When the leather in your shoes be-
comes old and begrimed with blackine
you will ascertain that the feet will be
cold. Then it is time to cast aside the
shoes and use them to wear beneath
arctics or for some other purpose. II
you want to keep your shoes in good
condition you should use vaseline on
them often. The life will be kept in
the leather, and if rightly applied you
can shine the footwear Just as well as
If the preparation had never been used.
Put it on at night when taking off the
shoes. There are castor and like oils,
also, that will as well serve the purpose
and keep your shoes and boots in good
shape, imparting much greater warmth
to the feet.-New York Journal

His mind dwelt upon the things that
are not seen. He thought much and
liked to converse about religious sub
Jects and no one could be long in his
company without having such matters
brought before them. For more than
ninety years he has resided in this
town. He was the Oldest member of
the Baptist church in this place.
Thrice within week has the bell on
this church tolled the departure Of

State INSPECTOR of Finance. Gree

State Inspector of Finance, Green,
has issued circular warning the peo-
pie against the large number of "nu-
merical investment companies" that
are as thick in Massachusetts and
New Hampshire as cobble stones.
Some of these have applied for license
to do business in this state but have
beeen refused by the inspector. The
document is lengthy one, but tie
pith of it is that these companies Of
fer something for nothing and there
fore may find many to invest. Well,
let them invest. Experience is not
cheap school but certain classes will
learn in no other. Let them learn.
Then its SO charming to think you are
going to get something for nothing
that it seems almost wicked for the
inspector to step in and cry humbug.

A NEW OLD SONG.

pray as men have prayed since earth WA

In varied voice or speech, prayer OF pain,
l sing-ah me! the song is ever sung,
And evermore as now, In vain, in vain.
IT'S oh, to be a little child once more
little, lowly child dear God pray,
Iwould give all my life has yet In store
Could retraco my childhoods rosy way
Oh, cruel questioning eyes, so keen and bright
Oh, cruel, all revealing MONDAY sum-
How can choose but shudder at the light,
When have only wrecks to gaze upon
oh, for the long shadows of the morn
CThe sun shone only on high places then)
To veil me or from pity or from scorn--
Would God were snless child again.
How can / choose but mourn my lost estate
OF high emprise and white untroubled trust
The palace Of my dreams made desolate
My king uncrowned, my treasures turned tc
dust
Oh, tell me not that life has much in store
Can it give back what once cast aways
But oh, to be a little child once more =
little, lowly child dear God, pray

AN ILLUSTRATION IN REAL LIFE.

Last December, about the 23d of the
month, a Tennessee farmer hauled
fifty-fve bales of cotton to his market
town, and not being satisfied with the
price offered, he stored it for an adj
vance. On the Both of May he sold it
for S2T5 less than itwould have brought
in December. He paid for insurance
and storage, during the five months
that he held it, SO; he lost by shrink
age, S59.40; interest on money advanced
on the cotton, at 6 per cent, cost him
S25. After five months he is S429.40
worse off than he would have been had
he sold the cotton when he had it
ready for the market in December.
This incident is an object lesson in
the sub-treasury primer. Imagine the
sub-treasury scheme in operation. The
Tennessee farmer takes his cotton to
that depository and stores it, getting
so per cent of its market value at that
time in cash. Allowing II cents a
pound, and 500 pounds to the bale, his
tifty-five bales would have been held at
S2062.50. Eighty per cent of that
amount is S1650, which the govern
ment, through its sub-treasury man
ager, would have paid him. After five
months, the cotton is worth s429.4 40 less
than it was when stored away to wait
for an advance, or S1633.10. But the
owner has drawn $3.50 on it Who is
to reimburse the government for its
loss of $1,000?
This is one example. The govern
ment would not be bankrupted by a loss
of $3.50, but when there are several
hundred thousand depositers in the
sub-treasury warehouses, a possible
loss attending each, it will foot UP
item to go to the debit
side Of the profit and loss account.

The Alliance.
KerrYille News.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE speaks truth
when it says that the agricultural and
labering classes have found out that they
have not received and are not now receiv-
ing their share of the fruits Of their labor.
Leaders or no leaders, they mean to have a
change in the methods of distribution.
Where general and widespread agree
ment exists to that end, the question Of
able leadership is of minor Importance.
When it is seen that 1900, 1000 farms are
mortgaged, and that, too, in country with
out standing army, with no entangling
alliances, no exhausting public debt, and
none of the burdensome accessories that
accompany monarchical form of govern
ment, is it any wonder that the farmers
fail upon all the taxes in the end, should
rebel en- masse and demand more con-
siderate treatment
Great social movements like the Alliance
do not exist without cause. There is
reason for it as there is for the tides of the
ocean. And no derisive taunts or mocking
illusions to the personnel or the leaders of
it can injure that cause or stay its progress.
There is but one way to do that, which is
to redress the grievances of the oppressed
farmers.

they made enormous purchases in
France and England Of dutiable arti-
cles, and rushed them in under the old
tariff It was neat bit Of business en-
terprise on their part After the Nc
Kinley bill should 60 into effect it
would advance the price of all mer-
chandise on which the tariff was adj
vanced. That landed in the country
under the lower tariff would share the
advance without paying the higher
rate. There was a big profit in the
business, and the importations we're
enormous.
These goods had to be paid for, and
the tariff on them had to be paid in
gold. 1t was then that the balance of
trade" began to turn against US, and
gold turned toward Europe. The de-
mand for money to meet the unusually
heavy bills for European imports
brought about financial stringency in
New York, which soon communicated
itself to the interior. That was the be-
ginning of the panic. People who had
money in use began to take fright and
draw it in. With hundred million
dollars more in the country than there
was two years before, business men
were pinched for money. Now, nearly
a year after the trouble began, its eff
fects are still visible.
The Mckinley bill started the trou-
BILE. The man who has gone through
ten months of struggling to get money
to carry on his business, and who can
walk up to the polls and vote for the
party that defends and honors McKin-
leyism, deserves all that he has had to
