The emperor explained what he

with $1,250, and the slip was carried

IF you start with that sum they will

said. So the merchant prince wrote

This was approved, and the money

some one else had to write out the first

Because railway equipment
companies lack business for their

orders at prices so low as to ell

roads have placed a few orders.
And it is this sort of business

Q a 8 TO a
Animals Do Not Fear
Death.

Death and the fear Of death
are inconceivable to the animal
mind" says D. L. Sharp, in his
book of essays, "The Fact of the
Fields" In support of his point
he brings in a multitude of first
hand observations, as often see
ing a fox after evading pursuing
hounds return on his tracks and
try to continue the game which
both have been enjoying. He is
in direct opposition here to Rud-
yard Kipling, whose jungle sto-
ries are founded upon the fear of
the hunted, the principle of dread
prevailing among wild animals.
Perhaps to bring both writer's in
to agreement, we should say,
that fear of man per Sc, is nat
ural to the hunted, and this may
arise from other causes than from
dread of the death that he might
irflict. Mr.. Sharp relates the
exciting tale of the natural his

The Tariff Necessity.

The tariff question is the one
that most earnestly stirS the hos
iery manufacturers at their meet
ing in this city, and their exper-
ience with the present Democra-
tic tariff induces a natural eag-
erness for the restoration of the
protective system under which
the industries of the country
were built up and made prosper
Gus.
Conditions resulting from the
war have demonstrated how es-
sential it is that this country
shall be prepared to depend upon
itself. to be as free from reliance
upon foreign products of any
kind as it is possible to be. We
have the richest markets in the
world, and it is only a stupid pol
icy of a near free-trade tariff
which takes those markets from
our own manufacturers and wage
earners and hands them over to
the foreign producer.
But the war has done much for
the present to hold up the inflow
of foreign goods at the same
time that it has strengthened the
protective sentiment. 1t has
made it evident that if we are to
be independent in all lines of in
dustry it can only be under d
permanent policy of protection
one that not only will encourage
the building up but one that car
