The Rising Son

Where Fairbanks Stands. INDIANAPOLIS, I.N.D. — Senator ' Charles W. Fairbanks' letter accepting the Republican convention's nomination for the vice presidency has been made public. He says in part: The Hon. Eliza Hill, Chairman of Notification Committee, My Dear Sir. In accordance with the promise made when the committee authored the nomination for vice president, I avail myself of this opportunity to submit to you, and through you to my fellow citizens, some questions and questions in issue before the people. The principles when are so frankly and relentlessly) expressed in the platform adopted by the Republican national convention, in the main they have been supposed to the test of actual experience and have been found to be well suited to our industrial and national needs. They have a terribly developed development, and have made the nation's name respected among the powers of the earth. The utterances of political leaders are interrupted in the light that practically presides over them have put upon them when instructed with power. It is not alone what they say, but what they will do, which should wish in determining their capacities. We have had two administrations in the last seven years when have been governed by the game policies. We may consult the trade reports in vatican to dissolve the government, but the began, both were obliged to make vast expenditures for much needed public works. The rapidly expanding needs of the government business must be met, with our national growth, yet always with the regard to the principles of sound economy in public expenditure. We have pursued the parsimonious policy on the other, and we have pursued the policy on the other. We have measured the public expense by the public necessity. The convention did well in its hearty communication of the administration of the peace, as it is appropriately challenged by the opposition. We accept the issue with confidence. The president assumed the responsibilities of chief executive with a pledge to carry out the peace, and the president of the council. He took the cabinet of President McKinley, he composed of statesmen of eminent ability, in whom the country passed entire confidence. He carried forward the peace, he maintained and successfully. The pledge has been kept suspiciously; the promise has been fulfilled. Peace and good order have been maintained. Domestic and foreign trade have increased and relations of trade have been preserved with foreign powers. The foreign policy of the administration has been conservative, just and firm, and has made for the advancement of peace, and has suggested the wisdom and necessity of a continuance of the present foreign policy. We favor the adjustment of international disagreements by an appeal to the international community. Our relations with the world were never better. We have avoided all entangling alliances, and, in the language of the eminent secretary of state, "We are with the world." The convention wisely declared in favor of "protection which guards and develops our industries," and that "the measure of protection should always at the cost of production at home and abroad." The Democratic convention which later assembled at St. Louis denounced protection as a robbery of the many to the protection of the public and gradual reduction of the tariff. The issue is thus distinctly made. It is by no means a new one, for while the Republican party has uniformly adhered to the policy of protection, the Democratic convention it has held to the doctrine of a revenue tariff, and during all the years of the contest has maintained that the protective system was opposed to good morals, in contravention of the constitution. It involves redundant and fundamental. It involves reduced and fundamental. It involves reduced and fundamental. It does not simply the measure of the duties to be laid. A revision of duties should be made only when conditions have so changed that the public interest demands protection, and they should be so revised and not destroy the protective principle. A revision and reduction by those who regard the tariff as a robbery must awaken serious apprehension among all who are engaged at labor in the various enterprises throughout the country which depend in large measure upon the maintenance of the protective system. History abundantly shows that the protection of the country has occurred during the period when the protective tariff has been maintained, and that during this time labor has received its largest rewards and capital has been most profitably engaged. The development of the country during the period of complete vindication of the virtue and efficacy of a protective system. In 1890 the value of our exports and manufactures was $40,355,852. Twenty years later it was $40,145,823. In 1922 the protection of its opponents that the protective tariff is inconsistent with the extension of our foreign commerce is thus denied by actual results. In considering the effect of the tariff on public and democratic parties, we are fortunately able to consult past experience. What a revenue tariff will accomplish we know, for we have hitherto seen how it has arrested industry, deprived the labor of both labor and capital. Neither escapes its blighting effects. Commercial reciprocity with foreign countries "consistent with the principles of the United States," will be recognized policies of the Republican party. The present administration, in the face of serious Democratic opposition, secured a treaty of reciprocity with Cuba, which promises to give us the most secure share of the commerce of that island. Both Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt attempted to negotiate a treaty of reciprocity with Canada. What subject, however, was the nature of their matters was submitted to a joint high commission for consideration, but the differences which arose between the American and the British commissioners with respect to the boundary made it impossible to determine the nature of the remaining subjects submitted for its determination. The American commissioners desired to remit the boundary dispute of the two governments and to make the necessary new provisions of the remaining subjects, including reciprocity, but the British commissioners declined to proceed further while the boundary remained undetermined. Subsequent discussions and the boundary line has been settled, but no agreement has been reached for further consideration of the remaining questions embracable of reciprocity with Canada accrued. The situation had been known in the Republican national platform. Farm Hands' Dress. Farm hands in Yucatan wear linen garments of spotless white. When they become even slightly soiled, they hasten to change them. Work is plentiful there. farm laborers are well paid and they can afford to be tidy. Young Jap Has to Study. The young Japanese who wishes to enter the public service, a profession, or even to rank as educated, has practically to learn four languages—pure Japanese, Japano-Chinese, epistolary Japanese and colloquial dialect. ed in the protocol. It is to be hoped that the two governments may be able to agree in due course to take up the responsibilities of combinations of capital and labor as the outgrowth of our economic development and as entitled to equal protection and subject to equal protection of the rights of the SHVELT AND THE TRUSTS. The administration has enforced the Sherman anti-trust act, which was of Republican origin, in cases where combinations have been formed in violation of the principle. The Democratic party has done nothing toward safeguarding legitimate interests and restraining combinations effected for extortion or other improper purposes. The administration has for unjust combinations to remove the tariff from trust-made goods, thereby inviting the foreign producer to occupy our home market in an attempt to regulate the tariff. The so-called trusts are either created or fostered by the tariff. The assumption is fallacious. Trusts are found in freetrade countries and they control companies in this country which are upon the free list. The Republican party is more direct and rational. It does not strike down good and bad alike. it invokes the authority of congress and with specific, well-defined combinations in restraint of the rights and interests of the people. it is as insistent upon the protection of capital employed in wholesome enterprises as in prevention in contravention of the public interests. The convention very properly declared it "to be the duty of the republican party to uphold the gold standard." There is no more important duty than maintaining the stability and the character of the money of the people. The money question has seemed to be settled at various times, but the contest has been revived by the enemies of sound government. We thought that they might be successful. We not only established the gold standard, but we provided such safeguards as the right to a silver market and the currency in a parity with all of this may be changed at any time by a hostile congress, or endangered by a government action. Our past experience warns us that it is only a question of time when those who are always opposed to a sound monetary system must be represented. The Republican convention did not only to pledge anew our faith to the gold standard, but to declare its purpose and the parity and value of our national currency. The president's course in Panama merits the most generous approval. He dealt with a delicate and difficult situation, but he negotiated rights in a way as to make possible early completion of an isthmian canal which has long been demanded in the interest of our commerce and the national defense. He concluded the negotiations with Great Britain, and he negotiated Bulwer treaty. He negotiated a treaty with the Republic of Colombia for the requisite rights and franchises for the construction and operation of a canal, and he negotiated a treaty fused by the Colombian government. Thereupon the people of Panama renounced their allegiance to the parent government and declared their independence of his executive authority, and in conformity with well established precedent, promptly recognized their independence. He negotiated a treaty with Panama to renounce the necessary rights and franchises for building and operating the canal. When the insurrection occurred upon the littmusm, the president safeguarded himself, but deliberately, prudently, not rashly, firmly, not unlawfully. He usurped no authority. He only exercised that executive power by the constitution, and when his presidents had employed under similar circumstances, if he had failed to apprehend the presumptly, blood would have been shed and the rights of American citizens would have been sacrificed, and the construction of the penal would have been indefinitely delayed. The president in due time appointed a commission composed of eminent engineers and men of practical experience to undertake the work of constructing the bridge, as no longer any doubt or uncertainty as to the enterprise. Its completion is now an assured fact, and it will stand as one of the memorable achievements of this great achievement. Its completion this great work should be left to administration which has been done so much to carry it forward against formidable obstacles abroad and vexatious opposition at home. The administration in the Philippines has been dictated by a broad sense of duty. It has not been subversive of our national ideals, but has been in conformity with the best traditions of the republic. The archiologe came to be United States of America and it became the duty of the administration to enforce the laws there as elsewhere, to maintain the national sovereignty, and to inaugurate civil government. Before insurrection had closed, President McKinley expressed our purpose when he said: "No effort will be spared to build up the waste places desolated by war and over years of misgovernment. We shall learn to manage the schools and the churches, to set the courts in operation, to foster industry and trade and commerce, and in every way to provide for the welfare of Providence has brought within our jurisdiction feel that it is their liberty and not our power, their welfare and not our gain, the FAVORITE IRRIGATION. The application of the proceeds of public land sales to the reclamation of irrigable portions of our arid and semi-arid lands is the most important and unbuilding of substantial communities in places hitherto waste or comparatively unproductive. At the same time a vast number of towns and villages, which the industrious homeowners now residing in over-crowded Eastern centers, may find homes. The sum of overcrowded towns, which additions are constantly being made, guarantees, under the wise administration, great progress in the work of irrigation, and the settlement of the arid region within a few years. The development of trade with the Orient promises to absorb the increased production of cereals in the Far West. so as to increase the economic vitality of lactic seabed undisturbed. The settlement of the present unproductive regions will open a new market for the manufacturers of the East. These areas are as broad as our country's needs. They are neither sectional nor racial in their generous design. We are inspired with one high purpose, and are to under divine guidance, to probaite peace and good order, virtue and knowledge, justice, patriotism and prosperity among our countrymen and to increase to the utmost the strength and great republic. Very respectfully yours. Meant Hie Words to Last. Not many months ago a clergyman preached one Sunday evening from test text. "My words shall not pass away." Exactly a fortnight later the same clergyman preached the same sermon from the same text in the same church, to the wonderment of practically the same congregation. Evidently it was his determination that at any rate his words should not pass away from the memory of his hearers. A gratuitous falshood is one that gives itself away. THE PIED PIPER OF ESOPUS. FREE-TRADER HARD TIMES ROAD TO THE Soup-House GENUINE RECIPROCY TARIFF TRIPPER TARIFF REFORMER QUINCE SCOTT 04 WHAT DO THEY MEAN? DEMOCRATS ARE STRADDLING ON THE TARIFF QUESTION. Bailey of Texas Says Protection Is Necessary, but Declares that It is a Perversion of Government Power and a Downright Robbery. In his speech in Brooklyn Aug. 26 Senator Bailey of Texas said: "It is the drivel of an idiot to talk about any party in this country proposing to repeal all tariffs and to establish free trade. With the expenditures of the federal government already so enormous as to stagger the imagination, and growing greater every year under the reckless extravagance of those now in power, they cannot hope to materially reduce the present rate of duty. "Under the necessity of raising revenue to support the government, the Democratic party will continue to levy tariff duties, and it perfectly understands that those tariff duties will afford a protection to American manufacturers against their foreign competitors." Standing alone, this would class as a moderate, sane and reassuring statement of the Democratic attitude and intention regarding future changes in our tariff system. To be sure, it is rather hard on some of Mr. Bailey's brother Democrats, like Champ Clark and Bourke Cockran, who have in fewid oratory again and again vowed their detestation of any and all custom house restrictions or charges. But that is another story. Messrs. Clark and Cockran are told that they have been talking "the trivial of an idiot," and they must deal with Joe Bailey accordingly. We are, however, just now considering Bailey all by himself. There is much to consider. There is Bailey the moderate, the sane, the reasonable. FREE-TRADER GENUINE RECIPIENT TANIFF TRIPPER TANIFF REFORMER and there is Bailey the radical, the iconoclast, the destroyer. One of these Baileys says that until we can obtain a constitutional amendment authorizing an income tax and a direct tax on all property we must stick to the tariff as a revenue producer, with incidental protection that shall guard American manufactures against foreign competition. Turn we now to the other Bailey. Earlier in the same speech the Texas Senator said: "Our Republican friends seem to be fiercely aroused because we have dared to say that 'protection is a robbery of the many to enrich the few.' Any law which levies a tax, not for the purpose of raising revenue to support the government, but for the purpose of compelling an American citizen to pay more for the goods which he must buy, is a perversion of government power and a downright robbery. "If Congress could raise revenue to support the federal government by levying an ad valorem tax of uniform rate on all the property of this country, then the question of free trade would become a debatable one. But as the constitution stands to-day—and as it will always stand in this respect, because it would be utterly impossible to obtain a three-fourths vote of all the states for an amendment to this provision—we can never levy a direct tax without such great inequality as to render such a tax impossible except in extraordinary emergencies." Here, we suspect, speaks the real Bailey. Here we have the free trade Bailey. Any law, mark you, which goes beyond the purpose of raising revenue and compels an American citizen to pay for goods manufactured at home a higher price than that for which he could buy similar goods manufactured in a foreign country is "a pre-version of government power and a downright robbery." Protection, according to Bailey, does that, and hence protection is robbery. That being the case, what becomes of the attitude of Bailey No. 1? Will the Democratic party continue this perversion, this downright robbery, as to "afford a protection to American manufacturers against their foreign competitors"? It cannot do this, Bailey contends, without "compelling the American citizen to pay more," etc., without sanctioning and perpetuating a "downright robbery." No; that is not what the Democratic party will do when it gets the power to do anything with the tariff. It will recast the tariff on purely revenue lines and eliminate protection robbery. It will reverse the existing order of things. It will levy a tariff on articles which we do not ourselves produce. It will levy no tariff, or, at most, a very low tariff, on articles of a competitive character, because it will not do to levy a tariff on such articles that will compel our people to "pay more," etc. That is exactly what Bailey No. 1 means and intends. It is what the Democratic party means and intends. Obviously the conservative curve taken by Bailey No. 2 was an afterthought. Bailey No. 1 forgot himself and was too radical. Bailey No. 2 toned him down. Which of the Baileys is the real thing? No. 1, we feel sure; the Bailey that regards protection as a robbery, a condition to be endured only until it can be replaced by a Democratic tariff that will raise the maximum of revenue with the minimum of protection. When the Senator from Texas gets through floundering and straddling on the tariff question, when there is no longer any danger of frightening business votes away, then he will stand undisguised as Bailey No. 1, Bailey the free trader. Parker's Speech Boiled Down. As a condensed form of Parker's speech of acceptance the following is about as good as any yet issued: R OF ESOPUS. HARD TIMES ROAD TO THE Soup-House QUINCY SCOTT BY "I am for tariff reform, but I couldn't do anything to reform it during the single term I should remain in office, because the Republican Senate wouldn't let me. I am against the trusts, but I think that there are enough of anti-trust laws now and the common law is sufficient to meet any new requirements; therefore, don't worry over the idea that I would disturb business conditions. As for labor disturbances, they are all right in one place and wrong in another; capital is also right and wrong; therefore, capital and labor have no reason to worry over my election. In regard to the money question, I sent a telegram, and really that's all there is to say about it."—Jersey City Journal. Will Agree With the President. Who among our workingmen is willing to favor a tariff change which would reproduce in the country the stagnation, idleness and distress of the years following 1893? What workingman does not see the wisdom of a protective policy which maintains a higher average wage in the United States than that which obtains in Europe? Our myriads of industrial workers will heartily agree with the president that tariff readjustment, when made, must maintain and not destroy the protective principle.—Toledo Blade. Not Welcomed Anywhere. Judge Parker's pronouncement in favor of hauling down the American flag in the Philippines and scuttling from the islands has not met with the rapturous welcome in Democratic circles that the judge might reasonably have expected. When it comes to hauling down the flag Americans, without regard to party, are not enthusiastic over the business.—New York Tribune PARKER WRITES OF ISSUES. Democratic Nominee's Letter of Acceptance Made Public. Judge Parker's letter, supplementing his acceptance of the nomination for President of the United States, tendered him by the national Democratic convention, has been made public. In the document he reiterates his belief in the gold standard and expresses appreciation of the action of the convention on the subject. The Judge points out what he considers the dangers in the centralizing of power in the national government, and takes strong ground against the so-called policy of "Imperialism." Tariff reform is declared to be one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic party and its necessity at this time great. The Dingley tariff law, the Judge asserts, is unjust and oppressive and properly named the "Mother of Trusts." He commits the party to a change in tariff rates in the event of a Democratic victory in November, reasserting his belief that the Republican senate will be unable to prevent it. Though disproved by official statistics the charge is made that the cost of living has increased far beyond advance in wages, and for this condition the capacity of the "trusts," fostered by the Dingley tariff, is held to blame. On the subject of the "trusts" the document deals only in generalities, pointing out no remedy and saying only: "I favor such further legislation, within constitutional limitations, as will best promote and safeguard the interests of all the people." Reciprocal trade treaties, as advocated by President McKinley, Judge Parker indorses. He makes the claim that the Republican majority in the Senate has prevented the ratification of these treaties in the past. On the question of the independence of the Filipinos the candidate advocates "such measures of freedom as the Cubans enjoy," but not until "it can prudently be granted." The Republican policy of the reclamation of arid lands in the West is indorsed. Immediate building of the ramana canal is urged, though the document criticises the "unjust methods" by which it is alleged the United States secured the route and rights. A policy favorable to the building up of an American merchant marine is advocated, though the methods by which this should be done are not mentioned. The granting of subsidies for the purpose is denounced. Judge Parker promises, in the event of the election of a Democratic executive and Congress, a full investigation of all government departments. Liberal pension laws, he declares are simply acts of justice. President Roosevelt's action in promulgating Pension Order, No. 78, granting pensions to all veterans over the age of 62, is sharply censured and the promise made that it will be revoked if the party is given power. A policy of non-interference in the affairs of the world, the Judge declares the proper course to pursue. He makes the charge that governmental expenditures are too high and blames the administration for alleged extravagance. TOOK WOMAN FROM HAREM. Abduction Case Has Caused Sensation in Cairo, Egypt A sensational abduction case involving a lineal descendant of the prophet Mohammed and a pair of real Arab snelks is reported from Cairo, in Egypt. Sheik All Joussef fell in love with the daughter of Sheik el Saddat. The girl's father, who is said to be the sole living descendant of the prophet Mohammed, refused his consent to the marriage, as he did not think All Joussef was a fit person to be the husband of a girl of such noble lineage. All Joussef, however, abducted the girl and placed her in his harem. Her father appealed to the Egyptian government, with the result that a detachment of armed police was dispatched to All Joussef's harem. The police made a forcible entry to the premises and, in order to be sure that they had taken possession of the person wanted, they ordered all the fair denizens of the harem to follow them in a veiled procession to the house of Sheik el Saddat, where his daughter was finally selected from the rest of the women and detained. All Joussef has now, it is said, begun proceedings before the British authorities, and has obtained the services of an English lawyer. He Wished to Be Truthful. The sour and surly looking visitor called the little boy to him and took him on his knee. It so happened that at this particular time he wished to make friends with him in order to stand well with his parents. "I like little boys," said the visitor. The boy looked as if he doubted it, but he held his peace. "That is," explained the visitor, in order that there should be no mistake. "I like good little boys; and you're a good little boy, aren't you?" "Well," returned the boy cautiously, "there are a lot worse than me on our street." "I wish that you should like me, too," persisted the visitor. Again the boy was wise enough to hold his peace, but he looked as if he thought the job was a pretty big one. The expression was not lost on the visitor. "Don't you like me now," he asked. The boy looked at the visitor and sighed. Then he looked at his father and his expression was one of great doubt. "Pop," he said at last, "does all that stuff that you told me about never telling a lie or not?" Then the meeting was promptly ad-tourned amid considerable confusion. He Knows Better Now.

There grows in Africa a cactus the leaves and fruit of which are a terror to the just and unjust alike. The plant grows so quickly and is so healthy that a single leaf, if thrown on the ground, will strike root at once. Farmers at the Cape find it as great a nuisance as farmers elsewhere have found the thistle. Ostriches feed on it with sad results to themselves. Their heads and necks become as full of prickles as a well-kept cushion of pins, and the thorns in the fruit stick in their throats. Sometimes they get into their eyes, too, and the birds grow blind. In dry weather the stings are blown about like thistle down and cause much annoyance to the unlucky persons on whom they alight. The fruit, if you know how to peel it, has some good qualities. It is cool and refreshing in summer heat and the treacle made from it is not bad where butter is scarce or costly. A coarse spirit that may be burned in a lamp when nothing else can be got is distilled from the fruit, and blacks, and even Boers, will sometimes drink it. To peel the pear, stick a fork in it firmly, then cut open the skin and take it off, on no account using your fingers. If you should handle it, and eat it, you will feel for days prickles and pangs as if you had been stung by and fed on a thousand nettles. Mexican Street Customs. Many street customs of Mexico are surprising and somewhat confounding to strangers when they first enter the country. For instance, hand-clapping is the usual way of attracting attention. If a man wants to stop a street car or call a messenger, he simply brings the palms of his hands together several times instead of whistling or shouting at the top of his voice. When the attention of a person is secured, an overhand motion, the opposite of beckoning, signals that he or she is wanted by the person signaling That portion of a pavement farthest removed from the street is the path of honor, and is invariably surrendered to women and by people of the lower class to their superiors. If you walk along the street with a Mexican, he is careful to take the outside position. Salutations at a distance are accomplished by passing the right hand in front of the face, palm inward, the fingers working during the maneuver Oldest Known Piece of Money. Chairman Losmann, of the Society of Scientific Research, in Anatolia, has just acquired a coin which is the oldest known piece of money in the world. It was obtained during a recent journey in Syria. The piece, which is of pure silver, contains a perfect Aramean inscription of Panammu bar Rerub, King of Schamol, who reigned 800 years B. C. Although the Lydians have been regarded as the inventors of money, this coin now upsets that belief, as it shows that two centuries before their time money was used by the Semitic Arameans. A Very Useful Dog. A blacksmith in the West had a forge for the purpose of making nails for the coarsest sort of shoes. The boy who tended this forge made 1,000 nails a day, with some one's assistance. And who do you suppose was his helper? A dog! This clever animal had been trained to blow the bellows by means of a wheel attached to the crank. While the iron was in the fire the dog would blow the bellows; when it was taken out he stopped to rest, commencing again of his own accord when it was put in again. Birds Killed in Flight. It is reported from Lubec, Me., that while some parties were out driving in a buggy at South Lubec the other evening a big flock of sandpeeps, or snipes, suddenly flew across the road, and struck the side of the carriage, killing twenty-five or thirty of them. The occupants of the team brought them home with them, and enjoyed a nice lunch off the little birds. Boy Knocks Out Bear. Homer Hill, a 12-year-old boy, was attacked by a large black bear near his home at Waterford, Vt., a few days ago. The boy got away from the animal and threw a cobblestone, striking the bear in the head with such force that the latter fell to the ground and the lad escaped. Youthful Traveler.

Metcalfe, the tal- tated editor Jot the Omaha World: Herald, who, by the way, is a Mis- sour product and grew up to man- 1ood among the sycamores and elms x the “Imperial” state. Under the Atle of “The Cup of Cold Water,” Mr. Metcalfe has touched a chord that Unds response wherever flows the ailk of human kindness, and wher- aver little children clasp hands and ire happy. In a recent issue of the Sunday World Herald ho prints the following from his pen, a portion of which refers to a former Omaha Meth- adist preacher. This preacher was the much-beloved Pastor McQuoid, who one time lived in Kansas, where his widow now resides, but who was salled home from his pastorate in ‘Omaha, a year or so ago: “New York newspapers recently told of @ young man who, after several years of faithful service to his employ- er, absconded with a considerable sum of money, That was the young man’s first misstep, and the employer caused to be inserted in the newspapers an advertisement calling upon the young man to return and promising that he would not be prosecuted, but would be helped out of his duticulties. The young man read the advertisement, re- turned to hig home, made a clean breast of his error, was forgiven by the man whom he had wronged, rein- stated in his position and given every possible encouragement to recover his lost ground. It developed that’ the young man was in financial distress, and in a moment of desperation had used hig employer's money. This in- cident occurred two years ago, and since then this young man has, at least to the satisfaction of his employ- er, justified the magnanimity which that employer showed. | “It will not, of course, do for it to become a matter of general under. standing that a man may embezzle and be forgiven; and yet, there have been, unquestionably, many cases in which the methods used by this New York employer could have been used with advantage by other employers. “The doctrine, ‘I am not my broth- er's keeper,’ is not the doctrine for thoughuul men.

Other things may soothe; prayer «lone can heal. To think, to reason, to receive the sympathy of others, these things may quiet a little the outward pain, but only prayer can touch the seat of the disease, Prayer communes with God, it lifts the soul to God, it warms the cold heart and lights up the dark one, ft solves the doubts, it dispels mists, ft reconciles to God. But as there are many who, at times at least, are not conscious of any special trial, the apostle provides for them also: “Is any merry, let him sing psalms.” We may note in passing that the apostle amid his own life of toil and hardship does not forget that some of his fellow men are merry, and we may note also that his language plain: ly implies that some men under some conditions have a right to be merry. Religion does not counsel perpetual gloom or sadness. It recognizes that its subjects are differently constitut ed and that each one of them has varying moods: It does not expect all to he alike, nor any to be the same at all times, It adapts itself to every character and to every cireumstance, It is intended to moderate, to guide, to hallow not only grief but Joy. And s0, acknowledging that glad ness as well as sorrow has its place, {t tells those who are glad as well as those who are sorrowful what they ought to do, “Is any merry, let him sing psalms.” ‘That is, let him praise God. Let him direct his song of jub- ilee to the skies lest his joy, not be: ing understood nor rightly used, over whelm his soul, Happiness is afftic tion unless we keep God in view Prosperity is full of danger.

Well ix It if in our sorrows we tur to God, But better yet would it be if as readily as the allticted pray, the merry would sing psalms. The lesson before us is that prayer and praise are the corrective, the bal ance, the cheek which we all need up: fon our lives; that without them the experiences of this mortal state have an offect on us utterly disproportioned to their importance; that they alone bind us to God and unite our tempor al interests with those that are eter nal. Depend upon ft, disorders and disturbances of the mind, little or great, come largely from the want of worship; and, a serene, unrufiled spirit can always be attained by communion with God. Place all your interests, then, in His care. Do well your work, use well your influence, and then leave yourself and all yon love with Him Cultivate that nearness to him whieh fits one to bear his lot, to fulfill bis task, to be content, In all time of your tribulation and in all time of your prosperity ask Him to deliver you from the perils that lurk around you, Go to Him allke in gladness and in grief, Bring Him alike your sor row and your Joy, Oh, alflicted one, | pray!

It ts a comforting truth that God so orders and governs the disetplinary trlals of his people as to make those in early life espeetally preparatory to the greater trials whieh are to follow As a general thing, the earlier trials though perhaps considerably sever: are less poignant, prolonged and pain: ful than are the ones which come to the heart in later years. There Is a gradation of trial, thus fitting the tried one for coming and larger trials to endure them with stronger faith and stiffer courage than he would It had not been for the previous trials We have examples of this kind In the history of some of the prominent Oli Testament saints, Abraham was sub Jected to a series of comparatively small trials before the great and ex hausting trial of offering his only son, Isaac, ay a sacrifice. He may have thought that the trials whieh he had been experiencing were particularly severe and, doubtless, some of them were plercing; probably the later ones were keener and more crucial than the former ones were and, henee, they prepared him, as nothing else gould have done, for the terrible trial of offering up isaac, In the ease of Moses, we also see that be expert enced a protracted course of trial Proparatory to his supreme task ant trial of leading Isracl out of Beypt Thay was a painful trial which he underwent just before he fled into the desert, when he killed an Exyp- tian, supposing that he, himself, was going ahead as a deliverer of his poo- ple: but he was not yet prepared aright for the great achievement; he must be tried forty years longer as @ fit preparation for conquest and tr umph, And today those Christians who have achieved marked success in the spheres to whieh God has called them had preparatory. trials. in-line With their coming work and welfare Tho greater trials conneeted with their present positions were preced ed by a series of lesser ones, giving them a drilling of thonght and char- acter which no hall of learning could impart. Let every young Christian welcome all trial as a needed preparation for the further trials which a great work may yet bring to him, Cave eam: anit. “Christ is a savior in many ways," said a woman the other day, “but it seoms to me that more and more as the years go on Lam learning to rece ognize him as a savior from self— the self that is so constantly taking te mistaken view and planning the wrong step.” Did you ever think what ereatnres ot mood We are, and how often mor Didness and bitterness settle down upon us like a tog?

If you believe in honest politics, vote the Republican ticket straight Under the Roosevelt administration there are thirteen Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service. When the chilly days of November come, cover Parker out of sight by your votes for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. There are 1,891 Afro-Americans employed by the District government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate about $850,000. The Afro-Americans will never turn from the Republican party and go over to the Democrats who are daily murdering the people of their race in the South. As soon as McKinley was elected in 1896 confidence was restored and we have had prosperity ever since. Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks and let the good times continue. The Afro-American people know too well what Democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of the Democratic spellbinders. Under the Roosevelt administration there are more than 5,000 Afro-Americans in the public service of the country, and they receive about $3,000,000 in salaries. The American people have a substratum of good sense, and, although they may listen to the Democratic speakers, they will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Hon. J. Milton Turner, ex-minister to Liberia, who has been a Democrat for many years, has returned to the Republican fold. Turner says there is no place in the Democratic party for the black man. Somebody should get out during the next campaign and hustle for the sake of principle. Already we have lost nearly all the rights and privileges ceded us by the Republican party, and that by everlastingly having a hand out for a dollar. Will the negroes again vote for bonds to build school houses? Of course they will. Have they not been voting right straight along? What if white children do get nearly all the benefits? Is not education a good thing for white people? If there is a single trade or industry in this country that is injured by the tariff system, the Democratic party has not been able to point to it.

Well may the governor of Georgia feel alarmed over the lynchings that take place in his state. What a man sows that will he reap. What a harvest must be in store for somebody. It seems a hopeless task to reconcile the Democrats who propose to support their platform to those wh o insist up on supporting the candidates. Why do not the Negro ministers of this city make the right kind of appeal to their people in behalf of the Old Folks and Orphans' home, like they do when they have an ax of their own to grind? They ought to do something, for their poverty-streaked old members have to go out to that home to die. Let us hear from the ministers of the big churches. Some of the leading citizens or this city, and the most generous, as well, complain that negroes are very costly things to have in a community, since it costs about four times as much to keep in subjection the lawless blacks as it does to confine the vicious among the whites. The Department of Justice, under the Roosevelt administration, has unearthed many cases of peonage in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and successfully prosecuted many Southern Caucasians who were holding their Afro-American brethren in bondage. In every instance the offender was a Democrat. The United States, by constitutional amendment, has given the right to vote to every man without regard to race or color; but this enactment of the whole people is nullified by the Democrats of certain Southern states, who declare that only Caucasians shall exercise the rights of suffrage. The Republican party has taken up the matter and made a declaration for reduction of representation in cases where the franchise has been unconstitutionally limited. This will be carried into effect by the next Congress. HE IS SILENT ON LYNCH LAW. Mr. Alton B. Parker, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States has made public his letter of acceptance. Mr. Parker proceeds to touch upon many of the important questions with which this government has to contend, but upon the matter of the horrifying law he is profoundly silent. But then Mr. Parker may not be as brave and as courageous as his opponent, Theodore Roosevelt. CERTAIN ELEMENT OF NEGROES GIVEN RIGHT OF WAY OVER THE LAW. Why is it that a certain element of Negroes of Kansas City are given illegal protection? This is a grave question and one which confronts the good people of this community. It is a well known fact that this city has a large number of good, industrious, and law-abiding negro residents. The question is again asked, why should the desirable element of the Negro race be hampered by that class which comprises the bum, the loafer, the gambler, the tout, the thief, thug and murderer? Within the past few years Negroes who are the products of the above described class have wantonly murdered one another and no attempt has been made to capture them. That these murderers should so easily escape the vigilance of the net is indeed surprising. Something is radically wrong. But how is the community to be rid of the "bad nigger" so long as he is protected by the machine for political purposes? This influence is painfully oppressive to the good element of colored citizens who can do nothing to remedy matters under the present condition of affairs without the assistance of the good element of white citizens. STANDS FOR HUMAN LIBERTY. "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unfit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I am elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations." — President Roosevelt. Liberal-minded women can't keep secrets. Ancient Ann.

CRUEL AMERICAN LYNCH LAW Says the Colliers' in its September number: "The darkest fears are almost justified by so gross, cruel, and unexcused a case of lynching as the last, where two negroes were burned at the stake, although they were under sentence of death. It almost makes us believe that Professor James may have been right when he foresaw burning at the stake on Boston Common. We know nothing in the contemporary history of the world more discouraging. Cruelty in Russia leaves us at least the refuge of belief that it may end with the ignorance of the people and the false system of government. The Georgia disgrace is without one redeeming ray of light. It reminds us of that terrible story of Booker Washington's, which we have told before, of the fair-haired little grl who said, "Mother, I have seen a negro hanged. Now I want to see one burned." The protographer was present here to give the last touch of grotesque horror to the tragic satire. It was undiluted hatred and love of criminal excitement. To compare it with the Spanish Inquisition would be unjust, for the Inquisition at least sought an object. The trial of the negroes had been prompt and their day of execution was near. The brother of the murdered man begged the tigerish human beings to disperse. The crowd merely refused to miss the fun. The time may come when some hopeful side may be seen again. For the present it makes us look upon the future with discouragement and doubt." Wages in the United States, on the average, are more than twice those in Belgium, three times those in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, and one and one-half those in England and Scotland. There is no better time than right now for parents, teachers and ministers to begin a crusade against the use of firearms. Begin with the toy gun. Give it no place in your home. What is begun in fun is often carried on to a serious issue. Ministers, urge mothers to teach their children the value of life and the sacredness of home. Begin early to teach them to curb their tempers and subdue their passions. Teach them that it is their duty sometimes to give up a just claim for the sake of peace. Teach them that self should not be put before everything else. Teach them that self-government makes civil government easy. When we have learned some of these things, young men will not shoot to death their sweethearts, fathers will not blow out the brains of their wives right in the presence of their children; neither will young women commit suicide because a lover has proven faithless, nor lawyers back up arguments with guns. We are fast becoming a lawless, Godless set of people. There must be a check. The fully of that handful of negroes calling themselves Lincoln Republicans, in making a spectacle on themselves before the civilized world by even suggesting the nomination of a negro for president, will do much toward making for us a host of enemies among those who are already jealous of the privileges we have. The negro has not learned to govern his home or his church. These things come first. When we have discipline at home and sufficient bank account to permit us to live ween upon our income, then may we cast about for a position of honor, that takes thousands of dollars a year to keep it up. Let us busy ourselves in securing good homes, in getting on foot business enterprises where the boys and girls may find employment, in seeking to overcome the malice and spite and envy that so long have divided our efforts and made the best among us little more than the worst. No, the need of theue hour—the crying need—is not a negro president, but more negroes that are breadwinners for their families, noble examples of manhood to their sons and protectors of the virtue of wife and daughters. PECULIAR FACTS. It does not matter what a white publisher says in his paper concerning a Negro, the Negro subscribes for the paper and pays for it every week. If the white publisher should tell the Negro to stick his head in the fire and burn it off, he would promptly obey, and his friends buy the paper and pay for it. The time has come for the Negroes to consider these things. Subscribe and pay for journals run by colored publishers, and thus enable the journals to say more about the race. ROOSEVELT. Somehow, when we heard of his nomination at the late Republican convention we felt a premonition that at the proper time his election to the chief office of the United States would follow. Be that as it may, our desire is that such will be the case, and that another four years of prosperity will be ours to enjoy. This may sound or read a little premature, but all the same we feel that Theodore Roosevelt, the present incumbent, will most assuredly occupy the exalted seat another term. So far as the colored race is concerned, we feel sure that as a race and American citizens, they will receive justice at his hands. In the past, Roosevelt has been friendly, considerate, and as to the future, we have no fears, but rather an abiding faith. Roosevelt is a literary statesman, a man who thinks and then acts, with the precision of a skilled marksman. In the affairs of state he is "at home," and we believe well qualified to sustain and guide the things on hand to a successful issue. At least it is the aim and ambition of the Rising Son to work faithfully and steadily for the cause and elect good men to positions of honor and trust. The fact is conceded by Republicans and citizens that the county ticket nominated last Saturday at Convention hall is strong in every particular. It is made up of good, thorough and able business men. J. P. Louis Dry Goods, Millinery and Shoes Furnishing Goods 1413-1415 East 18th Street.

M. C.," which convenes October 4, 5, 6, and 7. The citizens of Columbus, both colored and white, are making great preparations for the entertainment of the delegates and from present indications will number between 800 and 900 men. Every state in the Union will be represented, as well as representatives from the lodges of West Indies, Cuba, Africa, Hawaii, Central and South America. The Missouri delegates will have a private car out of St. Louis, Mo., over the Vandalia, attached to a special train composed of delegates from the Southwestern states. The Missouri delegation has a twofold position in view, and expect to secure the re-election of George E. Temple of St. Louis, Mo., to the honored position of Deputy Grand Master of the order in America, who is also Grand Secretary of the State of Missouri. Mr. Temple is one of the representative Negroes of St. Louis, being a bookkeeper in the water department of that city, a position he has held for twelve years, and the only Negro clerk on that city's pay roll. Dr. Smith is the only Negro in the state of Missouri that owns and controls two drug stores. SUCCESS. Success depends upon several things, but upon no one thing more than the knowledge of how to do a thing. One drawback to the building up of business enterprises is the desire that most have of doing whatever they see any on else working at with any degree of success. They never stop to think of the hours of toil or the years of discipline it took to make that one's work seemingly easy. All they want is a chance, but no sooner is the chance given and a difficulty arises, than they drop the thing they so much desired and another project goes to the wall. Mrs. V. L. North has purchased a fine modern home at 1816 Woodland avenue. The house is heated by furnace, with bath accommodations.

THE MINISTER'S DUTY. The minister of the Gospel is one o the great leaders of the people. It is his duty to give them sound advice and direct them in the right way in this world as well as to point out the way to the life everlasting. In the present campaign it is the duty of every Afro-American preacher who has the true interests of his race at heart to explain to his people the issues as they affect the Afro-American. He should show that the Democratic party has always been the bitter foe of the race, and has invariably opposed every measure proposed by the Republican party to better the race's condition. Remember, you are never too far to patronize Smith. He will take your order over the phone and deliver your goods free of charge to any part of the city. COTTAGE FOR SALE.

Among the people of the east a dream is considered to be a direct revelation from God, and there are, in the Orient, even to-day, soothsayers, or fortune tellers, who interpret dreams, just as the soothsayers did in bible times, and from dreams tell the future of the dreamer.

Less than fifty years ago it was the custom in all well-regulated homes to make Saturday a day of preparation for the Sabbath. Extra baking was done. The home was put into good order, the shades were drawn, and mother and children, after making themselves tidy, assembled in one room, the children to study their Sabbath school lesson, the mother to do this little thing or that. Can you not bring to your mind such a peaceful scene and can you wonder that the girls brought up after this fashion grew into home loving young women and made desirable wives and mothers? Their mothers were not compelled to rack their brains continually to furnish excitement for them or deny themselves actual necessities to give them carfare and tickets to the theater. How many mothers stop to think when they start their daughters off to a play, what sort of influence that play is gong to make upon a young mind, or how the excitement will work up the nerves of her child and unfit her for study, how her growth will be retarded or her mind polluted by wicked words and sinful sights. Yet, mothers send their little girls to the play on Saturday afternoon, because these little girls have not been taught to be happy anywhere else. They,(the mothers),stay at home and delve and work, thinking that some day they will get their reward by seeing Mary and Maud shine in society. And Mary or Maud will shine, too, if there happens to be born in them enough good to overcome the lessons in treachery, debauchery and crime, that their loving mothers sent them to the theater to learn. There are good plays, but few of the children of this generation take any delight in seeing them. Save your money and your children, too. Then, to the young woman who has spent half of Saturday night in the theater wrought up to a high pitch of excitement, the church services next morning are very tame by comparison. The playhouse is a poor place in which to make preparation for a real Sabbath, and no better a place for the training of home-makers. THE RISING SON.

Richard Merton, head of the shipping firm of Merton & Co., prospered and grew obese with his good fortune. His progress westward had at length culminated in a pretentious mansion in the charming suburb of Richmond, where he looked forward to spending the rest of his days in placid contentment. It pleased him to provide a liberal hospitality and to surround himself with good company. bery she added quickly: "But of course it can't be his." The detective said nothing, but gave her a sharp, penetrating glance. The warm, breathless afternoon was almost at an end and in his comfortable bachelor chambers at Lancaster terrace, West Kensington, Herbert Hendley was entertaining his friend, Dr. George Wallace, who sat at his ease meditatively smoking a cigar and Among the crowd of guests on this particular evening was a young man, tall and muscular, with a flowing mustache and distinguished features. Herbert Hondley had never yet taken life very seriously. He had had thoughts of entering of one of the professions, but hitherto his modest income had sufficed for immediate needs and he had procrastinated. He had met the Mertons at a house party in Scotland and had gladly accepted an invitation to renew the acquaintance on his return to the metropolis. He had now been several times to the house and was fast establishing a reputation as a constant visitor. His attention was directed to the farther end of the room, where a portly, pompous individual was chatting with the charming Geraldine. "It is stifling here. Would you not like to take a turn on the terrace?" he asked when he reached her side. "Thank you, it is warm," she assented. "It is a perfect night," he said enthusiastically. "Yes, it is very pleasant," and she smiled at his earnestness. "Do you remember our excursion up the mountain side in Scotland and how we got caught in the Scotch mist?" he mused. "And how you wrapped me up in your great coat?" she exclaimed. "Am I likely to forget it? What an object I must have looked!" And she laughed musically. "Well, it was then." "What was then?" she asked softly as he stopped, seemingly lost in reverie. "That I first loved you," he burst forth. "I had not intended to speak to night. I have no right; I am a poor man," and he smiled bitterly. "But I love you, Geraldine; you are dearer to me than my own life. If you could wait, dearest, till I am in a position to marry I would work hard to make an income. Am I asking too much?" "You can not ask me too much," she said simply, glancing up at him with the lovelight shining in her blue eyes. He caught her to his breast and kissed her lips again and again. Then straining her to him he, whispered, "My darling, you have made me happy." There was considerable commotion in the Merton household on the following morning. A robbery had been committed during the night. Mr. Merton communicated with the police and called in the aid of a private detective. Then the housemaid made a discovery. While attending to her duties in Mrs. Merton's room she found a man's gold cuff link. It was passed from A "You cannot ask me too much." hand to hand and scrutinized closely.

"Preposterous to be made out a common thief, a burglar, a house breaker, and accused of robbing the father of the girl I love. It's—it's perfectly monstrous." "It is certainly a trifle awkward," commented George with a smile. "Yes, yes," interposed George, raising his hand deprecatingly, "all that may safely be left to the imagination. Suppose we confine ourselves to the simple facts of the case. You see, at present I only know that you love Geraldine Merton, which shows a pretty taste on your part, and that Mr. Merton accuses you of committing a burglary." "Well, the story is soon told. It appears that during the night some thieves broke into the Mertons' place and made off with £5,000 worth of jewelry. A nice little haul. As I told you, I had intended looking up old Merton this evening to ask his paternal blessing in the matter of Geraldine. Imagine my surprise, therefore, when a private detective chap called on me about midday and without too much euphemism charged me with committing the theft, informing me that if I would return the jewelry he thought no further steps would be taken in the matter. I need scarcely say I was dumfounded for the moment." "No—o—" said George, thoughtfully. "How do you account for the presence of your cuff link in the room?" "Dashed if I know, except—" "No—o—" "Well, there's the possibility when I was with Geraldine it might have dropped." "I see—dropped into the folds of her dress, and she carried it into the room and deposited it unconsciously upon the floor." "It's the only way I can think of." "What do you want me to do in the matter?" asked George, steadily puffing at his elgar. "I thought you wouldn't mind acting as go-between and explain the affair to Merton." "Hum! Tell him a prospective son-in-law is scarcely likely to rob his prospective father-in-law? Eh?" "Well—er—hang it all, man—it's preposterous." "Quite so, but the cuff link is nasty evidence. However, much depends upon the circumstances of the robbery. Look here, Bert, I won't promise to see you through, but I'll interview Merton and do the best I can for you." Upon going down to breakfast at the Merton house a trifle late the next morning Dr. Wallace found his host in a state of considerable perturbation. Nothing, however, was said until the meal was finished and they had retired to the library. "Most extraordinary thing!" burst forth Mr. Merton, as soon as he had closed the door. "I found this neck- lace," producing it from his pocket, "one of the stolen articles, on my dressing table this morning." "Yes, I know," said Dr. Wallace. "You know!" exclaimed Mr. Merton, staring in astonishment at his companion. "What do you mean? You put—" "No. It was never in my possession." "But—how—did—it—come—there?" "The thief put it there." "The thief!" "Yes, so far as there is any theft in the matter. The fact is the jewels have never been out of the house." "Never been out of the house!" cried Mr. Merton. "I—don't understand." "The explanation is simple. You are a sleep-walker, Mr. Merton, and have hidden the jewels yourself." Mr. Merton declared there was no occasion for the young people to wait, and expressed his intention of behaving handsomely toward them. Things Animals Know. "It is a queer thing the way animals learn the meaning of certain words," said Mr. W. T. Reeves of Little Rock. "I remember as a boy a certain old gray mare that belonged to our family, which one of my older brothers had ridden the whole time of his service in the confederate army. She was a magnificent saddle animal, and ordinarily as gentle as a lamb, but if any one ventured to say, when on her back, 'look out, the Yankees are coming!' she would proceed to bolt at the top of her speed as though terror stricken, and it was a difficult thing to quiet her down. I suppose the words had in some way been borne in upon her equine intelligence during the conflict, and they must have had some frightful meaning. "Once I addressed them to her, to my sorrow, for, suddenly wheeling, she left the road and plunged into a thick piece of woodland, with the result that a projecting limb knocked me senseless to the ground. After that, when astride the old mare, I studiously avoided all reference to the Yankees." -Washington Post. Rather a Puzzler While stumping the state during the last gubernatorial campaign, Gov. Frazier of Tennessee entered the office of a village hotel, where he discovered a corpulent German seated at a table, writing. Suddenly the Teuton paused in his task, frowned, scratched his head, chewed the end of his pen, and looked so obviously worried that Mr. Frazier good-naturedly asked: "My friend, can I be of any service to you?" "Yah," was the prompt and relieved reply; "please tell me vedder you put an e' behindt 'before?'" It was several seconds before the affable candidate grasped the man's meaning and gave the desired information.—New York Times. Giving Out Information. Charles S. Mellen, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, was accosted in the ticket office one time by a testy individual, who seemed to be making his first visit to New York. Taking Mr. Mellen for a ticket agent, he asked shortly, "Where's Gorham?" "What Gorham?" said Mr. Mellen pleasantly, without enlightening the man as to his identity. "Gorham, Mass., Gorham silver, or what?" "It's your business to know where 'tis, I should think," replied the irascible hayseed. "Well," said Mr. Mellen, thoughtfully. "Gore 'em ought to be near Bull's Head"—New York Times. The Resemblance. Some years ago William T. Smedley boarded in the same house with a young man who prided himself on his likeness to the artist—though, truth to tell, he was very plain, while Mr. Smedley was quite handsome. One morning at breakfast he turned to Mr. Smedley and said: "Do you know, I am thought very like you?" "Indeed," was the answer, "I cannot see any resemblance." "Well, give me a good look now and tell me who I am like." The artist looked at him steadily for a few moments, and then replied: "You look only like the boarding-house martyr at the steak."—New York Times. Love in the Daisies Love went where the daisies seemed Sweeter than the dreams he dreamed; Rested in the meadows fair- Saying: "All of Life is here! let me sleep! Let me sleep! I shall never wake to weep!" And the stars looked down and kissed Love's gold hair, in dreamy mist- Sweets the dawnning Day: Hasky put up his arm. But the Dawn was cruel kind— Kiss me and Sleep made blind— kiss the heart the data knew Where the thorns in crime grew! Oh, Silence deep! Oh, Night, and Sleep! God guard the days where Love must weep! A Parable. A woman lost two little charms, the joint gift of God and a good man. She hunted long for them. She searched in parlor, in ballroom and in theater. She crowded men from the great, gaint buildings where they earned their bread and hunted there for her lost jewels. She did things that made the world take a quick little breath, and then call her a "good fellow." But she found them not. Weary and worn she went back to the beginning, and there, in kitchen and nursery, she found the two "white stones," and written on one was "happiness" and on the other "love."—Chicago Record-Herald. HUMOUR of the Secret of Success. "My success as a fiction writer," remarked the man with the ink stained fingers, "has enabled me to pile up quite a large bank balance."

Once upon a time the "confidence games" of the world met to organize an association for mutual improvement, and the gathering was one of the largest ever known. The interest manifested was intense, and the meeting promised to be a great success. But trouble arose over the selection of a presiding officer. Every "game" present claimed the honor. The wrangling proceeded for many weary hours, and there seemed to be great danger that the proposed organization would fall through lack of harmony. Finally, after nearly every "game" present had presented its claims to recognition, an unusually large one appeared on the scene. "Cease this wrangling, friends," it said. "I have but to announce who I am in order to settle this controversy. The mere mention of my name will convince you that I am entitled to be 'it' in this august assembly." "Well, who are you?" queried an unusually large "game." "Sir," was the loud reply, "I am an infant Industry." Recognizing the superior claim the other "games" humbly bowed and the infant Industry was given the seat of honor and command.—Will Maupin in Bryan's Commoner. Eata Poisons. Hermann Bodenheim, chemist, laughs at polisons. "I will eat anything you mention," he says. You invite him to make a meal off cyanide of potassium. He consents. Carbolic acid is like nectar.

Jersey Shore, Pa., Sept. 26 (Special) —"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for me." That whats Mrs. C. B. Earnest of this place has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy. "I was laid up stck," Mrs. Earnest continues, "and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and now I am so I can work and go to town without suffering any. I would not be without Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have good reason to praise them everywhere." Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson is, "cure the kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills and your suffering will cease." Woman's health depends almost entirely on her kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet failed to make healthy kidneys. Oysters Don't Breed Disease. The Frankfurter Zeitung of August 1, 1904, contains correspondence from Paris stating that last year a veritable campaign was waged against oysters, which were said to especially transmit typhus and various other bacillus. The Journal Officiel now publishes the report of Prof. Alfred Giard, in the name of the sea fishery commission, appointed by the secretary of the navy, which clears the oyster of all charges, and expressly declares that they are entable at all seasons, as they cannot transmit any disease to human beings. Great Catch of Whales From some unknown cause whales are unusually plentiful on the west coast of Shetland, and the steam whalers are reaping big harvests. It is only a few days since a big drive of whales, resulting in the slaughter of fifty, was recorded, and now it is reported that the week's operations have resulted in the killing of no fewer than 104. Among those killed were one sperm whale and one humpback, both very scarce in that region. African King Coming. The alake of Abeakuta, a muscular African king who created a sensation a month or so ago in England, heard so many wonderful things about America while in King Edward's realm that he has determined, after returning to his native home, to pay a visit to America.

Seedless Grapes. George B. Snively, a horticulturist, of Washington county, Md., has succeeded in producing a seedless grape. He hopes to finally be able to grow the new grape to a large size. Several years ago he began grafting various varieties of grapes with a definite end in view, and this year one vine, which is well developed, has a number of bunches of grapes on it which are without seeds. The vine also bears grapes containing seeds, but each year that the vine has borne fruit the number of seedless bunches has steadily increased, and Mr. Snively believes that ultimately the grapes will be all without seeds. The seedless grapes, while smaller in size than the ones containing seeds, are of superior flavor. Try me just once and I am sure to come again. Defiance Starch.

It is unusual that a single institution in a city of 8,000 people will overshadow in importance every other interest, but such is the case with the American School of osteopathy, and A. T. Still Infirmary at Kirksville, Mo. A stranger in Kirksville is immediately impressed by the idea that the towa is sustained by this institution, in fact, Kirksville has been made what it is to-day by Dr. Still and his famous School and Infirmary. It is the largest patronized unendowed institution of its kind in the United States. Dr. Still's school enrolls over 700 students yearly and each student is required to attend a team of the wards each completing the course of study. There are over 2,000 graduates and they are practicing in every state and territory of the Union. About two-thirds of the states have passed special laws legalizing the science. This school teaches every branch taught in medical colleges except "drugs" and osteopathy. That is the teaching in anatomy that over one hundred human bodies are dissected nearly by the students. At the Inferinary, patients from every part of the country and with almost every form of disease are constantly under treatment. For the past fifteen years almost every train coming to Kirksville has brought some new sufferer hoping to find relief by the science of Ostecopathy. By the time they have left the institution benefited by the treatment, the science has been heralded to the world as a safe and rational method of cure. Several years ago a free clinic was established in connection with the practice department of the school and this is still in operation. Hundreds of the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for treatment, are treated every afternoon by the senior students free of charge.

Politics were working like a can of Aunt Polly's preserves in D——, when the cub reporter secured a "sit" on the Morning Fog Horn and was sent out to get the great Danville's speech for early copy. Danville was a friend of the paper and a good fellow. When the cub found him at the Burris Hotel, he said yes, in Barkis-is-willin' mood, and summoned a stenographer. While the steno made curleycues, the cub sat on the foot of a sofa in Danville's room and wondered when he would be great and influential like Danville. The speech being transcribed, the reporter proceeded to interject into the copy at divers closing paragraphs the words: "Great applause!" "Demonstration in the audience!" Demonstration in the audience. "Uproarious commendation!" and the like. Then he handed in the manuscript and went out to the sinker counter to allay the hunger within him. Now Danville was a much admired speaker, but a lesser light than either the gubernatorial candidate or the local chairman (?) both of whom talked long and dryly at the evening "rally." Despite the fact that many people had driven in from the rural districts to hear Danville, who was last on the program, it was soon evident that he would not be heard except very briefly. Thus there was uneasiness in the nauseated throng and disintegration of the compact body as the farmers "pulled their freight" for pastoral haunts. To further embarrass, there was to be a politicians' banquet at the leading hotel following the speeches and this must not be delayed too long. Danville, much chagrined, but tactful, settled the fidging by calmly referring to the lateness of the hour and withdrawing to his hotel. The cub reporter, busier than he had ever been with the Cross Roads Advocate, was throwing off copy in bales, while all this was happening. On his way to the hotel, however, he stopped in the office of the Fox Horn and hastily shouting up the tube to the city editor, to revise "that Danville speech," hurried to the banquet hall. He was visibly excited over his political affiliations when he returned to the office, but he obeyed instructions when the city editor blurted: "Sutton, write a caption to that Danville article. Say you met him in the rotunda of the hotel and he spoke on the issues of the day as follows!" The cub retired at 4 o'clock that morning feeling he had earned at least a part of his stipend that night. But his sense of security and gratification was visibly jarred next morning! When he read the Fog Horn he discovered: There was the caption to Danville's speech all "O K," just as he had written it—Danville in the rotunda of the hotel talking to the reporter—and then— Horrors! In the body of the article were those interjections standing out as boldly as a blue and red polka-dot wrapper at a Sunday school picnic: "Great applause!" "Demonstration in the audience!" "Cheers!" And all this, when the great Danville was talking to a "mere reporter" in a hotel lobby! The cog had slipped! This incident happened during the year of the big wind and was, curiously, about the time that the cub blew out of the Fog Horn office to test his ability to swim on other bladders in untreated seas of prospective glory. It is not wise to throw bricks ever when out of the glass house district. In an Illinois town a bootblack annoyed a man at the depot. The man, protesting, angered the vender of shines who threw a brick at him. The target unfortunately, was the superintendent of the road, and he issued an order to keep all bootblacks, newsboys and other peddlers, off the platforms. If you want the news at this station now you have to ask the voluble (?) ticket agent for it—with the usual results.

Miss Nellie Holmes, treasurer of the Young Woman's Temperance Association of Buffalo, N. Y., strongly advises all suffering women to rely, as she did, upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINHAM: Your medicine is indeed an ideal woman's medicine, and by far the best I know to restore lost health and strength. I suffered misery for several years, being troubled with menorrhagia. My back ached, I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. I would often wake from restful sleep, and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. I consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me, I tried your Vegetable Compound on the recommendation of a friend from the East who was visiting me. "I am glad that I followed her advice, for every ache and pain is gone, and not only this, but my general health is much improved. I have a fine appetite and have gained in flesh. My earnest advice to suffering women is to put away all other medicines and to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." -Miss NELLIE HOLMES, 540 No. Division St., Buffalo, N.Y.

I have been very pleased indeed with the relief it has brought me. I find that I have perfect health now, and that my mind is also more clear and active since I used your Vegetable Compound. It has been of great benefit to me, and I gladly recommend it. Very sincerely yours. Miss IRENE Crosby, 313 East Charlton St., East Savannah, Ga."
