Some "SmarG Aleck" IN Kansas
has sent to the Federal pensioners
in Shawnee county this circular:
"Comrades: Halt. You are

Owing to the policy OF the pres

the country from going to a silver

100 cents in gold. Moreover, our
gold, silver and greenbacks are all
legal tender, and the pensioners
must accept any one of these

The arraignment Of Presiden

The arraignment Of President
Cleveland before the bar of public
opinion by Populists and thin
cruel Democrats, has become quite
fashionable. Indeed, more fire.
quent and virulent assaults are
made upon him by those profess.

gades who have deserted it's ranks
and are now training under the
populistic banner. Hence, the re-
cent malicious and calumnious at

no surprise in the public mind.

of perjury. While the confession

man Can beat a politician for

this Bimetallic League assembly

only difference between the politl'

ordinary politician was and is, that
none of the politicians who com.

fact, the offices had been seeking
them and chasing them for years
all over the country. All that
they wanted, was to teach the PEG.

There was not one Of these poll

Que who did not feel it his solemn
duty toeducate the people to believe
that two and two make five and
these 16 to / politicians solemnly

For hat trimmings tulips and other
large petaled flowers are made of lace,
flowers being cut in many cases from
rich lace patterns that are wired and

shrink from whole birds for:trimming.
Another new use for lace finds it stiff

outstanding punches and placed on

The reason why the coracle has
lived through so many hundred years
is undoubtedly its portability. A
fisherman lifts it out of his cottage
corner and sings it, by strap at
tached to the seat, across his shoul-
ders, then he places his paddle across
his back, so that the tail of the boat
will not jog his legs, and he is ready

has not mastered its little ways it is
terrible Quicker" and will almost GER
tainly part company with it's occupant.
The boat is so light and 80 fat-bot-
toned and talks such little water that
it requires very careful getting in and
out.
The manner of propulsion is one
entirely peculiar to the coracle, and
is best described as sen sculling re-
versed-- the paddler sits facing his
work and moves the paddle in semi
circles through the water in front OF
him, at the same time pulling the
blade toward him. But it takes some
little time to learn this peculiar
stroke; very slight exera pressure to
right or left will set the little boat
spinning round and round like top.
Nowadays many amateur fishermen
are adopting the coracle, and super
