A DEMOCRATIC VAIL.

How are the mighty fallen! How
bravely they put on their harness! The
Democratic New York Sun sums up the
results: "'War to the knife! was the
first watchword. Peace at any price,
is the last. And peace at what price!
The party's pledges trampled on, the
Democracy betrayed, the unique oppor-
tunity rejected and forever lost. Pro-
lection unsolicited, the Populist income
tax adopted, the drawbridges down for
the men who march under the red flag

FOR KANSANS ONLY.

People are inclined to regard stories of
swearing parrots as mythical. But 1t is a
fact that parrot will acquire profaue
words much more readily than any other
kind, and it is next to impossible to break
them of the habit.
Down in Wellington there is a minister
who owns parrot of the swearing kind.
He complained about it to friend and the
latter told him how to cure it Of profanity.
''If he begins to swear" said he, take
hold of the cage and swing it around rap
idly about ten times and then douse a
bucket of water on the parrot"
The minister lay in wait and the next
time the parrot swore did as directed.
Then. after setting the cage down, be
glanced Mt the bird, half dazed and all
ruffled, and asked: "Well, how do you
feel?"
"Ohr' said the parrot, looking out of
one eye in a quizzical manner, Pm all
right; but where in the HI were you
when the cyclone struck us?"

Making Others Enjoy Themselves.

The faculty Of making others enjoy

on good nature and genuine good feeling
the counterfeit never passes. Every one
loves TO be happy, and happiness Is con-
tagious; and every one loves TO be happy
with a clear conscience and the good
nature that takes no advantage, that
makes no exaction, and that amuses
with no unknd drollery, is an excellent
foundation for the attainment of this
accomplishment. Every girl. then, should
begin early to cultivate any faculty for
drollery she may possess. without condo

the whole business will react upon her
