When we opfln our port and have free wheat, as well s wool, we need not raise wheat hew at all, hut buy It of South America, where the farm laborer Is worth teu cau to a day.

What is the use of a farm laboror gel ting sixty cent a day when wo Villi get the Home work done for it lu Argentina for sixty cent a week. Free wheat may sfcrlko the farmer pret ty hard, Just a free wool strikes, the wool-raiser, but it is good democratic doctrine of "free raw materials."

United State Senator's Night EinbarasNiiieut. First Senator Sebastian, of Tennessee, tell this story: "When I was young I wus 4he most bashful boy west of the Alle ghanles. I wouldn't look at a girl, much less speak to a maiden; but for all that I fell desperately lu love with a sweet, beautiful neighbor girl. It was a desirable match on both sides, nd the old folks saw the drift nnd fixed Hup. I thought I should die just thinking ot R. I was gawky, awkward miiunirv Joit about 19 years old. She wa4iu .Intelligent, refined and fairly well buttoned girl, In a country and ut Uuma when the girls had superior dvntages.nd war, therefore, superl- or lu culture to the boys. I fixed the day a far off a 1 could have it put, I lay awake In cold perspiration as tha day drew near, and shivered with agony a I thought of the terrible odeal. The dreadful day Came. I went through with tha program so'nehow lo a duzed, confused, mechanical sort of a way. The guest one by one depart ed, and my hair begun hi stand on end. I felt Ilka fleeting to I he woods, pend Ing the night In the barn, leaving for the west never to ret urn. I wa deeply devoted to Halite. I loved her harder than a mule cno kick, but that dreadful ordeal! I could not, I dare uot stand It. Finally the lost guest was gone, tha bride retired, tha fumlly had gone hi bed, aud I was left with the old man 'John.' aald he, 'you cau take that candle, and you a lll find your room Just over this Com! night, mercy on your soul,' and with a mlschevlou twinkle of his eye, the old man left tha room. When I heard hhn close a din- taut dtsir, I staggarod lo my loct, aud seized the candle hi a nervous grip, kuew that It could not be avoided, and yet I hcwltated to meet my fate like man. A happy thought struck me. I hastily cllnik'd the stairs, marked the position of the landing, and the door of tha bridal chamber. I would have died before I would have dlsrolied In that holy chamber, where awaiting me was a trembling aud beautiful girl, I would make the ustiul preparation without, blow out the light, open tba door and friendly darkness would at least mitigate the horror of the altua tlon. It wa soon done. Preparations for retiring were few and simple in their character in Hickman, although consisting of disrobing.
