LIŢLE VISITS WITH "UNCLE BY".

Mother’s Grave. Right over this way, mister, here whar th' shade is deep, Here whar th’ boughs droop tender, her* whar th’ glories creep, Is mother’s grave. This is th' grass plot, mister, here wh%r th’ vi’lets grow, Here whar th’ birds is slngin’, here whar th' zephyrs blow— She lies asleep! Gasped when the doctor told us mother must go away, Gripped at our hearts like sorrer does when she holds her sway And beckons death! Brown was our fam’ly doctor; bolstered us all with pill's. Cured father’s rheumatism, cricks an’ sich other ills As most folks has — But when th’ doctor told us, told it must be th’ knife— Well, we Just paled in silence—what if it cost her life! Our mother’s life! Then to th’ train we took her; doctor he went along— Sent her away a-prayin’ nothin’ would turn out wrong In mother's case! Sir, ’twas a quiet evenin' Just after dusk and still— Bayin’—good-by—t’—mother—Bless me my heart’s a till! And these are tears! Wore a gray dress of broadcloth, violet hat of bl ue; Hair was all soft an’ silv’ry, thar whar it shimmered through Behind her vail! Told us to hope, so cheery; wait, an' she'd come again—'Train sped away from th’ station! Left us —an’ then—an’ then— * Well, we waited! Waited an’ hoped in sorrer—waited a day or two— Wired ns t’ come to th’ city; quick, on the first train through! For she called us.” Jist as we went t’ board It, telegram come that said — Well, what It said don’t matter—mother was deud! Was dead! Ami our mother! Buried her here whar summer's shade an’ th’ sun unite. Planted th’ vi’lets wild like, 'Just whar they’d git th’ light, Fer she loved ’em! Birds sings their songs of sorrer, silent th’ glories creep, Here in th’ peace eternal, mother has gone to sleep! . To sleep! To sleep! Right over thiß way, mister, here whar th’ shade is deep. Here whar th’ boughs droop tender, hers whar th’ glories creep. Is mother’s grave! * • • Recognized the Breed. It was near ground-hog day and the teacher was questioning her pupils about the knowledge of this weather breeder. “Willie,” said the teacher, “what ani-

mal is it that lias bristly hair, is fond of dirt and loves' sleep so dearly?” “Please, ma'am," responded Willie, coloring, “it's me!” And the ground-hog turned over in his hole, yawned, and went to sleep again. • • * Where He Got It. “The eyes are the windows to the soul," says the wise guy. If this is true, I hit a thomas-cat just south of the east window with a boot-jack last night. What's good for tom-cats, anyhow? * * • Rainbows. The Maryville (Mo.) Tribune tells Of the birth of a girl baby with nine grandparents. If that kid doesn't get what’s coming to her, It will be because she doesn’t know how to appeal to the gallery. The editor of the Terril (la.) Tribune has a boil on his Adam's apple and says he is cross as a New York legislator with ids phss cut off. The Trlbufte man should bo thankful that be doesn't sit on his Adam's apple. While the city papers are crying of rate regulation, crime crusades and boxer uprising, from the country press out in lowa comes the calm, sweet assurance that “Merchants will soon display garden seeds for sale!”

The near-sighted man was proving to the doctor that he was near sighted. “Do you see that nail up there on the wall?" he asked. “Certainly,” replied the doctor. “All right,” added the near-sighted individual. “I don’t!" Ethel came home and told mamma the text at Sunday school that day was, “Don’t worry, you’ll get your bedquilt!’’ When the mother met the superintendent next day she learned that the text really was, “Fear not; ye shall be comforted I”

BYRON WILLIAMS.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Oosslp of the National Capital. Prom our Special Correspondent: If the Senate is marking time on the rate bill and finding excuses for not speaking, the House is by no means talked oat. Bourke Cockran last week had an hour of time granted him in which to express his views, and they were well expressed and went to the point as is usual with his speeches. What he advised was for the House to “stand pat” on the rate bill and allow no amendments from the Senate. He said that in common with a good many other members, he had gone over the Hepburn bill, hoping to strengthen it by amendment, but he found that in every case he had been anticipated by the framers of the bill atul he thought that the best thing to do was to pass the bill as it stood and not allow the Senate to saddle it with amendments. In the matter of a court review provision, Mr. Cockran took the very common-senße view that if any railroad were not satisfied with the ruling of the Commission, all it had to do to secure a court review was to fail to enforce the order. This would at once throw the matter into the courts and get the ruling that all the court review amendments purported to seek. It was quite a simple, homely speech and as notice had been given that it was to occur, the galleries were crowded. Of course so long as the bill is under consideration in the Senate, the talk on the House end is rather beside the mark, but it is an indication to the Senate that the House for once intends to stand on its rights and that if the bill comes back from the Senate in any considerably amended shape, it is likely to have a hard time before it gets to conference and afterward.

' Almost as old as the proposal to change the date of the Presidential inauguration is the proposal to elect Senators by a popular vote. But the measure has been introduced again by Mr. Norris of Nebraska and in spite of the faot that the bill has four times passed the House and has been killed in the Senate, there is renewed talk of its passing. There is incorporated with the bill a proposal to make the term of members of the House four years instead of two. The object of this, the report says, is to give more importance to the primaries and prevent the professional boodler from living over from term to term on the proceeds of his unholy work at one election. “The people are tired,” the report says, “of this continuous drama and as a result are inclined to give little attention to the primaries and the conventions which are the very foundation of our political system, and are the times at which the country’s interests can be best protected.” The change in the order of elections would have to be accomplished by a constitutional amendment, but the framer of the bill is convinced that it is a good one and it has at least had a favorable report to the House. t t t

It will not be loug before the Pure Food Bill will come to a vote. Matters are in such a shape that it can at any time be made the unfinished business and a vote on it may be arranged at any day. It is possible that the measure may pass at this session and it is almost a certainty that if it does not it will pass and be signed by the President at the next session. Dr. Wiley of the Department of Agriculture is of course the father of the bill and he has a lot of "arguments” in the shape of adulterated foods of one sort and another spread out on two big trays at the Department which he intends to send up to the Capitol to back his declaration that a pure food bill is an absolute necessity. The custom house inspectors in New York played into his hands this week too and furnished him with what he has told a number of friends is auother good argument. It ia to the effect that lhe market of the eastern states is being flooded with spurious “pure olive oil.” This oil is of two sorts. One of them is imported right enough, but it is imported free and costs 40 cents a gallon. It oouaes in free under the declaration that it fs purely for mechanical uses. And that is all it is fit for. It is the lowest grade of refuse from the oil factories. When it gets into this country, however, it is filtered to remove the dirt, a little potash added to take out the rancid taste, for it is all of it rancid, and then is bottled and put on the market as “pure lucca oil.” This stuff, Dr. Wiley, declares, is entirely unfit for human consumption. Yet

is it largely sold and there is do federal law under which the vendors can be prosecuted. The other device is even more barefaced, though less harmful. The Department fouod recently that the eastern end of the country was being flooded with cheap “olive oil” for which there was no equivalent record at the custom house, though all of it was labled imported. The inspectors finally found that it was manufactured by the oar load in New York, oil, bottles, labels and all, and then sold outside the Btate. There were 25 samples captured by the Pennsylvania authorities and several hundred dollars will be collected in fines from the men who- sold it, but what the advocate of the pure food bill want is a law under which the makers of the stuff can be prosecuted. And this they say they will have when the bill passes.

WANTED HIS MONEY.

A Rensselaer man visited a nearby city, and at one of the hotels he was served with some honey, delectable to his taste, On his next trip to the city he was accompanied by his wife, and went to the same hotel, with visions of the same honey. It did not appear, however, and beckoning to a waiter, he said: “Say, Sam, where is my honey?’’ He was almost paralyzed when that worthy grinned and replied: “She doan’ work here no more, boss; she done got a job in de telephone office.”

LIBRARY NEWS.

The ladies of the Presbyterian Missionary Society recently gave to tjje library a very interesting and helpful collection of missionary books. They are as follows: A Mexican Ranch, by J. P. Duggan. Story of John G. Patou, by Rev. James Pa ton, David Liviugton, by W. G. Biaikie. Chinese Slave Girl, by Rev. J. A. Davis. James Gilmore of Mongolia, by Richard Lovett. Persian Life and Customs, by Rev. S. G. Wilson. Story of the Life of Mackay of Uganda, by Mackay. Growth of the Kingdom of God, by Sidney L. Gulick. Nemorama the Nautchnee, by Rev. Edwin Mao Minn. Way of Faith Illustrated, by Hii YnugMl. Oowikapuu, by E. R. Young. • In the Tiger Jungle, by Rev. Jacob Chamberlain. Light in the East, by Bishop J. M.Thoburn. A few points of discussion at a recent Wisconsin library meeting may be of interest to some: “One speaker believed that the average public failed to realize that in the public reading room there is a public convenience and a secret reformatory institution all in one, competing with the saloon, the dive, the dance hall, the gaming table, and every other resort of sin aud solace in the modern catalogue of evil and frivolous tendencies. To enter upou this competition successfully, the speaker contended, there must be something more than mere books, magazines, lights, chairs, radiators and tables. There must be an atmosphere of welcome a homelike feeling that breathes freedom and fellowship for the men and boys without homes, or who having homes, yet lack a place for quiet peaceful and uninterrupted reading or study. While the atmosphere within the reading room should be refining and elevating, the speaker feared that there was great danger through rigidity of rules and a general air of stiffness and conventionality that those who are most in need of such opportunities are repelled and the room unconsciously reserved for those who need it least and use it little. The speaker would have one room in which the cigar was tolerated and which the working man might enter in the .garments of his toil.”

For a while our library room was filled by the boys and girls of the schools and by some of the older people. Since the opening of some amusements in the city, the young people as well as the older ones have deserted the library for the more questionable places. Of an evening the reading room is almost empty. I should like to appeal to the parents, asking for tneir co-operation and interest. Come visit the library and see for yourself that it is a good place to be and then insist that your children, the boys especially, spend their hours at the library instead of elsewhere. The library tries to furnish interesting material for all, and will do all it can to make the library the central attraction of the city. I trust the older people will give this a little thought.

HOW JAPS KEEP STRONG.

The Democrat Readers Can Learn Something of Value Prom This. Such a thing as a weakling is hardly known in Japan. The wonderful endurance of the Japanese soldiers and sailorti in the recent war has been the marvel of all nations. Both men aad women are well, happy and strong. The reason for this, so careful investigators tell us, is that the Japanese from childhood up know how to keep well through care of the digestive system. If they have trouble with indigestion, heartburn, wind on the stomach, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, headaches, rheumatic pains, backaches, or any of the other troubles caused by a weak stomach, they treat themselves with some of the principal remedies that compose Mi-o-na, a stomach remedy that has’already a large sale in Rensselaer at B. F. Fendig’s. So uniformly successful has the remedy been in curing all stomach troubles where it is used in accordance with the simple directions given with each box, that B. F. Fendig giv£§ a signed guarantee with every 50 cent package to refund the money if Mi-o-na fails to benefit. He takes all the risk. If you have any stomach weakness, are nervous or fear that some articles of food will cause trouble and indigestion, here’s the opportunity to get well Without risking a cent. Those who use Mi-o-na are able to eat everything digestible without fear of ill results.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.

While all the local merchants in the small towns and cities sit around and whine about the mail order houses ruining their business, the mail order concerns are driving away day and night investing twenty-five per cent, of their profits in advertising. If all ihe merchants of Columbia City would invest ten per cent, of their profits each year in advertising in the local papers they could put the mail order houses out of business so far as Whitley county is concerned. There are about fifty merchants in this town who are wailing londeßt about this mail order business who wouldn’t give a local paper a dollar’s worth of advertising to save the publisher from purgatory, and the same conditions obtain in other towns. They say it don’t pay to advertise —just a donation to the publisher. The mail order houses know this and spend their money freely in advertising and grow rich, while the cotfnty merchant who is too stingy to spend a nickel for printer’s ink dries up and peters out —Columbia City Mail.

Put Them In Jail.

This is what is done in Germany when advertising, if the goods are misrepresented. Well, lam not a German but I like some of their goods. These goods 1 advertise will not send a German nor a dew to jail. Now listen: Studebaker Bros, baggies, carriages, farm wagons, almost anything on wheels. Page Bros.
