National Issues, Too.

az have been endeavoring to conflne my
discussions to State issues" This squeak
Of suffering came from Ton PnATr's Tele-
phone at Rome last week.
Mr.. FAssFrT Is mistaken In supposing
that he has discussed oven State issues.
He has not discussed. He has done lit
Ito but yell " Tsmmany Hail." Tammany
Hall Is not State Issue. The State
issues upon which the people Of New
York will pass Judgment next month
have not been discussed by Mr.. FAs-
sETT. They have been evsded. or he has
sought to cover them with cloud Of mis-
statements and Misrepresentation. Abuse
of Tammany Is not discussion. When the
people. defrauded OF $500 900 or more
by Mr.. P1ATT's inserting Republican
politics into the Worlds Fair. ask
for an explanation. they get none
from Mr.. FAssETT save the assertion.
which does not grow truer as it grows
staler. that Tammany Is wicked. That Is
his idea Of discussion. and he applies 1t to
all other State issues that are brought up.
His method Of discussion will not be &C.
copied. nor can his attempt to shut out
national issues succeed. Upon State issues
the Republican party richly deserves de-
feat. and they are enough to defeat 1t.
But the results Of the New York election
will have an influence that reaches far be-
yond the limits OF the State. II the Repub-
ucan party. badly beaten at almost every
point last fall. has recovered strength
enough to seize upon the State OF New
York. q new confidence will animate its
leaders. and new cast will be made

they by no means confess themselves beat
en-. The election OF q Democratic President
In 1892 will be made moro difficult. The
prospect of o return to efficiency and econ
omy In national legislation and administra-

Self-interest and local pride prompt New
York to vote tho Democratic ticket on State
Issues. It Is duty which she owes to her
self to resent the insult and the injustice
which she has been made to suffer. She has
also duty to the nation. She must show
that, 30 far as she Is concerned. the general
overthrow Of Republicanism last fall was
not the result Of hasty impulse. but Of q
settled purpose. She must show that her
dctestaton OF the Force bill. Of the Billion
Congress. Of the Fraudulent Census. Is as
deep in 1901 as 1t wcs In 1890.

"Anice-Mollie," said my aunt. who
lay propped up in bed, II thank the
Lord that He has permitted me to live
to see you once more, though but to
say farewell. Dolly has my will. I
have left you everything had, though,
my dears, that is but little. For years
l have been an invalid. There are
some railroad shares which are worth
nothing now, but in time they may be.
The greatest treasure l leave you is
my faithful Dolly. Be good to her and
take care of her as she has taken care
of me in my old age"
The next day Aunt Clara quietly
passed away. Mollie and I had seen
her but two or three times We grieved
over her death, but our grief was
nothing in comparison with the grief
of poor, heartbroken Aunt Dolly. l
shall never forget how poor Dolly sunk
on her knees at the bedside: MARS
Jesus, is you got my missus? know
you is, for dar ain 10 mo- like her.
Ism you gwine tax black Dolly long,
too? Won she need me ober dar?
Please, Jesus, take Dolly 'long?"
She was inconsolable. The second
day after aunt's death we laid her at
rest in the cemetery at Nashville. Her
will, as she said, put us in possession
of her all, which consisted of the furni-
ture in the cottage. the worthless rail
road bonds, $lS4 in money and poor old
Aunt Dolly. Dolly didn't want to leave
Nashville, but we thought it best to
take her away for time. So we per-
suaded her to pack what she would need
in trunk of her old mistress, and told
her she could come back in the fall if
she wished. So we went back to our
home in Sheldon and left tho cottage
locked up. l resumed my school and
Mollie her studies. l had taken most of
the slS4 aunt left to pay the funeral ex-
penses and get us back to Sheldon.
Aunt Dolly assumed care of the house
and the first thing knew she was hob
bling down to the Sheldon depot two or
three times day with huge basket
of sandwiches, cake, pies and coffee.
She never asked me for any money, and
thought she must make enough to buy
the material, but when at the end of the
month went to the grocer and butcher
to pay our bill he said: "You don't owe
anything. Aunt Dolly has paid it all. ="
l was surprised, for we had lived bet
ter than ever before. Dolly was a
splendid cook. She was always talk
ing of old missis. I often saw her stop
cooking, go to her trunk, take out a
photograph of Aunt Clara, and talk to
it as though Aunt Clara was there in
person.
Time wore on till the 1st of October
arrived. The mortgage was foreclosed,
and the next day our home was to be
sold at auction. That night after sup.

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-

lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do

little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of

where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German

AS general rule it will not be found
best to attempt to keep more than fifty

HENS are often obliged to leave their
nests on account of lice; it is important
to keep lookout for them.

of laying soft-shelled eggs.
OLD plaster kept where the hens can

Talk about women being impolite
and selfish in street cars" remarked
conductor, 1.-The women beat all. Men
are comparatively mild. Now watch
this woman and see what she
does She was not fair but she was
positively fat and forty, and as she
pushed and elbowed her way into the
crowded car she appeared to consider
nobody's comfort but her own. A thin
man, who had been sitting in space
not more than six inches wide between
two women, arose and offered her
seat She didn't thank him-not she.
But she smiled at each of the other
women and then proceeded to throw
herself at the back of the seat. There
was no help for it; the other women had
to contract, for each of them was giving
nearly half her anatomy as a cushion
for the newcomer. Then the fat wom-
an settled down comfortably and
smiled again, while the other women
chung to the edges and didn't smile.
That's the way it is" the conductor
went on. Women have absolutely no
consideration for each other, at least in
street-cars. What man would have done
that?"-Chicago Post.

have found that by this method three
times as much feeding may be had from

the whole field would be trampled over

To set them, I nave used a square

when the hurdle is set up, the points

ends Of the hurdles are wired together
in two Places and to stout stake

You can never make farmer

AUNT DOLLY NET Us AT THE DOOR.
with Aunt Dolly, an old rheumatic ne
gress whom she had bought twenty
five years before. When Aunt Clara
was younger woman Dolly had be-
longed to Mrs. Bacon, with whom
Aunt Clara boarded. Mrs. Bacon died
suddenly and everything she had was
sold at auction. Dolly had become at
tached to my aunt, and begged So hard
that she buy her that my aunt actually
paid the last dollar she had in the world
for her Then she rented the cottage,
and there my aunt and Dolly had lived
for twenty-five years, and grown old to-
gether as mistress and slave. But very
little Dolly knew about slavery. l
guess it would have been hard to have
told which was mistress in the cottage.
Aunt taught in the public schools for
a number of years, and Dolly cooked,
took care of the cottage and sold hot
coffee, sandwiches, pies, cakes and ap-
Piles at the depot. Her round, black
face had been familiar sight there for
many years. My aunt's health had been
such that she had ceased teaching fully
ten We ars before and Dolly had proved
the prop of her declining years. Aunt
Dolly met US at the door.

possessions consisted of a small house
and about an acre of ground in Sheldon,
but the long period of i'll health of our
parents, together with th> funeral ex-
penses, had put three hundred dollar
mortgage on the property, so we could
hardly say the roof that covered us was
our own.
Mollie was but sixteen: l was four
years her senior. Being we'll educated,
| succeeded in getting the public school
in our town, and though the pay was
small we managed to live on it. Mollie
was determined should keep at her
studies for year or two more. Some
how we couldn't save a cent to pay on
that mortgage, and it kept growing
larger all the while. One day John
Easton. the man who held it, came over.
l had just returned from school. He
said:
Miss Anice, l thought I'd call and
tell you l can't carry that mortgage
any longer. Ineed the money. 1t was
due last fall, but thought I'd let it run
as long as could. but l must have the
money the 1st of October or l shall
have to foreclose. which should might
lily hate to do. Times have been so hard
with me the last year or two that l
must have it. The interest added to
the mortgage will swell the amount to
$500 October L.
Now, l couldn't see for the life of me
how we were ever going to pay that
money. 1t seemed that we must lose
our home, and that night l told Mollie
all about it.
well, Anice." said she, 'I'll have to
quit school and go to work.
Yes" said I, but what work could
you get by which we could save money
enough to pay that mortgage by Oc-
tober l? | can't see any object in your
stopping your studies. Well have to
let the old home go, if go it must. Per-
haps we can rent it of the party who
buys it,
OF course we had crying spell over
the prospect before u.s. We had been
born under that roof. and it seemed
sad indeed to have it pass into other
hands. The next evening when came
home from school found letter there
that Mollie had brought from the office.
1t was from Aunt Clara in Nashville.
She was the only relative we had on
on earth. to my knowledge. She was
my fathers old maid sister, and had
lived in Nashville all her life. Now she
was an old, old woman. She had visit
ed us once or twice while father was
alive. The letter read:
DEAR N ECE: am dying Come at once
and bring Molie CLARA EVANS"
| managed to scrape money enough
together to pay our way to Nashville
We found Aunt Clara in a humble cot
tage near the depot She was evidently
near deaths door. Poor old soul! She
had been for years an invalid, it seemed,
and all the money she had laid by in
her youth her later years had found use
for. She lived alone in the cottage
