non-partisan. They could not be
more SO. Those who assert thew are
partisan are politicians who know
their party will nominate goldbups.

DO THEY FEAR TO GO ON RECORD?
We have heard no objection from
from those Democrats who signed
the call for the convention to the
publication of their names, but some
of their friends seem to be very
sorry for them, and are begging for
a suppression of the record.
The Charlotte Observer SAYS:
1.-THE Democratic signers of the call for
the silver convention are doubtless nearly
all sorry about it now. and the Observer is
conndent that MI. Ed. Chambers Smith
will not do so foolish thing as to publish
the list"
The Raleigh correspondent of the
same paper says:
"A prominent and thoughtful Democrat
said to day: If l were Ed Chambers Smith
I certainly would not publish the list Of
people who signed the call for the silver
convention which were sent to the various
counties, nor would ] let The CAUCASIAN
publish it. 1t will simply aggrayate mat
tiers. VI course the signers are, as one
newspaper has said, Democrats under sus-
picion,' but why parade their names?"'
This is peculiar talk. The plea of
mercy from a Democratic goldbug
paper for silver Democrats is only
one step behind the colossal absurd
ity of defense of "the church, by
anIlncongruous lot of partisan politi-
cal papers. If the "signers," who
claim to be men of stamina and con
viction. can stand this thing, we are
sure the public can stand it. "Dem.
ocrats under suspicion" That's
lively. Must every Democrat in the
State VINO cid not sign the call rise
to remark: II didn't sign it," so that
the cloud of suspicion" may be
lifted from hint
Explanations are in order, gentle
men. Not quite a thousand mem
bers of your party signed that call;
but they are not known. Are Won

For years past the organized De-

clared in favor OF it and have de.

professions, declarations and de.

THE DONALD SERIES,
FOR TINY BOYS.
NO. III.


Mamma and papa both saw Donald slyly
put three sticks OF gum into his rosy
mouth, yet, when papa went to say good
night to his little son, Donald was trying
to get that very same gum off the top of
his curly head! Iwonder how it got there
The poor little boy was in terrible trouble,
mixing golden curls and gum, worse and
worse, in dreadful snarl. "Get the scis-
sors quick, papa" But papa said, "Oh,
no; that would never do. 1t is not the
fault of the curls that the gum is there"
Then papa sat down beside the little bed
and picked out as much gum from among
the tumbled hair as he could, while Donald
squirmed and twisted and said 'ouch"
and 100" and all the other baby words
which mean ut hurts,'' and then he con-
fessed that his mouth got tired, so he tried
to stick the gum to the head of his crib
but the naughty stuff fell down and stuck
to his head instead.
The next morning when nam m a tried
to brush the golden curls she found out
just what had happened and the little fell
low had to 60 to the bathroom and have
his head we'll washed with lots of soap
and water, which he did not like one bit.
Moral-Little boys, don't chew gum.

DARBLY AND HIS BEANS.

The restaurant which interests me most
in Paris is Darbly's, on the Rue de la
Gaite, just few doors from the little
theater so well known in the artist world
Everybody knows Darbly's beans. They
are not 'Boston-baked beans" Oh, no;
but they are well-cooked, we'll seasoned
haricots blancs. They can always be found
on Saturday nights with unceasing regu-
lar1ty. These beans have made Darby
famous. There are other articles of food
well worth eating at rates which make
your addition modest. You must pay
extra for your tablecloth.
Being cremerie, it is painted white. In
the windows are few plants and meager
display of eggs, custard and pickles. The
tables are handicapped. the chairs cane

The room is long and narrow. 1t will
accommodate about forty.
In the corner at your left as you enter
is madame's throne behind the desk where
she sits in state and collects the addition.
Nine. Darby is typical French shop
woman-dark, fat and forty. Darby him
self promenades up and down the aisle,
bowling and smiling to see that all are
satisfied. He is the image of Cleveland,
though not quite SO fat as Grover. Singly he
is called 'Grover" by the boys. In his con-
jugal relations they call him and Madame
DARBY and JOAN" In the rear of the
room, through an open doorway, you see
the kitchen and the numerous relatives
who assist in preparing the food. Darply
has host of relatives.
The hungry clientele which gathers here
is made up of bonnes, grisettes, dress
makers. actresses, models, students, old
men with curious coiffures and sprink-
ling of all professions. Occasionally some
famous man, revisiting Paris, drops in to
recall old memories.

Many girls prefer to live Independently

The view from the window is always a

drapery thrown over it when money is

never pretty in Paris. Sometimes little

THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION OF PARIS


Among the noteworthy works exhibited
by Americans at the Champs Elysees Salon
this year was one cata logued "Springtime
and Love-" by A. A. Anderson OF New
York. To him the American Art Assocla-
ton owes its existence. To him belongs
all the glory for the good it has done and
the help it has given to the many Amerl-
can boys, strangers in strange land. He
had been a student himself and knew what
it was to be lonesome and homesick in a
foreign country. He knew how such feel-
ings untitled one for work. One day in
his hunt for little "bits" of nature, in look
ing over an old wall, he saw a long mar
row building, whose entire floor was be-
low the level of the street. Inquiry
proved that it had once been private
schoolhouse abandoned for want of room.
Through his personal efforts and those OF
his friends whom he had interested. in the
project, the place was entirely restored
and opened to the students, May "a, 1890.
Many art clubs had been formed before,
but in the competition between noise end
art the muse of noise was always winner
and little artistic benefit had been derived.
Cultivation stopped with the outward
man. The inner had no show.
In the shadow of the wall lies a little
shoemaker's shop, with just room enough
for himself, his shoes and the visitors s
chair. He always has neatly mended sec
ond-hand shoes for sale.

they went to work at it just as if it was
their kind of days work.
They worked fast, but they knew just
what to do, and they didn't get bit ex-
cited.
The roof was all blazing, but the men
ran all over it just as if it was cold.
Wherever a blaze came and stuck out it's
tongue at them they would turn a stream
of water and make It hide its head.

mans back was turned it would jump up
again, saucy as ever.
Sometimes the tongues would be stick
ing out and waggling in dozen places at
once, but the men didn't get nervous and
they didn't go away.
One man in long coat stood where the
roof must have been hottest and gave
orders to the others.
He looked as big as giant standing UP
there, and when | saw him standing there
as cool as a cucumber in the middle of all
that fire, and just quietly telling those
men how to do the very best thing to beat
that fire / couldn't see why he wasn't just
as good hero as any general that ever
told his soldiers how to kill enough people
to win battle. Can you?
The fremen put that fire out pretty
soon, just as the people seemed to know
they would.
The crowd scattered, we rolled up ou1
hose, the cars began to run, and we came
home to our engine house again.
Now whenever Nip and Tuck come
