No wonder he could not do without her,

must kiss them without waking them
Hush! what nonsense she is dreaming!

OSCAR TADPOLE.

"Oscar! Oscar! Where are you,
Oscar Tadpole?"
Aunt Lizzie's voice sounded so
clear and mellow as she called out in
the morning air, that Howard and
Nellie and Joe, who we're ~cultivating
the acquaintance of old Brindle's new
bossy on the other side of the house,
left the baby calf very unceremoni-
ously and fled in the direction of the
well-house from whence came the
sound of her voice.
The three little folks we're Aunt Liz
zie's visitors from the city and it was
the first day Of their visit, which was
to last two weeks of the summer va
cation.
Aunt Lizzie lived on a beautiful
farm in the country, and Nellie and
Howard and Joe had talked about
this visit for more than six months,
in fact ever since Christmas-time.
"Who were you calling, Aunt Liz
zie?" said Nellie, who arrived on the
scene a few seconds behind the boys,
having fallen down and stained her
hands and knees with the green grass.
"My old friend, Oscar Tadpole,"
said Aunt Lizzie.
''Is he old?" said Howard. ooh,
I thought he was a boy"
"He is NEITHER" replied Aunt Liz
zie with a smile ''and the one who
guesses what he is shall have a turn
over pie for dinner"

@RiIdren's Corner,
IN

I'd know when bedtime came, dears, IL all the
clocks stood still,
And the sun should keep on shining above the
green old hill;
For it's then the little children no longer care
for play,
But want to go to Dreamtown, a thousand
miles away.
How do they go to Dreamtown? They shut
their eyes, and 10,
Across the moonlit valleys and DER the hills
they go;
And quite before they know it, so the wise
people say,
They're in the Dreamtown country, a thou
sand miles away.
What do they do in Dreamtown? oh, every
thing that's nice.
There sweet things are SO plenty they never
have a price.
You've but to take and eat them, and those
who 20 there say
There Is no place like Dreamtown, athousand
miles away.
They tell of Mince Pie Island, and Roasted
Turkey Hill,
Where they go when they gethungry, as folks
in Dreamtown will;
And you've just to take your choice, dears, at
least SO I've heard say,
OF all good things in Dreamtown, q thousand
miles away.
There's a grove where fire crackers grow in
punches ON the trees,
And a mill that grinds out marbles, and such
like things as these,
And everybody helps himself to all he wants,
they say;
For that's the rule in Dreamtown, a thousand
miles away.
There's nothing that you wish for when you
are wide-awake
That isn't found in Dreamtown. They tell me
that they take
The biggest kind Of sugar. plums, and dolls
are picked each day
From every bush in Dreamtown, a thousand
miles away.
Goodnight, my drowsy darlings. The sleepy
eyelids close,
And straight to this strange country each little
traveller goes.
Whom morning glory trumpets are blown at
break Of day
You'll all come back from Dreamtown, q thou.

"Truly, isn't he q boy?' asked
Joe.
Aunt Lizzie shook her head.
"He's a dog" put in Howard bu'
Aunt Lizzie kept on shaking her head,
while Nellie guessed a kitty, and Joe
guessed a mud turtle, and the whole
category of birds, beasts and fish
were suggested.
Again Aunt Lizzie called, 20,
Oscar, Oscar Tadpole!" and she
raped on the boards with her broom.
All at once out ambled or rather
jumped Oscar Tadpole. He was q
great fat toad. Nellie uttered a cry
and hid behind Aunt Lizzie's skirts.
"My; but isn't he big!' exclaimed
Joe.
"He's as big as a turnover pie,"
said Howard regretfully, thinking how
sorry he was he had been too stupid
to guess q toad.
Joe bent over him curiously.
"Don't you touch him, joey; you'll
get warts all over your hands," eau
toned Nellie in terror.
But Oscar Tadpole had no notion
of becoming familiar on such short
acquaintance, and back he hoped
again.
However, Aunt Lizzie did not for
get the turnover, and it was such a
big pie, if each one had guessed cor
rectly concerning Oscar Tadpole, they
could not have wished for more.
The children had a beautiful time
at Aunt Lizzie's. They rode on In
Gle Henry's horses and on the stone
boat, and on the hay, and ate apples
in the orchard and berries from the
bushes; they roasted corn and baked
potatoes in the sand and had the mer-
riest sort of a time.
One morning Aunt Lizzie said, II
wonder where Oscar Tadpole is; 1
haven't seer him in a long time-not
in nearly a week. Let us all go and
call him." The children went with
her, and when she raped, what was
their amazement to see Oscar appear
with about ten little Oscars following
in her footsteps.
How the children shouted and
danced for glee.
But something attacked the family
that night and the next morning they
found them under the house all dead.
"Let's bury them," said Nellie, al
most in tears.
So they made a little cemetery in
the fence corner, in the shade, and
then they buried each one in a neat
little grave by itself, and one single
bore the inscription "In memory of
Mrs. Oscar Tadpole and her family of
ten children"
And this summer when Joe and
Howard and Nell 60 to visit Aunt
Lizzie again, they will find it just as
they left it, for Aunt Lizzie has taken
care that nothing disturbed the rest

A GARD.

EDITOR HERALD:-In your issue Of
May 80, you criticise a resolution
which appeared over my signature as
Secretary of a Surveillance.
YOU seem to be unable to under
stand what the resolution means. It
does not say mo person will be pre-
sented for Office who eyer held or
sought Office. It means should two
come up for Office who are equally
competent and honorable, one of
whom has held or now holds Office,
we favor the other, or if you please,
we don't believe the Office should be
perpetual. It casts no sIurs on those
who have held Office. It means if Of
fee is a good thing, pass it around,
if 1t is not, do not impose it on the
same person again.
If you have "championed'' our
cause for years you must have read
our Great Magma Charta, which says
equal rights to all, and special prive-
1eges to none, and the resolution is in
harmony with this, and we can't see
wherein it is ''unwise'.
We have set the stake and until we
are convinced it is in the wrong place
will let 1t remain.
But when one says as did the pre-
sent Sheriff of Phillips county said
to us, "You are all rebels every one
of you, and I don't want nothing
more to do with any of your outfit, :"
then we don't think the resolution re-
ferred to is sufficient for the case and
I would recommend the following:
Re8olred, That for him and all
such we will under no consideration
support for Office but instead will os-
tracize. Sincerely,
T. n. SHINN.

Demonetizing Silver.

From the press dispatches from
Washington we take the following
item to show some of the tricks that
have been resorted to to contract the
currency and rob the people.
Senators Stewart and Teller have
been making an investigation into the
history of the enactment of the law
Of 1872 which demonetized silver ard
they say it was gotten through the
senate by a trick. They say that the
demOnetizing section of the silver bill
was reported from the senate commit
tee on finance, but that it was not
read from the secretary's desk and
was not therefore considered in the
senate. Otherwise they believe it
would have been defeated. The dis
covery has caused a great deal of
comment and will be used as a strong
argument in favor of a law remOne-
tizing silver at this time. They say
that the demonetizing of silver would
never have taken place had it not
been for tricks in the interest of Wall
street financial bears.-ALLjGuce Tg'5-

REGISTER of Deeds, Ward, has been
examining the records in his Office

amount Of mortgages filed and re-
leased from Jan. 1 to May 20, and
finds the result to be: Mortgages
filed, $8z833.92 Mortgages released

the amount of mortgages released ex-

Farmers Views on the Alliance.
EDITOR HERALD: 81 notice that you
have opened up an Alliance Depart
ment in the HERALD and invite farm
ers to contribute to it. I have been a
reader of the HERALD for several
years and while the paper has been
kept right up to the times, and I have
always been it's friend and patron, I
am now more friendly than ever to it,
and I wish to contribute my mite to
make the Alliance Department inter
esting. I hope many otheEs will send
in their thoughts for this column.
What the farmers want is to act in
diligently and unitedly in this great
Alliance movement to gain their
rights. In the main the principles
set forth in the Alliance platforms are
sound and good, and they must be
carried out before farmers have their
rights. I do not contend that every
thing that Alliances have demanded
are correct, No, some demands made
are impractleRble, not to say foolish.
For instance the resolutions passed
by some Alliances that lawyers shall
not be elected to any Office, not even
that Of Judges and Prosecuting At
torneys, but that nobody but farmers
shall fill even these Offices. Such res
olutions hurt our movement, but I dc
not believe they are endorsed by
many members of the Alliance.
Another position taken by sQme
that That nobody shan pc gqppoIrtfed for az
qqffHE6q9 Who has ever held one, is no
we'll taken from my stand point.
/ What We as farmers want is an intel
| hgent understanding Of our wants

EDIToR's REMARKS: In inviting cor
respondents to write for the Alliance
department. we meant to say that they
should avoid unpleasant personalities.
Every body of course understands
that the editor of the HERALD does
not hold himself responsible for the
statements OF correspondents. AS to
Sheriff Scrivener, we have regarded
him as an honorable, good officer,
and as to the above accusation of Mr..
Shinn we have to say that Mr.. Scriv-
ener shall have full opportunity and
space, If he wishes it, in the HERALD
in which to answer the charge made
by Mr.. Shinn, and after both sides
shall have been properly heard, we
shall insist that correspondents shall
avoid personalities in their articles in
the Alliance columns.

effort to secure to ourselves those
things wanted. These leading wants
are: Equal rights to all, and special
privileges to none', In all things es-
sential unity, in ali things charity.
We should be SO united as to form
mutual cooperative or helpful socie-
ty-in which the chief corner stone is
to live and let 1--we. While we should
oppose class legislation as the one
chief cause of the evils we complain
of, we should rehgiously avoid fav-
Oring class legislation for farmers
alone. We should do equal and ex-
act justice to all people, whether they
are farmers or follow some other oc-
cupation.
Let US demand an increase of the
volume of currency of the country,
the control by the Government of the
means of transportation, a law
against the extortion of usur0us in
terest; the suppression of the so
called trusts which are formed to put
up the prices of the necessities of
life for the benefit of the speculator,
a law making bribery a crime, and
meanwhile let US educate ourselves
and children by reading, discussing,
thinking, and thus prepare ourselves
to grapple with these and other
questions which are so closely identi-
fed with our interests and not only
ours but the interests of society in
general. It has been said that
knowledge is power and this is self
evident and needs no argument
Farmers must take good newspapers
and books and read them, and do
more earnest thinking and then unite
in one common purpose to accomplish
what legislation they want. They
should move with care and delibera-
ton and avoid making impractical
and unwise demands, and show to
the world that all they want is fair
play in the race of life, and while op-
posing class legislation, should have
a care not to demand class Iegisla-
ton securing special privil eyes to
us as d class which cannot be enjoyed
by those following different pursuits
Much can be accomplished by leg.

| those are sent to our halls Of lebisla-
ton who are in full accord with oul
general purposes.
I believe a brighter and better day
is dawning for the farmer and indus
trious worker in every calling, and /

THE Farmers AdUunce of Norton,
which is the organ of the Farmers
Alliance of this District, gives this
description of VIM. Baker the Ali
ance candidate for Congress:
It is with the greatest of pleasure
that we place the name of William
Baker, of Lincoln County, at the head
of our editorial column as the nOmi-
nee of the E. A. & l. y. and KS. of
L. of the 9Th Congressional District
Mr.. Baker is our choice because he is
a man of undisputable ability, a man
pure and clean character, has a good
record, a record free from political
chIcanery-a farmer-and a man that
has never before been in the field as
a candidate for any Office. Bro. Bak-
or was born in Washington Co., Pa.
April 18th, 1881 was raised on a farm
| and has lived on his farm in Lincoln
| Co., Kansas, since 1873. He was in
the Iowa service and proved himself
a faithful soldier. Although not a
minister, as the daily press are wont
| to have it, he IS member Of the
/ Christian Church. And tits our hon
est opinion that Mr.. Baker will be-
by an exceedingly large majority the
choice of the people of this, the 9Th
| Congressional district He Is a mar
that every soldier can cOncientiously
! stand by.

The chief cause of poverty is plain
" the lack of property. Property
means those things produced, en-
HANGED by human labor, and which
are necessary for human life or en-
ioyment. Money is a governmental
machine to measure the value of pro
perry. There is more productive
power, and, therefore, more property
to-day than ever before. Therefore
poverty is not due to a decrease IN
the quantity of property. The cause
of poverty is the unequal and unfair
distribution of property, whereby
those who create it, obtain little of it,
and those who handle it become pos
sessed of most of it. The remedy is
governmental intervention, in the in
terest of ''the general welfare, to in
crease the rewards of labor and de-
crease the accommodations of cunning.
