Only a Hairpin.


Avoman can do more with hairpin than a
man can do with any one instrument in exist
ence.
She takes it TO button her shoes, TO crimp
her hair, to fssten her hat on says Puck, and
lbeg pardonD 70 scratch her head
To button her gloves and the waist buttons OF
her dress, TO pin her veil, 10 manicure her
nails; and, alas! sometimes to pick her teeth
To cleal her comb and TO cut the pasted label
on her powder box. And she can use It as a
paper knife, or a book mark; TO open letter,
or to draw device upon a seal.
If she twists the ents it becomes q tape
needle, or safety pin or key ring. II is a
very decent bodkin-
In an emergency it IS as good as an ordinary
pin: better. in fact. for it can be made TO do
double duty.
1t supplies many of the missing intricacies OF
buckles. suspenders and supporters, and repairs
any damaged domestic article requiring a few
inches OF wire and a little femme ingenuity
a woman traces pattern with harpin
dipped In her shoe backing and, smoked in the
gas, she uses It TO pencil her eyebrows.
IL no one is looking she will use it for a nut
pick, and II her husband Is not at home she will
take it TO clean his pipe or cigarette holder.
And If he Is at home, and after he has broken
his pocket knife aud hunted helplessly all over
the house for q piece of wire" she will draw
her hairpin with a plying look and clear out
the gas burner or reopen the waste pipe OF the
stationary bowl.
How often is the hairpin the hidden power
thai holds back the lace window curtain, or
poises the autumn leaf wreath on the edge of
the picture frame.
How often does it replaces the lost furniture
pin in the yalencs or lambrequin.
A long, stout hairpin placed over the stem of
the doorknob, with the prongs through the
handle of the key, will make q timid woman
feel secure against that ''ever-expected
burglar"
A woman can uss a haIrpin as a corkscrew
for any kind OF bottle she cares to open.
Ever ready TO her hand, whether she uses it to
pick her trunk lock or to trim a lamp wick, to
mend her bracelet or her hustle, she handles it
with dexterous grace and codfident skill that
are born OF inherited knowledge and educated
by long practiced use.

Fightlng for tha Farmara.

In its last issue the Southern Alliance
Farmer. in an article entitled "Our Enc
mics, VI says: 80 long as life lasts and we see
our struggling tillers of the soil made beasts
of burthen by favored few, we will not
relax our energies. If we perish in the
cause we have espoused, others will be found
to take up and continue the work where we
laid 1t down. We have right, justice and
the farmers on our side, and feel that the
smiles Of an approving providence rest upon
us. Thus armed, we fear no evil, and defy
the enemies that surround u.s."
This is all very fine, but what about the
statement which the Southern Alliance
Farmer made some time ago that there
were men among the alliance leaders who
were trying TO use the alliance for selfish
purposes, and that the Southern Alliance
Farmer purposed to expose themi Has the
| Southern Alliance Farmer found out that
it was mistaken, or has it decided to cover
| up the misdeeds of the wrong-doers9 If it
is battling earnestly for the rights of the
farmers, as it says it is, why doesn't it make
| public the names Of those who, it alleged,
were trying to use the alliance for selfish
purposes?
We have had nothing to say against the
Southern Alliance Farmer, and wish to
see it a financial success, Notwithstanding
the bitterness it sometimes displays toward
those who do not always agree with it
But we would like to know, and hundreds
Of Others would like to know, why it doesn't
expose those alliance leaders who, accord
| ing to its own statement, tried, or are trying,
| to use the alliance for selfish purposes. We
| desire to know who they are, and what the
charges against them are, in order that we
may join in denouncing them if they deserve
to be denounced. 1t is hardly fair for the
Southern Alliance Farmer to go on de-
claring that it is going to battle for the
alliance as long as life lasts. and yet refuse
| to do what it can to rid the alliance of men
who, il its own statement is to be accepted,
are injuring the alliance by trying to use it
for selfish purposes. 1t should show at once
that it is the friend of the alliance by max
ing known those secret enemies of the order
to whom it so pointedly called attention not
very long ago. When it does this alliance
men all over the state will have removed
any doubts they may entertain of its sin
| cerity

Jealous of Blaine.


There is an impression in Washington
that Mr.. Blaine will not remain at the
head of the state department much longer.
Every oncein awhile there is q report that
he and the President have quarreled, and
that their relations are strained. The day
after the President left for Maryland on a
| duck hunting expedition there was a story
| current that on the night previous the two
men had exchanged remarks Of a very IN
| complimentary character
The truth seems to be that the President
is candidate for a denomination, aud he
thinks that Blaine is ia his way. He 10
convinced. apparently, that Blaine is HIM
self candidate for the nomination, and is
quietly working to secure it, Blaine does
not say whether be is a candidate or not
1t would hardly be wise for him to do SO at
this time. 1t is worthy of notice, however,
that he is still very popular with the great
bulk Of his party. When the Indiana leg
stature was polled few DAYS ago it was
found that he was the choice of a majority
Of this republican members, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Indiana is the Presidents
state.
blame the President for the overwhelming
defeat which their party suffered last fall
That his administration is not popular with
the party leaders is generally admitted.
Throughout the west the Mckinley tariff is
condemned, and the President is held partly
responsible for that tariff. The only redeem
ing feature of it is that which relates to
reciprocity, and the impression is rapidly
gaining ground that 1t will be OF small
benefit to the country; but the credit for
reciprocity is given to Blaine. And because
1t is given to Blaine the President Is in
clined to mistrust ihm. He thinks that
Blaine had it put into the tariff with the
view Of increasing his own popularity. And
Blaine is certainly trying to use it for all it
is worth, though it cannot be said yet that
he is seeking a nomination for President.
The republican organs which favor the
President, when they found that the only
thing in the Mckinley tariff which was
popular was the reciprocity provision, be-
gan declaring that the President was the
author of that provision. The country,
however, refuses to accept their statement,
ana that is another reason why the Presi-
dent feels unkindly toward Blaine
1t would not be surprising if Blaine
should resign from the cabinet before con-
gress meets. Neither would it be surpris-
ing if he should loom up as the most promi-
nent candidate for the republican nominal
ton for President before the summer is over
And If he should be candidate he would
stand much better chance of getting the
nomination than the President

For q youth of 81 Mr.. Marion Smith must
have been something of hustler, or else
the matrimonial act is pretty easy in Arkan-
sas, to accumulate eight wives all in one
county at so early an age. When they all
congregated around him when the police
unloaded him from a train at Greenwood
the greeting was decidedly more animated
than agreeable. Only think of the conse-
quences had the officers left him among
that eager throng unprotected. Jail must
be q positive luxury to that csllow youth.
Yet either one among his collection of help
mates. ranging from 16 to IS years of age,
would probably like to mop up the situa-
ton with the various-hued tresses of all the
rest in order to have the enterprising young
hubby all to herself. Such is the folly of
womankind-

After a court has awarded to a complain
ant the rightful ownership of stolen porta-
BILE property it does not seem unreasonable
that the owner should at once take posses
sion Of the said chattels. But a New York
judge recently entered an almost frenzied
protest against such a proceeding in the
court room. Both disputants were women,
and the stolen article was dress, which the
prisoner wore. Hence the court, who was
a difident court. felt a panicky tendency to
shout for help. or defer the ceremonies to a
more fitting time and place.

Under the pretext of sustaining the nude
in art great many people who claim to be
artists are merely clamoring for an oppor-
tunity to uphold great deal that is simply
vulgar under the sheltering pretext of a
trace of art. Any object that is artistically
portrayed will attract the attention and
command the approval of people of the
least discriminating taste and judgment.
But vulgar subject pictured in anywise
striking effects will attract general atten-
ton, and its defects and unworthiness are
only apparent to people of artistic knowl-
edge and critical accumen. Many atrocities
upon the tints of the rainbow and the finest
formed objects in nature are committed in
the name of art.
