"How about the ga,me laws?"
"I'm coming to them. Of course

are a few precautionary measures to

whether to dances, parties, church so

"Why Sunday dinners?"
"Because Sunday's the only day
you'll be invited. Dinner on weekdays
is from 12 to 12:30. and it's strictly a
business ma I tor. no time for guests.
But you needn't fret. They won't ask
you till they've sized you up pretty
carefully."
"Oh!"
"Moreover, you must be very a

absolutely faultless, but very quiet.!

"Yrait! I'll tell you how to do it in
just a minute."
"I don't m'tiul listening-, but"—
"You'll cinch the whole business by
going to church without a break.
Don't ever fail—morning and evening,
every Sunday. Don't forget that."
"Why?"
"It's the most important thing of
all."
"Does going to church make such a
hit with the young female Jasper—the
Jasperette, as it were?"
"It'll make you more solid than any
thing else with her popper and mom
met, and that's very uecessary when
you're a candidate for their ducats as
well as their daughter. You must
work and you must go to church."
"That can't be all. Surely you can
think of something else."
"Those are the cardinal rules
church and work until you've landed
your heiress. After that you can move
back to civilization. Now. as soon as
you strike your town you want to
make arrangements for board and
lodging in some old woman's house,
preferably an old maid. You'll be sure
to find at least half a dozen of 'em
willing to take boarders, but you want
to be equally sure to pick out the
one that talks the most, so that she'll
tell the neighbors all about you. Don't
worry about that, though. They all
talk. When you've moved in stock
up your room with about twenty of
the driest looking books in the world.
Lawbooks look most imposing. Fix up
a table with lots of stationery—pens
and pencils, red and black ink. and all
that sort of thing. Make the room look
as if you were the most sincere stu
dent over. And by no means neglect
to have a well worn Bible prominently
in evidence. You can buy one second
hand at some bookstore before you
start out."
"I'd have to. of course. I thank you
for the flattery. Proceed with the pro
gram of the gay. mad life I must lead.
I'm going to have a swell time that's
perfectly plain."
"As soon as you're shaken down in
your room make the. rounds of the
stores and ask for work. Try to get
into the dry goods emporium if you
can The girls all shop there. But any
thing will do. except a grocery or a
hardware store and places like that.
You mustn't consider any employment
that would soil your clothes or rough
en your lily white hands."
"You expect me to believe I'd have
any chance of winning a millionaire's
daughter If I were a ribbon clerk in a
dry goods store?"
"The best in the world. The ribbon
clerk is her social equal. He calls her
Mary, and she calls him Joe.'*
"Done with you! Me for the ribbon
counter! Anything else?"
"The storekeepers aren't apt to em
ploy you at first. They'll be suspicious
of you."
"They will be afterward, all right.
However"—
"So you must simply call on them,
walk in, locate the boss and tell him,
'I'm looking for employment.' Don't
press it. Just say it and get out."
"No trouble whatever about that. It's
always that way when 1 ask for
work."
"They'll send for you before long,
when they make up their minds that
you're a decent, moral young man. for
they know you'll draw trade. And
every Sunday"—
"1 know—church!"
"Absolutely! Pick out the one the
rich folks go to. Go in quietly and do
just as they do—stand up and kneel,
look up the hymns and sing just when
they do. Be careful not to sing too
loud or anything like that. Just do it
all modestly, as if you were used to it.
Better go to church here two or three
times and get the hang of it."
"Here, now"—
"Nearly all the wealthy codgers in
such towns are deacons, you see, and.
though they may not speak to you for
months on the street, it's their busi
ness to waylay you after the service
is over and shake hands with you and
tell you they hope you enjoyed the
sermon and ask you to come again.
And, you can bank on it, they'll all
take notice from the first."
"It's no wonder Bartlett made you a
partner, Harry."
"Now, behave. 1 want you to get in
right. If you follow the rules I've out
lined, not only will all the girls in
town be falling over themselves to get
to you first, but their fond pareuts will
be egging them on. Then all you've
got to do is to pick out the one with
the biggest bundle and"—
"Make-a play for her?"
"Not on your life! That would be
fatal. Your part is to put yourself in
her way. She'll do all the courting,
and when she scents the psychological
moment she'll do the proposing."
"It doesn't sound natural, but you
certainly seem to know what you're
drooling about."
"YTou can anchor on that. Nat."
"And are you finished?"
"I am. Of course I'll probably think
of more things to wise you to before
you go."
Duncan laughed shortly and tilted
back in his chair, selecting another
cigarette. "And you're the chap who
wanted me to go to some bromidic old
show tonight! Harry, you're immense.
Why didn't you ever let me suspect
you had all this romantic imagination
in your system?"
"Imagination be blowed, son. This
is business." Kellogg removed the
stopper from the decanter and filled
both glasses again. i'Well, what do
you say?"
"I've just said my say, Harry. It's
amazing. I'm proud of you."
"But will you do it?"
"Everything else aside, how can I?
I've got to live, you know."
"But I propose to stake you."
Duncan came down to earth. "No,
you won't—not a cent. I'm in earnest
about this thing—no more sponging on
you, Harry. Resides"—
"No, seriously. Nat, I mean this,

there's not the slightest risk if you'll

"Harry, I believe you do."
"I do firmly. And I'll put the prop

"Go on. There's no holding you."

feturn to otherwise decided him. In
aesperation he accepted. "It's a

tle breathlessly. "I'm sure I shouldn't,
but I will."
Kellogg flung a hand across the
table, palm uppermost.
"Word of honor. Nat?"
Duncan let his hand fall Into it

"Good! It's a bargain." Kellogg
lifted his glass high in air. "To the

off the Corso, when a young officer
and a young girl took a seat at a table
near by. I speak and understand the
Italian language tolerably well, and it
as not* long before I caught the word

man was of a refined type. Th

My admiration, was especially excited
by her splendid hair, which as coiled

of ancient Rome.

family must remove from the home
they had long occupied, owing to the
rise in rents. She was also telling her
companion who. I judged, was her
fiance, that she needed a sum of mmi

convenience would accrue. Th young
man was lamenting his inability to
furnish the amount having nothing
but his pay in Hie army which is small

the injustice of my having several
times the income I could spend, while
these poor young people were? in de
peral straits for a few hundred
francs, and what disturbed me more.
as that conventional barrier which
prevented my giving them the amount
they needed, a matter which would
have conferred upon me as much
pleasure as on them.
They arose and went away without
knowing that their strictures on Amer
icans had been overheard by an Amer
ican and that they had not modulated
their voices sufficiently to prevent my
getting a vague idea of their necessi
ties. As they departed the officer said
pleadingly, "if you do it will break my
heart," to which the girl responded.
"If I do uot I fear my mother will
die."
The very next day I met the same
young lady on the Corso. On her face
was a sad but determined expression.
Without any definite purpose I turned
and walked in the same direction as
she. Presently 1 saw her turn into a
shop, in whose windows were wom
en's switches, wigs and cosmetics. I
could look through the glass and see
he girl in conversation with the pro
prietor. She removed her hat and let
dowu her hair. It was the most mag
nificent display I ever saw—very thick
and reaching to the floor. The pro
prietor was inspecting it.
The meaning of the words of the
officer who had been with her the day
before—"If you do it will break my
heart"—was now apparent to me. She
was about to raise the needed funds
by parting with her hair. I sauntered
into the shop. The proprietor motion
ed me to a seat while he bargained
with the girl. Presently I heard him
say:
"It is too valuable for me to buy
just now. when I am short of funds.
CoDie in at another time."
"Does the senorina wish to sell her
hair?" I asked. "My wife is looking
for ti switch."
"Yes. senor she would sell it."
"I would buy it, but my wife is not
in Rome, and I prefer not to own it
until her arrival. But if the senorina
will make a contract for it I will pur
chase it now."
The lady was interested and said
that the goods could be delivered
whenever I wished, whereupon 1 took
the proprietor aside, asked him what
the hair was worth stud told him to
offer on my behalf double the amount.
It was accepted with delight, and the
lady asked when and where 1 would
have ray purchase sent. I said tfiat
she was to wear it till 1 called for it.
Then I paid the whole amount of the
purchase money. The lady went away
much pleased.
1 left Rome the next day and did
not return for a year. One day on a
sidewalk restaurant on the Corso who
should I see at another table, but the
officer and the lady whose hair 1 own

they arose and came toward me.
"Senor." said the lady, "a year ago
you bought my hair for your wife."
"I remember doing so. My wife has
not yet arrived."
"When will she come?"
"I don't know. I have not yet pick

There must have been something in
my eye to give the lady a cue. for she

The two looked at each other, then

If the Republicans of Iowa are as
firmly convinced of the incontrovert
ible soundness and wisdom of protec
tion as their platform declares them to
be they are hot upon the highway to
ward' a shocking- disillusionment, for
in the same platform they point to
"the difference between the cost of
producing dutiable commodities at
home and abroad" as the one impor
tant fact to be known, and therefore
favor the ere: ion of a nonpartisan
commission to .ascertain that differ
ence and publish the facts. Let this be
honestly and efficiently done and all
apparent need for protection to main
tain "American wages." the only con
sideration in support of protection that
has any value outside the directors'
rooms of tariff sheltered trusts and the
confidential intercourse of domineer

The difference in the cost of produc
tion in this country and abroad once
generally known to the American peo
ple, it will be obvious to every voter.
though a wayfaring fool, that the cost
of production is lower in the United
States than anywhere else in the
world. The reason is that wages of
labor are higher everywhere else than
here. The notion that American wages
are relatively high rests upon a ludi
croir-'y ilhgical method of comparison.
Look at comparative wage statistics in
any all protection literature and you
will find that the t'ime consumed in
proiln tlon, ajtd never (he resulting
product, is the basis of comparison.
Because labor abroad gets, say. a dol

in the same industry gets. say. $2
the conclusion is implied and often as
serted that American industries can
not pay American wages unless com
piling foreign products are burdened
Willi a tariiT high enough to make up
for the lower wages abroad. This is
like saying that a freight car can't
compote with a wheelbarrow because
it costs so much more. The compara
tive productiveness of American and
foreign labor, the determining factor.
is ignored. If American labor at $2 a
day produces, say, twice as much in a
day as labor abroad at $1 a day, why
is protection necessary to maintain
American wages?—Public, Chicago.

Among the exhibits of the School of
Agriculture, at the Minnesota State
Pair, was one showing the method of
tying various knots in rope, useful in
the emergencies of the farm also the
method of splicing ropes. These are
among the practical arts acquired by
the student at the school. A ready
knowledge of them may not infre
quently enable the farmer to save
hours of time, or the possible loss of
some valuable animal, or even a hu
man life. Among the knots are the
following:

Clover supplies humus and
nitrogen to the soil. Both of 4«
these are essential to satisfac- 4*
tory plant growth. Clover is
so valuable a farm crop that 4
the Minnesota Experiment Sta
tion always suggests raising it •$•
on new land, and growing it
regularly in rotation with
grain, corn, root crops and 4*
potatoes. Aside from its ben
efits to the soil while grow- 4»
ing, it is the best roughage for 4*
stock, and the manure result- -r
ing from such feeding is the
most valuable of fertilizers.

The Word Derrick.
The word derrick for a machine used
to lift heavy weights is curiously de
rived from a London hangman in the
begiuning of the seventeenth century
whose name was Theodoric and who
is often mentioned in old plays. "He
rides circuit with the devil, and Der
rick must be his host and Tyborne the
inn at which he will light-' occurs in
"The Bellman of London," published
in lGKi. The name thus corrupted
came afterward to be applied by an
easy transition to the gallows and
later still to any frame or contrivance
resembling it in shape.
