Coming in with the now yrar 1912 , a year in which the Demo cratic hosts confidently expect to elect a president and march iiito the promised hurl , J.he Jackson day banquet in Washington Jan. 8 , marks a triumph in the ascend ency of the Dwrnocracv that lias not been signified in any similar gathering in many years. With an array of leaders at the banquet board such as the part.i has not boasted of for perhaps n. half a century , with Too promi nent party men present from far and wide torrid importance a"nd brilliance this coupled with ihe knowledge of all that- the enemy i- hopelo.is'y divided and dumb founded , makes the Jackson du\ gathering an auspicious occasion to every democrat.

High pror ! cl.i"ni-ts ; alway- ad dress their appeals to farmers and workingrnen. "High tariff , ' ' they argue , "means high prices for farm products and high wages for i the workers. " Last year 145,000 American j farmer ? , all of whom were sup- po ed'to be enjoying the fruits of a high tariff , left this country and went to Canada. In the same period approximately a million Kborerf. camp to this country from ' abroad , 81 per cent of them com- : lag from- the south of Europe , where wages are low , education almost nothing , and standards of hving primitive and filthy. These laborers are taken in by the trusts at wages but little better than they got at horn0 , and under conditions of employment unthinkable to American workingmen. Thus the high tariff drives out good Ameri can farmers , and brings in what ? The rccipn-ciiy act passed last summer provided for the removal isi part , , of the duty on paper im ported from Canada. This pro vision did not require Canada's endorsement. Since then more than SO independent paper corn- punier have started business in opposition to the paper trust. Notwithstanding the reciprocity act , with the single exception of the paper provision , became dead aiul defunct when Canada declined to accept ir. Senator ileyburn has introduced a bill for the repeal of the whole act. Were this bill to pass unamended it not only would uselessly repeal an inoperative : ut but would put the duty back on pape.r.

Each thought of all fishermen he was the best Each thought of the fish he'd bring bacli ' to the to\vr. . For men will fish , and women must wait. Though the bait bo good and they stay out late. | Then ho for the calm wateis lying ! Three fishers came wandering back to the tov.-n , r Back 'home to the town in the morning light. Each one , disappointed \ wearing a. frojyn , ' For they haven't caught any. though one had u. bite. And the few that they carry of boys hav been bought. But think of the big ones they all might have caught And hark to the three fishers lying ! Walter G. Doty in Fuclc. No Room For Dcubt. The afternoon was warm , holidays were approaching , and the teacher was almost worn out in trying to drum the elemeutj c3 grammar into the wooden crnuiucis of her pupils. "Now. Johnny , " .she said wearily , "tell me , would it be proper for you to say 'You can't learn me nothing ? ' " Johnny looked thoughtful for a mo ment and then replied in a tone of conviction : "Yes , mum. " The teacher sighed. "Why. Johnny ? ' ' she asked. "Tell me why. " "And now the ans'wer came quick and pat ; ' 'Cause yer can't , " said Johnny tri umphant ly. London Answers. Nature ! History. "I don't suppose , " remarked Gregg Hallo way , grinning ruefully , "that I'll ever have the nerve to call my son down ; again. " "What went wrong ? " we asked hia' . "It was this way. We were invited out , and the kid exhibited his worst table manners. I leaned over to him and whispered in a stage whisper You're a little pig ! ' "The kid just grinned. " 'Do you hear ? ' I hissed. 'You are a little pig ! Do. you have sense enough to know what a little pig is ? ' " 'Yes , napa , ' answered the child , trying to look Innocent. " 'Well , then , what is it ?

Some women are a delight to the eye and a dv to the mind. Never tell a grass vddow that she -is in the heyday of life. If .voman's age counts against her she knows enough lo keep down the count. The girl who marries for a lark often finds out that the was a jay. The idea of marrying will haunt : i woman if she has the ghost of a chance. Girls feel proud of having many new admirers , but one old one is real ly more to her credit. Boston Tran script. Prepared For ihcr Warst.
