The Tariff Mission to Berlin.
It is not likely that congress
vill take action ( luring the pres
ent session on the tariff with
Germany. The tariff commis
sioners to Berlin arc expected
ionic boon and there ib consiclcr-
ible interest in the result of their
efforts. It is given out at Wash-
ugton that there are difficulties
n the way in Germany which can
lardly be overcome. Chief among
these is the question of meat inspection
spectionIf , to illustrate , a con
signment of American meat has
been inspected in Germany in ad-
lition to its American inspection ,
nud it is then shipped to another
town , it is reinspectcd , and this
is repeated if again shipped to
mother town , and so on. Thus ,
in an actual case , an importer
sold to a warehouse merchant ,
who sold to a smoker .of meatf
who sold to a retailer. In each
transfer an inspection was made
at double the fee charged for Ger
man meats.
The Germans insists that Amer
ican pork is more likely to com
municate trichinosis than is Ger
man pork. The Germans do not
cook their pork as thoroughly as
Americans do. The above does
not apply to fresh beef and othei
fresh meats , but here political
influence conies in with a scare
about Texas fe\u' .
Taking into account the actual
prohibition of the importation of
certain meats and the severity ol
inspection to which others are
subjected it is claimed that the
most hopeful source for the in
crease of American exports to
Germany in the provision line is
live cattle. If the commissioner ?
can succeed in haying the Ameri
can inspection of live animals ac
cepted in lieu of German inspec
tion it will be as much as is ex
pected at Washington. If they
can secure a modification of tlu
import inspection of American
meat food products in the glight
est degree they will surpass ex
pectations. As to shipments ol
American fruit , since no Ameri
can inspection is required , nc
charge is looked for unless the
Germans can be shown that tin
need of it is more fancied that ;

" 1 simply must make that
train , " said Nan. " 1 must get
home.1
Bert looked at his uiothur. She
made a helpless gesture.
"I don't see how it can be
done , my dear Nan , " she said
weakly. "Both of the horses
have gone lame , the livery has
no horse in , and the expressman
cannot come for your trunk un
til this afternoon. "
"Can't we beg , borrow or buy
a rig ? " she demanded briskly ,
"Surely every horse and cart in
Pleasantville is not engaged. ' '
" [ ' have to
guess you'll stay
over until tomorrow , ' ' said Bert
blandly. "I can get a horse by
then. "
"I'm going to get one right
away , " she said decidedly. "I
promised Nell Taylor when we
were at school that I would be
icr bridesmaid and , I'm going
to. "
Mrs. Montrose stared. "My
dear Nan'she , said coldly , "I
lope you will do nothing to
excite comment. "
Nan stared. She had told
them a week ago that she must
leave on Thursday , and they had
made no move toward looking
after her departure. Now that
she had been forced to lake the
matter into her own hands this
placid remark irritated her.
"I am going to get that trunk
to the train if I have to hire a
circus parade"she said spirited
ly as she darted out of the door.
Mrs. Montrose held up her
hands in placid horror. "My
dear Bert , " she saidit , is
almost fortunate that the girl
will not have you. "
"Nothing ol the sort , " was the
brutal response. " 1 need the
money , and you know I do. 11
you hadn't made that row about
her riding Dvvight's horse 5
would have been all right. , '
was hoping if I forgot about
the baggage she might stay on
and 1 could patch it up. "
"Well , let up hope that the
girl does not entirely disgrace
us , ' ' was the wailing rejoiner as
Mrs. Montrose went into the
parlor , ivhere she could com
mand a view of the street.
Nan Udell had been a thorn it
her llesh ever since she hat
come from the west for a visit
Her father and the late John
Montrose had been mining part
ners in the early days. Each had
made his strike , and when Nan
and Uert were born it was agreed
that they were to marry when
they should be old enough. Nan
had come visiting with the im
plied understanding that they
were to wed , but Bert had soon
disgusted her , while there had
been numerous conllicts between
herself and Mrs. Montrose , whc
was perpetually shocked at her
breexy western manner.
She administered the lasl
shock when she presently drove
up to the house on the seat ol
f an express wagon , talking to tin.
driver. She sprang to the ground
before he could descend am'
assist her and ran up the steps
"All right"sins ! cried as shi
threw open the door. "Please
let .John help the man with tlu

"Hut how are you going toycl

, "I'll ride with the man , " &ai (
t Nan. "He said T might. I

She turned and Hew down tin
steps after the man and with
spring was back on the seat be
side him.
"II you're in a hurry , " sin
said contentedly as he touchei
the team will ) the whip , "the enl ;
way is to do a thing yourself. "
"You seem quite capable o
looking after tilings yourself , '
he laughed. "I fancy you shock
ed Mrs , Montrose. She is s
eminently proper ! "
"I'm sorry"shesaid penitent
ly , "but I just had to get home ,
and they knew it. I'm glad I
tonnd you. "
"So am 1 , " he laughed.
"You ought to be out west , "
she said , with a comprehensive
gaxe that was not impertinent
because it was so frank. "Von
are more the type of a western
man. They don't have a lot of
men of your type here.1
The driver Hushed. "We have
them."hesaid quietly , ' -but I
guess they don't travel in the
Plcasantvillc set. " lie laughed
as he though I of the snobbish
social circle of Ihe liltle suburb
where even the trolley was bar
red. Nan read his thoughts and
laughed in sympathy. Her visit
had not been pleasant.
She chatted on as they sped
tlong. The man was singularly
nlelligent for a workman , and
she enjoyed his chat as she did
: he presence of a real man after
six weeks with the pale voulhs
who couslitnted the male ele-
nent of Pleasantville society.
She was almost sorry when they
reached the town and drove up
to the station.
The driver ushered her into
the waiting room , purchased her
ticket and sleeper , checked her
trunks and finally came toward
her. "Here is what I had to
pay out , " he said offering a
neat memorandum. "This is the
change. "
She glanced'at the coins and
smiled.
"That's the last of my green
backs1 she laughed. "Now I'll
gel gold again. 1 like it lots
better. "
"We don't take to it on here , "
he smiled.
"I3ul I've gel to give you one , "
she said. " 1 have no more
bills. "
She held out a live dollar gold
piece , and after a pause his hand
closed over it. "Thank you , "
he said. ' 'But you would have
been welcome to my services. I
hope you have a pleasant trip. "
"That's a real goodby , " she
said impulsively , remembering
the frigid farewell at the house.
"Will you shake hands ? "
His hand closed over hers with
a pressure that almost crushed
it ; then , with a bow , he turned
and left the room , while she
settled herself for the hour wait.
Nan was in time to be a brides
maid and when she had written
a long account to Mrs. .Montrose
she sought to put thoughts of
Pleasantville out of her mind.

Stock Dead in the Ice.
Reports of damage to stock on
river bottoms arc coming in. Just
previous to the blast from Boreas ,
which sent the mercury to the
bottom of the tube , the bottoms
were Hooded by heavy rains up
the country to a depth of front
four to eight feet. Cattle and
other stock were hurried to the
highlands , but in some cases the
fn.vxe came on so rapidly that
tla-v were caught in the open.
John Shockey , a farmer on Salt
River , lost twelve head of steers ,
and many of his neighbors suf
fered as severely. Shockey ob
served his stock standing straight
up out in the ice , and with his
men luuricd to them , but every
one was dead ar.tl froxcn stiff.
Six head of horses belonging to
Joseph Abrams , on liast Fork
Uotloms , were caught by the
flood in a large fenced pasture ,
As the waters rose the horses
moved to the higher ground ,
where further progress was
blocked by a strong wire fence ,
There they stood at bay while
the water rose clear to their
bodies. Then the wind shifted
and inside of twenty-four honrh
they were tightly imprisoned in
an ice mound from two and one-
half to three inches thick. Ab-
r.tm'h men had to cut through a
nille of ice to release the half-
fn > : ; eti animals. They were taken
to H hay stack , which they at
tacked like famished wolves. The
l ; j > of the horses were swollen
as large as a man's body , but
none died. They had been stand
ing in water four days and in ice
twenty-four hours.
