For if you knew, you would not deny
That mine is Il sorry lot.

To twist me up SO tight that I'll
Keep going for a week.
She leaves me open when she will,
Till I'm sick of dirt and things
OF pins and hair have got my fill
And Of buttons, hooks and strings,
There's four-leaf clover in me, too,
And piece Of a photographs;
am stuffed completely through and

With toothpicks, cloves and chaff.
Ny hands are twisted to and fro,
l am thumped and Jared alack.
And then. if I fail to straightway go,
l am pounded front and back.
With her hat-pin all my wheels she'll pry
Till she breaks them, every one.
Aud then she'll say: II don't see why
This blamed old thing won't runv'

les dealing in life insurance. And those
that did take such risks made the rate
nearly double those which were
charged to men, as they argued that
women were not rs long lived as men.
and therefore not nearly as desirable
subjects. This notion, which for so
long hindered clear-sighted women who
were anxious to provide for the future
welfare Of their loved ones in this man
ner, has now been done away with,
and the Philadelphia Times knows of
one large corporation which has taken
the lead in this line and is most anx-
ious to secure just such sort Of life in
SuIance and at the same rates as those
that apply to men. This is, as it should
be, for women are just as DESTROYS of
making some provision for their loved
ones in case Of their demise as the
keenest business man that ever ex-
listed. Many a widow left with helpless
little ones has been haunted with the
thought of their future, even though
she were able to cope with their pres
ent wants Many a woman on whom
depends an invalid brother or sister
would feel much happier if she knew
that she could by life insurance secure
those helpless ones from the bitterness
of poverty which her death would
plunge them into if such a precaution
had not been taken. 1t is q step i'll the
right direction, and should have been
taken long ago, for women have been
proved to be as long lived as men. and
the company that takes risks on their
lives is dc ing something not one bit
more hazardous tl.an when they so
gladly rush in and insure the lives Of
as many men as they can get

A TEST VOTE.
A Free Coinage Rider to the National
Bank Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-The Star
last evening says: 'The silver men
in the senate will test their strength
without bringing up the question of
unconditional repeal. The plan
which has been.devised by the Dem
ocratic leaders in that body is one
that will permit the silver men to
test their strength without the risk
OF a vote on the repeal bill. The
scheme in brief is to dispose of the
banking bill before the repeal meas
ure is taken up for consideration.
The silver men expect the banking
bill to be amended in such way as
to develop it into broad and general
financial measure. With silver out
OF the question the amendments
likely to be adopted are such as will
either meet with the approval of the
anti-silyer men or at any rate, will
not be violently opposed by them,
ana ii no silver amendment Is at
tached to the bill it is likely to pass
the house, but it is understood to be
part of the plan of the silver men
to have an amendment offered pro-
viding for the free coinage OF silver
at ratio of 20 to /, or any other sill
yer proposition which may develop
the greatest strength in the house.
On this amendment the silver men
in the senate can get test vote with
out going into the consideration of
the Sherman repeal bill. Ii the
amendment carried it would dispose Of
the repeal bill itself, and they are
confident that the composite financial
measure, silver and all, can get
through the house.

and no charge upon the county in
this respect. The house and premi-

Communications.

Our local W. G. Il. U. had a
very enjoyable time last evening,
upon the occasion of preaching
and song service held in the Audito-
rum.
A good audience gathered despite
the severity of the weather and they
listened to the excellent sermon of
Bro. G. W. Kepler, who was in his
sunniest vein, with marked atten-
ton throughout. The choice of a
text was never more golden, for
what biblical words could more
APPLY express the weapons we use
in the peaceful war we wage "For
God and Home and Every Land"
and the' wonderful victories that
have ACQUIRED to the temperance
cause, though God, than those to be
found in 2nd Cor. 10: 4.-"The
weapons of our warfare are not
carnal, but mighty though God to
the pulling down of strongholds?"
The dear old songs Rock of
Ages" "Work for the Night is
Coming" "Guide me, oh Thou
Great jehovah "Blest be the Tie
that Binds" and Good be with
you till we meet again." were sung
with spirit and with the under
standing and the workers feel that
they can thank God and take cour-
age to 60 on and on.
