a LESSON IN LOVE.

"Love Is not wise, " they say
Those sage advisers that have lived and
died
ana lnNheir sterner moments put aside
The arch intruder from their way;
Love is not wise they say.
- They seek to brighten thee
Nhou who art far from their old, stupid
world
And on the airy wings of youth art whirled
Above oil practically;
They seek to brighten thee.
Decline their wisdom now;
And seek that only that our hearts perceive,
Only that grand, great bliss which believe
Comes from our spirits secret VOW
Decline their wisdom now!
Edmond Picton, in Times-Democrat.

Children's Feet.

Foolish as well as careless mothers
allow their children TO wear crelnping
footgear, the former on account of a
desire to have the little peoples feet
appear small and the latter from
thoughtless inattention. A pnir ofshoes
is bought which fit the foot snugly.
The feet grow rapidly, and tlo shoes
soon become too small. The proper
plan is to get the shoes large enough
for the growing feet, and then they
will not have to be cast aside until they
are worn out, and the feet will retain
their normal shape.

Why They Fade.

Colored clothing fades because it is
put into hot water. Even the brown
hosiery will keep the bright russell
tint if washed in cold water. Moth
ing else is good for Isle thread, silk or
silk and thread underwear. Printed
lawns, cottons and linens are in dan
ger the moment hot water touches
them. Woolens, on the other hand,
should never be put in cold water.
Only white goods should be boiled.

Gasoline as a Cleanser.

A gown that has become sadly soiled,
and yet is not of wash material, may
be as well cleaned as if it had been put
into the tub. This is done by using
gasoline in bulk. 1t may be bought
at any hardware shop where materials
for different sorts of stoves are kept.
Use plenty and wash the frock in a
big pan without any ripping apart at
all. 1t will come out spotless, not
even requiring to be ironed at all.

BEHEI.D THEM WITH AWE.
The Kansas City Delegates Taken FOR a
Diyi.iOn Of the Common
veal Army.

Many amusing incidents occurred
during the Kansas City convention.
After the meeting of the different
Congressional delegations at the
Court House Tuesday morning
the delegates and their friends who
accompanied them to the city took
up the line of march to the Audi
torium, where the convention was to
be held.
A line of men several blocks long
will attract attention in almost any
city, and Kansas City was no excep-
ton to the general rule. On they
went, over 600 strong, and for the
most part farmers who cared not too
much for the conventionalities OF this
world. Owing to the excessive heat,
over two-thirds of them had taken
off their coats and collars and were
mopping the profuse psrspiration
from their brows with large BAN
| danas. A small boy who was play
ing ball on a vacant lot paused in
his sport to view the procession.
The sight was too much for him,
and turning to his companion, he
| shouted, "Hey! Jimmy; Git on to

Bland's Presidential Boom.

Governor Stone launched the
presidential boom for "Silver Dick
Bland in the State Democratic Con-
vention.
The temporary chairman, J. Med.
Trimble, after long continued row
in the committee of resolutions,
sought to make matters smooth in
his opening speech to the conven-
ton by declaring that State conven.
tions did not meet to decide Ma
tional issue nor to nominate a
presidential candidate nor to create
presidential possibilities.
When Gov. Stone, who was made
permanent chairman, began to make
his talk about the first thing he ut
tered was a denial of Trimble' 8
propositions. State conventions,
he declared, express the thought OF
the people of the State which is crys-
talized at National conventions. He
was sorry that rumors made him a
candidate for United States Sena-
tor, a position he did not seek.
When he retired from the Governor.
ship, he said emphatieally, it would
be to return to private life. But,
regarding the report which connect
ed Congressman Bland with the
presidential nomination of 1896, be
wished to say that the people could
not nominate a more conscientious,
faithful and devoted servant. Nc
better man had ever been elected tc
public office. He was worthy OF
the highest confidence. And if the
speaker ever had an opportunity be
would gladly support him for tha

The Platform Satisfactory.
Springfield mo J Leader.

Springfield mo Leader.
Touching the Administration the
resolutions are just and honorable.
No Democrat honest with himself
questions the patriotism, integrity
and courage of Mr.. Cleveland. The
party in Missouri, as well as in all
the Western and Southern States,
takes issue with him on the coinage
question, but upon the other weighty
matters of taxation, economical ad-
ministration, non-interference by
Federal authority in local affairs all
true Democrats are united, and the
convention wisely disappointed the
occasional Hotspurs in the party as
we'll as the whole body of Missouri
Republicans.
There was no occasion for a fac.
tional fight and there were no divis-
ions that even temporarily defy the
pacific hand of a ready Democratic
aequieseence in the will of the ma.
iority. The convention did its work
honestly and courageously and has
earned commendation that will be
voiced in united party, vigorous
campaign and complete victory in
November.

TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON.
Henry W0OIwine, Of Rush Hill, is
Given a Long Term in the Peni-
Tertiary In the Montgomery
Circuit Court.

Henry Woolwine, who lives in
Rush Hill, was sentenced to twenty
years in the State Penitentiary by
the Montgomery County Circuit
Court Friday.
Woolwine, who ran a combination
grocery store and meat market in
Rush Hill, was charged with Grim
inally assaulting Alta Middleton.
The crime was committed October
%, 1892, at which time Miss Mid
dletop was barely IA years of age,
while Woolwine was a man of prob
ably 35 years, married, and having
a family of three children.
The girl had gone to Woolwine's s
store for the purpose of buying meat.
1t is claimed that Woolwine locked
the front door of the store, forced
the girl into the back room, and
accomplished his fiendish purpose.
Woolwine was tried in the Audrain
Circuit Court in February, 1898 and
received sentence of six years in
the penitentiary. His attorneys
secured for him new trial, which
was set for the June term of the
Audrain Court. When the case was
called the defendant took a change
CT venue to Montgomery County.
The case did not come up until
Friday, however, and then with the
above result.
Woolwine is out on 50 900 bond,
pending the action of the Court on
motion for new trial, which was
filed by the defendants attorneys,
Messrs. Edmondston & Cullen, of
this city, and Sol Hughlett, of Mont
gomery County. J.G.Trimble, pros
ecuting attorney of this county, as,
sisted by F. R. Jesse, of Audrain
county and Robert Shackleford, Of
Montgomery county, represented
the State.

BLAND'S PRESIDENTIAL BEE.
The Silver Champion Now Openly In
the Ffeid-M0rgan ON His
Prospect.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Bland's
Presidential boom received very
slight initiation in consequence ofthe
Kansas City Convention, but it is
still far from being on parity with
other Presidential booms.
Mr.. Morgan Of Missouri pumped
little wind into it to-day, for when
asked what effect he though the
convention would have uponBland's
manifest candidacy, he said freely:
"It ought to strengthen him amaz-
ingly. If the remainder of the West
is as deeply in sympathy with free
silver as the Missourians are, and T
think it is, we shall insist upon not
only having free silver plank in
our platform in 1896, but we shall
also insist that a candidate pledged
to that doctrine shall stand upon it.
should say at this time that Mr..
Bland is the logical candidate" :"
Then Mr.. Morgan added that he
believed Eastern Democrats would
support Bland if nominated, when,
as a matter of fact, Eastern Demo-
Gratis use Bland's name to scare their
children with.
Before he went to Kansas City
Mr.. Bland had an excellent oppor-
tunity to deny that he harbored any
presidential aspirations, and when
he saw that opportunity he went
around the back way.
Considerably more capital has
been made of BIand's unquestioned
prominence in the fight for silver
than many of his Democratic col
leagues are willing to rate him at, for
it is with them an open question
whether he has not done silver's
cause at least as much harm as good.
His methods of leadership have
from time to time alienated elements
that were wavering, unified the OPP
position and often enough disgrunt-
led his own hosts. There are silver
men by the score who wish heartily
that he would fight in the ranks fol
just one campaign. They say thai
then something besides noise might
be achieved.

Platform Discussed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May H.
Everybody is discussing the great
contest over the silver question led
by Richard P. Bland and ex-Gov.
Francis.
The sentiment here is that Fran
els did not receive such a severe
drubbing after all. 1t is true he fail
ed to carry his substitute into the
platform, but his fight had the effect
of keeping out Of it a positive decla-
ration for free coinage at ratio of
Is to |.
The Francis men wanted an
equitable adjustment of ratio and
they carried it. Yet the Bland men
say the platform means free and un-
limited coinage at a ratio of 16 to /.
rhe contest was the most interest
ing ever seen in a Missouri conven-
ton,

FRANCIS. SATISFIED.
The Ex-Governor Chats With q Report
er About the Ticket and
Platform.

From the st. Louis Post D1spatcn.
Concerning the net results OF the
conventions work, Gov. Francis
said this morning:
EX-Goy. FRANCIS VIEWS.
"Yes, Pm very well satisfied with
the result of the convention. The
ticket nominated is an excellent one
in its personnel, all of the candidates
being strong, pure men, with good
records. Judge Black never had a
superior on the Supreme bench OF
Missouri, and will be supported by
all the legal fraternity, regardless of
party. Darlington is an earnest and
enthusiastic educator with wide ex-
perience as a teacher, and like
Finks, is held in high esteem by all
who know him. Finks' victory was
a memorable one, and he will add
great strength to the ticket.
81 went to the convention for the
purpose of preventing, if possible,
any denunciation of our Democratic
President, and to prevent, if posi-
BILE, the Democracy of Missouri from
unequiyocally committing itself to
the free coinage of silver on ratio
of 16 to l, as l sincerely believed
that the adoption of such a policy by
the Federal Government would re-
suit in silver monometallism. Not
only did the convention fail to de-
nounce Mr.. Cleveland, or to critieise
him, but it gave him a substantial
and straight-out Endorsement when
it commended his patriotism, his
ability, his courage, and applauded
his purity and economy and vigor OF
his administration.
81 was not satisfied with the
financial plank in the platform as
submitted by Mr.. Bland, and felt it
my duty to oppose the same on the
floor of the convention. The feeling
of the convention on the subject was,
in my opinion, expressed in the vote
upon the substitute offered by my
self, which declared in favor of bi.
metallism, and in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver. without discrimination
against either metal, and without
naming the ratio. l was pleased by
that vote, and was not surprised by
the subsequent action of the conven
ton.
"Many of the delegates eontended
with me that Mr.. Bland's majority
report of the Committee on Resolu'
tions not only abandoned the posi-
ton he has always maintained
(namely that if our Government
should determine to restore the fret
coinage of silver on 16 to 1 basis
the commercial value of a silver dol
lar would Immediately equal th'
commercial value of a gold dolla
on a basis of 16 to y, but that hi
resolution agreed, in effect, that th'
ratio should be readjusted before tn,
free coinage of silver should be at
tempted. In other words Mr.. Blanc
said he could not deny that fret
coinage at any ratio would be al
experiment. He SO stated befor
the committee.
"Already different construction
are being put upon his resolutions.
SIMPLY AS AN EXPERIMENT.
Gov. Francis repeated a portion
of his conversations with Mr.. Blanc
in committee which the Governo
had accepted as proof that while Mr.
Bland had all along held out th'
16 to 1 ratio as an adequate remed.
for the depreciation of silver, he wa
now only willing to offer it as al
experiment.
