Pin a Democratic politician down to the facts,
and he will be forced to acknowledge that every
dollar the present congress has economical
has been economical" from the pensions
of veterans. Everywhere else it has been
lavish out-go.-Inter Ocean.
Pin Republican down to facts OF history
about the cupidity of his party, and he'll be
roaring mad i'll minute. Tell him OF the dll-
plcity of the leaders in dealing with the ques-
ton of pensions, and he will swear by all that
s holy that the whole accusation is false. Tell
him of the repeated betrayal of public conf
dence, and he is as ignorant of the whole thing
as Digger Indian, and just about as intelligent
OIL all general subjects. He don't want to
trouble his conscience, and, therefore, does not
want to know the sins of his party.
The statement by cable that 'the japanese
mobiles have subscribed the sum of $50, 100000
as fund to be used in the prosecution of the
war, this fund to draw no interest" shows that
the Japanese people are both patriotic and in
earnest-Inter Ocean,
And it also shows the difference between the
Japanese patriots and American Shylocks. The
Japanese patriots, in the hour of their govern
ments need, come to the front with their money
for the use of their government, without inter
est, while American Shylocks demanded 80 per
cent. interest of their government i'll its hour
of great trial.
HETTy GREEN, perhaps the richest woman
in the United States and beyond all question
the most avaricious woman i'll the nation, has
transferred her millions to her son, residing i'll
the United States but claiming residence i'll
England, to avoid paying the income tax. The
authorities will fail of their duty if they do not
search Hetty Green's and all other suspicious
transfers of all kinds of property to the bottom,
and bring them to condign punishment for their
attempts to defraud the government
THE prominent forte of committees appoint
ed to investigate alleged wrongs committed by
the wealthy and privileged classes upon the
wage-workers is to cover up and report moth
ing wrong The reader can safely wager his
last copper that the committee, with Pullman
passes in their pockets, now investigating the
Pullman starve-out, will cover up the crimes Of
the concave and whitewash every devil of the
conspirators, big and little.

She washed the dishes, and made the bed,
And patiently got on her knees to scrub
In winter she MIXED the cows in the she'd
In Summer bent Ger the stcamng tub
She made the garden and swept and baked
And cooked for boarders and raked the hay
And never complained that her poor head ached
Or John was almost always away
When they asked her if she would like to vote,
She said with sigh and look remote,

She rocked the cradle the while she churned
She kept the children so clean and neat
And most of the living her poor hands earned,
While John talked politics in the street.
When any SIGH, the watch she kept
She gathered the little Sabbath day.
And walked two miles to the church Away.
She mended and sewed while her husband slept
She taught the children each day spell
When they asked if she favored the suffrage plan,
She timidy glanced at her husband-"Well,
If John is willing, guess can"
And so she drudged, and she baked and brewed,
And toiled from dawn to the midnight drear.
John drank, and gossiped, and spat and chewed,
And talked and grumbled of "woman's sphere"
And her children grew into stalwart men,
Brave and helpful, and by her side
She knew she made them, and once again,
When they asked the question, she said with pride,
"There's hundred-dollar sometimes
Yoked to small ten-dollar man.

To vote against him. guess cam"

Kindred Of tho Fool Hen.

The prairie grouse of this section are
more nearly related TO the STOOL hen" of
Montana, and west of the mountains than
the wary prairie hen of Illinois, Iowa,
and southward. The grouse of this Sec
ton are prone to domestication, and when
not disturbed they soon learn to come up
to the farm house and feed with the do
mestic fowls. Travellers along the high.
way often find it difficult to scare them
into fight from the horses hoofs or wagon
wheels. and in other ways these birds show
their stupidity and want OF fear, or mis-
placed confidence in man. Though often
slaughtered in mere wantouess, they are,
aside from their value a. food, good and
useful bird for farmer to have around
about the Homestead. He need not bs.

A Severe Accident.

Mrs. Joe Olsen met with Il very severe
accident at her home in Sverdrvp town
on Wednesday. She was engaged ON that
moring in picketing out e. wild un5roke
broncho, when the animal becoming
frightened at something, and while the
lady was using her utmost strength to
hold the scared beast part of the rope
became entangled with her dress when she
was thrown to the ground and becoming
helpless was dragged by the animal fer
fully half mile, when a part of her dress
tearing, she became unloosened from
her perllious position. While Mrs. Olsen
is badly bruised, no bones we're broken,
and she certainly had very narrow es-
cape from what might have been a fatal
outcome.
