The brand new dress suit case OF
the long legged chap upon the ferry
boat, published to the world at large
that his name was Hiram JenkInson.
It also indicated In fresh black let
tiers that his homo was Sandy Marsh,
MI. His clothes were new. That he
was quite a countryman and a back
woodsman was quite patent chiefly
because he had apparently made every
effort to hide ali rural traces. II he
had worn long whlskers and a SLOUGH
hat, people probably would have ta-
ken him for an eccentric urbanite;
they might never have suspected his
hayseed origin. AS 1t was. nom could
be mistaken. Mr.. Hiram Jenkinson
was a countryman, through and
through. In his eye there was o CON
siderable amount Of sbrewdness. This
deepened as he hauled from his breast
pocket a small envelope and read and
reread it's contents. He did this So
cretly. The note inside was type
written. and inclosed with It was a
crisp new dollar bill, through which
wa stuck a cheap brass scarf pin.

This letter, OF course, though Mr..

that a cursory reading of 1T gave the
Impression that 1t related to the pin;
whereas, of course, 1t was directed
solely to the bill. Strange as 1t may
seem, there are many fish in the sea
that as yet have been uncaught, and
Mr.. Jenkinson. unfortunately for him,
was about to nibble at the bait.
Now, the green goods game Is as
old as the hills. 1t Is a scheme based
upon the safe premise that the victim
being as guilty in intent as the mem.
bers Of the gang, will never sQueal.
Messrs. D. C. Wilkes & Co. con.

name Of Shtfty Shift. and another Of

Of these gentlemen were men on whom
the police of the borough Of Manhat-
tan had long had a wary eye. but at
whose door it had as yet been unable
to lay directly any crime.
Mr.. Shifty Shift aud his companion
were working the green goods game
In a manner all their own.

ply great. We don't need no goods,

Messrs. Shifty Shift and Strong Arm
Smith had waited at the ferry to note
the arrival of Hiram Jenkirson. They
cav him. but did not then approach
him. They wanted to be sure they
were not watched.

Believe ME, madame, I am the

you will be well advised. you will go
slow about this equality business.
For, by the faith of man, that way
lies your defeat, since all your eff

c minimize the little difference.
Finally. I must insist that no.
where does woman enjoy so much
privilege. respect and consideration
owing merely to her sex, as in this
country. And nowhere does she exer,
so much influence in public affairs
But politically women must act
through man.
THE wiping out Of their separate
realms, which have both physical and

Of disaster to our civilization"

THE CURE-ALL TARIFF.

As a panacea for all ills that be-
set the body polite, there is
nothing and never can be anything to
take the place OF a republican tariff
to hear the republicans tell about it.
five had a good old fashioned G. o.
p. tariff now. they say, the trifiing
matters OF having foreign trade prac-
tically destroyed. a large part of the
available gold supply drawn out of the
country. the worlds securities market
wiped out and the international finan-
cial fabric utterly broken down in a
single day would be as nothing With
the kind of protection our old repub-
ican forefathers used to dope out
these things would slide off the ma
tion's back as water does from a duck
Such a tariff as they claim TO be capa-
BILE OF framing up would yield revenue
without imports and open up highways
OF trade through hostile fleets and
mined seas, past the guns of the forts
and bring back TO our shores the
boarded gold OF the old world.
oh, it's a great opinion the repub-
licans have of themselves and their
brand OF tariff, but it's a low estimate
they must have Of the intelligence OF
the rest OF the people If they imagine
that any considerable part of the vot-,
ers are going to fall for their line oil

THE PRICE OF CORN.

Some Of the republican newspapers
are trying to stir up the ire OF the far
rners against the democrats by assert
ing that the price OF corn is 10 cents
less than II would have been under
the last republican tariH. and at the
same time they complain, for the
benefit OF those who are not en-
gagged In raising corn. because the
prices Of corn products have not taken
4 tumble. So far as the farmer is con
cerned. he has not been observed Civ
ing away his grain. nor IS II spelling
on his hands. and the rest OF us can
scarcely expect 10 pay less for corn
products and meat fattened upon the
grain so long as the price o. the latter
continues 70 hover around % cents.

downward

MRS. CYRUS NEVER of the NOV

attracted worldwide attention by her
decree, worded so brilliantly and So
precisely that a moving picture kiss

Mrs. Never at a luncheon in Phila

censorship:
Objections like this-objections
based on modesty, forsooth, remind
me of the lady on the boardwalk.
"One lady said to another on the At
lantic City boardwalk:
Why are you wearing such a
thick veil, my dear? One can hardly
recognize You through it
Well, to tell the truth the other
lady answered, in this transparent
blouse I'm ashamed to show my
face"
