The Western Farmers Alliance men who fav-

to drop it because the Southern farmers declare
they will work through the Democratic party as

senator HOAR'S republican colleagues are not
toting fair. They are not treating him with
that distinguished and beautiful consideration
which is additionally and imperatively called
for by the constitution and bylaws of Senatorial
courtesy. They know as well as every one else
that the Senator is not expending the scant
energies of his pottering senescence in trying to
compel the adoption of the Force bill with the
sole object of making the coarsey-convoluted
gray matter in the thick Uranium of the
Southern Afro-American count for as much in
human affairs below Mason and Dixon's line as
the superior quality gray matter OF the Cau-
casian, which is ''saturate out and out through
every convoution" with the results of CEN
turies of civilization. They know that Senator
HoAR has far higher object than this in his
present pernicious activity. They know it, for
he himself has said it, and this higher object is
to avert the calamity of being trampled down
by the ambitious young statesmen of the grand
old commonwealth of Massachusetts who think
he lags superfuous on the political stage and
would like to knock him cut at the next Sena-
| torial election. Now, if Senator HoAR succeeds
in getting the Force bill passed, or if he fails
after making a creditable fight, the figure he
will have cut in the affray may rekindle the
dying fires of enthusiasm in the breasts of his
old-time supporters and secure his reelection.
But if his colleagues on the Republican side
continue to charge that he has made misera-
Bile mess of the Force bill campaign; that, in
fact, his laundering and nerveless activity in its
behalf was or came near being fatal to it,
they will irretrievably queer him in Massachu.

The Cocoanut Tree.

The native proverb says, "A cocoanut
tree is brides dowry," and really the
many uses to which the palm and its prod
nets are put are wonderful. They provide
family with food, shelter, fuel, house,
utensils and, if need be, clothes.

to attain its full condition of bearing
seven years-but when this time has passed
1t is mine of wealth, and happy is he who
can call plantation of hundred acres

The nuts when ripe fall to the ground
and where necessary are plucked by men
who climb mp. 1t sometimes makes ones
blood run cold to see them run up the trees

Two ways are practiced for mounting
the trunk. In the case of a small tree. or
at an odd moment. the man walks up the
trunk, keeping his feet fat against it. and
throwing his weight back from it as much
as possible, retaining his position at the
