He strongly enforced the of organization and of united effort of all decent men at the ary polls, to the end that there may be assembled a representa- { de ive convention responsible for its acts to the ele- ments of local decency and local patriotism. Major Weinstock fol- in the 1e line, advising such sacrifice of time and ease as necessary to “show ‘the world that you have civic pride ism that rise above the love of gain; that you have con- e courage to live up to them; that you have high ve to attain them; that you are alive to the duties 1 e work to me ave e lowed of American citizeniship and do not shirk them.” Mr. James H. Barry continued the inspiring expressions of high purpose by advising organization broad enough to command the npathy and support of all the people who think alike in re- £pe o good government. He called attention to the small per- centage of voters who took part in the last primary, the absentees 1 ing it possible for one man to control both conventions, and with one exception to betray the nominees of both. He spoke for scores of others in saying: “I have scant respect for the man who is ever prating of good government, but never does anything to bring it about.” » Rev. Mr. Rader, who is a force to be reckoned with in our muni- cipal life, added to the strength of all that had been said for civic | righteousness, and all who were present felt that the first gun had been fired in a campaign that is to be fought to a finish, and that the finish will not scotch but kill the serpent of municipal graft, theft and dishonesty, inan) because of reciprocity treaties the Berlin Government has just concluded, favoring the nations of Central and East- ern Europe, give interest to the surprising figures of our trade with that empire and to an opinion recently expressed by the president the National Manufacturers’ Association of the United States abour the development of our foreign markets. D. M. Parry, the president of this association, says it is difficult to see how we can improve our markéts abroad unless we can obtain some concessions in the tariff schedule of those countries whose markets we seek. The action of Germany toward us is of the more importance 1 yse our sales to that country exceed those of any other nation. In 1903 the amount was $222,414,000. We buy only about half as much as that from her, and rank only as her third best customer. The nations with which she has made favoring commercial agree- ments are Russia, Austria-Hungary, Italy and some of the smaller states of Central Europe. These states are to receive a minimum tariff rate on specified classes of imports. Against all other nations the maximum tariff rate is to be enforced. America will be shut aut by these,treaties in spite of the fact that we now have the “most favored nation” privilege, unless some new tariff arrangements be made which will neutralize the treaties of Germany with neigh- boring nations.

Then the old man asked for a stick about a yard long- This was brought him. He gr it firmly, went to the doorway, and said: ‘Now turn ’em out, one at a time.’” formal MIRROR OF DAME F CLEVER BOW-KNOT COIFFURE.

She was one of the passengers | on a steamship returning from Eurepe, It was her first trip abroad, though she had traveled all over the United States, and - consequently her first experience with customs inspectors. “She had evidently been thoroughly impressed with the rigor of the customs | laws, but it did not deter her, neverthe- less, from buying a considerable quan- tity of dress goods for herself. Her courage failed Her evidently shortly be- jfore her arrival, for she confided in a fellow passenger that she had bought the goods but didn't know how to get | them into this country and she didn’t want to pay the duty. “Her uncertainty was short-lived, however, for the other traveler told her that as she had made several trips she knew exactly how to go about it te elude the watchful eye of the inspector. ‘You let me smuggle the things in for you,” she told her, ‘and then the next 'day after we land you can come to my | house and get the things.’- She gave | her an address on West Ninety-first street. “The day after the boat landed the unsophisticated traveler went down to the customs office with tears in her eyes. She had been to the address and found no one there by the name she had | known her companion by. “Just why she came to us, I don't know, but it probably never occurred to her that she had done anything wrong. As the goods were worth several hun- dred dollars, we felt that she had been punished enough, and after thoroughly frightening her we let her go with some sound advice. “I don’t believe that she ever re- covered any of her goods, but if she ever goes abroad agaln and wants to bring any goods into the country with- out paying the duty on. them, I think | viduak.offers she will try to do the smuggling her- self, rather than trust the sympathetic stranger to do it for her.” DE PAY-DAY GRIN.

There was a fire in a tenement in New York one night recently, and with the exception of the mothers who looked after their children, every one shifted for himself. Among those left to perish was a woman whe had been a helpless paralytic, confined to her bed and unable to work for twenty years. What did she do? She found that fright overcamé her diséase and she got up and hurried out and found her way to a neighber’'s without a twinge of pain. Commenting upon this the Atchison Globe says: Here is an,. “idea™: Don’t sit around ana read to people who are very sick. Burn rags out- side, fill the room with smoke, and ring the fire bells. The fire bell may in time become the emblem of perfect health. It is known in many cases in Atchison that people who have claimed to be teo sick to work have run like trotting horses to the scene when the fire bells rang. all pain forgotten. There are a number in Atchison to- day who should have the fire bells rung on them. ———— Cornelius Vanderbilt, in spite of his activity in business and as an inventor, devotes. lots of his time.in the summer to yatching.
