1* D, C„ Feb, H—Isn’t
time that someone arose to
champion the interests of the farm-
er and the fruitgrower?
In iimes past we haye seen states-
men and editors too, for that matter,
deeply concerned for the protection
oa the mechanic and the artisan;
but has the farmer ever got what
was coming to him? And by farm-
er let us understand here everyone
who makes bis living by tilling the
soil, whether be cultivate beans or
or wheat or apples or corn, or ex
presses the juice of the apple or
grape for use as a beverage.
For that matter eyery farmer, in
tho restricted sense, should be a
fruitgrower as well, and even more
should he he a fruit consumer; for
has not the great and beneficent Dr.
Wiley said: “Eat oranges; eat them
everyday!” Which being interpret-
ed into the vernacular means really,
eat fruit. You can’t always get or-
i—* —-anges and while the value of or-
anges and lemons cannot be denied,
it is also conducive to health to cat
apples, pears, peaches, prunes, apri-
cots—in short such fruit as the mar-
ket affords. The more that people
eat of fruit the better it will be for
the Nation. It will save doctors’
bills, prolong life, and make you
cheerful, though married. Dr. Wiley
says so, and no one knows better
than be.
The growth of the fruit interests
may be fairly said to be one of the
Iteast- marvels of the age. Once it was
rare to see any fruit trees growing
on a farm, except perhaps wild ones.
Now it’s a poor farmer that fails to
grow some fruit. Look at our apple
crop. The valley of the Shenandoah
supplied the table of Queen Victoria
with apples. The products of our
orchards not only feed the millions
of people under the Stars and Stripes
but they supply, in part at least, the
markets of the world and every year
they are growing in demand abroad.
Look at the pears, and peaches, and
grapes, and raisins, and English
walnuts, other fruit products, tak-

tried last summer to give him a
farmers’ free list, so-called, and
then by a strange freak of reason-
ing it started to put his own pro-
ducts on the free list also by adding
lemons to the list, and if it had been
successful there one can’t say where
it would have ended. Whatever
free traders may believe, the tariff
on oranges has resulted in driving
the foreign orange from the Ameri-
can market, and with protection the
lemon growers are now supplying
one-half of the home market and
they will be able to supply the other
half if they are allowed reasonable
protection. In both cases, prices
have declined as the industry has
grown. Florida, Louisiana, Texas,
Arizona, California and other States
now grow oranges. California grows
lemons, and it has the peculiar
climate and soil to permit it to grow
more. If the supply be limited by
discouraging citrus culture in this
country, can even an amateur politi-
cal economist reason that the tariff
should be lowered? Why, ask the
growers, should an industry be en-
couraged to the extent that it can
supply one-half of the demand, only
to be cast out entirely just as it has
demonstrated its r i g h t to live?
Should the active competition of
American growers be withdrawn,
could it be expected that the inter-
ests which thereby would gain a mo-
nopoly of the market would make
the price lower than it was when
competition existed?
Honestly now, has the farmer
been treated fairly by Congress?
Does it pay to trample on the in-
terests Of the agrarian classes?
Why has the farmer been attracted
by greqnbackism, by populism, by
socialism, by bimetallism, by pro-
gressivism?
If you reduce the tariff on things
the farmer produces, then be con-
sistent, if you believe in free trade,
reduce it on the things he has
of the statesmen from
say, if there must be a
e need the revenue to
the Nation’s bills, why

“Too much lore Allis many babies”
is the opinion of Mrs. Mary Ilines, for
years matron of (lie Sunnyside day
nursery in Boston. ‘‘There is too much
kissing, fondling and caressing," con-
tinued the matron. "Babies are nut
any happier when coddled by mothers
or neighbors. In fact, it makes mauy
of them miserable. I have known a
number to pine away and die from too
much physionl affection Take your-
self for an example. When not feeling
well would you rtrthcr 11c by yourself
on a couch or be cluae up against some
one? Well, that is the baby’s feeling
exactly unless his constant handling
has made him prefer it.
“Kissing is bad for children, because
it might give them serious disease,
and it certainly does no good. If
mothers would consider that a buby
has rights the same us a grown per-
son (hoie would bo fewer sick babies
and much of this harmful affection
w'ould be abandoned.
“The lore of many mothers seems to
be wholly to gratify the whims of the
child, which is not a sane love. It is
really true in my ‘ experience that
where there is a large family of chil-
dren the individual child is stronger
and healthier."
"Is that because only the fittest sur-
vive?" was asked.
“Not nt all," replied the matron. "It
is simply because each child does not
get so much attention and therefore
Is not weakened by an excess of affee
tion. It learns to stand up for itself."

A Scheme That Enabled Two to Ride
on One Ticket.
There were two comedians who had
bee^ stuck in a village near Canton,
with Cleveland many a mile away.
And the first comedian, being the more
witty of the two and being, further-
more, what they call the “feeder" of
the team, says he:
“What'll we do uoaI?"
“I’ll tell you-let’s count the house.”
They emptied their pockets and
found that by squeezing a cent or two
they could manage to buy a ticket to
Cleveland—one ticket They did it and
started forth, the two grown men, on
a single piece of pasteboard. Of course
the conductor kicked.
“There’s only one ticket here,” be
growled.
“That’s mine,” said one of the actors.
“You lie—it’s mine,” put in the other
politely.
“Well, you can’t both ride on one
ticket,’’ said the conductor. “I’ll have
to put one of you off the train.”
“Me—me!” squealed the actors in
chorus. “Put me off—go ahead and do
it—I spoke first.”
“Well, I can’t do It here, but one of
you must got off at the next station."
But three local stations passed, and
the conductor dkfrUt come back. As a
matter of fact, be never appeared until
Just before Cleveland was reached.
“I think somebody’s a grafter." he
remarked in passing, “but my orders
are to take the safe side when therc’3
a possibility of mistake. Good night
I can lick either ope of you if I ever
see you againl^gtev^and ^feln Peaj-
The Small Boy and Hia Hat.
He flings his hat across tho dining
room when he comeB in from school or
leaves it In all manner of places in the
house, in the coal bin or on sister’s
bureau. He loses it Just at church
•time and spoils the spirit of family
reverence and piety. As the fumily
enters the church the anthem is being
sung, and the disgrace of being late
again is laid on the innocent head-
piece clutched in the hand of the
small boy who has already forgotten
the confusion of which he was the
cause twenty minutes ago. In this
stage also one’s hat is removed on the
way to school by the hand of one’s
bosom friend, passed down the line of
surrounding boon companions, stuffed
into others’ pockets, while dire
thoughts of ultimate loss hold one in
their grip, and the reckoning to bo
paid at home wraps the world in trag-
edy.—George L. Parker In Atlantic.
Reade Wrote Standing.
One peculiar fad with regard to his
writing Charles Reade shared with
other famous novelists—he could not
remain seated at a table, but did his
work standing at a high desk. This
was characteristic also of Victor Hugo,
who wrote the whole of “Les Misera-
bles” standing. Wilkie Collins, too,
declared that his thoughts flowed more
freely when standing on his feet. In
direct contrast, one recalls that Mark
Twain did much of his work propped
up in bed and that Sir Walter Scott
found his brain clearest when reclin-
ing comfortably on a couch.—London
Chronicle.
Making a Good Start.
"You may joke about women’s con-
ventions, but l think women are pretty
wise. Now, my wife's club appointed
a committee to study economy in
dress.
“Well.”
“They started out by going to a mu-
sical comedy.’’—Washington Herald.
Tho Batter Way.
"It is better to trust and be deceived
than to be suspicious of everybody.’’
“Yes, but it is just'as well as a rule
to keep your bank account in your
wife’s name if you are going to do
any widespread trusting.” — Chicago
Record Herald.
Though flattery blossoms like friend
ship, yet there is a great difference in
the fruit.—Socrates.

At Both Ends
of the’Phone
Bj ELLA RANDALL PEARCE j
Bir-r-r-r-r! Miss Gertrude Macken-
zie, tiny, trim and brisk In manner,
picked up the telephone receiver and
answered the summons over the wire
with a clear, crisp “Hello-yes.” Then,
with a change of tone, "Who is this,
please? Who—for goodness’ sake—
Janice!’
The single occupant of the outside
office, separated from the inside one
where Miss Mackenzie sat by an oak
railing and gateway, fairly Jumped as
the name left the speaker’s lips. He
Was a young uiau of prepossessing ap-
pearance, very dark, with bright blue
eyes, and a lofty, abstracted air that
would have seemed somewhat amus-
ing in one les. distinguished looking.
He had paid no attention to the young
woman until that single ejaculation
fell upon his ear. .Tanlcel Why
should he think of her? Was there
only one Janice in the world? It was
an odd name, to be sure, and perhaps
—then he found himself listening
eagerly to one side of the conversa-
tion, as he sat back and unfolded a
newspaper before his face.
“Janice, well, I am surnrise! Oh,
flue, but I thought you were—What!
didn’t you marry him after all? But
I thought that was what you went to
London for, I no* or got the ’otter
no, indeed. Ye-e-s, but I can’t tell you
now. Can’t you come up to the house
Boon?”
The young man outside shifted un-
easily in his seat, and peered around
a corner of his paper. Miss Macken-
zie had lowered her voice, and her
words reached him indistinctly—and
he was growing anxious. Janice—
London—to be married? It began to
sound like a familiar story to him.
The girl’s laughter rippled guarded-
ly across the office. “I don’t believe
it. How about the one you met at
Atlantic City and raved about all last
winter?” she said, teasingly.
Atlantic City! That was where ho
bad men Janice Ford, Just about one
year ago. Surely it was she—his old
sweetheart of a brief, beautiful ro-
mance by the sea, who now was speak-
ing at the other end of the ’phone.
If he could but see her—speak to her
again!
Then came his companion’s crisp
tones. “Oh, I’d love to, but not to-
day. I’ve had a ‘quick lunch’ already,
for I expect Mr. Hadley in at any mo-
ment. Where are you now? At the
Mayfair—oh!”
A heavy scrambling noise in the
outer office and the loud slamming of
the door, proclaimed the sudden flight
of the late solitary occupant.^
"Nothing’s the matter, Janice,” an-
swered Miss Mackenzie. “Only there
was a splendid-looking chap sitting
here waiting for Mr. Hadley, and he’s
Just thrown over a few chairs and
bolted, taking the door with him.
Well, now I want to tell you some-
thing.”
She launched into a recital of her
own personal affairs, thereby, if she
had but known it, doing a certain
young man a great favor; for the
“splendid-looking chap” was making
the best possible time In covering the
space between the office building out
of which he had rushed and the hos-
telry called the Mayfair.
Of course it was his—that is, the
same Janice, and she was not mar-
ried. Perhaps she had quite forgot-
ten him by this time, but he would
like to know. And, if he were to lose
her now—well, of course he could see
Miss Mackenzie. Bnt Janice might
hear nf it, and take flight again. Be-
sides he wanted to see her—oh, how
he longed to see her! He had tried
to forget her, and probably would
have succeeded if she had remained
In London and married the wealthy
Englishman who had won her from
him with his dazzling fortune. Why
had she not married Cuthbert Castle?
He knew that such had been her in-
tention when she had sailed from
New York with her sister-in-law, who
had really planned and carried out
the affairs of the “brilliaut match.”
Why had Janice changed her mind?
Quite breathless was the young
man who hurried into the corridor of
tho Mayfair an.! Iswdcod nnvlmialy
I along the line of telephone booths
ranged across one side of the reading
room. white feathers—large rosy
face underneath; next, big, oversha-
dowing black hat brim—sharp nose In
view; ah! quaint little straw bonnet
with a perky lace bow, a fluff of am-
ber hair, a soft, pink cheek, sweeping
brown lashes—Janice! She was JuRt
rising from her Beat in the booth
when he caught sight of her; and he
hastened down tho other side of the
room, out into the corrldot*! while Bhe
adjusted her scarf and veil.
Tall, calm, and with a lofty, ab-
stracted air, stood a dark young man
near the Mayfair entrance, aB Janice
Ford tripped along, quite unsuspect-
ingly. Then, with a start, she recog-
nized the figure ahead, hesitated as if
about to turn aside, approached with
heightened color, and averting her
face, would have gone by; but he met
her Bquarely, face to face, extending a
welcoming hand.
“Is it possible!” he said cordially.
"Yon have nearly taken my breath
away, Mrs.—or—Castle. la that
right?”
Janice nodded her head, and fussed
with her scarf.
“Your memory is all right, Mr. Dil-
lingham,” she said, with nervous ani-
mation, not seeking to correct his er-
ror.
^ His bright blue eyes were search-
ing her Jiushed face, but he main-
tained his Indifferent air. How love-
ly she looked—lovelier than ever!
“Are you sight-seeing in America?”!
he asked politely. “Or did you get-
homesick?”
“Neither,** on.llo.tl Janice. “My—
husband had oomo business here, and
“Then you intend to return to Lon-
don, soon?”
“Yes—yes, next week.”
“Then,” said Dillingham, in slew,
deliberate toneB, “may I not have the
pleasure of your company at lunch-
eon—once more before you go? To-
day?”
The girl’s eyes met his.
“We parted in rather unfriendly
fashion before, you know,” went on
the low tones. “Let us wipe out the
memory of that last hour by a pleas-
ant one—here.”
“I—I have an engagement for
lunch. I--•”
Dillingham caught her elbow In the
hollow of a firm hand. His eyes were
hlszlng then as they looked at her,
blazing with fascinating blue names.
“Janice, look at me. You have no
engagement—you have no husband. I
know—and more than this I know. I
was in Mr. Hadley’s office while you
were telephoning.”
“Oh!”
“Yes, and you have shown me, now
—that you—Janice!”
"Please, Ellis, don’t look at me like
„.ere/L^wlilgpered Janice. “Ev-
erybody’s looklug aU us. You’riT very
mysterious and very impertinent, but
I’ll go somewhere and listen to you—
if you won’t look at me as if you
meant to eat me.”
"It’s eating time,” said Dillingham,
falling into an easy stride beside her
as they walked along the corridor to-
gether. Janice drew him into the
reading room.
“I want to ’phone to Gertrude,” she
said. “Come with me; you shall
hear."
They crowded into the little booth,
looking happily into each other’s eyes.
Bir-r-r-r! Miss Mackenzie caught
up the receiver again. A soft famil-
iar voice, came over the wire, with a
new Intense vibration in its tones.
“Gertrude, are you too busy to lis-
ten? That splendid chap who ran out
of your o(Bc* is my Atlantic City
friend—yes, he’s her now. And you
were quite right. That’s why I didn’t
stay in London and marry the Castle
millions. But I didn’t suppose he’d
ever, ever forgive me. And I’m so
glad. That’s all, now—good-by. Wait
a minute, he wants to speak to you.”
Then, from the other end of the
’phone, came deep, full masculine
tones, deliberately distinct. “Will you
kindly lell Mr. Hadley that Mr. Ellis
Dillingham will call at his office to-
morrow morning? Thank you—and—
bless you, Miss GeVtrude Mackenzie.’
African Wireless Telegraphy.
Writing from German Africa, s
European tourist Bays: “We found
here in the dense forest, among peo
pie who know nothing of modern
scientific discoveries or of time and
labor-saving invention, a good and
practical wireless telephone. The na-
tives have for purposes of ceremony,
peaceful and warlike, drums of vari-
ous dimensions made of wood, and
these, when beaten, emit sounds oi
about an octave in range. Aside from
lire ceremonies the drums are used
also as means of communication, and
the manner of striking, the number of
strokes, the pauses, etc, make up
words and sentences which are read-
"ily understood for miles around. We
had a proof of it one day. Our cara-
van was ready to start when our head
servant, stopped suddenly in his work,
listened intently and then gave un-
mistakable signs of pleasure. We
learned later that the indistinct
sounds conveyed to him the news that
a boy had been born to his brother In
a neighboring village.”
