try in this notable increase in Cuba's
imports. In September. 1891, effect was
given to a provisional agreement with
Spain under which certain specified prod
ucts of this country entered Cuba at ma
terially reduced tarif rates. Cuban i'm
ports from the United States for the ten
years Immediately preceding the operation
of that agreement show an average year
ly value of about S1l.0O0.O00. Under the
influence of the agreement the purchases
from this country increased TO an aver
age of s21.OOa0OO for the next three years.
The so-called Wilson tariff act brought
the agreement TO an end in 1894 and our
war of independence reduced the sales
to this country to an average of less than
s10.0000Oo for the next four years. With
the trade recovery that attended the
American occupation American sales in
creased to an average of nearly S24,0oo,O0o
for the period 1893 TO 1905, inclusive.
Reciprocity's Eject Noted.
In December. Iso3 effect was given to
the reciprocity treaty which still con-
tinues in force. Due to a great extent to
the advantages secured by this agree
ment, in part to a more energetic and
intelligent selling effort at this end. and
in part to general prosperity and greater
purchasing power at our end, the sales
OF your country show a notable eXpan-
sion in recent years. In all probability
the imports from this country last year
represent considerably more than Cuba's
total foreign purchases Yet even that
fair advantage may be somewhat in
creased.
Practically all of Cuha's importers and
merchants are Spaniards, my countryman
is more a man of the soil. and not a
tradesman. He wants plantation if nc
is rich. a farm if he is poor. Many adopt
professions-law, medicine. engineering
although many of them are now going
into business. The Spanish merchant
buys, just as your merchants, where he
can get the best terms. There is much
in the list of Cuban requirements that you
cannot properly supply. Naturally the
wines of France and Spain. to which my
people are accustomed. are preferred to
those of this country.
'Cuba's growing importance to the
American export trade can be no more
forcibly illustrated than by the statement
that its total foreign trade at the pres
ent time is greater than any Latin-Ameri-
can country. with the exception of Brazil
and Argentina. In 1872 the foreign trade
of Cuba amounted to $29s $50. 569. of which
sl25, ,SO2. 2n wer imports and $l72 97S. 800 were
exports. The United States furnished 50
per cent of the former and took nearly
81 per cent of the latter"

Stockmen Get Caught.

Dozens of southwestern Iowa
stockmen, including several from
Shenandoah were "stuck" by the tao
tics of the authorities in Omaha and
st. Joe Wednesday who had charge
Of the hoof and mouth disease quar-
antine.
stockmen were notified Monday
that the Iowa quarantine had been
lifted and as consequence shippers
rushed many trainloads of stock into
the Omaha and st. Joe markets.
After the stock had arrived the
authorities changed their minds and
conditioned the lifting of the quar-
antfne by saying that all stock from
infected states must go into the
quarantine pens and be killed 36
hours after entering the yards. The
buyers took advantage of this chance
and offered only very low prices
which the stoclmen could either ac-

No effort was made to grade stock at
all, and fat, lean and young and old
stuff was all stuffed into the same
pens and sold for a lump price

Not Many Honest.

How deep is your honesty? Prob
ably you wouldn't rob blind man,
or take pennies from baby-at
least we want to believe that you
wouldn't. But if the man at the cigar
or candy counter by mistake handed
you back too much change and you
saw the error, would you call his at
tention to it and return the excess,
or would you chuckle, pocket the
swsg and slave your conscience:
well, it was up to HIM" The 9th
err day a business man gave a num-
ter. of coins to the cashier and told
her to give an extra coin to each of
the first twenty-five persons getting
change. She did so. Eight pocketed
the change without even looking. .Ig-
norance, therefore, lets them out
But the other seventeen knowingly
kept the money that didn't belong to
them mine men and two women Six
only stepped up and did the right
thing two women and four men.
Analysing these figures, we have so
per cent of honesty among women
to a bit over 20 per cent among men.
Is that, in your opinion, about the
average or wasn't the test decisive.

son to pronounce the words which
would make them man and wife. Mr.
Morrow thought of Judge Evans the
first thing and went to the court
room and told the judge he was
wanted Immediately in the clerks Of
flee. The judge hurried down and
when he found it was a wedding he
was slightly taken aback. The couple
looked mighty anxious and the judge
went through with his part of the
program in fine style.
Following the ceremony the groom
slipped the Judge two silver dollars.
The judge handled them for sec
ond and then gave them to the bride.
The couple were George Mahren-
holtz, of Red Oak, and Enid Letter,

tions all around and the happy young
couple hustled from the court house
and went to the depot where they
