trade. I construe it to mean phat such articles of general use lumber, hides, glass, wool, dotton, etc., be placed on the free list. That such duties be levied upon articles manufactured, in this country as will insure to our manufacturers the cost of product ion *and a fair and reasonable profit. Any less is unfair to the producer and any more is unjust to the consumer: “This will enable manufacturers to pay fair wages and injure continuous employment to workmen. “Senator Beveridge claims this to be his doctrine. It, however, has been a principle of democracy long before the Senator ever thought of it. I am also aware of, tfoe fact that a very considerable element of the republican party is in full accord with this sentiment. With them I have no contention. L’i, der such an adjustment of the tariff it will not be possible for trusts and combinations to long survive. “Changes which will produce the foregoing results should be brought about by a gradual reduction, and in such a manner as not to disturb the business interests of the country. “We must see to it that all the affairs of government, national: state and county, are honestly and economically admim l.stered: ; that - favoritism and graft, if any exist, be suppressed and punished to the end that the burden of taxation be reduced, and that we get full value for money expended for public improvements. “The present administration is responsible for the dismissal from office of Mr. Pinchot and others who were honestly endeavoring to protect the interests of the government, and for the retention in office of Mr. Ballinger who has been shown to be either incompetent or otherwise unfit for the high position he holds.

-“I heartily approve, and, should I be elected, will support and do all in my power to cause to be passed what is commonly called the “dollar a ‘ day pension bill.” “The Spectacle of a few men dictating the policy of government f for the benefit of certain classes, and against the interests of all others, should be condemned. Such has been the course of Mr. Cannon and Senator Aldrich for many years. “There seems to be a wide difference in the opinion of many who have heretofore ' affliliated in the same (political faith. This is a time when all recognize the fact that to be right in principle is more Important than party or men,. _ ' - - "This is not a time for sensationalism or fanaticism; wfhat the people want is a return to sound business principles.”

The safest place to ride in a railroad train is in the middle of the middle car on the right hand side. Thus the danger of being injured in fore or aft collisions or side swipes is minimized. This is old, but will bear repeating.

How Greeley Learned to Read.

By a singular adaptation to the changes of motion on bis mother’s part while spinning Horace Greeley when a youngster acquired the unwonted quality of reading with the book in almost any position, sidewise or upside down, as readily as in the usual fashion without at that time thinking it anything unusual.

Vast as modern skyscrapers are, not one has yet equaled the weight and massiveness of the pile of great stones which the swarming human ants of the Nile valley laboriously dragged together thousands of years ago until they had built the pyramid of Cheops.

A WATER DUEL.

Near the border which divides Siberia from Russia Lived Count Arkadyevich. a country gentleman. His daughter. Marya Alexandrov na, an attractive girl of eighteen, was sought In marriage by many of the sons of the neighboring landed proprietors, hut seemed to prefer Ivan Mikahailof. a lusty but lazy young fellow who bad never been known to take an interest in but one thing—the town fire department, which he bad organized and drilled. A battalion of troops came to the town commanded by Major Nikolai Levin. a middle aged man whose private fortune was large. From childhood he had been accustomed to having his own way. He had studied and practiced the use of every known weapon, and when any man stood in his way be would insult him, challenge him and. if necessary, kill him. All kinds of weapons had been tried against Levin, from a Turkish scimiter to a mountain howitzer, and he had handled every one with perfect skilL He had no sooner set eyes ot> Marya than he fell, violently in love with her Marya. though she accepted his attentions, could not be completely won over from her atbietic suitor Iran. Levin at last concluded that with fvan in the way be could never win the giri. so be made up his mind to kill him. He soon found a pretext for considering himself insulted by the young man and sent him a challenge. Marya heard of the intended assassination and was much troubled. In her extremity she sent for a former schoolmate. Kostia Sanin. in whose Ingenuity she placed great confidence, and asked him to help her. “Well. I will offer him my services, and if he accepts them 1 will see what I c-an do for him." said Sanin. A few hours later Major Levin received a visit from Sanin. “1 am to arrange this affair between yon and my friend Mikahailof.” he said. “and. since he is the challenged party, choose for him the weapons, the time and the place of meeting.”' “That is your right. It is immaterial to me- with what weapon 1 fight, and 1 beg jpn will choose that with which the young man is most skillful.” “You show a magnanimous spirit, major, and I shall meet your wishes. The only weapon with which Ivan Mikahailof has any skill whatever is the uozzle of a hose: I therefore choose this weapon.” v ’ “If you think you can turn the affair into a jest you are mistaken.” “I propose no jest. The terms are that yon and your adversary are to go into an unheated room, wearing no clothing whatever, each furnished with a hose, and play upon each other till you are satisfied." “What an absurdity!" “Nothing of the kind. You know that the temperature here at this season is never above zero, and the water Is icy cold. Neither of yon will be able to endure the torture more than half an hour without dying a terrible death, and in any event there is great probability of pneumonia setting In after tbe combat,”

Santa tliea named the time and place and took his departure. The major submitted tbe case to the officers of bis battalion, wbo. after long deliberation, decided that be must accept the terms. At tbe appointed time be and bis antagonist stood stark naked in a large room, each armed with a half ineb nozzfe. At a given signal tbe water was earned on by tbe seconds and] the contest begun. Ivan had always lived in that northern region. while (be major bad been born in tbe south. Ivan was hardy, while the major was delicate and sensitive from having led a luxurious life. At tbe first stroke of the icy water be was shaken by a terrific chill, wbile tbe sturdy Ivan, wbo bad bathed in water as cold that very morning, braced himself against tbe shock and stood nprigbt and firm as a rock. One of Up seconds stood with a watch in bis hand, while tbe other kept a band on tbe water cock. At the end of two minutes time was called and tbe water turned off. Tbs principals were permitted to move about for two minutes to recoup and break the ice forming on their bodies, when they were required to take theii positions and the water was turned on. At the end of tbe next round Levin was sbivering terribly, his skin was livid, and bis lips were blue, wbile his opponent bad readily restored circulation. At tbe end of tbe next round the major was informed by those of bis officers wbo were present that be might give up tbe unequal contest without sacrificing his honor, and he declared that be was satisfied. He was taken into a warm room, dosed with hot liquor, rubbed and put between blankets. Nevertheless be was stricken with pneumonia, from which be nearly died. Ivan polished himself with a crash towel, pot on bis clothes and took a brisk walk.

Kostia Sanin went to Mary a and gave her an account of what bad occurred. “You are now free to marry either of those men yon choose. 1 presume from your interest in Ivan that your choice will fall on him.” “No; It will not fall on Ivan.” “Then it is the major.” “Xo, nor the major. “Well, then, 1 should like to know what all this trouble has been about” “To change tbe subject, bow shall 1 reward yon for beiping ns out of this difficulty r “Well, you might Jet me kiss your band.” “What do yon say to my lips?” A light broke in upon Kostia. He went fif* Msryn. look her fn hi* arms and kissed her. bat when he had kite ed her once there whs no stopping
