Couldn't Fool Plumb.

They are telling queer story OF the
verdancy of the late Senator Plumb on
business matters while a young man.
He had scraped together 500 and had
it on deposit in local bank. Wanting
to use the money he one day asked the
president of the bank for it. He told
Plumb to sign q check.
The young man looked up and said.
"Eh?" Make out check for the
amount and sign it," remarked the
banker. mo. street! said the states
man in embryo; mo, stree, don't put

siderable arguing to persuade him that
it was the customary thing to make
checks for money. But when yearf
went on the senator rose to the million
rank by smart business faculty ane
could sign checks with almost anybody

Moses Mendelssohn was at first en-

keeper by Mr.. Bernhard, the wealthy
silk manufacturer. When the latter
died his widow promoted the philoso-

day. as Mendelssohn was passing down
the street with his friend Leasing, they
overheard a couple of ladies talking
about Mendelssohn.

When Poetry Loses Sentiment.

All the sentiment is taken out of
poetry if heard in the printing Office
The following is a specimen of how the
reading boy deals with the productions
of the poet laureate in the way of bust
ness:

lycom mother dearsem (sniff).

Needles.

Originally all the needles used in En-,
rome must have come from the east; and
it seems passing strange that no record
has been kept Of the time at which these
nseful little instruments were first man
ufactured there, but it must have been
at a very early period. They were made
in Nuremburg in great quantities In the
Fourteenth century. Their manufac-
turo was introduced into England under
Queen Elizabeth, and fiourished to such
an extent that the worklnen soon con-
stituted a guild. for we read In lSs' the
"Pinners and the Needlers" petitioned
the queen not TO allow foreign pins and
needles to be imported.-Woman's Work.

Dairy and Creamery.

> WHY do not all dairymen bottle milk
and then sell it for the same price as
the ordinary ladled out milk9 This Is
the question asked by consumer. In
iadling milk out of the large cans into
pfht and quart measures fully ~ per
cent. is loss. This is more than the
loss of the bottles amounts to. There Is
no more work in bottling than in ladiing
ont. A persistent and good tempered
milk seller can in time educate his Gus
toners to be conscientious in returning
bottles.
II Is certain that the best way Is Tor
dairymen to raise their own cows
One trouble with bottled milk this
time of wear is that the bottles are not
properly cleansed at the dairy. Gus
toners should be instructed to rinse the
empty bottle in all cases in cold wafer,
fill it with cold water and let It stand
till called for. Then when the mix
man gets it back home in the DAIRY ne
should see that all bottles are boiled ID

Popular education being the only safe basis Of

William C. Dewitt PAGES New FORKS Senator
Before the Convention.

Before the Convention.
CHICAGO. June 22.-At the call of New
York Delegate Dewitt arose and spoke as
follows:
Mr.. President and Fellow Delegates: BY
the favor of my colleagues I now have the high
honor 10 speak the Voice of the State OF New
York 10 this council OF Democracy. The nation
and our majestic commonwealth needs no
eulogy here. Her great city is e.giylng and
the heart OF the Democratic party. Her electoral
vote IS The Keystone and federal arch upon
which alone We rest the ciadel OF our hopes.
In view OF the critical and important posi-
ton occupied by our State in the impending
contest I take pride In pointing TO our past trl-
umphs. The present organization in the State
of New York speaks not only for the State as be.
Ing Indispensable TO your success in the Pres-
dental campaign, but speaks also for The State
organized and arrayed upon lines OF victory. Our
PEOPLE want leader filled with instincts, aspira-
tons. shrewdness, sagaeiIy, hopes. fears, joys
ard sorrows which crowd their struggle for life
and happiness. We. therefore, present for your
suffrage tue name Of him. who, having enjoyed
all the Donors OF our State, still finds his highest
boast In the sentiment, 81 am a Democrat"
Do you ask for his credentials? We point you
TO an unbroken series OF victories by which he
rendered New York veritable Gibraltar TO the
Democracy OF the Union. Mr.. Hill never had
any alliance with malc0nteDts nor favor In the
Republican party. He has always been nom
mated under shower of vituperation and abuse
and always emerged from the conflict win the
increasing commentator OF the people. 1t IS
not essential that 1 should embark In fuIsome
eulogy, and you Will pardon the liberty OF a
friend when state the fact that he Is a poor man
aud absolutely devoted TO the services Of his
party. This Is worth a thousand labored eulo-
gtes in demonstrating the patriotism and the
integrity of bis character. He Is a firm adherent
TO the principles OF frugalTy and economy In
public affairs so long characteristic OF his party.
From beginning his public career he remained
the friend and servant OF the Iaboring classes.
and they recIproeated by loyalty and support
which rendered him invineible.
II Is said that IL we make another nomination
we shall have calm election. our dear business
interest Will not be disturbed and the people will
be quite Indifferent about the result. II II In
deed be tlue politics have sunk so low that no
man can serve bis party earnestly without per-

which their duties are 10 be performed. The
Democratic party believes in bone rule and the
control OF their own affairs by the people of any
Ylcinage.
We favor legislation by Congress and the State
Legislatures 10 project the lives and limbs OF
railway employees and Those OF other hazardous
transportation companies, and denOunce the in
activity OF the Republican party and particu-
laily Of the Republican Senate for causing The
defeat OF measures beneficial and protective to
this class Of wagewOrkeTs.
We are IN favor OF the enactment by The States
OF laws for abolIshng the notorious sweating
system, for abolishing contract convict labor
and prohibiting the employment In factories OF
children under years Of age.
We are opposed 10 al sumptuaTy laws as inter
ferenees With the Individual rights Of citizens
Upon this statement Of principles ana policies
The Democratic party asks the intelligent iudg
ment OF the American people. II asks Tor

in order that there may be a change Of system
and a change OF methods. thus assuring the

lions in the dominions OF tile Car aud TO secure
TO the oppressed equal rights.
We tender our profound aud earnest sympathy
to those lovers Of freedom who are struggling
for home Iule and The great cause OF self-gOvern-
ment IN Ireland.
We heartily approve all legitimate efforts TO
prevent the United States being used as dump
ing ground for the known criminals and profess
sional paupers Of Europe, and demand The rigid
enforcement OF the laws against Chinese immi-
grafton and the transportation OF foreign WORK
men under contract TO degrade American labor
and lessen its wages, but we condemn and de-
nounce any and all attempts TO restrict the I'm
mlgation Of The industrious and worthy OF Tor
egn lands.
This convention hereby renews Its expression
of appreciation for the patriotism OF The soldiers
and sailors Of the Union IN The war for It's pres
egYation, and fayors just and liberal pensions
for all disabled Union soldiers, their widows and
all dependents; but we demand that lie work Of
the Pension once shall be done lndustrlously,
