months, then one morning while I
was skinning a crocodile down on
the banks of the river l saw boat
coming up the stream. There were
four Dyaks pulling it, and some one
else was sitting in the stern. stood
up and watched it, and don't know
what felt like just then. Something
came up in my throat that was big
ger than the ball on Strasburg Cathe-
dral. Ach Colt!
81 think l helped her out of that
boat when it. grounded on the stink
ing mud. l am doubtful to this day
if did. Can you think what task
that woman set herself in coming
from Baltimore to this hell? Can you
imagine it.?
You are Mr.. Hochdorf,' she said,,
when she put her little hand into my
big, dirty paw. 81 want to thank you
for your letter.
'That was all she said. You would
think that l was expecting her, and
that it was.not six thousand miles of
a track between the United States
and Borneo.
"She did not ask any questions.
do you know, she never mention
ed Hanslaw all that day? She just
sat by that little window and stared
at the trees. Only once she looked
at me, and 1 said: Some time be-
fore midnight before l could stop
myself. And she nodded when l
said it.
''She did not eat anything much.
She just nibbled like canary, and 1
knew that she was praying for the
night.
when the darkness fell like a
blanket, she stood up and walked to
the door, and stood up, too.

EUROPE ! DISAPPOINTED
BY new TARIFF Law
FIND COMPETITION WITH MAN.
uFACTURERs HERE HARD.
,'ER THAN Expected. 80. :

:, New. York, March 2G.-lnf0rmation
brought, by some Of those who have
recently visited Europe and confirm
ed by private correspondence, indi-
Gates that u new view is. now taken
in England, and to a less extent upon
the continent. Of Europe. respecting
the effect of the new tariff law.
Last summer European manufactur:
ers and those of Great Britain were
persuaded that the enactment Ola
low tariff law by congress would
greatly, stimulate expectations to the
United States. The Germans were
especially anxious to learn about the
prices, selling costs and the domes.
tic markets. Isl
There is a strong suspicion iii mer-
camille circles In this city that these
representatives were. not able to re.
port as favorably as was hoped. They
discovered, among other things, that
American manufacturers are In bet
ter condition to meet foreign COMPETE
ton, excepting possibly in the high.
est grade of silks and some other tex
tile goods, than they have ever been.
This is explained in part by the
great advance made 10y American
manufacturers. in certain lines at
least, in the foreign markets. To
capture these markets 1t has been
necessary TO perfect system and or
ganizati0n, gain worldwide informa-
ton, to. take heed of manufacturing
processes which are characteristic Of
Germany and Great Britain, and par
ticularly to encourage American in
ventive' ability. sc
Simply a Change Of Method. ~.
President Wood of the American
WOODEN company recently intimated
in his report to the stockholders that
the only factor in the way of estab.
fishing satisfactory competitive con-
ditions, was the lack Of skilled labor.
He also announced that his company
purposed establishing agencies in
Great Britain and later upon the con.
tinent Of Europe. 5>s@
I Some of the large manufacturing
corporations have within the past is
or 20 years, and particularly since
1901. established agencies which as
a whole encircle the globe. The
Standard Oil company was the first
TO do this and at least 10 years be-
f0rB 1tlieG Sovereignty of the United
States over the. Philippines was &C.
knowledged had established an influ-
entail agency at Manila. The Unit.
ed States Steel corporation, also, has,
In recent years, established selling
agencies in other parts of the world
tand constructed great warehouses, in
which may be stored completed com.
modities, SO that there may be nc
delay lin filling orders. n.
An Early Symptom. ',t
The latest information brought
from Europe was based upon a per
sonal investigation which was made
by representative of one of the
larger banks of New York. This state
ment serves in some measure Il
counterast some opinions of the ef
feet Of the new tariff law.
Great Britain and the continent .o1
Europe now recognize that the Am
erican manufacturers possess today
strong competitive ability. They car
compete with the manufacturers
across the seas in the markets of, the
world and have done SO, with a sue
cess which was one Of the most i'm.

CHICAGO A CITY
OF LOUD noise
Over Thirty Million Spent Past
Year There on Musical
Instruments


Chicago, March 2G.-4lcxpendituros
of $3l 100000 last year for musical in
struments and instruction is basis for
the claim that Chicago is the loud
noise" in the musical world. 1t is a
fact that the factories for the manu-
facture of instruments are the largest
in the world, and that the experience
with piano buyers on the installment
plan who skip is altogether colos'
sal. With the factory output OF pianos
in the hundreds daily the sales mach
inery has had to be built on an inter.
tiOnal scale.
The player-pianos for the tribal
Cllieftans OF BorneO and Central Afri'
ca are from Chicago, and savage
breasts in and out of civilization are
soothed by the music made Oh Chi

the cats and other innocents which
lend thei,. help in the musical world.
1t Is also said that more than ST.

make staggering totals. For Chicago

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

Alfalfa is one of the best feeds in the
world. but it is not Il balanced ration.
Alfalfa and ensilage make Il nearly
perfect ration. Corn and ensilage are
fine. Oilmeal or cottonSeed meal and
ensilage are practically as good, Just
because ensilage is a splendid feed it
must not be understood that it is a
complete feed. Animals will live upon
it if the corn ears have been cut into
the silo, as they should always be. but
they will not do their best in the pro-
duction of meat, mutton or milk. Some
concentrated feed is necessary for this.
A close. poorly ventilated stable is
one of the most potent agents in the
spread of tuberculosis. If our cattle
could be kept out in the open every
day in the year we would have very
little tuberculosis in our herds.
The profit in a COW from the
extra amount of milk she will yield
over what she ordinarily gives on CON-
mon pasture or the coarse feeds usually
given her.
A little strainer under the hole when
you draw off the buttermilk will save
itself many, times over in the course
Of a single year.
