"INVESTIGATE” THE PAPER TRUST.

Bryan'a Commoner: Every republican newspaper baa condemned the paper trust, yet some republican papers are greatly impressed with Mr. Garfield’s report on the beef trust and are inclined to agree with the commissioner of corporations that there is no such thing as a beef trust. It would be well if Mr. Garfield could “investigate” the paper trust. A great many people would be interested in the editorials which would be printed in republican papers in the event that after “rigid investigation,” Mr. Garfield concluded that there is no such thing as a paper trust, that the paper factories have been losing money and that newspaper editors have been complaining of purely imaginary evils. It may not be doubted that a report from Mr. Garfield on the paper trust similar to the one he made on the trust would be condemned by all large newspapers. The attitude of some republican newspapers on the Garfield beef trust report is no criterion; for do we not know that many republican newspapers that insisted upon “standing pat” on the tariff question, so far as products generally are concerned, and denounced the propositson that the shelter which the trusts find in the tariff should be destroyed, were very ready to demand that the advantage which the paper trust obtain in the tariff be removed? If Mr. Garfield has really discovered that there is no beef trust, it is very likely that through a similar “investigation” he would be able to discover that there is no paper trnst. It would be interesting to observe the effect of such a declaration upon the publishers of republican newspapers

ognlzed and greeted with an amosad laugy. “Ever hear about the little buttercup that pined to be a daisy, or tbe rose that swore It was a potato, and If it wasn’t it would be—there now?” Inquired the man, with blaud curiosity. Again the point of light shifted. He had replaced tbe cigar In his mouth and settled a little more luxuriously In his chair as If In mere sybaritic enjoyment of his extraordinary luck lu having been born as be was. “Your Illustrations are beside the facts,” she retorted at last, with dignity. “I was not asserting that girls wiali to be men!” “Well, then”—his tone implied an amiable desire to please—“ever bear of the little buttercup that Insisted that It was a daisy In spite of appearances and tbe testimony of Its yellow petals? 1 Well, that’s like the foolish little girls who want to be Judged by man’s standard.” Two slender hands were clapped noiselessly, but their owner enunciated with some heat: “How would you like to be a woman yourself and be put upon and—and snubbed and forever taunted with the fact of your Inferiority? Oh, not in so many words,” she went on hurriedly, lest he should Interrupt her speech. “Not that, of course, but by being told that you couldn't understand, being patronized, having allowances made—‘Oh,. well, she’s only a woman!’ Just tell me, honor bright, how* would you like It?” The man chuckled. The vision of himself in the predicament suggested was not without its humorous side. The figure of speech he had used a few' minutes earlier came back to him with a new force. It was like being caught under a net, thougli the meshes were silken. “Well?” she demanded, with a ring of triumph in her voice. “I don’t suppose I should like It,” he admitted between puffs. “But that doesn’t prove anything, you know," he went on hastily. “That’s because I’m a man.” Then, as an afterthought, “When you’re once used to being a woman— er—l should think you might get used to it—grow' to like It. Man’s good angel, you know, and all that!” “But what If one wearies of the role of good angel—what if one longs to be Just oneself? For my part, I don’t see why man shouldn’t be woman’s good angel for awhile —he’s so strong and brave and, above all, superior!” Her voice was deceptively mocking. Being only a man, and a man in the dark at that, he had no way of knowing that her eyes were dancing mischievously and she was wondering If he were horribly shocked. What he did know, however, was that the voice, with Its youthful, almost boyish treble, was the sweetest lu the world to him, that he would rather be mocked and flounted by those Ups than flattered by any others. Still he had a point to prove, and he tossed the dwindled cigar off into the bushes that flanked the porch, squared his shoulders aggressively and demanded: “Would you propose to a man If—er—you loved him?” His listener gasped. This was carrying the war into the enemy’s country with a vengeance. Propose to a man she loved! Not for rubles and diamonds—not for principalities and powers! Oue might propose to a man one didn’t love, but to the man—never! “No,” came the answef In a voice grown suddenly small and meek. "And she talks about wanting a man’s rights!” he groaned to some Invisible person. “And she hasn’t the nerve to do a little thing like that. My, oh, my! “I’m afraid you'll have to stay in the good angel business awhile yet—until, for instance, you can stand up and tell a man you love him. I don’t see any other way.” There was a pause. In which he waited for her to speak, but she said nothing. Then be leaned forward, and in the gloom she could see tbe shining of his eyes. He, too, must have seen some secret thing in her face, for, with a laugh—soft, exultant—he took her hands in bis and pressed them fervently to bis lips. “You are such funny, helpless, ridiculously superior creatures,” were her last words upon the subject a little later, “that I suppose It will have to be—yes.”

The Isaac of Race.

In the twelfth chapter of the book of Judges it is told bow the Gileadites slew forty and two thousand Ephraimltee at the passages of Jordan because they pronounced “shibboleth” “slbboleth.” That was a race issue. By their faulty speech the forty and two thousand proved themselves to be of another race, and they were slain. Bead ancient history and learn that in the dark backward and abysm of time the hand of every man of one race was against the hand of every man of all other races. Stranger meant enemy, alien meant foe. Then the race issue was at Its strongest Centuries have passed. Almost universal tolerance has come abont While races still preserve their national identity, ingress and egress are, for the most part free and open. Hie sons of one race mate freely with the daughters of another. Without loss of caste or taint of dishonor a French girl may marry a Neapolitan, a Swiss maiden a Prussian youth, a Norwegian Olsen a German Gretchen, a Russian an Austrian, a Spaniard a Portuguese, an Englishman a Scot The population of the United States Is an amazing composite of all these and other races.—San Francisco Argonaut .

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Protect the Potato Crop. The use of blighted potatoes for seed should be avoided, particularly if they rotted to any extent in storage, says Professor Stewart of the New York experiment station in American Agriculturist. The blight fuugus passes the winter in partially rotten tubers. In planting such tubers one takes some risk of communicating the disease to the new crop; hence care should be taken to reject all seed pieces showing any sign of decay. But in spite of the closest sorting some affected pieces are sure to be overlooked. However, the planting of diseased seed is not so serious a matter as might appear at first thought. Blight spreads with such wonderful rapidity that one is sure to get it soon from neighboring fields if the weather is favorable, no matter how much care is taken to plant healthy seed. Spraying must be doue anyway. My opinion is that blight free seed should be used as far as possible, provided it can be obtained at reasonable prices. But for protection against blight spraying with bordeaux must be the chief reliance. Government Wlillewkih. This whitewash is said to be equal to oil paint and will not rub off: Whiting, five pounds: skim milk, two quarts; fresh slacked lime, one-half pound. Put the lime into a stoneware vessel and mix in sufficient milk to make as thick as cream without lumps and add the rest of the milk. Sprinkle the whiting on top and allow it to sink without stirring. After this it must be well stirred, and it is ready to use. Apply as paint, using as many coats as necessary. This has a great tenacL ty when applied to wood jjf ; has very little odop-*#ben wet and when dry recipe is well Indorsed. Allklfk For Swine, ytfwine breeders are beginning to recognize the great value of alfalfa. Tws, strong addresses were made on subject An acre of alfalfa will k %p three times as many bogs as an a fre of red clover. Hogs like alfalfa V&y during winter. Alfalfa meal is a wood food, but too expensive—123 per Ron. The protein in a ton of alfalfa almost equals the protein In a ton of bran. Both are too expensive. The breeder must procure something cheaper: hence grow alfalfa. Feed green in summer and the hay in winter,—A. Bhirer in National Stockman. Select the Sect Berne. "No matter how much room you

have, you have no room for puny, sickly chickens,” stated Professor J. F. Jeffrey of the North Carolina experiment station in a recent bulletin. “Do not make the mistake so commonly made on the farms of breeding from all the hens—good, bad and indifferent—but select only the best to breed from if it be only half a dozen hens. You will make more progress In this way in one year than you would in the hit or miss method in six.” Weuliii the Colt. Colts should be weaned all the way from three to five mouths old, says George McKerrow in American Cultivator. A three or four year old colt should not be worked hard, because he is shedding teeth and is likely to get iuto a feverish condition that requires careful feeding, including some roots or oilmeal and such laxative hays as part clover and part alfalfa. If the colts get badly run down in condition a little fiaxseed will be good and turn him into a good pasture. Cere of Nursery Stock. When nursery stock arrives unpack from the bale or box, wet both tops and roots thoroughly and set in a cool, shady, moist place. Protect the roots from sun and wind. When carrying to the field and until set in the ground keep covered with wet straw or moss. If planting cannot be done as soon as the trees arrivfjAeel them in and keep well they can be set—Americas Agriculturist The Am* Flock. The farm becomes clear and fertile where flocks are kept on It and suitably pastured. If the ewes are kept too fat before lambing, they will secrete too much milk, and this will cause caked beg. When there is plenty of good pasture It Is the best and cheapest time tup prepare sheep for market In the avert age merino sheep the best fleece can b! expected at three or four years, aft*n which deterioration naturally follows. Fodder For Skecp. When clover hay is fed, one quart a day of the mixture is a liberal ration for ewes and half of this quantity for lambs. Redtop is excellent for sheep, but it must not be too dry or woody. This grass if not too rank will make hay next best to clover or alfalfa. Improve the Ftm. Sheep through the peculiar nutritiousness of their manors and tbs facility with which it is distributed are found to be the most economical in renewing the productiveness of the land. ftaul Th® Democrat for news.
