"I am sorry to Kay, Blake, that I am under the impression that you will lose that case," sail Dod worth to me as Le entered my store and took a seat. Pod worth is not only my lawyer, but also my trusted friend. We sat side by side in the town school and graduated from Princeton the same year. The case he referred to w as one of long standing between myself and a shoe man ufacturer named Fairfax. Some six months before Fairfax had supplied me with a hirpe quantity of uppers of an in ferior grade from those which I had or dered, and now he was trying to make me pay for them. I had demanded a re duction on the invoice price from Fair fax one day w hen I met him on the street, and to this he had made an oral agreement, but now he demurred and in tended to sue for the full amount "But I can prove that he agreed to a reduction of 15 per cent," I replied rath er nettled to find that my friend did not think I had a clear case. "How can you prove it?" he aked dryly. Vhy, he said so himself, at all events." "That is no proof. If about it in court he will. yon tax him of course, say you are entirely mUtAken,and there yoa are. If there was some outside party witness to the bargain." "There was." "Who was it?" Ah, that was the truth. Fiver since I had defied Fairfax to go to law and col lect the bill I had been trying to think of the gentleman who had been with me on that occasion. It was some one I did not know very well, and I had forgotten him within the hour, and now try my best I could not recall either his face or his name. If yoa can tell me who this party is I will call on him and see if he recollects the matter," went on my friend. "If he does you are safe, if not your case goes to pieces." "Fairfax must know him," I replied. "That isn't the point Do you know him?" "Yes ; but I can't recall him now." "Well, try yonr best to do so during the d.iy. I will call again Lite this after noon." With these words Pjdworth passed out of the place, leaving me very ba?y with my thoughts. I had a mass of figuring to do that day, but I cast it ail aside, and did my best to follow his instructions. F.ut though I smoked up half a dcaen cigars and near ly etared the plaster off the ceiling, I ar rived at no satisfactory conclusion, Once or twice I fancied I had the name of the witness on my tongue's end, but it slipped back before I could utter it Finually I threw away three-quarters of the last cigar and turned to my work, resolved to lose half a dozen cases rath er than to thiak mvself into an insane asylum. Pod worth came back at 5 o'clock and asked what luck. "None," I replied. "I couldn't think of that man's name if my life depended on it." "Then you had belter pay up and have the case quashed." ".Sot a Lit of it," I said stubbornly, want vou to th-lit him all you can. Put him under the closest cross-examination you can devise." "Oh, of course 111 do that, if you in sist on going ahead. I only want you to be prepared for defeat, if it comes." "I will be." "I've got another plan," he went on, rubbing his chin slowly. "Suppose you put a personal in all of the leading papers. The witness may possibly see it" I shook my head. I was under .the im- predion that tlie witness was a business man himself, andifao.it was not very likely that he was in the habit of perus ing the personal column of a newspaper. "Well, suit yourself," said Dodworth, shrugging his shoulders. "I only thought you wanted to do all that could be done.' " WelL go ahead and write out the p r- sonals," I returned, simply to pleaee him. Writing up the advertisement was no essy matter. Both of us tried our bands at it and made a number of failures be fore we produced the following. Witness Wanted. Will the gentleman who overheard a certain business trans action concerning a reduction in the in voice price of a quantity of upper3 kind ly communicate with "Dealer," this otlice? "Fairfax may see that and then he will know just how weak we are," said I, when the writing was finished. "That is t-ne." replied Dodworth, "but there is nothing else to do, and it is your last hope." "When shall we insert them?" "Have your boy take them to the dif ferent offices at once, then they will ap pear in to-morrow's issues." I did as he advised. Late on the following day I had re ceived two replies one from a paper in which the personal had not been insert ed, advising me to try its columns, and one from a private detective, who was willing to work up the case for a proper fee. I paid no attention to either of these letters. At the same true I was served with a notice to the effect that the case would come up in the regular county court held in an adjoining town on the following Tuesday. "I suppose Ian in iVr it, I said to Dodworth. "I'm afraid yoa are, Blake. You'd have been better off if yoa had taken1 EST A RTTHTTRT 1837. my advise in the Srst place. However, I will do the best I can for you." "I know you will. I want you to let every one know that the reason I don't pay the bill is because I think Fairfax a swindler." "Ill make it hot for him," laughed my friend. But for all this the outcome of the matter worried me not a little. It was not because I would have to pay several hundred dollars if I lost the case, but it was having a judgment rendered airainst me. Ibis is something every true busi ness man hates to have occur. I passed Saturday and Sunday in a maet u? comfortable frame of mind. On the latter day I went U church with my wife, but all throng a the service I could not help trying to think of the name or face of the witness that was wanted to save me. Then I endeavored to run alphabeti cally through a list of ray friends, and following this up by thinking firat of all the brown-headed men I knew, fhen the black-headed and finally the bald-headed. Bat it was all to no purpose, and 1 gave a groan that made my wife think I was asleep and she gave me a nudge in the ribs to awaken me. "I've got to go to Uaaiatone to-day," said Podworth, as he entered my store early Monday morning, "and I won't be able to see you again before the trial. But that doesn't matter,- for I've got the whole thing laid out as far as it will go. Beture and meet me at the Liberty court house at C o'clock to-morrow morning. I promised that I would. "And if you can find that witness bring him along," he added as be went out of the door. I promised this also. But there was no use trying to think who the man was. It was worse than chasing a phantom, and by night I was half inclined to think that I was mis taken and there had not been any wit ns at all. "Well, how about that case of yours and Fairfax's?" asked my wife that eve ning. "I am afraid I am going to lose it" I replied. "Lose it !" she exclaimed. "I thought you were perfectly sure of winning." "I would be if it wasn't that I cannot for the life of me think of a certain wit ness's name. "Did you know the witness 7" "Quite well." "And you can't think of his name?" "Not the first letter. "Then why. don't yoa go to him and ask what it is?" "I wou?d if I coull remember who he was." My wife pursed up her lip? and smiled coldly. "Seems to me I could think ofa per son's name if it war ii important as all this." the said. I did not have any doubts but what she could. But then women are vastly different from men. I passed a restless night I dreamed that I was in the court room, and the case was in full sway. Fairfax was hav ing everything his own way, and the jurors were looking at me with clouded brows and doubtful shakes of their Leads Evidently I was judged to be a close business mau, who was trying his best to squeeze out of an honest debt. "And so yoa say there was a witness to this transaction?" I dreamed F" air fax's lawyer said. "Who was it?" It was only for a second that I hesi tated. Then I answered in a plain matter, of fact of tone : "Mr. George Ardell." "Who is he?" "A shoe dealer of Ham-it ne." "Is he here?" He is here." And with this I dreamed Mr. Ardcll stepped forward and put in hu evidence, and after this the case was all in my fa vor, for Fairfax hadn't a leg left to stand on. And then I dreamed how thankful I was tliat my memory had served me so well, and what a fool I thought I bad been to Lave forgotten at all, anil a good deal more similar stuff, until I awoke with a start and found myself sitting up right in bed, with my wife wide awake beside me. "For gracious sake, John what is the matter ?" she cried. "I've found out who that witness was!" I exclaimed. "I just dreamed aliout the whole thing." "And who is it?" she asked, with a considerable show of interest. "Why, it came to me just as ea$y as anything could," I vent on. I was in the court room and the lawyer a.ked me to name the man I sai l I said" And then I did my best to think of what I bad said. "Well, whatr "Why, I said it was" I ran my hands through my hair half a dozen times. "Why, confound the thing 1 I've forgotten it again.'" And true enough that name and face had slipped through my mind once more. There was no use trying to bring it bajk either. It wouldn't come, and after spending two hours in the easy chair trying to coax the thing to return I gave cp in despair. "I think after this when yoa meet any one you had better put it down in your note book !" said my w ife at the break fast table. But then, she was slightly cross be cause I awoke her two hours before the regular time. At 8 o'clock I took the train for Liber ty, and arriving there made my way at once to the court house. I was feeling pretty blue, and it did not hely my spir its when the time for the case to open came and Dodworth had not yet put in an appearance. 'Fairfax against Blake," called out the clerk, and at that moment my lawyer appeared at the doorway. "Missed two trains hunting up your witness he exclaimed, "tiut 1 got him and brought him along, I left him in the hallway so as to give Fairfax a surprise. "You've got the witness V I gtsped. Who is it 7" "Mr. George Ardell, a shoe dealer of Hamstone.'' Why, of course, that is the very man, I cried wniga Uetigni. cy couldn't I think of him? Does he re member the case ?" Perfectly." "And how did yoa ran against him?" AUGUST 31, 1892. "I'll tell yoa after the trial. But say, put down his nam so as not to forget it when you are on the stand." And without a murmur I did as di rected. The case was xn in full sway. I gave in my testimony and it was corroborated by Mr. Ardell in every particular. The jury brought in a verdict within tet min utes. It was for the plaintiff for thi amount of the bill, !e 15 per cent, with the costs of the suit to be paid by Fair fax. I was perfectly satisfied, and Dod worth, the witness and myself left the building in high spirits. "Now tell me how you found out about Ardell," said I, as we sat down at the hotel to have dinner at my expense. "It was a curious thing," replied Dod worth. "Pid you notice how Fairfax stared at me when I ros as your law yer ?" "Yes." "Well, I slept with that man last night It happened that we both stop ped over at Hamstone, and at the same hotel. The town was crowded with men on account of some reunion, and the clerk said that I couldn't have a room, but if I was willing to share with anoth er be would fix me np. I said all right and he put me in with Fairfax: "l3aw at once who he was, but be didn't know me from Adam, and I didn't let on. We went to bed and he was soon sound asleep. "I lay awake tanking over your case, and wondering whether yoa or the man beside me would win. I guess he must have had the same thing in mind, for pretty soon be begin to toss and talk in his sleep. 'I've got you, Blake,' said he. 'You can't win this case. These words made me wide awake, and I listened eagerly for whatever might follow. "Pretty soon he took another toss. " 'I don't care if George Ardell was there,' he murmured ; he won't remember a thing about it notja thing. II Iwin the case, Blake. What Ardell knows won't help you a bit' "He coutiuned to talk in this strain for a long time, and I drank in every word. In the morning I was Crst u?, and you can make up your mind that I wasn't long in finding out who Mr. Ar dell was, and then I set out to find him. I had considerable trouble, but when I did it was all right and yoa know the rest." Sach was Dd worth's explanation. When he had finished I told the other two of my dream, and all three of us agree that from beginning to end the case was a curious one. Bu'Tuto St. A Year Without Summer. The6tateof the weather in May pre sented a splendid opening for a few para-agraph-i on the extraordinary summer of 1S13. According to the beat records January and February were warm aa 1 springlike. March was cold and stormy. Vegetation bad got well along in April, when rear winter set in. Sleet and snow fell on seventeen different days in May. In Jane there was either frpet or snow every night but three. Tue snow was five inches dap fjr several days in suc cession in the interior cf New York, and from tea inches to three feet in Vermont and Main. July was cold and frosty, ice forming as thick as window paces in every one of the New England States. August was still worse ; ice formed nearly an inch in thickness, and killed nearly every green thing in the United States and Europe. In the spring of!?l'5 corn which had been kept over from she crop of 1j15,scM froai to to $10 a bushel, and buyers pur chasing for seed. Oa May 10, 1SG5, snow fell tothedejth ofa foot ia Jamestown, Va., aul was piled up in huge drifts in mast cf the Northern States. There was snow in many parts of Iowa and Illinois on May II, 1ST 3, and again as late as May 2:!, Ancestors of tho Horse. Some interesting facts about the geo logical ancestors f the horse have re cently been made known by Professor March. Various forms of horse like ani ma'is that lived in America in those re mote times know n to the geologist as the eocene, miocene, and pliocene epochs, and which may have occurred millions of years ago, have been uneirthed, aa l science has shrunk from the task of re constructiDz these animals from their fragmentary remains. The curiously icttrestirg statement is made by Professor Marsh, that "the old est ancestor of the horse as y tt undis covered cndoubtly had fivetoes on each fxt, and j robably wes not larger than a rabhit perhaps much smaller." Heeven ventured to rredict in which ofthejeo- logieal strata the animal will probably lie found, and suggests that it be carued "Hippo ps." In modern times a horse is occasional ly seen which poesesses extra toes,thtis showing the existence of a slight tend ency, under certain conditions, to revert to the peculiarities of its remote ancest ors. This tendency is cce of the proofs which science has to offer that the coble and beutiful animal, whose services add so much to the powers and the enjoy ments of man, has really been develop ed from those queer Deasts of an:ient times to which the geologists have given such names as, cohippus, cruhippus, pro tohippus, miohippus and pliohippus. 1 o Make Black Coffee. Take six light tablespooasful of coffee beans from the jar ; jrind them in a mill, neither too coarse nor to fine. Have a well-cleansed French coffee pot, put the coffee on the filter, with the smaller strainer over, then pour on a pint and a half of boiling water, little by little recol lectins, at the same time, that too much care cannot be taken to impress on thoe making the coffee the necessity of hav ing the water boiling thoroughly, other wise it were as useless to attempt the feat as to try and raise musk melons at the North Pole, notwithstanding that the coffee be of the very first qaAlity. When all the water is consumed put on the cover, and let infuse slightly, but on no account must if bil again ; then serve in six after-dinner cups. Coffee ehiuld never be prepare"! more than five min utes before the time to serve. Tue talent of success is nothing more thaa doing what we can do well, and doing well whatever yoa do, without a thought cf farce. era THE TARIFF UP TO DATE. What Protection Has Done to Promote American Indus tries. fi.'vrf P. I'lttcT ia Chitiryo Dauy Vefif.- The tariff up to date. For a Lot wea ther topic one can hardly imagine any thing more appalling to the ordinary mind, unless perhaps it should be the "census up to date." And yet this is ex actly what the editor of the JW;r has re quested me to furnish that most enter prising journal of the great Western me tropolis. It is true that during the last hor.rs of Congress, and with the ther mometer ranging in the "nineties," Con gressmen and Senators have been shak ing tabulated i-tatements of prices at each other and dumping into that will ing and lasting receptacle, the C'jnfTt io.ifif Rroffl, w hole books on the subject ander discussion. Indeed, some desper ate member did me the honor to thus reproduce a little book of which I am the author, and I was somewhat startled one morning to find myself occupying 20 or :i0 paes of the Jlcor i. When I re call the thousands of exhibits, and ts blts, and tabulated statements, and bul letins tliat have gone firth ia the last twelve months from the census otlice to Eupply statesmen and orators and pam phleteers aad editors and the public gen erally with the ba.-is for tariff arguments, pro and con, it makes one doubt your ability to say or write a tiling on the sub ject that is terse and tresh and crisp enough for the columns of a popular dal ly newspaper like the .V". I shall, therefore, deal as lightly as possible with statistics. The tariff question as now presented far the decision of the American people next November is more clearly defined than it has been since the war. It did not enter into the campaigns of !:$ aad 1S72. It was hardly discussed ia 1S70. It was brought in during the closing weeks of the campaign in certain locali-tit-s in H-0, but the appointment of the tariff commission in 1S-2 shows that the Republican leaders wanted more light on the sulject. The report of that commis sion did much to strengthen the protec tion sentiment of the country, and had the tariff commission bill been passed without amendment the tin plate indus try would now have been as firmly es tablished and as gratify iug an illustration of the benefits of protection as the wire nail iadstry. In the instance referred to the tariff commission rate of duty of 4 cents ir pound was a. lowed to stay on- wire nails, but Congress defeated the recommendation to increase the duty on tin plate. Althongh the duty on nails was increased in HJ from 1 t 4 cents per pound, the price of nails went stead ily down from S;X cents per pound ia ls." to 2Ji cents per pound in 1502, an i the production of nails increased from les thaa I,000,O kega to nearly o.OOO, 000 kegs in IS 'l. The knowledge of these an I similar fa-L?, together with revelations as to how European work men were paid and live as compared with American workmen, still further strengthened protectionists, and the cam paign of lv4 was more decidedly fought out oa tariff li tes, though the Democrats la strong protection districts and Slates kept the question ia the background to a considerable extent, and tlis record of the la'.-' Samuel J. Randall was extolled and pointed to as a shining example ofa tariff Democrat. The message of 3Ir. Cleveland, th- Mills bill and the over throw of the little band of tariff Demo crats in the House of Representatives, brought the real issue to the frcnt in ISss ar.d the uht was a square one, thongh the Republicans were not as well equip ped for it as they are at the present time. Oa that issue the Republicans won, and unless ail signs fail they will score an other victory for the caue of' American industry aad labor in 1?'.2. The question of a tariff for revenue or a tariff for protection is clearly drawn, both in the platforms aad the candidates of the two parties. Ia the McKiuley bill the Republican party has takea the slan t on the tariff question, which its leaders failed to do in IS.!, when a Re publican Congress ioodlued the tariff commission bill. In the Wattcrscn p'at f.rai the Democrats have takea the stand which its leadera failed t) do in 1S.S4 and 1;.;S in the national platform. Both par ties at seem to have the courage of their convictions and are ready to win or lose oa this issue. At last it may be truthfully said that economic questions divide the two great politico! parties. Another good sign is that both sides are gttiiiig nearer than ever to the point of agreeing as to tue tacts, ie Ugures ot i in any other .me cl mAnufaetarel arli the eleventa census stand unquestioned.

The elaborate iavestigation conducted by the Senate Finance Committee into prices cf commodities and w before and after the passage of the McKIr.ly bill came to the Senate signed by Senator Aldric h cf Rhode Island and Senator Carlisle of Kentucky ; by Senator Hlscock of New York and Senator Harris of Tennessee; by Senator Allison cf Iowa aad Sena'.or Blackburn of Kentucky. A substantia! agreement as to facts. What are those facts? I shall ia this se- ries of articles endeavor to point oat the most important facts brought to light by the eleventh census and by this Senate invent Ration, which appears to bear directly on the present phase of the tar iff question. This question will undoubt edly be debated with more vigor anl more ability daring this campaign thaa ever before ia the history of the country. The keenest minds have been at work on the question. The facts will be ana lyzed more thoroughly thaa ever before. There will be less personality and more political economy ; less fustian and more sensible argument : less theory and mot solid facts. I: has been truly said thAt among honest an 1 iate'oi?ent men a lorg approach is made to the end of a contro versy when the facts underlying the is- sue are placed beyond dispute. And for all this let us be truly thank- fuL It is not worth while to waste time and space ia comparing the growth and pr-rrlty of the nation during periods .f !.-.: irlfT nf Ktoniu tarl.T and B eri- i odsofhigh tariff. I Lave heard that grand old protection'Ist Judge Kelley, argue these points with free traders and ici WHOLE NO. 214i floor them every time. The chapter giv ing the history of the tariff in Mr. Elaine's book demonstrates beyond ques tion that industrial degressions, low wa ges and general distress have invariably followed periods of revenue tariff. It is admitted on all sides to-day that a day's wai.s will buy much more food, rcuch more clothing and much more of the other necessities of life thaa before the war. It is not necessary for me to roduce a brcailsi Je of tabulated tables to convince the average American wage-earner that with a protective tariff this country offers better wages than any other country in the world. It is these increased wages, these additional comforts, these broader opportunities and these happier homes thit have attracted our kin from beyond the sea, and which made the gates cf Castle Garden swing inward and not outward. The orhcial figures show that since 1S72, or for nearly 20 years the tar iff rates of the United States on total im ports have remained substantially the same. Ia that year the average rate i f daty was 27 per cent. Since then it Las never reached higher than M pr cent. The McKlnley law reduced the average to 25 per cent the present rate. Wh:n it is remembered that tie war tariff reached 47 per cent it in easy to realize the large add. lions to th fiee list and reductions in duty made by the 1 publican party during this 20 years. The protection theory is that by n coaraging such home industries as may fairly be ex pected to take root and grow here it ia possible in the end, not only fo firmly establish such manufactures. List uhiaiately to produce articles aa good and s cheap as our foreign rivals. The free trader will be met this campaign en every Land w ith uncontrovertible fails proving this to be true. Ia the iron and steel industry it will be shown that we have distanced England and are now the greatest iron and steel producing nation La the world. Even the recent strike at Homestead will prove a strong argument for protec tion. The men were receiving hi-h wa ges, lived in comfortable homes and had money in the bank twice and three times as much as similar workmen are paid in England. A comparison of strike statistics shows that the number of strikes and persons involved are far greater in free trade England than pro tection America about three times as great ia proportion to the' nu:nLr eai p.oved. The fact hke reuiains Uut we are paying d juble the wavs paid XLr same class of work ia England, aad, ia spite of the talk about higher c-ost of liv ing the Senate Finance Committee tig-, ures will prove thai for a famiiy bayicg the same quantity and quality of articles at retail in the two countries that the coet of living would not be higher in America. The condition, hnweverrjTihe Ameri can workman is indnilely superior to tiiat of aay other peolie ia the world. Under this protective tariff we Lave built up a vast textile industry, ei-pi jv iug ia the aggrtAte tieiriy .'J ; r Svcs. and turning out annually pruJuet to the val'te cf a-xut i. .O).'""!. It will be Uo a ia tli grct branches of the manufacture of wool, of cotton, f bi'.'i, that we have steadily improved the I laiity and lesser.el the iv?t t the u ii su.ner.

S'a-.s ia iili t:.-? i.-.d ut.-ies have goae up considerably ia tho last dect'ie. The census shows that the nuru'.r of employets in the wool manufacture in creased 37 per cent in the ten years from 1.S3 to lS'A', and their average aunial wag.s increased 1 percent ia that ten years. That is. wages j-aid to all help. Men, women anl childrtn in all branch es of the business averaged fi'd annual ly in IsSO and ?"47 in aa increase of I per cent The tendency of wages ia all our pro tected industries is steadily upward not always perceptibly from year ta year, but very marked when measured by tea year perio-ls. No less marked is the steady downward niJ.eracEt ia the pr.ee of commodities consumed by wa-e wurk- era. This downwarl tread has been i more conspicuous ia woolen ?jds thaa purchising power cf wages of nearly 50 per centum ia the last 1) years.

"It's unconstitutional." The business interests of tlie country demand that the law in regard to tin plate, for example, be carried oat in gtxl faith. Prior to the message of the tariff 1 of ls'O there was no tin plate industry ia the United States. Yet we consame more tin plate than any other nation ia 1 the world. Ia twenty years, 1S71 91, we paid 6r tin plate to foreigners the enor rcons sum cf j-"5"i7nii4.
