probable that our exports of manufac

continental countries will not be ns large
In the current fiscal year as they Were
last year. It IS possible, Also, that
England will take less of the products
of ouf mills and factories. In all those
countries the manufacturers are strug
gling to shut out, as far as possible,
American manufactures, and It is to be
expected that they will to some extent
accomplish this. As a matter of fact
the Industrial world Is today arrayed
against the United States and it is con
sequently a very serious question
whether we can hold all of the trade
we now have.
What we are, sure or, however, Is n

the agricultural products of the west.
Europe must continue to buy our bread-
stuffs nnd provisions nnd there Is every
probability that the demand for these
will grow from year to year. Most
European countries cannot produce food
stuffs to the extent of their needs. They
are compelled to import and nowhere
can they buy to better advantage than
In the United States. Our productive
cnpnclty Is far from being exhausted.

Iioston Transcript.
The natlonnl bankruptcy lsw, with the
amendments made by congress at the Inst
session, has now had time to prove Its
value as a working Instrument, and it Is
the opinion of the special officer bf the
Department of Justice. In Charge of this
service, thst as n result of Its operation
there will be a decrease In the number of
voluntary petitions in bankruptcy In the
future. In fact this prediction Is sup
ported by the returns of the federal courts
for the six months ending the. first of last
April. 1 ins aecresse 1 nxeiy t0 be em
phasised from now on unless lher should
be a panic or s period of unusual business
nepresmon. ur course there are reasons
for this and one of them Is that In ac
cordance with one of the amendments re
ferred to a person may not he adjudged a
bankrupt If within six years he has re
ceived a dlschsrge upon a voluntary petl
tlon In bankruptcy. This. Is a marked
discouragement to that class of men who
make bankruptcy a factor of their busi
ness calculations. It compels caution and
handicaps dishonesty. It will be remem
bered that another amendment .-evened
the order of the original bill whereby cred
itors who bad received payments on ac
count were required to surrender these
amounts before they were permitted to
prove the balance of their clslms. This fre
quently caused confusion and embarrass
ment. Now, when a payment on account
has been honestly received, without knowl
edge of the debtor's insolvency, It csn be
retained without affecting the creditor's
rights to an equal share with other credi
tors. The measure seems to he at least
reduced to a practical working basis which
will benefit legitimate business generally.

The captain casually inquired
If so and so had yet transpired
And whether, too. beyond a doubt.
His program had been carried out.
The first lieutenant raised his head
"I gave the order, sir,' he said,
Denoting he had done his share
In that ns yet undone affair.
The officer who paced the deck
Bweet meditation seemed to check
"I gave the order," was his claim,
"The boatswain must have been to blame.
The boats'n, sore with wounded pride.
Forthwith respectfully replied:
"I passed the word-that boats'fi s mate
Ain't worth his salt-he's always late.
The boatswain's mato looked much abused
To Be so wrongfully accused:
"I nasaed the word," he answered 0.ulck
"That coxswain must have gotten sick.
The coxswain, looking daggers at
The other, roughly touched his hat
And said: "1 passed It-sure 1 .i"i,
Them boys ain't worth a tinkers dam!
The stroke oar said he "told the bow
To tell the others-anyhow;
The others took a higher ground
And swore they hadn't heard a sound!
And so It happened, plain as day.
When everyone had had his say,
That all were like In seal Intense
And each had shown his innocence. .
The captain let his blessings fall
Impartially on ono and all.
AnS mingled with his strong Conv
A sulphuretted benediction!
The morsl of this endless chain
Is Instantaneously plain
just give the order look astute
Then nothing more-don t execute!
Don't budge or atlr-don't turn titi
To get the gear or whaleboat manned,
Re firm and senJously avow,

'One could easily bear to be poor, one
could even bear to take his wife and
children down with him to poverty, so
long ns he could be with tliem to help
them carry the load and carry the
heaviest part himself. Hut to go off to

down into poverty and fight' the wolf

terrible than this "to look forward to."
