by scarcity of money There is no
difference between famine and plenty
when a privileged class is allowed
to regulate prices and control labor.
On the broad sun-dried fields of
Kansas we raise hemp enough to
hang every enemy to free silver and
every traitor to the nation. Under
the present financial system we never
can hope to lift the burden of debt
that has been heaped upon the peo-
pie of America; the rich are grow
ing richer and the poor growing
poorer.
"This is no longer the land of the
free and the home Of the bravo, bnt
the land of the rich and the home Of
the slave, and I appeal to you to
wake before the chains of the money
power are riveted to your limbs. It
is not the democratic party or the
republican, party that is responsibles
it is the money power of the old
world that CONTROLS the two parties
of the ilew world. 80 let US arouse
ourselves from our partisan lethargy
and resolve that these questions
must be settled peaceably or Others
wise. Ifyou men are not willing to
settle these problems peaeeably and
withoat bloodshead, we ask you to,
remain at home aud mind the baby
and knit the stockings; we caa set !.
tie every problem that confronts-
this nation by means of that blood
less weapon "the ballot" We need
the preachers assistance in this mat
ter; they have been teaching us how
to die for many years. Now let
them teach US how to live and We
will die without any trouble. The
time has come when We should have
less of the churchianlty of man and
more of The Christianity of Christ. =

The moon, which reaches it's full
stage this month, will have dis.
tinclion not attained by it at any
other time 10 the year. The foil
moon, which comes nearest to the
antumnal equinox, or Sept. % or 23>
is popularity known as the harvest
moon. This year the harvest moon
greets US on Sept. 25. On that day
the moon which appears as thin
crescent in the west for few min
utes after sunset on the 10Th OF the
month. enters its complete phase, Its
full round face swinging upward
into view into the east as the sun
goes down below the horizon in the
west. The peculiarity about the
harvest moon is that it appears,
nearer the same time by the clock on
successive nights than it does at
other times in the year.

very common here in Florida and are
generally known by the name of butcher

traits north or south. Most varieties of
orange trees, especially seeding trees, are
covered with thorns, often three or four
inches long. 1t is common to find beetles,

friend in the town, the windows were
open and in the room was a canary bird in
its cage. Suddenly butcher bird darted
in window and flew around the bird
cage. The poor little canary seemed
fascinated and drawn to the side of the
cage, when the cannibal thrust its head
in between the wires, and, with a most
deXterous twist, took off the head of the
canary, and, dropping it on the dining
table near my plate, few out of the win

The Sweet Little Girl.

A gentleman invited lecturer to
his house to take tea. Immediately
on being seated at the table little
daughter of the gentleman said to
the guest quite abruptly, Where is
your wife?" The lecturer, having
been recently separated from the
partner of his life, was surprised and
annoyed at the question and STAN
mered forth the truth, II don't
know" Don't know, repeated the
terrible infant; "why don't you

Finding that the child persisted in
her interrogations, despite the mild
reproof of the parents, he concluded
to make a clean breast of the matter
and have it over at once. So he said
with calmness: "Well, we don't live
together. We think as we can't
agree we'd better not" He stiaed a
groan as the child began again and
darted an exasperated look at her
parents. But the little torment would
not be quoted until she exclaimed:

ADVANTAGES OF COURTESY.

A courteous mar often succeeds
in life, when persons of. ability fail.
The experience of every man fur
nishes frequent instances where
conciliatory manners have made
the fortunes OF physicians, lawyers,
divines, politicians, merchants, book
agents, and, indeed, individuals of
all pursuits. In being introduced
to a stranger, his affability or the
reverse creates instantaneously a
prepossession In his favor, or awakens
unconsciously a prejudice against
him. 10 men civilty IS, in fact,
what pleasing appearance is to
women; it is a general passport to
favor-a letter of recommendation
written in language that every
person understands. The best of
men have often injured themselves
by irratability and consequent rude
ness, whereas men of inferior abili-
ties have frequently succeeded by
their agreeable and pleasing man.
ners. OF two agents equal in all
other respects, the courteous one
has twice the advantage, and by FAR
the better chance of making his way
in the world.

Extra Territorial .Inrisdictinn.

In lands like China, Japan or Siam
the United States minister or consul
general, as well as the representatives
of the other great powers, exercises
what is called in the treaties 'extra
territorial jurisdiction. For instance,
all violations of law by residents who
claim the protection'of the American
flag, whether it be between them
selves or with a native, must be adj
justed by the consul. At such ports
as Reben, Hankeoo, Yokohama or
Bangkok, the United States minister
or consul sits almost daily as a court.
His power is supreme, even to the
point of ordering capital punishment,
and the findings of the consular court
are free of any revision or interior
ence whatsoever of the native author.

Robert S. Hawkes., always known
as ''the Vicar of Morwenstowe, and
a poet of no mean ability, was
brought up by his grandfather, a
very learned and religious man. In
the church where this old gentleman
preached the evening service always
closed with the hymn, Lord, dis

was composed by DIR. Hawkes. him

know the authorship of the hymn,
came to the doctor one day with a
paper in his hand, saying:
Grandfather, I don't altogether
like that hymn, Lord, dismiss us
with thy blessing I think it might
be improved in meter and language
and that it would be better if it were
somewhat longer"

improvements commend themselves
to your precocious wisdom?"
