His Aggrayatine Nickname.

The disadvantage of having "A nickname
applied in early youth was never better IL
lustrated than by the experience Of the
boy who was known in the White House
six or seven years ago as Baby" Mckee
He is now a resident of New York city
and Is stout youngster of nearly 12, with
a great fondness for baseball and other
athletic sports, and Golden Days says his
life would be as pleasant as that of any
other boy Of that age were 1t not for the
infantile nickname, which olings to him
like an incubus. On all occasions his play
mates use 1t, and even his elders some
times hail him with the hated appellation.
But by far the most CALLING part of the
business is that people all over the country
seem to ignore the flight of time and keep
sending him gifts only fitted for the nurs-
cry. Dolls, rattles rubber rings and high
chairs are among the things that cause
positive torture to the grandson of the ex.
president, and it is limited that he handles
them anyway but gently In his wrath. 1t
Is not impossible that the name will cling
to him until manhood, and all because
newspaper writers chose to saddle him
with nickname.

When the king beheld her, he thought

spurned her from him.

THE SENATE OUTLOOK.
Need of Hearty and United Action Among
Democrats.

Democrats.
The democrats of New York should
do something to help assure a demo-
cratic majority in the United States
senate. When that body meets in De-
cember IL will be made up Of forty
three republicans, thirty eight demo-
Gratis and seven democratic and repub-
lican populists. The condition of par
ties may remain until 1897, when the
successors to twenty-nine senators
will be chosen. OF these twenty-nine
twelve are now republicans, fourteen
are democrats and three are populists
1t is safe to assume that ten of the
states now represented by republicans
will be held for that party, and that
they may gain three senators from
states now held by populists and one
from the democrats That will give
them fourteen Of the new senators
On the other hand, should the demo-
Gratis secure the Utah senators and
hold New York and Ohio they would
have sixteen of the new senators in
1897. II Nevada remained a strict sill
yer state and its new senator insisted
upon standing out with Stewart, the
populists In the senate would be but
three in number--Allen, OF Nebraska;
Stewart and Jones--if Jones insisted
upon returning from Nevada. It APP
pears to be possible that in 1897 the
senate may stand forty-tive democrats,
forty-one republicans and three inde-
pendents
II New York state 10 thrown away TO

The Farm Journal says that roller
ought to be made in two sections SO
that one may roll back and the other
forward in making turn; otherwise a
bad gouging of the surface occurs at ev-
cry turn. The authority quoted illus
trates what is claimed to be the best
manner of constructing a roller Two
pieces of plank are halved together at
right angles for ends, and pieces V
shaped are fitted in at the four corners.
These ends should be "a or more inches

narrow strips Of plank, with edges sawed

at the mill. These strips are spiked to
the ends, and over each end stout iron
hoop is put ON hot and allowed to shrink
into place, as wagon tire is put ON.
