Little bob stood the vest.


| The "blue line" street car stopped n,
the corner, says writer in the loutL's
Companion. and an anxious looking
young woman put small boy inside.
Now, Bob, she said, as she hurried
out to the platform again, don't lose
that note gave you, don't take il out o.
your pocket at ALL"
Nom, said the little man. lookin-
wistfully after his mother as the conductor
pulled the strap, the driver unscrewe,l
! the brake, and the horses, shaking their
bells, trotted Off with the car.
whats your name, Dub, asked a mis-.
chievous looking young man sitting be.
side him.
Robert Cullen Deems" lie answered
politely.
Where are you going!"
TO my grandma's.
Let me see that note in your pocket. :"
The look Of innocent surprise in the
round face ought to have shamed the
baby's tormentor, but he only said again.
Let me see it.
II tan't," said Robert Cullen Deems.
See here, If you don't I'll scare the
horses and make them run away" The
little boy cast an apprehensive look at the
belled horses, but shook his head.
Here, Bub, Ill give you this peach if
you pull that note half way out Of your
pocket"
The boy did not reply, but some of the
older people looked angry.
Il say, chum, I'll give you this whole
bag of peaches IL you will Just show
me the corner Of your note, " said the
tempter.
The child turned away, AZ IL he did
not wish to hear any more, but the young
man opened the bag and held it out lust
where he could see and smell the luscious
fruit.
A look OF distress came into the sweet
little face; believe Bob was afraid TO
trust himself and when man left his
seat on the other side to get off the car
the little boy slid quickly down, left the
temptation behind, and climbed into the
vacant place.
A pair OF pretty gloved hands began
almost unconsciously to clap and then
everybody clapped aud applauded until it
might have alarmed Bob il young lady
sitting by had not slipped her arm around
nm and said, with sweet glow on her
face:
Tell your mamma that we all con-
gratulate her upon having little man
strong enough to resist temptation and
wise enough to run away from it..
doubt If that long, hard message ever
reached Bob's mother, but, no matter,
the note got to his grandmother without
ever coming out Of his pocket.

because il acts directly upon the

A GREAT scheme is now on foot.
1t is the formation of new party,
with only one plank in it's platform I:
Free Silver. Representatives of
this new party will be at Omaha, to
try to induce the Peoples party to
drop all of it's other demands, and
make free silver the only issue, and
also to accept Senator Teller as the
presidential candidate. We miss
our guess if this is not part of the
scheme mentioned on our first page.

If trade with foreign countries is
such bad thing, why not use the
appropriations made every year to
build something useful, instead of
the improvement of harbors Is it
not absurd to spend money for the
accommodation of shipping and then
pass laws to prevent chips from com
ing in loaded with goods that our
people need2 A tax of even 5 per
cent. on the value of goods is worse

Rev. GILBERT De LA MATYR is
dead. The reform forces have lost
a great leader. He died on the 18th
inst, at his home in Akron, Ohio,
where he was pastor of the First
Methodist church. He was one of
the most prominent ministers in that
church, and his death is sad blow
to the church, as we'll as to the ma
ton.
In 1876 DR.. De La Matyr was
elected to congress from the Indian
apolis district, on the Greenback
ticket. Since that time he has been
identified with the Prohibition party.
When. the Peoples party convention
was held in Cincinnati DR.. De La
Matyr took prominent part in the
proceedings.
He constantly urged the union Of
all reform forces, and did all in his
power at the St. Louis conference
to bring about that union.

History has thought it worth while to
perpetuate TIE memory of Sir Philip Sid

called for water, and when the cup was
being presented to him he caught the
eager eyes of one who was suffering
more fastened upon the crystal water,
and who said, give it to him, his need
is greater than mine have seen hun
dreds Of Sir Philip Sidneys.
Going during the war to the Overland
hospital in Memphis, with portable
writing desk and various other things
that had learned must take with me,
stopped by the bedside of man who
looked to Inc very near death. | said to
him:
''Is there anything can do to help

and lie is exceedingly anxious to have Il

him first.
So | sat down beside the boy and
wrote at his dictation, as he whispered
broken sentences. what he wished to
have said to his mother, writing it ex-
actly Us he said it-ungramnatical when
it was ungrammatical, disjoiuted and
fragnentary- that the mother would
recognize il as the language of her son.
AN the while kept my eye on the other
man IN the bed for | thought perhaps
he did not quite know what his own
situation WAS, and when he found that
was looking at him little anXiously he
made Il desperate effort, with the help of

back Of his head was visible to me.
When ! had finished the letter to the

of the bed and said, Nov, | will write
