A LETTER FROM OHIO

"I have just been reading in the Commercial Tribune of Cincinnati, about the Indiana convention, which states that Senator Beveridee spoke In scathing terms of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, and that his speech was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. The paper then, editorially, slaps the Indiana Republicans in the face by calling Beveridge a 'theorist' and saying that he and the Indiana Republicans 'might as well yield to the inevitable. I hope the Indiana Republicans will slap back so hard that the smack will be beard across the continent."

That is an extract from a mild and gentle farmer letter from a neighboring county in Ohio. We have been told that all the fanners are for the Payne-Aldrich tariff law as it stands, because of the supposed benefit which the farmer receives from certain schedules. The objection will be raised that this is some man who cannot keep soul and body together because of his poor managing ability. On the contrary in the very next paragraph he casually remarks: "I came home from Cincinnati hist evening where I had been with another car load of $11.10 hogs." The man has also a considerable number of sheep and cattle.

Of course this is an exception and the man is not informed on the tariff question because he believes that this is merely a moral issue. There are a number of misguided farmers like him in Indiana. Of a certainty he is the only one in Ohio. Beveridge and the Indiana Republicans must accept the Commercial Tribune's inspired "inevitable" and hold their own election in their own way. This is mere "theory."

YES?

Says the Shelbyville Republican: "In these days of determination to speak of and write mean things about the Payne-Aldrich bill, it is extremely gratifying to know that the government's revenues are increasing at a surprisingly delightful rate, which fact the more pronounced Republican advocates of free trade should notice."

Is the Shelbyville Republican in favor of a protective tariff or has It gone over to the Democratic idea of tariff for revenue only?

Summer Homes. r Worn the Boston Transcript. la few respects have the customs of the American people more rapidly changed within the memory of living men than in reference to the smmer outing. It is only within the last generation or two that people have generally left the cities for summer homes in the country, by the seashore or in the mountains. Not only has the custom of maintaining two regular homes practically come in, but the way In which the year is divided between the two has very greatly changed In the last half century. The country season is steadily growing longer. All this Is the logical outcome of the

growth of our cities, as well as the growth of wealth and of public taste. The old Boston of seventy years ago 'was almost aa rural in Its access to the fields and the seaside as are many of the places in which Boston people now maintain their summer establishments. The. time has gone by when an unwritten law or duty or a social custom compelled even the wealthy to chooso between staying in the city during the heated term or seeking what repose could be found in a few approved watering places whose mammoth hotels were usually congested. Yet the time when the revolution in thought that impelled the city countryward in the summer began is not so long gone by that the middle-aged, or the man and woman In the fortiees, cannot recall the curiosity which inspired them to doubt whether the closed shutters on urban residence streets mean that the family was actually away. - Whiskers. From the providence Journal.

xvotning in human eccentricity is more amazing than the obtuse persistency with which the average devotee of whiskers clings to his exhibit of face fringe, in Bpite of all esthetic and hygienic arguments for for elimination. Whiskers seem to be a most peculiar obsession with those who wear 'em. The predilection of this form of hirsute outbreak- constitutes a fanaticism such as has been rarely equaled in the annals of the human race. The malignant manner in which it takes hold of its victims is unapproached by any other form of mental error, with the possible exception of that remarkable hallucination that Infuses occasional individuals with a strange passion for

the game of croquet. The great trou

ble with whisker wearers Is apt to be that they come to regard whiskers as

a matter of principle Instead of allow

ing them to hold their proper status in the scheme of natural phenomena as mere facial Incidents, to be developed

or suppressed according to the actual demands of art, health and happiness

or the exigencies of time, place and circumstances. Milwaukee' Exaerimant.

Froni the New York Tribune. '

The election of a socialist mayor, backed up by socialist municipal coun

cils, In Milwaukee, will assure some interesting political experimentation. It is well enough for socialist candidates to spend the time before election telling the people about the wonderful things which will happen it the socialist party is victorious. But sad is

the fate of the randidate who, having

made all the gorgeous promises com

pressed into social campaign literature,

Is called upon to redeem them in post

election performances. The new administration in Milwaukee' is pledged - to secure, among other things, cheaper gas, coal and wood through the operation of municipal plants, three-cent street car fares, cheaper bread, penny lunches, work for the unemployed at union wages and free use of water for widows who do washing to support families.

No shout disturbs the air so warm; It is the calm before the storm. Oh.' what care we. 'mid scenes like these. For strife that threatens o'er the seas? This is in life's enormous scheme The moment of suspense supreme!

An Irish lad fell in love with a sprightly lass aud determined to put his fate to the test. The next time he met her was St Valentine's day, and be boldly said to her. "Will ye be my valentine?" "No," she replied. "I am another's.1 He heaved a sigh and said: "Shure, thin, darlin. I wish ye was twins, so that I could have at laste the half of ye."

Tn ria Ulov Kid. The average kid glove, according to those who should know. Is not made of kid at all, but of goat or lamb skin. The kids from which the real kid glove is made are nurtured and cared for almost as carefully as are race horses. Most of theui are reared in a mountainous district of France. The kids are nourished on milk alone and are never allowed to eat grass, as that would coarsen the skin. The kid is kept in a pen. where be can receive no scratch or bruise. They are thus kept, as It were," iu cotton wool until the age when the skin is of most value. They are then carefully killed and the skin dressed -with the utmost skill. Sheep, deer and colts are also used for O called kid nd rtrtri;tTi triors.

SPILLED MILK. "1 made a big mistake, and I can't get over it. I am very much discouraged and scarcely know what to do." Thus spoke a friend of mine. -Why," said 1. "that is no matter to cause you regret or wake you fret yourself. The fact that you have made a mistake is a good piece of news for you." ' '. "W-h-a-t?" said my friend. "Certainly, , We all make mistakes, and the sooner we discover them the better. Is it not so? You should be glad you discovered your error so soon.".;'. It was a new viewpoint. But It is the proper way to view our mistakes and blunders. Tbe sooner we can rectify them and the less time wo spend In .brooding over them the better for us. , We are all more or less hapless blunderers. And perhaps the strongest of us make the most mistakes. But the strong mau does not sit down and pine. He realizes it probably has been his own fault, corrects the mistake, learns tbe lesson and goes ahead. So. should you fall down, get up, brush off the dust and go on. The, world is full of opportunities to correct mistakes. Perhaps no piece of writing extant hns caused more false philosophy than Ingall's poem on "Opportunity." The teaching of tbe verse is that opportunity knocks but once at every man's door. " Bosh! ' -; Opportunity knocks constantly at every man's door, else the human race would have been extinct long ago. Were we fallible to know the way and strong to follow tbe way we might need but a single chance in a lifetime, but we are neither fallible nor strong. We are but children "children crying in the night." . Nature knows our childishness, and she forgives us again and again and again. How often she heala a wound' How many chances she gives us! And this, though we constantly disobey ber. Nature knows and forgives. And God forgives, else we should not be alive. On tbe rough and stony way upward our feet will often stumble and stray into thorns. But our feet are established . again, and the brier wounds soon heal. "AH we like sheep" But if we all go astray we should all learn a lesson, and Above all else, let us not lose valuable time and energy iu crying over spilled milk. There is plenty more milk where that came from. Get up and fill your pail!

Th Great Attraction. The boys' brigade of Glasgow, several thousand strong, held a grand review some time ago. - Lord Roberts had promised to inspect the brigade battalions, but at tbe last moment was prevented by illness. A local officer was secured to till his place, and in selling tickets for tbe inspection It was thought only fair to let purchasers know that tbe distinguished field marshal would not be present. One small brigade boy came up and asked for two tickets for his father and mother. The clerk said. "Do your father and mother know that Lord Roberts is not to be present?" To which the boy replied, with a look of self confidence, -It's no Lord Roberts they're comin to see; It's me."

Roosevelt Displeases Some French Women Piqued Because Ex-president Requested Only Men Who Understood English Attend His Lecture at the Famous Sorbonne.

By La Voyageuse. Paris, April 9. As former President Roosevelt,' no longer the hunter, but the hunted, approaches civilization, (which, of course, means Paris) expectancy on the part of the French people grows In proportion. The French capital seems to feel more than usual interest in Mr. Roosevelt's forth

coming visit. The "Femmes Savan-

tes," literally translated the "Wise women" of Sorbonne, before which world famed society the famous American Is to lecture are piqued at his request made to the officials of the Sorbonne, that only men who speak and Understand English be Invited to his lecture. Women in France are accustomed to be shown the utmost gallantry by men, consequently the many brilliant and clever women who are members of the Sorbonne and these include probaWy many of the cleverest in the world are wondering why they are to be excluded. It is believed that when the facts are made plain to the ie Colonel Roosevelt," as he is called here, he may consent to deliver a lecture for the benefit of the women members; at least they hope so. Not for years has such general Interest In the coming of a foreigner been displayed as in the approaching visit of the man, who is regarded by many French men and women as the foremost American of the day. It is alike curious and amusing to note the ideas about his visit which prevails among a large part of the great middle class of the "trades people," as our English cousins term them. It is a stalwart body in France, composed of hard working men, aided by their wives, who combine tremendous business acumen with the qualities of good wives and mothers. Their interest in Colonel Roosevelt for some unknown reason, is remarkable. They all know of him and wonder about him in a childlike way, many

"THE TABLE THAT TALKED"

BY EMILE BERQERAT

Alibard loved Musora, but Musora did not love Alibard. I do not know why, but probably it was because she was pretty and he ugly, though pretty women often fall in love with very ugly men. , Nobody knew anything about Musora's antecedents, where she came from or what her real name was. She was a fortune teller. She was probably between twenty-five and thirty, with a wealth of golden hair; her eyes were large, brilliant and deep blue: and her mouth a poet's dream of loveliness. Her voice and manners were charming, and as the people of bur town are very superstitious she soon worked up a splendid business. Alibard had met her on a steamer which brought him back to France after a very disastrous 1 tour in , South America. He was a comedian, but possessing no talent he had never been successful, and while abroad he had been forced to exist, ever since the company was left stranded in Rio de Janeiro, on his talent as a ventriloquist, which was marvelous. Since his return home he hounded the pretty fortune teller's seances, and as Musora had repeatedly warned him to stay away, he had to resort to strategy in order to be near his beloved, whose heart he was determined to conquer at any cost, aa life was not worth living without her. , One evening he was present at one of the beautiful sourceress' seances disguised as an old lady, and hidden away in the last row of seats. After a few preliminary feats of chiromancy, and fortune telling from cards, during which an old colonel had caused considerable - trouble by his skepticism, the principal number of the program the famous dancing tablewas announced. . The room was darkened; Musora sat down at a small table and placed her hands flat on top of it. 4 x There were a few moments of breathless suspense, then the table began to rock and sway In a strange manner, "denoting the unmistakable presence of spirits. Musora asked the skeptic colonel to kindly address any question he wanted to the spirits, and he did so with the utmost politeness: "Spirit, who are you?" Instead of the reply that was expected in the usual knocking language, to which, all spirits hitherto . known to have been wont to answer, a voice coming from one end of the legs of the table replied: "Mollere." The audience was still dumfounded when another voice that first seemed to come from far away but gradually drew closer interrupted: "He is not telling the truth; it is not Mollere, it is Regnard." . The colonel looked at Mnsora, who was quite pale as she replied: "There must be two spirits.- It very often happens when the audience is- sympathetic." Her face remained calm, but she was very much perturbed at the phenomenon of the talking table, which had never been heard of before, neither at her seances nor anywhere else in the world. The colonel, who was now greatly impressed, asked in his most solemn

voice: "Whom of the two great and illustrious spirits may I be permitted to address?" . vx "None of them," came the answer. "You will please'address me." "And who are you?" "Beaumarchais." It seemed then as if the three-legged table was now inhabited by three great spirits, one in each leg. . 'Sir, this is Indeed an unexpected honor " the colonel stammered. "That, is about enough," came a fourth voice, '"perhaps someone else may get a chance now." There came a noise as if a number of people were quarreling, not only In the room, but on the stairs and even in the -street. The audience began to get uneasy and restless. "One voice at a time This Napoleon is unbearable now do not push so, Beethoven I beg your pardon, I am Frederic Lemaitre and I am Troppen-

auner Did you ever see such people? Please behave like Frenchmen. I am Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans And I am George Sand Musset, will you please be quiet Please wait until your turn comes I 'am smothering." By this time the audience was panic stricken. Big dogs were heard

barking, cats were mewing, and the pi

ano in the corner was playing "Acb

du lieber, Augustin,' though no one

touched it and not a key was moving.

Women were fainting and the colonel had fled, leaving the door wide

open "behind him, while from the ball was heard a chorus of sprit voices: "You are . right, my dear William the Conqueror, these people are very rude Why, are you here, too, William Tell After you, Mahomet This way, please, George Washington." . Everyone had fled now and In the room were only Musora, the table and the old lady, all apparently paralyzed.

"I. am ruined," sighed the sourcer

ess. "Nobody will come here any more. Oh, what has happened? What has happened?'. . . "Nothing very serious," replied the old lady in Alibard's voice. "You know how dearly I love you, and I

nnlv mantnH in thnw von that vontrtl.

oquism is an art."

Now the two are married. She rails herself Mme. Alibard, and is making a fortune with her new spiritualistic phenomenon the talking table.

It la too expensi re, as the grower must hare big price for it to pay him for use of land and labor to grow, dig aud pack such a tree. It is too large to handle properly and plant in tbe orchard, and the shock la too great for such a large tree to be removed after growing four years In a crowded nursery row. The chances are all against tbe tree being of desirable shape, and there Is but little chance for tbe planter to get it into tbe desired shape of the modern orchard tree. Tbe very best tree to plant in the orchard Is a good one year tree. Such a tree shoutd be from three to fire feet high, according to variety, tome varieties making much more growth than others In the same soil.
