On a pleasant September afternoon ft hack drove up to the doorway of a western seminary. At one of the window, which gnve upon tho entrance was a croup of girls, who looked down eagerly to sec whether the girl inside was old or new. It was a new girl who alighted. A plump, short-waisted, large-waisted girl w)io wore an ordinarily good wool .suit, made after the prevailing style in the country village whence site had come. "What a fright!" cried Miss Lily Maud Twillcts, with a giggle. "What do you suppose she lias come here for?" Lily Maud was wasp-waisted and wore a. train, and, in her own eyes and those of her set, was an extremely stylish person. Sho was now chewinggum with all her might, so that her words and her giggle had a choppy sound, "I don't know," giggled Rose Marie Sipp. "Some folks are so queer." The rest of the stylish set said nothing, hut they looked out at the new gtrl and giggled. She looked so funny. J'he set hor foot down easily and actually bent it aa she walked, instead of clumping along. She dropped a parcel and stooped as easily as a child to pick it up, and her gloves were so loose that she could really hold things in her hands! "If I looked like that," declared Lily Maud, "I wouldn't go where I could be seen, Why, she's a perfect sight to behold." Anil then he giggled and all the rest giggled with her as the new girl entered the hall door. From other windows other sets of girls had looked down upon tho now arrival. Their comments had not been so foolish und unkind as those made by new trirl the fashionable set, but tho had created an unfavorable impression. The hall, as she stepped into it. seemed gloomy and cold, and a chill fell upon her spirits. Her independence forsook her, and all at onco she was but a timid girl of seventeen and a half who had never been away from home alone before. The room to which she was shown was small, but it had two windows, one to tho north and one to the east, nnd both looked out on the pretty grounds of the seminary. She could see groups of girls walking about, anil she wondered which of ihem would be her friends, for she was modest and did not hope to win them all. Making her toilet, exploring her little room and Its closet, trying to determine just how tho furnishings could be arranged to the best advantage, with every now and then a glance from the windows, whiled away the tltno until tho supper bell rang, and she, in rather a liBppy and expectant mood, descended to the dining-room. A little self-conscious, she walked across the room to the place assigned her, and, when the meal began, glanced timidly about. She was not used to stich a large company. Directly opposite her sat Lily Maud nnd Hose Marie nnd, the presiding teacher being absent, they proceeded to make merry at her expense. In a thousand little ways they managed to convey to her that they found her amusing. Under this treatment the new girl grew awkward. She blushed and made all sorts of little blunders which, under happier circumstances, she would not have made, and she answered what was said to her nt random, and not at all to tho point For the first time In Iter life he was nervous and confused. "Her name's Matilda Martha Hebbl" cried Lily Maud, as tho new girl disappeared up the stairs. "Ain't It just like her? Matilda Martha llebbl" she repeated. "Matilda Martha llebbl I wonder where on earth she came from? HcbbriUe?" At this brilliant speech ose Mario giggled more than usual. Matilda Martha Ifebb meanwhile har

ried along to her room. Her Hps were tight hhutand her blue eyen were very bright. There was attache in her heart ami a lump in her throat, but not for the world would she have let thoso seminary girls know it. She had no room mute and from that day sho stood nlono.Shu would make no advances. How did Mio know but that all the girls were, like Lily Maud and Kos Marie? She would not try to find out. It was bad enough to be hconted without having the additional humiliation of feeling one's self repulsed. The seminary town was also a river town anil in the winter had a bleak and penetrating air. .Nevertheless, on Sundays the girls perched littlu hats upon their heads and took the long walk to church, wearing no overshoes, and with their throats quite unprotected; for high cloak collars had not yet come Into style. Matilda, however, knew nothing of this Sunday afteruoon custom, and she had been taught to clothe herself comfortably. Down she stepped on the first Sunday morning of December into the hall where all the girls were assembled. On her head was a pretty and becoming hat, blight ly larger than the others wore, her cloak was unusually heavy and a long boa was wound around herthroat, while on her feut bhe woru a pair of high overshoes. "Did you ever!" whispered Lily Maud. "Isn't sho a guy?" Matilda saw the whispering and tho glance, and her Hp tightened. "I shall not yield. I shall not yield an inch," bhe told herself defiantly. "Did you see that?" asked Annette Wattersoti, when the girls had started. "That girl has courage and grit. I have no fancy for that silly, chattering set, but I shouldn't like to have them eye mo over as they did her." There was no danger for Annette, however, who was the only daughter of a senator. Whatever she did was right in the eyes of Lily Maud. It might seem strange that the teachers did not put a stop to this petty persecution. They did not know It was going on. They saw in Matilda a grave and serious young girl who was perfectly respectful to them, who stood fairly well in her classes, and who seemed to prefer to bo alone. And she was such a relief to them that they were prepared to grunt her any reasonable privilege. And so, when she modestly said that she could not practice her vocal lessons lu the hearing of the other girls, thej' set it down to natural timidity and permitted her to go every day to the conservatory down town, which was under tho management of tho seminary professor. The girls wondered a little, but, on the whole, thought nothing of it, for they all looked upon Matilda as very ordinary, though, with the exception of the stylish set, they treated her with civility. "Matilda llobb's father and mother nre hero to see her," nnnounced Jennie Thompson one afternoon. It was the week of the spring vacation, when few, if any, of the girls went away. "Oh. I am so sorry!" exclaimed An

nette Watterson. "Do vou remombor last spring when Celio Dawson's parents came to visit her? Mr. Dawson poured his tea into his saucer and blew his breath over it to cool it, and he ate with his knife, and he talked with his mouth full, and Lily .Maud and Kose Mnric and the rest giggled, and looked at each other, and Telle turned red and then pale, and looked as if she'd sink. I never saw anything so pitiful. And I've always thought that was why Celie didn't come back this year. And now I suppose Matilda will have to go through the same thing." "Hut not in the same way," said Alicia Davidson. These three wero the exclusive set in the school. "Girls, what do you say? I've been watching Matilda a good while, If she comes out of this all right shall we make her one of us?" Throe slim right bunds were laid on the table one above another, and the compact wns mde. In her room Matilda, who, before the girls, was grave and serious, was beside herself with joy. Now, slipping up behind her mother, bending over her and taking her face tenderly in her hands to kiss her, now senting her self on her father's lap and throwing her arms around his neck. "I declare. Mattie," said Mrs. Hebb, "I 'most wish we'd conic sooner. We didn't know how glad our little girl would be to see us, or wo would. We kind o' thought maybe you'd be weaned away from us. Some girls are." Mr. and Mrs. Hebb were very plain people, but they liad reasonably good uiumiers. They were not likely to do any of those drendful things which, when done by Mr. Dawson, had proyed so mirth-provoking. Hut if Mr. Hebb had been a Chesterfield he would have been funny, because he had to be, you know. He was Matilda Martha's father, and she was queer. When he seated himself at the table at his daughter's right hand his face was beaming with the kindly Interest ho felt In all girls, because his Mattlo wns one of them. And Mrs. Hebb, who sat at Matilda's left, looked about her with tho same geniality. To Lily Maud this was excruciatingly funny. Tho teachor again being absent sho looked nt Koso Mario and giggled. From their places Annette Kud Jennie and Alicia were watching with anxiety. Matilda's face was Hushing. Was sho going to be ashamed of her plain old father and mother? No, she was not. Her head went up imperiously. Her blue eyes Hashed. And then, with a grace and dignity she had never shown befo.'e, she devoted herself to entertaining her father and mother. If they had been a king and queen sho could not have shown them more deference and respect. Mrs. Hebb saw the situation in a moment.. "Those girls uro laughing nt us," sho thought, nnd then, with exultation: "Hut Mattio Isn't ashamed of us, bless her!" The supper was over at last, and tho slow moving crowd making Its way toward the stairs. "Won t you introduco me to your father and mother, Matilda?" Matilda turned to look into the Matidly eyes of Annette Wattcrsoa.

Her composure almost gate way, tot close behind Annette she saw Jenniu and Alicia looking at her with tho

same friendliness. Her Hps quivered with sudden joy, for now her parent need not know how alone sho hail been, And so the little party left tho dining-room, An nette walking with Mr. Hebb. Alicia with Mrs. Hebb. and Jennie with Matilda. "Ain't, that funny?" cried Lily Maud. Hut Kos Marie's answering glgglu had a melancholy sound, It wns something at the seminary to be seen walking with Annette, Alicia and Jennie. That was a memorable week for four girls. Mr. Hebb every day gate his daughter and her three friends soimj delightful treat. It began to be whispered about that Mr, Hebb was rich. Was it a mistake? No. it was not. Mr. Hebb was rich. Matilda was happy. Her blue eyes shone. Her healthy cheeks were rosier than ever. Once more she was tho light-hearted girl who was glad to oblige everybody who came in her way. And so, though she was sorely frightened at the thought of it, she consented tosing for the soprano on Kastor Sunday, because she was suddenly called away and had no one to take her place. On Sunday the four girls did not walk to church with tho others. Theyrodewith Mr. and Mrs. Hebb. The other girls wore in their places in the north gallery when Mr. Itebb's party entered the church. Matilda was not with them. Quietly, and with a beating heart, she had slipped in at tho rear entrance and up into the choir loft. And here Lily Maud's wandering eyes presently beheld her. "Look" she whispered, nudging Rose Mnric. "Ain't that funny?" Rose Marie looked, and a bewildered expression stole over her face. Things were taking such odd turns this week. As the choir rose all eyes were fixed on the new singer. Who was she, this happy-faced, wholesome-looking, young creature who seemed attuned to Kaster day? All fear had left her. She forgot the audience before her. She stood as unconsciously as a little child and, lifting up her heart to the heavens, her rich, sweet, fresh voice floated out and filled tho air. It was nothing so very difficult, but it waa exceedingly well sung, as the audience felt, with a thrill of delight. "She did not seem at all frightened," commented Annette after the service was over. "She sings in our choir at home," re spouded Mr. Hebb. "To think, Jennie," bald Alicia, "that wo let such a girl us Matilda go so long without recognition. I am ashamed of it. As long as I live I think I shall be on the lookout for nice girls. Hut I shall never be thankful enough that we made friends with her before we know of her money und her voice. We never could have done it afterward." Hut there were plenty of others who could, and did, and the remaining weeks of the school year wero made very pleasant for Matilda. She used to stand before her glass and laugh sometimes, as she looked critically at her own rellection. "Tho very .same Matilda," sho would say, "but not queer any more. Who could bo queer with money and a voice?" And then she would laugh again and look lovingly at the pictured faces of Annette and Jennie and Alicia. These were tho friends who had come to her in that hour when she had most need of friends, who had taken hor by the hand when they supposed her to be a poor, plain girl from a country village, nnd with no future. And those wero the friends whom she felt she should love as long as sho llvod, for Matilda Martha Hebb, along with her voice and her money, had a grateful and af fectionate heart. Chicugo Interior. "TRAMP ALL RIGHT." Hut It Wan Queer I Find thn l'nlverlty I'rmldent In That (itiUc. Dr. K. Henjamin Andrews, president of the Hrown university, a delegate to the Krüssels monetary conference and n well-known writer on social, econom ic and religious subjects, hns never been accused of being a dandy, and he delights in doing just such things as is told herewith. The l'rovidence delegates to tho big baptist anni versaries at Saratoga have got hack, and they know something funny. This is what it is; As the baptist train en route swung by a little station tip in York state tho eagle-eyed operator discovered the figure of a man stowed away on tho rear platform, hat pulled down over his eyes, safe from view and everything else except the curling dust and Hying pebbles. So the operator wired aliead to tho next statioa as follows: "Look out for tramp on No. . r0, rear platform. Jones." The operator at the next station promptly pulled up the train and the conductor went to the rear to investigate. There was the man a big, broad-shouldered fellow, his hat pulled down over his eyes, covered with dust, nnd so generally rough and tough looking that the conductor didn't hanker after a tackle. So he sent for the brakeman. What followed is indicated by the dispatch which Operator Jones, at the back station, received a few minutes after from his brother operator. Hero it is: "Tramp all right, doing to the baptist convention with a ticker. Takes his water straight, and is president of Hrown university." N. Y. Advertiser, Too .Much Acting.

the other is tho attempt to build up trusts and make them omnipotent in politics as well as in trade. The free trade movement against American labor tends to do both. It means the breaking down of American industrial independence, the paralysis of industry and the prevalence of strikes, destitution and anarchy. The trusts choke tho life out of competition and destroy that equality of right and of opportunity that is at the very basis of free Institutions." "Trusts undoubtedly add to the cost of the articles whose production they monopolize. The trusts, by their enormous combinations of capital, take freedom of trade by the throat and trample out of existence the business man or lirm that dares to compete with them. Their methods at the best arc a menace to the welfare of the community, and are distinctly anarchistic, not .stopping short in well known instances of the anarchists' dynamite ind violence. The trust, with a brazen treason against the fundamental principles of American liberty, says virtually to every citizen outside of the trust: 'Thou shalt not dare to compete with this business of ours.

Just as if "protection" had not created or fostered ; every one of those hundreds of trusts; und as if it too were not the enemy of freedom and competition in trade and, indeed, of American liberty, which j lirst showed itself in opposition to tariff i iti ties on tea and other articles. j The Press fails to show how free trade j would "buildup trusts." In fact there ! is no American trust that is not in some way benefitted by "protection" ! and there is no trust that would not be ! injured by free trade.

such, would be benefitted by free trade Campbell. Cummings, and Sickles, of nnd to produce a scintilla of evidence ; this city, Hendricks, of Hwoklyn, Toto this effect.

Have the steel rail, the whisky, the wall paper, the borax, the Standard oil or the coal trust kept lob bies in Washington for years for free trade in these products. The idea is ridiculous. "Protection" annually puts hundreds of millionsof dollars into the pockets of thee trusts. The most of them would never luiye been born but for tho "protection" guaranteed them bv hiirh tariffs, which "choke the life nut of competition." It is refreshing to hear the l'ress acknowledge that trusts advance prices after it lias been declared for years that "protection" was causing a rapid decline in prices. There is a conflict in evidence somewhere or the Kress is beside itself, now that its favorite tariff system has gone to pieces and is followed by general prosperity. OMINOUS SILENCE.

H. W. II. RATTLED WOOL GROWERS. They Howl anil Howl, but Mnrkot Ke ports Are Aiciilimt Them. The Ohio wool growers met In annual convention for the thirtieth time a few days ago, anil we do not wonder that they were tilled with impotent rage as they contemplated the fruit of their labors for a generation. In 1807 they succeeded in getting monstrous duties laid for their benefit, only to see them lowered in 1 8S3. Then they perI sisted in exacting the uttermost 1 farthing from McKinley in 1SW), with the result of stirring up such indigna- . tion against their whole crew that they , are now left without any protection at i all. Meanwhile the price of wool has been stendily going down year by year. For more than a year the laws of trade have been setting protection on wool at defiance, and American wool lias been practically on a free trade basis. "Our property (that is, the right to levy taxes)," says Judge Lawrence, "has been annihilated." This may be admitted, with rejoicing. Hut the real proju'rty of wool growers, in the sense of their actual sheep and actual wool, as distinguished from , , , , , r ........ sheep and wool for platform purposes , . . , . only, has not been touched by the newtariff. One audacious man rose to affirm us much in the convention, and to point out that the price of American wool was actually advancing, Such heresy took away the breath of the "wool kings" for a time, but they soon recovered it suuiciontly to villify the unhappy farmer who ventured to set up as a student of markets, not of maxims. Hut, though they howled him down, they cannot howl down market reports. Here is one sent from Chi cago. just as the wool growers" convention was meeting, which speaks of the woolen markets as "firm," with holders determined not to "reduce values."and which lays down the broad proposition that "tho great medium grade of wool which is produced in the Tinted States, both staple and clothing, will no doubt hold its own against all foreign wool of the same quality." N. Y. Host. Turned-Point Collni-ft lliilnr. Eight of tho twenty-eight democrat. in the New York delegation voted against the tariff bill when it passed the house last February Kartlott. learn the sentiments of his constituents is Mr. Haines. His district comprises Columbia and Rensselaer counties, and the democratic convention in the former county elected a I delegation which will vote as a unit ! against him. As this is his own coun ty, its repudiation of Haines insures J his defeat. His vote and speech against the Wilson bill were directly an issue, ' and the refusal of his party to indorse his attitude is in harmony with the ; bitter opposition toOorman, Kricc, and , others of the so-called "conservatives" i manifested by the democrats of their states.

Moored to the shore or drawn up on the sand, "lhit the fishermen (Peter, Andrew, John and James, and those employed by them; sco Mark) wero gone out of them." Probably not far ofT, for Jesu speaks to Peter (v. 3). "And were washing their nets." To cleanse them from mud or stones, or matter accumulated from the bottom of tho lake or along the shore. They were nlso mending their nets (Mark 1:10). All this was required by the previous night's fishing referred to in verse 5. "And He entered into ono of the ships (boats), which was Simon's." Simon Peter. Simon is a contraction of Simeon ("hearing"), nnd Peter means "a rock." The boat belonged to him and his brother Andrew (Mark). Jesus entered this boat, perhaps because it was nearest, and without doubt because Peter was one of His disciples, and had been with Ilim beforo (John 1:40-42), and He well knew that Peter would be glad to havo Him make such use of his boat. An Object Lesson from n Draught of Fishes. "Now when Ho had left speaking." Ho had finished all Ho wished to say at that time to the people. They must now meditate on and inwardly digest the truths that had been taught. "Launch out into the deep" verb in tho singular, addressed to Peter as captain "and lot down your nets" plural, of tlie crew. "And Simon . . . said . . . Master, wo have toiled all the night," etc. The night was the best time for certain kinds of fishing, either because, ns Pliny suggests, tlie fishes cannot seo ns well then, nnd thus are not frightened away by tho boats and nets, or most probably becnuso that is tho feeding time of the fishes. At any rate, tho fact that they had failed to catch anything in the best time for fishing was a reason for not expecting anyspecial results from fishing in the daytime. "Nevertheless at Thy word I

will let down tho net." This was nn act, not of despondency, Peter knew something hut of faith. about Jesus Ho had believed that He was the Mcsslab (John 1:41) and had sceh His miruclc nt Cana of Galilee (John 2:1-11), so that, although ho may not havo expected n miracle, ho had reason to trust in the wisdom and knowledge of Jesus. "They inclosed (in their net) a great multitude of fishes." That a miracle is intended in unquestionable. How wrought, whether by a Divino act drawing together at this time and placo a shoal of fishes, or by a Divine knowledge perceiving the shoal that wns there, the narrator docs not indicate. "And their net brake." Was breaking, 1. e., began to break, was on tho point of breaking, but did notactually break. "Their partners." Fellow-workers. James nnd John (v. 10), nnd probably their hired men (Mark 1:20). "And filled both .the ships (boats), so that they began to sink." They were full so that thoy could just lloat. "When Simon Peter saw it." Hi? full name is here Riven, for this is the turning point in his life; ho enters now on a new career, in which tho now name is better known. "He fell down at Jesus' knees." Implying that Jesu! was n tho boat all tho time. "Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, 0 Lord." The greatness, the Divinity of Jesus' nature was so revealed to Peter that lie felt utterly unworthy by contrast. "Catch not for selves alone, but for partners. Let every church share In tho catch. Then the nets will not break nor the shlptslnk." Up. Warrca.
