THE JeYoUs PLUMBER.
For Once He Ran Up Against a Stub.
born Boy Assistant.

Kansas City Star.
This is the story of the tanning of the jour
neyman plumber. The journeyman plumber
was the best of his kind in town, and was
much sought after by boss plumbers. AS one
of them described his talents: "He can sling
more material into a job in the greatest
length of time than any man in the busi-
ness.'' But the journeyman plumber was,
with all his talents, hard man to keep en-
ployed on account Of his irascibihty. His
temper was shorter than rabbits tail, and
he took out his indignation and his head
aches and rows with his wife on his helpers.
A helper to a journeyman plumber is a
youth who laysi, out tools, holds pipe, hands
the journeyman his solder and his soldering
iron. and who carries back and forth the

THE TRUE MOTHER.
Fitting the Story Of Solomon and the Two
Women to Financial Reform.

Fitting tho Story Of Solomon and the Two
Women to Financial Reform.
Denver Road
In this campaign of give and take
among silver advocates no party has
the bulge on the other. People who
abuse the Populists for their action
at st. Louis must remember that it
is q question just now who loves the
Populist platform the best. The
mother of the principles expressed in
it is the same old bewhiskered an
archist known as the Pop-and no
stepmother business goes.
1t the lovers Of silver really love
silver as well as they pretend, they
might give in just a little and con-
cede something to the mother on the
tail end of the ticket. The true
mother principle has been shown by
the Pops. AS the true mother of sill
yer they yielded to the Bryan men
rather than see the baby destroyed.
We are told in Holy Writ that upon
one occasion a dispute arose between
two women as to which was the
mother of child. The dispute was
submitted to King Solomon, who,
with that wonderful common sense
that has made his name synonymous
with wisdom through all the ages,
ordered that, inasmuch as there was
no way to decide as to the child's
maternity, that the child should be
split III twain and .one-half given to
one woman and the other half to the
other woman. When this order was
about to be carried into effect one
woman smiled and looked on with
satisfaction. The other, with true
motberly instinct, cried out: "No,
no! Do not kill the child, but spare
its life and give it to tie other
woman." Whereupon King Solomon
rendered the verdict that the true
mother of the child was the woman
who wanted to preserve its life and
was willing to make even such a
sacrifice to do SO. So in this cam
paign the Peoples Party will prove
to the American jury-America's
King Solomon-that it is the true
mother of financial reform and the
true friend and guardian of the in.
terests Of the American people.

Of Colonel Harvey, who spoke in be-

the SeabOard was not bought for the
Southern, but on the contrary will be
operated in connection with the Port

Pockets In Gowns.

English tailors make some of their
gowns with two pockets on the sides
Of the front gore of the skirt, the open
ings covered with machine-stitched
tabs. An excellent idea, as it prevents
one pocket being filled with purse,
handkerchief, keys, ETC., to the detri-
ment Of the hang Of the drapery, and
the eventual sagging of one side o.
the skirt, and it will be a great matter
for a woman for once in her pocket to
ind her dress-pocket without a gen.
