with her hair in puffs.

litical Protective association and from
the United Order of Daughters of the
BalIot-Box; shall go to an afternoon
tea on election day, and wear long
skirt over my bicycle boomers; shall
faint at sight of a rubber mouse,
and"
Good gracious. Marie! Is there in
sanity in your family? Or have you
suddenly become engaged?'
Neither. It's all on account of that
horrid Ethel Briggs"
IF it's anything mean about her dc
tell me; She"
Mean! It's the meanest thing ever
heard of. You know, she pretended
that she didn't want to vote, so 1 was
sent to convince her that it was her
duty. She fatty refused to do it--said

her ward, and that it was vulgar any
how"

came to me in great state; somebody
had spilled a cup of coffee over the
front of her best evening gown. She
was dying to go to Clara's reception
and hadn't thing to wear"
I'm glad to hear it; She"
Yes. She actually wanted to Dor
row my lovely chiffon frock; did you
ever hear Of such impudence?"s
Never. suppose it was all because
she had loaned you her string of pearls

8 Yes; and what a cold / caught
they were no protection at all. OF
course l refused to loan the gown; 1
never sit down in it and Ethel is so
careless"
Il know; and so crazy after the men
that If one of them even offers her a
chair she can't refuse it."
Just so. Well, she went away in a
huff. Next day, however, our COM
mittee visited me and told me the cleo
ton would be so close that l must get
Ethel's vote. decided to sacrifice my
gown to my party"
well, you are stateswoman"

her that if she would promise to vote

No; in spite of the fact that we sent

vote, so right after breakfast the next
morning l went over. The servant said
she was out, but l don't believe it.

WIND AND INSANITY.

Beyond the peradventure of a doubt
there is something in the claim Of the
German musician at Dayton, Ohio, that
playing on the oboe has made him in
sane. This particular German in his
plea of guilt OF theft offered in this ar
gument il all good faith and il really
appears that there is something in l..
Any student of history, il he reflects,
can at once convince himself that Wind
and Insanity have been promenadmg
down the corridors of time together for
several decades. For centuries the wise
man has been the silent man, while the
fool has allowed his mouth 10 dictate to
him. The empty barrel makes the
most noise and the more shallow the
brook the more gurgling it does. The
Jess there is in mans brain the more
time and breath he undoubtedly takes
to express 1t. Ii insanity can be dis
tinguished, then, by noise and blow, it
may be caused by blowing.
This is not an attack On the oboe. 1t
Is noble instrument. People who have
associated with breach-loading oboe
for years have TO come TO love 1t like a
brother. There is no greater bliss in
this world than to wiad your arms
around an oboe and throw your should
ers back into the dreamy past and blow
your daylightS out into the lank and
hollow log which is called an oboe. 1t
takes certain amount of heroism as
well. In the still watches of the night
man playing soft, sonorous melodies
on the oboe must have that GOODNESS and
agility of mind to detect brick-bat in
the darklIng twilight twenty feet off.
He must be able to know intuitively
that his neighbor has just fired a boot
jack at his head and yet not escape a
bar of the music in getting out of the
road.
But however much man may be
welded TO the oboe it will bring him
insanity. incidentally it may also make
the neighbors crazy too. However, that
is inconsequental.
Blowing of any kind will SPAWN the
brain. The man who blows a tin horn
on ratification night losses his wits.
This was remarked by several Populists
in Wichita recently. The man who
gets down on his gizzard in trying
to fan red coal into life is dangerous
man to approach for day or two after
ward. The same effect can be detected
in a man who tries to clean out his pipe
stem bs blowing in one end.
But this ought not to be laid up against
the oboe. 1t can't help it. 1t was
built that way.

With the sale of the $4,000 900 il

With the sale of the $4,000, 900 in
bonds Secretary Carlisle expects to get
the gold up to a comfortable point again.
1t had dropped to $50 600, 900 before in
lace of the first bond issue, and subse-
quent thereto had never come up higher
han S65, 100000. Before the second
pond issue was opened it had started
down again, reaching So 100000. 1t is
expected that the gold received from the
second issue will send it to 500, 900. 900.
This it may do, but it is extremely
doubtful whether that amount can be
maintained.

There is something fictitious in the
,ry which is supposed to be general and
has for its burden Give us a rest from
politics" Nd sooner is a campaign over
than this profess against politics goes
up. And vet at the same time and in
the same breath men go or talking poll
tics and the public by its interes and
expressions sustains the press in talking
politics. The truth of the matter NAV
be found in the fact that the people
grow tired, not of politics, but of the
same contest. When a new issue or a
new set OF candidates is presented the
public is as interested as ever.

So intricate is the system that few men

question has always been a difficult one
