KISSING THE BOss's WIFE.

The gubernatorial campaign in Geor-
gia may be worth matching. As last
decribed the situation was becoming in
teresting. Governor Jones addressed an
enthusiastic meeting at Blue Creek
Mines, "led in dance afterward and
kissed the boss miners wife once" So
far, so good. But as early thereafter as
possible Captain Kolb, his opponent,
held a meeting at the same place, made
a stirring address, led the dance after
ward and kissed the boss miners wife
twice" The correspondent adds: ''The
boss miner himself is weary" and it is
this fact which lends so much interest TO
the Georgia campaign. Old Jones is
pretty sure 70 hold another meeting at
Blue Creek Mines, with a view 10 break
ing kolb's record, and about that time
particularly as he is weary now-we ex-
pect to hear from the boss miner.

One of the most promising of the
young newspaper men who are making
a place for themselves in the leading
magazines is Walter Blackburn Harte.
His articles in the Forum on Canadian
affairs showed such grasp of the situa-
ton, and such political sagacity, that he
jumped at once into public notice. He
has since kept his seat well, and his latest
article on Canadian journalists and
journalism" judicial, impartial, and
philosophical, which is published in the
New England Magazine for December,
will be widely read, and create much
discussion and criticism. His "Dodsley's
Corner in the same issue is as sparkling
and aggressively pertinent as usual.

The Prohibition party in Iowa polIed
e62 votes out of total of 420.914 cast at
the recent election. In New York il
was about the same, or one in 500 Not
to be discouraged, however, the execu-
tive committee of the party held a
meeting in New York city few DAYS
since and among other things resolved
that with renewed energy and never
failing confidence in the ultimate result
of our lsbors, we viii begin to push for

campaign etc. As the Springfield
Democrat remarks, the Prohibition party
is the rainbow of our national politics,

A DEMOCRATIC FRIEND.

This is the way that Jerry Simpson.
who was elected by Democratic votes,
measures up class of farmers in south
ern Kansas. His talk was made to
Frank 6. Carpenter, d well-known press
correspondent IN Washington.
1.-THE only farmers in Kansas with
whom such an argument would be OF
weight, might be some of the Demo
cratic far ners who came from the south
to that state, and who form the Demo
cratic party today. They are from the
poor white trash who wers sent TO Kan
sas by the rich planters in order that
their votes perpetuate slavery. They
moved to Kansas for the rewards OF
politics and they are of the same char
acter today as they were then. The
Democrats of Kansas are buccaneers.

There is much speculation at present

resign has position as president and gen

sa. City Star. The circular issued last
week, recognizing the different Office
departments of the road, was signed by
J. Waldo, vice president, and Mr. Cross
name did not appear on the document.
1t is known that Mr.. Waldo received
his instructions direct from the executive
board and there are not a few who regard
this as a sure indication that NIr. Cross
is soon TO retire As president and the be-
lief is shat he viii be succeeded by Vice

In cold weather never wear a wooden
stocking inside thin tight shoe. To do
it is to invite frozen feet. The wool
grows damp and clsmmy with insensible
perspiration, the shoe pinches the blood
vessels into a sluggish torpOr. Betwixt
them you have frozen foot almost be-
fore YOU know it. Much better put a
thin silk, Isle thread or cotton stocking
next to the foot. and draw the wooden
ones on outside the shoe. With arctics
over the stockings, you can defy Jack
Frost, if you are shod like Cinderella
herself.

talist and philanthropist. says:
What II fraud is perpetrated in the
name of the dear old days when we
were children You were cuifed
around by your elder brother and
bossed about by your younger sisters;
You never caught fish or Shot rab-
bit when the girls were along and you
most desired TO make show of
prowess; you were thrown into your
seat and yauked out of ii at school;
you were Obliged to 60 to church when
you were young enough to enjoy roam
ing over the fields. and to stay at home
and look after things when YOU had
your first girl and wanted to be good:
you were mothers oldest girl when
you wanted TO be fathers Youngest
boy; you never dug robbers cave in
the woods. or stole melon. but some
weak-spirited boy told of it and got
you thrashed: YOU never kissed Molly
at parting that three or four old wom-
en- were not scandalized at scene
which wasn't put on for their benefit.
IF you whipped John Jones your
father whipped you. and if YOU let
oo"es Set tho oest VI IL. our o!- DToth-
er gave you yet worse hiding. When
you fell in love with Kitty Marsh she
laughed Mt your suit. because you were
paltry six years younger than she.
and later married your younger broth
er. You never enjoyed yourself much
after you left school. and about all the
pleasure you got in school was i'm be-
ing held up as a frightful example to
your fellowstudents. 1t was worth
something to have record OF two
lickings per week where every one
else was so monotonously good. There
is nothing in the happy childhood busi-
ness. 1t is telusiun."
