THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land No The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and a few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

THE western White Caps it is claimed are going to run up against dynamite in their future incursions. Dynamite is generally regarded as a good deal of a persuader, and if it convinces the White Caps that it is time for them to quit their nefarious business it will have served a very useful purpose. The White Caps are getting obnoxious.

Grants Simplicity and Luck.

Leonard SWEET told an interesting
story the other day, Illustrative of Gen.
Grants traditional good luck, as well
as his lack of what is called shrewdness
in commercial dealings. When Grant
was engaged in writing his memoirs
the Century company, which had been
publishing some of his war articles IN
the Century magazine, offered him
$4,000 for the manuscript of his book.
Webster, the publisher, also had his
eye on the alert for the forthcoming
work, and one day called on the gen
eral to inquire about it. Grant was
seated at his desk. about to attach his
signature to the Century company 5
contract, which lay before him. 1t had
apparently never occurred to him to
ask more for his literary production.
Webster intimated that he would like
to make an offer.
eff it would not be impertinent, he
said, 81 would like to inquire how much
the Century company agrees to pay
you?"
''Ten thousand dollars Gen. Grant
said.
''Then wouldn't sign that contract
JUST yet, Salu w custer.
"Why not?'
Because | will pay YOU $50, 600"
Gen. Grant opened his eyes in amaze
ment. 1t had not occurred to him to
set so high a value on his work; he had
not thought of dickering beyond the
first offer. But he did not sign the
contract.
Afterward Mark Twain. Webster's
relative and business partner, called
and told the general that none of the
publishers had offered him what his
manuscript was worth. Il will give
you 100000 and royalty" he said.
So Webster & Co. became Grants pub
fishers. The firm has grown rich out
of Grants book, and Grants family has
been paid over 100000.
'And Grants book" said Mr.. SWEET
in conclusion, ''will become a classic
more valuable than Caesars Common
taries.' | consider it the greatest
achievement of General Grants won
derful life to have written such work
with death looking over his shoulders. :"

An Artists Vocabulary.

The only mark of their Identification
that we can think of is their decided
tendency to cultivate special parlance
to use an artists vocabulary; q tech
nology which to the uninitiated ear is
equal to any Gypsy lingo, pigeon Eng
lish, or dog Latin. As a general thing
the richer this vocabulary becomes the
more indefinite are its terms. If you
listen to a group of students in an art
gallery YOU are apt to hear some such
expressions as these: ''Isn't thata stun
ming Millet? | tell you what, there's

phere; it hangs together, too; [ call

there, is 'howler'?" we remember be-
ING asked once by a speaker who

The Old Home Revisited.

The dear old home in golden sunlight lay,
All day the simple people to and fro
Moved through the quiet summer ways; all
day
i stranger in the well remembered place.
Where Time has left not one familiar face
knew long years ago.
Unchanged as in my dreams lay the fair land,
But the laughter-lOving lips, the eager feet,
The hands that clasped warm welcome to my
hand,
The hearts that a my coming higher beat,
Have long been cold in death; no glad sur
prise
wakens for me in any living eyes
That once made life so sweet.
Slowly the day drew down the golden west;
The purple shadows heightened on the
plain,
Yet l. unresting through a world at rest,
Went silent with my memory and my pain,
Then, for little space, across the years
To me- bowed down with time and worn
with tears.
Ny friends came back again.
One moment brief, too radiant to last
They gathered round me then, happy
throng.
They came from out the dim and shadowy
As last I saw them, young and gay and
strong,
And my lost youth returned-fair as in days
used to wander down the Old pathway
With many q laugh and song.
All me. on many Ong-lOst summer night
We stood together here, these friends and !,
Watching the pale and lingering fringe of
light
Go slowly creeping round the northern sky.
All God if all the weary years could give
But one dear hour of that dear time to live
Once more-and then to die!
The old sweet fragranc ills the summer air,
The same light lingel on the northern sea,
Still as of yOre the dear nome lies fair
Beneath the silent stars, the melody
OF moving waters still is on the shore,
And ] am here again-but never more

NO OTHER RAILWAY E6S7Av n The

has in so short period gained the rep
utation and popularity enjoyed by the
WISCONSIN CENTRAL LINE. From
a comparatively unknown factor in the
commercial world, it has been trans
formed to an independent, influential,
grand Through Route, with magnif-
cent depots, superb equipments and I'M
surpassed terminal facilities. Through
careful catering to details, it has won
for itself a reputation for solidity, safety,
convenience and attention to its pat
rons, second to no railroad in the
country. Pullman sleepers, models of
palatial comfort, dining cars In which
the cuisine and general appointments
are up to the highest standard, and
coaches especially built for this route,
are among the chief elements which
have contributed towards catering sue
cessfully to a discriminating public.
Located directly on its line, between
Chicago and Milwaukee, and st. Paul

land and Duluth, are the following thirty
ing cities of Wisconsin and Michigan:

A LATER REPORT.

The Whole Business Portion of the Town De-
stroyed-The People Likely to Suffer
PITTsBURG, June 1S.-The fire at Du-
bois could not be controlled until it had
destroyed the whole business portion OF
the town and several hundred residences.
The loss is put by the insurance
agents at million dollars, but
this is likely large es.
innate. An area a mile long by an
average of neraIY half a mile wide, is al
most complete ruin. The blackened
walls and piles of Goals is all that is left
of one of the most prosperous towns with
in a hundred miles. Three thousand
people are homeless and destitute tonight
and in need of immediate aid or they
must suffer. The flames spread 80 rapidly
that many of them escaped with barely
their clothing which they wore.

The funeral ceremonies ended shortly be-
fore o'clock.
BERLIN, June 1S-In spite of the hurry
IN the separations the funeral was not
merelay military display worthy of the
great soldier, but ceremonial, graced by
every evidence of public grief
and affection. The brillianey of the
uniforms glitterlng in the sun
presented picture ver7 different from
that presented on the occasion Of the
funeral of Emperor William. As the
cortege moved along every head was I'M
covered, and there was hardly dry eye.
The services in tie church was most
impressive. In the srchway of the
church the emperor Thanked the relatives
fer their presence and then babe them
adleu. The church was then cleared and
prepared fer the solemn service. The
Empress Victoria, unable to bear
the strain of the ceremony, drove
with the three youngest daughters to
Bornstedt arranging the drive so as to
return wheE all was over. Upon her re-
turn she went to church unattended and
prayed beside the coffin.

The Young Critic.

A bright youngster who visited the
Corcoran Art Gallery the other day
was apparently very deeply impressed
with that famous little example of Ital-
ian sculpture, The Forced Prayer"
1t will be remembered that the statue
represents a small boy in a very alb
breviated garment who holds his club
by hands together in front of him in
an attitude of prayer, while his small
face represents every possible shade of
disgust and rebellion. But our young
ster had a different explanation of the
motive of the statue, which he tersely
stated to his father on his return home
somewhat in this wise: can, papa, |
sawed little image of a boy what had
been chasin' a little chicken in his
night-gown. An he DIES catch de little
chicken upin his hands an he squoshed

The railway stations at Berlin and Pots

crowds have congregated outside both
stations. Soldiers and police are visible
everywhere. The castle Friedrickskron

ministers took their places around the
coffin. The cathedral choir sang two
hymns, the first beginning "Soon Thou
Cailest Me to Higher joys" and the sec

singing the hymn, ''If [ Am TO Die"

Boom They Will Support.
CHICAGO, June 18.-The New England
delegations were in caucus twice to-day.
At the fist caucus the candidacy of every
aspirant was discussed, and it was de-
cided that New England could make
itself felt by presenting united
front. At the second caucus the
feasibility of voting with New
York on first ballot was considered and
the majority of the Connecticut men
strongly urged this course of action. The
conference committees were appointed
to talk with the managers of the various
bnoms and report the situation to the
meeting to be held tomorrow.

According to NJ Blavier,s tbaorr :

According to NJ. Blavier's theory, the
great earthquake disturbances of 1855,
1884 and 1887 are to be associated with
the abnormal accommodations of ice
about the north pole. He supposes
such accumulations to have caused a
detection of the Gulf Stream away
from Europe, producing great climatic
changes and slight disturbance of
equilibrium IL the sea bottom, followed
by a possible local fracture along the
lne of Least resistance.
