Tom Bowers, Jr,, who is a printer
by the way and also good writer,
and was at one time connected with
a paper here, has like our friend
Fee Kennett, gone into the music
writing business. Fee" composed
a clever skirt dance, which we hear
played in almost every parlor we
darken, and the theatrical troupes
passing through here have caught
on to young Tom Bowers songs.

FUNNY YOURSELF.

There is not a man in the district
that can beat Honest Tom McRae
for the position which he now holds
aud will continue to hold until he is

The Express Company is adver-
tising an old horse sale tor this
place. This does not mean that
they have an old horse for sale, but
after you buy package and open
it you will always wish 1t was an
"oId horse" and you will also wish
to remember that had it been a
horse, you would not have pur-
chased, as perhaps you would not
have been in the horse market,
This is no "horse on you" unless
you buy one Of those beautiful
packages sealed up and tied as
though it contained a watch, and
which after being opened is found
to contain a scent as though a
"rat" had beaten you TO it and
appropriated the same, The city

their whiskers since an old horse

The Republican financial plank
will doubtless be so worded that
goldbugs, silver men. tiatists and
everybody can claim it as their own
but no matter what the platform
says, the nominee will be a single
gold standard man.-Paris Advo-

Possibly so, but a straddle like
you speak of will surely defeat that
party at the polls. McKinley's star
app.ars to be in the ascendant, and
if he is the Republican nominee,
their financial plank will lean to the
gold standard, or else be for it
straight.

into prison.
In the prison n son was born, and this
child Win Ta conflded to the care of q
faithful Manchurian servant who secretly
fed with it to the north. That night the
mother died
That she might the better control the
old emperor, Woo Chi Tien had him re-

without her consent even tho most faith.
full generals and councillors could not sec
him. She permitted the attendance Of ply
sicians, but she allowed no one to admin
lister medicine but herself.
She took care tn make friends with men
who might be useful to her purpose when
the time came, and against those who
complained of her conduct her vengeance
was swift and cruel.
At length Ly Khan died. and great was
the grief Throughout the Middle Flowery
Kingdom. The news of lis death was ac-
cOmpaniod by his last proclamation, duly
attested, in which he appointed Woo Chi
Tien his successor and begged, as {. last
request. that his faithful subjects should
obey her rs they lad him. Up 20 this
time women had lad great influence in
the affairs Of the kingdom, but ono mad
never sat on the throne.
Woo Chi Ticn caused her great grief to

under 1.-THE imposter,' as she called the
young prince. Woo Chi Tien knew the
Importance of checking this rebellion at
once. She summoned q great army, and
when the day came for it to march she
mounted ffne horse, and dressed in
armor and holding aloft the flaming drag
on flag of the Middle Flowery Kingdom,
she rode down the lines of the army, call
ing out:
Il am your empress! I Twill share your
danger and lead you against the impostor
and the rebels Of Manchurinp'
She looked SO beautiful and brave that
the whole army was thrilled. And when
she rode at the head as it marched north
even those whom she had SO cruelty wrong
ed were fiIlAG with a temporary admiration.
The young prince was now over 16, but
life in the mountains had mctured him
and Injured him to arms and hardship.
The servant who carried him of theNight
Of his birth had with him the proofs Of the
child's descent. A secret society was
formed to care for the boy till the time
was ripe to assert his claim.
Tho march of the empress was rapid.
They came up with the rebels In time, and
unwisely on the part of the PRINCES ad-
visers a great battle was risked and
fought. Woo Chi Tien was successful,
and tho rebels were scattered.
The next day n young man dressed as
the prince, and with tho arms Of Ty Khan
on his jewels, was found wandering in the
hills. He declared he was q shepherd, but
his dress contradicted that, SO he was exc
cuted, and Woo Chi Tien, satisfied that she
had crushed the rebellion and destroyed q
dangerous rival, hurried back to tho CAPT.
tai.
Again night was turned into day and
pleasure ran riot, and the taxes of the peo-
pie were increased, bccau e of the war 1t
was claimed.
But the story told by the I'd whom Woo
Chi Tien executed was true. The young
prince had become separated from his
companions, and it was the shepherd who
insisted on a change OF dress, in tho hope
OF saving his young master.
Woo Chi Tien enjoyed a few more years
Of peace and riot In the meantime the
safety of the prince was known to his
friends. Secret societies of his adherents
were formed throughout the empire. Gov
ernors entered into the conspiracy. The
army was corrupted. Then one day came
when the whole Middle Flowery Kingdom
was in a state of rebellion.
Woo Chi Tien was among the first tc
realize the danger. The capital had been
strongly fortified and into this she gath
cred the faithful.
A few weeks and under the banners Of
Ly Khan the Second, as he was now
called, a great army besiegcd Picking. Aft
or repeated assaults the place was carried
by storm and Woo Chi Ticn was seized
just as she was about to end her own life.
1t mars the romance of this story, but
it Is consistent with Chinese methods to
record that Woo Chi Tien and her advisers
were wrapped up in infiammable material
and the night Of their capture they were
placed on the walls and, like living
torches, burned to death in sight Of the
people they had SO wronged.
