There were six men in the party, and they had three dogs with them. They hunted in couples, each two having a dog. Shooting was good, aud from each of the three couples the sound of guns being fired notified their friends of their success, for they were only a short distance apart. Each couple were somewhat Indignant because, whenever a duck fell, their own dog failed to get It, one dog seeming to secure almost every one of the wild fowls. At lunch time they all came together. “Well, what luck?” was the genera] greeting. “Elegant, but your dog got our ducks,” was the universal response. Then they looked at each other while from out the little bay glided a skiff loaded with ducks, In the forward end of which sat the dog that had gathered them In.

Don’t Snub the Children.
One afternoon recently I stepped into a store, says an observant woman, to purchase some needed urtioles. Ther > were customers already in the store, and immediately after my entrance the door opened to admit two tiny mites of humanity, who came in timi ly hand in hand. Theolerk m charge had j ist finished with the first customers, and turning to mecourteou.lv inquired if I would exeu.e him if he waited on the children first, “for,"he said “I 1 1 ways feel -nxi ms to send children home as soon as possible so their mothers won’t go; worried i,bout them * Now, in common with many other mothers, I have often felt quite anxious over the long absence of a child sent on an errand, eften sent ior some little article nood d in a hurry, and how often the reao ou of the delay has beou “They would not wait on me until all the big folkr were gone."

The Democratic State Convention will convene at Indianapolis next Wednesday, June 24th While the exports of American manufactured products will be the largest in the historv of the country this y»ar under the Wilson tariff, the value of th»goods im ported into this country ia smallei than during either year that the MoKinley tariff was in operation. In 1892 the foreigners flood'd our markots with $355,(100,000 of dutiable goods; in 1893 with $400,000,900 worth of like goods, while in 1894nndei the Wilson tariff Put $354,000,000 woit was imported, The value this year will be even less. A big iron company at Binning am* Ala., has ju»t closed a oontraot with a foundry company at Genoa, Italy, forsoo ton |of pig iron, to be used i . making steel. Another Alabama fnrnaoe expects to ‘ell in Italy 50,000 tons of its yearly output hereafter. These Alabama manufacturers of pig iron compete with and undersell English manufacture rs. Notwithstanding the fact that Alabama iron is displacing the English pig in the European markets, and that this particular infanl industry" needs protection abou’ as much as a stalwart miner needs a nursing bottle, yet in the f oe of this demonstration, and of the shipments of Amer. ioan armor plates to Russia and American rails to Japan tho cohorts of McKinley'!m i are gathei ing at St. Louis to shout for “more protection.”
Subdued and Reflective.
The bosses of the g.o.p. are not so confidant of carrying the c ,untry with ahurrah as they were six months ago. A distinguished coirespondent of a Republican newspaper savs that the Bt. Louis convention re -iuds one of a funeral procession. “Men who have been attending national conventions for a long time,” he says, “declares that this comes nearer being a funeral procession than any onvention they ever attended. Thoy say it is not the so it of convention the Re üblican party ought to have this year with the tide coming its way so strong. The burdon of the complaint is that there is not anything to enthuse the party; nothing to send its representatives back into the States with’their ■ leaves rolled up ready for work. That old watchword “protection” seems to hare lost its charm. One in ths crowd d corridors for hoars and he will n.t hear the word mentioned. 11 has become quite plain to the men wl o ar* running things that the men. ey question is the question and they have not been able to see yet how the grand old party is going to v ork itself np into an

The Truth of History.
History must record the truth. The country had not “ample revenue and g< neral prosperity" under the McKinley tariff and the Republican silver law supported by him. During the Harrisou-Mc-Kinley regime a treasury surplus of $88,000,000, an annual .surplus of $100,000,000 and an excess of $98,000,000 in the gold reserve all disappeared. During the last four months of the Harrison adminis* tration the public expenditures exceeded the receipts $5,810,549, and go low was the cash ba auce and the gold reserve that Secretary Foster near the end of his term ordered the plates prepared for an issue of bonds to replenish both. This was avoided by a seizure of the national bank redemption fund, by nolding up payments on appros priations and bv securing s*-,250,-000 in gold from certain bankers in New York in exchange for greenbacks." The raid of the Billion-Dollar Coi gross had stripp’d the treasury, the distrust caused by the silverpurchase and inflation act had im paired the gold reserve, and the cu' in revenues by the McKinley tariff had ere ted a deficiency before the Democrats came into power. The panic, caused by the unwise legislation of the Billion-Dollar congress, was upon the country before Harrison retired from the presidency.
Gold Is Cornered.
For twenty years the Democrat* ic party has denounced the demonetization of silver as a crime. For twenty years the Democratic party has sought to give silver equal rights with gold as a money metal. The results that have followed the demonetization of silver are thus pointed out. b/ John Clarke Kidpath, America’s greatest historian “It is said by the emissaries of the gold propaganda,” says Prof. Kidpatn, “that they who advocate the restoration of our coinage and money to the exact condition which it heid prior to the act of 1873 are dishorest; that they wish to coin fifty cents worth of silver into a dollar and compel crtditorß to accept that in lieu of an honest dollor. Thau this there never was a greater sophism and lalsehcod.— What the people desire and what they intend to do is to coin & 1 uudred cents worth of silver, that is, a dollar’s worth, that is37l£ grains of silver into a dollar, and by that act to break the corner on gold and reduce < he exaggerated purchasing
power of that metal to its normal standard. * * * Xhe lim ted supply of gold iu the world lias been cornered by those who own it. xhey are few —very few— and the people are millions. The price of the corneted gold baß advanced more and more until it lias become worth almost two for one. Ail the while coired gold has concealed the fallacy that is iu it. The gold eagle still proclaims itself ten dollars, although it has advanced iu purchasing power until it is nearly twenty dollars. Under this obscure aud fraudulent process all productive industries have been crushed to the earth. They who labor in the fields aud shops have beeu virtually ruined. For myself, 1 stand with the men of the fields aud the shops—with them aud for them. f the present process goes on and the pi ice of "old continues to increase until it is worth five tor one the owners of it will, I.suppoße, still continue to insist that the gold dollar i-« the honest "dollar. The claim that gold money is the ‘sound money,’ the ‘honest money’ of the world, and that silver money—real, primary silver money rn our old statutory ratio -is dishonest aud unsound money is the most fulse, us it is the most adroit, proposition ever put forth by interested parties to defraud the people of a great natiou.”

OOSTLY STUTTERING.
Why the Firm of Hobaon At Dobm |. Are at Loggerheads. Hobson stutters Hobson Is' a firstclass business man, and bis vocal Infirmity lias never Interfered until recently with the profits of the wellknown firm, Hobson & Dobson, of Chicago. Hobson is a progressive man, ever on the alert to adopt modern methods. He was one of the first subscribers to the telephone, and has kept right up with the march of inventions In all Its ramifications. A.s a wide-awake man Hobson was not slow to grasp the possibilities of the long distance telephone. And that is how Hobson and Dobson came to have the first dispute which marred years of profitable partnership. Dobson went to New York last week. He made htß headquarters at a wellknown Gotham hotel, and telegraphed Hobson of his arrival In the Eastern town. It seems that an Eastern customer had failed to keep a certain agreement, the details of which were familiar to Hobson, but not to Dobson. It would take a long telegram to explain the details fully, and Ilobson decided to call Dobson up on the long distance telephone. The rate for conversation between Chicago and New York Is $8 for five minutes, after the propei connections are made and communication established. The usual negotiations passed between the operators, and Dobson recognized the voice of hit partner. “Hello, Ilobson!” “H-h-hello, D-d-d-dobson, la that y-y-you 7” “Yes, It’s me. Talk fast, Hobsoni this costs money.” "I know It does. You know H-h-h----ham-mers-s-steln and P-p-p-p-polloskl ?” “Who?” “H-h-h-h-h-hammers-s-s-steln and P-p-p-p.pollosky T’ “Haminorstein and Pollosky? Yes, they bought $4,000 worth of goods from us. What about them?” “Have J-J-J-just r-r-r-recelved a l-l-l-l-letter f-f-f-from H-h-h-h-hammersteli saying t-t-t-that P-p-p-p-pollosky r-r-r refuses to " "Say, Ilobson, you had better ring off now uud save money. It makei no difference how long or how shorl this message Is, we are bound to gel the worst of It. You don’t stutter on a telegraph blank and I cannot under stand the cipher system you have been sending. Don’t get hot about It, old man, but write It out aud send It ovei the wire. Good-by.” ‘‘G-g-g-good-b-b-by. Y-y-y-you will b-b-be s-s-s-aorry for t-t-thls." Hobson hung up the receiver with a snap and paid the SB. He Is waiting tor Dobson to return.
It May Come to This.
A prominent surgeon suggests that the principle upon which wounds in other vital organs are dealt with by modern surgery might often be applied with equal success to the heart. In ▼lew of case* on record in which the heart has resisted the effect of gunshot and other wounds for hours and even days, it is at least open to discussion whether a surgeon might not open the pericardium, clean out the clots, and close the wound In the heart wall, with a chance for the patient of recovery, which certainly could not bo lessened by the attempt. It Is claimed that this is no more improbable now than the safe remotel of a tumor from the motor area of the brain seemed to be in the recent past. That the application of sutures would necessarily stop the action of the heart Is not proved; and if it should be there would remain a qucetlon of possibly starting it again. The danger from the entrance of air into the circulation has been proved not so great as has been supposed.
