CAMPAIGN SONG.


Written by J. b. stannard, for the Bulletin
Rouse We freemcn, and ALL
Hark, our chieftan winds his call
And the godhugs now are foamng like the sea-
With their single standard gold
Framed by willy traitors bolt
And have cursed our land since 1873.
Chorus-Tramp. tramp, tramp our knights are
racrhing, steady boy united be-
And with Brran for our guide
over factions waves We'll ride
And inaugurate bright silver coinage free.
With false arguments and fraud,
These guldbugs freely stored,
But the hndest now their emptiness can see
And they've mortgaged one and ALL
But wen burst the bonds this fall
And inaugurate bright silver coinage free!
Chorus
With a country grandeSt, best
In both metals richly blest
which united would bring us prosperity.
Every man would find employ,
Every heart be filled with JOY,
And all beneath our starry banner free.
Chorus
Now, fer twenty-three long years
We've seen naught but want and tears
And to foreign trusts we've humbly beut the knee
But this fall Of ninety-six
Well destroy their knaysh tricks
And inaugurate bright silver coinage free,
Chorus
Now Mckinley to my mind
dark spot will leave behind,
On his brow the vietor's wreath will never be-
For Bryan will no doubt
Next November howl him out
And inaugurate bright silver coinage free.
Chorus

cavalier, who doffed his hat to her as he
presented the card that bore her name, SO
finely and beautifully written that only
very young eyes could read it unaided.
BY lifting this card one might read the
printed rhyme beneath-the rhyme so ten
der and loving that it needed only the in
scription of a name on the flap above it
to make 1t all-SuffIcient in personal appli-
cation to even the most faStidiouS.
This gorgeous affair was artfully con-
structed that by drawing its pictured front
forward it could be made to stand alone,
when there appeared a fountain in the
background and a brilliant peacock with
argus-eyed tail, great rose on tiny bush
and a crescent moon. The oldest children
had been very small when this resplendent
ccnfection had come into their home. Some
of them had not been born, but they had
all grown up in the knowledge of it.
There had been times in the tender mem
orieS OF all of them when Aunt Minnie
mad locked her door, and because they had
been very good let them take little peep
at her beautiful valentine, which she kept
carefully locked away in her bureau
drawer.
They had on occasions been allowed to
wash their hands and hold it-just a min
ute.
1t had always been a thing to wonder
over, and once-but this was the year it
came-when her sky seemed as rosy as
the ribbon about her waist-Miss Jernirna
had stood it up on the whatnot in the par
Ior when the church sociable met at her
brothers house. and everybody in town
had seen it, while for her it made the whole
corner of the room beautiful.
But the quarrel had soon followed-a
FOOLISH lovers qUarrel-Eli had gone away
In anger-and that had been the end.
Disputes over trifics are the hardest 10
mend, each party finding it so difficult to
forgive the other for being angry for so
slight a cause.
Ard SO the years had passed
For ten long years the beautiful yalen-
tine had lain carefully put away For
five years Jemima had looked at 1t with
fearless eyes and a hardened heart. And
then came the memorable first anniver-
sary when the children of the household
began to celebrate the day, and tiny comic
pictured pages began fitting in from their
school sweethearts. The realization of
the new era was a shock to Miss Jemirna
In the youthful merriment of those bud
ding romances she seemed to see a sort of
reflection of her own long-ago Joy, and
In the faint glow of it she felt impeIled
10 go to her own room and to lock the
door and look at the old valentine.
With new strange tremor about her
neart and an unsteady hand she took 1t
out, and when in the light of awakened

SKUNK HUNTING IN NEW ENGLAND.


Material Profits OF the Chase I'm Sup
plying Skins, Which Are In Demand.
From the Springfield Republican.
Throughout the hilly farms of New Eng
land another skunk skin crop has now been
gathered in. 1t isn't harvest which is
mentioned in the regular agricultural sta
ustics. but it is an important one, neverthe-
less, and a very large proportion of barns,
especially among the meadows of Con-
necticut and central Massachusetts,, are now
rejoicing ia their store of garnered skunks.
In fact, the skunk skin is the most i'm
portant thing in the line of fur which is
still exported from the more civilized parts
OF Now England. The mink skin is more
valuable, but it is now quite rare, and the
muskrat though plenty, is SO cheap as to
skunk Is both quite valuable and still fairly
plenty, increasing and multiplying in a
riotous, six-fold geometrical progression
that would let 1t inherit the earth in half
dozen generations IL it were not for the
intrepid pursuit of the small boy and the
farmer. Besides. it furnishes an exhilarat-
ing sport for all In search of adventures
aneld; But by certain delicacy of our
sporting writer's much has been left unsaid
which might be said of the dangers dis
asters and hairbreadth escapes of skunk
ing. This cannot be looked on otherwise
than as loss to literature
How important a side issue this skunk
catching, in many cases, is to farmers can
be seen by the fact that 1t is estimated
that from 1900 to 25.OO0 skunk skins, aver
aging about fifty cents apiece to their cap
tors. were sent out from the state of Con-
necticut alone last year. The skins were
nearly all sent abroad, the prices being
governed by three big sales in London,
one in January, one in March and one In
June At last January's sales there were
10000 skins disposed of. OF these a great
proportion are said to go for use as caps
In the Russian and other continental ar
mics. With these data, we cannot refrain
from remarking with surprise the neglect
OF the skunk dog as factor in European
warfare

Some of the Notions Which Were En-

Some of the Notions Which Were En-
tertained Years Ago.
From the Spectator.
That idea was almost dominant in re-
ligious society sixty years ago, and some
times assumed forms which, IL not ridicu-
lous, were at least quaint. 1t was, for in
stance. held to be wrong for any but the
aged to sit in easy chairs. not, as is now
vainly imagined, from any ignorant idea
as to the injury done to the figure. but be-
cause "lolloping" betrayed a blameworthy
tendelcy to ease and self-indulgence. That
was the origin also Of the extraordinary
prejudice against taking any extra Sleep
The old knew we'll that Sleep when sleep is
not needed. is to the young the most weari-
some of all obedienccs, but nevertheless
they believed that to wish to sleep more
than strictly regulated time. which, ac-
cording to modern hygeists, was too short
was mark of sluggish self-indulgence, and
1t was visited, therefore, with moral repro
baton.
Early rising was extravagantly praised
not because 1t heightened the day, for the
early risers went to bed early, but because
1t was d.Sagreeable; and some curious rules
of diet-for example, abstinence from sugar
were defended in part upon the same
principle. We have known girls cut off
their curls avowedly because they were
proud of them, and men go about in shah
by clothes, because, as they averred and
believed. 1t was well by diminishing COM

scraps of paper collected at this period
from the scrap basket, on each one of

terms bits of rough sketch of a note in
which occurred broken sentences like the

tine just as hearty as l sent the old one
eighteen years.

again every year long as 1 live, unless
you take"
''If you want the old one back again and
me along with it."
One OF the lowest things that even a
very depraved and unprincipled person
ever did is to collect torn scraps from any
body's waste basket and to read them.
To print them otherwise make them
public is a thing really too contemplate
to contemplate in ordinary circumstances
But this case, if inteligently considered
seems somewhat exceptional, and perhaps
it is well to do so.for,be 1t borne in mind all
these scraps, without exception, and a
few others too sacred to produce even
here, are the things that Eli Taylor post
master, did not send to his old sweetheart,
Jemima Martha Sprague.
Miss Jenima always burned her scraps,
and so, even were it well to condescend to
seeking similar negative testimony from her
concerning her laboriously written reply it
would have been quite impossible. Certain
l. is however, that she posted a note on the
following day, and that a good many in
