Beauty of American Women's Feet.

American women have made Paris
their second home for so long that there
Is little to be said about their demeanor
here. They are great favorites with
dress,nakers, and especially admired for
their little feet. The French shoemakers
say that they shaxe-down the lasts of
even the Spanish womsn to fit the beau
tiful American foot. A well arched foot
looks better in boot than in shoe, and
It Is sad to see a foot crumpled up in a
tight slipper and too high heel, a per
feet piece OF Chinese deformity. To do
Americans justice, they do not have to
squeeze their feet to make them look
small, and the only advice to give them
Is to go to England for their walking
shoes and to learn to walk more.-Paris

THE SIN OF OMISSION.
It isn't the thing you do, dear,

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit Of heartache
At the setting Of the sun;
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent. dear.
Are your haunting ghosts tonight
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of the brothers way,
The bit Of hearthstone counsel
You we're hurried too much to say;
The loving touch Of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
Tha' you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough Of your own.
These little acts of kindness,
So easily out Of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which even mortals find
They come In night and silence,
Each child reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped on faith
For life Is all too short, dear,
And sorrow Is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you the bitter heartache
At the setting Of the sun.

Mems Dress Don,t su,, How

The Anglo-lndian official swelters in
scarlet cloth under a tropic sun; the Jap
anese wears a tall hat under his tulip
trees; the farmer of Illinois cuts his
wheat in rusty surtout; the Italian
peasant perspires in cheap ulster; the
English statesman SHORES under black
chimney pot; they are all as i'll clad and
as thoroughly uncomfortable as men can
be. Who will teach them the supreme
truth that the man alone is well dressed
who is dressed in keeping with his sta
ton and his occupation, and that while
male dress is as senseless, as ugly and
useless as it at present is, it is absurd to
pirate of the taste or to boast of the wis
dom of civilization?-Oui

a Real Live Zulu.

In San Diego there is a man who is
supposed to be full blooded Zulu and
who goes by the name of Stephens be-
cause no one can pronounce his Zulu
name. He says he was q member of
Cetewayo's body guard during the Zulu
war, and was in the skirmish in which
Prince Napoleon was killed. He shows
numerous scars and relics in proof of his
assertion and talks hideous iargon that
may be Zulu or Choctaw for all any
one here can teu.-San Diego Bee.

In another column will be found an
Illustrated Advertisement of a new
toy, which not only affords great
pleasure to the children, but is enjoy
ed by all ages as Parlor Amuse-
ment. This new feature is Vacuum
Tipped Arrow which can be shot
either from bow or gun, and will
adhere wherever it strikes. One of
the advantages which this has over a
common arrow is, that it is perfectly
harmless, it can be shot even at your
window without breaking, the arrow
simply sticking where it strikes. A
Graduated Target numbered from 25
to 100 accompanies each Spring Steel
Bow or Gun, arrow and butterfly hang
err, which will show the experiences of
the marksman.
When selecting your toys for the
holidays, remember that gift of this
kind is one that will be greatly ap-
preciated.

l. N. Cochran of Hiawatha, Kan

in this vicinity. Mr.. Cochran is a
native of Winhall, but left there when
20 years of age going to Massachus-
etts. In 1872 he went to Kansas,
where he still resides. Mr.. Cochran
speaks enthusiastically of Kansas and
its products. He is engaged with A..
j. Davenport, another native of Win

ing it a success. He leaves at this
Office some fine specimens of Kansas
corn. He will leave this vicinity in a
few days for Chicopee Falls, Mass.
where he has three sisters, and will
remain there until about the first of
February when he will return to Kan
sas. Mr.. Davenport is also East at
this time, and the two are visiting,
collecting information about their
business, and looking out for good
help to take back with them. We are
always pleased to chronicle the sue
cess of the Green mountain boys,
either at home or in new homes made
by honest industry and perseverance
in the great West.

92 YEARS IN THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

| 92 YEARS IN THE BATTLE OF LIFE.
And well preserved. This is long
time to live, and but few reach so
near century. Mrs. Nancy Coch-
ran, who resides with her relatives,
H. H. Collins and sister, Emeline,
has reached the age of 92, and though
these long years have told upon her
physically, her mind seems unimpair-
ed, and she can tell you many rem
iniscences of her early life and the
early history of this town. Mrs.
Cochran's father was one of the first
settlers, settling on the farm now own
ed by j. N. Hunting. She was the
youngest daughter and the only one
now living Of the family.
In nearing life's boundary line she
is blessed with one of the best of
homes-something that she fully APP
preciates and thanks God for-where
every tender care and affection is be-
slowed, and all her wants and needs
anticipated. And thus will she finish
life's course and with her, death will
be the awakening to fairer fields.

Why Should Merriam Pay for
a Nomination if He Is a
Farmers Horse?

The significant political events of the
week have been the Endorsement of
Scheffer by numerous subordinate
Farmers alliances throughout the state;
the inauguration in Southern Minnesota
of a movement to nominate Eugene
Wilson for governor on the Democratic
ticket; the declaration of Capt. Henry
A. Castle that the Republicans must
send an instructed Blaine delegation to
Chicago, and the boom for j. A. Whee-
lock as delegate to Chicago. Merriam
stock has not advanced, the Nc
Gill sentiment has grown a bit
stronger, and the Schetfer combine
is all the talk. 1t seems settled that
Knute Nelson, Gilman and Schetfer
have Joined hands to make canvass as
an independent faction. Gilman is to
run for congress in the Fifth. The fight
to be made is to secure the solid German
and Norwegian vote and the diSatfected
of both parties. From different sections
of the state the report comes that the
Columbia Liquor Dealers association is
working for Scheffer. 1t appears to be
settled that Schetfer does not really eX-
pect the Republican nomination, will
not seek the Democratic, and intends to
make an independent fight. The Blaine
feeling in the state has developed very
RAPIDLY during the week.

GERMAN DEMOCRATS.
New York Germans Meet to Or
ganize for the Campaign.

New YORK, March 6.-The central
committee of the United German Dem
ocrats of New York city, consisting of
one delegate from each election district,
met tonight to reorganize preparatory
to the coming campaign. The platform
demands a systematic cOndifcation of
the national and state tax laws to relieve
commerce of unnecessary burdens, re-
duction of the surplus in the treasury, an
excise law to legitimatize the liquor
traffic and protection against the police
chicanery; the opening of saloons on
Sunday afternoon and evening; strict
supervision over. corporations and pre-
ventiOn of stock watering; abolition of
trusts, and legal recognition of working
mems unions. Resolutions highly com
mending the course of President Cleve-
land in preambles and resolutions as
follows were passed:
T. "ResOlved, That the United Demo-
cratic party exert its whole influence to
secure the nomination and election Of
Grover Cleveland; that the united Ger
man Democrats shall ask for repre-
sentation in the state Democratic con-
uention to be held on May 10, in the
city of New York, and that the dele
gates to that convention shall insist on
representation in the national Demo
cratic convention"
