Th Woman and thn Collar. Society may assume that the sign of woman's emancipation from the seclu sion of the harem or the slavery of the &i vast tribe is her education, or her duiin-stic responsibility, or her civic Iraponamv. Not at all. The symbol of Ikt freed m to do as she pleases and to bo what she pleases is her xossesbn of ths right to wear the masculine linen collar. Comfort, Irinir.os, respectability, dignity are all entrenched behind the spotless white of the carefuJ'y laundered band. Safe in its nu gra:-p, a woman may 1m' active or M. warm or cool, calm or excited. The history of t!ie collar is interesting. In its pnseut form it is, of course, a iii-.Hlern device. Those who would tra.e ii to the necklace of teeth collected by the sava.LV mistake its real siginuV:'i;:ce. It began its existence in civilization, not in barbarism. Tne ruff invented to hide a royal scar evolved into the lace ruche and the linen band. Th j IJyronic collar proclaimed laxity of morals, as the white stock declared for t!ie stern virtue of the Puritan. Eut the conventional modern collar has encircled the neck of the modern freeman for many years, and has apparently established Its claiin as a kind of insignia of liberty. Let the woman buware how the charms of lingerie or lace beguile her from her right In the plain linen collar. When- her role is that of princess or queen, she may don the necklace or the rullle. When she claims her right t( a fair partnerships good day's work and a share of the profits, be they gold or truth or love, let her wear happily the white Jinen yoke, at once buckler and badge. Youth's Companion. The VeII-Dreel Woman. Always le well gloved and well shod, and the dress will take care of Itself, "it is very simple," advises the worn? a who has never earned a slice of bread ut-.il butter in her life, and would ffobali!y starve if she were suddenly Itft to f"l IHJrt herself. Et cry one knows that " ! gloves and good shoes are a necsv.iry part of her dress, and she knows tf). that much depends on her iorsonal ip; iea ranee; but when the rent of her hall bedroom is paid, or perhais of the littK- Hat where her mother keeps house for herself and several small brothers tmd sisters, and when the milk and gas nd bread and other bills are paid, to be well gloved and well shod is far less simple than it sounds. To bo well gloved one must have i-vsrp than one pair, and ditto with fthi)os. Sometimes or.e can spare the change to buy gloves, but iy the time shoe money has accumulated the glomes are worn; so while formerly she haa Rood gloves and shabby shoes, she now lias pood shoos and shabby gloves. And c it goes. "Have one good tailor-made ftuit and plenty of shirt waists," advises another woman. Well and good. Shirtwaists mean lanndry bills, and unless a tailored suit Ik? of the more or less expensive cloth, which will not shrink with the first foggy evening or wear up rotili after a few outings, the effect of trying to t? well dressed on one suit fails after a week or two. Leslie's Weekly. A Form that Fits .411. Tli rough the Ingenuity of a New York man. shopkeepers and dressmakers will be able to get along hereafter 4 with one kind of dress form. Long sfsjfcx f waists all lookalike on this body .portion, which can be adjusted to fit nny--lTv -JL- -ns human rm can wear. The !: igl form is made simi lar to those now in use, except that the 10RM FITS ALL. model can be moved up and down on the upright rod that runs through the center and affixed at any height over the hip line that may be desired. In the old-style form a short-walstcd waist did not fit on a long-waisted model, cud vice versa, and both for window display and dress-making a number of different forms were required, each for a different type of figure. Either for fitting or display, this Invention is expected to be of value, lcth in. the saving of money and time, for not only will one take the place, of several of the old designs, but it will not be necessary to scour about for the suitable form for each occasion. Wonitn'i Ccrsets. It Is not a hundred years ago since uiys for women were composed not of -whalebone or hardened leather, but of lars of iron and steel from three inchfs to four Inches broad and eighteen Inches long. Again, during the reign c George IlL, the top of the steel stay lu:.sk had a long stocking needle attached to it to prevent girls from spoil l ig I heir shape by stoop rig too much over their work. In the d-iys of Catherine dp Medici, thirteen inches was, th fashionable size for the waist, and to achieve this an overcorset of very thin steel plate was worn. It was made in two pieces opened longitudinally ty binges, and was secured when closed by a sort of hasp, and pin, much like au ordinary box fastening. The lest corsets to-day are made on a foundation of Greenland whalebone, which has steadily risen In price during the last twenty-five years from $3,500 to $1..000 a ton. Clieap whalebone can be bought for 130 and $200 a ton, but It wiou dries and becomes brittle, thus t.poii!ng the corset as well as the figure. Health and Beauty Hint. IMiysicians now urge that the-powder naff and pad be discarded as germ car rier?. and that absorbent cotton be used in tieir place. A person who desires excellent health must sleep with the bedroom windows open every night. Fresh air is the Iwst blood purifier and cosmetic in the world. njHd; of cheesecloth eiut inches square, filled with oatmeal, some powdered borax, pulverized castile soap and c little powdered orris root, and used in tho -Ith are delightfully refreshing.

PICTURESQUE GRAY COSTUME. MODISH COAT SUIT. This season promises to outshine its predecessors in picturesqueuess of dress, due largely to the revival of empire frocks. . The one on the left is silver gray chiffon voile, with an Invisible check employs a modified sheath skirt, and the perfect fitting surplice bodice Is outlined with black satin folds and long pendants of same tone satin ending in black silk tassels fall to knee depth. Large cut steel buttons are fastened in each point on bodice and the long mousquetalre sleeves are finished at hand with a frill of lino white lice. The round collar is braided with black silk soutache and the high stock of the material has a double frill of narrow lace matching that on sleeves. The illustration on the right pictures o.ic- of the coat suits built on dir rectoire lines. Note the length of skirt and coat. The combination Is smoke gray cloth with black braid frogs and narrow Mack soutache effectively applied on coat lapels, collar and cuffs, and also on narrow band edging foot of skirt, A huge purple satin hat with shaded plumes in same tone forms a fitting accompaniment.

Regularity is one of the golden rules of a wed-or-dered life. For a slight cut there Is nothing better to control the hemorrhage than common unglazed paper such as is used by grocers and market men. liind a picoe on the cut. , Try this skin food for the hands: Cocoa butter, one ounce; oil of sweet almonds, one ounce; oxide of zinc, one dram; borax, one dram; oil of berganint. six drops. Heat the cocoa butter and oil of almonds in a bain marie and, when thoroughly blended, add the zinc ind borax; stir as it cools and add the oil of bergamont last. Rub Into the bands at night. Colors for street and dinner dresses are nearly all dark. Dressy coats of voile, silk, etc.. will have silk and lace for elaboration. The most popular shirt waist of the moment Is made of white wash nei. Some of the many gored and gored circular skirts have the habit back. Empire-style coats are in high favor both for evening and for dressy wear In the day. Among the new materials are found attractive designs in worsteds, but the serges and the panamas will probably predominate. Character may be added to neckwear by' means of the new long, narrow velvet and braid tied with tasseled or pendent bead ends. Jacqueminot red satin faced cloth, combined with narrow black silk soutache, will be worn this season with a chemisette of white. Paris offers as stylish a short walking skirt that falls straight and sk imply and which probably will not find favor on this side of the water. The straight-front panel has reappeared In the newest of the plaid tweed suits. It is about four inches wide and the sides are slightly dapped over it. There Is diversity lu footwear. New walking boots are of suede in tan, smoke, blue or green, and there are combinations of suede with patent leather or tan Russia calf. A Telephon Hoar. A girl whose engagements are many and who is therefore out a good deal has established a telephone hour. In this way her friends are always sure of catching her on the wire, and she comes in for many unexpected good times that otherwise might be missed. Until she did this It was almost impossible to get her. Now, If she Is not at home at the telephone time she calls up the house and tells the maid where she may le reached. The arrangement works to a charm, she says, and nothing would induce her to go back to the haphazard fashion of any and no time. Ths Chilli' Study. If your child can not' concentrate his mind on committing to memory without great difficulty, or if he seems very backward, do not force him to study. No development which Is forced is normal, and the mind niay be developing unevenly. The child i'uust to encouraged instead of discouraged. The Aue to 3Iarry.

A few well-chosen pictures look far letter than a number of mediocre ones. Jfew Style In Veil. Among the new veils there Is on in which the loosely woven net bj of a double or a heavy thread and another in which it looks like a fine silk web. This last conies dotted or plain and Is extra wide. Chinese embroidered bands are especially useful this season for small revers. vests, cuffs,, elf.

Every one uses the word honeymoon, and few have ever taken the trouble to find out how the name originated. It has nothing to do with the sup'iositlon that it is a ierlod of sweetness and love which is grant ed to every married couple by the world. Instead of this, it is called from an ancient practice of drinking the wim of honey for tblrty days following the wedding ceremony. Sewing on SLIrt Ilrnld. In replacing an old skirt braid oi sewing on a new one after the skirt has been finished try the following method : Rip a place In the hem wide enough to Insert a calling card and by slipping the card along between the outer aud Inner parts of the hem it will prevent the stitches from showing through m the outer side. This Is of secial benefit when sewing on thin material. Odorless Refrigerator. To prevent contamination In refrigerator, put everything that one really can in pint or quart Mason Jars, with screw tops, and your refrigerator will always be sweet and clean. Salads, radishes, onions, celery, etc., always are crisp and cold If prepared In the morning and put into Jurs, aud thus a great deal of labor Is saved when it Is time to get the C o'clock dinner. Correct 3f c auriuents. The correct measurements of a short woman are; Height, 5 feet 4 Inches; neck, 12K Inches; bust, T.0 inches; waist, 21 Inches; hips, ,T7. For a tall woman the measurements are: Height, 3 feet 8H inches; weight, l.'JT pounds; bust, Cd inches, waist, 23 Inches; hips, 42 inches; top of arm, 14 inches; tapering to 8 Inches. To Keep Jelly from ' Hunting. When the Jelly Is put Into the kettle to boll, drop into the kettle a small agate marble such as the children use to play with. This marble will keep In constant motion in the bottom of the k"ttle while the jelly is cooking. Thus it need not be stirred or looked after until finished. Scr Thront.

A teaspoonful of the potash to a wineglassful of water is quite a jood domestic measure.

FIGHTING FOREST FIHES.

j Arreste! y Fire Llnr Itijnry to Soil by liiirniii of VcKctable flutter. Of all the desfuctive agencies that attack the woodlamls no other is so ter- ! rib'.e as lire. Many parts of the coun- ' try have experienced loss from firea Jliat followed severe drought. The irees have in most cases been killed j and where the soil was mucky the tires smouldered underground until all the vegetable matter was destroyed, leaving the hard clay or sand. Fires are often kindled along railroads by sparks from the locomotives. Settlers and farmers clearing land or burning brush often allow the fire to escape into the woods. The failure to extinguish camp fires Is another frequent cause of bush fires. At whatever time of the year they appear their desfruetive power lepends very much rpon the wind. They cannot travel against it except when burning up hill and not even then If the wind is stn-iig. The wit d may give them strength and sced by driving them swiftly through unhurned 'nllammable forests, or it may extinguish the fiercest fire in a short time uy turning it back over its path where there is nothing to burn. Where there is but a thin covering of leaves and other waste on the ground a fire usually cannot bum very hotly or move very rapidly. The fires In most hardwood forests are of this kind. They seldom kill large trees, but ther de-

Perhaps no set of m'ea appreciate the seriousness of the timber-supply question more than those engaged in the manufacture of furniture, says the New York Post. They have realized for some years that a pinch in the hardwMd market is sure to come and they have succeeded In coping with the situation by the economical use of material by the practice o? veneering and the imitation of highest-priced hardwoods. During the last few years the great increase in the price of hard woods has created a strong demand for wood which can Ik? used in Imitation. The two woods that are most successfully Imitated are mahogany and oak, particularly the quartered oak in the golden and darker finishes. Almost without exception the manufacturer markets thes Imitations either as imitations or under some registered trade name tud does not pretend to deceive his customers. For imitating mahogany cherry was formerly used almost entirely, but the diminished supply and the lucreased price of this wood have led manuI facturers to seek a substitute which would lend itself more readily to te stain than cherry and at the same time show the grain and hold the gloss. For these reasons birch, especially curly birch, maple, beech and gum are extensively used for all parts of furniture. Even In the better grades of mahogany furniture birch and maple stained to a mahogany finish are often used for posts and frames, while genuine mahogany In the form of veneer is used for. panels, tops aud rolls. In making imitation quartered oak almost any wood can be used, since in this case the original grain of the wood Is first covered with a filler and then the quarterin; Is printed on in dark Ink by the Impression of actual quartered oak prepared by special processes. Birch, maple, poplar and plain sawed oak are commonly used for this work. After the wood has been finished andj r)Ollsneu tue lmiiauon appears so real that only an expert can detect the difference. Certain woods used in furniture construction are extremely expensive, owing to tho difficulty of obtaining pieces with a good grain of sufficient size for working. Such, for Instance, Is Circassian walnut This, which comes from the Ural mountains, is largely used In the form of veneers for chair hacks, panels and tops In bedroom niits, table tcps, etc., the balance of the piece of furniture being composed cither of American or black walnut (natural finish) or of satin walnut, commonly known as red gum. The latter, while It does not often show (he beautiful grain of the panel, is s: near the color of plain Circassian walnut that only close scrutiny can detect the difference. The University Styllit. This editorial from the weekly ptper )f Missouri University shows what ligher education does for lucid wri;rs: "isomct lines during the year there trlse certain occasions whose clrcumitances are peculiar in that all of them !orce the onlooker to the same coucluion. That Is, a person Is not enabled & ccnslder the various phases of such

questions, and then announce It as hla belief that the matter has two sides, and that as such is the case he Intend keeping the affair of his mind as much as possible. On the contrary, this typa of situation can allow of but one opinion, for tl.e reason that every motive exists for adopting one course as right, and decrying the other as wrong." HOW HE FOUND A BIG NUGGET.

It Weighed About Fire round and AVna Worth $1,228. Johnny Kearn. who has spent manj years in the placer mines of the old Highland district, was in Butte rec ently, says the Anaconda Standard. Mr Kearn achieved considerable distlnc tlon last winter when he discovered th largest nugget ever found In the High land district, it netting him $1,225 when it was sold in the assay office ir Helena. "I will tell you how I found It," hi said to a reporter for the Standard I took up some ground of my own oi the head of Poodle Dog gulch, when no one had a claim. I went up dos to a big slidi and began working when placer miners had worked forty yean ago and again twenty years ago. "I left the cabin pretty early "and built a fire on a place where It looked like there used to be a side ditch. Voc could trace It, although It Is grasi grown. I thawed the ground out and then I began digging. Pretty soon J got down to the ground, through th i.Vf.i", VJ black dirt to the gravel. I had not shoveled for more than ten minutes before I found him. My ' shovel struck something that seemed hard and I looked close and saw it was yellow His nose was pointed right toward mt and you bet I got busy with my shovel and in a little while I had him in my hands. I saw it was a nugget weighing pounds he weighed five of them and I knocked off work and came to town I took him to Mr. Johnson of the Clark bank and he put him in the window, where people looked at hhn for sis weeks and then he was sold to the assay office. "Where I found the nugget men had worked forty years ago aud twenty years ago. The last work was done by some Chinamen and .they were within three or four feet of the big nuggel when they quit work. If they had found him they would have torn up the entire mountainside looking for more like him." EMPTY HOUSES IN LONDON. Fifty Thousand of Them at Present Said to B Lacking Tenants. Fifty thousand empty houses in London! John Burns made this startling announcement in the house of commons recently, says TIt-BIts. Large as this number is there are those who believe it is .under rather than over the mark. A remarkable change has taken place during the past five or six years. Whereas, formerly landlords were masters of the situation, tenants have now the whip hand In nearly every district and are offered all manner of inducements to take houses. It is not long since that a premium or, what amounts to the same thing, key money" was demanded by property owners In some parts of London. Today numbers of such men will actually allow tenants a discount, which consists in the case of snail property of the expenses of removal up to 1, or else of so many weeks' occupation free. Usually no rent is required for the first fortnight, but in certain localities the competition between property owners is so keen that the period in some cases is one month, making the discounts about 2 2s or 2 Us. A more curious bait is free insurance. One company gratuitously insures each of Its tenants against fire; while another, besides safeguarding the householder against this contingency, relieve him of apprehension resectlng any damage to bis furniture by lightning or flood. Certain separate charges have also been swept away, particularly In the case of flats, which, it is said, are now a drug In the market Some landlords, for Instance, made one for the cleaning of the common staircase, this, with the "extra" for gas, amounting to about Is Cd per week. The 18 pence was really rent, and the reason It was not called such was partly to evade payment of rates. When this is an actual case a man owned about fifty fiats and returned their rent as 15 per.ee per week each less than It really was, his assessment was considerably lower than it ought to have been, and consequently he did not pay his due proportion of rates. Rut, of late "extras" bae frequently been cut to the amount formerly set down as "rent" TIio AVorat. "Doctor, you may as well be frank with me. Tell me the worst" said the patient nervously. 'I can do nothing for you," said the doctor, calmly, b; firmly. "Nothing." "Absolutely nothing. There's nothing the matter with you." Greatly relieved, the patient went out In the back yard and sawed wood. Milwaukee Sentinel.

4OLITICAL m Dryan and a Republican Senate. There are some who fancy that the lection of Bryan would be merely a ialt in which neither party would have full control of the government, and that this would be a restful period for the xuutry. How little the persons who lold this view have considered the practical features of such a situation, and Bryan's qualities as an agitator. Rexvntly be, was questioned as to what ae could do as President with a Republican Senate to reckon with, and he replied at some length in a speech at Buffalo. He said lie could make a beginning by presenting measures of tariJI reform, for the regulation of corporations and railroads, for the guarantee :f bank deposits, for declaring the ultimate independence of the Filipino, and for setting In motion all that is includ :nl in the Denver platform. One of the things in that platform Is greenbacks as emergency currency, though Mr. Rryan was careful not to (give this fact particular mention. Ho Is a free trader, and there is not the slightest doubt :hat he would show it In his tariff proceedings. Ills messages, all marked by his personal and party bias, would be incessant, according to his rash habit with the Issues he takes up from time .Lo time. A President has extensive powers of his own and weighty methods of InfinMielng even an opposition Congress. After March 4 next Mr. Bryan would ?all Congress in extra session, and it is probable that, along with his ele."tlon, the House would be Democratic. His vast resources In patronage would be applied to break down what remaln?d of Republican control and to hasten the day when all departments of the government would be Democratic. He Mid at Buffalo: "It is reasonable to issume that the Itepublicans in the Senate will recognize the , force of public opinion and see the folly of putting themselves in opposition to the deliberate judgment of voters." A Iiepuol'can Senate under Bryan would be on the defensive at every point from the n ment of Bryan's Inauguration. He would treat It as a body repudiated by the people and lagging suerfluous n the stage. His messages would be planned to discredit It with the country, and he would adroitly try to saddle upon it the responsibility for his own aiistakes and failures. Whatever went wrong, his ready excuse would be that the Republican Senate crippled his policies and that all would be as rosy as Ids accustomed promises If his party had full iwwer to act It must be remembered that Mr. Dryin condemned the administration of Mr. Cleveland as severely as those of McKinley and Roosevelt He would not accept any of these as a mole! nor subscribe to the financial policy of Mr. Cleveland. He would be the ccKtnent of Bryan exclusively, and old -fa shtor.od Democrats cannot intelligently support him with any other understanding. In Bryan's whole career the seeds of revolution have lurked. His treatment of his party illustrates the readiness with which be resorts to the one-man power. If the Republican party after twelve years of full authority cannot hold, its lines against Bryan, it is vain to expect to resist the general upheaval he represents when all the line Is carried except a Republican Senate. Bryan's election could not fall short of a Pryanized government The Senate also could not prevent this result. Bryan would ovei power It and at the same tlaie hhlft all blame to its shoulders. Let no opponent of Bryanlsra Imagine that it can be Indulged half. way. It is not half right nor half safe. St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. Real Mother of Trust. Bryan projMJses to "bust the trusts" ay "busting" the tariff, which would mean putting this country on a free trade basis, and would effectively 'bust" American industry generally, together with the opportunity for working men and women to earn and obtain American wages. A neat reply to Bryan 3n this point was made at a meeting held by the National Commercial and Industrial League in New York, by Edward Vroom, an actor, and who has also gained recognition as an effective political speaker. As Bryan, Is something of an' actor himself, there was fitness In his being so "called down." Mr. Vroom who has Just returned from Kngland alluding to "Dr." Bryan's nostrum for curing trusts spoke as follows : Dr. Bryan proposes to cure all our ills with, his anti-tariff pill as he formerly prcjKised to do with his free silver pill. He tells us that our protective tariff Is all in the Interest of the trust that the trust would never have been created if the tariff had r.ot ?xisted. He chooses to Ignore the fact that in free trade England the trust was first established; that free trade Kngland was the mother of the trust; that In Birmingham and Liverpool Ii? Manchester, Bradford and the other aianufacturlng centres of the British Isles the huge textile, rubber and Innumerable other trusts have been creited and have flourished for years where no protective tariff exists' That is plain truth, and effectually punctures the notion that free trade is Inimical to trusts. Troy Times. The Taft Tpnr. One of the most interesting phases of Mr. Taft's recent tour through the West has been his remarkable display of physical endurance. Except for a hoarseuess, he has come out of the ordeal apparently as strong and as fresh as he was on the day he made the first speech of the journey. The test which Is put upon a candidate In one of these rear platform campaigns Is little appreciated. The number of addresses made In a single day would try out the most leather-lunged of lawyers. Mr. Taft, In his tour, delivered as many as sixteen between su'irlse and nightfall. There is actually no hour which the candidate can call his own. He often leaves a hall and jams a way through crowds as late as midnight and before dawn he Is dressed and prepared to talk to a group of admirers which has waited for him throughout the eight Then there Is the handshaking, a thing which becomes a torture after two or three days of the exercise. There are tricks about the game which Rive tho muscles of th politician, but all of them fail when the candidate tries them upon a number of husky fanners or Iron moulders. The strain is terrible if the tour Is a long continued one, such

OMMEAJT i 0 NJfcpj AX as Mr. Brj-au, tried and seasoned, loves to make. Yet all who have come in personal contact With Mr. Taft have lon ;i.mvn tbi extraordinary vitality of the man. He has been powerful from his youth. Ills college mates were familiar with Iiis physical force and on the bench it was his practice for years to leap tJ the aid of colleagues when tliey began to show signs of overwork. That strength' of body qualifies one for tire presidency would be the most foolish of arguments. Still, the executive must have unusual vital force or be would early break down under the burden of the duties of his office. He must have strength not only for his work, but also sufficient to throw off the sense of his responsibilities whi rest and recreation are imperativ. In Mr. Taft the country will hav? a President who is a powerful man both physically and mentally. That he is destined to become one of our strongest Presidents is clear to all who luv' er. no in contact with him. Toledo Blade. Mr". liontrworlh Denial. Nicholas Longworth declares absolutely and utterly false the report that in his recent speech at Rock Island and again In Indiana he advocated two terras for .Air. Taft and then the reciectiou of Mr. Roosevelt to the presidency. There is no stern chase half so loug as that which a denial must make when It sets out to overtake a flying falsehood, but in the present Instance Mr. Longwort h's statement is so explicit and so convincing that the public hardly will hesitate .to accept It From the first the story was sc improbable as to arouse incredulity. Mr. Longworth has always acted with such admirable good sense in the somewhat trying position of the President's son-. In-law that the people of the country will Ie all the more ready to take his word that he never was guilty of such a piece of political folly and bad taste as the "third term for Roosevelt" story implied. Moreover, it must be borne In mind that there are not lacking Individuals m both parties who will take advantage of the c-.vmiKiIgn to circulate c'nards against their political opponents. Among misguided partisans the Golden Rule is a lost art, or at least an archaic custom. Indeed, the government weather bureau should nail to the mast its roorlmck warning and the general publie should keep several grains of salt within reach while perusing the campaign yarns which will be uncovered dally until election time. Chicago Poe Consider the Conaequenee. A Democratic paper lectures a Pennsylvania manufacturing concern for giving notice to its men that it will shut down if. Rryan is elected. If such is its purpose its notification Is a matter of business, and may be of service to those who will have time to look elsewhere for a Job. The concerns that give notice of this kind will not oe one In a hundred of those that will necessarily shut down If the next President is Rryan, the free trader, the free silver apostle, the advocate of the public ownership of railroads and other Issues calculated to disturb business to Its foundations. The emergency currency plank in the present Rryan platform is a greenback utterance. Not many firms will announce that they will stop If Rryan is elected, but thousands may find it compulsory to stop if the chronic agitator, a man of proved fallacious judgment. Is invested with the powers of the presidential office." Sent Democrati Confederate Money. Some unkind jhtsou or persons sent the Democratic National Committee $(5,()00 In Confederate money Just tied It up In an express package and sent it along to help out on the payroll for next week. A careless clerk, whose eyesight grew unsteady at the unexpected aprearance of all the money In the world, rushed Into Mr. Mack's öffiee, without making a careful examination of the ! bills, and reported the glad tidings that the Standard Oil Company had devoted a year's earnings to the cause of Democracy. Mr. Mack held down his startled emotions long enough to take a look at the treasure. It is admitted that there are exceedingly unkind persons In the world. "So More Xow than Tfce. Do the ieople of our State desire to see the Dlngley tariff law revised by the Democratic party under the leadership of William J. Bryan, a man who first came into notice as a member of Congress, through his laudation of the principles of free trade? We do not think so; neither do we believe that they have any more confidence in Bryan and his policies than they did when he first came before them twelve years ago as the Inspired advocate of a fifty-cent dollar.
