PARKER of New York. For \ ice-President HENRY G. DAVIS of West Virginia It is unofficially stated that Sam Ralsk u has a real boom on for governor. If such is the case it will bear cultivation, and should thrive and grow into a nomination. A number of republican papers claim that it is impossible to tell where Parker is “at.” Well, if they will lie patient thev will find him at the White House. Washington. D. C., after March 4.1905. He will be there at least four vears. Muncie Herald. The Chicago Chronicle’s republicanized announcement yesterday, contained more contradictory idiocy than anything that was ever conceived in a human mind, and condensed for consumption through the medium of a newspaper. In short the Chronicle says that because William J. Bryan was too big a democrat to bolt his party, the Chronicle will. The Chronicle Las always been worse than a populist disturber, and it is good riddance of bad rubbish. The newspaper writers who have been busy naming the next democratic national chairman in case Indiana's favorite son is not so honored, have been doing some bad guessing. They have named Belmont and Shehan as sure winners, even Walter Welman having been caught napping. The Democrat will enlighten the boys by saying that should the Hon. T. Taggart fail, the chairman will be Mr. Maurice M. Minton whose home is at Flatbush. New Yorks prettiest suburb and in whose mind was first conceived the idea of making Judge Alton B. Parker a presidential nominee. Not only that, but it was Mr. Minton who laid the plans and who was the leader in carrying them into effect even after the arrival of the Parker forces at St. Louis. Belmont. Shehan and even the mighty Hill took their cues from Maurice M Minton. That being true who will be national chaiman perchance our own dear Tom T. is not favored. Use a little logic and as Dale Crittenberger says “figger”. The democracy hare to look to the east for success at the polls, and for the loss of the Chicago Chronicle—if it is a loss —we have gained a dozen newspapers iu the east who hare, especially in the past two campaigns, supported the republican ticket. Among them the New York World now says: “In Alton B. Parker the democratic party has a leader who leads. A thousand letters of ac- i ceptance discussing a thousand political issues could not have re realed Judge Parker to the American people in so favorable and convincing light as he himself did in that crowded hour of Saturday when be sent to William F. Sheehan the telegr am that emancipated the democratic par ty. The party can now enter upon the campaign with courage and hope. It has a candidate who is the amtithesis of Rooeevelt in tempeiament and opinion, and quite the equal of the strenuous president in moral courage and political sagacitv. The World aalutee Judge Parker and con gratulatee the democratic party upou this happy deliverance from a grave danger. Louisville Ky. for round ♦rip acct. Biennial Encampment Knight* of Pythias.

I_, - — BILLIARD CUES. The Variety That May Be Fount la Style*. Wood and Price*. Billiard cues vary greatly in weight and price, according to the woods use,l in their making. The tops of all good cues are made of maple wood. The ma- ’ pie is seasoned In the open air for from six to twelve months and kiln dried to prevent warping after the cue' are finished. The butts are made of : ebony, sapote. mahogany, rosewood. I cocoaboio. tulip, amarant ami snakei wood, the different woods being used to secure the proper weight. Ebony is the heaviest wood. The cost of these various woods, except the snakewood and ebony, is the same. Ebony 1 and snakewood bring a slightly Increased price. The la st cues are those of natural balance—that is. that are weighted by the clear wood and are not loaded or bored, although some players prefer the loaded or bored cues and have them constructed to suit their taste. There is a l"rce choice in cue tips—flat tips, round tips, narrow tips and broad tips—but there is no real differi enee between them, it being all a matter of what each player fancies. The ■ only tip which has any advantage over the others is the removable tip. which I can l>e unscrewed from the cue and replaced when out of order without any delay or annoyance. The leather used j in cne tips is calfskin taken from the head just back of the ears, where the leather is both thick and soft No other It .t her wouid do. as it is either too thin or too hard. The French calfskin Is considered slightly better than the American, bnt there is not much choice ! between them. The regular cues cost from ."0 cents t< $lO. the difference in price being due to the inlaid fancy woods, pearl or ivory name plates, ivory joints and tips, cord wound about the grip, ornamented butts and other similar additions. The jointed cues are made most- ; ly for travel, and the l --st cr-s are n >t jointed unless so ordered, as the jointed cues are not so strong as the single piece cues. To off-et the perspiration of the hands and to afford a better grip the butts of the more expensive cues are cord wound or have ornamental corrugations. The cues given for prizes at tournaments are han ’some affairs, inlaid with different colored woods, with a name plate of pearl, and cost from sls to s2°. Some cues have "been given for prizes nt the leading clnl s that have had gold name ;■!:■•.•< and hare cost as mm h as SCO.—New York Times. Polltenew* of Mexican I hlldren. In M utico a group of lads from seven to twelve will meet, and each boy will decorously lift his hat. ami salutations of extreme courtesy will be exchanged. and then come the boyish chatter, the run and the laughter, the same as anywhere. Boys there treat their elders with respect. An old man or woman is not the butt of the youth of Mexico. Rather for the old peo: Ie are reserved the shadiest seats un ier the trees in the park. A Mexican boy or girl on entering a room walks around among the company, shaking hands with all. and on leaving tne room does the same. Urbanity Is taught in the public schools as arithmetic is at Lome. There is no one Jostled on the street. The best seat in the horse car is promptly given up to ladies, who never fail gracefully to acknowledge the favor. I have never seen a Mexican gentleman fail to give his seat to a woman, whether she was richly or poorly dressed.—Rural Home. — Crab* Thfil Eat (ornanat* Crabs which live upon cocoa nats which they pick for themselves are feund In the Coral islands. Nature has provided this crustacean with claws and nippers of enormous strength, and it is supposed that the crab climbs the cocoa palms and detaches the nut*. It reaches the meat of the fruit oy picking and rapping with its claws at the end of the nut where the three small holes are to be found till a slight bre-o-h' is made. Then the nippers are brought into use for the rough fibers which surround the sheih These be shreds with his nippers ami conveys to his burrows, where they form a comfortable bed for the crab while he is chancing his coat. Some of these crabs attain a length of over two feet and live in holes which . they have made in the earth at t'«e roots of tropical trees. Bair In the Adirondack*.

FAMOUS BATTLE SONGS. Two Inttanee* Uhprr the Tide Was Turned by Staging Them. There are tw ■> instances on rec >rd of I a battle being won by a war song. In the fifth century Germanus bishop of I Auxerre, anil Lupus, bishop of Troyes, were sent into Britain to refute the I doctrines of Peiagius. During their stay in thi< island the r . ts . nd Sc- ts. nearing that the Roman legion bad j been withdrawn, commenced hostilities and drove the Britons from the northern to the more southern parts of the island.

HAWTHORNE'S WORKS. The Hick Mnadard They Have Set For American Literature. Two things are'to be remembered when Hawthorue’* name is mentioned. First, the glory be reflects upon American literature Little has been done by us in letters or art that is quite of the highest order except the works of Hawthorne. These have the clear promise of perpetuity. The themes are of supreme and universal moment. He rises to their meaning and del lets them ;in commensurate form. He is not a preacher to cry aloud, but an artist who p ints, yet not without a heart that thn i s in i ity and a fancy that muses over the wonder of it and wiil not suffer the pall of darkness to hang over it forever. That we have in Haw- | ihonie an author whose work in these high fields of thought is clowned with unimpeachable honor and is sure of per l »etual remembrance is a constant satisfaction as years go by. But Hawthorne has a wider claim upon our graliiude—namely, the fact i that be has set the sea! of glorious achieveuieut iu letters upon the moral laws of our nature. The greatest things done in literature have been of this sort. They alone, from Job down, are remembered and cherished in the ages. Hawthome is our only exponent of genius in this field, and how superbly has he filled it! Hi* message is that of Dante and St. Paul and all great moralists—whatever a man does to another be doe* to himself, whether it be good or eviL Men will forever dwell is this truth and wiil never forget those gifted souls who sev ft clearly and set it forth in perfect forms of literary art.—Century.

WHAT IS CATARRH ? Hyomei Only Guaranteed Care for This Common and Disagreeable Disease. Hyomei cures catarrh by h » simple method of breathing it into the air passages and lungs. It kills the germs of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes the irritated mucous membrane and effectually drives this disease from the system. If you have any of the following symptoms, catarrhal germs are at work somewhere iu the mucocs membrane of the throat, bronchial tubes or tissues of the lungs. ffen#ive breath huskiness of voice drvn-" f se difebartre frum a M pain the ty * stoppage of the nese pain in back of toe at night aching of the l«ody pa nin front of the droppings in throat head mouth open while tendency to take cold s eeplng bumink' pain in ic UckHrg beck of the th'Gkqt pala’e hawking to clear lie formation of crusts In tnro.t the nose pa o in the chest driness of the throat a congh in the morning s itch in the «ide lo*- of strength losing <«f fie>h *pa‘m- of coughing variable appetite couch short and hacklow spiri'ed at times ire raising us frothy mu- congh worse nights cous n « rnirgs expectorating yellow hrs* in vital fore** r alter a feeling ot tightness d’fticut’y tn br atbing across the upper frequent sneezing part of the cheat Hyomei will destroy activity of all eatarrbdl germs in the respiratory or gans and in a few weeks the cure will be complete.

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST. MANY SEEKING HOMES WHERE LANDS ARE CHEAP AND CLIMATE IS MILD. Low Rates for Homeseekers and Colonists Twice a Month. Many farmers in the Northern and Eastern states are selling their high priced lands and locating in the Southwest—in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Manv who have been unable to own their homes in the older country are buying land at the low prices prevailing in the new country—ss. $lO, sls per acre and up. These lands are mostly cut-over timber lands, some of them possessing a deep rich soil producing corn, wheat, oats, clover, cotton, fruit and vegetables. Well improved farms are scattered throughout this country. Many places with small clearings and some improvements can be bought very cheap. Our descriptive literature gives a fairly good idea of this country. It tells about the soil, crops, clhuate, people, schools, churches, water and health. It contains maps showing locations of counties, towns, railways and streams, and gives names and addresses of real estate dealers in the towns. Reduced rates for homeseekers and colonists are in effect first and third Tuesdays of each month, byway of St. Louis, Cairo or Memphis and the Cotton Belt Route.
