It Is reported that in Chicago It is as
serted that one of the amendments offer
ed by Senator Hill TO the financial plank
OF the national democratic platform was
adopted. The amendment was as follows:
But II should be carefully provided by
law. at the same time. that any change
in the monetary standard should not ap-
ply TO existing contracts"
The reports at the time the convention
was held were that all the amendments
offered by Senator Hin were defeated.
Now it is declared that the notes of the
stenographer of the convention show that
the foregoing amendment was adopted.
We do no; put any faith in this story.
If the vote on the amendment had been
SO close as to be in doubt a vote by dele
cations would have been called for. and
the matter satisfactorily settled. That no
such vote was called for. and that it was
announced that the amendment was de-
feated prove beyond any reasonable doubt
that it was defeated-overwhelmin de-
feated.
What the purpose of setting afioat such
a story was will never be known probably.
Doubtless it was only to create a mild
newspaper sensation. Anyway, it is GER
tain that the amendment is not a part of
the platform-at least not of the platform
that has been published as the work of
the convention.

An Early start.

An uptown citizen was awakened very
early on a recent morning by a chorus of
musical voices. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. He arose and went to the win
dow. Dimly in the shadowy dawn he saw
half a dozen girlish forms grouped before
the house next door There was a wheel
beside each, and he cOmprehended that
this meant an early outing As he dis
creetly ducked back his head a shower of
gravel struck the nearest window of the
next door.
Mabel. oh Mabel" sang out shrill
soprano.
Hush. you'll wake the neighborhood. -
murmured a warning voice.
Something ought to wake 1t up once in
while" said another voice.
Who lives next door?" this in a loud
whisper
Mr. Crimmins."
The man at the window ducked back
again.
Lets serenade him
Guess not, he'd throw bootjacks at US"
Maybe he'd go along If we asked him. -
Wild chorus of giggles.
Not much. He loves his pillow too
we'll"
Then the shriu voice rose again.
Mabel. oh Mabel"
Then an alto note descended from the
window.
Say, you girls, keep still. You'll wake
papa. just wait a minute-mamma is go
ing with u.s."
few moments later there was the
sound of footsteps in the gravel driveway.
and two more shadowy forms Joined the
group. There were hurried greetings, and
then an older voice asked:
Where do we go?''
To Willoughby, don't we, Marie?"
There We're more giggles. and a little
scramble of feet on the roadway and then
the party wheeled down the street limo
the deeper shadows.
Mr.. Crlmmins came away from the win
dow and sought his pillow again.
When he stepped out of the bouse-it
might have been s o'clock-he looked IN
at his neighbours shaded porch as he pa s.

his neighbours daught ter in dainty white
gowns, looking as cool and restful as if

Vice-President St. John of the Sea-
board Air Line, states that the rate war
with the Southern is to be a fight TO a
finish, unless the Southern withdraws
certain of its steamers. Mr.. St. John
says his road has been put upon the de-
fensive, that the Southern has been try
ing to crush it. and that it doesn't pro-
pose to be crushed. An unfortunate fea-
ture of these railroad fights is that in
nocent persons suffer loss through them,
and that they demoralize other bust
ness than the roads. There ought to
be some way of putting a stop to them
promptly. We don't know whether Mr..
ST. Johns statement of the cause of the
trouble between the Seaboard and South
ern is correct or not. No doubt he thinks
it is, and doubtless the Southern enter
tains similar view respecting its side of
the trouble. But why should the business
of vast territory be unsettled because
they cannot adjust their differences?
That is what the public would like to
know.

When Farmer White drove brisklv m
the lane as he returned from town his
eyes bulged with surprise, says the De-
troit Free Press. Pfckets were broken at
intervals along his neat fence The gate
was hanging on one hinge, the thrifty
Barden was all torn up, the kitchen door
mad evidently been struck by a batter
ing ram and the family were at the up-
stairs window looking wildly terrified
what in creations the matter here?"
cried the farmer, as he drew up at the
side Of the house. Just then a yearling
calf bounded from the opposite side Of
the driveway, gave the horse a terrific
butt in the stomach, next knocked a few
spokes out of a front wheel and then
tried to scramble into the buggy. while
the farmer was lighting it off with the
whip.
That's what's the matter. pan" shout

pesky calls drove us all inter the house
and tore the farm all to pieces. Never

And you never will again." declared
the father as he sprung out, now thor
oughly aroused. But he had no sooner
landed than the calf caught him amid
ships and knocked him endwise into a
gooseoerry bush Back the farmer went
at the calf but this time he got it in the
wind, and IL was a settler.

And pap did go into the house as fast
as his trembling legs would carry him,

door. Beaten out Of that, it tried to

explanations. Able had drawn a bucket
of cider and then set 1t down while he
ran to chase the chickens out of the gar

Its sad habiliments of sombre gray
Drove all the rosy flames of hope away.

Poured through the window his estate

As If to make the welcome gospel plain
That JOY shall triumph over grief and

A fresher glory flushed the fields and

Defenders gloom hid in the almanac.

EURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that z. p. P, Lippman's Great

neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of kis face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. p. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases Of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that p. 2. 2. will not make

Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, 2. P. p Lippmau's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.

often fatal results. P. P. p. removes
