"Would you mind ringing for Rob
bins?" Duncan asked abruptly.
"Certainly." Kellogg pressed a but
ton at bis elbow. "What d'you want?"
"A straitjacket and a doctor to tell
which one of us needs it."
Kellogg, chagrined as he always was
If joked with when expounding one of
bis schemes, broke into a laugh that
lasted until Robbius appeared.
"You rang, sir?"
"Yes. Put those decanters over here,
and some glasses, please."
"Yes. sir."
The man obeyed and withdrew. Kel
logg filled two glasses, handing one to
Duncan.
"Now be decent and listen to rae.
Nat. I've thought this thing over for
—oh, any amount of time. I'll bet any
thing it will work. What d'you say?
Would you like to try it?"
"Would I like to try it?" A convic
tion of Kellogg's earnestness forced
Itself upon Duncan's understanding
'Would I!" He lifted his glass and
drained it at a gulp. "Why. that's the
first laugh I've had for a month!"
"Then I'll, tell you"—
Duncan placed a pleading hand on
his forearm.
"Don't kid me, Harry," he ontvoattyl.
"Not a bit of it. This is straieht

"Rules! Man, 1*11 follow all the rules
in the world! Come on, I'm getting
palpitation of the heart, wailing Tell
it to me, what've I got to do?"
"Marry," said Kellogg serenely.
"Marry!" Duncan echoed, aghast.
"Marry," readinned the other with
unbroken gravity.
"Marry who?"
"A girl with a fortune. You 5ee, I
can't guarantee the precise size of her
pile. That all depends on MvU and the
locality. But it'll run anywhere from
several hundred thousand up to a mil
lion, perhaps more."
Duncan sank back despondently.
"You ought to be ashamed of your
self, Harry." he said dully. "You had
me all excited for a minute."
"No, but honestly, I mean what I
say."
"Now look here, do you really think
any girl with a million would take a
chance on me?"
"She'll jump at it."
Duncan thought this over for a
while. Then his lips twitched. "What's
the matter with her?" he inquired.
"I'm willing to play the game as it
lies, but I bar lunatics and cripples."
"There's no particular her, yet. You
can take yotir pick. I've no more idea
where she is than you have."
"Now I know you're stark, staring,
gibbering"—
"Not a bit of it. I'm inspired, that's
all. I've solved your problem you
only can't believe it."
"How could I? What the devil are
you getting at. anyhow?"
"This pet scheme of mine. Lend me
your ears. Have you ever lived in a
one horse country town, a place with
one unspeakable hotel and about twen
ty stores and five churches?"
"No."
"I have. I was born in one of 'em.
Have you any idea what becomes of
the young people of such towns?"
"Not a glimmering."
"Then I'll enlighten your egregious
density. The boys—those who've got
the stuff in them—strike out for the
cities to make their everlasting for
tunes. Generally they do it too."
"The same as you?"
"The same as me," assented Kellogg,
unperturbed. "But the yaps, the Jas
pers, stay there and clerk in father's
store. After office hours they put on
their very best mail order clothes and
parade up and down Main street, talk
ing loud and flirting obviously with
the girls. The girls haven't much else
to do. They don't find it so easy to
get away. A few of 'em escape to
boarding schools and colleges, where
they meet and marry young men from
the cities, but the majority of them
have to stay at home and help mother.
That's a tradition. If there are two
children or more the boys get the
chance every time. The girls stay
borne to comfort the old folks in their
old age. Why, by the time they're old
enough to think of marrying—and they
begin young, for that's about the only
excitement they find available—you
won't find a small country town be
tween here and the Mississippi where
there aren't about four girls to every
boy."
"It's a horrible thought."
"You'd think so if you- knew what
the^boys were like. There Isn't one In

respect could force hersplf to marry

"1 do not. But go on drifting."
"No? Why. the demand for eligible

are twenty times as man.\ old maids in
small country towns as there are in

for it Is because when they were
young they couldn't lower themselves
to accept the pick of the local matri
monial market. Now, do you see?"
"You're as Interesting as a magazine

"You're an ass. Now take a young
chap from a city, with a good appear
ance, more or less a gentleman, who
doesn't talk like a yap or walk like
a yap or dross like a yap or act like
a yap. and throw him into such a town
long enough for the girls to get ac
quainted with him. ITe simply can't

"It's wonderful to listen to you. Har

"I'm talking horse sense, my son.
Now consider yourself—down on your
'luck, don't know how to earn a decent
living, refusing to accept anything
from your friends, ready (you say) to
do almost anything to get some mon

esses with plenty of money for

desuetude—hundreds of them, fine,
straight, good girls, girls you could
easily fall in love with, sighing their
lives away for the lack of the likes of
you. Now, why not take one, Nat—when
you come to consider it. it's your
duty—marry her and her bank roll,
make her happy, make yourself happy
and live a contented life on the sunny
side of Easy street for the rest of your

now
"Yes," Duncan admitted, half per
suaded of the plausibility of the
scheme. "I see, and admire im
mensely the intellect that couceived
the notion. Harry, but I can't help
thinking there must be a catch in it
somewhere."
"Not if you follow my instructions."
Duncan drew a deep breath, sat
back and looked Kellogg over very
critically.
"If I didn't know you so well. Har

tain you were mad. I'm not at all
sure that I'm sane. It's raving idiocy

"How about the game laws?"
"I'm coming to them. Of course

"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 matter, no time for guests.
But you needn't fret. They won't ask

look and laughed. "Your laundress

so you must be impeccable."
"I'll be even that, whatever it is."
"Be very particular about having
your shoos polished, shave daily and
manicure yourself religiously, but don't
let 'em catch you at it."
"Would they raid me if they did?"
"And then, my son, you must work."
Kellogg paused to let hisjesson sink
in. After a time Duncan observed
plaintively, "I knew there was a catch
in it somewhere. What kind of work?"
"It doesn't make any difference, so
long as you get and hold some job in
the town."
"Well, that lets me out. You'll have
to sic "some„other poor devil on this
glittering proposition of yours. I
couldn't hold a job in"—
"Wait! I'll tell you how to do it in
just a minute."
"I don't mind 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 mum
mer, and that's very necessary 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

Duncan laughed shortly and tilted
back in his chair, selecting another

Why didn't you ever let me suspect

"Imagination be* blowed, son. This

both glasses again. i'Weli, what do

"I've just said my say, Harry. It's

"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,,

The Piazza del Venetzia Is my fa
vorite abiding place when 1 am in
Rome.' The reason of this is that it is
the most stirring part of the Eternal
City. Above the piazza is the Oapi
toline hill, on which a state building is
being erected and from which extends
the Corso Uinberto, the main shopping
street of Rome. When there 1 make it
point every afternoon to go down
the Corso fo oue of the sidewalk res
taurants and drink Frascatti wine.
I was sitting one afternoon on the
sidewalk in the Piazza Colonna, just
off the Corso, when young officer
and young girl took a seat sit a table
near by. I speak and understand the
Italian language tolerably well, and it
was not* long before I caught the word
Americano. The man was talking
about the Americans who frequent
Rome in such large numbers, inveighr
ing against, the manner in which they
demoralize the tradespeople and serv
ants by their lavish expenditure of
money. Officers of the Italian army
are fronj ilie upper classes, and this
young man was of a refined type. The
girl he'wa with was of the same
class, tastefully dressed and pretty.
My admiration, was especially excited
by ber splendid hair, which was coiled
up in great rolls worthy of an-empress
of ancient Rome.
1
The lady was lamenting that her
family must remove from the home
they h.-ijl long occupied, owing to the
rise in rents. Sh«» was also telling her
compnnioti. who. 1 Judged, was Ins-commission
fiance, that she needed a sum of mon
«\v. without which some trouble or in
convenience would accrue. The young
.man was lamenting his inability to
furnish the a mount, having untiling
but his-pay in the army, which is small
enough indeed I could not but feel
the injustice of my having several
times the income 1 could spend, while
these poor young people were in des
perale straits for a few hundred
francs, and what disturbed me more,
was 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
leans 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 not 1 fear my mother will
die."
The very next day I met the same
young iady 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 I saw her turn into a
shop, in whose windows were wom
en's switches, wigs and cosmetics. I
could look through the glass aud see
the girl in conversation with the pro
prietor. She removed her hat and let
down her hair. It was the most mag
nificent display 1 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 1 am short of funds.
Come in at another time."
"Does the senorina wish to sell her
hair?" I asked. "My wife is looking
for a 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 I took
the proprietor aside, asked him what
the hair was worth and told him to
offer on my behalf double the amount.
It was accepted with delight, and thea
lady asked- when and where I would

Then I paid the whole amount of the
purchase money., The lady wentaw.ay
much pleased.
,1 left Rome the next day and
did+
riot 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 I own
ed. They were staring at me. Then
they arose and came toward rae."
"Senor." said the lady, "a year ago
you bought my bair 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
ed out a wife."
There must have been something in
my eye to give the lady a cue. for she
•railed.
"Your accent indicates," said the of
ficer, "that, you area foreigner."
"American."
The two looked at each other, then
at me. Then we all smiled together.
"I leave my possession in your care,"
I said, "till my wife wishes to use it."
I raised my hat and left them, they
evidently not knowing what to do. 1
have never seen them since.

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 bp known, and therefore
favor the creation of a nonpartisan
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
ing stand pat leaders, will vanish.-
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
crously illrgical method of comparison.
Look at comparative wage statistics in
any or all protection literature and you
will find that the time consumed in
production, and never the resulting
product, is the basis of comparison.
Because labor abroad gets,, say. a dol
lar a day, whereas American labor
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
peting foreign products are burdened
with a tariff high enough to' make up
for the lower wages abroad. This is
like saying that a freight car can't
compete 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.

4* Clover supplies humus and

these are essential to satisfac
tory plant growth. Clover is
so valuable a farm crop that
the Minnesota Experiment Sta
tion always suggests raising it
on new land, and growing it
regularly in rotation with
grain, corn, root crops and
potatoes. Aside from its ben
efits to the soil while grow
ing, it is the best roughage for
stock, and the manure result
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
beginning of the seventeenth century
whose name was Theodorie and who
is often mentioned in old plays. "H
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 1616. Th 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.

Webster's NEW INTERNATIONAL Dictionary,
(G. & C. Merriam Co., Springfield, Mass.)
surpasses the old International as much as that
book exceeded its predecessor. On the old
foundation anew superstructure has been built.
The reconstruction has been carried on through
many years by a large force of trained workers,
under the supervision of Dr. W. T. Harris,
former United States Commissioner of Educa
tion, and ree'nforced by many eminent special
ists. The definitions have been rearranged and
amplified. The number of terms defined has
been more than doubled. The etymology,
synonyms, pronunciation, have received un
sparing scholarly labor. The language of
English literature for over seven centuries, the
terminology of the arts and sciences, and the
every-day speech of street, shop, and house
hold, are presented with fullness and clearness.
In sixe of vocabulary, in richness of general
information, and in convenience of consulta
