had intended to make this letter
more profound and reconcile than usual,
but other matters seem to crowd out
those plans and prevent the work being
so reconcile as had arranged for.
Yesterday / received a condensed
story in manuscript from man who
wishes me to get it published at once,
as lit should be issued at least four
weeks before the national conventions,
he says. Otherwise the conventions
will most likely be bitter djsappoint
mentS, judge. He says 1.-The book is
timely one, and should have been pub
lished two months ago to fit people for
the coming national convention" He
says this TO me in tone OF reproach
which am sure | do not deserve. !
could not have published the book, even
II had been at home, and had it done
by this time. Possibly not by another
year even, or may be later than that.
hate to have q stranger hop on me
that way for not publishing his book
and going out afterward personally TO
canvass for it. Few people of the great
work-a. day world realize that | am en-
gagged IN business business which &C.
cupieS my time and requires my best
energies. The idea that l sit mp in a
large haymow all day reading rejected
manuscripts, and then in the evening
that go about from house 10 house as a
professional parlor entertainer, giving
readings from my own works in eX-
change for broken candies and the heel
taps Of large public dinners, is erron-
7 eous and ought to be exploded some
where on a vacant lot outside the city
limits.
This manuscript is, or will be, ready
for the printer in a few days, so the
writer says. He never wrote anything
before for publication, being an engine
wiper at the roundhouse, bat he can
hardly wait for this book to come ont.
be thinks l am getting it up now and
sewing on the bindings, perhaps, Of
evenings after the children are asleep.
This is 4 mistake.
ANY publisher who would like this
manuscript, however, can obtain il by
writing me aud incloSing postage, to-
gether with a promise to get the book

One OF the very prettiest costumes yet
seen is OF dotted India muslin. The
skirt is made in three pieces, giving the
effect Of three deep flounces. On the
lowest OF these are six narrow rows OF
black velvet, on the next four and on the
top two. The waist is round, with very
full sleeves, ending below the elbow In
wide rufiie. A pointed girdle OF black

A DIVERSION.

The professional camera man fired of
his flash light and took shot at the ser
uent and his prey. 1t was false alarm,
though, and after the smoke had cleared
away the witnesses turned their eyes
again upon the chief actors in this mini

ner and Joined its white mate.
This experience put a decided damper
upon the big ones appetite and he re-
tired TO a corner TO sulk. His mate was
more persistent. BY wiles known alone
to the serpent tribe the python had
driven the unsuspecting bird into the
corner. Then it reared its head aloft
for the last time. There would be no
missing now. The head went slowly

fash. and the pythOn's teeth closed over
the pigeon's wing, while around its body
two coils OF snake had crushed out its
life. Before the pigeons white feathers
could be seen between the brown coils
the bird was dead.
For ten minutes the serpent kept its
feast within its folds. Then IL unloosed
its hold and began to relieve its teeth Of
their covering Of feathers. This was
not an easy or pleasing sight or all

Notes and Comments

That the republicans are going to
carry everything before them in Kansas
this year is now conceded by all. Never
in the history of the state has such q
campaign been prosecuted. Beginning
with maiorities against them equal to
those that have characterized the demo-
cratic campaign in Kanaas, they have, by
nominating clean, competent men for
office, and by fair treatment OF the oppo-
sition, gradually worn away the heavy
majority Of two years ago, and on next
Tuesday, while the republican vote will
not be as large as in former years, will,
IN all probability, reach between $4,000
and 10000 majority over the fusion and
prohibition tickets. Too much praise
cannot be given the officers Of the state
central committee for the manner in
which the campaign has been managed,
and shows a great contrast to the mis-
managed affair OF two years ago. The
campaign has been systematic and
thorough all over the state, and the best
men from all walks and vocations have
been pressed into the service as speak
ers. Not believing that because man
has not as many years on him as another
he would be of no advantage as a
speaker, the "young crowd" have taken
very active part, and from the fact that
their records are clean has had more
weight with voters than a little. To
Judge John Martin, ct al., can also be
attributed a share toward effecting q
change. In their fanatcal zeal for "any-
thing to beat the republican party, their
actions in their state convention in swal-
lowing the entire Populist ticket in the

ticket and possibly throwing the election
Of president into congress, which viii ne
doubt be democratic, set many TO think

south perpetrated upon Gen. Weaver
and Mrs. Lease, which was the last straw.

state more than an Office, repudiating the
unholy alliance made by their fellows, Ia

Russian stove pipe is quoted at about
IS cents per pound. Woods planished
iron pipe, worth about one-fourth as
much, is quoted at nearly thes same price.
The Russian pipe is durable, while the
planished iron is comparatively worth
less. We have recently been Informed
by stove dealer that one hours expos
ure to wet weather will destroy the
planished iron pipe, while at tho same
time it would have been to his interest 10
sell the same. The application Of
principle that will so protect the maui
facturer OF poor or spurious article and
increase the price Of good cne may be
correct, but we fail to reconcile it with
the laws Of righteous economy.
Free trade is the divine law OF COM

aristocrat, and the slavery OF the masses
through so-called American protection,

How a Panhandle Brakeman Was Vic.

STEUBENvILLE, O., February IL
John Stanley, glassblower, was yes
terday given a sentence OF two years in
the Penitentiary for being engaged in
one of the most novel plans yet adopted
to commit highway robbery.
OShanley and a local crook, Peter
Weems, in company with their victim,
Jack Lytell, a Panhandle brakeman,
were drinking in saloon, when Stanley
and Weems started pretended quarrel
and were only kept from coming to
blows by Lytell, who acted as peace
maker. They wanted to settle their
grievances by fist fight, however, and
easily induced Lytell to go along and
act as referee. A dark spot near the
Panhandle road was chosen for the mill
and they got in readiness to punch each
other according to the rules of rough
and-tumble fight. Instead Of pummel-
ing each other, however, they both
bounced on Lytell and beat him until
he was unconscious, and then took his
watch, money and the contents Of his
pockets. Stanley was arrested but
Weems is still at large.
