BAD FOR TOMMY

They were two newly-arrived emil
grants, and having wandered far
from the paths of civilization, had
fallen into the hands of a dusky saw
age chief. The day following their
capture their captor ordered them to
go and gather fruit.
In due time the first returned, bear
ing a plentiful supply of grapes.
"Was bringst thou?" asked the
chief.
Grapes, guv'nor."
"Then swallow them whole"
A peal of discordant laughter
greeted this order, and the chief
frowned.
why do you laugh?" he growled.
Sorry, guv'nor," apologized the
prisoner, wiping his streaming eyes,
and striving to smother his convul-
sive chuckles. 81 was just thinking
of nay poor pal, Tommy. He's bring
ing cocoanuts!"

Jones, overcome by fatigue as the
result of heavy day~at New York.
fell fast asleep in the train on his
homeward journey.
On the rack above, fellow trav-
eler had Deposited a crab, which, in
its way, was of somewhat adver-
turous nature. .--.. -.
At any rate, awakening while
Jones still slept, and finding its sur
roundings rather dull, the crab set
forth on a tour of exploration.
By careful navigation he reached
the edge of the rack. Then suddenly
the train gave a lurch, and the next
moment found Mr.. Crab struggling
on Jones' shoulder, and clnging with
great determination to his ear.
There was general litter in the
compartment, litter which soon de-
veloped into really hearty laughter,
for Jones, instead of screaming, as
any ordinary being would have done,
merely murmured sleepily and sheep
ishly:
LET go, Eliza! l tell you, Eliza,
I've been at the office all the even-
ing!"

WooIens and worsteds.

N. j.. stone, formerly Cnl0I SIatlStlc10n
of the Tariff Board, in the Century.
Any who has travelled abroad or
had occasion to compare foreign prices
of cloths and dress goods with those
prevailing in this country knows that
On the average they can be bought
in Europe, particularly in free-trade
England, at about half the price usual
ly asked for similar goods at home.
AS the investigation of the tariff board
has shown, there are many cloths on
which the difference in price is not SO
great, particularly o. the liner grades,
while, on the other hand, the American
price is more than double the English
on some, of the medium and cheap
grades of cloth.
But, on the whole. it is safe to state
that prices on wooden and worsted
cloths are about double those in Eng
land. The difference in price repre-
sents largely the toll paid by 80 odd
million Americans for the support Of
the half century old WOODEN industry.
We have all been vaguely aware of
that fact, and yet have submitted to it
Cor the ultimate good of creating a
