meet, before he produces q large
quantity of goods that would reach
the market after the new rates Of duty
60 into effect.
The disturbed business conditions
will not be confined to the industries
directly affected by tariff legisl alton.
When any large industry reduces its
output there Is less work and smaller
compensation for its employees, and q
decreased demand for the materials
used in its products. The effect OK.
tends to other industries and reaches
all parts Ct the country. The uufor-
tunats results of tinksring the tariff
have been demonstrated time and
again, and 1t 10 expected history will
repeat itself on this occasion.
1t 10 hoped the suspense and uncer.
tsinty will not be prolonged. and that
the business interests affected by tariff
legislation will soon be able to ascer-
tain ''where they are a."

Producers Receive Little.

b. F. Yoskum, chairman Of the
hoard of the Frisco system, throws
new light on the oft-repeated cry that
railroad freight rates eat up the grow
er's profit OF farm crops. He tells of
q 9 of watermelons which was loaded
at an o Oklahoma town for shipment to
St. Paul. Tho car contained 1850
melons, for which the grower received
Ave cents each, after having hauled
them Ave miles. The freight on the
car to St. Paul was S75, or seven and
q half cents q melon for the 600.mile
haul by railroad, thus making each
melon cost 124 cents at St. Paul, or
$l3l for the entire carload.
These were the sums paid to the
producer aud the railroad. yet the
shipper who bought from the farmer
sold the melons in St. Paul for S3l5
and the final consumer paid from sc
IS cents per melon, or from $500 to
$3.50 for that same $50 carload. Mr..
Yoakum's point was that the farmers
themselves should organize for coop.
erative marketing purposes, and gel
q larger share OF this 1900 per cent.
| profit for themselves.

Some Good Advice

There 10 no town that does not pos.

and every town is, to Q considerable
extent, what its citizens make It. In.
stead OF com plaining and sulkinR, get
busy and help make your town what
It should be. Resolve that you will
vote, talk and work for q bigger,
better, brighter town. Every man
owes q duty to the community In
which be lives and he can discharge
II only by doing something for its
betterment. The home community IL
entitled to fret consideration when i'm
provements are to be made or when

been given in press dispatches from
Washington, but until the work Of
the special session shall have been
completed there will be uncertainty as
to what commodities will be affected

DEAD" CHILD COMES TO LIFE
Friend of the Family Viewing Body
Sees Tinge of Color In the
Tips of the Ears.

Wray, Colo.-Marie Hesse, the
three-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Hesse, had a remarkable
escape from being buried alive after
she had been pronounced dead by a
physician.
The child had been i'll for some time
and was seized with commissions. She
lapsed into Inconsistencies and Ip-
parently died. The doctor in attend
ance made several heart and lung
tests and pronounced the child dead.
The undertaken thought the girl
was dead. The child was placed in a
white casket and the funeral set.
After the services the family and
friends approached the casket to look
at the face Of the supposed dead girl.
One Of Hesse's neighbors called atten-
ton to faint color in the tips of the
girls ears and the funeral was STOP
ped.
Another doctor was hurriedly sum-
moned and he pronounced the girl
alive. The child was removed from
the casket and placed in bed She
has not yet regained consciousness,
but is alive and the physicians be-
lieve she will recover.

GAVE LIFE FOR HER KITTENS
Champion Rat Killer of Steamship
Meets Tragic Death Answering
News of Her Young.

Brooklyn.-Mary, the mascot cat
and champion rat killer of the Amer
lean Steamship line, is dead She
died, as she lived, on the Atlantic
ocean.
Hers was the death of conscien-
tious mother, for 1t was in trying to
answer the plantive mewing of her
kittens that she was accidentally kill
ed. This tragedy of the sea was re-
ported on the arrival of the liner Phil
adelphia at Southampton.
Mary, the best Of mothers, had made
a home for her kittens in the store
room, and was in the habit of visit
ing them by way of hole in the sa-
loon deck, through which passes a
lift rope. On the night of the tragedy
Mary was taking stroll on deck,
when she heard the kittens mewing.
She turned back, crept through the
hole-the lift was working, and in an
instant the kittens were motherless.
For the rest of the voyage stew
ard was reputed to give the kittens q
daily supply of milk until the liner
reached Southampton.

DECIDEDLY POOR
FARM COMBINATION
Dogs Have More DemoraIizing
Effect on Sheep Industry
Than Cholera on Swine.

Sheep and dogs make a decidedly
poor combination on farm. The
farmer is inclined to be friendly to-
ward the farm dog, for there is big
place for him to fill, but, after all, a
dog is dog, and the whole family
must be held responsible for the mis-
chief done by few. From one town
ship the report comes that the dogs
there killed $11S worth of sheep dur
Ing the past year, says writer in an
exchange. We doubt II all the dogs
in that county are worth that much,
but there seems to be little that can
be done to relieve the situation.
Yet one thing is certain; So long
as the dogs are allowed to roam over
the country in their murderous quest
there will be small chance for sheep
Industry to grow. This seems to have
an even more demoralizing effect on
sheep industry than hog cholera does
on the swine industry.

PAYS TO MASTER
THE YOUNG COLTS
Easier to Keep Youngsters From
Learning Bad Tricks Than to
Break Them of Them.

The earlier a colt is accustomed to
harness the better broken the animal
will be after it comes time for him to
do some light work. 1t is easier to
keep colts from learning bad tricks
than to break them of them. For this
reason have every strap and rope
used by the colt SO strong that there
is no danger of break. Once colt
finds out that he can get away from
the halter or other part of the har-
ness, there will be trouble, perhaps
for all time.
1t is not necessary to make idle
pets of young foals, but they should
be taught to lead at the halter, stand
tied in their stalls, as well as display
manners in the stable, wisely sug-
gests horse trainer, and he adds:
"a wild, tricky foal unbroken when
young, makes a double task when
subjected to the break harness as a
three-year-old. Their first lessons are
never forgotten, and it pays to master
them when young.

Poor Charities.

There are charity societies, as al
the world knows, that only give to the
poor quarter or a half cent Of every
dollar they take in, most Of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to off,
GERS and investigators, for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert Of
Denver, Colo, was condemning these
charities. He said:
"A mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back Is too
new and fashionable, George, to give
away?'
Its the agent of the Alpha Incor-
porated Charities that's at the door,
isn't it?'
Eyes, dear
Then let the coat CO. said George.
It'll be old enough and old-fashioned
enough before it gets to the poor dub
that is shivering for it now"
