without a regretful sigh. He has been a
patient, kind, loving a~ndsubmissive hus.
band for ali these years. Since Mrs.
Lease took him from out the innocent
ami blushing simplicity Of single blessed
ness and made him her husband, not an
expression of regret has passed his lips.
He has borne with all the fortitude and
resignation Of true husbandhood, with
the %tyrannical caprices of his liege
lady. When her stockings have become
worn, he has darned them, and when the
buttons have bursted from her boomers
he has affixed them again with all the
p%ainstaking care of the affectionase hus-
band. In housekeeping time he has
enveloped his back hair in a towel and
gone cheerfully to work, while Mrs.
Lease has stood upon the street and
talked politics, and never yet has she
come home from down town but there
was a nice, warm meal deliciously pre-
pared for her, her room carefully ar
ranged and the bed neatly made and
spread with clean, white linen, at the
never-tiring hands Of Mr.. Lease. When
the stove was to be BACKED, it has always
been done in Mrs. Leases absence, that
there might be nothing to rufae the calm
serenity Of married life, and when shop
ping, Mr.. Lease is always careful to
avoid any extravaganza which might en-
barrass his adored protector. The chill
dren, too, are living pictures of his gentle
influence in the nursery and about the
house, and in every way he has been a
model helpmeet. But, Notwithstanding
all this, I fear that the stern duties of
public life have engrossed Mrs. Leases
attentions to the partial neglect of her
husband, and that she does not properly
appreciate the household jewel which
shines so brilliantly within the four walls
of her home. And I cannot avoid a sigh
for the tireless husband, who sews, and
washes and irons, and cooks, and mends
the worn garments of the family. L can
see him, patiently threading his darning
needle over the swollen family stocking
bag, and my heart goes out to him. May
his treasure in heaven be large.
Ex-Governor Llewellyng Of Kansas, of
whom it has been my misfortune at sew
eral times to be forced to speak, is per-
haps the first of new school of scientists
to establish a direct scientific relation
ship between buttermilk and populism.
Fol long years he has pored over the
subject with a perseverance and un-
daunted energy which have been untir-
ing, until at last bis researches have
borne frult-if buttermilk may be SO
termed. 1t has been the life study of
the ex-governor to discover what ele-
ments of food contained the germs of
popullsm, in a latent degree. He has

rancid butter, added eggs, soured milk,

democratic convention at Wichita the
other day, was the problem solved. The
day was hot and the strife hotter, and a
war was on between democrats and Don.
ulists, over the Endorsement of the latter
by the former. In the middle of the aft.
ernoon, when the din had reached it's
height, and when the conflict waged
fierce and bloody, forty gallons of but
termilk were presented the convention
by the ex-governor. And then the
deluge! Democrats drank deep of the
enchanted fluid, and tumbled over each
other in their eagerness to get into the
camp of the populists. The ticket of
the latter was indorsed, free silver at
Ii to l declared for, the Cleveland ad-
mlnistration r%epudiated, and the oonven-
ton adjourned, overwhelmed with but
termilk and enthusiasm. The
ner has sent out cipher messages to the
campaign committees Of each state to
corner every churn within range, and
when the time for conventions arrives
next fall, the halls will be flooded with
butternilk at the expense Of the ma.
tional committee. The governor esti-
mates that half of the forty gallons
would have carried the convention at
Wichita, ard at the same rate per man.
it is figured that 100000 gallons Of
pure buttermilk will elect a populistic
president IN '96. An earnest appeal will
be promulgated at once, under the liter-
airy direction Of the Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly, exhorting every populist in the
land to churn at least three hours a week
from now until the next presidential
election, that the success of the peoples
party may be assured.
Now there comes the summer season. when
for some mysterious reason, human
nature toward n magnet, one fixed
pole.star is inclined.
Why it is no man explaineth, but the cold
fact yet remaineth that the whole world
joins in scooping bliss from watermelon
