Blaine, was revoked by Grover Cleve land, after its beneficent results had been demonstrated in our trade rela tions with several South American na tions and with Cuba, Mexico and Can ada, there has been, especially in the west, a large following anxious to. review reciprocal trade rela tions with other "nations. Reci procity as taught by Mr. Blaine and provided for in the McKin ley tariff law, proved very beneficial to all sections of the United States, but particularly the west. Under the treat ies negotiated our foreign commerce with South and Central America and the West Indies increased as never be fore or since. "The west was pleased because the shipments of flour, pork, beef and farm machinery showed a substantial gain to the countries with whom reciprocal treaties were in force. It looked like the South American trade, wjjich had been, largely control led by European countries* would be gained to the .United .States. South American countries were also much pleased. The Pan-American Congress was inaugurated and relations between the Americans became more amicable than ever before. But the Cleveland administration spoiled all that. The reciprocity treaties were revoked and the result was South American coun tries became disgruntled. The United States lost prestige with southern neighbors. Trade with them fell off and Uncle Sam threw away an excel lent opportunity. It is no wonder then that a great many people of this coun try believe in commercial reciprocity and heartily sympathize with President Roosevelt in his determination to se cure the endorsement by congress at the special session of the Cuban reci procity treaty. The west seems to be lieve more thoroughly in reciprocity than any other part of the country. It is a liberal trade policy, endorsed by Blaine, Harrison, McKinley, Roose velt and other great leaders of the re publican oarty. It was reciprocity that claimed the attention of President Mc Kinley in his last speech and what- he said on..the matter seems just a^ £ppli cable Adw £is when he said it,s .... ..

They seem to pay too much at tention to detailing his glaring bom bastry and overbearing effrontery to suit his tastes. That magazine writer was right in say ing Mayor Harrison of Chicago was honest.

QUEER COUPON^.,. Sabbath observance in Belgium is optional, especially in regard to the de livery of letters. Postage stamps have a tiny coupon at the bottom on which is th5 legend, engrived both-in French and Dutch: "Not to be delivered* on Stinday." If the sender of the letter is a person of strong religious views who believes in observing the Sabbath in every form he permits the coupon to remain at tached to the stamp, and the letter whiclvtnight be delivered Sunday dods not go out xf the receiving office until the following day. If, on the other hand, the sender of the letter has no scruples, he tears off the coupon, and the letter is delivered on Sunday, the same as any other day, A fine is im posed on the carrier for violating the instructions of the coupon. As Dutch is spoken a great deal in Belgium, the warning appears on the cioupon in that language as well as in French, says The New York Press. The coupon is an innovation even in Belgium, one of the most progressive countries' in th^ pdstal union, and has been in use less than two years, ac cording to the foreign 'm&il clerks in the city postoffice. It was the direct result of Sabbath agitation In Belgium. The postal authorities were about to yield to the outcry against the Sunday delivery of letters, \Vhen the socialist party made a violent protest in the chamber Of deputies. So persistent were the socialists in the outcry against what they consider ed the violation of the principles of in dividual liberty that the postal authori ties decided to try the ^coupon plan as a compromise, hoping that it would ap pease both sides. It is satisfactory only in a measure, however.

He said it would lead more people into these vices than it would reclaim or save from them. He said that it reminded him of a story of a Catholic priest in Irelahfl fifty years ago who was said to have tested the effect of' suggestion in the confes sional. One day—&o the story went—when the priest, had an Irish farmer in the confessional he solemnly asked him if he had ever greased his horses' teeth to keep them from eating their oats. The man looked up in astonishment and said in the most emphatic manner: "Never, never! In fact, I ne.ver heard Of such a thing^in my life." The confession passed off smoothly, but shortly afterward when the farmer was' confessing again the same ques tion was asked: "Have you ever greas ed your horses' teeth to keep them from eating their oats?" The man hung his head and said: "Well, I have done it once or twice." "That tells the whole story," said the sidewalk philosopher as he passed on. v ^What are pumpkins made for, any way?" said one man to another, ys?,ter day as they emerged from a grocery store, in whith there was a gorgous pile of the harvest beauties. ''.What are they made for, I-ask?

"I'm talking about pumpkins." said the first. "Everywhere I go in this town I see the finest sort of pumpkins 011 exhibition, but I never ran against them except on exhibition. I wonder if they are ever eaten here, and if so, by whom. I live at the best hotels and restaurants in this city, but I never come across a piece of pumpkin pie." "Bosh!" said the other. "It is on every bill of fare from Front Street to the G. N. depot." "Oh, I know it is,*' said the other. "It is on the bill of fare, but when yon call for it you get squash pie."" "What is the difference?" -^i "There is much differe«c&' The m.ost delicate flavor and delicate taste Jviiown to the human palate is that of the pumpkin. Compared with it the squash is tasteless.
