was fond of swimming.
One day while we were anchored In
the roadstead off Cane Coast Castle. on
the west coast of Africa. the passenger.
were seated under the awning looking
at some jewelry that had been brought
on board by the natives. and offered
for sale. The captains wife had

and engraved with the signs Of tn.
zodiac. IL had been brought To her az
an engagement ring by her husband.
and was the dearer to her from the
fact that he had been wrecked and
picked up at sea with il on his finger.
One of the lady passengers. who had
been looking at the ring. and whose
attention WAS attracted by some of The
native jewelrv. placed IL on the ca bin
skyiight beside her. The next mo-
ment our pet monkey jumped on The
skylight. seized the ring. and putting
it in his mouth. jumped on the main
deck and ran forward
Instantly every one was on his feet
chasing the monkey. IL ran from one
end of the deck 10 the other. and then
climbed aloft. Some of the sailors
went up and drove Il down again.
When ii reached the railing Of the

the sailors were fast closing in on IL.

During this last week most of the schools

The Missouri Pacific has ordered twenty
new Baldwin engines built and also six

The many complimentary notices the
press eli the state is giving Arthur Capper
upon the change of his newspaper relation

North Topeka Mail,-indicates that he is

He married an Astor. He lives month

the New York Sun, both Democratic,
openly charge that he bough. the place,
that he is totally unfit, and his appoint,

senate to knock him out. The New

are red hot about his appointment. But
1t will not be withdrawn. and probably
not rejected by the senate: he is English.

Charles S. Gleed closes "A review of the
Peoples party thus: in brief, there
has been vicious beating of the bushes,
a bawllng and an uproar, but no good
has been done. Over against thirty
years of honest, safe and intelligent
work, by the Republican party and the
conservative members of other parties
in building this noble state, we must set
the past thirty months of rank talk, cul-
minating in as fragrant an abuse of
power, as reckless disregard of laws
and presidents and as brutal raid on
the states good name as could we'll have
been contrived. If the farmers of Kan

then it is clear that all that they need to

A Bootblack Knows Kind Man When He
Sees One.

Sees One.
The Italian boys whose familiar cry
Of ''Shine, boss?" is heard on all the
ferryboats, are sometimes very clever
in their methods of extending the
trade. A well-dressed. middle-aged,
prosperous-looking man boarded a
South Brooklyn boat for New York
one afternoon lately, his shoes display
ing variegated assortment of Brook
lyn dirt and dust. He nodded to a
bootblack who regarded his customers
shoes critically, observed that the Gus
toner was good atured-iooking
man, and said persuasively:
''Catcha da plenta mud, boss. Dis-a
shine ten-a cent Eh?"
The customer said all right. A little
boy, Eve or six years old, edged away
from sister twice his age, who had
him in charge, and watched the shin
ing operation with great interest The
man was evidently interested in the
boy, and the bootblack noted that in
stantly. When the bootblack's FIRST
job was finished the man and boy had
formed very friendly acquaintance
Let me give-a da boy da shine" said
the bootblack.
This pleased the man and amused the
boy.
Now, who is your mother7" was one
of the questions of the boy.
His mother is dead, sir" said the
sister.
'.Ah, poor little chap" exclaimed the
man.
The boo.black regarded the girl GU.
OF the corners Of his eyes, gave glance
at the man, finished the boys shine
and said:
''Let-a me give-s da lady da shine,
boss?''
Certainly. certainly exclaimed the
man. and the girl laughed SO much over
the operation that the man WAS too

knows how the excorIate the chief
executive in free lance style. What he
says is substantially true, but the expa-

Mr.. Stewart hasn't strengthened the

The Nevada senator ought to remember
that discretion is the better part of

outbreak in the senate against the ad-

countrymen, has been with Prince Bis
marck in his unequal contest with En-

Manufacturers who pay their help by
check would have conserved the interests
OF their help Withholding payment for
few weeks. Several sharp Shylocks who
are on the lookout for such occasions as
the present are charging 10 per cent. for
cashing these checks which have been
so laboriously earned.
No one wants dollar that passes cur
rent for only 80 cents and that is practi-
cally what is being given out.

cents but the popularity OF the stamp,

THE MESSAGE.

The message OF President Cleveland
while perhaps disappointing to some is
yet very sound and statesmanlike doc
ument. 1t meets the needs of the hour,
setting forth fully what is the cause of
the present financial trouble, and how It
can in measure be alleviated. The way
Is pointed out In unmistakable terms,
leaving to Congress to provide the meas
ures to accomplish the result.
So far as needed legislation is con.
cerned, aside from the repeal of the Sher.
man act, the message Is silent. But
there is no doubt but what the Presi-
dent has distinct ideas upon that subject.
A man standing IN his position must have,
and undoubtedly by some means he will
see that his views get to the ears OF the
Democratic leaders. What these views
are we can only surmise. We had, then,
far better wait for their development.
It is conceded on all sides that the mes
sage is an admirable and clean cut argu.
ment for sound money. 1t states the pol
icy OF past legislation In the light OF past
experience. 1t points out the result. II
calls halt. 1t says, II we continue, prac.
tical ruin stares us In the face and drop.
ping away from the position OF one of the
first nations Of the world. In order to
have great country we must have an
honest monetary system-no deprecated
currency.
Our effort to bring up silver has been
acknowledged by the greatest financiers
OF the world to be noble and heroic e,.
fort. But 1t has failed. There is moth.
ing left for us to do but to retreat. This
must be done quickly and for this reason
Congress is called together. We are
sorry that tariff reform must be deferred.
We ebelieve with the comptroller of the
currency that to the tariff is
due much OF the present un.
certainty In business. To delay
this is only to put of the Inevitable. II
still leaves the business world uncertain
and unsettled on one OF the greatest and
most difficult questions OF the hour. TIL,
temperature Of the business world will bt
lowered but the condition Of the patien,
will still be feverish.
But the President has performed hi,
duty, as he saw 1t, well and in trui,
patriotic manner. He is to be commendet
and we trust that from II will come tha
confidence that will again bring to u
renewed prosperity and unmeasured an,
increasing success. ~z1..' .lt .u 2. II
