The poles are constructed of steel strips an inen wide and one-eighth of an inch thick. Thgse serve as corners of a triangular cage fourteen inches on a side and from forty to sixty feet kieh. The strips are laced together with No. 10 wire, and the pole sixty feet high weighs three

The rogues watch the newspapers for estray notices. Then one goes to the tarmer, says he has lost such an animal as the notice describes, and asks to see it. Of course be is shown it, but says it is not his and goes away. Shonlv after comes his confederate, who describes the snimal he has lost in a way that exactly tallies with the appearance of the e.-trav, which he, ou seeing, at once claims. Then he says he can not take it away, and offers to sell at a bargain. The farmer usually purchases, and when a little later the rightful owner comes the farmer is just that much out.

So my father became my son-in-law and my stepdaughter my mother, because she was my father’s wife. Soon afterward my wife had a son.

It was Mr. Blaine alone among prominent men of the party who ventured to protest It was he who remembered the teaching of Garfield that uo protection was tolerable except “the protection that leads to free trade.’’ At the critical moment, after the monstrous McKinley bill had passed the House and when it was about to pass the Senate, he called a halt with his vigorous reminder that there was nothing in the measure to open & market for a single additional bushel of wheat or barrel of pork. Mr. Blaine seized upon the reciprocity idea aud fastened it upon the McKinley

not much oi reciprocity in it, to be sure. It does not take a single penny of taxation off the American people, but at any rate it is in the line of the freer trade for which Democracy contends. It is a mitigation of the policy of monopolistic protection, and it was the very most that any man could at that time have accomplished toward checking the madness of McK.nleyism. At the least it saved the country from taking the legislative ground that commerce is an evil to be suppressed, a vice to be rooted

out and punished by law.

So far as Mr. Blaine’s personal ambitions are concerned, the year shows very decided gains. It is clearer now than at any earlier date that the presidential nomination ot his party this year is his if he wants it: and if his health is as good as is reported, there is no apparent reason why he should not want it, unless it be personal disinclination to endure the.straiu of a canvass and a wise contentment with the place he has fairly won in public estimation as beyond question the foremost statesman oi his

party.

Mr. Blaine has been ill during a considerable part of the year. During all of it he has been at the head of a department in which, ordinarily, phrase-mongering and formalities constitute tho chief activities. Yet the year shows much to his credit, including the arrangement with Germany for the admission of American pork, the acceptance by France of an ameliorated trade relation, the negotiation of several treaties under the reciplfccity clause, and the preservation of peace with Italy first and with Chili afterward, npon terms honorable to the United States.
