Congressman Shattuc of Ohio said "The chaplain probably meant to say the Bupreme court, or else he remembered that tbe attorney general is from Pennsylvania and needs all the help he can get." At tbe opening of congress on Mon day nearly every desk in both houses was loaded with flowere. It is regarded as curious that tbe handsomest tributes of this kind were paid to Congressmen Connell of Pennsylvania Bnd Loud of California, both of whom bad been de feated after renomf nation. If We SeU We Must Buy. President McKinley discovered and proclaimed his discovery In his last speech at Buffalo that we coald not go on selling forever without buying some thing. Respectable political economists knew that more than a hundred years ago. It is a discovery only to those who are saturated with the virus of tbe mode of greed and rapacity called "pro tection." President Wilson of Princeton has just proclaimed the same economic trutb, and be puts it in a way which indicates that it is not entirely new to bim. He says we have fostered our in dustries by tariffs "till they are likely to burst unless we give them room to expand." He says "a balance must now be struck between the internal fostering and the need of an outlet to tbe reBt of tbe world." And in striking tbe bal ance we shall be forced to see that "we cannot let our products go where they will and command the markets of the world unless we are willing to take goods in exchange for them, That is the situation in a nutBhell." So it is, But neither Wilson nor Mc Kinley can make our hide-bound the oretical protectionists, Including Roose velt, see the truth. Nothing short of a financial and Industrial earthquake can open their blind eyes.—Chicago Chron icle. "The Mather of Trusts." The more one examines President Roosevelt's treatment of the tarllf in its relation to the truBtB the more he is amazed that euch a deliverance Bhould come from a man who IB reputed to be exceptionally courageous as well aa In telligent above tbe average. Of tariff reduction as a means of reaching the evils of trusts Mr. Roose velt says: "Not meerely would this be wholy Ineffective, but the diversion of our efforts in such a direction would mean the abandoment of all intelligent attempt to do away with these evils." '•Wholly Ineffective?" Then why does Mr. Roosevelt say further on that "of course If In any case it be found. that a given rate of duty does promote a monopoly which works ill no pro tectionist would object to such reduc tion of the duty as would equalize com petition?" And why does be himself propose to put antracite coal on the free list? Bigoted tariff monopolist as be IB, Mr. Roosevelt cannot quite close bis eyes to the fact stated by that great truBt pro tectee, Mr. Havemeyer, that "the tariff is tbe mother of trusts." Mr. Roosevelt must more than suspect that "efforts" to deprive tbe trusts of their tariff shelter would not mean the abandonment of all, or even any, intelli gent attempt to do away with the evils of trusts in other ways. To abolish or reduce the duties which enables trusts to export from the American people 25 to 100 per cent more for their products than they are glad to get from the people of other countries would in no way hinder us from adopting other measures for the abatement of trust evils excepfby rend ering other measures unnecessary. What Mr. Roosevelt carefully avoids throughout his somewhat extended dis course on this subject is the fact that very many articles are exported In great quantities and sold at world prices In open competition with all comers, even In their own markets, while they are sold at prices ranging from 25 to 100 per cent higher to American people. Pit Office over the Backet Store Manchester, Iowa. This IB not theory, but fact—notor ious fact. It is also admitted fact—and the people who are playing this game of crashed bone extortion try to make UB believe it is all! right—that it is quite the correct thing to bleed Americans in order to enable some of them to sell goods much cheap-' er abroad than at home and yet amass huge fortunes. There are Americans who say this is not all right, but all wrong, and they are not democrats exclusively. The western woods and in some localities the eastern are full of republicans who are heartily Blck of this Bort of thing and will make themselves heard in one way or another. They know, if Mr. Roosevelt does not, that It is the tariff and nothing else that enables our manufacturers, wheth er organized into trusts or not, to exact more for their goods at home than they get for tbem abroad. They know, furthermore, if Mr. Roosevelt does not, that our producers are not selling great quantities of their goodB abroad at a loss. They know that our protectees sell abroad because they can make money at the prices they get and that they can well afford to sell to their own countrymen at the Bame prices, They are not fooled for one minute by Mr. Roosevelt's assertion that men who can afford to sell without protec tion In the markets of tbelr fiercest competitors would be ruined by selling at the same prices at home. They are getting very tired of this extortion under shelter of the tariff, and the first thing Mr. Roosevelt knows they will be ready to tear down the shelter along with the stupidly false pretense that it ta not a shelter,—Chi cago Gbronlole.~ The Old Song And The New.

Iowa Slate Cutlfgc. In order to meet the urgent demand for more thorough knowledge regarding the most deeirablH types of live Btock and the ccoat economical methods of producing the same the Animal Hus bandry Department of the Iowa State College offers a two week's course in stock judging for the benefit of the farmerB of the middle west. This course is not Intended for the young man who has tlio lime and opportunity for taking a innre thorough course In Agriculture. It 1s intended especially for that large mass of farmers who, on account of business operations and other reasons, cannot avail themselves of the opportunity of taking a full course In Agriculture. In addition to our resruUr corps of instructors we have eoi:ured the services of some of tbe most prominent live stock experts on the continent. Each instructor will bo a specialist In his par ticular line, a man who knows his work from the beginning to the end. A new feature will be introduced thie year in the form of slaughter test. Animals representing each of tbe var ious market classes of cattle will be in spected on foot, then killed, cut up and discussed in detail by John Gosling, Kansas City, Mo., a man who is per fectly familiar with tbe work and who possesses tbe happy faculty of being a born genius fur Imparting knowledge to others. The Following Program WUl Be Carried Out. SHEEP—January 5th, 6th and 7th. A careful study of tbe mutton and wool types the desirable and undesirable points to be observed in selecting each of the various breeds, and the beet methods of breeding, feeding, care' and management of tbe farmer's flock. HORSES—January 8th, Uth Bnd 10th. A critical study of the various market types of heavy and light horses. Speci mens representing each of the^varlouB types will be used in demonstrating this work. Tbe best methodB of breed ing, feeding, and producing horses on tbe farm. SWINE—January 12th, 13th and 14tb. A critical study of the market types of fat and bacon bogs. Representatives of each of tbe various breedB will be used In illustrating tbe desirable and undesirable features to be observed in selecting breeding stock. The moBt economical methods of producing swine will also be given due attention. CATTLE—January 15tb, 16th and 17th. A critical study of tbe beBt types of beef and dairy cattle. Representatives of each of the several market classes^of beef cattle will be provided for this work. A careful study of the animals on foot, then a study of their carcasses after being slaughtered. This will af ford an education which cannot be had els where. Applications should be forwarded at once as tbe number admitted will be limited. An entrance fee of @2.00 will be charged to cover the expenses of securing outside lecturers and speci mens of stock not owned by tbe Col lege. A school in corn judging will be conducted by Professor Holden and bis co workers. The work in Belecting, breeding and improvement of corn is one which the farmer of the central west can well afford to study most care fully. 'M-\^ '4 W. J. KENNEDY, Ames, Iowa. POULTRY POINTERS. Supply plenty of gravel to fowls that are being fattened in confinement. Chickens should never be allowed to go ou the roosts until ten or twelve weeks old. Lime is purifier and should be used as a wnsli on the coops, perches and nest boxes. If a hen lays soft shelled eggs, give her plenty of gravel, oyster shells and Ducks should be allowed as much liberty as possible. They are not par tial to confinement. Flat eggs, eggs within eggs, double yollced eggs and other unnatural for mations are due to the hens being over- fut Geese may be fattened on any kind of grain if fed all that they will eat for about ten days before sending them to market Coru, peas and barley are best Young chicks of fancy breeding should not be permitted to roost on perches until after they are eight mouths old, as it often causes crooked breast bones. Accumulating filth Is a prolific source of disease, especially gapes. After the poultry yard is cleaned up sprinkle it well with diluted carbolic acid and a little copperas. FRUITS AND FLOWERS. In planting the orchatd care should be taken to allow each tree plenty of room. A layer of charcoal in the bottom of a flower bed is very beneficial in keep ing the soil fresh. In plowing in tho orchard always turn the furrow toward the tree, and be careful not to injure the fine, fibrous roots. The life of an apple tree is often shortened because it grows in a poor, exhausted soil or one not properly drained. When ill or aiUng, handle tho flowers little or wear gloves. Delicate plants are sensitive to human magnetism, good or bad.

An apple or cherry tree Is much more valuable If It shoots out low. Trim from the top, nB this will cause tbe lower branches to grow out. Luiul that has been too rough for plowing may yet be sufficiently fertile to grow fruit trees and is better than land that has been exhausted by crop Pint'. All Sirloin. Ilolman F. Day's "Pino Tree Bal lads" tells in verse a number of sto« rles that actually happened "down In Maine," and are remembered there to day by old narrators. One relates to Barney McGauldrie, a landlord of that state, at whoso house famous men liked to stay, that they might enjoy a merry Joke. Barney was always loyal to his friends. At one time a new meat dealer came to town and tried to se cure the landlord's trade. "I have always bought meat of Jed Haskell," said Barney, "and I guess I won't change." "But," said the othert "old Haskell doesn't know his busiuess. Ho doesn't even know how to cut meat." "Well," drawled Barney. "I've al ways found -that he knows enough about it to cut sirloin steak clear to the horn, aud that's good enough for me." The IVIIKUIII'M Damp of Locality. On shore the penguin is an awkward creature. Water is its element. When hunted on the ice floes, the birds gen erally try to run away In an upright position, but just as the hunter thinks he has got one the bird lies down on its white belly and paddles along over the snow very quickly, the hard, smooth quills slipping over the snow crystals almost without friction. A remarkable characteristic of the penguin is his bump of locality. Both on shore and In the water he nefer loses his way. To human eyes one ice floe is precisely like another, but under that roof of similar Ice floes I have seen a penguin of the larger species And its mate on a floe after diving and swimming for a full mile under water,--Leslie's. -V :v Iter Sentiments, It Is related of a clergyman who was the father of a charming and beauti ful daughter that one day while pre paring his Sunday sermon he was sud denly called away from his desk on a mission of mercy. The sentence at which he left off was this: "1 never see a young man of splendid physique and the promise of a glorious manhood al most realized but my heart Is filled with rapture and delight." His daughter, happening to enter tlio study, saw the sermon and read the words. Sitting down, she wrote under neath, "My sentiments, papa, exacts ly!" A Queer Transaction* Sir Arthur Sullivan discovered at Monte. Carlo one time that certain res taurant proprietors had a way of reg ulating their charges with the appear ance and standing of their customers. When lunching alone, Sir Arthur was lu the habit of frequenting one partic ular place where ho knew to a centime what the prices were. One day there sat at the table adjoin ing his own a wealthy Russian noble man. Upon asking for his bill the composer found that the prices were exorbitantly high. Ho sent for the proprietor and demanded an explana tion. Whi ly The man, an Italian, recognized Sir Arthur as an influential client and was profuse In his apologies. He ex plained that the mistake lay with the cashier. Going over the Items to which exception was taken, the proprietor said: "The couvert I take him off di rectly, and the butter I charge him to the grand duke. He not notice it." The Idea of charging to the grand duke an item against whose extortiou ate price another customer protested always struck the great composer as a decidedly humorous way of getting out of the diiflculty. Royal Road to Wealth. a certain late shah of Persia ueeame temporarily embarrassed for money, he had quite a unique method of filling his purse. He would go to the market, where, after examining the shops, he would select one and, turnlug to the proprietor, would say, "Will you take me in as a partner in your business for the day?" The of fer was, of course, eagerly accepted. The shall would take his scat near the shop entrauco and say to his courtiers, whom he always took witl^hiui ou these occasions: "Now, I'm salesman. Who'll buy?" The latter, not daring to refuse the offers of the royal mer chant, set about clearing the shop of its contents, paying sometimes £50 for goods that wore not worth £10. No one was allowed to beat down prices or to leave the place without makiug purchases. When everything was sold, the shah had a list of the cost prlco of each article made out aud loyally, shared with tho shopkeeper the amount of the profit realized. The Word Bible, The word Bible furnishes a striking instance of a word's rise from very low to high estate. To the bulk of English speaking folk it now means the book of books. In Chaucer's day it meant any book whatever or scroll to speak by the card lest equivocation undo us. Tracing the word Bible straight home, wo find It as bublos, but another name for the papyrus reed of Egypt.—National Review. A Clerical Conundrum. ArcliblsUop WliuU'ly once asked tlie question: "Why can a luau never starve In tlio K«'«t desert V" and answered it himself as follows: "He cause he can eat the sand which is there.
