A petition was presented iu tbe

senting it through their own . Rep
resentative, who happened to be a
Democrat. While the mau two
hundred miles a way, who knew very
little abont tbe irou mining indus
try of St. Loais county, put in a
touching plea for protection to that
Minnesota "infant," the gentleman
wbo represent tbe iion producing
district made a vigorous' argument
against protection, and coutended
that tbe infant was cot oolv able to
stand aloof, bat was ablebodied en
ough to toddle around and take
care of itself, and that It could get
along better without protection tnan
with it. Toat petition calls to mind
some peculiar features of this iron
ore tartness- Tbe manufacturers
at Sparrow Point, Maryland,' who
are anxious for fee ore, allege, a-u-ong
other things, that there is no
necessity tor a protective tariff on
iron ore, tbe only tlect ot wbich fa

A young woman tacea a sucueaa
ion of hard trials when she turns 10
a business carter, writes Elward
W. Bok in an article on tbat moat
Interesting of subjects. ''Women in
Business Lite.'' in tbe April Ladies'
Home Journal. It la easisr for her
to think tbat she can do what she
sees others doing than it is for bei
to do it. It is not so easy to be
compelled 10 rise at a certain hour
day after day whether oue feels like
it or iiot ; to eat a hasty breakfast,
or, let me say, rather to bolt It ; to
go oat in tbe biting frosts - of the
winter and the torrid beats ol tbe
summer: to leve tbe comforts ot
borne behind, aud those dearest
tud nearest to us to be compelled;
to write wneu the eyes will scarcely
k-ep open from the ache in tbe
head; to eat either a cold lunch
spread ou the knee or mingle with
tbe elements in a cheap restaurant
to see the wardrobe running behind,
wjtb no time to sew or replenish it ;
to go tbroagh the strain of a long
day's work only to return Lome at
eventide often too tired to eat j
feel too exhausted to do aught in
tbe evening bat to remain home
and sek early rest to gain strength,
for ibe morrow, to go through tbe
same routine of mental and pbysN
cat aoguish. Will any one ca'l this
a life of independence ? Christain
