he was making spectacle OF himself,
and that in all probability the whole
neighborhood heard him
Still the old gentleman shook his
head despairingly, and said: Come
into the house. My daughter will
make me understand; You talk too
rapidly and loudly"
Just as he said it door opened soft
ly and girls voice, trembling with
laughter, said: What is it. father?
Does the gentleman want something's"
81 think he does, Bertha, but can
not understand what"
After one glance at the girls face
Jack ''sized himself up as an ass" as
he would have expressed it, and he
knew she had overheard the whole in
terview. He really had not the courage
to tell her outright that her father was
accused of flirting with his Aunt
Sophia, or else he was lunatic, and
that neither he nor his aunt approved
of his conduct.
The girl let him founder and get red
in the face for about ten minutes, en-
joying the situation as only e mis-
chievous girl can, but he managed to
convey his meaning.
Then she said: Il understand You
perfectly and can perhaps explain it
satisfactorily to both you and your
aunt. Father keeps Il weather record,
and has as long as l can remember
lie takes observations three times a
day, at two in the afternoon, at seven
in the evening and early in the morn
ing. probably before your aunt gets
up" Here two irrepressible dimples
broke out and limited that laughter was
not far behind. Jack, who had recov-
! cred his equanimity, admired them inn
mensely, but was not to be diverted
from his purpose, so he said, judicially:
But why does no use a handker-
chief?''
For the very simple reason that if
there is light wind stirring he can
not tell its direction any other way"
We'll, why does he stare so at my
aunt as she sits at her window?"

I've no doubt i; doc',." she replied,
with a smile, but we have always
lived here and father has always taken
observations just in this way, and
everybody knows his popularity, So
of course, it awallens no comment"
AS Jack had no reply ready she said

Won't tell it on you" she said, with
unfeellng bluntness. Father would

on him she said, sweetly: II will
never mention it again, of course, and

Jack asked her to call on his aunt,
which she promised to do, and he took
his departure, to explain to Miss
Sophia that she had only made the same
blunder that many anot her woman has
done, jumped at conclusion too read

a PROTECTION organ boasts that there
are six refineries of beet sugar in the
United States, which produce $4,000, 900
pounds of sugar and that protection
and reciprocity did it," Protection may
help by giving bounty of two cents a
pound-costing the taxpayers $500, 900
for this item alone, but it is claimed
for reciprocity that it brings in foreign
sugar free. How does that help the
domestic product: Now the time has
come when the treasury is called upon
to pay the first installment of the
bounty to the sugar growers, and as a
consequence the workmen on govern
ment contracts cannot get their pay.
Bounties for the rich-the poor can
wait for their wages; that Is the latter
day treasury policy, brought about by
the republican billion dollar congress.

THE republican party has, by its
national legislation, given protection to
certain classes, always at the expense Of
the masses; but it has persistently de-
MED protection to one class, to which it
might have been given without expense
or injury to any honest man. The class
referred to is the inventors, to whom
the country owes so much, who have
vainly implored congress to amend the
patent laws by making it criminal
otfense to knowingly infringe patent.
Repre- sentative Tillman, chairman of
house commute on patents, is deter
mined that the democratic house shall
have the honor of passing a bill COM
plying with the inventors wishes and
breaking up the practice, now so COM
mon, of intentional infringement of
successful patents by parties without
financial responsibility.

SAYS the st Louis Republic: A cap
a repeating rifle which is strapped be-
tween the forelegs of Il cavalry horse
and fired by the rider in the charge as
the cavalry comes to close quarters with
infantry. The gun is now fired with
the left hand, leaving the sword arm
free, but no doubt a trifing change of
the machinery would enable the rider to
discharge the gun with his foot, so that,
with sword in one hand, revolver in the
other and working the Maxim gun with
his feet, the cavalryman would deal
death with every limb. If all the
judgment and Imagination put into
such ingenious contrivances for homi-
cides were directed towards the i'm
provement of productive machinery
there might soon be enough for every
body without fighting over it.
There's a good deal of guarantee bust
ness in the store keeping of to-day. It's
| too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half
the time it means nothing. Words-onlv
words.
| This otter to refund the money, or to
pay a reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and you won't want your money back.
OF course.
So, whoever is honest III making it.

The business wouldn't stand a year
without it.
What is lacking is confidence. Back
of that, what is lacking is that clear
honesty which is above the average
practice"
DR. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed
to accomplish what they are intended tC
do, and their makers give the money
back if the result isn't apparent.
Doesn't it strike you that a medicine
which the makers have so much conf
dence in, Is the medicine for you.
