The democracy are very anxious to
bring Mckinley forward as a pres
idential possibility. Mr.. Mckinley
was elected to Judo the evils arising
in Oaio from democratic administra-
sion and that work will be attended
to before any other. Four, or eight,
or even twelve years hence it will do
to name Governor Mckinley for the
presidency, but at present Ohio needs
him worse than the White House
does.

THE present high price of wheat in
Europe is favorable to the introduce
tion of American corn as food pro-
duct. The European people are at
present very imperfectly acquainted
with the value of maize as a food, and
could it's real worth be once demon
strated and its palatableness, under
the many forms in which it can be
prepared, be known it would soon
come into general use.

A Small BOYS Victory.

He was such q little fellow that
when he wanted to see the basket OF
fine, ripe pears which mamma had
left on the table, he had to bring his
little stool and climb upon it to reach
high enough.
o my! how nice they did look
And what a delicious smell They
must taste very good, how could he
help just taking one?
Surely it would not be missed, the
basket was so full. And nobody was
by to see if he did it, so what was to
hinder?
For moment Teddy almost put his
hand upon the incest one in the lot.
But I am glad to say the little hand
was drawn away, and the bright-eyed
little man said firmly, "No, / won't
Mamma told me not to touch them,
and I won't do it. I promised her !
wouldn't and if l do it would be tell
ing q story. No, Mister Pear, you
must stay right there in the basket,
and l'll run away for fear | might do
it if looked too long"
Down hoped Teddy, and off he
went. Mamma smiled to find him
busy with bis red horse-lines when she
came back and the fruit undisturbed.
think Teddy was a very brave lit
tie boy, even if he did run away from
temptation. 1t is braver to run than
to stay sometimes, and Teddy was a
better boy for having gained that small
victory over his appetite.-Sunbeam.

A Place for Every Thing.

"If you'll learn by the time you are
eighteen to put things in their places,
when you put them out of your hands,
YOU shall have q nice new silk Dress
So said Mrs. Dows to her daughter
Marion. TO have silk dress, q neaC
silk dress, was the rosy dream of Mar
ion Dow's ambition. II am nine
wears old now," she said to herself,
'.and in nine more l shall be eighteen.
l think in that time, if try hard, |
can form the habit of putting every
thing in its place"
But if things are to be put in their
places, there must be places for them.
So Marion made special bag and
hung it in one special place for her
knitting work, which hitherto she had
laid down anywhere where she hap
pened to be. Now she always knew
where her knitting could be found,
and it was really easier to take a few
steps, indeed quite number of steps,
to put it in place, than to hunt every
where, high and low, when it wasn't
in it's place. Then she made a place
for her work-boX, and was careful to
put her scissors and thimble and nee
Gie-book back into the box when she
was done using them. Little by little
she formed the habit. When she
came in from church she put her hat
and gloves In their places, Instead Of
laying them on the sofa or bed or some
chair, and when she went out on the
street she didn't have to hunt for them
moment. AS time went OH she no
ticed where this article and that that
did not belong to her was kept, until,
if any one in the family was at loss
to find what he or she wanted, Marion
would be appealed to, and she rarely
failed to give the desired information.
BY the time she was eighteen she had
formed the habit her orderly mother
had so much wished she should form.
And she had grown so capable in some
ways that she YVES able to earn the
promised silk by teaching. OF course,
this dless lasted long, long time, but
Marion rarely looked at it or wore it
but she thought of the morning her
mother had promised it to her, and
the words would come back, "When
you put any thing out of your hands,
put it in its place."
Marion has been a housekceper on
her own account for forty years, and
Of all the lessons taught her by her
mother, this of putting things in their
places is one Of the most valuable; for
if we put ourselves in the right places,
and all our belongings in their appro-
pirate places, we are quite sure to es-
cape thousand evils and secure ever
lasting good.

This very practical and wholesome
advice, taken from the Ladies' Home
Journal, is worthy of careful thought,
and even of wider circulation than it
is receiving:
IA girl l know said, Pm a great
one for making friends 1t sounds as
if she ought to be very happy, but
when [ found minute to think, ]
wondered if she were good at keeping
them. Making friends is easy to the
girl who is bright and happy. whose
society gives pleasure and who is geni-
al. But the Keeping of them demands
more than this.
'tIf you want to keep a friend, do
not get too intimate with her.
"Have your own thoughts, and per-
NIT her to have hers.
do not demand too much of her in
the way of confidence.
"And do not be too aggressive, want
ing to know why she has not done
this and why she does not think as
you do.
'If you think your friends style of
dress is not beautiful, do not tell her
you only offend her, because deep in
her heart she is convinced that she
knows great deal more about it than
sou do. :.
'Do not find fault with your friends
friend, and do not expect to be the on
ly one given a corner in her heart.
"Be as considerate of her feelings as
If she were stranger, and remember
that p0liteness is an every day gar
ment, and not one intended on y for
high days and holidays. TO sum it
up in one sentence, preserve the cour-
tesy of the beginning. if you wish to
Keep y0urfftendship to the end"

Perfect Through Suffering.

God never would send you the darkness
Il He felt you could bear the light;
But you would not cling TO His guiding hand
If the way were always bright;
And you would not care TO walk by faith,
Could you always walk by sight.
'TiS true lie has many an anguish
For your sorrowtul heart I bear,
And many cruel thorn-crown
For your tired head 10 wear;
He knows how few wonid reach heaven al all
II pain did not guide them there.
So He sends you the binding darkness,
And the furnace Of seven fold heat;
'Tis the only way, believe me,
70 keep you close to His feet,
For tits always SO easy to wander
When our lives are glad and sweet.
Then nestle your hand In your Fathers,
And sing, If you can, Us you GO;
Your sony may cheer some one behind you
Whose courage is sinking low,
And, well, II your lips DO CULVER
God will love you better so.

A Parrot Story.

Our next door neighbor, writes a
correspondent, own all amusing parrot
which is always getting into mischief,
but who usually gets out again with
out much trouble to herself. When
she has done anything for which she
knows she ought to he punished, she
holds her head 10 one side, and eyeing
her mistress, says in sin gsong tone
"polly is good girl" until she sees
her mistress smile then she flaps her
wings and cries out "Hurrah !! Polly
is good girl ~
She has been allowed to go free in
the garden, where she promenades
back and forth Oh the walks, summing
herself, and warning off all intru-
ders.
One morning hen strayed out of
the chicken yard and was quietly
picking up her breakfast, when Poll
marched up to her and called out
"ShOoW in her shrill voice. The poor
hen retreated to her own quarters,
running as fast as she could, followed
by Poll, who screamed "Shoo !" at ev-
cry step.
A few days later Poll extended her
morning walk into the chicken yard.
Here, with her usual Gu. iosity, she
went peering into every corner, till
she came to the old hen on her nest.
The hen made a dive for Polls yellow
head, but missed it. Poll, thinking
discretion the better part of valor,
turned to run, the hen, with wings
wide spread, following close after.
AS she ran, Poll screamed in her
shrillest tones, 30 Lord, o Lord"
A member of the family, who had
witnessed the performance, thought it
time to interfere in Polls behalf. He
ran out and stopping down held out
his hand. Poll lost no time in travel
ing up to his shoulder. Then. from
her high vantage ground, she turned,
and looking down on her foe, scream
ed: "Hello there! ShooW
The frightened hen returned to her
nest as rapidly as she had come.-Ash-

A DECIMAL PoINT.-In France and
Germany reduced to a decimal is
written 0,25 , in England it is written
OBS; in the United States it is always
written either OBS or simply .25 with
out the naught. In the first two coun-
tries the period is never used, always
The comma; while English writer's
use the period they never put it at the
bottom of the line as we do, but al
ways use it thus, O'25. This style is
said to have been introduced by Sir
Isaac Newton, who placed it at the top
of the line to distinguish it from the
punctuation mark.-St. Louis Repub-

Mercy and Helm,

There are not many of the oldfash-
ioned grandmothers left. The kind
we remember, with snowy hair under
q frilled white cap and white necker-
chief crossed over the bosom. These
grandmothers did not wear false teeth
or bangs, but looked old and as if they
had peppermint drops, in their big
pockets. They always had cookies
with caraway seeds in for the chill
dren. But after all there are old peo-
pie, and dear, beautiful ones, and we
wish to drop word concerning them.
Visit them often. That old lady you
laugh at would be SO happy if you
could call Oh her. Ask her to tell you
of her youth ; it will please her and
instruct you. Get up and let the old
lady sit i'm the crowded street-car.
Shake hands with the old gentlemen,
even if they do not remember you.
Be Mind and thoughtful with old peo-
pie in your church, and especially be
good TO the dear old grandmother or
grandfather in your home. Write Of
ten to them if away. Read to hen1' .efs,
and wait on them am 30 tired all
ways le-hg on the hunt for grandma's 8
''specs or handkerchief" we once heard
u young girl say. 1t was not long be-
fore the dear old hands were folded
and the sweet weak voice was still.
Then, and often since, that girl would
give anything if she could do some
small service for the grandma so
much missed. The journey has been
long and hard, make it as easy and
bright as | ossible at it's c lose. You
will he old, too, some day.

q wealth of wisdom in the answer
given by a canny Scotch farmer to a

A Very Odd Girl.

In school she ranks above her mates,
And wins the highest prizes;
She bounds correctly all the states,
And tells what each ones Size Is.
In class she will not prompt irlend,
For she doesn't believe In telling;
She heeds the rules from end to end,
And never fails in spelling.
.'She's lust as odd as odd can be-!
Say ~, the school of Esther Lee.
She keeps hcr room rs neat as wax,
And laughs t.t Peters mockings;
She mendS Priscilla's gloves and Sacqnes
And darns the family stockings;
She dusts the sitting room Tor katc,
She cares for baby brother;
She fashions balls and kites for Nate,
And runs for tired mothers;
"She's Just as odd AS she can bet
Say all al home OF Esther Lee.
For little crippled Mary Belts
She saves her brightest pennies;
She never, never sulks or frets
If she doesn't b at at tennis.
With happy words she is sure to greet
Children In lowly by ways;
She guides unsteady aged feet
Across the hustllng highways.
'She's lust as odd as odd can be-!

What Others Say.
Christian Standard.

OVERCOMING EVIL WITH GooD.-
You cannot drive darkness out of a
room with club; you caunot drive it
out with the military, nor would it
yield to the mandate of the President.
So, you cannot drive evil out of { man
with a club, nor from the world with
soldiers, nor even by ecclesiastical au.
thority. As the only thing that con-
quers darkness is light, so the only
thing which conquers evil is good.
"Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good" not only points
out the only way, but also the only al
tentative for the one who would not
be the slave of evil. Every one who
is not overcoming evil with good is
surely being overcome with evil.

Action.

Deluded age which thinks or seems to think
That naught Is action save what can be
seen;
And sets brand upon the brow serene
OF those, who from the gaze Of crowds would
shrink;
And they, who rush not boldest to the brink
OF novelties. seem coward souls and mean
And they, who pnuse and mediate between
Their deeds. at wisdom's we'll ne'er learned to
drink.
Action is prayer upon the sick mans bed;
Action Is silence, where word might wound
Action is bold rebuke, where crowds are led
To assault the walls which gird old truth
around.
Action seeks shelter, when the winds
ahead,
While those who dare the stormy waves are
drowned.
