One day the whole family were
away leaving Duke to look after
Things while they were gone.
Dick wanted to take him along
but it was necessary for some one
to stay and see that nothing went
wrong while they were away, and
it was decided to leave Duke III
charge.
When they returned he did not
meet them at the gate az usual.
Dick felt that something was
wrong, for it was the first time
Duke had failed to welcome him
since Dicks father had brought
him home three years ago.
1t was a bitterly cold evening
and the family fastened to get bn-
to the warm house, all but Dick
who went in search Of his play
fellow.
| He found him lying in a gap in
the fence where an unruly animal
had torn it down in an effort to
get into the corn field, where
was great pile of corn that
had BEEN husked and piled on the
ground.
| Not an animal had gone through
the gap. The dog had evidently
stayed there the most of the day,
and almost perished with the cold
Poor Duke was taken into the
house by the fire, and cared for
until he had fully recovered from
the exposure.
AS said before, Dick was very
proud of Duke.

Jack and Jill.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To draw a pail of water;
Jack fell DOWN and broke his crown
And Jill came tpmbling after.
Little Jane went up the lane
To hang her cloths drying;
She called to Nell to ring the bell
For Jack and Jill were dying.
Nimble Dick went UP SO quick
He STUN BLEED DER a timber;
He pulled his bow to shoot crow
And killed the cat in the window.
Careful Mat picked up the cat
And flung her in the water;
The fish around came at the sound
10 see what caused the splatter.
Thus spoke pike, II do not like
A cat here in our river;
Hush, hush, she's dead" a biz
pike said,
"And ] will eat her liver
Then came a trout and flounced a
bout,
And made his gills to rattle;
"qive that to me aLomle,' sand he
Anr then there was a battle
Twas pike and trout, now in, nov
out,
And when they both went under,
An eel came in as SLY as sin,
Amid took AWAY the plumber.
Came all this i'll when Jack an,
Went for that pau of water,
And Jack fell down aud broke hi

And Jill came talnbling after.

We shall soon be making a new
tariff. the present tariff being admit
teddy satisfactory We are dis
posed to go to the extreme of expert
ment in our tariff making One rea-
son which has been dug up from the
congressional directory is the fact that
of the fourteen democratic members
of the ways and means committee,
that framed the Underwood tariff,
fourteen were apparently destitute Of
any large or well ripened business ex-
perience.
Mr.. Underwood was serving his
tenth consecutive term in congress
and the other thirteen were lawyers
and mostly country lawyers. Even
as lawyers, they were more or less
of failures. They put into the law
provision which was intended to
give q preference of five per cent to
goods imported in American ships.
What is actually accomplished was
to reduce the duties on all imports
FIVE per cent. In other ways, it's lam
guage was so inaccurate or uncertain
that the courts have had difficulty in
constituting 1t.

importers and other varieties of bust
