Bascom had been married for several
years, and had his frequent assurance
that his entire married life was noth-
ing more or less than a path OF silver
sunshine, through golden garden OF
roses. II was q charming metaphor
but 1t fell upon unappreciative ears, for
knew that Bascom had written poetry
in his youth, and, in addition to that,
he was married, and I knew what all
married men had to say to bachelors OF
matrimony, as they had found 1t. IL
was simply sugar spread upon an I'M
certain condition in order to catch such
unwary flies as might be attracted
thereby,

It was about o'clock Saturday att

the country, three hours earlier than
his usual time of arrival, as he had
taken me out at that hour so we might
have little loaflng spell before dinner,

the country and as 1t had not been
pleasant in the heated town, l was glad
enough that he had been so thoughtful.

Idaho Rabbits.

In three rabbit drives this season in
Cassia county, Idaho, some 5000 rab-
bits have been killed. The animals are
astonishingly numerous and a very
serious nuisance, A roundup hunt is

discriminating the pest.

in olden times It
vas considered quite proper to drink
from tho saucers. and the custom pre-
vailed in all classes OF society. Then,
ut later day, when the good housewife
began to look upon saucer-drinklng as
bad form In table etiquette, we can re-
call these same diminutlve teacup
plates, both in glass and china, doing
duty as receptacles for preserves, but
ter and pickles. Fifty or sixty years
ago every well-stocled china closet or
glass cupboard could boast of a supply
of these utensils in variety Of designs
and colors. Some were made Of plain,
transparent glass, and others were
opalescent or milky, ribbed in concen-
trio circles and ornamented on the rims
with floral designs, scroll work and
stars, About the year 1910 the glass
manufacturers introduced n new style
Of decoration, which met with much
favor, consisting OF devices Of patriot
ic or historical character, and such pat
terms are now in great demand among
collectors and curiosity hunters.
During the Clay and Harrison cam
palgns glass cup plates with log cabin
designs and alleged portrait busts OF
the presidential candidates were ex-
ceedingly popular, and even now they
are occasionally met with at country
sales or in secondhand china shops
To meet the increasing demand for
such wares the range of decorative sub
jects was extended to include historical
monuments, noted steamships and pub
lie buildings. The majority Of these
designs came, doubtless, from Engand,
but 1t is probable, judging from the In
innate knowledge Of political and his
torlcal events which they indicate, that
some Of them originated in this coun-
try. Yet 1t is not an easy matter posi-
lively to assign any Of them to a par
ticular factory, since they seem to bear
no marks by which they can be iden-
titled. know that certain forms Of

One Of the largest crowds which has ever
cOngregated in Omaha was handled in excel
lent shape last night by the police. Chief
Sigwart ordered Both the night and day
forces to report for duty. in the down town
districts, and at O'Clock nearly 100 officers
were patrolling Douglas. Farnam Harvey
and tho intersecting thOrOughfaTvs. The
biggest jams occurred at the corners Of Six
tcenth and Fsrnam and Sixteenth and Doug
las streets. Eight men were stationed on
Farnam and sixteenth, and part of the time
there were five at Sixteenth and Douglas.
The crowd was thoroughly good natured and
with the execution of n gang OF free silveritgs
who had imbibed too much liquid enthusi-
asm to be consistent with good conduct
who congregated al Sixteenth and Farnam,
nothing marred the passing of the big
parade.
While one of the sections of the parade
was passing down Fifteenth street. near
Douglas on its way to the starting point, n
wagon driven by a reckless driver. ran over
a stranger and knocked him violently to
the pavement lie scrambled to his feet
and seemed uninJured His name could not
be learned.
AS the Continental Drum corps, which led
the parade. was passing Sixteenth and Doug

Then came the Union Veteran League Re
publican club, 500 strong, under the leader
ship of Major j. S. Miller. They marched
In ranks OF four and were close together
Many wore their Grand Army of the Re
public uniforms, and the number of Ameri-
can flags in this part of the parade was
sufficient to indicate the character of the
men composing IL. Under the command OF
j. w. Cress about fifty old soldiers from
South Omaha marched with their comrades
of this city. a hundred Sons OF Veterans
followed the boys of 81. The old soldiers
and the junior patriots were preceded by

conclusive evidence that the Bohemans OF
the First ward will not vote for free silver

of the Danish Republican club, which turned

been exceedingly doubtful. The wisdom Of
our action has becDme more evident each
succeeding day, We not only preserved
the sound money sentiment In the demo-
cratic party. but checked the break from
the republican to the free silver ranks. and
have been an important factor in building
up healthy sentiment in both parties II
was certainly a peculiar situation that re-
stump in behalf OF the true principles to
influence republicans to vote their own
ticket. The action OF the sound money de-
mocracy has unquestionably had a very lib
eralizing influence on the leaders OF the re-

effort TO accomplish needed reforms in our
financial system"
