soundly until four o'clock, when he
got up, washed himself and went into
Jennings apartment to wake him and
was surprised to see him sitting up in

WHY FRANCE HATES ITALY.
The Triple Alliance Stands I'm the Way of
q Much-Cherished Hope.

The TRIBE Alliance Stands in the Way of
q Much-Cherished Hope.
The true cause of French hatred for
italy is not far to seek. Smarting under
the knowledge that the French armies
had been defeated by the Germans. and
that these defeats would probably be
repeated were France to attack Ger
manv. the French looked elsewhere for
an opportunity of regaining their lost
military prestige. 1t was evident to
every Frenchman that if Italy stood
alone she could easily be crushed by
the overwhelming numbers of the
French army. France could thus gain
military glory, new territory and
ready-made feet.
Here then is glorious opportunity
waiting for the armies of France, and
nothing but that pestilent Triple ALI
ance stands in the way. This is the
whole secret of the growth and vio-
lence of French hatred toward Italy.
France wishes to wage war in which
victory would be reasonably certain.
Rance wants the superb Italian fleet,
the possession of which would give her
an over xhelming naval preponderance
in the Mediterranean France wants
to destroy italian unity. SO as to rem
der anv future triple alliance impos-
sible: and to strengthen the attach
Inent of French Catholics to the repub-
lie bv restoring the temporal sover-
eighty of the pope. And nothing, so
the French believe, hinders this desir-
able contamination except the fact
that behind the army of Italy are
ranged the armies of Austria and Ger

Market Girls of Paris.

Some lovely types of animal beauty
msy be found among the dairy, fruit
and salad booths of the great Central
market of Paris. Here is where artists,
sculpturers, glass painters and illus
traitors go for national types and ma
tive beauty. The young women are
always bare-headed and brown as nuts,
but they have coquetry of their own
that is often irresistible. Nothing but
satin could compare with the gloss they
get on their hair. Like Carmen, they
have an eye for colors. They wear the
toughest of dresses, but under the aver
age is custom-made corset. And such
figures, Most of the collars are turned
in. and the V-shaped corsage, finished
with poise or knot of green, must be
seen to be appreciated. Every motion
is grace, every article-even the tinfoil
lozenge of cheese, the twin artichokes
of red buttons in their heads, the peach
in green leaf a la Venus in her shell
is artistic-N. Y. World.

The suggestion Of the Gazette that
if the women are going into politics
they must harden them selves to dis
agreeable remarks will bear thinking
on according 10 the Topeka Capital.
1t will, indeed. Women must become
as thick-skinned as men. They must
put aside modesty and cultivate their
nerve. No gallantry need be expected.
The woman in politics is entitled to
none. She goes in on her equal
rights" and she therefore must rest
on that If she demands these privil-
eyes on the ground of absolute equality,
and she must drop her feminnity and
take her equality from all sides and
not just where she may elect. She
has no further right to claim special
exemptions on account of her sex, for
has she not insisted upon equal
srights?" If the medicine is sometimes
bitter she must take it like a man.
The incident that called out our re-
mark on this subject, is an elegant
illustration of this point. A Topeka

advantage to you of having a box.
The call boxes, (of which there are
quite number not occupied) cost but

quarter, and large ones so cents a

your mail, save the wear and tear on

crowded into the geneal delivery, by
having box, and at the small expense
there are few men who cannot afford
it. All box rent goes TO the P. o.

the boxes are to the postmaster is that
it aids him in more satisfactory and

THE members of the democratic
county central committee have been
called together to meet on the 26th
inst. for the purpose of fixing a date
for holding q county convention to
select delegates to the state and con-
gressional conventions. 1t is incum-
bent upon every member of the COM
mittee to be present at that meeting,
as these are trying times for demo
Gratis and we must keep level heads
and steer clear of the many rocks and
shoals that heset the course of our
political craft. There are one or two
townships where committeeman select
ed at our last county convention have
gone over to the enemy. Such action
on their part has created vacancies in
the committee, and such vacancies
will be filed, temporarily. by appoint
ment, in order that every township
may be represented at our next meet
ing. This is a time that tries the
honesty and integrity of every demo-
crat-more especially western demo-
grassland We hope there will be the
interest shown by the democratic
county committeeman that the occa-
sion demands. Do not say well, there
will be enough present to do the
business; L will not go this time" but
let every true democrat make special
point to be present and aid by word
and deed the cause of right-the cause
for which we have so long contended
against great odds.
