1.-THE COMING REFORM

some malicious he, with ghoulish glee,
Aired himself I'm Sundays Caucasian
Bv taking q text from the female sex,
Reading them a lecture on fashion
To his own GENDER he should first render
The advice he so freely bestOws.
But better still he can, II he VIII,
Reform his Own manner Of clothes.
mTbe coming reform" is indeed all wrong
When appli.d to US women FOLK
But is true of them who call themselves men
And are allowed the right to vote
Whocut such caper in writing for the paper
Is dude OF the first water I'll bet. -,
Wears very loud clothes, has wart on his
nose,
And always smoking q cigarette.
IF Won will allow sketch of him now
Who on Fashions Pegasus has rode
Unlike Henry Ward Beecher he's an client
nate creature,
And dresses somewhat in this MODE
Tie cuts dash In a wonderful sash,
All lOOped and tied IN bow,
That hangs as his side his joy and his PRIDE
Just like some school gi.ls know.
With ear-scraping collar Ia gross for dollar
Pearl-colored pants that fit tight,
Mouse-colOred hose with digtted toes
But my he's just tout of sight !"
A little straw hat and a red cravat,
| And patent leather Oxford ties
| THAI shine very bright and fit too tight
Because much too small in size.
And then his shirt from neck to girth,
| Isa most marvellous art creation
OF paits and puffs; and celluloid cuffs
Lay over his organs of pulsatiOn.
His single eye-glass over cheek Of "brasS'
Is worn with a digniied mein,
While his cute mustache cost ten cents cash
And isn't just what it may seem.
A big walking cane, a gold-plated chain,
A watch Of the three-dOllar kind
Come all and admire, this completes his attire
1t takes just an hour to wind
"While speaking Of dress allow me to press
On the mind of BIN who'd boss It.

wOEnRn's Love.
IngeEHol,

IngsEhol.
The one thing in this world that is
constant, the one peak that rises above
all clouds, the one window in which
light forever burns, the one star that
darkness cannot guepch, is woman'r
love. 1t rises 10 the greatest heights
it SINKS TO the lowest depths, it for
gives the most cruel injuries. 1t Is
perennial Of life, and grows in every
CLINE; neither GOODNESS nor neglect
hardness nor cruelty, can extinguisb
it. A woman's love is the perfume Of
the heart. This is the real love that
subdues the earth; the love that has
wrought all miracles IN art, that gives
ms music all the way from the cradle
song to the gtand symphony thai
bears the soul away on wings Of fire
A love that is greater than power
sweeter than life, and stronger thar
death. ID

CURIOUS, H TRUE.
These Strange Stories Are Told
in AusGFaI1n.

Kapunda Herald.
We had a talk the other day about
haunted houses and other eerie things.
l was interrupted at that time, but IulI
in more important news enables me
to get of my mind two or three ghost
Iy things. For example: AS l rode
along in one of the suburban tram
cars pass a cottage wherein a strange
thing happened awhile ago. Near by
lived an old man who had received
many kindnesses from the true hearted
mistress of the cottage, who took com
passion upon his necessity. Early
one morning this lady woke in great
alright. She had dreamed that the
old man was calling her IN frantic
haste to come and help him. Shr
looked al the clock and noted the time.
1t was 4:3O. Later on the lifeIess
body of the old man was found IN d
well. The medical opinion was that
it must have got into the water al
about 4:3O that morning. That was
their independent testimony before
they had been told Of the curious eX
perience of the woman. The distance
Of the well from the house made II
impossible that she could have heard
the old man cry, if he really did cry.
How, then, can one explain the Incl
dent? l might relate other facts
similar in their nature, all showing
that there is iD the world more mys
terry than we have yet comprehended
The task is, however, unnecessary.

event which happened less than veal

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The presidential
election of 1892 is unique in being the first
since the war where 80 many doubtful
States are admittedly at issue between the
great political parties. It is also unique In
being the first in which it is conceded by
by all parties that the electoral votes of
the Nation will be divided among three
great political organizations. Three can
didates will certainly be bahoted for in
the Electoral College. and TO be elected TO
tho presidency one of these men must re.
ceive majority of all the votes cast. OIL
the election will be referred to the ma
tional House of Representatives
The advent of the Peoples party
into national politics has consti
tuted the great element of doubt i'm this
presidential contest. The solid South oi
Democracy and the solid West of Repub.
licanism are both menaced by its en-.
croachments, and on every estimate a great
Interrogation point must mark to-day GER
tain States that one or the other of the old
political parties have in the past been
wont to claim as their political heritage.
Iu this list may be named Alabama. Col
orado, Kansas. Nebraska. Nevada. North
Dakota. South Dakota. Nebraska. Wyo-
ming and Idaho. One or the other of the
old political parties claim nearly all OF
these States in their estimated recapitula-
tion, but each willingly admits that the
Peoples party or fusion tickets will trI-
umph in some Of them. If to this list are
added the old-time doubtful States of New
York. Indiana. New Jersey, Connecticut,
Montana and West Virginia. the doubtful
States in this election aggregate no less
than fifteen in number. While the three
parties will probably not unanimously
agree that all these States are to be placed
in the doubtful column the fact remains
that on Tuesday night the American public
will turn anxiously to these States, each
and all. for the solution of the presidential
contest
