A Cold DaY.

Once when it was cold and bluff
Cupid hid in Mabel's muff.
"Mabel's little hands," quoth he,
WARN as any fest will be.
Here I'll stay and take mine ease"
On sudden came squeeze
Startled, Love exclaimed, whats tlisi
Surely something is amiss!'
Looked at Mabel's hands to see
What the matter was. "Dear me!
Do mine eyes deceive? or can
One of Mabel's gloves be tan,
And the other gray? That's odd,
Both right hands, as I'm god!
Mabel! Mabel! have care!
Two right hands don't make pair.
I'll be off," quoth Love. ''it's clear
am little needed here.
Bitter though the March wind be,
This is much too warm for Hne!"

EDITORS TALKING BUSINESS.
Newspaper Men Mt st. Paul Discuss the Mo
chanical Department.


ST. PAUL, MISS., July 16.-Today is being
devoted to tho business session Of the National
Editorial convention. A discussion on the me-
chanical department was led by Theodore L.
Devinn of the Century Magazine and
?. OBrien of the Birmingham Age and

the best fonts of type for daily paper and a
weekly what is a reasonable price for COM
position on dailies and weeklics: the average
wear and tear III newspaper Offices each year;
thc practleabillty Of typcsetting machines and
what would be saved over hand composition;
what the publishers should do with the type
founders trust
Not one of the least symposiums of the gath
ering was that on advertising led by A. Frank
richardson of New York. He took up the
questions whether advertising agents were an
advantage or otherwise to the press: whether
advertising and reading matter should be
mixed; whether cuts should be excluded;
whether long or short contracts paid the best,
and whether the National Editorial Association
should employ its own agents. The matter
proved very interesting and, at times, raised
debate.
The following subjects were then discussed

THE FREE COINAGE PLANK.
What Its Eject on the Ohio Democrats
May BE.

-
May BE.
The adoption OF the free and unlimited coin
age plank in the Ohio platform causes some
uneasiness among democrats. who are afraid
that the silver question may be made an over
shadowing issue in the national campaign.
A tremendous effort was made to prevent the
adoption of that plank, Cleveland's anti-silver
letter and other documents and arguments
against free coinage being extensively circu-
lated in the state.
1t Is believed, however that it will increase
the chances Of Campbelrs election. as it Will
give HIM the support of free coinage men who
would otherwise have voted with the third
party.
The peoples party convention will be held
about the 18th of August and a strong ticket is
expected to DO put in the field. Men in sym.
patty with the third party movement say that
the fact OF the democrats coming out for free
coinage will hurt the independent movement
some In the state this fall !but that their cand-
dates will, nevertheless, get a strong vote.
IL Is expected that whatever this vote is II
VIII come largely from the republicans, but
the criticism of the alliance policies by young
thurman will offend some alliance democrats.
The peoples party will devote their greatest
efforts to secure tho defeat Of sherman.
