And the Little Band played

Last Saturday night we listened to a
speech by one of the heavy weights of
the Peoples party. The speaker was
from Iowa, and had by some means OBJ
tained an invitation from the Demo-
cratic convention to deliver a speech on
silver, though the speech really was
about the Omaha platform.
Probably it was one of the tricks of
the straight Democrats to drive the
faithful Populists from the fold by CIV
ing them an opportunity to see their
own arguments rs others see them.
1t was announced that Tom kildutf
would preside. which announcement
gave responsibility to the gathering and
filleA the hall with the beauty and tai
ent of the town.
AS the speaker mounted the platform
and beheld the inferiority of the west
ern race, a shade of sadness swept over
his face. 1t Frightened, however, when
Meeker politeness came out in full re-
lief. Tom Little rushed out and then
rushed back with a little glass pitcher,
with little red top, covered with little
brown warts, and filed with little ice
water While Tom Little was out
James Lyttle catno in, and, sooins That
the speaker looked dry, he rushed out
and then rushed back with a lyttle
white pitcher, without warts, and also
filed with lyttle ice water.
The orator prefaced his remarks by
tbat la baJ povar hnap thrnuuh
college, except in at one door and out at
another, which original and exceedingly
humorous remark brought smile to
the face of the-speaker. He said the
photography" of Wall street owned the
country. and under their influence gold
had "rlz" at one time to 81. in green
backs. After he had enlightened the
ignorant frontiersmcn and frontiers
women with this little tidbit of wisdom,
he took drink from the little glass
pitcher with the little red top, covered
with little brown wartsl and looked
awry at the lyttle white pitcher without
warts) as though it contained Jim's
favorite drink.
There may be some here" said he,
"who know more about silver than
do''-but glance at the speakers face
convinced the reporter that all silver
knowledge comes from Iowa.
lie then scored the Democrats, and
called on my friend''-the chairman
to bear him out in his assertions. Tom
looked as though he would like to bear
him out of the house-but he didn't.
He simply took drink out of the lyttle
white pitcher, without warts.
The brightest remark of the evening
was made when the orator said, There
are some things about the Democrats
that l never could get through my
vocabulary
After the close we asked Charlie
Allen, who had been an attentive lis
tener. what the speech was about. He
answered Indignantly, "Do you take me
for q mind reader?"

Get the Gennine

If you suffer with lame back, especially in
morning, Allcock's Porous Plasters are sure
relief.
If you cannot sleep, try an Allcock Plaster
well up between the shoulder blades-often
relieves-sometimes cures. Try this before
you resort to opiates
If any of your muscles are lame-joints
stih-feel as if they wanted oiling-or if you
suffer with any local pains or aches, these
plasters will cure you.
If you use them once you will realize why
so many plasters have been made in imita-
tion of them. Like all good things, they are
copied as closely as the law allows. Don't be
duped by taking an imitation when it is as
easy to get the genuine
If you always insist upon having Allcock's
Porous Plasters and never accept a subst
tute, you will not be disappointed.
