Claiming the Earth.

The claims of some of the new party
leaders, if they had any foundation in
fact, would make peoples hair stand on
end. ROBERT SCHILLING, who has sud
denly had greatness thrust upon him
by being elected secretary of the Ma
tional Committee, takes a rosy view OF
the freaks prospects. "a Wyoming
delegate told me-" says BOB in the
would pledge the electoral vote of that
State to the party. The Nebraska del
egates were certain they could carry
their State. So were the delegates
from South Dakota and Kansas. The
party in Kentucky will carry that
State at the August election, at least
that is what the delegates assured me.
A big fight will be made in that State
and in Ohio this year. The Peoples
party men believe they can knock
JOHN SHERMAN out in Ohio. The
head of the Farmers Alliance in that
State objected to the representation of
the Alliance in the convention, but the
hall was full of Alliance men just the
same. They are enthusiastic and in
earnest. If they succeed in electing the
State ticket in Kentucky and electing
enough members of the Assembly to
defeat Sherman in Ohio, believe it
will give the new party such an impe-
tus as will make it a very important
factor in the Presidential election of
'92, even if we do not elect our candi-
date for President. The headquarters
of the National committee will, of
course, be established in Milwaukee.

meeting will be one of the biggest
things ever seen in this country. In
dianapolis and Springfield are spoken
of, but neither seem to me to be large
enough for such convention as that
will be; but the place will be selected
later and all this will be carefully con-
sidered." This is rather distressing
news to the members of the two old
parties, but if BoB's claims as to other
States have no more foundation in fact
than those as to Kentucky, ROBERT

A Court street car in Brooklyn stopped
at Harrison to let lady wearing a
spring hat alight. AT the same moment
a lady wearing her winter hat wanted to
take the same car. They met face to
face on the lower step. They were
strangers. The one with the spring hat
had the right of way, and she tossed her
head in defiant manner. Winter Hat
felt that the odds were against her, but
she braced up and looked the other
square in the eye and refused to give
way.
"All QUIT" shouted the conductor,
reaching for the bellrope.
Spring Hat would not bulge. Winter
Hat would not retreat.

Spring Hat glared at Winter Hat, and
the end of her nose was elevated bit.
Winter Hat returned the glare, and her
pug nose tried the same dodge, but
couldn't elevate.
''Ladies, don't detain the carr cried
the conductor, and his words encouraged
Winter Hat to renewed exertions. She
pulled herself up the step, crowded
Spring Hat against the side of the car,
and entered the door with smile of
triumph on her face The other stepped
off, gave her skirts a shake and her head
a toss and walked away, but despite her
dignity and defiance the conductor
looked after her and said:

lice of South Hutchinson will not dis
turb me. I could do business here all
day and clear into the night and no one
would annoy me.
Down the street there is three story
brick block with brown stone trim
mings and covering half a square. 1t
is called the Indiana block. It probably
cost $500, 900. In it mamma hornet is
building her nest. She and own the
town. How quiet it isl The hum of in
Gustry and the sharp, metallic report of
the city council have died away, and the
last echo of the exploded boom has long
since been smothered by the deep 81
lence.
Even as the hot and hungry torrent
and the dry and ashy deluge smote the
business interests of Pompeii and hushed
the great heart beat of industry and life
and social activity, so the lightning
sought out and perforated the shiny and
distended boom of South Hutchinson,
and today, while the knocking bird
whistles in the peach orchard far away,
and the shorthorn bull l-buhl is calling
to her mate in the bluegrass pastures
across the heaving prairies, myself and
the mamma hornet in the $500, 900 brick
and stone block are practically con-
trolling the business course of the town.
From The front door of my bank can
see the steam laundry of South Hutchin-
son, but no steam escapes from the
waste pipe. No cleaning white shirt
tails crack defantly in the crisp zephyrs
of Kansas. No hot, soapy air of indus
try and prosperity comes from the broken
windows and sagging doors. No strange,
mysterious health garments or singular
ly distorted and unnatural lingerie, dis
tended by the lascivious breeze, hangs
on the broken and ragged clothesline.
Near by stands the blacksmith and
carriage shop of South Hutchinson, but
the village smithy and the red fire of his
forge have gone out together. On his
door is written in blue paint, by means
of a rather passe broom:

in the giant heart of the forge. The
snithy washed his great big honest
hands in the water trough, and pulling
down his sleeves to conceal the bright
red beard upon his massive forearms he
went away. Rust and ruin are giving
place to the activity and crush and
hurry of trade.

Down a street or two farther is the
barber shop and bath works of South
Hutchinson, but even the voice of the
barber is still. couldn't, if l tried for
weeks, express the full meaning of the
term ''quiet" any more powerfully than
that. Here and there about the door
the quick eye of the visitor may see the
shorn and grizzled locks of the honest
boomer of other days, but the lather is
dry in the old sink. and the last echo of
the loud smelling hair oil of the happy
past has died away in the bosom of the
poorly planned acoustics of the past.
Even the low, hoarse death rattle of
the bathtub has ceased in its silent
throat, and the gas leak, with its hands
across its breast and its feet in the soap
dish, recks not of the fight of gathering
years.
The hotel is also quiet. Wait till I
close the safe and we will go over to the
hotel a moment. No one rushes to the
door to pull the handle off your valise
and check it for you. No one stands be-
hind the richly caparisoned counter to

amputated and dead cockroach on the

simple Questions That Puzzle.

An exceedingly wise man has some
times been caught by very simple
question of this sort. The following
for example:
How many days would it take to GU
up a piece of cloth fifty yards long, one
yard being cut off every day9
Or this:
A snail climbing up a post twenty
feet high ascends five feet every day
and slips down four feet every night
How long will it take the snail to reach
the top of the post7
These are simple questions in arith-
metic, and yet how many persons
would answer fifty days, instead of forty
nine to the first one and twenty instead
of sixteen to the last one. 1t is perhaps
scarcely necessary to point out that the
snail would gain one foot day for fif-
teen days, and on the sixteenth day
reach the top of the pole, and there, of
course, remain.-New York Tribune.

THE Gallatin Tennesseean is severe
enough to say "All the public men
in Tennessee, except Governor BUCH-
ANAN, will now be required to speak
out on the absorbing questions of the
day He has long since been excused
from that disagreeable duty. 1t is no
body's business how he stands on any
question. 1t will be matter of expe-
diency, you know, for the Democratic
party in Tennessee to swallow him and
the entire third party movement. All
this we should do for the sake of har-
mony. Keep up the organization.
BUCHANAN is Our'n and we must keep
him. What was good logic half a year
ago ought to be good logic now, but
circumstances sometimes alter cases,
and to speak the truth directly, if Mr..
BUCHANAN dickeFs and lodges and at
tempts the silent game as he did in the

spoke to Joe Harris, a member OF the

said it was rather tough to lecture with

the junction, where we had to wait
thirty minutes. I thought a moment,

it as a general thing, but he wanted to
do me favor, and he had a nice razor

We got off at the junction and retired
to the woodshed of a pleasant little cafe
near by. The rest of the passengers
came along also. All of East Tennessee
not otherwise engaged came too. Some
left their work and came. They were
still coming when we got through. The

Exercise as Wen as Diet.

BY judicious dieting alone corpu-
lent person may reduce himself in
weight, but the loss is almost always
very slow indeed after the first two or
three weeks, and ere long point is
reached when further reduction is inn
possible by this means unless he 'half
starves himself" If, however, he ex-
ercises freely as well as diets, he can
pull himself down as much as he wish
es; and this fact supports the theory
advanced-that corpulent people owe
their overweight to a choking up of
the system-for exercise is the one
grand eliminator of waste, and does
what dieting alone cannot do.-Boston
