was Young lieutenant in the British
army.
The English officer andasis wife
lived with their small daughter Meg
in quarters just outside the barracks.
Rama was little Indian orphan
boy who had lived with the Moores
and was Meg's devoted slave.
One morning the lieutenant came in

from the south" he said, and report
that there is huge tiger ranging
about in the swamgs a few miles out
Of town. Not one OF YOU must Ven
ture in that direction
About noon Mrs Moore called Rama
and told him to take Meg in the little
wagon over to the north side of the
barracks and gather some wild flowers
which grew along the banks Of the
stream. So Meg was tucked under
the big. white umbrella and Rama,
with his head protected by a turban
and a white cloth around his waist,
set out drawing the load, his brown
skin shining in the hot Indian sun.
Presently Meg fell asleep on rug
he had spread on the ground, so the
boy sat still listening to the water
ltrickling over the stones.
Then out Of the hot midday silence
Of the jungle he heard a sound-a
soft. pit-pat, pit-pat, pit-pat. Some
creature was creeping ups on. them
through the tangled bushes. He lis
tened. The sound came from back in
the underground He knew by the
heavy tread what it was. Then
through the leaves of the bushes he
peared and caught sight of the great
cat-like animal crawling toward them
the tiger of India.
Closer and closer he crept. And
Meg never stirred. The boy was
paralyzed with fright Then the. baby
raised her sunny head. Her hand
touched a long vine which swung
from the limb above.

Baby keep STILL Rama take home"
Selling the child in his left arm, he
quickly tied her close to him by his
urban cloth Just as he finished the
tiger leaped. But as the animal
sprang Rama also leaped and grabbed
the vine far above his head. The
tiger rolled over on the ground. Rama
gave a push with his feet against the
tree. and the vine swung him far out
over the bank, then he swung back
again to the tree, the tiger watching
every move, ready to leap again. AS
he toUched the tree again he gave a
fierce shove that set them swinging
again. and this time they swept over
the tigers head, over the bank and
right to the bushes above the oppO-
site side of the stream. Then Rama
let go. They fell softly into the
bushes unhurt But the tiger had fol-
lowed their course and as he saw them
swing out into the air he sprang, 100.
But he missed his aim and fell down
on the sharp, jagged rocks which Gov
1ered the bel OF the creek. And there
he lay with a broken back.
1t did not take Rama long TO fly
home with Meg in his arms, and in a
few minlItes the whole garrison was
out. Lieutenant MOore's rife put an
end to the animals misery.
SO now in cool England Rama lives
with his white friends, while Meg is
growing up into big girl. And on
summer evenings when they sit down
to talk over old times Meg perches
on the tiger skin rug to listen to how
Rama saved her when she was bit
of a baby in India.

ROASTING OYSTERS.

In old Creole days it was the custom
to have parties at which the bellies and

PROTECTIVE TARIFF
Chautdwqua Paper By J. M.

The question we are about to take up for discus
sion at this meeting is momentous topic and feel
safe in saying that has been debated pro and con
as far back as the mind of man runeth and one that
will be arged. with much heat and conviction on
both sides, as long there is government on earth

may hear my argument read it, that any remarks

If the above table is correct. and it is correct
and if the protective tariff system is responsible for
the great difference in wages received by our wage
earners and those received by our wage-earners of
Europe and it certainly is so responsible then it is
beyond me to understand how it is possible for any
who is compelled to his bread by toll to SO
forget his own interests to want to change the
protective system The American laborer is better
educated than his foreign brother. He has better
opportunities for acquiring information concerning
public affairs than is afforded abroad. He knows
the value of the franchise and knows how to exer-
else and can be counted upon do the right and in
telgent thing when it comes time to the protecting
the protection which protects him.
The way to keep America prosperous is TO keep
the American workmen employed. To do this we
must prevent Europe from taking the American
market. You can not employ in European
factories to make goods for American consumption
without thIowng American workmen out of en-
ployment. What advantage do we gain by being
able to buy foreign made goods cheap If to do we
first compelled to shut off our forge and loom?
What would it profit us to have Europe take our
market while we are seeking theirs? The American
market stands supreme of all the markets of the
world. 1t amounts twenty-seven billion dollars
Guiding the United States, amounts to but twelve
billions annually.
do we want to give up the home market and
take chance on the foreign market? hope not
1t does not appeal to me as a wise proposition
My plan is to keep the American workman en-
ployed pay him good wages, keep him happy
make it possible for him to buy goods made by his
fellow citizens, make the tariff sufficient to pro-
tect the American workman, but not so high as to
cause an imitation of prices, to be exact should
like to see the tariff just enuf to make the differ

that our own workmen find employment in
making goods for home consumption, hold the
home market, and thus maintain the high standard
OF wages and living. In conclusion 1 wish to say
that if protective tariff has done all these things

that as we have learned from past experience I say
it protective tariff has given our workman the
great advantage he has, if protective tariff has
caused us to be so justly proud of our commercial
standing, if protective tariff has placed our market
as the standard for the aim of the entire world
then if it has done all this, 1 say let us forget

NO KICKERS THERE

l hope to 60 to the realms above,
When l lie down to die;
/ hope that choirs all clad in white
Will greet my wandering eye.
l know that I'll be filled with JOY
In regions free from care
For angels tell me in my sleep
There are no kickers there:
Though rugged be the jasper pave,
No soul will dare complain;
Though sunlight shines the ages through,
No spirits call for rain.
Though crowns be half size too small,
No seraphs tear their hair,
And all is joy above
For there are no kickers there,
The music may be out of tune,
No one will hold his ears
The robes may not be tailor made,
There'll be no means nor tears;
The sandals may be often worn.
None ask better pair
For glory to the Lord of Hosts!
There are no kickers there.
And when the celestial council
Call for paving on the street,
The man who gets the contract
May walk onward swift and fleet;
No spirit will injunction bring,
Or cranks or oroakers swear;
The realms above are free from chumps,
There are no kickers there.
Then take me from this vale of tears.
Where cranks come to the front,
Where men who never work or toll
Still lie around and grunt;
[ long to wear celestial robes
And climb the golden stair,
For we'll l know that in those lands
There are no kickers there SELECTED

MORE MEMBERS FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA


We wish more of the inmates would join the
Chautauqua circle. The meetings are held every
two weeks, on Sunday afternoon. in the school
room. The work is both educational and highly
instructive. The least we can say for the Chau-
tauqua is that it is of the educational features
of the prison. Chautauqua work on the outside
world is not any more successful in it's way than
our prison Chautauqua is successful in its way
here. Many of the interesting and instructive
papers read before the circle, have been reprinted
from the Mirror in numerous papers which we get
on exchange. Surely, this speaks we'll for the
work which is being done by Chautauqua.
But we need more members in order to be more
successful. We wish to make this year the
banner year" of Chautauqua work in the his
tory of the institution. Do not be averse to join
ing because you do net happen to be college
graduate; ideas intelligently penned on paper is
the only requisite. The president of the circle
will gladly assist you if you need assistance.
Think the matter over seriously and, should you
conclude to join the Chautauqua circle, make re-
quest addressed to The President of the Chautau-
qua Circle,'' sign your full name and register
number and give the same to your officer who will
see that it is delivered. All applications will
have careful attention.
