success to the occult influence OF the
silk stocking element
When sage politicians are thus led
astray by a skein of silk deftly woven
into more or less forbidden shape. il
is a small wonder that the youth OF
many cities would occasionally find
themselves lost in the new weaving OF
Penelope's loom when displayed upon
the shapely limbs of the ballet. For
them there is at least the time hon
ored excuse that they are sowing their
wild oats, even though the harvest
may be ruin, both financial and
moral.
But when Uncle Sam, who is GER
tainly old enough to know better,
takes to silk stockings, it is certainly.
time for his guardians to read him a
lecture. Certainly they are remiss IN
their duty, and should be called down
before the old gentleman gets to the
gar, that is to say. before he gets out
leading strings and kicks over the
moral traces altogether.
An explanation of this matter will
be found in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
advertising columns. under the cap
ton OF "The United States VS.. Thirty
Pairs of Black silk Stockings" 1t
may be asked why Uncle Sam should
need thirty pairs of stockings. 1t is a
safe guess that he doesn't. 1t is more
than a fair assumption that an indi-
vidual, so inexperienced in this
direction as he, will find thirty
pairs OF stockings more than he can
properly care for. He would do much
better to confine his attention to a
single pair, and see that his W feet
are In them. Thus only shall he be
sure of his footing. When a man
becomes involved with thirty pairs
of silk stockings he is more likely to
find himself standing on his head than
ON his feet.

What girls should never forget is TO
be neat! Not primly SO, but daintily

p~roachable gloves and shoes that fit,
though her gown be only cotton. yet

rho e,reat Blaine RevoIt.

l0 VITA
Ailthe talk about attempts to boom James
q. Biaine Tor the Presidency is pure rot. Doc
tor Taylor and the bracing air OF Bar haroor
are doing all the booming he needs.-Stdte
AGdsete.
You are right as to the utility Of
booming James G. for the Presidency.
He will never get there while the
world goes round. But whether
all the doctors and all the fresh air in
the universe can do ''all the booming
he needs" is a very doubtful question.
II you believe his own friends, he is
so robust that he needs no booming
at all. If you believe President Har :
rison's friends he is beyond recupera-
ton.
This is the sad result OF a reputa
ton for deception and sham, fostered
by every act Of a long public life.
When James g. Blaine lies on his
deathbed, there will be thousands Of
his own party to believe that he is NAL
lingering to excite public sympathy.
Such is the moral zone Of that party
that there will be thousands to APP
plaud his craft in doing so.
But whatever may be the physical
health OF James 6. Blaine, his politi-
cal career seems to be not yet on the
wane. When Messrs. Quay and Dud-
ley desert the cause OF the reigning
King and abandon the luscious plums
which he has for distribution among
his followers, and when they make
this sacrifice simply to raise the stan
dard Of the great freebooter chief in
revolt against the powers that be, n
may fairly conclude that there is a
good deal of vitality in the Blaine
idea. and that the Republican party
is going to be convulsed between now
and the time of its National conven-
ton by his struggle for supremacy.
What condition such a contest will
leave the party in at the opening OF
the real campaign, everyone can
Judge for himself. If Mr.. Blaine
scores the victory he will have to fear
the worst from the sulky treachery
of such mean souls as John Trade
mark. Refrigerator Raum, and little
Boss Platt OF New York. On the other
hand, it is pretty certain that the
burning Indignation of the manlier,
II not the better element OF the Re-
publican party will overwhelm the
wretched paltriness of Harrison and
his minions il they succeed by low
cunning in carrying the Convention
their way.
The outlook is dark and gloomy for
the Republican party, but through
the clouds on its horizon the people
at large see glilnpses of the dawn Of
another reform era at the National
Capital.

uncle Sam in stockings.

For the first time in his life. prob
ably, Uncle Sam has run up against
silk stockings. Had the encounter
taken place in his youth it would have

But for a staid old gentleman frolick-
ing in the early years of his second
century, it may prove a trying ordeal.
II is to be hoped that Uncle Samuel
will not put his foot in it. but the re-

Stockings have proved the bane of
many a mans life. This does not re-

skeleton than a toy.
Politicians of years and experience,
particularly at the National Capital
have been known to interest them

always disastrous to their peace of
mind and domestic comfort, and some
times to their financial standing.
Many questionable laws, involving
land grants and raids on the treas

Babies Toes and Fingers.

"Clarissa Potter" advises methers
to pay more attention to the fingers
and toes of crawling babies. When
baby cries examine her tiny toes and
fingers to make lure that no splinter
of wood or iron has entered them.
AS baby grows older and boots take
the place of soft wool socks, care must
be given that the fast growing little
feet are not eranped by too small
boots. Even dainty kid can goad-
ingly pinch and chafe the dainty
flesh, and if the boot is too short, bar
barously donble the flexible. hapless
toes in under themselves, causing
baby much wailing distress, which we
in our ignorance try to relieve with
