And we're stretched In the shade; Where the salt meadows yield To the cool of the glade. Where the spring bubbles sweet, And the thrush whistles blithe. And there’s rest from the heat And the whirr of the scythe, ■ She comes with the dinner pail swinging, A queen with a sunbonnet crown, , A:.d the thrush takes his note from her singing— The girl in the calico gown. Not a lily that blows Has a half of her grace. And the red of the rose Is the blush of her face, And the blue of her eye I» the biue of the deep. When the wind leaves the sky And the waves are asleep. Her foot is as light, on the grasses. As a leaf that the breeae flutters down. And the blossoms bow low as she passes— The girl In the calico gown. * And she scarce throws a glance At the spot where I stand. For her "pa” looks askance At the love of a "hand;’** But I know that to-night She will come where 1 wait, Twlxt the dark and the light At the old garden gate. And there, with the lilacs above her, My sweet, with the tresses of brown. Will ask me again If I love her— The girl in the calico gown. —Joe* Lincoln, in L. A. W. Bulletin. WHEN Pepworth Tring, the wellknown South African millionaire. sent for me, and after inquiring if 1 was at liberty for a few weeks, said that he was about to commission me to take a small map to his Johannesburg representative, 1 was rather surprised that he should go to the expense of a special messenger when the postal service was available. “It seems a very simple undertaking, ’ 1 said. Hut he speedily enlightened me. "Ah. that’s where you are wrong." he replied, giving me a shrewd glance. “In this case the post is not to be trusted, and an unscrupulous enemy will strain •every nerve to defeat my intention." My present employer, a well-known Kimberley man, who had lately turned his attention to the Witwatersraudt gold mines, was middle-aged, about 50, but looked more, owing to the hard and adventurous life he had led. His tanned, weather-beaten face appeared commonplace enough, but behind the small steadv gray eyes lay a quick brain and ■unerring judgment. Few, indeed,could boast with any degree of truth of ever having got the better of Pepworth Tritig. As a judge qf diamonds Also he bad barely ah e?jual. AlFthis I knew from common hearsay.

“iou anticipate there will be an attempt to rob roe during the journey?” “L am quite sure of it. The matter on the face of it is simple enough. This map,” »he held up a small piece of parchment a few square inches in size—it Appeared to represent the course of a river, some red crosses were marked on one portion, and some lines of writing ran along the bottom)—“ha* to be given to Mr. Howard, of Fox street, Johannesburg. There yonr mission ends. But whether you will be able to eecomplish it is another matter. (Jibson. my old partner, is determined to obtain possesion of this map by some means; he is rich, unscrupi ~> and can command the. services of n even more unscrupulous than himself. This is the reason 1 do uot trust the post. The corruption prevalent among all Boer officials extends to the post -office; my letters have been opened, lie has creatures there in his employ. \ou must trust no one, and conceal the' paper in such a manner that it cannot be found.” “But while on board ship it would surely be better to entrust it to the captain or purser?” “That would be risky, and only postpone their attack on you. If you received the map back safely you would w ithout doubt be robbed of it between Capetown and Johannesburg. No; when the boat reaches Capetown, they must be under the impression that you are not the bearer.” “When am I to leave London?” “The ‘Homan’ leave# the* docks tomorrow and Plymouth on Saturday. Your berth is booked; Gibson is also a passenger, and several of his following. But perhaps 1 had better explain why this map is so important. “Gibson, like myself. is an old Kimberley man. We both did very ^reil there, and lately, like me, he has been dealing in Transvaal mining property. We have often gone partners in various undertakings. In the autumn of *94, being then in Johannesburg—about six months ago—and feeling the want of a holiday, I determined to go on a shooting expedition through the Transvaal towards the sea. Accompanied bv two Zulus, 1 carried out my intention, and after some weeks traveling we found ourselves in the low country bordering oil Switzerland. Here quite by chance 1 made a remarkable discovery. In the dried-up channel of what had been a river I came upon traces of diamonds. The And to my eyes was most promising; but before I could pursue my investigations further, one of my Zulus, dispatched to get food from a neighboring kraal, came hot-foot with the news that the Swazis were up in arms. Irritated \>y some act of Boer oppression, they seemed inclined to wreak their vengeance on me, and so are fled forthwith for our very Uvea. Before leaving. 1 drew up a plan of Hie place, ao that it could be found again

“After various adventures I reached Durban, and took ship for England. Meeting Gibson in London, I acquainted him in general terms with my discovery, stating that in the course of my journeying I had found diamonds. I had intended to take him into partnership in this affair, but the knowledge which I gained immediately afterwards that he had swindled me in the matter of some gold mines changed my purpose, and I broke with him for good. “Now the value of my find is problematical. Diamonds hove not yet been found in paying quantity in the Transvaal. This place may be a second Kimberley, and shake the De Beers monopoly. It is quite possible. Therefore I want the ground pegged out in the usual way, and to register myself as the owner; but if Gibson could get hold of the map he would forestall me. It is not convenient for me to go myself just now. as I have some important business in hand; so not to delay obtaining the claims, I have ordered Howard to peg them out and register in my name, but he can do nothing until he has the particulars contained in this. Now, do you understand?” “Yes; but how far is Gibson cognizant of your plans?” “He has found out that I intend sending the map immediately to Johannesburg. This office is watched; you will be shadowed on leaving, and when they find that you are a passenger by the ‘Roman,’ they will conclude that you are my messenger. It will be your business to nullify that belief.” “1 see.” “You had better pretend to be a new submanager sent out by me t<5 represent my interests in Johannesburg. Now, can you, do you think, conceal the map in such a way that these thieves cannot get hold of it ?” I sat silent a few moments thinking over the situation, then my eyes strayed to some books lying on the table between us., I took up one. It was “Lock on Gold,” a stardard work. “I will do my best,” I said at length. “Trust ho one,” concluded my employer. giving me money for my journey and the boat ticket. “Rely on yourself alone. Put the map in your breastpocket for the present, but find a securer hiding place before you go on board. Good-by. and good luck to you:” My preparations were soon made,and the following morning found me. on board the “Roman.” 1 had reduced my luggage to as small a compass as possible. It consisted of two small portmanteaus which would go undermy bunk, some wraps, and a few novels, with “Lock on Gold,” the latter obtained from my employer to sustain my character as a mining manager, and with its covers encased in gray calico. I had joined the ship at the docks to avoid the crash at Waterloo, and to see the mouth of the Thames. There were two other men in my cabin, for the ship was full, every berth being taken, but they had not yet come on board, so l arranged my belongings at leisure, and then went on deck as we left the dock to smoke and view the river ami the miles of wharves and shipping as we s’ vly and majestically steamed out to sea. The ship was nearly empty, and i passed^ a quietJUJ^oui- anticipating the coming duel which was to fake place, and wondering if the sample scheme would be successful.

iuc kiiuuiNags on board at ^Plymouth, and a scone of animation arid confusion followed; but a rough sea/and headw ind claimed the exuberance of many of the company, and the dinner tables in the saloon that evening showed an abundance of empty seats. Both my cabin mates succumbed. and I left them white and | groaning. Fortunately, I was a good sailor; and,, having enjoyed my dinner, i later in the evening found myself in the smoking-room smoking one of Gibt son's cigars, and engaged in a chat with j that worthy, who was most friendly ! and evinced some curiosity about myself. I told my tale, which he accepted with perhaps suspicious readiness. “Employed by Tring. are you? Peppery fellow; 1 know him well. We used to be friends; now he hates me like poison. He introduced me to his friends. Spellman. Dunbarton and Yandermit, w ho severally expressed themselves delighted to make my acquaintance. The first two or three days my adversaries only skirmished, trying to pump me. and dropped broad hints as to the advantages which would follow if I joined them—hints which I ignored. As, however, they felt pretty sure that I was the bearer of the coveted map. my portmanteaus and my spare elothes were searched more than once when I was absent from my cabin. It was Spellman who. was toled off for this portion of the quest; finding I was not very cordial towards him. he struck up a friendship with one of my cabin mates, which gave him an excuse for entering at all hours. I did not think it advisable to enlighten the latter, as my attitude was to blandly ignore my adversaries’ behavior. Spellman’s researches proving of no avail, the great endeavor to discover if I had the paper took place about a week after Madeira was passed. I was playing a whist tournament-, and noticed that Dunbarton and Yandermit were playing nap with the two men who shared my cabin. I guessed that Spellman was making a thorough search, and ss soon as I was through I hurried there. It had indeed been thorough. Every article had been taken out of the portmanteaus and examined, and the portmanteaus themselves cut and hacked in search of a secret hiding place. Everything had been scrutinized; even the gray calico cover pulled off “Lock" to make sure that nothing was between it and the binding. Nor was this all, for while I surveyed the. wreck, I became conscious of an overpowering feeling of drowsiness, and knowledge came to me that I had been drugged. Too Into I remembered having just accepted

a drink from Gjfbeon; but I bad onljr sense enough left to tumble into my bunk before falling- into a heavy sleep. They no doubt searched me to the skin that night, for I slept as the dead; but though I woke next morning with a bad headache, I felt well pleased, for no result had awarded their toil. Of course I made a fuss as to the conduct of some mysterious thieves, who had not even spared the lining of my boots, and certain inquiries were instituted which came to nothing. I innocently complained to Gibson as to the bad quality of his whisky, and there apparently the matter ended, for I was molested no more. I felt that I had won, as I saw by my enemies’ manner that they had decided they were mistaken in imagining I had the map; but great Cautiousness was still necessary till the journey’s end. Never crow before you are out of the wood is an excellent piece of advice. Still, feeling that the worst was over, a sense of calm possessed me as I lounged in my Medeira chair, under the shade of the awning, for the tropical sun was very sultry, and made iced drinks a necessity instead of a luxury. Gibson continued good friends with me, and often came and chatted as I languidly studied “Lock on Gold” in my deck chair. As a practical mineralogist. he pointed out the best parts to stud}*, and I imbued much information valuable enough had 1 designed to turn miner. He was an amusing man, and his creed simple enough—“Get money, honestly if you can; but get money.” A more efficient auctioneer for selling the numbers of the ship’s run in the daily sweeps it. would be impossible to find, and I enjoyed the privilege of acting auctioneer’s clerk with “Lock” for a desk on my knee. It was four o’clock ou a Tuesday afternoon when we reached Capetown, and Gibson managed to get away by that evening's train, leaving-two of his followers to bring his luggage on the next day. " The third morning after landing found me in Fox street. Johannesburg, seeking Howard’s office. I had just seen the name on the window, and had ascended the steps to the door bf the building when a passer-by pulled up on recognizing me. It was Gibson. “Hullo!” he said; “where are you otY.to now?" The time for caution was passed, victory was mine, and I could safely enjoy niy triumph. I surveyed the baffled financier with a smile of infinite satisfaction, and replied: “I am the bearer of a certain document from Mr. Tring to Mr. Howard.” From the expression on my face and the accent on my words, he read the truth, and knew that I had baffled him, ami his face , changed. Words failed him. for he was taken quite by surprise, and bewilderment rendered hinj speechless. Enjoying his discomfiture a few seconds, 1 turned and went in, leaving him on the pavement below, the most unhappy man.in Johannesburg. Having entered the outer office and given my name to the clerk. I was speedily shown into Mr. Howard’s private room* He greeted me warmly, and in the same breath inquired if I had been successful. I said I had. “That’s good news. I’ve just got my mail and heard of your coining. Look —you see the envelope has been tampered with! You are sure Gibson hasn’t set Cyes on the map?” “Absolutely,” 1 replied, then gave him a short account of the efforts made to secure it.

.A \ * U > , luri U UUJV4U i —» you're fortunate to get here with a whole skin. But where is it aftef all? In answer I produced “Lock on Gold,” and, taking my penknife, cut off the gray calico cover, which -I had put on again after it had been pulled off. Then inserting the point into the cover itself I cut it open. There, snugly concealed, lay the precious map. 1 had, before leaving London, cut the cover open with a sharp knife, and. placing the map in between, glued up the edges with great care. Being unable to absolutely conceal the fact that the cover had been cut, I had put the calico cover over, and when it had been torn off by the eager searcher he had never noticed that the binding itself had been cut. Thus, safely and securely, the map had traveled, unseen by any eye, untouched by any hand, and now, having placed it in the possession of Mr. Howard, my mission as a special envoy was over. With the knowledge gained by the map, Howard took steps which very shortly made the land where Pepworth Tring found diamonds the property of that worthy, and I know no more, as nothing further has been heard of the discovery—no company has been publicly formed to work it. But I have a strong idea that the find turned up trumps, and that the reason of the silence is that it is too good a thing for the publie to be admitted.—Paterson's Magazine. Couldn't Dudgr CoartlBg. About 20 years since the writer knew a young man who fell deeply In love with a red-cheeked lassie, who worked in the same mill. But though she was the subject of his nightly dreams and daily thoughts, he was so bashful he could not. or dared not, show his hand. At last, driven to desperation, he put up the banns of marriage at the village church. On the following morning the unwooed bride-elect went to the young man and demanded an explanation. Thus cornered, he confessed the truth, adding: “If tha will not ha’ me. I con gi’ back word.** “Whod did tha pay?” asked the practical girl. “Four an* sixpence.” “Well, tha corn'd get it back, and it*t no use losin* four an’ sixpence; bn* tha knows thaTl ha* to come a coartin’ all*t same." i And he did.—London Telegraph.

AN INIQUITOUS TARIFF. fmperity for the Mill Boases sad VSTOrltcs. Charles H. Evans, who has had much to do with the preparation of tariff bills during the last 23 years, figures the ad valorem equivalents of the duties under the late and the present tariff in different schedules as follows: Late New Schedules. tariff, tariff. Chemicals..... 28.53 30.87 Earthen and glass ware. 35.00 52.47 Metals. 38.11 49.24 Sugar. 40.94 74.18 Tobacco.109.08 121.9V Agricultural products.. 22.44 38.42 Spirits, etc. 81.54 88.83 Cotton manufactures. 42.75 52.33 Silks. 48.98 53.41 Wools and woolens. 47.62 88.51 Mr. Evans' estimates for the three remaining schedules—wood, including lumber, pulp and paper and sundries— are not given. He places the average on all dutiable goods at 54.66 per cent, against 40.10 per cent, under the late law. The present law is the worst we ever had. Even under the McKinley bill the average on dutiable goods was only 50.06 per cent, at the highest, in 1894. Mr. Evans’ averages are figured on the basis of quantities and values of ! imports for the fiscal year 1S96. The I overage for the current fiscal yeajyvill | be less than 54.66 per cent., and may be | less than for the fiscal year 1$94, ! because so great a quantity of the goods on which rates are highest and have been increased most has been imported in advance under the lower rates of the late law. The average may reach the figure given, because many of the increased and highest rates are prohibitory, or nearly so, and the actual average will be brought down by the comparatively large importation of goods on which the duties are lowest. But for the purposes of fair comparison it is proper to figure on the basis of imports under the comparatively low tariff. So far as the actual average may be less than that figured on the basis of imports of 1S94 the difference will represent privation caused by the monstrous Dingley rates. It \yill mean that the people have been forced by the “prosperity” law to wear less woolen clothing anil more shoddy and cotton. And so of other articles of necessity and comfort. As prices advance all along the line the people will begin to see that the new law means prosperity for the mill bosses at their expense. The farmers will begin to see that the duties on their products are a fraud and an insult to their intelligence. Not a few of the tariff beneficiaries themselves who really desire to find foreign markets for their products will see that tlio Dingley' law handicaps them heavily, ami that they would be much better off without any protection for themselves if they were relieved of the expense of protecting others who could do without protection as well as they. In short, all but a few protectees organized as monopoly trusts will see that the protective system is a curse to them. Then will come a tremendous reaction, more sweeping by far than that of 1S92. and it will come to stay. Some of the monopoly protectees expect it, and that is why they grasp at the straw of a permanent tariff commission. They would be delighted to “take the tariff out of politics” just as It is. But they may as well accept the conclusion that it will not be taken out af politics until it is taken entirely out of existence as a machine for protection and that it will be taken out in that waxbefore very long and so quickly that their beads will swim as they never did oefore.—Chicago Chronicle.

OPINIONS AND POINTERS. -As to the sugar trust, it didn^t need any more prosperity.—Chicago Tribune (Rep.). ——“Prosperity is another name for high tariff,” cheerily chirps Mr. Hanna. That is, prosperity for the trusts.—St. Louis Republic. -The people will let the administration know what they think of the new tariff act when the congressional elections come around.—Kansas City Star. -W hen hoodwinked consumers be- | gin to step upwind pay higher prices I for food, clothing, furniture and carpets as a result of the tariff they will probably omit all but the last two syllables of the Te Deum Laudamus now called for by the republican party.— St. Louis Republic. -Prosperity? Why, certainly. See how much more the American laborer is to be permitted to pay for the necessities of life. Nowhere else in the world can be found such glorious privileges as those of the citizens of the United States under a high republican protective tariff.—Tammany Times. -To the man who is hungry, idle and in despair, it seems a mockery to be told that the country is in the enjoyment of unexampled prosperity. When good times come everybody will know it without being told. Does anybody know of anybocfr who is resisting the coming of prosperity?—Columbus (O.) Press. -President McKinley was reported as saying at Canton, O., that “the prospect of a good wheat crop means a return to prosperity very soon.” This \ sounds very like flat heresy against j the protectionist faith. It is impossible, according to the economic gospel of which Mr. McKinley has been the great evangel, that a good wheat crop should bring prosperity. Prosperity can onlv be the child of protection.—N. T. World. -While all the people, with the exception of a few wealthy Americans who can afford to go abroad for the purchase of their wardrobes, etc., are compelled to pay tariff duties on all foreign articles they purchase, the rich, who can best afford to pay the duties, and j who should pay the largest proportion of them, have, as a rule, paid no tribute to the government. The . new tariff stops this genteel smuggling.—Philadelphia Times.

GOO9 TIMES AND WHEAT. At Vartan «r wttb tfc* l^tte •f^Tartll Makers. People may' differ as to the relation the passage of the Dingley tariff bill may have to the evident indications of the revival of business and the return of prosperity, but no one has a doubt that wheat is the most important element among the many that are bringing about a brightened outlook and preparing the way for “good times." The settlement of the tariff agitation for at least four years will give the markets an opportunity to adjust themselves to stable conditions—a thing most desirable in the business world. But this stability is largely a negative factor, while the big crop in the United States, and especially the big crop of wheat, is a positive factor that is making its influence felt more strongly evert* day. A record crop of wheat in this country, coupled with short crops in most of the other grain-producing countries of the world, is a conjunction of circumstances that cannot fail to be advantageous to American farmers. While the shortage in Russia, the Argentine Republic, Australia. India and other countries is now said to amount to about one-tenth of the world’s crop, the United States-wheat growers, who fortunately overplanted their probable market by about 75,000.000 bushels, will pftfit greatly by this extra demand. The department of agriculture estimates the total wheat crop of the United States this year at 460,000.000 bushels, or 32.000,000 bushels in excess of that of last year. A big surplus wheat crop and an advancing price is the condition that is now making* glad the American farmer from the Alleghenies to the Pacific coast. Throughout the grain belt of the United States the crop of wheat is not only the largest since IS91, but is now safe, while the European crop, on the contrary, is the smallest since 1891. Expert statisticians estimate that the exportable surplus in the United States this year is 1S5.000.000 bushels, as compared with 145.000.000 bushels last year, a balance of 40.000.000 bushels over last year to aid in bringing good times. Compared with the millions of dollars the wheat crop will bring to America this year, the riches thus far taken from the Klondyke mines are insignificant. Kansas. Texas, Nebraska and Colorado and the west generally are already beginning to feel the good results of a most satisfactory year fn agreculture. Nebraska is said to have paid off from $23,000,000 to $30,000:000 of its mortgage indebtedness owingto the {rood crops and prices of last year and this year. Kansas is also paying off its mortgages, and the moving of the great grain crop is giving more employment and profits to the railreads. to merchants and all classes of business. Doubtless Mr. Dingley will look upon the big wheat crop in the United States as an indication that Providence is on the side of protection. In fact, most high protection payers are already pointing to the undoubted improvement of business conditions as a result of the new tariff law. The coincidence of big crops and foreign demand for our cereals.with the enactment of a tariff whose average duty rate as compared with that of the Wilson law is as 54.66 to 40.10 is at least fortunate for the country, even though it is unfortunate for the logic of tariffmakers who claim that all blessings flow from protection.—Chicago Record (Ind.).

tariff is all A Policy That Doc* Xot Help tl»c People. The currency question is not regarded as a serious one by republicans generally. There are some who, like the president, think that the federal financial system ought to be doctored; manv more who are indifferent on the subject, and not a few who insist that there is no need for any action looking to financial reform. The senate did not think the matter important enough to justify a few hours’ extension of the special session^ and the president’s message recommending the establishment of a commission was not over-courte-ously received by that body. The administration doubtless has reason to regard itself fortunate in gettinga tariff bill passed, for it is to be noted that the president signed the Dingley bill in such haste as to suggest that he was haunted by a fear that if he wasn’t quick about fastening executive sanction on it it might get away. The tariff is, therefore, all that is to be hoped for just now in the way of relief from conditions that invited the concern and activity of the administration. The protectionists say that the tariff is enough; that all good is bound up in the new law, and that the country can now settle down and enjoy the prosperity that is sure to -follow the establishment of Dingleyism as a policy. Thousands of the supporters of the “advance agent" insist that this new law is not what they voted for, but it is quite likely that the protectionist leaders know better than they do what they voted for. It seems to be held that if they didn’t vote for it they ought to have done so, and that if they don’t like it it is because they don’t know what is good for them. The new tariff is a fact, anyway, and we must make the best of it whether we like it or not. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, lapsing into a satirical mood, suggests that “everybody get rich by paving taxes and then bless the tariff* Don’t,” it says, “stop to think a minute about the necessity of having money with which to pay the taxes; that is a minor consideration. It is far more important that the trusts should have the privilege of collecting subsidies than that the money question b« settled." This is the truth, ironically speaking. The problem that the great American people should now set about solving is this: How to be happy though taxed like thnnder.—Binghamton (If. Y.)
