Philadelphia Doing Honor to the Next President.
 PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 23.-The recep- ton to Hon. James G. Blaine, rendered to him by the Union League club, terminated this afternoon at 4:30, when MT. Blaine drove to the Continental Hotel for dinner. At 7:30 he was again at the Union league to view the parade. Notice had been given by General Hartranft that he would meet his aides at 7:30. Shortly after this hour clubs from all sections of the city and adjacent towns were on hand and being marshalled into line. At 8:20 the line of march up Broad street to Columbia avenue was taken up. Between twenty-five thousand and thirty thousand men with torches and many colored lights and fireworks together with the glare of elec- tric and calcium lights made the night light as day Chief Marshal General Hartranft ard corps of aides kept the men moving rapid ly in the hope that they all might pass before MT. Blaine and the notable party men might take their departure. The grand stand oc- cupied by Mr. Blaine and his friends was placed directly in front of the Union League club house and as the line passed Blaine received the honor of marching salute. In the street enclosure made at the club house are lights which poured out their refulgence upon the form of the Republican candidate and spread radiance on the surrounding masses The club house is the centre of attraction, at every point it is bristling with American flags. The pennant of the league flies from the flag staff and a line of small streamers is carried to the caves. The windows are gaily festooned with flags. On gas jet illu- minated just over the balcony the words ''Blnine, Logan and Victory appear. All over the front of the house innumerable gas jets in the design of American flags are scat tered about, greatly enhancing the brilliant effect. Previous to the torchlight procession it was understood that a mass meeting would be held in front of the club house and that many eminent speakers were expected to address the meeting, but the confusion among such an immense throng and the jostling of the crowd pre- vented anything like 8 successful carrying out of this part of the programme. The ovation rendered to MT. Blaine was the most brilliant ever witnessed in Philadelphia. It is estimated tonight that the procession was viewed by at least two hundred thousand DeOplA

 The Peoples Party In Massachusetts. WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 23.-The con vention of the Peoples party meets here to- morrow. The State committee finished up it's preliminary business tonight, appoint ing convention committees, etc. The final steps toward 8 consolidation of the Green back with the Peoples party were taken and resolution unanimously adopted refusing to fuse on State or electoral tickets with ei- ther of the old parties The platform to be adopted tomorrow contains four thousand words and advocates most of General But ler's well known views. It declares it the du- ty of the Nation and State to open all possible avenues by which lobor can be made more productive and remunerative and the laborer's physical, moral and intellectual condition enhanced; also that the public do- main should be reserved for actual settle ment on condition of immediate improvement by citizens. The nation and States should establish labor arbitration boards; that laws regulating hours of labor, employment of minors, protection of the health life and limb of laborers be strictly enforced; that the leasing of convict labor is disadvantage ous but that the labor of convicts should be made to support them and that convicts should be taught some useful manual employment; that protection should be continued in the interests of labor; that the surplus be ex- pended for the future prosperity of the na- tion; that an adequate navy be built, the Qualifications of the East and the frontier be protected, the militia and army maintained on sound footing; that the present def ciencies in means of our disabled veterans and of the widows and minor children of the dead be supplied with pen sions according to degree of disability: that transportation rates be regulated; that fitness for the public service determine en- try, continuance and promotion in it; that the poll tax qualification be repealed and that secret ballot law be enacted. The platform opposes the proposition for bien- nial elections, all sorts of double taxation and all inflated and fictitious valuation of property for assessment The convention will nominate Judge J. J. McCafferty, of Worcester, for Governor, and probably John J. Baker, of Beverly and Col. A. c. Drink water, of Boston, for electors at-large. Col onel Marsh, the Springfield paper maker, will probably be nominated for lieutenant governor; John F. Sweeny, of Lawrence, for secretary of State and Robert Howard, sec retary of the Fall River spinners' union, for auditor.

WISE WORDS.

Behavior is a mirror in which everyone
shows his image.
The society of women is the element
of good manners.
The wise men of old have sent most of
their morality down the stream of time
in the light skif of apothegm or epi,
gram.
No woman can be handsome by the
force of features alone, any more than
she can be witty only by the help of
speech.
Strong minds, like hardy evergreens,
are most verdant in winter; when feeble
ones, like tender summer plants, are
leafess.
Right habit is like the channel which
dictates the course in which the river
shall flow, and which grows deeper and
deeper each year.
1t is impossible to make people under
stand their ignorance, for it requires
knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore,
he that can perceive it hath it.
Love seizes on us suddenly, without
giving us time to reflect; our disposition
or our weakness favors the surprise; one
look, one glance from the fair, fixes and
determines us.
A good memory is the best monument.
Others are subject to casualty or time,
and we know that the pyramids them
selves, rotting with age, have forgotten
the names of their founders.
The beautiful laws of time and space,
once dislocated by our inaptitude, are
holes and dens. If the hive be dis
turbed by rash and stupid hands, instead
of honey il will yield us bees.
InfniOY ,oil would not enable you to
sweep away mist, but by ascending a
little you may often look over it alto
gether. So it is with our moral improve
ment; we wrestle tiercely with a vicious
habit which would have no hold upon us
if we assembled into higher moral at
POsphere.

The COWBOYS FavOrite Gun.

I dropped into large store on Ell Paso
street, which enjoys the reputation of
selling more arms than any other house
in the city, writes a correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. While in
specting the glittering array of pistols of
all kinds which filled half dozen show
cases, young fellow of about twenty
three entered. He was dressed in ap.
proved frontier style, sombrero it would
take three days to walk around the rim
of, white handkerchief tied loosely round
the neck, blue shirt, pants stuck in his
boots, and large Mexican spurs upon his
heels, jingling as he walked. He wished
to buy gun" In the expressiveness
and laconic tongue of the frontier q
'gun" is a revolver; rife is called by
the name of the maker; and the weapon
of the sportsman, uncurtailed of its fair
proportions, is known as a shotgun.
Selecting from the case handsomely
mounted Colts forty-five calibre revol-
yer, the clerk said: "How would you
like this9 1t is the newest thing out
double action forty-fve." "Ain't worth
a row of beans. No man 'cept he is a
tenderfoot wants that kind of thing.
Give me old reliable all the time. You
see a man that's used to the old style is
apt to get fooled-not pull her off in
time-and then he'll be laid out colder'n
a wedge"
He was handed single-action Colts
of the same model, which, after carefully
examining, he proceeded to cock and
fire, twirling the pistol around his fore
finger and pressing the trigger the mo
ment the butt came into palm of his
hand. After some little "kick" about
the price the weapon was paid for and
the customer left the store.
"There are few men," observed the
clerk, as his customer left, that can do
that trick. have been ten years on the
Southwest frontier, among the worst
classes, and don't know more nor half a
dozen. Bill the Kid could do it; so
can Pat Garret, former sheriff of Lin
coin county; so can Dan Tucker, deputy
sheriff of Deming. Curly Bill could do
it best of the lot, and that's how he
killed Sheriff White at Tombstone.
"How was that2"
"Well, you see Curly Bill was irving
to paint the town ,Vtt, and White heard
of it, and going up to him, covered him
with his six shooter, and told him he
had got to give up his gun. Bill handed
the gun out butt first, but kept his finger
inside the guard, and as the sheriff
reached for it he gave it that twist you've
seen, turned her loose, and the sheriff
passed in his checks"

We used to think sometimes that Beth
shirked her share of the work, but she
was the sweetest-tempered creature liv-
ing, and always willing to make amends.
Then we had to hold a tight rein on
Kate, who was apt to want luxuries out
of season, at exorbitant prices; and 1
was sometimes a trial about cooking, be-
ing absent-minded, and apt to burn
things up. AS to Mamie, she was never
anything but comfort. We didn't keep
her long, for one day, toward our first
Thanksgiving, there was an unusual
futter in, the house. We trimmed the
rooms with flowers. and tied a white
satin ribbon on The Climax; the minis
ter and few friends came in and almost
before we knew it, Mamie and the young
architect had gone off together in hack,
with The Climax wailing in a basket on
the front seat.
But this did not break up the society,
for another good friend stood ready to
fill the vacancy, and stepped promptly
in. And did we not find the work too
hard2 Well, sometimes it seemed a
bother, but, divided among four, it was
not oppressive; and if the larder got
empty, or other work pressed, we took
our dinners out for a day or two.
And we did not get tired of it, but
after three years trial of the plan, are
more and more satisfied, for it is
home. We leave itin the morning with
regret, and return to it gladly at night,
feeling that it is ours, that we are not
there on sufference, but by right And
this sense of security and permanently en-
courage us to add comforts and even
luxuries to our surroundings, and think
you might hunt up and down the city
and not find more contented and COM

of the Home Cooperative society.-Har-

Center of Earthquake Trouble.

Though some terrible earthquakes
occur in Europe and Asia, South America
seems to be the center of trouble. In
1912 the city of Caracas, in Venezuela,
was destroyed in three shocks, each of
which did not occupy twenty seconds.
In 1859 the city of Callao was also com
pletely demolished, this being the second
time. The first time a wave came in from
the sea one hundred feet high, and with
out warning burst upon the city. In
1922 an earthquake produced some
strange changes in the Andes. Noun
tains were leveled, others were raised,
and tract of land one thousand miles
square was bodily elevated about seven
feet.
1t has been learned from old records
that the destruction of Herculaneum and
Pompeii was nearly accomplished by an
earthquake sixteen years before the ashes
of Vesuvius covered them from sight
Biblical records tells us that earthquakes
were felt in Syria in the time of Ahab,
900 BIC, and also in the reign of Uzziah,
800 B. @. In Josephus there is mention
of an earthquake that desolated Judea at
the time of the battle of Actium, 81 b.
c., destroying over 10000 people. An
tioch has been visited by some terrible
scenes. The worst visitation was in 526,
A. D., when over 200, 900 persons were
destroyed. Sixty years later another
shock destroyed so, 900 more.

(Which means" said Kate" dropping
her official manner, ''that we have had
all this good time, and don't owe a cent
for anything, and have siE dollars and
seventeen cents apiece coming back to
us :" and she counted out four little piles
of money.
"And coal in the bin, and food in the
larder," added Beth.
The next month we paid five dollars
week each, and had a surplus, and after
that, four dollars a week usually covered
all expenses.
When we started, though we asked no
advice, we had floods of it, and no end
of dismal predictions. "Youll quarrel, 4"
''You'll run in debt "Youll find the
work too hard, " you'll get tired of it, 4"
and, most dreadful of all, you'll be
talked aboutn
"Well," said Kate, when this was
brought up, 'if good name in the past,
and orderly living in the future won't
save us, why, let them talk. They must
talk about something, and while we are
under discussion somebody else will es-
cape" So that was disposed of. And
we did not run into debt, and we did
not quarrel. 1t would be too much TO
say that we never differed, but our diff
ferences were never bitter.
